From the very beginning of her career, Lil' Kim and controversy have gone hand-in-hand. Doing for hip-hop what Madonna did for pop, she was one of the first female rappers to openly confront then-taboo subjects like sexuality and feminism in an empowered manner. Matching male rappers' energy with ease while still showcasing her femininity, Lil' Kim's 1996 debut album "Hard Core" remains a classic today. In 2016, she told XXL, "Everything I did was super sexy, and they were just like, that was dope, because it had never been done in the hard core, gangsta hip-hop music that I was making."

The 2022 BET Awards were sparking controversy in the weeks leading up to the event, so it's no wonder that the award show itself brought some drama. Most notably, the voting academy neglected to nominate chart-topping artist Lil Nas X, prompting him to start a Twitter conversation about homophobia in the Black community. Jack Harlow, Nas' "Industry Baby" collaborator, was also scrutinized for accepting his invite to the Black Entertainment Television awards as a white rapper.

Petito's body was eventually found in September 2021 in Grand Teton National Park, with her death ruled as a homicide by strangulation. Laundrie would die by suicide a few weeks later, with his remains found in October 2021 alongside a notebook, which the FBI later confirmed contained Laundrie's murder confession.

The hit sitcom "The Middle" featured an ensemble of funny and colorful characters. The Heck family was a kooky bunch, both dysfunctional and loving all at once.

The young actor gave a showy performance with biting sarcasm.

In fact, he was called a real-life Prince Charming when he attended a "Cinderella Ball" at the National Capital Arena back in 2018, per The Washington Post.

Actor and film producer Alec Baldwin has never been one to shy away from controversy. Case in point: the time he left a damaging voicemail calling his then-11-year-old daughter, Ireland Baldwin a "pig." Yikes. Then, in 2021, the actor made headlines after discharging what was meant to be a prop gun on the set of his Western film, "Rust" tragically killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. To add insult to injury, he later appeared in an ABC special wherein he took zero responsibility for the fatal accident. "The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them" he declared to ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos. "Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property. Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who that is, but I know it's not me."
