50 Cent Gets Temporary Restraining Order Against Tia Kemp to Protect His 14-Year-Old Son

A Miami-Dade County judge granted a temporary restraining order on October 26, 2026, sought by 50 Cent—whose legal name is Curtis Jackson—on behalf of his 14-year-old son, Sire. Tia Kemp, the mother of Rick Ross’s son, is barred from coming within 150 meters of Sire or contacting him, including through social media; she must also surrender any firearms and ammunition to law enforcement. Jackson alleges that Kemp repeatedly targeted him online, causing his son humiliation and emotional distress. The order expires on November 3, when both parties are due in court; the dispute escalated after 50 Cent publicly mocked reports of an assault involving William Roberts III, Kemp and Rick Ross’s son.

Court Sacks Uzodinma as APC Senatorial Candidate for Imo West

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday nullified Governor Hope Uzodinma’s nomination as the APC candidate for the Imo West Senate seat, with the election scheduled for January 16, 2027. Justice Obiora Egwuatu ruled that evidence from the May 18 primary, monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), showed former governor Rochas Okorocha had received the most votes. The court ordered INEC to recognise Okorocha and publish his name as the APC’s valid candidate. It also barred Uzodinma from presenting himself as the party’s candidate in the election.

Jessica’s Phone Under DSC Scrutiny: Bad News for the “Panama City” Group

The Special Cybersecurity Division is analyzing the phone of Kh. Kébé, known as “Jessica,” on the orders of the Pikine-Guédiawaye prosecutor’s office as part of the investigation into the “Panama City” group. S. Manga, who uses the name “Anita,” says Jessica added her to the group, where she met A. Thiam, a man living in France; an intimate video filmed at his home was later posted online. Jessica says the group was used to share links to her TikTok videos with her moderators, while investigators are examining whether it instead connected men and women to obtain intimate videos for possible blackmail. The blackmail suspicions have not been established, and investigators hope phone data will clarify the group’s activities and how the video was leaked.
