According to the New York Post, the 30-city tour will kick off in January and will feature all three acts sharing the same stage each night. Not “my turn, your turn” but actually performing together. On their Instagram account, Boyz II Men shared that the tour will be historic, combining powerhouse vocals, emotional ballads, and decades of chart-topping hits.

Comedian and actor Michael Blackson and his longtime fiancée Rada Darling have split amid Blackson admitting that he welcomed a child with a “female friend” seven weeks after Darling gave birth to their son.

The comic recently took to Instagram to break the news of his separation from Darling.

Darling, in her response to Blackson on Instagram, was not amused.

“I don’t normally respond but let’s just agree that was the most pathetic post or apology ever,” she wrote in her caption. “I’m walking in peace, guided by God’s grace. My energy belongs to my 4-month-old son, not to negativity.”

She wrapped up her statement by making it clear that she’s choosing herself, realizing it was her fault for not listening to everyone who cared about Blackson and for staying too long.

“I take full accountability for staying in the circus too long,” she wrote. “His type was never me because I’m a real woman. This is what happens when you hold a man down 100%.”

Maverick City Music, an award-winning worship collective, is now down two high-profile members. Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine released statements on social media earlier this month announcing their departures. Previously, former Maverick City Music members Joe L. Barnes, Aaron Moses, and Dante Bowe left in 2022.

In an Instagram statement, Moore explained his decision.

“These last two years, I’ve been locked in on what really matters in my life and my career,” he said. “It’s been scary at times, but it’s also been full of fresh vision and real excitement about the future. With that, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to end my relationship with Maverick City Music.”

Moore continued, “My dream hasn’t changed. I’m stepping into the next phase, ready to share my story and make music that helps people feel a little more human, a little more understood, and a little less alone.”

Maverick City Music was formed in 2018 and has won five Grammys. Among the group’s hits are “Jireh” and “Promises.”

Not too many people can leave sports personality and pundit Stephen A. Smith speechless, but Serena Williams’s husband Alexis Ohanian became one of the few and the proud recently as he confronted Smith over his earlier comments on the tennis legend’s dance at the Super Bowl. The beef dates back to February, when Williams joined Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance and C-Walked during “Not Like Us.”

Ohanian didn’t waste any time going at Smith during a recent episode of First Take, saying, “Stephen A. Smith, I think you had some marriage advice for me, is that right?”

When Smith attempted to deflect, Ohanian continued, “You hadn’t been married before, right? Because I give advice to plenty of founders who want to build billion-dollar companies … and the reason I do that is because I build billion-dollar companies… So I generally try to stay in my lane in the advice department.”

In response, Smith backpedaled and agreed that he wasn’t qualified to give marriage advice.
