Singer Ne-Yo juggles three wives in polyamorous relationship

R&B singer Ne-Yo, who dominated the charts in the late 2000s with hits like 'Closer' and 'Sexy Love,' may no longer be the music industry powerhouse he once was, but at 45 years old, he keeps himself busy with an unconventional personal life.
The singer is currently juggling three women he refers to as his wives. While not legally married, Ne-Yo proudly embraces a polyamorous lifestyle, with his trio of partners all calling him 'daddy.'
Ne-Yo's primary partner is OnlyFans model Bella, known on social media as 'Daddy's Pretty Baby.' The other women in the group are Phoenix Feather, another OnlyFans model, and party girl Arielle Hill. The group is open about their lifestyle and frequently shares their adventures on social media, whether it's partying at nightclubs or attending pool parties. They often accompany Ne-Yo on his tours, traveling with him across the globe, from Dubai to Brisbane.

Despite receiving backlash from some fans, Phoenix Feather defended their relationship on Instagram, explaining that although their setup may be misunderstood by many, their bond is strong and built on mutual understanding. She emphasized that the group's dynamic works for them, and they stand united against external judgment.
Ne-Yo, a divorced father-of-seven, publicly addressed his polyamorous lifestyle in an interview with TMZ, expressing support for legalizing polygamy. He stated that people should be free to make their own choices without government interference, but he also acknowledged that polyamory isn't for everyone. Ne-Yo emphasized that what works for him might not work for others.
Ne-Yo's personal life has been marked by several relationships, including his previous marriage to Crystal Renay, which ended in divorce in 2023. The couple shares three children together.

Weston Gosa Sr underfire after Whitney Purvis misses her late son's funeral

Former 16 and Pregnant star Whitney Purvis was reportedly turned away from her 16-year-old son Weston's funeral earlier this month after arriving late and not being listed among the invited guests. Purvis' son, whom she shared with ex-husband Weston Lewis Gosa, died on June 2 in Gordon County, Georgia. An official cause of death has not yet been released. The private funeral took place shortly after, but a reported miscommunication led to Purvis missing the ceremony and being denied access. According to TMZ, Purvis arrived at the funeral home around 4 p.m. — the time she says she was told the service would begin. However, the ceremony had already concluded two hours earlier, and her name was reportedly not on the guest list provided to organisers. Sources close to the former reality TV personality believe her ex-partner was behind the confusion, though Gosa denies any wrongdoing. Speaking to US outlets, Gosa insisted that he informed Purvis of the correct timing well in advance, claiming he told her the viewing began at 2 p.m., followed by the service at 4 p.m. He also alleged that Purvis did not arrive until 4:15 p.m., at which point the chapel doors had been locked. He further stated that her mother, aunt, and uncle were admitted earlier, having shown up at the scheduled time.

He countered her claims by reportedly sending her a photograph showing that her name was, in fact, on the list. The service for Weston was held privately 'due to the nature and circumstances of this tragic loss,' according to family statements. Gosa and his current wife have since purchased a separate urn so that Purvis may have a portion of her son's ashes. Purvis, who rose to fame in 2009 on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, later lost custody of both Weston and her younger son, River, reportedly following a 2024 arrest over unpaid child support. Gosa has had his own legal troubles in recent years, with charges including driving on a suspended licence and property damage.

DDG fires back at critic during Father's Day post amid custody battle with Halle Bailey

Rapper DDG responded to online backlash over a Father's Day tweet, amid his ongoing legal conflict with singer and actress Halle Bailey regarding their son, Halo Saint. On June 15, DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) tweeted, 'Happy Father's Day to all the active dads worldwide.' A pop culture page, Pop Tingz, sarcastically quoted the post with, 'So not you?' DDG fired back, calling the critic 'irrelevant,' adding, 'I can cashapp you the worth of this page… I support the LGBT community.' The exchange sparked mixed reactions online, with some siding with Pop Tingz and criticizing DDG's response. The rapper and Bailey, who began dating in 2022 and welcomed their son in December 2023, announced their separation in 2024 and have since been embroiled in multiple legal disputes over parenting rights. Earlier this year, Bailey filed for a restraining order, alleging that DDG's behavior—such as false accusations and inflammatory livestreams—had led to online harassment. According to TMZ, she claimed his actions posed an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk' to their child. A Los Angeles court granted her a 100-day restraining order in May. In June 2025, DDG filed for his own restraining order, also requesting the court prevent Bailey from taking their son abroad, specifically to Italy. He alleged that her emotional instability could negatively impact Halo. According to Hot New Hip Hop, the court granted a partial protective order to DDG but found insufficient evidence to block Bailey's travel or custody rights. The order includes measures to prevent emotional abuse and permits third-party mediation in custody arrangements.

50 Cent edits Father's Day post after referencing custody battle with ex Daphne Joy

On Sunday, June 15, rapper 50 Cent posted a controversial Father's Day message on Instagram that appeared to reference his ongoing custody battle with ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy. Initially, the caption included a derogatory message suggesting he would soon gain full custody of their son, Sire Jackson. However, the original caption was quickly edited, with screenshots of the unedited version circulating on X via Akademiks TV. 50 Cent responds to his son saying he wants 50 to post a photo of them for Fathers Day — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) June 15, 2025 50 Cent speaks — Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) June 15, 2025 The updated caption read simply, 'Happy Fathers Day guys. What did you get?'—a notable change from the harsher original message, which included repeated insults. Many online users criticized the tone of the deleted post, while others speculated it was directed at Joy, a social media personality and OnlyFans model whom 50 Cent dated in 2011–2012. This year's Father's Day post reignited public attention on the pair's strained relationship. In March 2024, 50 Cent—born Curtis Jackson—filed for sole custody of their son, following allegations that Joy was financially involved with music mogul Diddy. Shortly after the filing, Joy accused Jackson of rape and abuse in an emotional Instagram story, stating that he had rarely seen their son despite living nearby. 'You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family,' Joy wrote, also accusing him of 'wreaking havoc' in her life. In response, Jackson filed a defamation suit, though it was reportedly dropped in September 2024.
