Everything that has gone down between Stefon Diggs' girlfriend Cardi B and rapper Nicki Minaj The feud between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj began back in 2017 when the Grammy winner broke all records after she released, 'Bodak Yellow'.

LiAngelo Ball and Rashida Nicole are getting a divorce (Image via Getty Images) Former NBA player LiAngelo Ball recently filed for divorce from Rashida Nicole. This happened days after the influencer revealed that she was expecting the couple's child. However, TMZ Sports claims that they have already decided to part ways. According to the publication, the former NBA player went to a Southern California courthouse on July 3 to file the divorce. Although it's unclear when the couple were married, witnesses have reported seeing them leave the same SoCal courtroom in February while holding a big packet and dressed all in white. LiAngelo Ball caught in family drama as he files for divorce days after pregnancy news Once again, LiAngelo Ball is in the news, but this time, not for basketball. The rapper and former UCLA baller, who gained popularity for his viral song "Tweaker," has formally filed for divorce from his wife, Rashida Nicole. The announcement came just a few days after she made her pregnancy public. Since there didn't seem to be any recent turmoil between the couple, at least not on the internet, fans were taken aback by the decision. Moreover, there had been no recent indications of conflict between the two as well. Furthermore, when Rashida Nicole disclosed on June 26 that she and her now-former husband were expecting a child together, he "liked" the post. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He even commented with a lock and key and a heart emoji.

He further commented: 'I'll never leave or 'abandon' any of my kids, so we can dead that right now… I love all my children,' he declared. Now, with a baby on the way and a divorce underway, both the rapper and the influencer are entering a new chapter of their lives. As of now, neither party has made a public statement regarding the divorce filing. Fans will likely be watching closely for any updates in the coming weeks.

Vidya Balan reveals she lost more than 8 films in the South after people labelled her a 'jinx' following the shelving of Mohanlal's Chakram
Before she became one of Indian cinema's most celebrated performers, Vidya Balan faced a string of rejections that would have broken many. In a recent interview, she opened up about a particularly painful chapter—being labelled a 'jinx' after her debut Malayalam film Chakram, opposite Mohanlal , was abruptly shelved just days into production. The film's collapse wasn't due to her performance but rather creative differences between the director and Mohanlal. Still, the fallout was swift and brutal. Vidya, who had already signed 8–9 South Indian films, saw every single offer vanish overnight. 'I was thinking to myself, I was a star,' she recalled in a conversation with Rodrigo Canelas. 'Then Chakram got shelved, and I lost each of those films. People said I brought bad luck. ' Superstition and Stigma in the Industry In a culture where astrology and energy are often intertwined with casting decisions, Vidya became a scapegoat. Producers whispered about her 'aura', and some even claimed her presence had doomed the project. She was replaced in films without notice—sometimes after already shooting scenes. According to reports by Pinkvilla, one Tamil producer reportedly told her parents, 'Does she even look like a heroine?' The comment devastated her. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

'It came from a personal issue someone had with me, but it spread like wildfire.' Faith, Family, and the Fight to Rebuild Despite the heartbreak, Vidya didn't give up. She leaned on her family—especially her sister Priya, who reminded her of actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu, who also faced early rejection. Vidya even completed a master's degree in sociology as a backup plan. Her emotional anchor during this time? A convent-school hymn: 'One day at a time, sweet Jesus.' She repeated it like a mantra, telling herself, 'Just get through today.' The Turning Point: Pradeep Sarkar and Parineeta Three years after her lowest point, Vidya met ad filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar, who cast her in a music video and later promised to make a film with her. That promise became Parineeta (2005), her Bollywood debut—and a career-defining moment. 'For the first time, I felt seen,' she said. 'Dada had so much faith in me. I rebuilt myself through that film.' From 'Jinxed' to National Icon Vidya went on to deliver powerhouse performances in The Dirty Picture, Kahaani, Tumhari Sulu, and Sherni, earning a National Film Award and the Padma Shri.
