The Detroit Lions are setting a new course for their Thanksgiving halftime show. This is through a multiyear partnership with Eminem and Shady Records co-founder Paul Rosenberg. The agreement, which runs through 2027, hands creative control of the annual performance to two of Detroit’s most influential music figures. They will now choose the artists who take the stage each year. Rosenberg said the collaboration feels both personal and historic. “Partnering with the Lions allows us to join one of Detroit’s most cherished traditions. We are eager to curate unforgettable performances for fans both at Ford Field and beyond, reaching millions across the nation.” His comments reflect a shared belief that the city’s music and its football culture can elevate one another. Wide receiver Jameson Williams welcomed the move as a chance to strengthen the team’s bond with the community. “This is a significant opportunity for us to showcase local artists,” he said. “Involving a Detroiter in the selection process is vital; it not only enriches the event but also fosters community pride.” He added that Detroit’s identity continues to shape the team’s relationship with its fans. A star-powered Detroit lineup sets a new tone for Lions halftime The Lions have also enlisted Jesse Collins Entertainment to produce the halftime show. This decision, President and CEO Rod Wood said, will bring new visibility to the event. “Working with Marshall and Paul—two of the music industry’s most celebrated figures and devoted Lions fans—is a game-changer for us. Their extensive experience will undoubtedly draw in premier talent. This will ensure that our Thanksgiving performance becomes one of the NFL’s most highly anticipated cultural events.” The announcement comes as Eminem surpasses 60 million monthly Spotify streams. He trails only Drake and Travis Scott among the most-played rappers worldwide. His continued global presence adds momentum—and a broader audience—to a project the Lions hope will become a defining part of the franchise’s identity. As Thanksgiving approaches, the collaboration signals more than a refreshed halftime lineup. It marks an effort to link Detroit’s musical legacy with one of the city’s oldest traditions. The goal is creating a holiday stage shaped by the people who helped put its sound on the map.

Nicki Minaj is facing a renewed legal challenge as former fan Tameer Peak has refiled a defamation lawsuit in New York. Peak claims that during a 2024 Stationhead live broadcast, Minaj publicly humiliated him. Allegedly, she called him “one sandwich short of a picnic” and suggested he relied on government assistance. If upheld, these statements could be considered damaging to his reputation. The lawsuit was originally filed in New Jersey but dismissed early, prompting Peak to pursue the case in New York. The refiling comes as Minaj now navigates the proceedings without her longtime attorney, Judd Burstein. Reports indicate that Burstein’s sudden withdrawal has left Minaj seeking new legal representation while facing mounting deadlines. Minaj Requests More Time After Lawyer Abruptly Exits Her business management firm, the Northstar Group, filed a motion requesting an extension. They seek to allow Minaj sufficient time to retain counsel. “All legal deadlines and motions should be paused,” the filing states. They emphasize that incoming attorneys need time to review the case thoroughly. The firm also noted that Burstein’s departure occurred without prior notification, complicating the unfolding proceedings. Burstein has offered little explanation for stepping back, saying only that while he successfully secured a dismissal in New Jersey, continuing representation in New York “was not appropriate.” He declined to elaborate further, leaving the circumstances surrounding his decision unclear. As the case develops, observers will closely follow Minaj’s response and the court’s handling of the lawsuit.

Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) appears to be taking steps toward reconciliation. According to reports, the rapper has reached out directly to several of his Jewish collaborators. He apologized for his past behavior. He has also begun removing his inflammatory track “Heil Hitler,” which was released earlier this year. This marks what seems to be a conscious effort to repair his image. A recent meeting with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto seems to have sparked this latest shift. The encounter, which took place last week, showed a visibly reflective West expressing remorse for his past remarks. The moment was shared on Rabbi Pinto’s Instagram. It quickly spread across social media and reignited public discussion about West’s journey toward redemption. In the post, Rabbi Pinto’s message was one of compassion and faith. “Rabbi Pinto welcomed Ye with open arms, inspiring him with teachings of Torah while supporting his journey toward truth,” the caption read. The Rabbi also shared a thoughtful message: “A person is not defined by his mistakes, but rather by how he chooses to amend them. True strength is found in the ability to return, learn, and foster bonds of love and peace.” Ye is reportedly reaching out to former collaborators, particularly those who are Jewish, to offer personal apologies. He has also been issuing takedowns for a song he released earlier this year. pic.twitter.com/LjElIxoACz — Kurrco (@Kurrco) November 13, 2025 Redemption starts, questions linger Their meeting closed on a hopeful note. It reflected a desire for understanding across cultures and faiths. Rabbi Pinto emphasized that truth and peace are the foundation of any lasting change—a sentiment that resonated with many of West’s followers online. Still, questions remain about whether this transformation will endure. West has previously pledged to move past antisemitism, only for those claims to fade with time. In May, he stated he was “done with antisemitism” after a FaceTime conversation with his children. Months earlier, he credited a film starring Jonah Hill for restoring his admiration for Jewish people. For now, West’s intentions appear sincere, but the test lies in consistency. As he steps into this new chapter, the world will be watching. They want to see whether his actions align with his words—and whether his redemption story holds beyond the headlines.

Swizz Beatz is confronting legal challenges over allegations of questionable financial dealings. Last year, liquidators in the British Virgin Islands filed a lawsuit. They claim that Beatz knowingly profited from what they describe as “fraudulent transfers” tied to the 1MDB scandal. This is a multibillion-dollar scheme involving money laundering and bribery. Beatz has consistently defended himself, insisting that the disputed $7.3 million came from legitimate sources. His legal team argues that the funds stemmed from lawful investments and professional service payments. Not from controversial figures such as Jho Low. In court documents, his attorneys emphatically denied any intent to defraud. They stated, “all payments were received without actual fraudulent intent and for reasonably equivalent value.” They also clarified that although Beatz was introduced to Low, their relationship never became a personal friendship. This counters the narrative suggested by the plaintiffs. Judge Blocks Beatz’s Dismissal Over Fraud Claims Earlier this year, Beatz filed a motion seeking to remove himself and his companies from the ongoing litigation. He argued that the liquidators’ claims lacked merit. He contended that the lawsuit was being used to pressure him over assets that are legally unrecoverable. Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald denied the motion, ruling that the claims were timely. She stated that the court had jurisdiction to hear the case. She noted that the liquidators presented specific facts that could imply potential fraudulent activity. Thus, keeping the allegations active.

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have accused Lil Durk of showing “contempt for the judicial process.” This accusation is according to an eight-page court filing. It raises new concerns about his ongoing criminal case. The document alleges that members of Durk’s OTF (Only the Family) collective have issued threats toward witnesses. Additionally, a judge and prosecutor tied to the proceedings have also been threatened. Prosecutors are now pushing for an anonymous jury. They argue that the measure is necessary to protect jurors and ensure a fair trial. “Preventing the leaking of jurors’ personal identifying information is a paramount concern in a case where supporters have already made threats,” the filing stated. The request highlights growing unease about potential intimidation tactics surrounding the high-profile case. Durk’s attorney, Drew Findling, has strongly opposed the idea of an anonymous jury, describing it as an overreach that risks undermining the fairness of the trial. He maintains that the presumption of innocence must guide the proceedings. According to him, transparency should not be compromised without compelling justification. “Every defendant deserves a fair and open process,” Findling said, calling the move “a drastic step.” He argues it should only be used in exceptional circumstances. He warned that treating the jury as anonymous from the outset could prejudice the panel against his client before any evidence is presented. Murder-for-Hire Allegations The case stems from accusations that Lil Durk orchestrated a plot to retaliate against rapper Quando Rondo. This was following the 2020 death of King Von, a close associate. Prosecutors allege Durk coordinated efforts for individuals to travel from Chicago to Los Angeles with the intent of targeting Rondo. The 2022 shooting left Rondo injured and killed his cousin, Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson. Prosecutors claim the attack was an act of revenge. However, Durk’s defense team insists the allegations are based on speculation and lack substantial proof.

Tory Lanez has faced another legal blow as the California Court of Appeal affirmed his felony convictions. He received a 10-year prison sentence in connection with the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. The decision, confirmed by legal journalist Meghann Cuniff, maintains the sentence. This is despite Lanez’s recent efforts to challenge the ruling. Earlier this year, Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, released a detailed 31-page report. It addressed Lanez’s attempts to dispute the conviction. Spiro emphasized that the jury’s decision was supported by compelling evidence. This included Lanez’s own admissions. “Despite Mr. Lanez being convicted at trial by overwhelming evidence… he and his team—flanked by any ignorant person they can find—have pushed whatever misleading narrative they can,” Spiro told Rolling Stone. He added that attempts to rewrite the story have repeatedly collapsed under scrutiny. “All that is left is the simple truth: he was convicted by overwhelming evidence. Those who seek to traumatize the victim of the crime should be called out as foolish bullies,” he stated. View this post on Instagram Camera Footage and DNA Drive Lanez Civil Testimony Ruling Key evidence cited in the ruling included Ring camera footage presented during the trial. Additionally, DNA analysis indicated a 90 percent likelihood that the shooter was male. In a related development, a judge recently dismissed Lanez’s effort to avoid testifying in a civil lawsuit. This lawsuit was filed by Megan Thee Stallion against gossip blogger Milagro Gramz, also known as Milagro Cooper. Megan alleges that Cooper spread false information about the shooting and trial. This was reportedly with Lanez’s financial backing. Lanez’s attorneys argued that testifying could jeopardize his criminal appeal. Judge Lisette M. Reid, however, ruled that the deposition was relevant only to Lanez’s interactions with Cooper. It would not prejudice his criminal case. “The court does not see how testimony regarding Mr. Peterson’s communications and relationship with the defendant would serve to prejudice his criminal appeal,” the judge noted, as reported by Billboard.
