He has already paid $5.6 million with interest. A second verdict of $83.3 million is still pending. On Monday the US Supreme Court refused for a second time to take up Donald Trump's challenge to the E. Jean Carroll verdict. The order was one sentence long, with no explanation and no noted dissents. It ends a case that began in 2019, when Carroll went public with the claim that Trump had assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s and he called it a hoax. A civil jury decided in May 2023 that Trump was liable for sexually abusing and defaming her and awarded $5 million. The same jury did not find that he had raped her; under New York law those are separate findings, and the judge later wrote that what the jury did find would be called rape in ordinary speech but not under the statute. This was a civil case, so there is no conviction and no criminal record. Trump has already paid $5.6 million with interest. A second verdict, $83.3 million for defamation i...

Soulja Boy put a real phone number in one of his biggest hits, and millions of fans actually called it. In 2008, his track “Kiss Me Thru the Phone” featured a working number directly in the chorus. It wasn’t a fake line for the song—fans who dialed it reached a promotional line connected straight to Soulja Boy. As the song climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, the line exploded. Soulja Boy later claimed the phone number became so popular it was pulling in around $100,000 a month at its peak. Instead of just writing a catchy hook, he turned his lyrics into an interactive business model. For an artist who built his early career on the internet, it was another example of Soulja Boy mastering viral marketing long before everyone else.

Before Davido became one of Africa’s biggest music stars and before Ademola Adeleke became Osun State governor, there was an Adeleke family story that began generations earlier.

Rene Nichole Coleman, 50, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, was reportedly paid far more than she should have received because of a payroll system error. On May 10, 2025, Coleman worked a 12-hour shift at a Jonesboro-area business. Her normal pay was $16.50 an hour, but a payroll mistake entered her hourly rate as $1,650 instead. The error resulted in Coleman receiving an extra $19,388 in pay. The amount was originally reported differently in some accounts, but the correct overpayment was $19,388. After the company discovered the mistake, Coleman was asked to return the money. According to police records, she refused to give it back. The CEO of the business later reported the matter to police. The company provided financial records and emails as evidence showing the payroll error and its attempts to recover the money. Coleman was eventually charged with felony theft involving property valued between $5,000 and $25,000. She was arrested in April 2026 on an outstanding warrant. Her bond w...

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has ruthlessly mocked Arsenal fans who got carried away by the prospect of signing Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior, after the Brazilian committed his future to the Spanish giants with a bumper new deal 💰🤑 The Gunners opportunistically targeted the 26-year-old forward while he was locked in lengthy contract talks with Real Madrid, and were prepared to make him the highest-paid player in Premier League history if he agreed to the move. Arsenal fans were bouncing off the walls at the prospect of luring Vinicius Junior away from Madrid, in a move that would have been viewed as one of the most seismic transfers in modern English football history. Even Mikel Arteta admitted he was 'absolutely smitten' with the idea of signing him after the prospective move was approved 'at all levels' at the Emirates. Ultimately, to Arsenal's disappointment, the Brazilian international penned a new six-year deal at the Bernabeu to co...
