Summer Walker is now a mother of three, as she took to Instagram to announce the birth of her twins. “I’m so proud of myself,” she wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “Just sharing to inspire other women, cause I know once you carry twins to almost 42 weeks, especially with one breech, people will try to steer you towards induction or C-section. You can do it, this was my second home birth all natural 7 hrs, no tearing & I couldn’t of done it without my spirit guides, Godparents, birth team, my elders, & the best dad doula ever Larry lol, he was so hands on the whole time I was really impressed it wasn’t easy but it gets done,” she continued.
“Both births I almost blacked out at the end but eating your placenta will definitely keep you above water I have thin blood so I always end up going to the hospital to bring myself back into good strength for them but as long as my kids stay at home untouched I’m good.” The two newborns are Walker’s second and third children, and the first she and her ex-boyfriend Larry welcomed into the world. Back in March 2021, Summer and her ex, London on da Track welcomed their first child together.
Congratulations to Summer Walker.

Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has fired shots back at Nasty C in a new diss track. This after Nasty C laid his heart bare in his single “No Big Deal” in November, where he spoke about his long-standing beef with A-Reece and why he has never worked with Sarkodie. In the first verse, Nasty C claimed Sarkodie wouldn’t shake his hand when they first met, so he vowed not to work with him. The Ghanaian star apparently sent two requests for a verse on a song but Nasty C declined. “I was just a disappointed fan it’s nothing more or less. But now I’m over that sh*t and he’s got all my respect. If he asks me for a verse again it’ll be my hardest one yet.”
Sarkodie recently responded to Nasty C’s claims in a track titled “Landlord” saying he never reached out to him for work but had no qualms about the rapper. “I ain’t gotta (have to) shake your hand so you can walk out. And so you know it’s not me, you fighting your own ego maybe a couple of things you gotta sort out. See, I ain’t got no pride to reach out to nobody. I love that n**ga, your ego is so baggy. Don’t get it twisted I’m still a fan But don’t you get carried away. I’m still the man. I never reached out hommie but I know what you doing, such a smart ass touching the god is part of the plan,” he rapped on the track.

NBA star Dejounte Murray and model Jania Meshell are expecting a baby girl. Meshell announced the exciting news with a stunning maternity photo on Tuesday, January 3. “We’re patiently waiting on our little Princess Murray,” the soon-to-be mom captioned a black-and-white photo of herself caressing her growing baby bump. She went on to share that they are expecting their daughter in April 2023.
The social media announcement perfectly coincided with the pair’s gender reveal event, which Meshell shared footage of in her Instagram Story. At the fun-filled event, Murray seemed to be in good spirits as he rocked a custom “Daddy” t-shirt and jointly popped a gender balloon that rained pink confetti.
Congratulations to the duo!

New Balance begins the new year with a special edition boot for one of football’s rising stars. The brand unveiled a limited edition pair of Furon v7s for Arsenal and England superstar Bukayo Saka, with the heart of the design paying tribute to the winger’s connection with West London.
In vibrant red, Saka’s Furon v7 Signature Edition is a tribute to the area he grew up in and how that has helped shape the person he is today. A decorative baroque oak leaf print adorns the upper of both boots, inspired by the Ealing coat of arms. The words ‘Unity’ and Progress’ feature in striking silver hues, which sparkles against the red colorway. Saka’s love of his home in West London is once again signified on the insole, which has a unique key to the city graphic motif. Summer Walker Twins
Speaking about the inspiration behind the boot design, Saka said: “I am so proud to have grown up in Ealing. Everyone from West knows what it means to represent our side of London, it’s a special feeling. It feels unreal to have a boot that so many people will be able to relate to, it truly is a dream come true.”
