<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump issued a pardon for rapper NBA (“Never Broke Again”) YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden, on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 25-year-old recording artist was previously sentenced to just under two years in prison on gun-related charges, per </span><a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-youngboy-pardon-trump-weapons-charges-4e0129e9587c61a317acb4153b2e6f9c#"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Associated Press</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist,” Gaulden said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rapper pleaded guilty to his involvement in a Utah pharmacy drug ring, which included charges of felony identity fraud and felony forgery. Those charges were downgraded to misdemeanors, and Gaulden was forced to pay a $25,000 fine. The following month brought more legal woes for the “Shot Callin’” singer. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaulden acknowledged that he was in illegal possession of weapons despite being a convicted felon and was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison by a Utah judge. He reached a settlement, including an almost two-year sentence, five years of probation, and a $200,000 fine. The rapper was released from prison in March, but the pardon means he won’t have to serve the five years of probation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The performer has been involved in numerous criminal cases, including two attempted murder charges in 2016 when he was 17 years old, per </span><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/05/29/nba-youngboy-trump-pardon/83917364007/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The charges were reduced to aggravated assault with a firearm and resulted in a suspended 10-year prison sentence and probation. Gaulden was also involved in a 2018 assault and kidnapping, a 2019 assault and battery lawsuit, and a 2019 shooting in Miami, the outlet noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gaulden recently announced his first headlining national tour, which is scheduled to begin in September and visit 32 cities nationwide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump issued several other presidential pardons this week, including “Chrisley Knows Best” reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are currently serving years-long sentences over numerous financial crimes. The president also pardoned former New York Congressman Michael Grimm and former Connecticut Republican Governor John Rowland.</span></p>

Trump Issues Pardon For Rapper NBA YoungBoy

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former first lady Michelle Obama said that a woman’s unique ability to grow a human life inside her body is “the least of” what the reproductive system is for.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Obama, a prominent Democrat and supporter of abortion, discussed her thoughts during an <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0SvVgcSCgmhJysFFOPU5hR">episode</a> of her “IMO with Michelle Obama &amp; Craig Robinson” podcast on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Becoming” author said that the &#8220;frustrating thing&#8221; is that the issue &#8220;has been reduced to a question of choice, as if that&#8217;s all of what women&#8217;s health is.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election that there&#8217;s just so much more at stake because so many men have no idea what women go through,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t been researched, we haven&#8217;t been considered, and it still affects the way a lot of men lawmakers, a lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders think about the issue of choice, as if it&#8217;s just about the fetus, the baby.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Women&#8217;s reproductive health is about our life,” Obama added. “It&#8217;s about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She continued, “It&#8217;s a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that&#8217;s producing it—if you want to whittle us down to a machine—if the machine is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way. But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The former first lady’s friend, OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, was a guest on the episode. She agreed with Obama’s thoughts, saying, &#8220;one of the things that is disturbing&#8221; is that the &#8220;government has gotten involved in decisions that are personal and healthcare decisions.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s not just about whether someone chooses to have a pregnancy or not, but this is a situation where a woman should have control over her body—when and if to have a baby, and to decide how that pregnancy should continue,&#8221; she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At another point in the episode, Dr. Malone also mentioned a link between “older sperm” and “more autism.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They&#8217;ll never let that secret out. That may be the key behind all the defunding everything,&#8221; Michelle Obama replied. &#8220;Then old men can keep marrying 20-year-olds. It&#8217;s like, &#8216;I&#8217;ll give you the baby you want.'&#8221;</span></p>

Michelle Obama Says Creating Life Is ‘The Least’ Of What A Woman’s Reproductive System Does

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Motown singer Smokey Robinson is counter-suing four women who accused him of sexual assault in a cross-complaint filed on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 85-year-old recording artist was hit with a lawsuit from four former employees earlier this month. The unnamed plaintiffs are seeking $50 million for charges including rape and sexual abuse, which they said occurred between 2007 and 2024, per </span><a href="https://apnews.com/article/smokey-robinson-sexual-misconduct-investigation-la-72bebfd2659f2c8b324557395ceb37bc"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Associated Press</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p>Now it’s being reported that Robinson and his wife, Frances Gladney, are suing the women for $500 million.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The Robinsons did not abuse, harm, or take advantage of plaintiffs; they treated plaintiffs with the utmost kindness and generosity,&#8221; the lawsuit says, per <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/smokey-robinson-hits-back-500-million-lawsuit-against-sexual-assault-accusers">Fox News</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The singer said he treated the women as his “extended family” and claimed to have given them gifts, including concert tickets, vehicles, and money, during their tenure, as the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/29/entertainment/smokey-robinson-sues-his-accusers-for-elder-abuse-defamation-in-500m-countersuit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. As proof, Robinson provided screenshots of friendly text exchanges and images of his wife on a tropical vacation with one of the accusers. The celeb said he footed the bill for the trip.</span></p>
<p>The singer’s lawyer, Christopher Frost, previously described the lawsuit as representing “unadulterated avarice.”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We feel confident that a determination will be made that Mr. Robinson did nothing wrong, and that this is a desperate attempt to prejudice public opinion and make even more of a media circus than the Plaintiffs were previously able to create,” Frost said at the time of the original lawsuit being filed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, the attorney representing the four plaintiffs says the women kept quiet due to fear of humiliation and losing their employment.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">John Harris said his clients believe Robinson to be “a serial and sick rapist and must be stopped.” </span></p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Having to tell their [spouses] and children of these despicable actions left them filled with shame and embarrassment. So throughout their dreadful experiences with Mr. Robinson, all four women remained silent,” he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robinson is a legendary singer, songwriter, and record producer who played a key role in shaping the Motown sound as the frontman of The Miracles. He also served as a songwriter for artists like The Temptations (Robinson cowrote the single “My Girl”) and Mary Wells, for whom he wrote “My Guy.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a career spanning more than six decades, he’s known for timeless hits like “Tracks of My Tears” and “Cruisin&#8217;.” </span></p>

Smokey Robinson Files $500M Lawsuit Against Rape Accusers

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beyoncé rode a vintage car through the air &#8212; but does that hold a candle to getting busted by the cops while playing a Columbia, Missouri, house party?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In an era where over-the-top concerts and sky-high ticket prices dominate headlines, The All-American Rejects are taking a different approach. The pop-punk band, which rose to fame in the early 2000s, is reconnecting with fans on their House Party Tour, which brings the band to intimate, fan-suggested venues. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Frontman Tyson Ritter explained the motivation behind this unconventional approach.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I recently read something about people financing festival tickets, the complete inaccessibility of the concert experience in 2025, and how it&#8217;s juxtaposed against these wild and weird economic times,&#8221; he told </span><a href="https://www.vulture.com/article/all-american-rejects-interview-house-party-tour.html#:~:text=%2C%E2%80%9D%20he%20says.-,%E2%80%9CI%20recently%20read%20something%20about%20people%20financing%20festival%20tickets%2C%20the,our%20shows%20can%20still%20work.%E2%80%9D"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vulture</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in a recent interview.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This realization led to the band investing their own money to bring live music directly to fans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;We took $50,000 out of our own pockets, booked a bus,” Ritter explained. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“For me, it was that we could find an opening and an opportunity as four guys from Oklahoma who didn’t come from much.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I was raised in a trailer house, my first concert was sitting on my porch listening to a band that was playing at an outdoor pavilion,” Ritter added, noting that the backyard tour is also a form of protest against the music industry status quo.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was like, this is the reason people are showing up. It’s the have-nots and have-littles in the middle-of-nowhere America who keep the lights on for our country. They’re often drive-through states for many of these big tours. Who’s playing Ames, Iowa? Who’s playing Green Bay, Wisconsin? Unless it’s a big arena with the big old sponsor,” he told the outlet.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re seeing it now where these giant artists — I’m not going to say her name — aren’t really selling out their shows anymore, and they pay for these arenas to make it look like they did,” Ritter added. “The first 25% of the arena gets sold from people buying $300 tickets, and they don’t even know that the local promoter is getting hundreds of free tickets to fill the rest of the venue.”</span></p>
<p>The House Party Tour has taken off in a large part because younger concertgoers never got to experience intimate concerts. And since Gen Z <span style="font-weight: 400;">is all about nostalgia, they were eager to latch onto something they’d heard about, but had never got to try firsthand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We did a show in LA that was the kind that you have to do when promoting new music. It left a sour taste in our mouths and in this giant gorilla of an industry we’re clawing our way back into, we decided to put on a show the next day,” Ritter told </span><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2025/05/21/all-american-rejects-singer-tyson-ritter-pop-up-shows-interview/83777418007/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, adding that the band first played at the home of a University of Southern California student with just five hours notice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He added, “We start playing and there were [40 ounce bottles of beer] hoisted in the air and people crowd surfing. I looked into some of their eyes and I saw a rite of passage moment was happening. That they’re going, ‘I saw pictures of my parents doing this, but I never got to.’”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ritter said the band recaptured a feeling from long ago. “We felt cool,” he told Vulture.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“So after that night, we all put our heads together to see what would be possible. My wife’s getting ready to bring our second child into the world, and she’s due in a week and a half. I told my manager, ‘What if we do as many as we can in this week-and-a-half space? Let’s do it the same way we did when we started out. Let’s reach out to college radio stations and local businesses. Let’s ask for a $5 donation at the door.’ It was that simple.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, the Rejects have performed in a variety of unconventional venues, including a Minneapolis bowling alley and fans&#8217; backyards in “flyover states” like Iowa and Missouri. These pop-up shows emphasize spontaneity and a return to the communal spirit of live music.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite not making money hand over fist like other artists charging hundreds or even thousands of dollars per ticket, the band has been prioritizing connection with fans over profit. And they’re finding new fans in addition to the millennials who remember viral hits from the early aughts like “Swing Swing,” “Move Along,” and “Gives You Hell.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the case of getting </span><a href="https://people.com/all-american-rejects-backyard-gig-shut-down-by-cops-11741776"><span style="font-weight: 400;">busted by the police</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> while performing at the University of Missouri, the patrol sergeant admitted to listening to The All-American Rejects in college and allowed the band to play “one more song” before the party had to disperse.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their choice? The viral 2008 jam “Gives You Hell.&#8221; Obviously.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The House Party Tour coincides with the release of &#8220;Sandbox,&#8221; the band&#8217;s first new song in almost 14 years. They will be opening for the Jonas Brothers on an actual stage beginning on August 10, but for now, they’re gaining fans and publicity by proving they don’t think they’re too good for a classic middle America roller rink.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And instead of being embarrassed or feeling like it’s beneath them, the band is proud of the route they’ve chosen. “This is going to be a feather we fly in our cap, and we’re going to Yankee Doodle as far as we can go,” Ritter said. “I felt like I was watching an echo of a yesterday that got me into doing this.”</span></p>

This Pop-Rock Band Ditched Pyrotechnics For Middle America Porch Parties

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A “Horizon” stunt performer is suing Kevin Costner and film producers for what she’s describing as “a violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene&#8221; directed by Costner in the film.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stunt performer Devyn LaBella filed the sexual harassment lawsuit in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles County on Tuesday, citing an alleged incident from 2023 during the filming of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LaBella claims she was hired by the production company as a stand-in for lead actress Ella Hunt &#8220;during physical scenes&#8221; and that during that time, her SAG agreement terms were violated. Those include a ban on “any last minute requests for nudity or simulated sex.&#8221; The terms also require producers to give a 48-hour notice and get the performer&#8217;s permission for any changes to intimate scenes, along with providing an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes, People <a href="https://people.com/horizon-stuntperformer-files-sexual-harassment-lawsuit-against-kevin-costner-and-film-producers-11742855">reported</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Per the complaint, LaBella was slated to cover Hunt’s non-intimate scenes on the day in question. But when Hunt arrived on set, the actress learned that Costner had requested new scenes which would require actor Roger Ivens to climb on top of her, &#8220;violently raking up her skirt.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunt was allegedly upset by the &#8220;ad hoc and violent nature of the sudden script change request&#8221; and refused to film the new scenes. After she left the set, Costner is said to have asked LaBella to stand in, which she agreed to without knowing why Hunt had departed without filming, per </span><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2025/05/28/kevin-costner-horizon-stunt-performer-lawsuit/83895723007/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lawsuit says LaBella did not know that &#8220;involvement in the impromptu shot would go beyond standing in as a standard body-double.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;She was not warned or prepared for Mr. Ivens to perform or engage in any action on top of her and first learned that Ivens would mount her and violently pull her skirt up when he was already on top of her doing so,&#8221; the complaint says. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It added that Costner directed Ivens to &#8220;repeatedly perform a violent simulated rape&#8221; on LaBella &#8220;without proper notice, consent, preparation, or appropriate safeguard measures in place, such as the project&#8217;s intimacy coordinator being called in.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LaBella further asserted that Costner provided &#8220;no clear direction of when the scene began or ended,&#8221; and said she was &#8220;never given the opportunity to prepare for or consent to participate in this scene, much less to object to it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The stunt double said the incident was &#8220;especially humiliating&#8221;  because &#8220;she was menstruating at the time, compounded by the fact that between takes, Mr. Ivens&#8217; hands rested on top of the bundled-up skirt above her vagina.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The complaint also says the scene was &#8220;broadcast publicly on monitors for the entire crew to witness,&#8221; but asserts the &#8220;set should have been closed&#8221; due to the content being filmed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LaBella is suing for an unspecified amount of money over the alleged incident and has asked for a trial by jury.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Horizon: An American Saga &#8211; Chapter 2&#8221; is the second part in Costner’s passion project, a four-part Western film series he wrote, directed, and financed with his own money. The first installment premiered in June 2024. &#8220;Chapter 2&#8221; was initially slated to debut in August 2024, but the sequel was pulled from release after the first chapter struggled at the box office, as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-costners-second-part-of-western-saga-pulled-from-theaters-ahead-of-august-release"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Chapter 2&#8221; was shown at the Venice International Film Festival in September, but so far, it is not scheduled for a theatrical release as initially planned.</span></p>

Kevin Costner Sued For ‘Violent, Unscripted’ Rape Scene In ‘Horizon 2’

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson shared an emotional Instagram post about his late father Phil Robertson, who died on Sunday at the age of 79. Willie’s post included a photo montage of his father and him, and revealed the last thing Phil said to Willie before his death.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I remember Phil’s many prayers on Memorial Day and all the times with my dad. I don’t have enough words to tell of all of it, perhaps it will take months or years of remembering,” the post began.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Looking back at pics I noticed he was always looking at me funny, prolly trying to figure out, ‘How did this boy turn out like this?’ I remember in 8th grade bringing my boombox in the living room and doing a break dance routine for him as he sat on his recliner. He just looked strangely at me and said, ‘Well, I’ve never seen anything quite like that!’ I took it as a compliment,” the post continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Willie next recalled dancing again in front of his dad “at he very end of his life” saying, “Maybe I figured it was the last thing he would think I would do, so I just did it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Duck Dynasty” alum next reflected on his father’s faith and legacy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He taught me many things in life and most without ever saying a word. I watched him, and knew he had figured out so many things. Most importantly, he taught me the value of sharing my faith with others. He was the Real Deal, the same on Sundays as Fridays. Most of our conversations were not about hunting or business, but about sharing the Gospel,” the Instagram post continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The last words he said to me as I leaned down over his weakened body was ‘You’re my brother.’ It made total sense to me. He always told me we were coworkers in the Kingdom of God. Maybe that’s why I always just called him Phil. Not sure if he is up in Heaven now doing his own dance moves for our Father,” Willie wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He concluded with words of thanks for his late father. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The reality star wrote, “Thank you for raising me the right way and teaching me the most important lesson to prepare me for the day you passed on. Not sure how people deal with loss without the Lord. We may be wrong about all this….but I doubt it! Sleep well Dad, can’t wait to see you.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Family patriarch Phil died just months after receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/duck-dynasty-patriarch-and-devout-christian-phil-robertson-dies-at-79?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98Duck+Dynasty%E2%80%99+Patriarch+And+Devout+Christian+Phil+Robertson+Dies+At+79"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Phil was an avid outdoorsman who invented his first duck call in 1972. Decades later, Duck Commander became a multi-million-dollar business and was featured in the show “Duck Dynasty,” which aired for 11 seasons between 2012 and 2017. It became one of the most-watched reality shows on TV.</span></p>
