Kirsten Corley, Chance the rapper’s wife took to her Instagram to announce that the pair have decided to part ways. “After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways. We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together. We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition,” she wrote.

This is after she shared a post on social media claiming that people don’t grow, they marry… have the nerve to have children but don’t grow up. “Most people don’t grow up, it’s too damn difficult. What happens is that most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older,” the post reads.

It continued, “But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy, it’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And even more, to succeed.”

The filing comes months after she announced on her Instagram that her and Chance were separated. The couple has had a few public issues since they got married in 2019 in Newport Beach, California, including a viral video of Chance dancing with other women at Carnival. Documentation has not yet been released on their reasonings for filing and the couple has been low-key in the spotlight when it comes to their relationship overall. Chance the Rapper has not posted anything regarding the divorce on his page.

Just when fans thought Cardi B and Offset were on the road to healthy co-parenting, the estranged couple proved otherwise with a fiery exchange on social media. On Dec. 18, Cardi B took to X (formerly Twitter) to demand that Offset finalize their divorce, bringing their ongoing drama back into the spotlight.

Offset, 33, set the stage for the online spat with a now-deleted post calling out Cardi’s priorities. “Stop capping to these ppl to make yourself look like the hoe it ain't the look,” he wrote. “You a fire woman, good music, but you focus on d**k and tryna make me look bad.” His closing advice? “Focus, bra. This s**t is whack from us both, honestly.”

Cardi wasn’t about to let that slide. Responding in her own now-deleted post, the 'WAP' hitmaker fired back, “So dating because I’m single means I’m just worried about d**k?? You sound like a dummy.” She didn’t mince words, demanding, “F**k off and sign the papers TODAY.”

The tension is nothing new for the couple, who first tied the knot in 2017. Cardi initially filed for divorce in 2020 before reconciling two months later. However, she filed again in August, marking another chapter in their tumultuous relationship. The two share three children: Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and a 3-month-old baby girl.

The heated exchange came just four days after Cardi claimed they were on good terms. During a Dec. 14 X Spaces audio broadcast, she shared, “We ain’t beefin’. We ain’t really speaking. So I think we’re getting to a point that is really healthy co-parenting.” Cardi even attended Offset’s birthday party in Miami on the same day.

But as this latest round of public arguments shows, peace can be fleeting. While fans might hope for a resolution, it seems the saga of Cardi B and Offset is far from over.

Milagro Gramz who is a YouTuber has been sued by rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The “hot girl summer” rapper has alleged that the YouTuber has continued to harass her and make false claims about her 2020 shooting by Tory Lanez. According to a lawsuit filed in Florida’s Southern District Court on Wednesday and obtained by USA TODAY on Thursday the rapper is accusing Milagro Cooper, known as Milagro Gramz, of cyberstalking, emotional distress and promoting an “altered sexual depiction” for sharing deepfake pornography images of the star.

Cooper deployed a “years-long campaign of harassment” and cyberbullying against the “Savage” rapper on behalf of Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, who was convicted in 2022 of shooting and wounding her and was sentenced to 10 years in prison the following year.

According to Loren Lorosa, Megan’s legal team have obtained receipts showing Milagro Gramz received payment from Tory Lanez father. “I have exclusive details… I’m told that while providing proof of 1 of a few ways Meg’s team is alleging Tory Lanez is harassing her from jail… Megan’s lawyers obtained Zelle records showing Tory Lanez father sending money to blogger Milagro Cooper to allegedly post negative stories about Meg. Payments allegedly include… $3,000 between October 28, 2020 and March 3, 2022, in six payments between $200 and $1000.”

Lorosa also alleged that Tory’s team falsely claimed that the gun and fragments from the incident are missing while trying to prove Tory’s innocence. Tory Lanez also filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus (an ask to be set free) which Meg’s team alleges Tory Lanez team filed one day before the premiere of Ms. Pete’s Amazon prime documentary titled, “Megan Thee Stallion: In her words.”

The blogger's X account has been suspended, and her Instagram account may have been deleted or deactivated. Cooper’s defense team, California nonprofit Unite the People Inc., said in an emailed statement on Thursday that the lawsuit makes “a lot of false claims against” the blogger’s “professional conduct in an attempt to stop her from reporting on the Daystar Peterson (AKA Tory Lanez) case.”
