Yo, yo, yo – you already know what time it is! Things are heating up once again in the world of hip-hop drama. Guess who’s back in the headlines? That’s right – **Ja Rule** is at it again, this time digging up old footage and throwing shade at none other than **50 Cent**. Just when we thought the beef was buried, Ja let loose, and Fif wasn’t having it. Word is, 50 sent out a clear warning – basically saying, “Try that again, and watch what happens.”

But that’s not the only thing stirring the pot today. Let’s break it all down for you:

The artist formerly known as “Brother Love” is now at the center of a *major* federal RICO trial – involving **sex trafficking and illegal transportation for prostitution**. Jury selection starts May 7, with the trial kicking off around May 12.

And here’s the kicker: prosecutors **may play the infamous “freakoff” tapes** for the jury. These are the same tapes reportedly recovered during a raid at his home, along with hard drives and *thousands of bottles of baby oil* (yeah, you heard that right). The court is bracing jurors for graphic, possibly explicit content. Would *you* be able to stomach that kind of evidence?

Deandre Sanders – founder of Love Me Extensions and Dion’s daughter – opened up in a heartfelt interview about **postpartum depression** after having her child, Snow.

She kept it real: “Even with all the help in the world, I still felt lost. I felt like I lost my identity… like the old me was gone forever.”

Her honesty hit hard, reminding us that **no amount of support can completely shield you from the emotional rollercoaster of new motherhood**. She spoke about the silent suffering many women go through and the importance of finding peace with your new identity as a mom.

Attorney **Joe Tacopina** – who’s represented high-profile names like A$AP Rocky – is calling out the **judge in Wendy Williams’ guardianship case** for crossing the line.

According to him, the judge **publicly declared Wendy’s career was over** and issued a **gag order**, something that’s rarely seen in a civil guardianship case. Tacopina says Wendy is mentally sharp and still has star power, and he’s not backing down.

He claims the gag order is a **violation of her First Amendment rights**, and says he won’t rest until she’s free: “She’s been held in a place for over a year where she can’t leave. It’s insane – and I won’t leave her side until she’s out.”

R&B artist **Ne-Yo** just made headlines after revealing he’s in a **polyamorous relationship with four women** – and he’s not here for the judgment. According to Ne-Yo, none of the women are being forced, and **they all voluntarily agreed to exclusivity with him**.

But here’s the twist – **they can’t see other men**, while he reserves the right to date outside the group.

“I didn’t *ask* them to be exclusive,” Ne-Yo explained. “They offered it. But I made it clear – my exclusivity wasn’t part of the deal.”

He went on to say that he’s not running a cult or controlling anyone – everyone involved knows the rules and is there *by choice*.

From 50 Cent’s warning to Ja Rule, to federal trials, mental health confessions, court corruption, and open relationships – it’s been a wild ride this week in  celebrity news. Stay tuned, because something tells us things are just getting started.
