Nicki Minaj is taking aim at Kathy Hochul, branding the New York governor an "evil woman" and urging voters to reject her in favor of Republican Bruce Blakeman ahead of the Nov. 3 gubernatorial election.

Minaj unleashed a series of posts on X Wednesday, accusing Hochul of failing to speak out against what the rapper described as harm to innocent people and calling on Black voters and Christians to turn against the governor.

"Kathy Hochul is an evil woman. The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them. Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance," Minaj wrote.

The "Super Bass" singer also delivered an all-caps response to a video she reposted featuring Hochul’s controversial 2024 remark that there were "Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is." Hochul apologized for the remark at the time, saying she "misspoke, and I regret it."

"How much more do you need to see & hear from them?!! How dare you as black people vote for this vile wicked curse of a woman? How dare you as Christians?! She stays silent on harm being caused to the innocent & this is what she thinks of your children! Vote Blakeman!" she posted.

Minaj also reposted a video of Hochul joking about liquor store visits while promoting her inflation rebate initiative to a predominantly Black congregation at True Bethel Baptist Church in 2025.

"Don't stop by the liquor store, OK? Buy something for the kids. Buy them some food. Sometimes I have to stop by the liquor store, too. I understand," Hochul said.

"So not only does she keep horrible company & laugh at the demonic things her friends do behind the scenes to people who aren't as politically powerful…Dear God, help us," Minaj wrote in response. 

The church's bishop defended Hochul's comments at the time, saying they were made "in [the] context" of his sermon that day.

Hochul pushed back against Minaj's criticism during a recent campaign appearance.

When asked about Minaj's comments during a campaign stop, the governor suggested the rapper's appearances with Trump had influenced her views.

"I don’t play games in this business. This is serious," the governor said. "You can ask her what she's been, how she's been poisoned by Donald Trump," Hochul said.

"After Donald Trump and MAGA world has vanished, and they go back into their dark holes where they came from, hopefully we can have a reawakening, and people like her and others will realize that they were fed a vision of this country that is not what Americans feel. And, so, being an outlier right now, that’s her choice."

When Hochul was asked whether she would welcome Cardi B's endorsement, the governor dismissed the suggestion that the exchange was a celebrity rivalry.

Some social media users praised Hochul's response, arguing that voters should focus on her record rather than the opinions of celebrities.

"Exactly, that’s how you are supposed to answer," one user wrote.

"Great response! This is no time for games. Forget what these celebs have to say. Vote for the rights of you and your loved ones," another commented.

A third added, "Decent response. Constituents should focus on the resume of said elected official and not that of any 'celebrity.'"

Other social media users appeared to side with Minaj.

"All she plays are games dangerous ones at that protecting criminal illegal aliens. The woman had destroyed New York State. Vote @NassauExec & save New York," one user commented.

"She doesn't play games.. unless it's with out lives. Nicki got it 100% correct: @KathyHochul is a VILE WICKED CURSE OF A WOMAN," another wrote.

"You just told a large percentage of your constituents they need to go back to the "dark hole they came from"… which party is causing the divide again?" added another.

Fox News Digital reached out to Minaj and Hochul for comment.

The exchange comes as Minaj has publicly supported Trump and appeared alongside him at campaign events for Republican candidates.

At a Republican campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, Sunday, Oct. 25, Trump invited Minaj onstage as he campaigned for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers and gubernatorial candidate John James.

The rapper used the appearance to reaffirm her support for Trump, saying she would back him again if he sought another term.

"President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time," Minaj said. "And I will continue to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again."

John Mellencamp isn't ready to give up the stage, even if his hearing continues to deteriorate.

The 75-year-old rock icon revealed he could be "totally deaf" by the time his upcoming tour ends, as he opened up about his worsening hearing and tinnitus during an appearance on the "Nepo, Baby!" podcast.

"I don't like going out 'cause I can't hear," Mellencamp said when asked about his hearing difficulties.

JOHN MELLENCAMP SHARES HIS UNCONVENTIONAL ADVICE TO HIS CHILDREN ABOUT WORK

The "Jack & Diane" singer acknowledged that years of exposure to loud rock music may have taken a toll, explaining that he experiences ringing in his ears and pulsatile tinnitus, a condition that causes him to hear his heartbeat.

"I mean, it's like right now my ears are ringing like crazy, and I have pulsatile tinnitus, which is, I hear my heartbeat. And we go into a restaurant, and it's just like, 'Well, I'm out,' because I can't hear anything because I hear all this noise and stuff. I'm sure people don't want to keep [repeating things] in my face … so just add tinnitus on top of that and it's impossible."

Pulsatile tinnitus is a rare form of tinnitus that causes people to hear sounds, such as whooshing or thumping, in time with their heartbeat, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Despite his hearing difficulties, Mellencamp said he plans to continue performing.

When asked whether he planned to keep touring, the musician predicted he could lose his hearing entirely by the time the concerts ended.

"Yeah, I probably will be totally deaf by the time the tour is over. Yeah, but you know, I wear earplugs and stuff, but I do not ever, will I ever get hearing aids."

Mellencamp also explained why he had refused to wear hearing aids, recalling advice from his grandmother that has stayed with him.

"Well, my grandmother told me, she said, 'John, don't ever get hearing aids because once you get them, you can't live without them.' So, she said, 'If you think chasing around a pair of glasses is a drag, wait 'til you start chasing around a pair of glasses and some hearing aids. And where's your wallet? Where's your car keys?'"

Fox News Digital has reached out to Mellencamp for comment.

Mellencamp has also previously used his concerts to criticize President Donald Trump.

During a July 2026 performance in Holmdel, New Jersey, he paused his performance of "Pink Houses" to mock Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to use the name Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico.

Released in 1983, "Pink Houses" became one of Mellencamp's signature hits, peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Though often embraced as a patriotic anthem, the song offers a more complicated look at the American dream, exploring themes of class, inequality and the gap between national ideals and everyday realities.

In an era of Auto-Tune, artificial intelligence and endless opportunities to make music sound perfect, Terri Clark decided to leave well enough alone.

The country music legend released a new live album Friday, Oct. 30, capturing her long-awaited headlining debut at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. But rather than return to the studio to clean up the performance, Clark was determined to preserve the night exactly as it happened — imperfections and all.

And that wasn't necessarily an easy task.

"We didn't even have the proper audience mics," Clark told OutKick OutDoors in an exclusive interview. "The audience was twice as loud as it sounds on this recording."

That's because the August 2024 performance wasn't originally intended to become a live album. In fact, it wasn't until roughly a year later that Clark and her team decided to piece together recordings captured by her concert engineers.

But she wasn't interested in making the show sound like something it wasn't.

"I decided that I didn't want to replace any vocals. I didn't want to replay anything," Clark said. "In a world of AI and tracks and Auto-Tune and all of the things that people do to sound perfect, I let the recording lie the way it was and stay exactly as it went down that night."

She concluded: "It's passion over perfection."

A ‘full-circle moment’ for Terri Clark

On Aug. 29, 2024, Clark finally checked off a lifelong bucket-list item when she headlined the Ryman Auditorium for the first time.

For the singer who once performed for tips at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, just across the alley from the iconic venue, it was a particularly meaningful milestone.

"This was a full-circle moment," she said.

And even with more than three decades of performing under her belt, Clark wasn't prepared for the reception she received that evening.

"They came from all over the place, all corners of the world, and Canada, and fans from out west in the United States," she recalled.

"It was a room full of so much love, and we shared just a moment that I almost never want to headline the Ryman again because it'll never come close to that show, if that makes any sense."

TERRI CLARK APPLAUDS ELLA LANGLEY'S HISTORIC RISE BUT SAYS SHE 'WOULD NOT WANT TO TRADE PLACES WITH HER'

The 17-track album, Terri Clark: Live From The Ryman, includes performances of her hits "Better Things to Do," "Girls Lie Too" and "I Wanna Do It All," along with appearances by Ashley McBryde and Trisha Yearwood. McBryde joined Clark for "Better Things to Do," while Yearwood performed "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me."

Clark said the evening's excitement is exactly why she refused to go back and polish the recording.

"I don't think I could duplicate the energy and excitement in my voice that night if I went in and redid anything," she said.

Kim Kardashian has undergone surgery to have irregularities removed from her esophagus, she revealed on her family's show, "The Kardashians."

In Thursday’s episode, the 46-year-old reality star said she had been feeling a bit sluggish, but first assumed it was just because she'd been busy.

"I’ve been feeling a little off lately. My throat is like killing me today," she said in a confessional.

Early in the episode, a doctor told her that she appeared to have inflammation of the esophagus, and noted that she could have esophagitis.

She admitted in a confessional, "So, I’ve seen a couple of doctors, and it’s been heavy on my mind lately."

The doctor suggested taking a round of medicine, then coming in for a procedure so he could get a better look at what was wrong and then determine if they needed to take further action.

"I haven’t really told too many people about this just because I think it’s, you know, something that really hits home for me, and I just don’t really want to go there with my dad having passed away from esophagus cancer," she admitted to the camera. "Hopefully I can just take medication, and this will go away, but I just don’t know what’s going to happen."

Robert Kardashian died of esophageal cancer in 2003.

"I have something called esophagitis," she told a producer while getting her makeup done. "Didn’t your father, isn’t that what he died of?" the person asked. 

She confirmed that it was.

Kim Kardashian's life is explored in a new book chronicling her meteoric rise to fame.

In the new book, "Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future," writer Jonathan Van Meter dove deep into the lives of the Kardashians, particularly Kim, and how she built her empire outside of reality TV.

Through a series of interviews with members of the Kardashian family, including Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, as well as those close to the famous family, Van Meter discusses the biggest moments in her life, including her relationship with Kanye, the terrifying Paris robbery, her mother's affair and her prison reform and advocacy work.

Here are some of the biggest headlines from the book.

Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links.

White House warnings

In October 2017, Kim saw a video of Alice Marie Johnson in prison, in which she was pleading for clemency.

She opened up in the book about how the video "changed my life," saying she immediately reached out to Shawn Holley, who was a lawyer on O.J. Simpson's defense team, asking "What can we do?"

After learning the only way to get Johnson out of prison was a presidential pardon, Kim reached out to Ivanka Trump, who put her in touch with Jared Kushner. Kushner helped set up a meeting between Kardashian and President Trump, a move that raised concerns on both sides about the "optics," according to the book.

"Everyone was telling me, ‘Don’t go, your career will be over; you can’t step foot in there.’ And I was like, ‘It’s my reputation over someone’s life?’ Weigh that out," Kim said in the book. "People talk s--- about me all day long. It will just be another story about me versus someone getting their life back."

A week after the meeting with President Trump, Kim was able to call Johnson and personally deliver the news that she had been granted clemency.

"She started screaming on the phone. I was on the set of a Steven Klein shoot, practically nude, so I had to cover with a robe and make this call and tell her," Kim said. "She packed her stuff—whatever she checked in with twenty two years prior—and was released immediately."

Oval Office meeting

Kim's experience advocating on behalf of Johnson was her first step on the path towards becoming a lawyer and furthering her advocacy work.

She met with President Trump again, this time on behalf of a man who received a life sentence for a nonviolent crime. This time, she was accompanied by attorney Van Jones, who said he will "never forget walking into the West Wing with her."

While Jones felt as if "Every sentence I said made it worse," he recalled Kim and the president discussing the case, including Kardashian's response after Trump said, "This guy . . . let's just be honest now. This is a tough guy."

"Kim had memorized the case," Jones said in the book. "She knew everything about the person. She told the president, ‘You can be the big guy; you can help a sick man.’ It was like watching a ballerina hypnotize a grizzly bear . . . her syllable-to-impact ratio is off the charts. What she can get done in a simple sentence!"

Jones argued in the book that while some may resent Kim because "she represents somebody who already has it all" and is now trying to also "be successful in my field," he says, "if you’re in jail, and you’re trying to get out, you’re not mad at Kim Kardashian."

"You have literally hundreds of thousands of people for whom the system is so broken that only when a Kim Kardashian steps in does she change the odds in their favor, even a little bit," he said. "So you can be mad at Kim or you can be mad at the system that is so broken that it needs Kim."

Kanye concerns

Kim married rapper Kanye West in May 2014 and welcomed four children together before filing for divorce in February 2021.

Towards the end of their marriage, West began acting increasingly erratic as he dealt with ongoing mental health issues and began speaking negatively about Kim and her family members. Kim expressed in the past that this led her to not feel safe around him, emotionally and physically.

Despite this, Kim told Van Meter she continues to "worry about him all day."

"All the time. That’s the father of my kids, I’ll never not worry about him. And that’s a big burden of having kids with someone who you don’t necessarily get along with. My kids would never know that. I do everything in my power to forget about all the negative things that happened," she said. "I have to be realistic, and my therapist definitely tells me, ‘Your boundaries have to go up,’ but we manage to coparent without too much conflict. It’s been pretty smooth for while. I guess because we don’t talk that much. But when we see each other, we give each other a hug."

She added that she not only encourages her children to have a relationship with their father, but also with his family, noting that whenever his family members are in town, she will invite them over for dinner and to spend time with her kids.

Although he was acting erratic in public, Kim noted their children never saw him that way, adding, "That was such a blessing."

"He would have a full episode, and the kids would never know because they would be almost a calming presence for him. So it was a fine balance of, like, how do we keep them around? Or: Is it go-time?" she said. "My whole household knows what a ‘lockdown’ means if I text it. Like, ‘We’re on lockdown.’ No TVs, just movies. No just plug in a phone for music in the car. Not even, like, XM, because they talk about current events in real time. like, they don’t have to be a party to this."

A house divided

Kris Jenner's marriage to Robert Kardashian ended in 1990 when she was caught having an affair with 23-year-old soccer player, Todd Waterman.

In her own memoir, Jenner opened up about the affair, calling it "out of control, crazy, dangerous." Van Meter writes that as time went on she got "reckless" and would openly host friends at her home along with Waterman, and even took six-year-old Khloe with her when she went on dates with him.

"We knew my mom was dating, because we would see it," Kim said. "She introduced us to her boyfriend. He was ten years younger. He was kind of like a playboy."

Robert eventually confronted Jenner, and they came together to tell their children they were getting a divorce in January 1990.

When reflecting on that day, Kim shared that "Kourtney had a hard time with it" and that "I didn't really care." Kourtney confirmed this saying, "I don't think it affected her," when asked about Kim's reaction.

"It was traumatic for me," Kourtney told Van Meter. "I feel like the oldest child takes things the hardest. I see that with my own kids and my nieces and nephews."

OJ's opinion

When "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" aired its first episode in October 2007, audiences gained access to the Kardashian/Jenner clan in a way they previously never had.

Prior to the release of the show, Kim appeared on "The Tyra Banks Show" in September, and after seeing her on the show, O.J. Simpson wasn't too hopeful the show would be a success.

While in Las Vegas getting ready to commit armed robbery to allegedly steal sports memorabilia he believed to be his, memorabilia dealer, Tom Riccio, who was in the room with him, recalled the former football star saying, "That’s my goddaughter! Her name is Kim!" and then added, "That show ain’t gonna last two weeks!"

Of course, the show ultimately went on to air on E! for over 14 years and spawned eight spin-off shows. Their reality TV prowess continues on Hulu, as their new show, "The Kardashians" recently started its eighth season on the streamer.

Russell Brand’s wife, Laura Brand, took the stand Thursday as a defense witness, one day after the comedian and actor testified in his ongoing rape and sexual assault trial.

Brand, 51, is accused of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault involving six women between 1999 and 2009. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and vehemently denies the allegations.

According to Sky News, Brand acknowledged that he had been "reckless" and used his fame to pursue sexual relationships, but insisted that the encounters were consensual. He also told the jury that consent was "fundamental, essential and necessary."

During Laura's testimony, the mom of three — who first met her husband when she was 19, and he was 31 — opened up about the start of their relationship.

The pair began dating in 2006, but split the following year due to Brand’s difficulty with monogamy and her "inexperience."

"When I met him, I was aware that he liked women, and I was aware toward the latter half of that year that he was engaging with other women," Laura told the court, per Sky News. "I was not interested in having a relationship with him if he was sleeping with other people. I was invested; we both had told each other we loved each other, but it was clear it was difficult for him to be monogamous."

The couple rekindled their relationship in 2015 and married in 2017. They share three children.

Laura described Brand as "caring and kind, a wonderful father to our children, and an amazing, attentive husband," adding that he has an "eye for detail I have never known before."

"I feel very seen by him," she said. "We have a very honest, frank and clear relationship and marriage.… Our relationship has always been [about] honesty. I love him very much."

According to the outlet, there was a brief moment of tension in court when defense attorney Ian Winter asked Laura about her "view as to the truth of the allegations."

The judge quickly intervened, telling the attorney that Laura was not an expert witness. The jury was temporarily sent out of the courtroom.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON FOR 2006 SEX CRIME IN NEW YORK

Prosecutors allege that Brand committed the offenses against six women over a 10-year period. The women have testified in court about alleged encounters at a hotel, a bar, a radio station, a workplace and Brand’s home.

Brand has denied forcing any of the women to engage in sexual activity against their will.

In a video posted to X last year, Brand thanked his fans for messages of support, then criticized the British government and legal system before addressing the charges directly.

He explained that he "was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile, but what I never was was a rapist. I've never engaged in nonconsensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes."

Brand added, "Of course, I'm now going to have the opportunity to defend these charges in court, and I'm incredibly grateful for that."

He wrapped up his video by assuring his followers that he'd continue to address the allegations against him.

As police explained in a press release, detectives began investigating Brand after allegations were made public by U.K. media outlets Channel 4 and The Sunday Times in September 2023.

The outlets launched a joint investigation into the allegations, resulting in a lengthy article on the Times' website, as well as an episode of Channel 4's documentary series, "Dispatches," called "Russell Brand: In Plain Sight." Both contained a number of anonymous complaints, with women accusing Brand of physical and emotional abuse and bullying, as well as some instances of sexual assault.

Brand denied the claims shortly after they were made public, saying in a video statement shared on social media that his relationships were "always consensual."

The actor revealed that he received a few inquiries from media outlets with regard to "a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks."

"Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute," he said.

According to Brand, the encounters occurred during a "time of promiscuity" but were "always consensual." He also noted that he "was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent, and I am being transparent about it now as well."

"To see that transparency metastasized into something criminal, that I absolutely deny, makes me question: Is there another agenda at play?" he asked.
