Bebe Rexha has issued a plea to the public. She is urging them to refrain from discussing her recent weight gain of 30 pounds. She has attributed the gain to her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis. This follows an incident where she was struck in the face by a cellphone during a performance in New York. The 33-year-old pop star, sporting a noticeable black eye, took to Twitter to express her frustration. She is wary of the constant criticism about her appearance. In a tweet, she declared her exhaustion with the topic. She also acknowledged her weight gain but emphasized her desire to move on from the discussion. “‘I know I got fat. I’m just so sick of people talking about it. NEXT!!!!!!’ she tweeted.
In another tweet, Bebe Rexha acknowledged that weight fluctuations are a natural part of life. She said that people should consider the various factors that can contribute to changes in one’s body, such as medication or health conditions. Her posts garnered a multitude of supportive responses from fans, who reassured Rexha of her beauty and talent. They expressed disappointment in the persistent habit of finding fault in others. Additionally, they encouraged her to ignore the negativity.
Earlier, Bebe Rexha had shared a bathroom mirror selfie, lifting her sweatshirt to reveal her stomach. She said she was proudly embracing her current “fat era.” In a previous interview, she openly discussed her struggles with weight and a hormonal imbalance she experienced. The hitmaker emphasized that in the year 2023, society should have moved beyond fixating on people’s weight and appearance. She said people should be considering the personal struggles individuals might be facing. Rexha also acknowledged her love for food and her ongoing journey of self-improvement. However, she also expressed a temporary sense of discouragement.
During various media appearances, Rexha has also shed light on her health issues, revealing her diagnosis of PCOS. It is a hormonal disorder affecting approximately one in ten women of childbearing age. She disclosed that the condition has played a significant role in her weight gain. It has caused rapid fluctuations in her body size. Additionally, Rexha highlighted the challenges she has faced with weight and body image. This includes the pressure she received from her record label to lose 20 pounds when signing her first record deal. What do you think of Bebe Rexha’s comments on her body?

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are enjoying the summer season together. The pair were spotted together at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The 27-year-old model and the 29-year-old Puerto Rican rapper were seen arriving at the hotel. This sighting followed their sushi outing the previous day. Kendall opted for an incognito look. The model was wearing navy blue bicycle shorts, a white crop top, and a black shrug. She completed the outfit with orange, yellow, and black sneakers and white socks. Bad Bunny, on the other hand, wore a blue t-shirt, pants, a Boston Red Sox ball cap, and black sunglasses. The look made him barely recognizable.
The two confirmed their relationship in March, after weeks of speculation and public displays of affection. The couple was first seen engaging in PDA at a nightclub in mid-February. The recent outing at the Beverly Hills Hotel took place amidst Kendall Jenner expressing her feelings of not fitting in with her family. In an interview with WSJ Magazine, she revealed that she has always felt out of place in her famous family. She also said that she didn’t choose the life of fame and reality TV. She acknowledged that while she has learned to navigate this lifestyle. However, she doesn’t feel naturally suited to it.
Kendall Jenner’s Public Upbringing

Kendall’s experience in the spotlight began at a young age. The burgeoning supermodel was was only 11 when Keeping Up With the Kardashians premiered. Unlike her older siblings who actively chose to live their lives on camera, Kendall feels different. She is a Jenner rather than a Kardashian. Kendall is clearly as more aligned with her father than the rest of her family. According to her, it strange to be grouped under the Kardashian name. Still, that doesn’t seem to stop it from happening.
However, that is not to suggest that she holds any animosity toward her family. According to Kendall, she admires her older sister Kim. The star seems to thrive in the reality television world. However, it took Kendall almost 20 years to become accustomed to the public attention and accept her role in the spotlight. What do you think of the relationship
Kim Kardashian recently revealed that she does actually have a favorite sister. It may not be who you expect, either. It turns out Kim’s favorite sister is Khloe Kardashian. During a conversation with Hailey Bieber, Kim defended Khloe. She says that people often unfairly criticize her and fail to recognize her as a human being. Kim and Khloe’s relationship was not always close. However, when Khloe had her daughter True, Kim stepped in to offer support. This has resulted in a stronger bond between them.
Kim expressed her frustration with fans who often misunderstand the full story. She said she sometimes reacts on social media to clarify the facts. Kim also mentioned that she occasionally claps back at critics when she feels the need to set things straight. According to her, she always has the facts to back her up. Additionally, Kim acknowledged that it can be frustrating when fans don’t have a complete understanding of what is truly happening behind the scenes.

In a recent episode, Kim found herself in conflict with Kourtney. This was after she posed for a Dolce & Gabbana campaign shortly after Kourtney featured the same brand at her wedding. Kim commented on the situation, expressing that she didn’t think she needed to ask for permission. She said she believed she was being considerate. However, tensions arose as Kourtney felt that her moment was overshadowed. Apparently, she thinks that there is a lack of loyalty within the family. Kourtney perceived Kim’s actions as a form of jealousy. In spite of the comments, she remained focused on her upcoming baby and her relationship with her husband.
Despite the ongoing tensions within the Kardashian family, Kim emphasized her close bond with Khloe. She often defends her against criticism. While conflicts may arise, the sisters have managed to support each other through various challenges. Clearly, their relationship has evolved into a strong friendship beyond simple familial bonds. Meanwhile, Kourtney’s focus is on her upcoming baby and maintaining a positive perspective despite the perceived dynamics within the family.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have quickly become one of the definitive showbiz couples of their era, turning heads wherever they go. Most recently, fans spotted Rihanna enjoying Rocky’s Spotify-sponsored performance at Cannes last night. But it was more than just her presence at the show that was drawing attention. Though her new baby bump in a sheer black and tan dress is definitely a contender for what left fans talking the most, it was something Rocky said that takes the cake. According to Page Six, Rocky gave RiRi a shoutout, referring to her as his wife.
“I’d like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife in the motherf*cking building!,” A$AP Rocky said during a break in his second performance. The pair already have one child together with another one on the way. Many hoped that Rihanna’s Superbowl performance would come with an announcement of new music, but it mostly served to announce a second child. Still, it’s unclear what Rocky means when he refers to Rihanna as his “wife.” Though he’s likely just using it as a term of endearment, neither artist has responded to questions about the phrasing yet.
Their attention-grabbing night at Cannes follows a Tuesday night where they were also making headlines. A few weeks ago Rihanna was named the face of Pharrell’s upcoming debut collection as head of Menswear at Louis Vuitton. The couple was in the house for the revealing of the collection at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. They joined a deep roster of celebrity guests including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Megan Thee Stallion, Kim Kardashian, and many more. Pusha T and his brother No Malice even showed up and debuted a brand new Clipse song for the event.
All the “wife” talk coming from A$AP Rocky and Rihanna follows a report last month about their supposed marriage status. The rumor stated that they were “in no rush” to get married despite being fully committed to each other. What do you think of A$AP Rocky calling Rihanna his wife on stage? Let us know in the comment section below.
SZA has been on tour across Europe since the start of June and she’s about to wrap it up. The final show on this leg of the tour and her last stop until it picks up again in September takes place tonight in Ireland. Before her show, SZA celebrated by sharing some increasingly scandalous photos with fans on Instagram. The singer shared six new pics showing off her outfit and body in various natural settings.
As soon as the pictures were posted thousands of fans and even some fellow celebs rushed to the comments to gush over her looks. Tinashe noted that she’s coincidentally also in Ireland at the same time. Whereas pop singer Gracie Abrams praised SZA’s looks with a much simpler heart eyes emoji. Some of the fans took a funnier approach, asking SZA why she was taking such racy photos in the middle of nature. “Why ur a*s out in a forest,” one of the most liked comments reads. SZA didn’t take the opportunity to use her caption to clear things up for anyone. The text attached to the post simply reads “Ya sure I’d love to.”
There’s been no shortage of reasons to talk about SZA recently. After she brought out Travis Scott as a special guest for a recent show on her tour rumors began swirling about the two. Allegations that the pair are a couple aren’t new, but they didn’t do themselves any favors with a performance many read as flirtatious. There’s been no acknowledgment of the rumors by either artist yet. The pair have collaborated multiple times with Travis Scott appearing on both of SZA’s most recent albums SOS and CTRL.
Dating rumors aren’t the only reason the pair are being linked either. Reports say they could be working on new music together. With Travis Scott being in full promo mode for his forthcoming album Utopia, it’s worth asking if SZA could make an appearance on the record. What do you think about SZA’s new pictures? Let us know in the comment section below.
Singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha is currently making headlines after a fan threw a phone at her, hitting her in the face during a concert. Many artists and fans have spoken out in support of the singer who needed stitches after the incident. The artist, born Bleta Rexha, is a chart-topping artist, known for her witty pen and killer vocals. Her career kicked off in 2010, before a significant rise to fame three years later. She is currently signed to Warner Bros. Records and Warner Music Group.
The Grammy-nominated singer rose to fame after receiving songwriting credits on Eminem and Rihanna’s hit single, “The Monster.” Since then, she has released three EPs and three studio albums. Her third album, Bebe, was released on April 28 to rave reviews. After the phone-throwing incident, Bebe Rexha has revealed that she’s just fine and is recovering well. Her career continues to enjoy success, as she’s promoting her album on tour.
Early Beginnings
Bebe Rexha was born in Brooklyn to an Albanian family from North Macedonia. In high school, she joined the choir and focused more on her music. The singer didn’t take long to sign with a talent scout, which would eventually kickstart her ascent in the industry. By 2010, Rexha had begun to garner buzz in the underground music scene.
By 2010, she collaborated with Pete Wentz, a member of the famous rock band Fall Out Boy. Following Fall Out Boy’s indefinite hiatus, she provided vocals for Wentz’s new experimental band, Black Cards. Two years after the formation of the new band, Rexha departed to pursue a solo career.
Bebe Rexha’s Solo Career & Breakthrough
Due to her significant buzz, Rexha secured a deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2013. Furthermore, her skills as a songwriter began to enjoy attention, and she wrote songs for Selena Gomez, Nikki Williams, and Rihanna. The single “The Monster” became a chart-topper in numerous countries, and Rexha’s background vocals can be heard on the track.
However, Bebe Rexha eventually revealed that she had “no choice” but to give the song away. The chorus featured Rihanna’s vocals and was initially meant to be for Rexha herself. She had originally penned a song titled “Monster Under the Bed,” which featured the signature hook. Regardless of the potential it had, Rexha let the song go.
During a Facebook Live chat, she said, “Think about it. I had just turned 20, and I didn’t know any different. I see now that the song opened so many doors for me. At that time, I had no choice but to give that song away. I had no money and no record deal.”
While “The Monster” propelled her career in a positive direction, Bebe Rexha still cemented her name as a pop star afterward. She has written songs for several artists, including Iggy Azalea, Nick Jonas, and Tinashe. Her singles catalog is also stacked with features from many notable Hip Hop stars. Some rappers she has worked alongside include Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne.
Personal Life
Bebe Rexha is a largely private celebrity but often lets her fans into her world now and then. She has cited Lauryn Hill as her major musical inspiration. Although primarily a pop artist, Rexha has also become known for her versatility. Her work spans various genres, from R&B, to country, rock, and dance.
In April, the singer revealed that she has polycystic ovary syndrome, also known as PCOS. She is also a champion of body positivity and is known to call out designers who refuse to dress her because she is a size 8. She considers herself fluid sexually and revealed in 2019 that she has bipolar disorder.
The unfortunate phone-throwing incident may have put Bebe Rexha’s name on many more lips, but the artist’s work always speaks for itself. The alleged assailant, Nicolas Malvagna, has now been charged with two counts of assault in the third degree, one count of harassment in the second degree, one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree, and one count of attempted assault in the third degree.
The Weeknd went back and forth with users on Twitter, Tuesday, regarding his ongoing HBO series, The Idol. When trolls criticized his acting skills, he decided to fire back in a series of posts on the site.
“Go cry about it more,” the singer said to one user. When another came at him, The Weeknd responded, “Bruh if you don’t shave that sh*t stain off your chin LOL.” That comment caused another user to share a picture of The Weeknd in character for the show: “IK YOURE NOT TALKING WHEN U LOOK HIDEOUS LIKE THIS.” The Weeknd replied: “Not you again LOL you thought I wouldn’t recognize you cause you changed your DP… dropping that Jennie song this weekend for you! Get the bucket ready [single tear emoji].”

On the same day as The Weeknd’s Twitter tirade, Variety published an interview with him in which he discussed The Idol. The Weeknd explained that his goal was for the show to reassess the meaning of fame. “Well, my goal was for people to feel that way when they watch it, you know, and that they’ll reassess [fame],” he said.
The Weeknd Goes At It With Fans
He continued: “It’s almost educational, that this is what comes with being incredibly famous. You’re surrounded by people who you’re not sure what their true intentions are, even if it seems like they’re good. You just never know. But of course, I’ve been very fortunate to have people around me that I’ve known almost my entire life, which is important, and is a gift.” Check out The Weeknd’s back-and-forth with fans on Twitter below.
not you again LOL you thought I wouldn’t recognize you cause you changed your DP… dropping that Jennie song this weekend for you! Get the bucket ready https://t.co/VRrndMgvpB
Meek Mill is ready to go. Hitting Twitter, the Dreamchasers leader revealed that he has two albums ready to go.
Tweeting on Father’s Day, Meek Mill stated he is working on a joint album with Vory before announcing the second one is a “collab album.” The joint album with Vory is set to feature Symba.
“It’s going to be a top tier rap album and a vibeeeee,” Meek wrote. “It’s a collab album from some Of your favorite artists on one super movie.”
This other album I got coming I can’t speak on (not the vory one) but it’s also gone be top tier rap album and a vibeeeee…. It’s a collab album from some Of your favorite artist on one super movie!!!!!!
Last Wednesday, asked fans if they think he “fell off.”
The Philly-based artist posted: “Who think I fell off or don’t really think I got it with rapping anymore?….I’m fr I need answers and tell the truth I’m not taking it personal … I need to hear how people think before I do what I do! A social experiment! Answer if you a supporter of mines!”
Who think I fell off or don’t really think I got it with rapping anymore?…. I’m fr I need answers and tell the truth I’m not taking it personal … I need to hear how people think before I do what I do! A social experiment!
Responses to the tweet were mixed with some users saying that he needs to adapt his music to be more in line with current artistic styles while others said that he should stay true to his original style and perhaps go deeper on subject matter now that he is older. A few cracked jokes about other alternative income streams such as selling feet pics.
One thing that many were in agreement on was the fact that the only way the question can be answered is with the release of new music. Meek released his last studio album, Expensive Pain, in 2021. The album debuted and peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart.
The 2023 BET Awards are only a few days away, and the nominations are out. On the 25th of June, the ceremony will be held in Los Angeles, California at the Microsoft Theater. Although a host is yet to be announced, one should be revealed within the next couple of days. However, one major category that’s garnered attention is that of the Best Actress.
At the previous year’s ceremony, the number of nominees increased from six to nine, but the number has been brought down to seven in 2023. Currently holding the title is Zendaya, who won for her roles in HBO’s Euphoria and Spider-Man: No Way Home. First-time nominees include Abbot Elementary’s standout star Janelle James, as well as Keke Palmer for her star-elevating turn in the Western horror movie, Nope.
The competition is as tight as ever. Regardless, here are all the seven nominees up for Best Actress at the 2023 BET Awards.
Angela Bassett
Angela Bassett has already made history as the first MCU actor to earn an acting award at major awards ceremonies. So it’s no surprise that she’s once again earned another nod at the upcoming BET Awards. Bassett’s nomination for Best Actress officially makes her the most nominated woman in the history of the category. She has been up for the trophy eleven times in the past, and this year marks her twelfth time.
Unfortunately, she’s yet to snag the award, but her recent win streak might spell a different tale this year. In addition to her work as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Basset’s nod also recognizes her work in television. Her leading role as Sergeant Athena Grant-Nash on the procedural drama 9-1-1 has been continuously commended.
Last year, Coco Jones earned her first Best Actress nod at the BET Awards. This was thanks to her fabulous reimagination of Hilary Banks in Bel-Air. Jones has received widespread acclaim for her portrayal of the character. She has served to introduce the character to a new generation of viewers while maintaining the spunk of the original. Besides the Best Actress nod, Jones is also up for the 2023 BET Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, due to her stellar year as a musician.
Janelle James has been making people laugh for decades, but her breakthrough role on Abbott Elementary has been truly exceptional. James stars as Principal Ava in the comedy mockumentary, and her hilarious role has been constantly praised by fans and critics alike. 2023 marks James’ first Best Actress nomination at the BET Awards. As Abbott Elementary has already been renewed for a third season, there are probably a couple more nods for the actress in the future.
Janelle Monáe‘s first Best Actress nomination at the BET Awards came in 2017. Her brilliant performance in the biographical drama Hidden Figures was greatly praised. She lost the award to her co-star, Taraji P. Henson, but this year, she’s up for the trophy once again for her performance in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. In the movie, Monáe won the audience and critics over by playing the role of twin sisters Helen and Andi. Her contrasting performance was a standout in the film.
Keke Palmer has received her first-ever Best Actress nomination at the 2023 BET Awards. This recognition comes as a result of her highly acclaimed role in the Jordan Peele horror, Nope. Palmer played Emerald Haywood, the curious, outspoken sister of OJ Haywood, played by Daniel Kaluuya. Their unique performances were praised, with Palmer singled out for her incredible talents on screen. Furthermore, her voice acting on the animated series Human Resources was also lauded and is also part of why she’s up for the trophy.
With seven nods for Best Actress, Viola Davis is one of the most nominated women in the history of the BET Awards. She won in 2012 for her roles in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, as well as The Help. Davis is one of the most awarded actresses of her generation. It’s no surprise that her performance in epic drama The Woman King has garnered yet another nod.
Davis worked tirelessly to get in warrior shape for her role in the film, and she completely knocked it out of the park. While she has earned nods for her acting in film, the bulk of her nominations are thanks to her stellar performance in the legal drama How to Get Away With Murder.
Zendaya is currently the Best Actress holder at the BET Awards. Her win in 2022 came as a result of her gritty, emotional performance in the HBO teen drama, Euphoria. Coupled with that, her role in Spider-Man: No Way Home was also recognized. Although Euphoria has enjoyed its fair share of criticisms since its premiere, Zendaya’s acting has constantly been on the receiving end of praise.
