The singer, 31, and the rapper, 43, are also proud dads, with Dolla $ign (real name Tyrone William Griffin Jr.) exclusively revealing to Us Weekly the best advice he ever gave Bieber about fatherhood.
Calling the Swag II artist a “great father” to son Jack Blues, 13 months, whom Justin shares with wife Hailey Bieber, Dolla $ign said, “I’m proud of him, you know, if anything, I probably just told him to be there as much as you can. That’s all you can do.”
“You know, be an example, and I think I’ve been a good example,” he explained, reflecting on his own relationship with his daughter, Jailynn Griffin, 20.
“Everything that I say I’m going to do, I try to live by that. Get it done, and my daughter’s the same way. 20 years old, already getting her master’s degree. She’s at Pepperdine University,” the musician gushed, adding that Jailynn is studying business.

The two famous dads reunited on Tuesday, October 14, in Downtown Los Angeles at The League Group’s indoor annual soccer game, where Justin played with the team he owns, Team Skylrk. He also turned the name into a clothing brand.
Us was there to witness the Grammy winner score a goal at the Ron Abaekobe-run event, although it landed in the basketball hoop on the court they were playing on. Justin’s score still counted and helped bring Team Skylrk to victory.
They won 6-1, but Hailey, 28, was not there to see her husband’s win. Justin arrived at the game without his wife or son, and he quickly left following the triumph.
Dolla $ign stuck around to watch additional games and gave fans a preview of his upcoming album, Tycoon, with a surprise listening party.
The “Toot It and Boot It” artist teased what listeners can expect from the record, out on Friday, October 17, telling Us that it’s “one of my best pieces of work.”
“I’m just trying to inspire people to step into their greatness,” Dolla $ign said at the event. “Like, my first job was at Subway, right? But I just felt like I was better than that, and I believed in myself. It was people that told me, ‘Yo, music is a hobby you need to, you know, get a real job, support your daughter.’ And I stuck to my guns, and here I am today.”
He also shared the inspiration behind Tycoon, which is meant to deliver the message about “stepping into your greatness” and “believing in yourself.”

While Dolla $ign has no problem sharing aspects of his daughter’s life, Justin and Hailey keep Jack tight to their chest.
“Until your child can understand it and it’s possible to have conversation around it, I have no interest in putting him out there in any way,” Hailey told The Wall Street Journal earlier this month.
She also revealed how motherhood has changed her for the better.
“I like who I am so much more now than I did before I had my son,” she said. “You gain this silent strength and confidence. You can’t tell me the same s*** that you could tell me before. You’re not f***ing with me after I pushed a human out of my body.”
“I am dating someone, yeah,” Arroyave, 48, shared on the Tuesday, October 14, episode of iHeartRadio’s “The Ed’s” podcast. “It’s pretty serious.”
While Arroyave didn’t share further details about the mystery woman in his life, guest Joe Gorga joked that he should take his date to Las Vegas for a night of comedy when he performs at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club during BravoCon in November.
“I’ll put you in the front row for the show,” Gorga, 51, said.
“OK, front row, you got me. Now you’re speaking my language with front row,” Arroyave joked while laughing. “Maybe I will take her to Vegas. I was actually thinking about that.”
The former couple continue to coparent their three children together: Slate, 13, Cruz, 11, and Dove, 5. Arroyave also has a daughter from a previous relationship, 15-year-old Bella.

Arroyave’s relationship with his estranged wife changed even more when she revealed in February that she was battling stage IV melanoma, which metastasized to her lungs and brain.
“It’s been a crazy year for us,” Arroyave reflected in his latest podcast with cohost Eddie Judge. “First came the separation. Then we found out about the cancer about five months after that. The cancer came, and we put a stop to [our divorce] until we figured that part out. Her health comes first.”
Arroyave said he still lives with Mellencamp “90 percent of the time,” partly to make sure that “she’s taken care of and the kids are taken care of. And then I go back at the end of the night to my other house.”
“We’re going through it,” he added. “But we just got some great news last week.”
The support has not gone unnoticed by Mellencamp, who has also started dating since filing for divorce.
In an UsWeekly cover story this past April, the reality star thanked her estranged husband for all of his support during a challenging time in her life.
“I’m really lucky that Edwin, who I was in the middle of a divorce from, we put everything on hold. [It] wasn’t really the time to be fighting over emails,” she said. “He’s been extremely kind and helping with the kids. That’s made things a lot easier.”
Mellencamp continued, “He’s been there for me a hundred percent, he’s been there for the kids, and we’re back to laughing. We call it the ‘Divorce Chronicles.’ And I want to talk [to him] about the kind of girls [he’s] going to marry … because if these people are going to take care of my kids, this is what I want, and this is the definition of what I don’t want.”

Selma Blair’s lifelong health struggles were signs of multiple sclerosis that doctors wouldn’t acknowledge until she was in her 40s.
“I was diagnosed with relapsing limiting MS in 2018. It turned out I probably had juvenile MS as my first optical neuritis was when I was about seven, which left me with a lazy eye from nerve damage,” Blair, 53, said at the Flow Space Women’s Health Summit earlier this month. “But there were a lot of things missed my whole life.”
“I had CAT scans as a kid, and I had doctor visits, and I stayed in hospitals for weeks at a time,” Blair recalled. “I’d have fevers, I have pain, endless, bone crushing fatigue that I still do have. And my mom would say, why can’t you give her an MRI? And they’re like, ‘Oh, she doesn’t need it. She’s probably getting her period.’”
She added: “But then a boy would come in from my class who had a headache and they gave him an MRI the first thing. Now, they’re not wrong for doing that for him, but it’s like, What? Because I appeared OK, even though I had headaches all the time.”
The actress considered her diagnosis a relief after unexplained health issues often dismissed by medical professionals when she was younger as “growing pains.” Blair first revealed in 2018 that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She took a brief hiatus amid treatment and later returned to acting while also continuing to speak out about her health journey.
“I just put it on my Instagram to thank people on a set that were helping me stay at my job, because I couldn’t use my hands well, I couldn’t take my clothes off. I still sometimes struggle with dystonia and speech and movement, even though I’m relapse free right now,” Blair explained at the October event. “But when I did post I saw that there was a whole world that was that felt seen or a part of being seen or could relate to someone having chronic health issues.”
Blair has been thrilled about how her story has brought a community together, adding, “I realized that was a comfort to a lot of people. And there weren’t a lot of resources out about MS at the time.”
“There was so much I needed to learn,” she continued. “I’m still learning as I live with it, but I did see that it was much bigger than me. And then it had a point to me to sharing. It felt good. It felt good knowing people were feeling some comfort.”
Since being in remission, Blair has continued to shine a light on how she’s making progress.
“So a lot of people have been asking me how I am doing so great and my movement is so much different, and I really am excited,” Blair exclusively stated in a video for Us Weekly in August 2024. “I want to let people know that — I’m still in remission, I’m feeling great — after the bone marrow transplant, I actually fell into a major relapse.”
She explained that a recent MRI “lit up flare” and showed her “new lesions,” after which a doctor suggested she try out a new kind of therapy.
“It was just tablets. So I took that, a couple short series of tablets, and in two years your therapy is done. It’s called Mavenclad,” Blair told Us. “It’s been amazing and it helped my movement and speech so much, and it’s allowed me to have a great summer, great years. I need you all to know. Bye.”
“When you have kids, it’s definitely harder to leave than it is to stay,” Kardashian, 44, said during the podcast episode, released on Wednesday, October 15. “It changes everyone’s life, forever.”
Kardashian married West in 2014 and they welcomed four kids, North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, during their marriage. The reality star filed for divorce in 2021 and their split was finalized the following year.
Kardashian admitted that “maybe” she “wasn’t paying attention” to any negative signs in her marriage but the split wasn’t an easy decision.
“When someone has their first mental break, you want to be super supportive and you want to help figure that out,” she said. “When someone isn’t willing to make changes that, I think, would be super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.”
Initially, Kardashian said she wanted to “believe that for a little bit” things would get better but her kids helped make the final decision to leave.
Call Her Daddy
“Ince my mental health starts to get affected and then I can’t parent the way that I need to and I can’t be present and focused. There’s got to be one of us that can,” Kardashian explained. “I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone.”
Aside from the conversation about her split from West, the reality star also had some fun during her “Call Her Daddy” appearance. Keep scrolling for the biggest revelations:
Those Diamond Earrings
Everyone’s heard the line: “Kim, there are people that are dying.” But Kardashian offered some insight into why her diamond earrings at the bottom of the ocean were actually a big deal.
“That was one of my first biggest purchases, so they weren’t insured yet,” she explained. “That’s why I was so upset, is because that would be money down the drain. If I insured them, then I can just claim them, and then I could have gotten my money back, but I hadn’t insured them. I got them that week.”
Plastic Surgery Rumors
Kardashian set the record straight on her May 2021 Met Gala look — and, no, her face wasn’t covered in the all-black Balenciaga outfit to hide any facelift surgery scars.
“That’s insane,” Kardashian said. “I would absolutely love to show it off if I did, but no I didn’t.”
Call Her Daddy
Those Travis Barker Rumors
Kardashian addressed rumors that she hooked up with Barker before he was married to her sister Kourtney Kardashian. (Barker gushed about how hot Kim was in his 2015 book, Can I Say.)
“I never have,” Kim explained, “That really sucks that that has gone on, but he dated Paris [Hilton] and we were all friends and we’d all hang out.”
Craziest Sex Story
While she didn’t share with whom, Kardashian did say she once had sex in a movie theater.
“We had lots of different mixed emotions,” she said. “We’re learning this all for the first time and then we wanna be supportive for our little sisters, trying to be supportive for my mom that’s now getting a divorce and making sure we don’t say anything super offensive.”
Kardashian added, “We didn’t really know anything so we just had to kind of figure it out and we did it all on camera.”
The Kanye of It All
Kardashian admitted that she was “really dissociated” during her marriage to the rapper.
“There were so many times where I was just really quiet and just trying to figure it all out,” she said, noting that the “extra pressure” of being in a public relationship made it more difficult to navigate.
“An over a decade relationship with four beautiful children is not a failure,” Kardashian continued. “You can’t think that way. You can’t live that way. You can’t worry about what everyone’s going to say and I have to come home to myself and I have to be happy.”
This is the longest Kardashian has ever been single and she’s feeling “totally content” with her relationship status.
“I have my kids to raise, I have a life that requires a lot of my attention and my kids just really need me right now,” she explained. “I don’t know how I would fit something else in. So I’m just not looking and it would have to be someone super special for me.”
Debunking the Kardashian Curse
As the rumor goes, any man who dates a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family has a fall from grace. However, Kim doesn’t see it that way.
“I always really hated that,” she said. “I think it’s really unfair to say that women are the problem when it comes to issues that our exes might be dealing with — and that they had those issues before.”
ANTANANARIVO-(MaraviPost)-Military coup leader in Madagascar Michael Randrianirina has announced that he is assuming the role of president, citing an invitation from the country’s High Constitutional Court.
According to reports, Randrianirina’s elite Capsat unit joined forces with anti-government protesters on Saturday, prompting Rajoelina to abandon his post.
The unit’s defection marked a significant turning point in the weeks-long protests, which were initially sparked by grievances over basic services such as electricity and water.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Randrianirina expressed his intention to be sworn in as the new president soon.
“There must be an oath-taking” to formalize his position, he said.
The colonel also announced plans to appoint a new prime minister who would form a government, although no timeline has been given.
Rajoelina, who has been president since 2018, has condemned the takeover as an “illegal coup attempt by a rebel faction.”
His departure comes after weeks of protests led by young people, who were joined by civic groups and trade unions.
The demonstrations, which began over issues such as power outages and water shortages, have snowballed into a broader movement demanding accountability and political change.
The protests have been marked by violence, with at least 22 people killed and dozens injured, according to the United Nations.
The African Union has convened an emergency meeting of its security council, but no significant response has been forthcoming.
As the situation in Madagascar continues to unfold, concerns are growing about the country’s stability and future.
Randrianirina’s assumption of power has sparked debate, with some analysts criticizing the military’s involvement in politics.
“This is a civil society uprising, and its resolution should not involve the military,” said Olufemi Taiwo, professor of Africana studies at Cornell University.
The international community’s response will be crucial in determining Madagascar’s trajectory.
Meanwhile, the people of Madagascar wait with bated breath, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
