LiAngelo Ball & Rashida Nicole Swerve Out Of Love
LiAngelo might be rapping “I might swerve, bend that corner, WOAH!”, but at home, Rashida Nicole says he’s swerving accountability. Reports show that the couple married on March 24, 2025, separated on June 15, and cited irreconcilable differences for their split — with LiAngelo filing for divorce just days after Rashida announced she was pregnant with their daughter, Lilo. Rashida has since called him a clown and a “#deadbeat,” insisting no one forced a grown man to be a dad. Meanwhile, he expressed regret over leaving his previous relationship with MissNikkiiBaby for Rashida. This one’s messy, theatrical, and giving full reality show energy.

Kristy Sarah Served Papers After Desmond Scott Cooked Up A Side Dish
Y’all! Kristy Sarah and Desmond Scott were just serving up major “couple goals” energy — now they’re a recipe for divorce. On December 30, 2025, it officially came out that Desmond allegedly added some extra flavor on the side — yes, he reportedly cheated — and his Instagram Story statement about it had fans shook. The next day after he spoke out, Kristy hit Instagram with a thirst trap hotter than a cast-iron skillet, leaving everyone questioning who’s really winning this messy course. While Desmond keeps cooking on camera, Kristy’s serving mirrors, meals, and updates. Meanwhile, the internet is still simmering over when and why this relationship really went up in flames.
Akon & Tomeka Thiam: Now He’s “Mr. Lonely”
Almost 29 years later, Akon said, “I’m Mr. Lonely… I have nobody for my own.” Tomeka Thiam filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. And when it comes to the money? Both said nah, we’re good. Akon checked the box to cut off spousal support, while Tomeka made sure the court can’t award him a dime either. The breakup gave the internet a rare peek into Akon’s love life — especially with those long-standing polygamy rumors still floating that he’s never exactly cleared up.
Chance The Rapper & Kirsten Corley Have “No Problem” Staying Friends
Chance is calling it growth, but the internet is calling it interesting. The rapper and Kirsten Corley finalized their divorce in 2025 after announcing their separation in 2024. Additionally, Corley filed in December 2024, citing the marriage as “irretrievably broken.” Childhood sweethearts turned parents, they married in 2019 but decided to part ways amicably to co-parent their two daughters, Kensli and Marli. Chance admitted he “was tripping” during his viral Carnival moment, saying the issue wasn’t the dancing — it was that no one knew they were separated, which made Kirsten “look dumb.” He added you should never let your lady look stupid, and, of course, the internet had plenty to say about that one.
