5. AkbarV DISSES Cardi B…again.

Well DAMN…. Do you think Cardi will reply?

4. LIZZO’s new album is FLOPPING!

The rollout for BITCH has been uniquely DIY and highly publicized. Lizzo took to social media to criticize her record label, pointing to a lack of promotional support and expressing frustration with modern music-streaming algorithms. She was even spotted personally hanging up album promotional posters around Los Angeles.

According to The Blast, Lizzo called out her music label, Atlantic Records, in May 2026 for allegedly failing to promote her album as she had anticipated.

After telling her fans to preorder the project so it doesn’t “flop,” Lizzo replied to a fan who asked why she wasn’t using billboards, posters, or other larger promotional materials.

“Baby, I’m asking the same question because I definitely approved the billboards in the marketing meetings. I definitely approved ads, but crickets,” she clapped back.

“I don’t know, but I’m crashing out on my label right now because I just really like – I feel like there’s not any marketing money being put toward my ideas,” she added.

According to Lizzo, she had a meeting with her team before the promotion of her project began; however, she said that none of her ideas were being implemented.

Fitness Influencer Royce Styles responded after his ex-girlfriend exposed him as Shannon Sharpe‘s alleged boytoy. Royce’s ex claims he was in a secret relationship with the NFL Hall of Famer.

But Royce denied the allegation in a live-stream video. “I’m not gonna talk bad about that community. I’m a not a homophobe or anything like that,” he said. “What you do behind closed doors is between you and whoever you do it with. That being said, I’m straight.”

He continued: “I don’t know how many times I gotta put it out there. I don’t know how many times I have to address this issue. I’m not bisexual, I don’t dibble and dabble in any of that ish you guys wanna try to put that ish out there. I’m a hundred percent straight.”

Royce shut down the rumors after his ex leaked hotel footage that allegedly shows Royce and Shannon with a third man in a hotel room.

During a live-stream, vlogger Tasha K explained that the jilted ex-girlfriend provided video and images that allege to show Royce and Shannon together at a hotel.

The images and video that I saw showed all three men fully clothed. Tasha claims the men took pictures of each other in the hotel room.
