Photo by Lester Cohen/Getty Images for City of HopeOnce a member of En Vogue, Dawn Robinson recently took to YouTube to reveal that she’s been living in her car.“You guys, for the past almost three years, I have been living in my car. I said it! Oh my God, it’s out,” she said.According to Dawn, she was living with her parents in Las Vegas in 2020 but moved to LA after conflicts with her mother. Plans to stay with her former manger fell through, and he refused to approve any of the apartments she’d been looking at.“Sometimes I think people want to trap you and keep you in a situation where you’re vulnerable and depending on them, and I wasn’t the one,” Robinson said. “So yeah, I got out of there.”After researching “car life,” she figured she could do it and has since been living in Malibu, where she has a gym membership for the purpose of taking a shower. She notes her situation is not a way to get sympathy, as she’s been learning a lot about herself.“If you would have said to me while I was in En Vogue, ‘You’re going to be living in your car one day,’ I would have been like, ‘Huh? No, I’m always going to have an apartment. I can’t live in my car,’” Dawn said. “We say that we can’t do certain things before we even know we’re capable.”She adds she’ll be sharing her experience on YouTube and in a documentary. “Succeeding again is going to be amazing,” she said. “Sometimes before I go to sleep I visualize seeing that, seeing myself like, oh my God, #1 documentary. Whoever I sell it to, I don’t know, Netflix. Because people have to see what this is like.”Dawn left En Vogue in 2011Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Apple TV+You might have seen him as Pablo Escobar in Narcos or Captain Nascimento in Elite Squad. But in Apple TV+’s new show Dope Thief, Wagner Moura plays Manny, a grifter who poses as a DEA agent to rob drug dealers of their money and drugs. Wagner says the difference between Manny and the other two characters is in their intention.”Manny doesn’t want to be there. He doesn’t want to be part of that. He sees another future for himself. He understands that he can do something else with his life,” Wagner tells ABC Audio. “But then, as many other Latinos and Black and poor people in the world, they get caught in that cycle and they can’t escape. And that’s very tragic, right? So in a sense, it’s about the same subject, but the character’s very different.”In Dope Thief, Manny teams with best friend Ray (Brian Tyree Henry) for the scams, which are intended to be harmless ways to make a living. When they rob the wrong house and it turns into a life-or-death situation, Manny and Ray proceed to hold each other down on their quest to survive. Wagner says the bond seen between him and Brian formed quickly, as they are both “very spiritual people.””There was a connection immediately. But … can you imagine if, I mean, if there wasn’t?” Wagner asks. “You have to, like, be playing best friends in the van pretending that we like each [other].”He adds that Brian took his “role really seriously” and took care of him “since day one till today.””I feel like if I need some s***, I would call this [man],” Wagner says. “And that means a lot.” Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

ABC AudioTank is temporarily joining the Broadway musical Hell’s Kitchen. It will officially mark his debut on Broadway, but it’s something he says he was prepared for.”They got the right one,” he tells People. “I love it, it’s what I do. I work out twice a day and go to the studio. So I’m there, I’m built for this.”Tank will be replacing Brandon Victor Dixon as Davis, father of main character Ali, whose life is based on Alicia Keys’ experience growing up in New York City. Knowing Brandon earned a Tony nomination for the role, Tank says he’d been learning from him in person and through his work.”I studied what he did,” he says. “The guy’s nominated for a Tony, that’s a guy you want to take notes from. Some of those character ideas that he embodies — you want to nail some of those things, you want to grab some of those things.””He didn’t put it in a space where it felt competitive. He put it in a space where, it honestly felt like love, man,” adds Tank of Brandon. “It felt like he’s giving me the approval, like, ‘Hey bro, I want you to come in and do an amazing job. And anything that I can do to help you do that, let me know.’ And once it’s in that space and it’s love and it’s welcome to the family, all the competition part of it kind of goes out of the window and in a sense, you just want to make people proud.”On whether he’s going to bring his vocals to the show, Tank says, “I get to act up a little bit. … There were moments where Alicia and [musical supervisor Adam Blackstone] are like, ‘Hey bro, do the thing.'”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Kelly’s the latest to join Chris Brown’s “Residuals” challenge. During a phone call from prison, he referenced his contributions to R&B while questioning where his residuals are from being in the game so long.“Tell me who, who’s getting all my checks? Where is my money? Tell me who, who’s getting paid for my grind? All of that’s supposed to be mine,” sings Kelly, who recently told Inmate Tea with A&P that he’s written 25 albums while imprisoned.He continues, “Who gave you 34 years?

Am I still making you holler?”Tank first issued the “Residuals” challenge in February, telling fans, “I issue you a challenge in honor of @chrisbrownofficial 11:11 being the best R&B album in the world and ‘Residuals’ being the best R&B song in the world! You up for the challenge? I AM #ResidualsVerseChallenge R&B MONEY.”Mario, Jacob Latimore, Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman, LaTocha Scott from Xscape and more have also joined the challenge, and Chris is thankful for all the love.”I just wanna take this time to show my thanks and love for everyone who is doing the residuals challenge,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “I’m glad it’s giving people the opportunity to be seen and heard.

Andre D. WagnerKendrick Lamar and SZA’s Super Bowl halftime performance should not be seen as an indication of what will happen on their Grand National Tour. During a Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, SZA teased that fans should be expecting a whole different approach.“Oh, we’re doing a new thing. We’re both just kind of throwing all the paint at the wall. … This is our first stadium show for both of us, so we pretty much have to go insane,” she said, adding they probably won’t be hanging out much during the trek.“He’s a wizard … wizards tend to be solitary beings, from my observation,” SZA said. “I think he’s doing the Merlin thing backstage, getting us ready to take off.”The Grand National Tour kicks off April 19 in Minneapolis and will see Kendrick and SZA make stops throughout North America, including in Drake’s hometown of Toronto.“Are you worried about that at all?” Kimmel asked, before noting he is “not worried about it.”SZA responded, “I wouldn’t be either. I think it’s gonna be so fun.”SZA’s appearance on Kimmel arrives as “Luther,” her duet with Kendrick, spends another week atop the Billboard Hot 100.The singer had considered going on Club Shay Shay during her promo run, but backed out when she saw a clip of him asking Coco Jones about her BBL.“Lmaooo now why would this be a question for coco,” SZA wrote in the comments section of a clip from the interview. “Poor baby she handled it well now Shay Shay.”“Incredibly tacky .. I wanted to come here too, dah well,” she added.Meanwhile, Kendrick was spotted doing pull-ups at a public park in his native LA.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Monica Schipper/WireImageThe woman who claimed that Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13 years old is heard on a recording agreeing Jay-Z did not assault her and saying her lawyer pushed her to sue Jay-Z.The woman’s lawsuit against Jay-Z and Combs has since been withdrawn with prejudice, meaning it cannot be revived.The recording, an excerpt of which was obtained by ABC News, is between the woman, identified as Jane Doe, and two private investigators associated with Carter.”He was just there, but he didn’t have anything to do with any sexual acts towards you?” the private investigator asked.”Yeah,” Jane Doe replied.Carter’s attorney, Alex Spiro, denies that Jay-Z has ever met Jane Doe.In the recording, the woman is heard telling the investigators that her lawyer, Tony Buzbee, put her up to suing Jay-Z.”He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z,” the woman is heard saying.”Buzbee did?” the investigators asked. “Yeah,” the woman replied.Buzbee called the idea that he pushed her into suing Jay-Z a “blatant lie.””As far as the suggestion that I pushed Jane Doe to bring a case against Jay Z – That is a blatant lie that is directly contrary to all the documentary evidence,” Buzbee said in a statement provided to ABC News.Carter’s attorney said “the tape speaks for itself” and should leave no doubt about his innocence.”She says in no uncertain terms Mr. Carter did not do this. It’s effectively a lie and the only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this is because she was pushed to involve him,” Spiro told ABC News in an exclusive interview.Jane Doe has said, in a sworn declaration, she stands by her claims and dropped her lawsuit because of “fear of intimidation and retaliation from Jay-Z” and his fans.She also denied telling the investigators Buzbee sought her out as a client or that he encouraged her to pursue a false claim against Jay-Z. She said she felt “intimidated and terrified” at being confronted on her doorstep and that the investigators knew her name and address.Spiro said the investigators who approached Jane Doe did not coerce or threaten her.”She voluntarily met, spoke to them and she told them her truth, which was under no circumstances did Mr. Carter do this,” Spiro said.Jay-Z, who has sold more than 140 million albums, is one of the world’s best-selling artists. He is married to Beyoncé and they share three children. His attorney said that this has impacted the Carter family.”It’s tough to hear a false lie said about you, spread through the internet, and affecting your children,” Spiro said. “It’s tough on him. It’s tough on anybody. But what he does is he proves himself innocent. Today is hopefully the final chapter in that. And then they’re gonna move forward. That’s what Jay does.”Carter is now suing Jane Doe and Tony Buzbee for defamation, which they deny.”The truth had to fully come out. This person cannot be allowed to sort of hide from the reality that this was a false accusation,” Spiro said.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Scott Kowalchyk/CBS Kevin Hart’s new Apple TV+ documentary Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Men in Hollywood provides a wealth of information about the industry legends who helped pave the way for Black entertainers. He produced the doc alongside Jamie Foxx with the intention to create a portal he thinks is currently missing.“I mean, listen, you’re talking about information, and I think the one thing that our business lacks is the portal in which that information exists or where it exists, you know? It’s a discovery,” he shares with Extra. “There’s not a volunteering platform that exists where people are saying, ‘Here is where you come to learn, to educate yourself, so that you can go and do better.’””The more that we get people talking about their story, the more that people are able to take tidbits and pieces away and apply it where and how they can,” he continued. “But it comes from information, so this was a moment for us to come together and be very proactive and just simply talking about our journey, talking about our reason, more importantly, talking about the discovery of success after getting to a place of success, and that’s the real school.”Knowing he’s “turning into a vet in our business,” Kevin says he and others now have a responsibility “to try to position those that have next in the best way to exceed what we’ve done and go above and beyond…The business only continues to grow and succeed and reach new levels because of what people are doing and creating underneath.” Number One on the Call Sheet, which saw its New York premiere Monday, will stream March 28 on Apple TV+.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Photo by John Nacion/Getty Images/Stephane Cardinale – Corbis/Corbis via Getty ImagesA complaint filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs has been amended, this time naming Druski and the NFL’s Odell Beckham as defendants. Plaintiff Ashley Parham says they were involved when Diddy assaulted her in 2018.According to the complaint, Parham met Combs’ friend Shane Pearce when he saved her from a fight with another man at a bar. While outside the bar, he FaceTimed Diddy and showed him off to the other patrons, but Parham was not impressed. She stated she believed Diddy “had something to do with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.”Parham claims Diddy heard her remark and said he would make her “pay” for making the statement and dismissing him. She later met him in person while at Pearce’s North Carolina home, where she’d been asked to help him administer his cancer medication. She claims Pearce set up her up, noting he left the door ajar “because there was an issue with the door where it couldn’t close completely.”Parham alleges in the complaint that Diddy entered the home and confronted her, threatening her over the comments she’d made on the FaceTime call. She alleges he raped her with a remote control, before instructing Shane and Druski to rape her as well. Parham contends in the suit she was also raped by a man referred to as Cornelius, which is Beckham’s middle name.Druski has denied the allegations, writing in an Instagram Story, “I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.” Beckham added, “That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid.”Diddy’s lawyers told People he was not around Parham when she was allegedly assaulted. Combs’ team also argued that a sheriff’s office determined Parham’s claims were unfounded.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Disney/Scott Kirkland, Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Image, Disney/Randy HolmesWhen H.E.R.’s song “Fight For You” from Judas and the Black Messiah won the Oscar for best original song in 2021, she credited her win in part to the days she spent listening to artists like Curtis Mayfield. That quote and her knowledge of the singer’s discography have since “paid off,” earning her the title of director of the documentary The Makings of Curtis Mayfield, which is about the impact of his music on artists of this generation.”As I was sitting down with people, the common thing that I recognized the most within the conversations was impact,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “His nickname is ‘a gentle genius,’ and I had no idea what that meant until I was listening to how many people were students of his. … No matter how versed you are in who he is, his presence was so felt and his genius was so felt. People give the credit to Marvin Gaye, and they give some credit to Stevie [Wonder] and there’s a lot of people who spoke politically to Sly [Stone], but [Mayfield] came before a lot of those people.”The Makings of Curtis Mayfield, which premiered at SXSW, features interviews with famous musicians — but not just anyone made the cut. H.E.R. says her focus was on recruiting “people who had a connection” or “visceral reaction” to Curtis, noting her chat with Dr. Dre was “really special.””We were in his space [Dr. Dre’s home studio], and he knew so much about Curtis,” H.E.R. says. “He had these child-like reactions to the music in real time. When people experience Dr. Dre’s love for Curtis in this doc, they get a different Dr. Dre. I think that is so powerful. In that interview, you get to see how he influenced hip hop.”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImageA celebration of Roberta Flack’s life took place Monday at the New York Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, featuring a surprise appearance and performance by Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean.“We weren’t formally asked to do this because I think they were a little shy in asking us to attend,” Hill said, according to Billboard. “So we kind of bum-rushed the service because it really wouldn’t be possible for us to just stand by and not participate.”She continued, “The artistry of Ms. Roberta Flack was beyond trailblazing. … She didn’t just write about the beauty; she was the beauty. She didn’t just write about resistance; her existence was a form of resistance. … Roberta Flack is legend.”Hill performed her rendition of Flack’s “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and, with Jean’s help, sang the Fugees’ hit “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” which samples the Lori Lieberman song Flack helped to popularize.Stevie Wonder played the harmonica during that performance, before singing “If It’s Magic” and “I Can See the Sun,” which he wrote for Flack.“The great thing about not having the ability to see with your eyes is the great opportunity in being able to see even better with your heart,” he said. “So I knew how beautiful Roberta was. … And Roberta, I want to just say to you in spirit, I thank you for letting me hear your voice, letting me know your spirit, letting me know your heart and letting me be able to share with you songs that I was writing.”Phylicia Rashad, Dionne Warwick, Alicia Keys and India.Arie were also in attendance.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Three people in Akron, Ohio, were injured in a shooting at a concert featuring Boosie Badazz. Cleveland 19 News reports off-duty officers working security at the bar called for assistance after hearing gunshots at the Field House Lounge around 2 a.m. Police say the shooting happened soon after a fight broke out. Two of the victims were transported to the hospital and are in critical condition; the third person showed up at an emergency room with a gunshot injury.While teasing his next chapter, Drake seemingly referenced his stance on rap beefs, likely including his own with Kendrick Lamar. Alongside a photo on Instagram, he wrote, “U know I grew up non confrontational and always treated this game as a sport where my pen won gold, but my these days the podium has been hard for all of us to ignore.” He continued, “I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy, but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity that answers some questions especially about the unanswered texts you’ve been sending me.”Doechii shut down industry plant rumors with a little help from Nike. In an ad for the brand, she held a long receipt of her professional accomplishments, noting her best rap album Grammy is one that stands out to her.  “There’s been a lot of nominations, and there’s been a lot of winners, and only three women have won that,” she says. Nike wrote in the caption, “Too official to ever need validating, but we printed Doechii’s receipt to remind you anyway.”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty ImagesWhen the Songwriters Hall of Fame 2025 class was announced in January, Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins was named among the inductees. In an interview with Ebony, he shared that he’s “humbled” by the “amazing” honor.”It’s amazing. I’m humbled. To be mentioned alongside people I look up to—like Michael McDonald in the same year as me—is crazy. It hasn’t fully registered yet. Probably will when I’m actually [at the induction ceremony],” Rodney says. “I’m blessed to have this career, but I never get caught up in just yesterday or today. I keep creating for tomorrow.”Some of his upcoming ventures include an Afrobeats project and music from his Christian hip-hop label, Aliens Alive, which he’s currently focused on. But writing hits like “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica, and Beyoncé’s “Déjà Vu” is what earned him the Hall of Fame induction.Some of Rodney’s songs have even gone on to be sampled by other artists, including Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough,” which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Burna Boy sampled the track on his 2022 hit “Last Last.””I love it, ’cause that’s part of the legacy of it all, right?” Rodney says of his work being sampled. “You had a song that did really well that people admired so much that they’re willing to sample it and put it into a new light.””The Bible says there’s nothing new under the sun anyway, right?” he continued. “Taking something that existed and reimagining it in a new way, I love that. I love that it can happen over and over again. That’s what makes music timeless, right? That’s what makes it keep reaching the masses and the next generation, right? Because there’s a generation that didn’t experience Toni Braxton’s ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough.'”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Lars Niki/Getty ImagesWendy Williams was taken by ambulance from an assisted living facility in Midtown Manhattan to Mount Sinai West hospital on Monday morning, according to sources.Police responded to the assisted living facility in Hudson Yards after the fire department was called for a wellness check, sources said.Two NYPD officers and a sergeant, as per protocol, responded to the assisted living facility in response to a 911 call about a woman in distress, according to a source briefed on the situation. When they arrived, Williams was calm. She was not restrained and was able to get into the ambulance on her own.The episode is being treated as a standard call for service and there is no ongoing NYPD investigation.Nearly a month ago, Williams opened up about her fight for freedom from her yearslong court-ordered guardianship in a phone interview with Nightline.The media personality and former talk show host, who has been in a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, described where she has been living for the past few years.”As I said, because it’s a fact, this is the memory unit. That’s what this floor is called, the memory unit. And it is true that these people who live here don’t remember anything,” she said. “Look, I don’t belong here at all. This is ridiculous.”In February 2024, a press release from Williams and her medical team revealed that Williams was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023.”The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances,” the press release noted.Primary progressive aphasia is “a neurological syndrome in which language capabilities become slowly and progressively impaired,” according to the National Aphasia Association.Dementia is an umbrella term that describes “the impaired ability to remember, think or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Last year, Lifetime explored Williams’ life after her daytime show in Where is Wendy Williams?, a two-night documentary event.The documentary opened the doors to her private life and detailed the health issues she faced.Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

I don’t care what nobody thinks. I literally just want to be in my son’s life.”DDG expressed in the livestream that he doesn’t want Halo to ever say, “‘My pops ain’t around.'” Responding to suggestions he take Halo’s mother, Halle Bailey, to court, he said he wants to avoid something that is “extremely messy and it don’t have to happen.”“I don’t like putting y’all in my business, but I don’t know what else to do,” he added. “But, I know the internet moves people. I just want to see my son, that’s it. I love being a dad and I want to be a dad, plain and simple. I think I’m the first n**** to ever be canceled for wanting to be a dad.”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Disney/Christopher WillardWhile T-Pain is often associated with Auto-Tune, he says it was Snoop Dogg that made its use cool.Speaking to Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast with Shaq, he says there was initially some resistance when he first started using Auto-Tune, until fans heard Snoop take a stab at it.“It was only resistance, until somebody cool did it. Who did that? Who made it cool? Snoop. Snoop did it, and it was totally fine,” T-Pain says. “Everybody was like, okay, I guess we can listen to it.”While T-Pain doesn’t mention Snoop’s song, it’s likely he’s referring to “Sensual Seduction,” on which he actually drew some inspiration from Pain.“So I get the record and I’m like, ‘let me put a little T-Pain on it,’ cause’ they were calling it,” Snoop previously said on Pain’s Nappy Boy Radio. “I want to hear me on top of the T-Pain because I think I can sing and T-Pain would be perfect under me.”In other T-Pain news, he clapped back at accusations he was broke for flying commercial, sharing a video of his yacht to his socials. “I guess I’m broke. Anyways here’s the yacht I’m staying on,” he said; the caption mocked fans who were criticizing him, reading, “yOu dIdNt fLY pRIvaTe???”Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
