Ye’s Ex-Girlfriend Chaney Jones Pregnant


Black Cosmopolitians, congrats are in order for Chaney Jones, who is joining the newborn club in 2025! She announced her pregnancy on Valentine’s Day with behind-the-scenes footage of her maternity shoot.

Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to reflect new information. A previous article incorrectly identified the photographer used in the maternity shoot as Jones’ partner. 

Chaney Jones Shares THIS Message With Pregnancy Reveal

Jones became a public sensation when she briefly dated Ye back in 2022. At the time, he was still known as Kanye West. They’ve both moved on since. Ye married Bianca Censori, and Chaney has not revealed whom she is expecting her baby with. Jones tagged her photographer, @princeofthegram, in her sweet pregnancy reveal on Instagram but clarified to TSR that he is not her partner.

In her caption, she wished her mystery partner (seen in the reveal video) a Happy Valentine’s Day. The mommy-to-be also bragged about their love and excitement over becoming parents in the caption. It’s unclear whether Chaney already has any kids from any former relationships or if she’s a first-time mom.

“Our sweet baby, from the moment we knew you were coming, our hearts have been overflowing with love for you. Every kick, every tiny flutter is a reminder that our greatest blessing is growing inside me. Mommy and Daddy already love you more than words can say, and we can’t wait to hold you in our arms, to watch you grow, and to give you a lifetime of love and happiness. We love you endlessly 🖤 Happy Valentines Day baby thank you for giving me the best gift, our little bundle of joy,” Chaney Jones wrote in her Instagram caption.

Meanwhile, the video Jones shared on her profile shows her and her child’s father cheesin’ and posing with her exposed baby bump. In different scenes, she wore a black two-piece outfit and a white dress.

Some familiar entertainment industry faces slid into Chaney’s Instagram comment section with congratulatory messages. Rubi Rose and BIA wished her “congrats,” while Jayda Cheaves wrote, “Chain gang has a new member otw.”

Dream Doll, who is also expecting her first child, wrote: “Omg yessss congrats your going to be a great mommy.” Arrogant Tae added, “Wow congrats babe.” Leena Sayed, who just welcomed her first kiddo, dropped heart emojis on the post. Dana Tee–the mother of Diddy’s youngest daughter, Love–wrote a sweet message as well. “I can’t breatheeeeeeee yaassssssssssss congratulations ChaneyyyyBABBYYYYY,” she said.

Chaney Celebrates Valentine’s Day With Themed Shoot

On Sunday (Feb. 16), Chaney circled back on Instagram to share her lavish Valentine’s Day surprise, which included a stunning display of candles, red roses, and petals, paired with an intimate dining experience. Jones shared some of the fine dining plates on her IG Stories. She also shared a sneak peek at her gifted Chanel purses and jewelry. Meanwhile, the photo recap shows Chaney and her baby bump lying in the petals and posing throughout different parts of the display. In her caption, she wrote, “So this is love.”

As mentioned, Ye and Chaney Jones were in a public relationship between February and June 2022. That year, she acknowledged his birthday on June 8th, but the former couple parted ways later that month, and Chaney quietly removed all of their photos from her Instagram feed, per U.S. Weekly. Most recently, his marriage to Bianca was thrown into the spotlight after she popped out to the Grammys in a controversial “invisible dress.”

Megan Thee Stallion Recently Made Headlines Alongside Torrey Craig

As BlkCosmo previously reported, Megan Thee Stallion recently made headlines alongside Chicago Bulls NBA player Torrey Craig. In December, Meg popped out at a Bulls game, seemingly fueling rumors that she and Craig were dating. Prior to this, the couple had raised eyebrows after partaking in a “couples challenge” on social media.

The following month, however, a woman went viral after exposing her DMs with Craig, per BlkCosmo. The messages appeared to be from 2023 and showed Craig sending the woman money while also paying her compliments. In reaction, Craig took to social media, sharing a brief message about how people are looking for “clout.” Then, later that month, the baller returned to social media to seemingly let fans know that despite the hiccup, he and Meg were all good!

50 Cent responds to criticism with veiled disapproval on Twitter and YouTube over recent statements.

0

50 Cent has clapped back at Joe Budden after the podcast host suggested the rapper needed therapy following his controversial response to the death of Irv Gotti.

After Gotti’s passing on February 5, 50 Cent posted an Instagram photo of himself smoking hookah next to a fake tombstone, captioning it, “I’m smoking on dat Gotti pack, nah God bless him LOL.” Budden criticized the post on his podcast, calling it in poor taste and advising 50 to handle his emotions more privately, saying, “If 50 feel like that, then go smoke a cigar in the cigar room.”

The feud reignited after Budden blamed 50 Cent for the cancellation of a concert celebrating former drug lord Big Meech, advising the rapper to seek therapy. 50 responded in typical fashion, mocking Budden’s past sleepwalking incident where he was found naked in a hallway.

“Stay out my mix Joe talking about I need therapy,” 50 posted, adding, “B_itch you need to stop walking around naked. The f**k is you doing in the hallway with ya balls out PUNK!” He then trolled Budden on Instagram, sharing photos from the incident and questioning, “How you open the damn door if you sleep fool?”

Budden, however, stood by his comments, stating on his podcast that both 50 Cent and Kanye West need mental help. “Kanye West needs therapy. 50 Cent needs therapy,” Budden said, asserting that mental health needs to be addressed in hip-hop.

The back-and-forth shows no signs of slowing down, as 50 Cent continues to fire shots at Joe Budden, making it clear he’s not backing down from his stance.

Ja Rule and Juvenile Discuss Backlash and Industry Battles on ‘I Got Questions’

0
Hip-Hop icons Ja Rule and Juvenile catch up and trade stories on the latest episode of HipHopWired’s popular digital series, I Got Questions.In the latest episode of the I Got Questions digital series from HipHopWired, two MCs who ruled rap music in the late 1990s and early 2000s in Juvenile and Ja Rule sit down to discuss their careers and perspectives in shaping the culture. After indulging in a sip of the Murder Inc. veteran’s new honey botanical whiskey Amber and Opal, Ja Rule shares the story of how Juvenile and Cash Money Records’ rise coincided with the appearance of his first group, Cash Money Click.

The “Holla Holla” rapper also shared how while on tour with Jay-Z and listening to Juvenile’s hit “Ha” from his 400 Degreez album, he witnessed Jay-Z come up with the verse for the eventual remix in his head. “Oh I got a verse for this, I’m gonna have to reach out to them,” Ja Rule said. Juvenile confirmed how he and Jay-Z connected to do the remix, and revealed that some down in his hometown weren’t too pleased. “Boy, a lot of people in New Orleans, the Hip-Hop heads were going crazy,” he began laughing as he reminisced, “but the hood, they were like “Man, why you did that? You sellin’ out!!”  Juvenile also spoke about the Hot Boys reunion with Lil Wayne, B.G., and Turk, expressing how emotional it was for him. “If people watch it, they see me turn around a lot and I was turning around a lot because I was wiping my face,” he said. “I wondered if people realized what I went through to get my brothers on this stage together.”

Both rappers spoke about how hard it was to get the love from fans in New York, which led to Juvenile reminiscing about his legendary night at the Tunnel nightclub. Ja Rule then spoke about witnessing Ice Cube’s iconic performance at The Apollo Theatre in Harlem after his break with N.W.A. “When he took the hat off, and we saw he cut the Jheri-Curl off, we were throwing knots of money at the stage!!! Like, “Yeah, we got him! He’s with us!!”, he said.  

They also shared stories about working with two historic producers like the late Irv Gotti and Mannie Fresh, and welcoming newer artists who sample his hits. “Don’t take the record and redo what I did. Take it in another direction, and reinvent it,” Juvenile stated.

Check out the entire interview above.

Diddy Seeks to Dismiss Charge, Claims Racism in Superseding Indictment

0

Diddy is fighting back against a charge in the superseding indictment filed against him, alleging that the law itself is “racist.” The mogul’s motion, filed on Tuesday, February 18, seeks to dismiss the charge of transportation to engage in prostitution, one of three counts against him, which also include sex trafficking and racketeering.

The filing challenges the legality of the Mann Act, claiming it has never been used to prosecute a white person in its more than 100 years of existence and accusing the government of targeting Diddy, a powerful Black man. The motion argues that the law was originally designed to prohibit the transportation of women for sex, and that its use against Diddy is an example of racial bias. “Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful Black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished,” the document reads.

The defense also reiterated its position that all sexual activity involving Diddy and his partners was consensual. The motion further claims that federal prosecutors have leaked damaging information to the media, which has prejudiced the case and harmed Diddy’s reputation.

Prosecutors have yet to respond to Diddy’s motion to dismiss or the allegations of racial bias, although they previously rejected similar claims during a pre-trial hearing last October, calling them “baseless.” The trial is set to begin on May 5, with Diddy facing up to life in prison if convicted. He has consistently denied all allegations against him.

Did a Drone Really Catch Drake Off Guard? The Truth Behind the Viral Penthouse Footage

0

Drake is no stranger to viral moments, but his latest one has fans questioning what’s real and what’s just a clever stunt. A video recently surfaced showing the rapper seemingly startled as a drone invades his penthouse in Sydney, Australia, during his Anita Max Win Tour. His reaction? Grabbing an orange slider and launching it at the drone—missing spectacularly.

At first glance, the video seems like a massive invasion of privacy. But eagle-eyed viewers quickly picked up on a few suspicious details that suggest this might not be what it seems.

A Viral Marketing Stunt in Disguise?

One of the most telling signs that this may be a strategically planned stunt is the laptop screen in the video. Before Drake even appears, the camera pans to a laptop showing the Stake logo, an Australian-Curaçaoan online gambling platform. This small but crucial detail immediately set off alarm bells among fans.

Drake has a well-documented partnership with Stake, which was confirmed by Forbes in 2022. He has frequently streamed high-stakes bets on the platform, often gambling millions of dollars live. So, was this just an organic moment of a celebrity caught off guard—or a carefully crafted marketing play?

One user on X (formerly Twitter) put it bluntly:

“Drake, who is partnered with Stake, is seen gambling on Stake with the laptop conveniently facing the drone. This is an ad, come on people.”

Another added:

“‘Drake’s High-Stakes Surprise: Drone Catches Rapper’s Unaware Gambling Session on Stake!’ Man will sure do anything to double his cash.”

Did Drake Forget About Reflections?

Aside from the strategically placed branding, another giveaway that this may be staged is a reflection in the glass.

Viewers noticed that the silhouette of a man is visible in the window—likely the drone operator or someone helping orchestrate the clip. If this truly were an unplanned invasion of privacy, how would an entire production team be reflected in the background?

One unimpressed viewer pointed out:

“You know how you know Drake never looks in the mirror? He doesn’t know how reflections work.”

Another joked:

“I’m extremely concerned with the apparent tens of thousands of people who can’t tell that the Drake drone video is some kind of stunt. He’s not even acting that well in it.”

Why the Stunt Makes Sense

Drake is no stranger to playful marketing and online engagement. Whether it’s teasing fans about Kendrick Lamar beef, creating viral meme-worthy moments, or strategically plugging his brand affiliations, he understands the power of going viral.

If this was indeed a Stake-sponsored stunt, it achieved exactly what it set out to do—spark discussion, drive engagement, and reinforce Drake’s connection to high-stakes gambling.

The Takeaway: Clever Marketing or Coincidence?

While neither Drake nor Stake has officially confirmed that this was intentional marketing, the signs are hard to ignore. The laptop placement, the reflection, and the exaggerated reaction all seem too convenient to be accidental.

So, Black Cosmopolitans, what do you think? Was this a genuine invasion of privacy, or did Drake just pull off another marketing masterclass? Let us know in the comments!
