Bunnie XO isn't holding back as she discusses her divorce from Jelly Roll ... claiming she loved him more than he loved her throughout their marriage.

On her "Dumb Blonde" podcast, Bunnie says she was constantly "protecting" Jelly and "always making sure he was okay" ... calling herself the "chaser" in the relationship. She further claims she "literally was the glue that held us together."

Bunnie clarifies her comments mean no shade to Jelly and describes him as her soulmate, noting she's just sharing her truth. She says she simply decided to stop chasing him because they weren't giving the same effort or on the same page about anything.

5:03 PM PT -- Dameka Davis, attorney for the Rebel label, tells TMZ ... “Sexyy Red is overwhelmed with grief at the devastating loss of her dear friend and artistic collaborator, Tay Keith. Tay was a brilliant artist, and through his close musical partnership with Sexyy, he became a genuine friend to everyone at Rebel. We send our sincerest condolences to Tay Keith’s family and loved ones."

Dameka adds ... "Royalty negotiations are handled by labels -- not artists -- and I’ve worked closely with the legal counsel and team for Tay Keith to finalize the royalty agreement to fully compensate him for his valuable contributions as a musical collaborator with Sexyy. In fact, we were in the final stages of getting Tay Keith fully compensated before his shocking passing this week. We are expediting the finalization of this work with Tay Keith’s attorney so that full payment can be made to his estate as soon as possible.”

A rep for Tay Keith said, “The dispute is between the parties’ respective labels, and naming Sexyy Red in the lawsuit was a legal formality. Any allegations are directed at the label, not Red personally. Both labels have been cooperating, and the matter is close to being resolved. Tay and Red remained friends and he considered her a sister. They were in the studio together as recently as last week working on new music. We appreciate Red’s sentiments and condolences during this difficult time.”

Music producer Tay Keith had yet to resolve his legal battle with Sexyy Red's label over royalties he claimed he was owed at the time of his death ... but the parties were working towards a resolution, TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Tay sued Sexyy's label back in March 2026, claiming he produced 13 songs for her in 2024, including "Pound Town."

Tay claimed Sexyy’s song made millions from sales and streaming … but he says he never got paid for his services.

Bunnie XO is addressing speculation about her and Jelly Roll's dating life amid their shocking divorce ... and she says lots of folks have no clue what's going on.

Bunnie responded to online chatter about her and Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger on Thursday's episode of the "Dumb Blonde" podcast ... saying there's not an ounce of truth to rumors they are dating.

The chatter spread across the internet earlier this week after she posted a TikTok of herself singing along to the band's 2001 breakup hit "How You Remind Me" and jabbed Jelly in the comments ... but she explains she's simply a fan of the band -- which is well documented.

Jelly Roll is already dating following his split from Bunnie XO ... at least according to Bunnie herself.

The podcast host opened up about the divorce on Thursday's episode, revealing that Jelly Roll is ready to date and has already started seeing people.

Far from being upset about it, Bunnie said she's happy for him and supports him getting back out there. She also encouraged interested women to shoot their shot, joking that Jelly Roll's Instagram direct messages are open.

Oliver Tree's mom is remembering her son with a heartbreaking tribute following his tragic death in a helicopter crash.

Oliver's mom accompanied the post with a photo of him from his younger years, offering a glimpse of her son as loved ones continue to mourn his loss.

Bunnie XO says her split from Jelly Roll isn't stopping the pair from growing their family ... revealing they're still moving forward with plans to have a baby together despite ending their marriage.

Bunnie addressed the divorce on her podcast Thursday, explaining that while she and Jelly Roll have decided to end their nearly 10-year relationship, they still plan to have a child together and co-parent.

During the episode, Bunnie opened up about the couple's difficult IVF journey, revealing they suffered multiple embryo losses while trying to start a family. She said the setbacks took a significant emotional toll on both of them and contributed to strain in the relationship.

Chris Brown took the stand in the $90 million battle with his former housekeeper over a vicious dog attack at his L.A. home.

On Thursday, the entertainer testified in court as part of the trial in the lawsuit brought by Maria Avila. In her suit, Maria claims she was attacked by a large dog while taking out the trash. Chris denies wrongdoing.

In court, Chris denied that the dog in question was his and said it belonged to his head of security. Both the dog and the head of security were residents of the property. He added that the dog stayed on the property as a guard dog.

Madison Square Garden apparently was not Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's first choice for a wedding bash ... our sources say the OG plan was north of New York City.

Several months ago, there were reports the celebration would go down at Ocean House resort in Rhode Island. Our sources say the couple locked in a date -- June 13th -- not coincidentally Taylor's favorite numerals.

We've done some digging, and found out a big ol' fireworks show was planned as part of the reception. But in mid-May, the fireworks company handling the show got word the event was canceled and had been moved to New York. As for why, we're told the couple bailed after word got out about the venue.

French Montana is putting his money where his mouth is ... he says he cut a $75,000 check to the New York cab driver whose taxi was destroyed during the Knicks title celebration.

Appearing on "CBS Mornings" Thursday, French revealed he gave 59-year-old Algerian immigrant Noureddine Bitat the money to help cover at least six months worth of living expenses while he gets back on his feet.

French said Noureddine was so shaken by the ordeal that he doesn't even want to drive a taxi anymore, so he's hoping the financial support gives him time to figure out his next move.

There is evidence Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will not tie the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York, and there is also evidence something wedding-related is going down at Taylor's massive, seaside Rhode Island mansion.

There was a lot of activity at Taylor's R.I. place Wednesday night. For starters, a woman who appears to be Taylor's best friend, Abigail Anderson Berard, was on the balcony with a small child. Abigail has a child who will turn 2 in August.

A TikToker shot video Wednesday of 4 women on a rooftop balcony, 3 of whom were wearing black robes and a 4th -- a blonde woman -- wearing white.

An eyewitness who lives in the area tells TMZ ... the lights in Taylor's mansion are typically off, yet Wednesday night they were all on -- the house was lit up at around 8 PM.
