#MAGFAB: Lady Gaga for ELLE Magazine Feb 2025
Lady Gaga appears on global covers of ELLE, including the ELLE US 2025 February Issue, on newsstands February 4th and the ELLE UK March Issue, on newsstands February 6th. Lady Gaga sat down with British writer Lotte Jeffs for an in-depth conversation about her groundbreaking new album Mayhem, life at home with fiancé Michael Polansky, finding a new sense of calm and normalcy—and her future kids.
Gaga discusses the chaos that inspired Mayhem, her genre-defying seventh album that pulls from “’90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths. Mayhem is utter chaos! It breaks a lot of rules and has a lot of fun,” she says. “It’s about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to.”
In a candid discussion, Gaga shares how making Mayhem became a process of rediscovery, allowing her to confront personal challenges and embrace her true self. “The chaos I thought was long gone is fully intact and ready to greet me whenever I’d like,” she says. “Part of the message of even the first song on the album is that your demons are with you in the beginning and they are with you in the end, and I don’t mean it in a bleak way. Maybe we can make friends sooner with this reality instead of running all the time.”
Now approaching 40, Gaga is focused on building a future with her fiancé, Michael Polansky and having children. “I used to drink a lot and smoke a lot, and I was always looking for an out. I used to call it the trapdoor. I used to be like, ‘I need an escape route.’” she admits. “Sometimes I worry people will say I’m boring these days, but honestly, thank God I’m boring. Thank God! Because I was living on the edge. I don’t know what was going to happen to me living that way. So the fact that I have these answers, on the one hand, I’m like, ‘Oh man, snooze fest!’ But actually, I’m so grateful. Because I found a sense of happiness and joy that is true to me.”
Lady Gaga also answered ELLE’s burning questions for ELLE’s Ask Me Anything video series, opening up about exploring jazz, date nights with her fiancé, and the moment she first felt like she made it—which had more to do with thrift shopping than actual record sales. Watch as Gaga reveals her favorite lyrics and explains why she loves watching her Little Monsters decode her easter eggs. Plus, she breaks down what makes her upcoming album, Mayhem, so sonically unique.
Lady Gaga on whether she’d consider dropping her stage name: “No! I love being Lady Gaga. I love being me. I became a star when I was 20. Everything gets reflected back to you that this persona is what makes you special.”
On how when making music Gaga sees a wall of color—a phenomenon known as synesthesia: “As I’m writing, it assembles in my brain, then through the recording it becomes a full piece of color,” she says. “Every song is a different shade. A lot of the songs on this album have a maroon, brown color to them. ‘Bad Romance’ was like that—it was reddish.”
I ask how she knows if a song is going to be a hit. “There are great records that I make that will have their moment of completion and I’ll go, it’s not a hit, but I love it,” she says. “Other records, I’ll just know that it has everything it needs. A hit is very powerful at conveying that the energy in the artist is going to get transferred into the listener.”
Lady Gaga on rediscovering herself through the making of Mayhem and the importance of embracing one’s true self: We talk about this separation of public and private self and how it has affected her over two decades. She admits to having “a broken feeling” about some of the mental health issues she has had in her life. “I feel some embarrassment, and that’s a very vulnerable thing to share. But I think through making this album, I was able to really love myself through all of that. Confronting the music was a way of confronting some of the things I’ve been through and going, ‘It’s OK that’s who you are.’ And celebrating that about myself, instead of trying to pretend it’s not real.”
She tells me that making Mayhem was a process of rediscovery. “The chaos I thought was long gone is fully intact and ready to greet me whenever I’d like. Part of the message of even the first song on the album is that your demons are with you in the beginning and they are with you in the end, and I don’t mean it in a bleak way. Maybe we can make friends sooner with this reality instead of running all the time.”
Lady Gaga on being herself and finding happiness with fiancé Michael Polansky: With Polansky, Gaga’s life has a different shade to it; it’s more wholesome. “He used to say to me when we first met, ‘You are a special human being when the cameras aren’t on you. And I get to see that all the time,’” she tells me.
Lady Gaga on the importance of family as she looks to start her own: Family has always been a steadying force for Gaga. But now, for the first time, she’s considering starting her own with Michael. “Family—it’s like the roots of the tree,” she says. “They grow long, and sometimes they’re mangled, and sometimes they’re full of water, and sometimes they’re thirsty. Family is what makes you who you are, and it also defines your need for change.”
Lady Gaga on what she would want her future child to understand about her life: It’s not an easy question, but she has a thoughtful answer: “That whatever my artistry means to them is totally up to them. Maybe other than that, I just did my best. And tried to stay true to myself along the way. It’s such an intense thing for kids coming into the world. And they’re told how to think and what to believe in and how to eat…I just want to let my kids find out who they are.” Unless, she jokes, they want to work in entertainment.
Lady Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky on navigating a relationship with someone in the public eye: I’m interested in what it’s like navigating a relationship with someone so famous. “Accepting that you won’t have the privacy others might have was the hardest part,” he says. “But Stefani’s comfort with it and patience with me has been amazing. Our relationship is probably a lot like everyone else’s. We just have to figure out how to do some of it in public. That makes it even more important for us to have strong friendships and close family relationships. We find normalcy where we can.”
Lady Gaga on the results of the recent U.S. presidential election: We meet six days after the results of the American election are announced. Mayhem has been unleashed on a global political stage—no one could accuse Gaga of not reading the room. “What’s bizarre is I did not write this album thinking that this would happen. I prayed it would not. But here we are.”
“The main thing is I have so much compassion and love for so many people who are afraid today. I want to acknowledge that I’m a very blessed person, and I feel grateful for so much in my life every day. I know for a lot of people, this election was devastating for their existence, so community is going to be the number one thing. I am one of many people who support the [LGBTQ and other marginalized] communities. And we’re not going down without a fight. We will stick together. It’s going to be hard, but I’m up for it. We’re up for it. And I just want everyone to know how deeply they’re loved and not invisible.”
Lady Gaga on the advice she’d give to young pop artists starting out in the industry: If she could tell these younger pop artists anything, “it would be that the whole you matters. Who you are at home is just as valuable as who you are when you’re onstage. And no matter what anyone says to you, you can value who you are outside of all of this.”

Lady Gaga reflects on her journey of overcoming unhealthy habits like drinking and smoking, which she previously used as a means of escape: The concept of “radical acceptance” comes up a lot during our chat, and feels key to the message she wants to convey about who she is and how she feels about her life and art right now. “I’m not going to torture myself,” she says. “I’m going to celebrate. I used to drink a lot and smoke a lot, and I was always looking for an out. I used to call it the trapdoor. I used to be like, ‘I need an escape route.’ And I stopped doing that. And I actually started feeling it. Being present. As an artist, it’s hard to go through that and not want to share that with my fans.”
Lady Gaga shares her hopes of shifting her perspective outward and discovering ways to support others as she approaches 40: Lady Gaga is just two years away from 40. So what is she most interested in understanding about herself today? “This is going to be the most weird answer. I’d like things to be less about me. The thing I’d like in my forties is to discover all the ways I can show up better for people in my life. All the ways that I can create positivity and joy.”

#RHOA: Kenya Moore Shuts Down Speculation She Appears in Season 16 Trailer: ‘Not Me’
After Bravo dropped the first look at new episodes earlier this week, social media sleuths claimed they recognized Kenya’s silhouette in one frame.
“Not me,” Kenya, 54, responded to the rumors in a Thursday, January 30, X post.
Kenya joined the cast of RHOA in 2012 and held onto a peach for six seasons. Ahead of season 16, Us Weekly confirmed in June 2024 that the Bravo star would be leaving the series. It was rumored that Kenya was suspended indefinitely after allegedly sharing explicit photos of show newcomer Brittany Eady. Kenya denied the claims.
“Nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail,” she wrote via X at the time. “I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.”
Kenya later noted that her “conscience was clean” amid the apparent scandal.
“Thank you for all the support #teamtwirl. My heart is full and my conscience is clean,” Kenya wrote in a June 2024 Instagram post. “So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide? The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p[orn] is 1000% untrue. I have proof and will share soon.”
Months later, Kenya exclusively told Us Weekly how she handled the fallout from the alleged drama.
“I know I’m a tough cookie,” she told Us in November 2024. “I think for me, in the history of me in this whole TV world or reality TV world, I think that what I say always comes to light. The truth always comes to light, and I’m always right. … No one wants to be in a situation where you’re painted in a way that you know isn’t the truth or is rooted in the truth.”
She continued, “No one wants to read awful things about themselves, not be able to speak up and not be able to tell your truth. I’ve learned in my age that I have survived much worse. It’s fun to be able to take anything negative and put it behind you and focus on only things that are positive.”
While the drama is now in Kenya’s rearview mirror, she hasn’t ruled out a potential reality TV return down the line.
“I never say never,” Kenya quipped. “Hell, I never say, ‘I’m not going to have another child.’ Who knows.”
Kenya shares 6-year-old daughter Brooklyn with ex-husband Marc Daly.

#HipHopNews: Drake And PARTYNEXTDOOR To Drop Joint Project, '$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,' On Valentine’s Day
Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s long-anticipated joint project finally has a name. On Monday (Feb. 3), the pair revealed a first listen of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, a fitting release for Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14).
The announcement came with a short trailer featuring Drake tucked away in the corner of a speakeasy. Seemingly lost in thought, the “God’s Plan” rapper is seen lip syncing to the song in the background, not paying any mind to the several women around him. PARTYNEXTDOOR croons, “I wanna be your favorite again / Let's reconnect on the jet on the way to where I live / Give you a second to get ready, then we right back into action.”
Alongside the trailer, Drake shared a link to his “Members Only” playlist — named after their collaboration on For All The Dogs — which basically consists of all of their greatest hits over the years. Starting with 2013’s “Over Here,” the collection of songs included fan favorites like “Recognize” and “Come and See Me.” There were also tracks from If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, like “Wednesday Night Interlude” and “Preach,” as well as “Since Way Back” from 2017’s More Life.
Drake’s “The Anita Max Win Tour” will be well underway by the time $ome $exy $ongs 4 U drops. So far, he has not confirmed whether there will be any supporting acts. Either way, the five-time Grammy Award winner starts the run at Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday (Feb. 4), followed by stops in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane before closing things out in Auckland, New Zealand.
Aside from the singles released during his back-and-forth with Kendrick Lamar and other loose tracks from 100 GIGS, Drake’s last full-length project was the aforementioned For All The Dogs. It served as home to “Rich Baby Daddy” featuring SZA and Sexyy Red, “Virginia Beach,” and the chart-topping “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole.
PARTYNEXTDOOR, on the other hand, shared PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 (P4) in April 2024. Spanning 14 tracks, it contained heavy hitters like “R e s e n t m e n t” and “N o C h i l l.”

GloRilla Selected By Rihanna For Expansive “Glo Up Close” Fenty Brand Campaign
GloRilla has a new bag. The Memphis rapper has been revealed as the face of Rihanna‘s Fenty empire. Hand-selected by the Bajan musician herself, the “Yeah Glo!” rhymer is the first-ever joint partner across the Fenty apparel and beauty brands for Spring 2025. She will appear in a series of campaigns that will debut new Savage X Fenty collections and showcase iconic Fenty Beauty products as well as Fenty Skin and Fenty Hair. In the “Glo Up Close” campaign, the Grammy-nominated musician will showcase the Spring 2025 collections while encouraging fans worldwide to embrace their own glow from head to toe.
“I’m beyond excited to be the first-ever joint partner for Fenty brands for Spring 2025! Rihanna has always been such an icon and inspiration and being chosen to represent her vision across Savage X Fenty and Fenty Beauty is an honor,” shared the 25-year-old in a statement.

Jay-Z faces explosive link in Diddy assault scandal
A significant development has emerged in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs, as attorney Tony Buzbee brings forward new allegations that now connect fellow music mogul Jay-Z to the expanding case. The situation has evolved from individual complaints into a complex web of legal challenges, with over 120 plaintiffs coming forward with serious accusations.
The most recent lawsuit centers around a disturbing account from 2015, involving an anonymous plaintiff identified as John Doe. The aspiring musician, who was 23 at the time, describes what began as a promising career opportunity but allegedly turned into a traumatic experience. According to the legal filing, the incident occurred during an after-party following the plaintiff’s scheduled performance as an opening act at various Los Angeles venues.
The lawsuit details how the evening allegedly unfolded: 1. The plaintiff received a drink, reportedly from Diddy; 2. The beverage was allegedly drugged, causing loss of consciousness; 3. Upon regaining awareness, the plaintiff witnessed group sexual activity; 4. Unwanted sexual advances allegedly occurred; 5. Threats regarding music industry success were reportedly made when resistance was shown.
The magnitude of allegations against Diddy has grown significantly since 2023. The accusations now include: 1. Multiple instances of drugging victims; 2. Sexual assault allegations from both men and women; 3. Claims involving minors; 4. Allegations of threats and coercion; 5. Reports of organized criminal activity.
Beyond civil lawsuits, Diddy faces serious criminal charges that paint a darker picture of the allegations. These include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and charges related to interstate transportation for prostitution. The denial of bail underscores the gravity of these accusations and suggests substantial evidence supporting the charges.
The connection to Jay-Z marks a significant expansion of the case. As the only celebrity named as an alleged accomplice in the sexual assault allegations, his involvement adds another layer of complexity to an already intricate legal battle. The implications of these allegations extend beyond individual reputations to potentially reshape power dynamics within the music industry.
The entertainment sector finds itself at a crucial juncture as these allegations surface. The case highlights several concerning aspects of the music industry: 1. The abuse of power by influential figures; 2. The vulnerability of aspiring artists; 3. The potential existence of organized exploitation; 4. The role of industry connections in perpetuating harmful behavior; 5. The challenges victims face in seeking justice.
Attorney Tony Buzbee’s approach to the case demonstrates a methodical gathering of evidence and testimonies. The representation of 120 individuals suggests a pattern of behavior that extends beyond isolated incidents. The legal strategy appears focused on establishing systematic misconduct rather than treating each case in isolation.
This case has sparked crucial conversations about power dynamics in entertainment. The allegations have forced the industry to confront uncomfortable truths about how success and influence might be weaponized against vulnerable individuals pursuing their dreams in music.
The current situation reflects a broader pattern of accountability in the entertainment industry. Since the #MeToo movement gained momentum, various sectors of entertainment have faced increased scrutiny regarding sexual misconduct and abuse of power. This case represents another significant moment in that ongoing evolution.
The public reaction to these allegations has been mixed, with many struggling to reconcile the public personas of these music industry giants with the serious nature of the accusations. Media coverage has expanded as new details emerge, highlighting the challenge of balancing fair reporting with sensitivity to alleged victims.
The resolution of this case could have far-reaching consequences for how the music industry handles power imbalances and protects vulnerable individuals. Several potential outcomes could emerge: 1. Industry-wide policy changes; 2. Enhanced protection mechanisms for aspiring artists; 3. More rigorous oversight of industry gatherings and events; 4. Improved reporting systems for misconduct; 5. Stricter consequences for abuse of power.
As the legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on ensuring justice for alleged victims while maintaining due process. The involvement of high-profile figures like Jay-Z and Diddy ensures this case will likely influence future discussions about accountability in the entertainment industry.
The unfolding situation serves as a reminder that status and influence should not shield individuals from facing consequences for alleged misconduct. As more details emerge, the industry and public alike watch closely to see how this landmark case might reshape the landscape of power and responsibility in entertainment.

Joe Biden’s triumphant return to CAA sparks excitement
The landscape of post-presidential careers has witnessed a significant shift as former president Joe Biden announces his return to Creative Artists Agency, marking a strategic move that could reshape his influence in the private sector. This reunion with one of Hollywood’s most prestigious talent agencies suggests an expanding role for Biden beyond traditional political spheres. The decision comes at a time when the intersection of politics, entertainment and media continues to evolve, offering new platforms for former leaders to shape public discourse.
Biden’s previous partnership with CAA from 2017 to 2020 proved remarkably successful, resulting in his memoir becoming a bestseller and launching him into a nationwide tour that connected him with diverse American audiences.

Marvel Considers Bringing Back Jonathan Majors?
Two years ago actor Jonathan Majors lost the pivotal role of Kang in the Marvel comics universe, shortly after his conviction on two misdemeanor domestic violence charges for assaulting his ex girlfriend, Grace Jabbari
Now Marvel bosses are considering bringing him back. According to Screen Geek
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is considering bringing Jonathan Majors back to the MCU after the studio cut ties with the actor.
According to our sources, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is considering bringing Jonathan Majors back into the MCU. The idea is for Majors to appear in a future Marvel project to wrap up some loose ends with Kang and close the character’s story.
Kevin Feige and the studio worked hard to restructure Avengers: The Kang Dynasty into Avengers: Doomsday. The new take replaced Majors’ Kang character with Robert Downey Jr., who will now be playing Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man in Avengers: Doomsday.
Majors is set to appear in the upcoming film Magazine Dreams, which was previously delayed by the aforementioned legal issues, and he’s also attached to star in Martin Villeneuve’s film Merciless. So, whether or not he does make the return to the MCU, audiences will still see a few Majors projects in the near future.

Michael Jordan's son Marcus arrested on drug and DUI charges in Florida
Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, has found himself in legal trouble once again.
The 34-year-old was arrested on Monday in Orange County, Florida, and faces multiple serious charges, including driving under the influence (DUI), possession of cocaine and resisting arrest.
According to TMZ, he was booked into the Orange County Jail, and his bond was set at $4,000.
Authorities have yet to release full details regarding the circumstances that led to his arrest, but sources confirm that Jordan was pulled over late at night before being taken into custody
This is not Marcus Jordan's first brush with the law. In 2012, he was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska, on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing justice after an altercation outside a hotel.
He later pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace and was required to pay a fine.
Beyond his legal troubles, Jordan is well known for his high-profile relationships. His most talked-about romance was with Larsa Pippen, a reality television star and the ex-wife of NBA great Scottie Pippen.
Their relationship drew significant media attention due to their 16-year age difference and the underlying history between their fathers-Michael and Scottie-who were legendary teammates on the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan and Pippen's relationship lasted for over a year before they called it quits in early 2024. Reports indicated that the two were on different life paths, though Pippen later spoke positively about Jordan, noting that their split was amicable.
Following their breakup, Jordan was linked to Ashley Stevenson and Nicole Murphy, though none of these relationships have been confirmed to be serious.
News of Jordan's arrest quickly spread across social media, sparking conversations about his troubled past and his ties to basketball royalty.

NFL Commissioner Says League Will Continue Diversity Policies Despite Trump’s Efforts To End DEI Initiatives
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has announced that the league will not support President Trump’s nationwide call to end DEI initiatives.
When asked about the issue in a recent interview, he stated:
“We’re not in this because it’s a trend. It’s about attracting the best talents… I think we’ll continue those efforts.”
Goodell’s stance on maintaining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices has reportedly sparked mixed reactions among NFL fans. While some praised his commitment, others threatened to stop watching games if the league continues its DEI efforts.
His decision stands in contrast to many major corporations—including Meta, Target, Walmart, and Amazon—which have announced plans to scale back or eliminate DEI hiring practices altogether.

Allison Holker Says tWitch Was In ‘A Constant State Of High’ Before His Passing + Left Her w/ $1 Million Tax Debt & ‘Overwhelming’ Bills
Allison Holker is telling all about her relationship with late husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, in her new book, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, released today, February 4.
The widow of the beloved TV personality reportedly recalls discovering—through security cameras—that tWitch had secretly increased his smoking, a habit she believes contributed to his 2022 death by suicide. She writes:
“What I didn’t know until I surveyed our backyard security cameras was that Stephen’s smoking had ratcheted up… He was smoking in the morning and at night. It’s almost as if he used one strain of pot at the start of the day to become tWitch, then used another at night to come down from that persona. To the best of my knowledge, nobody knew. He was really good at hiding it… If I had been aware of the extent of his usage, I would have gone into protector mode right away.”
Allison shares that, had she known, she would have encouraged her husband of nine years to enter rehab. She also claims that tWitch was allegedly “sneaking out” between takes on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to smoke.
The So You Think You Can Dance alum first spoke about tWitch’s alleged struggles with drug use earlier this year while promoting her book. She asserts that, along with weed, she had also found other substances among his personal belongings—ones she had no prior knowledge of.
Elsewhere in the book, Allison addresses misconceptions about the financial state tWitch left her in, writing:
“It’s a misconception that I inherited Stephen’s wealth. The reality is quite different… He had given away substantial sums of money to family and friends and spent recklessly on drugs and his weird art collections. The tax bill he left me with for the year he died was $1 million. Contrary to popular belief, I am not profiting significantly from his residuals, as Stephen’s work primarily involved reality shows, where they are minimal… I claimed them mostly to ensure the taxes were properly paid. The bills he left for me were overwhelming.”

Keke Palmer Wants To Revert To Her Real Name 'More Than Anything'
Keke Palmer wants to ditch her popular moniker for her birth name, Lauren. In a resurfaced interview, she revealed that her stage name was a suggestion from her former manager who overheard her mother calling her "Keke."
"I actually don't prefer to go by Keke instead of Lauren," Palmer said. "I would love to go back to it more than anything."
Keke Palmer was not alone in wanting to ditch her popular moniker for her real name. Similarly, Emma Stone prefers to use her given name, Emily. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she explained that when she joined SAG-AFTRA, the name Emily Stone was already taken, prompting her to adopt the stage name "Emma Stone."
"For some reason, I was like, 'I can't do it anymore. Just call me Emily,' " Stone said. "People that I work with call me Emily when I get to know them."
Aside from Palmer and Stone, other celebrities have embraced different stage names. Will Ferrell, whose real name is William Ferrell, chose his stage name to avoid confusion with another actor named William Curry. Michael Keaton's birth name is Michael Douglas, but he adopted Keaton to avoid conflict with the famous actor of the same name.
Meanwhile, Jamie Foxx's decision to ditch his birth name, Eric Bishop, was part of his strategy during his early career to increase his chances of getting picked on stand-up comedy open mic nights.
"I actually don't prefer to go by Keke instead of Lauren," Palmer said. "I would love to go back to it more than anything."
Keke Palmer was not alone in wanting to ditch her popular moniker for her real name. Similarly, Emma Stone prefers to use her given name, Emily. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she explained that when she joined SAG-AFTRA, the name Emily Stone was already taken, prompting her to adopt the stage name "Emma Stone."
"For some reason, I was like, 'I can't do it anymore. Just call me Emily,' " Stone said. "People that I work with call me Emily when I get to know them."
Aside from Palmer and Stone, other celebrities have embraced different stage names. Will Ferrell, whose real name is William Ferrell, chose his stage name to avoid confusion with another actor named William Curry. Michael Keaton's birth name is Michael Douglas, but he adopted Keaton to avoid conflict with the famous actor of the same name.

Kanye Lost $20M Tokyo Concert Deal After Shocking Grammys Antics: 'He's Just Not Welcome Anymore'
In a series of unexpected events at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori found themselves in hot water. According to reports, the couple's stunt on the red carpet might end up costing the rapper a lucrative $20 million international concert deal.
"The investors in Japan who are backing the concerts are extremely upset by this. It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows," a local source told the Daily Mail. The same source described the incident as "creepy beyond belief" and noted that it has been met with horror in Japan, a country experiencing a significant cultural awakening regarding women's rights.
The incident in question occurred at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena Sunday night, February 2. For music's biggest night, West donned his usual all-black ensemble with sunglasses and a diamond chain while Censori arrived in a dramatic black floor-length fur coat.
According to a lip reader cited by the Daily Mail, West encouraged Censori to "make a scene," instructing her to "drop it behind you and then turn" before she disrobed completely to reveal sheer dress with nothing underneath.
The backlash was swift and severe. The stunt has made investors in Japan reconsider their support for West's scheduled performances at Tokyo Dome in May. "What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control, which is utterly unacceptable," the source explained. "He has completely culturally misjudged Japan. He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people toward these activities. He's just not welcome anymore."
This controversy could hit West hard, as he has been living almost full-time in Japan for about a year. With the funding for his concerts now in jeopardy, the repercussions could go beyond just financial losses. The source added, "Kanye is just f***king up every opportunity that comes to him."
As of now, representatives for Kanye West have not responded to requests for comments. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and whether West will be able to salvage the concert deal or his reputation in Japan.

Woman Who Refused To Leave Pakistan After Failed Marriage Is Finally Returning To United States
Onijah Andrew Robinson, 33, from New York, traveled to Karachi in October 2024 to meet and marry Nidal Ahmed Memon – a 19-year-old Pakistani man.
But upon arrival, Memon rejected her and explained that his family was opposed to the marriage – leaving her “stranded” for several days in Karachi as her tourist visa expired, she claims. It was reported that money was raised for her to return home but she refused.
Now, she has taken social media by storm with her wild tale, becoming a sensation on TikTok.
After facing the rejection from her alleged lover, Robinson had nowhere to go, so began aimlessly wandering around Karachi. She lingered around Mamon’s home for a while but found that the entire family had vacated and locked up the house.
Since her story appeared online, Robinson even appeared to organize a press conference in Pakistan, where she was heard brazenly stating demands such as: “I’m asking for 100K or more. I need 20K by this week, in my pockets, in cash.
“That’s a demand to the government.”
At first, it appeared she was asking for the money so that she could stay and start a life in Pakistan. But amid the flurry of thousands of videos, it was unclear as to who she was demanding the money from, and for what purpose.
In several clips, she is heard adamantly expressing her desire to improve vital services in Pakistan such as infrastructure and local bus services.
In another, she is captured asking for “two thousand or more every week”, “more than five thousand dollars in USD”, “I want 20K up front, 5K-10K to stay here every week, and I want those demands from the government right away”, according to the spate of videos in circulation on TikTok.
At one stage, she announced she had plans to travel with Memon to Dubai and was planning on starting a family – despite being rejected, stating: “Make sure you get this on your camera, I’m married to Nidal Ahmed Memon, we are moving to Dubai very soon. We’re going to have our baby in Dubai.”
When probed further on her declaration, she refused to explain any further, stating it was against her religion to “tell you [the world] my business”.
As of Monday, Robinson is believed to be on her way home to the U.S., but it is unclear how, and who is enabling her to get there.
According to News18, she even received help from a non-governmental organization (NGO) while in Pakistan – though it is unclear who – and they reportedly offered to pay for her return ticket to the U.S. – an offer she is said to have turned down.
Meanwhile, man claiming to be her son, Jeremiah Robinson, gave an interview to Pakistani TV where he said his mother suffers from a “mental bipolar disorder”, and said the marriage to Memon never occurred.
“I’m trying to help her as her son to come back to the U.S. She was only supposed to go to Pakistan to meet him and his family”, he states in the clip.
The woman has previous with trespassing too. Robinson was arrested and faced charges for entering a premises post warning in an unrelated incident four years ago, according to Charleston County, South Carolina, court records.

White House preparing executive order to abolish the Department of Education
The planned order follows years of campaign promises from President Donald Trump to abolish the department — something he cannot do without congressional approval.
The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.
President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal agency without the approval of Congress.
The planned order follows years of campaign promises from Trump to abolish the federal Education Department, which was established in 1979, during President Jimmy Carter's administration.
In September 2023, the then-candidate posted a video to social media saying, “One other thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.”
“In total American society pours more than $1 trillion a year into public education systems but instead of being at the top of the list, we are literally right smack — guess what — at the bottom,” Trump said earlier in the video.

Trump's proposal was adopted into the Republican Party platform last summer, and was an idea also pushed by Project 2025.
The department says its elementary and secondary programs serve more than 50 million students in about 98,000 public schools and 32,000 private schools. The department also provides "grant, loan, and work-study assistance to more than 12 million postsecondary students," it says.
Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association, a major labor group, warned in a statement Tuesday that Trump's forthcoming order would hurt students and families, especially in vulnerable populations.
“If it became a reality, Trump’s power grab would steal resources for our most vulnerable students, explode class sizes, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and out of reach for middle class families, take away special education services for students with disabilities, and gut student civil rights protections," she said. "Americans did not vote for, and do not support, ending the federal government’s commitment to ensuring equal educational opportunities for every child."
Republican support for eliminating the department started soon after it was founded, with President Ronald Reagan advocating for dismantling it. Republicans in Congress have not been able to pass legislation to do so, however.
Last month, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and David Rouzer, R-N.C., filed bills that would eliminate the department. Massie's measure has garnered 27 co-sponsors, all Republicans. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., introduced a similar bill in the last Congress and his office said it expects him to do the same in the current one.
Republicans control the House and Senate, but any effort to abolish the department would face major obstacles in the upper chamber, where 60 votes are required to overcome a filibuster and advance to a final vote. Given their narrow majority, Republicans would need Democratic support to do that, which would make it unlikely for such a bill to pass.
Last week, Trump signed another education-related order to expand school choice, directing the Education Department to issue guidance to states within 60 days about how they can use federal funds to boost school choice programs in their states.
School choice has long been a cornerstone of the GOP agenda, with a significant number of Republican-led states freeing up more funding in recent years for low-income families to send their students to private or charter schools.
In recent years, “cleaning out” or fully abolishing the federal Department of Education has also become a leading Republican policy plank and was popular among several of the Republican candidates who challenged Trump in last year's presidential primary.
In the Republican presidential primary, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy called for eliminating the Department of Education while on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania in 2023. And former United Nations Amb. Nikki Haley said she would “clean out the Department of Education” if elected during a 2023 campaign stop in New Hampshire.
In a July 2024 campaign email, Trump laid out his other priorities for American education, which included cutting federal funding for any schools or programs pushing “critical race theory,” opening civil rights investigations into schools discriminating against Asian Americans, implementing a new credentialing system to certify teachers who “embrace patriotic values,” and “find[ing] and remov[ing] radicals who have infiltrated the federal Department of Education.”
Killer Mike Sues Security Firms for Wrongful Arrest at 2024 Grammys
*Killer Mike is suing the private security firms hired for the 2024 Grammys, blaming them for his wrongful arrest at the event.
According to his lawsuit, security stopped him on his way to the red carpet despite his multiple wins and proper credentials. He claims the security companies (S&S Labor Force Inc. and JRM Private Security) gave their staff excessive authority, leading to an unlawful citizen’s arrest where he was physically restrained in public, causing emotional distress and humiliation. As a result, he was detained by police for hours, missing the chance to present an award. Though charges were later dropped, Mike argues the incident damaged his reputation and is seeking damages, TMZ reports.
We reported earlier that Killer Mike spoke to Big Tigger on his radio show shortly after the incident to discuss his encounter with police at the 2024 Grammys. In a clip that went viral amid the awards show, the rapper is seen handcuffed and escorted by Los Angeles police out of the Crypto.com Arena after allegedly physically assaulting a staffer.
Mike, whose real name is Michael Render, won three Grammy awards before his arrest. He was booked for misdemeanor battery “on a citizen’s arrest” and ultimately released on his own recognizance.
The activist denied reports that he was “carried out” of the ceremony, saying, “I wasn’t carried out of nowhere,” he told Big Tigger.
“We not even gon’ allow you to ask that question. We gon’ get back to the real question,” he continued.
“How did he do it? Three Grammys, twenty years in the game, forty-eight years old, beat out everybody in the thang! He beat the best of the best. So, all you can say is he’s one of the best,” Killer Mike added.
Killer Mike won the “Best Rap Album” award for “Michael”, “Best Rap Performance” award for “Scientists & Engineers”, and the “Best Rap Song” award for “Scientists & Engineers” during the 66th GRAMMY Awards.
