Fans shocked by KSI’s “cold” warning to Tyson Fury before Tommy fight Mo SyedKSI’s fans are shocked by the YouTube star’s “cold” warning message to Tyson Fury before fighting his younger brother Tommy Fury. After months of waiting and anticipation, KSI finally stepped in the ring and went blow for blow with Tommy Fury on October 14. Going into the fight, KSI was aiming to do what his rival Jake Paul couldn’t and knock out Fury after he beat ‘The Problem Child’ earlier in 2023 — all to prove once and for all he’s the best influencer boxer. While ultimately the fight went in Fury’s favor, winning by a controversial majority decision — which was then corrected to a unanimous decision after one of the judges submitted an ‘incorrect’ scorecard — fans are shocked by KSI’s bone-chilling message to Tyson Fury before the fight. KSI fans shocked by “cold” message to Tyson Fury Before the fight, boxing’s dominant heavyweight Tyson Fury was overseeing KSI getting his hands wrapped before putting on his gloves — a common tradition in combat sports. While watching him getting his hands wrapped, KSI had a warning message for Tyson, which has left fans shocked. “I’m about to do a madness to your brother,” he said. “Sorry?” Tyson responded, to which KSI repeated himself. “I’m about to do a madness to your bro, I want you to know that.” To much surprise, Tyson’s response wasn’t hostile or antagonistic at all, simply wishing the YouTuber good luck in the ring. “Good luck. That’s what we’ve come for innit? To do a madness to people, you’re both getting paid well for, so.” It’s fair to say KSI’s words left some fans shocked. “Not going to lie, this is cold,” said one. “Imagine speaking to Tyson Fury like that.” While KSI ultimately lost, the YouTube star has since sent an official appeal to the PBA, the governing body that sanctioned the fight, hoping to overturn the “outrageous” decision.

Fans shocked to see Taylor Swift and “obsessed” Travis Kelce enjoy PDA at charity gala Instagram: taylahschildofficialTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen enjoying a moment of blissful PDA while attending a charity event held by Patrick Mahomes’ foundation. On April 27, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended a charity gala held by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. While the foundation’s mission is “dedicated to improving the lives of children,” they also aim to provide resources for communities as well. During the gala, Taylor and Travis could be seen being loved up as they enjoyed their time. At one point, Travis even nuzzled his face into Taylor’s arm and neck, giving her plenty of kisses. Fans of the couple have since reacted in shock at a video of Travis’ excessive PDA moment where Taylor seemed unfazed. “Y’all what the actual f**k, oh my god, what the f**k!” exclaimed one fan on X. YALL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCKSKDJDJDJDDJD pic.twitter.com/prFHR4Q6OJ — killa👩🦽 (@taysservant) April 30, 2024 “Tay wrote ‘The Prophecy’ and the universe said ‘Hold tight ma’am.

Though some fans mentioned that the two needed “a room,” others noted how “madly in love” they looked and expressed their happiness for Taylor being in a relationship she “deserves.” In another viral video from the charity event, Travis was praised for how his demeanor “relaxes” Taylor, so much so that his security lowered his guard. “Okay we’re looking at how Taylor relaxes etc BUT have you seen his security guy?? He literally relaxes on the wall and takes out his phone when Travis is back with her,” wrote a fan who reposted the video to X. okay we’re looking at how taylor relaxes etc BUT have you seen his security guy?? he literally relaxes on the wall and takes out his phone when travis is back with her pic.twitter.com/eBOcx0JmJi — carla 🫶🏼 {a tourtured poet} (@hand1stfearless) April 29, 2024 Travis, who spoke at the gala, also called Taylor his “significant other” while announcing that she would be donating Eras Tour tickets to the charity’s auction.

Fans slam David Dobrik’s VIEWS podcast for increasingly excluding Jason Nash – Dexerto
Fans slam David Dobrik’s VIEWS podcast for increasingly excluding Jason Nash YouTube: VIEWSYouTube star David Dobrik returned to content creation after nearly a year of inactivity with a fresh start to his VIEWS podcast — but fans are upset that a key member seems to be left out of the series more and more. While Dobrik is best known for his high-energy vlogs, which he films alongside his friend group, the “Vlog Squad,” his podcast has been a constant throughout his year of inactivity amid the current health crisis. Usually, Dobrik records his podcast episodes with Vlog Squad member and fellow content creator Jason Nash, as well as his assistant and a few other guests who pop in from time to time. While the podcast was once in audio-only format, Dobrik has since given it a serious upgrade, and is now filming episodes in a special souped-up studio right in his own home. That’s not all; Dobrik has also invited on some A-list celebs, including the likes of Halsey, Dillon Francis and even Diplo — but fans are noticing that one key member of the VIEWS crew has been pushed to the side. As of late, viewers feel that Jason Nash has not been taking on his usual role as Dobrik’s sidekick, and is instead getting “pushed out” by the YouTuber’s constant guests. The VIEWS podcast used to feature casual discussions between Dobrik, Jason, and co., who would joke around about their daily lives and occasionally delve into heavier topics. Now, the vlogging star has turned his production into a bit of a talk show — and fans aren’t here for the change. The comments section underneath the latest VIEWS episode is full of fans expressing their displeasure with this current arrangement, and are even taking issue with where Jason is sitting in the studio, as he is easily talked over by sitting away from the rest of the group. “This podcast isn’t entertaining without Jason, and David’s laugh is like Jimmy Fallon’s,” one user wrote. “He is laughing so hard at something that isn’t that funny.” “This supposed to be a podcast between Jason and David,” another commented. “It’s turning into David’s talk show while Jason sits in the background. If David wanted a talk show, he should have made it separate from the podcast.” David has yet to respond to these comments, as well as several other issues that have been brought up against him as of late. There’s no telling if he’ll switch up the show’s current format or not, but for now, it seems the consensus regarding his new project has not been positive.

Fans realize you can buy classic Pizza Hut cups after company goes viral on TikTok – Dexerto
Fans realize you can buy classic Pizza Hut cups after company goes viral on TikTok TikTok: cambromfgTikTok users are taking a trip down memory lane after discovering Pizza Hut’s classic red cups are for sale as the company behind them goes viral. Pizza Hut may be better known for its delicious hot meals, but TikTok users are obsessing over something else once found across all stores: the iconic red plastic Cambro cup. Not only does it “sound so cool” when dropped on the ground, but fans swear the cup can make any drink taste better and “colder”… and there is the added bonus that the cups never seem to break. Luckily, now lovers of the Cambro cup can buy their own — the company behind the iconic red utensil taking to TikTok to offer some insight into their beloved product. Responding to a TikTok questioning the secrets behind the cup, the company said, “The color wear tumblers date back to the early ‘80s. That ruby-red color not be missed, they were in many, many restaurants.” “They’re made of a SAN plastic, which is very durable [and] very, very hard to break,” Cambro continued, revealing why the cups always remained unbroken even after multiple drops. And it turns out, there might actually be a scientific reason behind why so many claim the cups made their drinks taste better; “The material is also a little bit more insulated than typical plastic tumblers which make that cold drink just a little bit colder.” Viewers were stoked to find out that the cups were still around and could in fact be bought straight from the company, Cambro. One person wrote, “Hold on, on my way to replace all my Crate and Barrel kitchenware with Cambro cups. I want my shelves to look like a 1994 Pizza Hut baby.” Another admitted to a cheaper method of obtaining the cups; “As a server, we steal these cups and use them in our apartments so thank you.” Cambro, however, didn’t seem to mind missing out on the extra income, replying, “Our lips are sealed.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Fans shocked after Chinese YouTuber Li Ziqi returns from legal battle with new look YouTube: 李子柒 LiziqiChinese YouTuber Li Ziqi shocked fans across the world after returning to social media debuting an entirely new look, causing some to speculate if she got plastic surgery. Li Ziqi is a prominent Chinese influencer who has gained worldwide acclaim for her relaxing videos showcasing her idyllic life in the countryside. Many of Li’s videos show the YouTuber going about her daily chores in rural Sichuan, harvesting plants and interacting with animals before creating delectable-looking food or other products from whatever she reaped that day. Li’s videos rose to prominence during the global issue in 2020, with many viewers envying her charmed life in the country — but now, she’s sparking controversy after returning to her channel in the wake of a two-year hiatus. YouTuber Li Ziqi sparks speculation after drastic transformation In 2021, Li’s content came to a sudden halt when the influencer got into a legal dispute with her agent. The two sued and counter-sued each other a number of times, and Li hasn’t properly uploaded to her channel in two years. However, the influencer made a return to social media on September 15 in a video that’s taking the net by storm. In the video, Li wears a white t-shirt and boasts a shockingly different look than she used to. In fact, some netizens are convinced that she got surgery as a result of her online stardom, with some users pointing out that her eyes look far bigger than they used to. “Her eyes and chin are different from before, and it appears her face has been injected with hyaluronic acid. She eventually became an internet celebrity,” one user said, as reported by the South China Morning Post. “Why does she have to change? She looked beautiful, too.” In the video, Li opened up about her plans for more content. “In the future, I will insist on producing more quality content on my ways to tell Chinese farming culture and rural stories,” she said. Thus far, she has yet to upload on her channel, leaving users wondering when they’ll see her grand return.

Fans rally to help IShowSpeed avoid YouTube ban after wardrobe malfunction – Dexerto
Fans rally to help IShowSpeed avoid YouTube ban after wardrobe malfunction YouTube: IShowSpeedFans are rallying to help streaming star IShowSpeed avoid getting banned on YouTube after he suffered a wardrobe malfunction that took social media by storm. IShowSpeed is one of YouTube’s most prominent streamers — but his presence on the platform might soon be at an end. Last month, Speed was rushed to the hospital due to a debilitating sinus infection. After a couple of weeks, he finally made his return to streaming on August 15… but his broadcasts were short-lived. The very next day, Speed took to YouTube to stream Five Nights at Freddy’s when he got jumpscared by one of the game’s animatronics. In response, the streamer turned his fright into a taunt by pelvic thrusting at the character — and accidentally flashed his entire audience in the process. Speed instantly realized what had happened and appeared to end the broadcast after sitting down, saying, “Oh my god.” Fans urge YouTube not to ban IShowSpeed after wardrobe malfunction Now, fans are worried that their favorite streamer might receive a permanent ban from YouTube due to the incident. YouTube’s policies prohibit “the depiction of clothed or unclothed genitals, breasts, or buttocks that are meant for sexual gratification,” including “the depiction of sexual acts, or fetishes that are meant for sexual gratification.” However, viewers are doing everything in their power to make sure that Speed doesn’t get the ban hammer. As told by TikToker NoahGlennCarter, fans are urging each other to spread hashtags like #savespeed in order to help keep his account alive “by any means necessary.” A slew of posts on Twitter show fans explaining the situation as a genuine “accident” and are pleading with YouTube to be lenient in their handling of Speed’s case. This wouldn’t be the first time Speed has received a permaban from a streaming platform, if he does end up receiving a permanent suspension from YouTube. In fact, the entire reason Speed moved to YouTube in the first place was due to him receiving a permaban from Twitch back in 2021 following his sexist outburst during a broadcast with Adin Ross. There’s a fair few netizens joking that Speed might move over to Kick if he does get the boot from YouTube. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what repercussions Speed receives due to the ordeal.

Dr Disrespect spotted in full costume at baseball game & fans can’t believe it – Dexerto
Dr Disrespect spotted in full costume at baseball game & fans can’t believe it YouTube: Dr DisrespectThe doctor is in… Petco Park that is. “The most ruthless, athletic competitor in video game history” was caught on camera at a recent ball game. Apparently, when Dr Disrespect’s not rejecting 100K offers for knives in CS:GO or challenging controversial comedians to Muay Thai fights, he’s watching baseball. Photos of the former Twitch-turned-YouTube streamer (sorry to fans of the Doc) at the Padres V Pirates game have been posted on social media. The Doc decided to spectate in his full streaming get-up. His fame has spread far enough that the Petco Park operations team even put the man on the Jumbotron. The image shows Dr Disrespect in full costume, including his famous mullet, “prototype Google sunglasses,” and tactical vest. In an apparent show of disrespect to the doctor of it, the Jumbotron identified him as a YouTube streamer. Fans in the comments quickly made their dissent known, sardonically, of course. “The two-time back-to-back 1993 1994 blockbuster video game champion wouldn’t fit so they just used YouTube streamer,” one replied, referencing a common joke made by the Doc. “YouTube streamer, what a massive understatement,” said another. Others called him a “loving god” and claimed the team at Petco Park “didn’t know who they were talking about.” Dr Disrespect is even being credited with inspiring the Padres to win the match by some fans. Dr Disrespect apparently didn’t mind that the Jumbotron’s titling was on the humble side. He retweeted the pictures himself, albeit with no comment. Petco Park themselves posted an image of the Doc in the crowd. The mystery shrouding his famous Twitch ban apparently wasn’t a deterrent.

Fans pretend not to recognize Noah & Dixie in viral Omegle trend – Dexerto
Fans pretend not to recognize Noah & Dixie in viral Omegle trend YouTube: Dixie D’AmelioDespite being two of TikTok’s biggest superstars, influencers Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio are being spurned by fans on Omeagle — and it’s turned into a massively viral trend. Noah Beck and Dixie D’Amelio have become one of TikTok’s most prominent couples, officially revealing their relationship status in October after ample speculation from fans that they had been dating in secret. With Dixie rising to prominence in the music industry and Noah Beck achieving internet fame via the Sway House, these creators boast an impressive 68 million TikTok followers between the two of them; but some viewers are pretending not to know who they are. It seems that Dixie and Noah have been perusing Omegle for potential content or to interact with their fans, as the service randomly pairs up users with each other for the purpose of “talking to strangers online.” View this post on Instagram However, it doesn’t look like the TikTokers weren’t with the screaming fans they likely anticipated; instead, a few viewers have been pretending not to know the influencers, leading to some seriously awkward moments that have gone viral on social media. It doesn’t look like the TikTokers waited around for an explanation, either. Instead, they quickly shut down the conversation and left in many of the clips, leading to shock from the internet pranksters. “Humble Noah Beck and Dixie, guys, if you find them!” one of the jokesters said after the two left the video chat. View this post on Instagram The mastermind behind the “humble them” video later uploaded an explanation for the prank to TikTok, where she gave context behind the call and claimed that it was just a joke with no ill intentions toward the influencers. Read More: Top 10 most viewed TikTok creators of 2020 – “All of this was a joke, and we just wanted it to be funny,” she explained. “And act like we didn’t know them. But no hate towards them. Whatever. …it was just a trend to act like we didn’t know them. So we did!” Thus far, a few videos of the trend have taken the TikTok world by storm, with many commenters seeming equally shocked that Dixie and Noah simply left after not being recognized. What’s your take on this unexpected trend? Do you think it’s right for viewers to try and “humble” internet stars, or do you think these pranksters are taking things too far?

Fans rally as Sykkuno, Dream, and more are snubbed by Twitter Verified – Dexerto
Fans rally as Sykkuno, Dream, and more are snubbed by Twitter Verified Instagram: sykkuwu / callmecarsonytOn December 2, Twitter rolled out a huge mass verification, where many accounts of top gamers, streaming personalities and more were finally verified after a rather long wait. But some fans were left frustrated when Twitter seemed to gloss over popular creators like Sykkuno, Dream, and CallMeCarson. Verification on Twitter is often regarded as a huge achievement for rising creators. That little blue tick is generally a marker that someone is making it big, leading to frequent campaigns led by fans for their favorite creators to be granted verified status. Twitter decided to grant several wishes all at once on December 2 when they verified a huge number of accounts in one go. One such account was that of Corpse Husband, a YouTuber who has been on the platform for a few years, but experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity this year following the Among Us hype. But not everyone was celebrating, as among the chaos of fans and creators rejoicing at their new-found verification, some big names were left behind. Popular streamer Sykkuno trended on the site with the hashtag ‘VerifySykkuno’ as fans vented their frustration about the snub. “Do it, he deserves it,” one fan wrote. https://twitter.com/Cynthia05514427/status/1334392900189376513 Fellow streamer Valkyrae tweeted a message in support of the internet campaign, which Sykkuno even retweeted from his account. Other popular creators that found themselves snubbed by the Twitter Verified account included Minecraft YouTuber Dream, and comedy YouTuber CallMeCarson, who each tweeted their own tongue-in-cheek messages calling out Twitter. Amid the disarray, instead of verifying YouTuber Karl Jacobs’ account, they accidentally verified the wrong Karl Jacobs with just 200 followers, leading to an onslaught of replies from fellow creators finding the bizarre situation hilarious, including Mr Beast. While this was one of the biggest verification sprees recently, there is no doubt that another one will be right around the corner. Fans of the huge creators who were snubbed this time around may be in for a slightly longer wait, but with creators like Corpse Husband getting that coveted blue tick, people are getting their hopes up for the next line of verified creators.

Fans petition to get Inquisitor Ghost a skin in Call of Duty after his supposed death – Dexerto
Fans petition to get Inquisitor Ghost a skin in Call of Duty after his supposed death TikTok: Inquisitore3Call of Duty fans are petitioning for Inquisitor Ghost’s famous rendition of Ghost to be added as an operator skin following the popular cosplayer’s supposed death. Inquisitor Ghost is a popular Italian cosplayer on TikTok whose content surrounds his take on Simon “Ghost” Riley from the Call of Duty franchise. As his name suggests, Inquisitor Ghost mixed The Inquisitor from Star Wars with the Call of Duty operator. Allegedly false accusations were made by another TikToker named ‘titoisactingbadly’ and their girlfriend, accusing him of purportedly messaging an underaged girl. Shortly after the accusations were made towards Inquisitor Ghost, he started a TikTok live, where it’s speculated that he took his own life. However, no official documentation has yet come forward confirming his death. Since news of this live stream surfaced, his TikTok account can no longer be accessed. There is speculation that this is due to TikTok’s guidelines surrounding certain topics; however, others suspect the account could have been potentially removed by a friend or family member. Inquisitor Ghost’s Instagram account has also disappeared following the incident. Inquisitor Ghost operator skin petition surpasses 33,000 signatures Before his alleged death, Inquisitor Ghost expressed interest in getting his very own operator skin in Call of Duty. Fans of the franchise and Inquisitor Ghost are attempting to make his dream a reality by starting a petition and raising awareness. “We are calling on Activision and the creators behind Call of Duty to honor Inquisitor’s memory by creating a skin based on him,” said the petition organizer. “This would not only fulfill his dream, but also serve as an endearing tribute that recognizes his impact within the gaming community.” The petition on Change.org has over 33,000 signatures at the time of writing this article, with a current goal of reaching 35,000. Those who have signed the petition have left their thoughts and feelings behind in the form of comments and video responses. Activision has not made a comment or statement regarding the movement to get Inquisitor Ghost into the game. However, they have made several other operator skins for major influencers in the past, such as Timothy ‘timthetatman‘ Betar and Nick ‘NICKMERCS‘ Kolcheff.

Fans pay tribute to late TikTok farming star Caitlyn Loane – Dexerto
Fans pay tribute to late TikTok farming star Caitlyn Loane TikTok: @catieloane19-year-old TikTok star Caitlyn Loane, best known for her videos promoting women in agriculture, has passed away, and fans are taking to social media to pay tribute to the inspiring late content creator. While TikTok is often touted as the “dance video” platform, Caitlyn Loane’s content differed quite a lot from the site’s usual slew of lip syncing trends. The late star’s TikTok page is full of videos showing herself working on her family’s farm in Tasmania, where she handled animals, worked the land, and even got shoulder-deep in mud. In Loane’s videos, she explained that farming has been in her family for “generations,” and detailed how she got a job working at a cattle station in Australia’s Northern Territory before sharing her passion with TikTok. Loane’s content was all about inspiring women to join agriculture, and she shared quite a few tips on how they could get started in a field that, from her TikTok videos, seems nothing short of idyllic and satisfying. Loane garnered over 68,000 followers on the site due to her content, which was some of the most popular in TikTok’s #womeninag community. In a statement given to The Mercury, Loane’s father described his daughter as a ” lovely, crazy young woman who was an invaluable member of our family.” While the family did not elaborate on the cause of Loane’s passing, her father did say that “every day should be ‘R U OK? Day,” referencing a holiday focused on mental health awareness in Australia. Commenters have come out in droves to celebrate Loane’s life — but some scammers are trying to take advantage of the devastating situation. Shortly after Loane’s pasing, fraudsters set up a false Go Fund Me in Loane’s name, which was labeled by her family as “beyond despicable.” While the fundraiser has been revealed as a scam, friends and longtime viewers of the late TikTok farming star continue to post their blessings to her family and share their memories of one of the platform’s most unique creators.

A gamer with ALS, Puppers was a force in the DbD community. His LITF event raised over 270k to fight ALS. A true gaming champion by all metrics. My heart goes out to his friends, family, and community on this very difficult day.” The Twitter page for Dead By Daylight, Puppers’ main game, also paid respects to the fallen streamer. “Thank you for finding a home in The Fog. Your joy and love made it a better place, and it was an honor to be comfy with you. Puppers was, and always will be, one of the brightest lights in The Fog. Everyone that light touched is forever changed by having known him,” they said. Thousands of others replied to the original tweet as well. “Rest well. We’ll always keep you in our hearts,” one fan replied. Another said: “May this beacon of light shine forever in our hearts. Rest easy Puppers.” Due to the sudden decline in Puppers’ health, the community has created a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of funeral expenses. His death comes just two months after the passing of TikToker Harrison Gilks who had been fighting a form of pediatric cancer.

Fans outraged over Jaclyn Hill’s new “mystery box” makeup launch – Dexerto
Fans outraged over Jaclyn Hill’s new “mystery box” makeup launch YouTube: Jaclyn Hill / Instagram: @trendmood1Beauty guru and YouTuber Jaclyn Hill is coming under fire from critics after selling a makeup “mystery box” — which is causing some fans to scratch their heads, as she hasn’t released a new product in over a year. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Jaclyn Hill is a relatively divisive name in the influencer makeup space; ever since her massive lipstick scandal in 2019 (during which fans claimed to have found foreign objects and even mold in the lipsticks), she has borne the brunt of internet vitriol with every new project she undertakes. Thus far, Hill’s brand has released two product lines — a line of lipsticks, and a line of highlighters, which were comparatively well-received by consumers. However, it has been some time since Hill’s own brand — Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics — has released anything else, with Hill also coming out with another partnered Morphe palette in between. View this post on Instagram This changed just ahead of Valentine’s Day, with the influencer announcing she’d be selling a makeup “mystery box” full of unspecified products from her brand. Unsurprisingly, this drew some concern from fans and critics alike, who were confused as to the seemingly random decision to release an equally random assortment of products with a “mystery” premise. Hill took to Instagram to explain that she’d initially planned a slew of product launches throughout 2020, but the current global health crisis had thrown a serious monkey wrench into the proceedings. View this post on Instagram Understanding the confusion among her fans, she then revealed a few of the products that would be included in the box, which consisted of highlighters and liquid lipsticks — a move that drew more than a few negative comments, considering her past lipstick launch. Despite the concern surrounding the launch, Hill’s box managed to sell out in a manner of seconds after officially going live on February 5 at 11 AM PST. Hill stated on Instagram that she was “speechless and sobbing uncontrollably” over the unexpected success of her mystery makeup box — but many fans were disappointed that they couldn’t get their hands on a product they’d been excited to snag. https://twitter.com/Jaclynhill/status/1357773500996608000 According to Hill, her brand had “thousands of boxes” in-store, claiming, “I thought it would take a while to sell through.” Luckily, she stated that there’s “still more to come” from Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics in the future — but the jury is out as to the products’ quality until buyers receive their makeup.

Fans outraged after Boogie2988 “begs” for money following $100k Tesla purchase – Dexerto
Fans outraged after Boogie2988 “begs” for money following $100k Tesla purchase Boogie2988, Twitch / raneko, FlikrControversial YouTuber and Twitch streamer Steven ‘Boogie2988’ Williams is known both for his popular videos as well as the multiple scandals surrounding his career as a content creator – one of which is stirring outrage amongst his fanbase, following his purchase of a $100,000 Tesla Model S. Boogie2988 went live in a broadcast in early July, where he explained the story behind his purchase of the Tesla, which he’d worriedly Tweeted about on June 28 after realizing he could “barely afford” the car. However, Boogie decided to use the Tesla as a confidence-builder, aiming to create better content to earn more revenue – but some fans weren’t happy with his Tweet on the subject. So….. Sitting here realizing I bought a car I can barely afford.You would think my anxiety would be going nuts. It isnt. I am feeling confident that I can work harder every day and use that car and debt as an inspiration to create better content. Confidence feels good. — Boogie2988 :soon: vidcon! (@Boogie2988) June 28, 2019 Some fans accused Boogie of “begging” for cash from his viewerbase, which he sarcastically confirmed, going on to deny having “begged” in light of his massive debt. “The answer is yes,” he jokingly said of the scandal. “Give me some money. Also, no. I just realized when I got home, the car was fucking expensive.” Despite his explanation, critics continue to lash out at the YouTuber, with some angry commenters even doing the math to speculate what Boogie can and cannot afford. “…he’s making at least $88k per year from Youtube alone,” one user wrote. “Sponsors appear to be the lion’s share, plus Twitch revenue, donos, and Patreon… I would guess, conservatively, $250k-300k per year. ..Guy can easily afford this car.” https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/c87jia/boogie2988_on_how_a_car_salesman_talked_him_into/“…’Don’t be jealous. You too can buy a new car if you can afford it,’” another quoted. “#HotTake. Yet more classic Boogie twisting the narrative to make it seem like critics are jealous, rather than highlighting his flip flopping contradictions.” This would be far from the first time Boogie has faced mass criticism, with an older clip from his stream going viral in late June that showed the streamer making a racist comment toward a donator. In fact, the criticism against Boogie is so great that the YouTuber has even admitted to having suicidal thoughts due to the hate, as told in a series of Tweets on June 13. Ironically all of this negativity makes me horribly suicidal. I struggle with it daily. I hate it. The idea that so many people think I am even capable of these things makes me wish I wasnt alive. Those things are truly the opposite of who and what I am. 2/?— Boogie2988 :soon: vidcon! (@Boogie2988) June 13, 2019 Despite the backlash, Boogie is determined to ignore the hate and move forward, while critics are adding his latest stream to a long list of his previous offenses.

Fans across the space sounded off after discovering that Charles was charging a whopping $500 for VIP packages, with some critics calling the pricing “extortion,” noting that the YouTuber’s relatively young fanbase might break the bank for a chance to meet him. “You’re charging like you’re a mega star like Lady Gaga or Beyonce,” one critic wrote of the issue. “You do makeup on YouTube. You seem to be getting greedier every day. Sad.” “The way James Charles is charging $500 for a VIP ticket knowing full well that the majority of his fans aren’t going to be able to afford it on their own but that his young, impressionable fans will still be whipped enough to break their bank accounts just for a hangout with him,” another said. James Charles responds to ticket backlash Charles later responded to the backlash in a series of now-deleted Tweets, claiming that it was “very expensive” to put on such a tour at the venues he’d scheduled. OMG, your “”tour”” ticket prices are absurd. Your charging like your a mega star like lady gaga or beyonce. You do makeup on YouTube. You seem to be getting greedier every day. Sad.

PewDiePie’s $50K donation to ADL surprises some fans – Dexerto
PewDiePie’s $50K donation to ADL surprises some fans Youtube: PewDiePie / ADLSwedish Youtube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg celebrated reaching 100 million subscribers by donating $50,000 to the Anti Defamation League, but some of his fans were taken aback by the chosen charity. After years of hard work, PewDiePie became the first individual Youtuber to break through the 100 million subscriber mark late in August. His channel is by far the biggest on the platform for a solo content creator, garnering millions of views on every video. To celebrate, the Swede has decided to give back to one organization, the Anti Defamation League (ADL. In a September 10 video, while unboxing his ultra-exclusive “Red Diamond” award for having reached the massive milestone, he announced that he would be donating a big chunk of change to the ADL. “As an additional celebration, I will be donating $50,000 to the Anti Defamation League, which is an organization that fights bigotry and prejudice in all its forms,” he said. It was the very same ADL that had famously tried to shut down PewDiePie’s channel in 2016 by sending clips of his content to then-sponsor Disney, which led to the studio cutting ties after being pressured. For mobile users, the video starts at 2:13 Because of his history with the organizations, fans were surprised at his decision, which has pushed for stricter quarantine of hate speech on online platforms, going after major content creators like the Swede. Reddit user ‘unpopularxopinions’ said “I don’t like that PewDiePie is funding the ADL’s bullshit,” while ‘shortcutone’ argued “there are way better organizations to be donating to for this issue.” Another said “the fact of the matter is that the ADL is notorious for censorship and they unfairly slandered PewDiePie and done that to numerous groups/people. The fact that he donated $50k to them is disrespectful to all of the people they’ve attacked.” Comments about the donation have been removed from the video after some fans criticized the decision. PewDiePie’s editor asked fans to “stop”, calling the complaints a conspiracy theory, instead of just congratulating him on reaching 100 million subs. ‘Thatfrenchnut’ said that it was “still weird how comments are being deleted and they are set to newest first.” The YouTube video currently has over 230,000 comments at the time of writing, but a large portion of comments on top of that are no longer there. While the fans outrage isn’t directed at PewDiePie himself, some feel disappointment at the choice to donate to the Anti Defamation League.

Fans outraged after Emma Chamberlain followed by paparazzi – Dexerto
Fans outraged after Emma Chamberlain followed by paparazzi YouTube: Emma ChamberlainA video that’s been released of relatable teen YouTuber Emma Chamberlain being followed by paparazzi has caused a stir on social media. Some insist the reporter was far too invasive, while others believe Emma was needlessly rude. 19-year-old Emma Chamberlain rose to success through her quirky personality and relatable YouTube videos. She’s amassed a subscriber base of over 9 million, and has asserted herself as a staple creator on the site. However, while she has a huge base of adoring fans, she hasn’t been exempt from controversy. Just this year she came under fire for launching an apparently overpriced coffee company that saw prices up to $60. Emma is followed Opinions have been mixed once again, with people unsure how to react when a video emerged of a paparazzo quizzing her about her personal life, following her to her car while asking the star questions. In the clip, the man can be heard asking: “When will we see the Sister Squad back together?” to which she replied: “Have a good one,” and shut her car door. https://twitter.com/i/status/1291466916628856835 The Sister Squad is comprised of Emma, James Charles, and the Dolan twins. They produced a lot of content together on the site, but following James Charles’ scandal of 2019 they cut ties. The reporter proceeded to follow her to the gas station, where he informs her that fans are shipping her with TikTok star Noah Beck. He questioned her over her relationship status, with Chamberlain uncomfortably replying: “I’m out of here, though.” As Def Noodles noted on Twitter, the original video displayed Emma’s number plate which raises concerns about doxxing and personal safety. How did social media respond? Viewers have had a mixed response to the exchange. Some sided with the paparazzi, suggesting that because she “spends all her time trying to get people to watch her,” she shouldn’t complain when the press shows an interest in her life. I think if you want to make a living by being famous, you have to expect the paparazzi to be interested. She spends all of her time trying to get people to watch her, follow her, like her and then doesn’t like it when the press approaches. I don’t get it. — Angela Cato (@AngelaCato) August 7, 2020 Others have questioned the ethics of a grown man following a teenage girl to a gas station. “I get it’s their job, but as a girl at a gas station I’m on HIGH alert and not myself,” one person said. I get it’s their job but as a girl at a gas station I’m on HIGH alert and not myself. — Spill Sesh (@spillseshYT) August 6, 2020 They’ve suggested that the man was “crossing boundaries” and implores others to “let people have their own space.” The moral issues regarding paparazzi have long been debated. But as an inevitable side effect of influencer culture, the jury is out on who’s in the wrong.

Shane Dawson fans accuse YouTuber of a “cash grab” after throwing out makeup – Dexerto
Shane Dawson fans accuse YouTuber of a “cash grab” after throwing out makeup Youtube: Shane Dawson, Ryland AdamsPopular YouTuber Shane Dawson has been criticized for donating large boxes of makeup to charity and accused of using makeup as a “cash grab” to generate views. The accusations came after Dawson’s partner Ryland Adams posted a video on his YouTube channel that shows large boxes in Dawson’s house. The vlog shows Dawson and Adams taking viewers around their house as they clear out cupboards and seek to tidy up. Towards the end of the video, Dawson, behind the camera, starts showing off his makeup collection. In the clip, he discusses how he still gets merchandise from fellow YouTuber and friend Jeffree Star and that makes up the bulk of his collection. However, then the attention turns to one large bag and two full boxes. Dawson announces that these are going to charity and Adams estimates one box weighs “60 pounds” and the other “70-80 pounds.” What did Shane Dawson say in the video? Topic starts at 20:41 The video prompted fans to mock Dawson, claiming that the makeup donations were proof that the influencer’s foray into the makeup world was a pure attempt to make money. This eventually led to a joint makeup collection between Dawson and Star titled “The Conspiracy Collection.” The video comes after several months of Dawson teasing his return to social media and YouTube. Last year, his channel was lost thousands of subscribers amid a series of scandals. The segment begins with Adams taking viewers into the “Beauty Room.” Here we can see Dawson pan the camera to a large rack of shelves with dozens of makeup products on them. Dawson then shows them off saying “these are all my Jeffrees,” referring products produced by his friend Jeffree Star. Dawson then shows the large boxes of makeup that he plans to donate when Adam attempts to lift them up. What did fans say about Dawson? The reaction from fans was certainly mixed. Some were quick to criticize the YouTuber. Some asked why he hadn’t donated the makeup before. Others felt it revealed Dawson’s interest in makeup was only for monetary gain. It was always about the money pic.twitter.com/XeyJ04Ersn — Families Out of Contex (@Familiespod) July 7, 2021 I get that most of it was probably PR but damn, how does someone who never wears makeup have that much makeup just lying around for this long? He couldn’t donate it a year ago? — ColleensChurchedUpQueef (@ImJustScrollin3) July 7, 2021 However, there were plenty of others who didn’t see any issue with the amount of makeup Dawson was donating. Some thought it was a really nice idea that Dawson had decide to donate all of his makeup. At least it’s getting donated! I bet a lot of people will enjoy that makeup — 🎶Emily 🎶 (@EmilyIsCrazy) July 7, 2021 To be fair, he had so much that he couldn’t possibly use it all before it expired even if he changed his look every couple of hours. He said Jeffree still sends him PR as well. I don’t want to defend him but it is good thing he is donating make up he would not use. — Tara Janine🍷❄️🌨 😎 (@tarajanine7) July 7, 2021 Another criticized former fans for getting angry about the donations And last but not least, one Twitter user hoped to nab a few pallets from the makeup pile Idc if it’s from Shane Dawson. I would gladly pick though that donate pile 😳 — Meg (@GRANDBelieber13) July 7, 2021

Fans of Below Deck Med praise Jessika for “refreshing” avoidance of drama – Dexerto
Fans of Below Deck Med praise Jessika for “refreshing” avoidance of drama Below Deck Med’s Jessika has garnered appreciation from audiences for her drama-free approach. Fans of Below Deck Med are used to the endless drama that transpires on each yacht. Yet what most audiences are not used to are crew members who actively avoid getting caught in the drama at all costs. In the case of Below Deck Med Season 8, fourth stew Jessika has become a breath of fresh air for fans due to her conflict-avoidant persona. The newcomer on the yacht has turned into a bit of a fan-favorite amongst viewers who are “refreshed” by a TV personality that avoids drama. Below Deck Med fans love Jessika’s drama-free archetype On Below Deck Med Season 8, fans were introduced to Jessika from Hawaii. For perhaps the first time in Below Deck history, a crew member announced straight off the bat that she would not be participating in any of the drama. There is notably a ton of cattiness between the crew members this season of Below Deck Med, so it might take a lot of work for Jessika to avoid conflict. Yet at the same time, fans can’t help but appreciate her attempts. “Jessika is so refreshing,” one fan wrote on the official Below Deck Instagram page. “She doesn’t want to compete for a job, doesn’t want drama, and communicates boundaries. Normally I would say not great for TV but maybe we need someone like her to offset all the other drama.” Another fan agreed, writing, “Love that Jessika is setting a personal boundary not to get involved in the drama. Get it girl” Yet, alternatively, there were other viewers who weren’t impressed with Jessika’s conflict avoidant persona. While many fans praised Jessika’s drama-free outlook, others felt it was silly for her to join a reality show if she didn’t want to face conflict. “Frankly, I don’t understand these people,” another fan added on the Below Deck Subreddit. “They signed up to be on a reality show where drama (some of it manufactured) is the whole point. Why be on a reality show if you want to avoid drama?” Stay tuned for more Below Deck Med to follow Jessika’s journey.

Instagram: loganpaul, ksi, natediaz209 / YouTube: PBD PodcastFans are rife with excitement and speculation after a “leaked” fight card surfaced online, showing a possible lineup of matches for the supposed Misfits boxing event in January 2023. The influencer-boxing bug is at an all time high, with Jake Paul set to fight Anderson Silva in October and Deji slated to face off with Floyd Mayweather in November. However, even more excitement is ramping up for next year, as rumblings have persisted throughout the past few months of a possible boxing event taking place in January 2023 as part of KSI’s Misfits Boxing promotional company. Popularly dubbed the ‘PRIME Card,’ fans are excitedly theorizing who we might see face off in early 2023 — but a recent ‘leak’ might have added a few more names to the list. “Leaked” Misfits Boxing card teases KSI vs Nate Diaz, Logan Paul vs Andrew Tate, more In late October, a supposedly “leaked” card for the next Misfits Boxing event began circulating online. At the time of writing, it’s unclear where the card first originated… but the series of matches it proposes are nothing short of internet-breaking. Thus far, the leaked card claims we’ll see the following bouts: KSI vs Nate Diaz – Logan Paul vs Andrew Tate – Slim vs Salt Papi – Deji vs Bryce Hall – FaZe Sensei vs AnEsonGib – JiDion vs Swarmz – JMX vs Josh Bruckner – Deen the Great vs Walid Sharks – As exciting as these fights might be, many fans are calling the leaked card into question, noticing that a few of the proposed matches just aren’t likely to happen. For starters, Logan Paul vehemently decried any notion of a fight with Andrew Tate, expressing concern of giving the controversial internet personality a platform in spite of the possible payday it would bring. That’s not all; KSI has given some hint as to who his next opponent will be, saying in a recent YouTube video that although his rival is “a challenge,” they “do not” have a ‘Z’ in their name, as previously stated by his manager Mams Taylor. On top of that, JiDion has loudly denied any chance of a boxing match with Swarmz on multiple occasions, instead begging British YouTuber Joe Weller for a turn in the ring. For now, many of these bouts seem like wishful thinking, and fans are treating the leak with healthy amounts of speculation until the third Misfits Boxing event gets officially announced.

Fans furious after Bad Bunny unexpectedly crowned “The King of Pop” – Dexerto
Fans furious after Bad Bunny unexpectedly crowned “The King of Pop” Youtube: Bad BunnyFor their 30 Under 30 special issue, Forbes named Bad Bunny the new “King of Pop,” and fans are downright furious. Rapper Bad Bunny is one of the biggest stars in the game. From No. 1 albums like El Último Tour del Mundo to such global smash hits as “I Like It” and “Dakiti,” he’s left an indelible mark on the genre. And he shows no signs of slowing down. In his career, he’s amassed millions of records sold and collaborated with a slew of big names, including Cardi B, Drake, and Jennifer Lopez, among many others. There’s a reason his name is on everyone’s lips these days. All things considered, this newest distinction isn’t too surprising. In their new 30 Under 30 issue, Forbes magazine named Bad Bunny the new King of Pop. Bad Bunny being named the new King of Pop leaves fans angry When news of the cover broke on November 27, fans were not happy. On Twitter/X, many reminded the magazine that the King of Pop crown still belongs to Michael Jackson, while others called out Bad Bunny for not even being known in countless countries across the world. “That’s a big reach! Your arms must be hurting,” wrote a fan. “Stop this narrative. He is nowhere near iconic status.” “King of Pop with what talent, impact, and global reach? He’s not even a Pop artist,” wrote Taziri. “That crown ain’t going anywhere (no matter how many times the press tries to force into whoever is the flavor of the month), buddy,” added another user. Delavíe noted the disrespect to Latino culture, writing, “In no way shape or form is Bad Bunny a ‘Pop Artist.’ You can literally Google his genre. It’s Latino Urbano, and his music should be acknowledged as such out of respect for our culture.” “Previously held” — Ricardo Matos (@thehitman29) November 27, 2023 That crown ain’t going anywhere (no matter how many times the press tries to force into whoever is the flavor of the month), buddy. There is only one King. pic.twitter.com/Ex3vPiXUsr They do anything to not acknowledge Latino Culture fully. In no way shape or form is Bad Bunny a “Pop Artist”. You can literally Google his genre. It’s Latino Urbano, and his music should be acknowledged as such out of respect for our culture. — Delavíe (@Delaviemusic) November 28, 2023 It’s a form of white washing to… Another fan pointed out the trend of forcing “a ‘new king of pop’ every month just for clicks and outrage engagement. It’s getting boring.” Other uses agreed. “This is probably the 50th time since Michael Jackson passed that a media outlet has proclaimed someone as the ‘new King of Pop.’ Pure click bait,” wrote a fan. “forbes is slowly losing all of its credibility,” MinajMinistry added. You guys at the media try to force a “”new king of pop”” every month just for clicks and outrage engagement. It’s getting boring. MJ is the only king of pop. Period. — Justice for The Falsely Accused (@JuliaBerkowitz1) November 27, 2023 Bad Bunny might not be the new “King of Pop,” but he has achieved greatness in his own way. Perhaps, time will tell if he rightfully earns such a distinction. Stay tuned to Dexerto for all your entertainment needs.

Fans flood Kris Tyson with love as she reveals new name & pronouns YouTube: Anthony PadillaKris Tyson has revealed her new name and pronouns, officially coming out as a woman, and fans have already begun flooding her with love. Back in April 2023, Kris Tyson responded to speculation about her gender after users began questioning her appearance in a MrBeast video. She revealed that she had started undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy, and explained that she was going by any pronouns at that time. In a July 21 interview with Anthony Padilla, Kris Tyson officially came out as a woman with new pronouns and an updated way to spell her name. Fans show love as Kris Tyson comes out as woman On July 21, 2023, alongside the video interview with YouTube star Anthony Padilla, Kris Tyson updated the spelling of her name — and let fans know her new pronouns. Talking to Padilla, Kris revealed that she had always felt like a woman and wanted to slowly introduce her fanbase in the same process she went through when learning her true self.

Another commented: “So very proud of you Kris, thanks for sharing your story with us.” “Love you, it was great to hear it,” a third said. It’s unknown when she’ll be in another MrBeast video, but given the fact MrBeast has supported their gender identity for “years,” it’s only a matter of time till we see her appear on the channel again.

Fans freak out after Kim Kardashian finds “ghost” of woman lurking in her window – Dexerto
Fans freak out after Kim Kardashian finds “ghost” of woman lurking in her window Kim Kardashian revealed that, as she went through her photos, she found a picture of what fans are claiming to be a “ghost” in her window. Someone call the Ghostbusters, because beauty mogul and SKMS co-founder, Kim Kardashian, recently scrolled through her camera log to find something very eerie. As Kardashian posed in a pink bodycon dress, the supposed “ghost” of a woman appeared over her right shoulder. A week after taking the mirror selfie, Kardashian found the photo and shared it on her Instagram. Kim Kardashian said she’s “freaking out” over a shadow of a woman in her window After discovering that the picture seemed to include the shadow of an older woman, whether haunted or not, Kardashian took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the happenstance, saying, “Soooo I took this pic last week when I was alone, and now going through my phone I am freaking out noticing a woman in the window.” Fans of Kardashian then responded with various opinions of what the shadow may be. Some supported Kardashian, saying, “The Victorian bonnet! This is [a surprised face emoji].” Others, however, slammed the A-lister by saying she made it up and photoshopped the figure in. Many also said it was for publicity, saying, “So who photoshopped this to give you some more headlines?” This instance comes after the Dolce & Gabbana feud between Kim and her sister Kourtney aired itself out to the media, as Kourtney blamed Kim for copying her outfit ideas from the couture designer. This resulted in another commenter saying, “It’s just Kourtney.” Although Kim has yet to speak on the freaky occurrence in her photo since initially posting it, fans of Kardashian’s are able to “keep up with” her on The Kardashians every Thursday night on Hulu, where she could possibly speak out about the incident. Could it be the ghost of Kardashian’s TikTok past? Check out our latest news on what happened to Kim and daughter North’s TikTok account when it was “mysteriously” banned.

Fans distraught after JustaMinx banned from Twitch for first time – Dexerto
Fans distraught after JustaMinx banned from Twitch for first time YouTube: JustaMinxStreaming star and ‘E-Girl Rejects’ member JustaMinx has received her first Twitch ban, leading to an outpour of concern and distress from fans as they await more details on the situation. JustaMinx has become a hugely popular streamer on Twitch, rising to prominence in its ‘Just Chatting’ section alongside her humorous gameplay in such titles as Phasmophobia, Apex Legends, and Among Us. Minx has also amassed a large audience across YouTube and Instagram, where her unique style has garnered her over 339,000 followers — but those followers were shocked to learn that she’d been banned from Twitch on December 17. The news came as a huge surprise to her viewers, who couldn’t fathom a reason as to why the relatively wholesome streamer would receive a sudden ban from the website. View this post on Instagram Among the humorous memes threatening to “speak to Twitch’s manager” and other jokes came a reaction from fellow streamer Kiaraakitty, who appeared similarly saddened by the news. Luckily, Minx spoke out on the matter a short time later with a simple — and hilarious — Tweet: “F**k.” OMW TO TWITCH HEADQUARTERS AS WE SPEAK. I’LL TAKE CARE OF THIS! https://t.co/fQgDGVBx4r — k ᓚᘏᗢ (@wormcider) December 17, 2020 She followed up her humous reaction with more info for her fans, revealing that she has been banned from the site for seven days. As for the reason for her ban, Minx claimed that it was due to “hateful slurs or symbols,” and went on to explain that she had used such terms as “virgin, simp and incel” during a recent broadcast — but was under the impression that Twitch’s TOS against the words wouldn’t go into affect until January, which, so far, is what has been reported. I wanna clarify I did say virgin incel and simp yesterday but I thiught the new TOS wasn’t in place till January — minx (@JustaMinx) December 17, 2020 Unfortunately for Minx, she will be unable to participate in Twitch game show “Love or Host” for which she had — for some reason — purchased a fursuit. Twitch casuals might know Minx from the hilarious White Claw clip that went viral in July, which showed the streamer fiddling around with a butterfly knife at her streaming station. Curious to see if she could open her White Claw with the knife, she gave the can a stab, resulting in the seltzer spraying her directly in the eye. https://twitter.com/JustaMinx/status/1284541165598134273?s=20 Despite Twitch’s surprise ban, it’s nice to see that she’s taking the news in good spirits — although she’s not above asking the site to “free” her. https://twitter.com/JustaMinx/status/1339663900212686855?s=20 It’s still uncertain if Twitch has actually banned Minx for using the words she mentioned in her tweet, as that policy, as far as we know, doesn’t go into affect until January. For now, all Minx and her fans can do is wait for further information.

Fans divided over JP’s silent treatment on Love is Blind – Dexerto
Fans divided over JP’s silent treatment on Love is Blind While some fans believe JP’s “silent treatment” on Love is Blind Season 5 was due to social anxiety, others think he was just being rude. JP has developed a bit of a bad reputation on Season 5 of Love is Blind. Fans were put off by the fact that he had given Taylor the silent treatment throughout their time in Mexico. At the Season 5 reunion, JP apologized to Taylor for his behavior. According to JP, his silence was due to nerves. As JP revealed, he found the whole Love is Blind filming process to be completely unnatural, and having cameras on him all the time led him to his quiet behavior. Yet while some fans of the show have sided with JP, agreeing that it’s normal for him to be uncomfortable with the whole situation, others believe he had no excuse for being so dismissive with Taylor. Love is Blind Season 5 fans divided over JP’s silence with Taylor At the much anticipated Love is Blind reunion, JP told his side of the story regarding the fiasco in Mexico. According to JP, his anxiety over the cameras led him to retreat back into his shell, making him go quiet. Taylor confronted her ex-fiance at the reunion, not buying his excuse. According to Taylor, she was also anxious about the cameras, yet she didn’t let it stop her from trying to make things work with JP. Fans of Love is Blind took to the Instagram comments to discuss their thoughts on JP’s behavior. One fan took JP’s defense, writing, “JP is so misunderstood. Its NORMAL to feel awkward being thrown into a honeymoon suite with a STRANGER.” They continued, adding, “They don’t know each other. It’s an experiment. They are strangers forced into intimacy and under a microscope at the same time. He tried to say how he feels and she invalidates that by saying ‘that’s not an excuse’ just because the others didn’t struggle as much. Which is honestly insane and sad.” Another agreed, writing, “Dude has crippling shyness. I honestly don’t think he’s a terrible guy. He said some stupid stuff but, he looks scared to be on camera.” While many were quick to agree, others felt like he had no excuses. “If you’re this socially awkward, why would you sign up to do a whole ass TV show?? With cameras??” said another fan. Another commenter suggested JP was intimidated by Taylor. They wrote, “Magical, powerful women are intimidating to insecure men.” Watch Love is Blind only on Netflix.

Fans embarrassed for Jacob Sartorius after he brags about drug use – Dexerto
Fans embarrassed for Jacob Sartorius after he brags about drug use Instagram, @jacobsartorius / Pexels, HarrisonJacob Sartorius is now 18 years old and appears to be in the midst of a rebrand, as fans and critics alike are growing increasingly embarrassed by his emphasis on his new love: Mary Jane. It’s one thing to smoke weed, which is now legal in much of America and becoming more and more de-stigmatized due to positive qualities impacting mental wellness and physical rehabilitation. In a country touched by documented issues with prescription drugs, CBD and THC have gained mainstream acceptance as more natural alternatives. It’s another thing to make toking up a full-on character trait, as evidenced by fan reactions to Sartorius’s latest content on TikTok. Far from the years of movie tropes, people no longer seem enamored with weed constituting someone’s entire personality. Sartorius, who rose to fame at around 13 years old due to music video content on Musical.ly before Vine and YouTube, has really leaned into the green leaf emoji on TikTok. And fans seem a little embarrassed by this, with many saying they don’t find usage of the drug to be that captivating. View this post on Instagram In a TikTok shared by notorious gossip Instagram page, ‘tiktokroom,’ Sartorius can be seen joking about not smoking that much and not being high at the moment. After each statement is shown on the screen, he breaks the fourth wall and gives a mischievous side look to the camera as the background lyrics suggest those statements are lies. The song in the background is 2014’s “Wet Dreamz” by J. Cole and alludes to the rapper saying things that are untrue (or, as he puts it, “fronting” and “stunting”). But, while that song and album, “2014 Forest Hills Drive,” received nearly unparalleled critical and fan support for emotional honesty and craftsmanship — there has been no such reaction to the Sartorius version. In the comments on TTR, fans are seen saying things like “ok, we get it” and leaning heavily into sarcastic applause: “Well done, Jacob. We’re so proud of you, let’s all clap.” View this post on Instagram As Sartorius grows from a 13-year-old pop star to dangling cross earrings and angsty Instagram captions, fans seem disinterested in him letting his recreational activities define his personality. A number of his other TikToks reference his new passion, including videos about preferred munchies and whatnot, but his audience has generally seemed disinterested. As people and fans have reacted by making jokes about seeming to be impressed by the star’s activities, one has to wonder if he’ll stop leaning into it for content as much.

Fans devastated after Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita end their podcast Instagram: Jenna MarblesFollowing her departure from YouTube, Jenna Mourey (Jenna Marbles) and her long-time partner Julien Solomita have announced that they are ending their Julien & Jenna podcast, and fans are utterly devastated. On Monday, August 18, Jenna and Julien released a six-minute episode called “The Final Podcast” where they announced the show’s ending after six years and emotionally expressed their gratitude towards their listeners. Julien said: “The longer we sit here, the messier it’s gonna get. But, just the biggest, most heartfelt thank you to anyone who has ever listened to our podcast.” Jenna said: “If I think about it too much and if I say it too much, I’m probably gonna cry. And I can’t really look at Julien because I’m probably gonna cry. But I wanted to say thank you so much for all of your support over however many years we’ve been doing this.” The pair said that there’s a possibility that they will collaborate on another project together in the future, but that it was undetermined. However, Julien will continue to stream on Twitch. Just last week the couple revealed that their shared Twitch channel ‘jennajulien’ would become simply ‘julien.’ Fans of the show expressed an outpouring of love and sadness for the show’s end on Twitter. One fan tweeted: “The Jenna Julien podcast ending was the cherry on top of the worst f*****g year ever.” https://twitter.com/itsslimshadybby/status/1295407254187978752 Another wrote: “My feelings are personally hurt by 2020 taking Jenna Marbles and the Jenna Julien podcast away from us. Mental health is so important and I am happy for her getting the help she needs but ouch I’m hurt.” my feelings are personally hurt by 2020 taking Jenna Marbles and the Jenna Julien podcast away from us. mental health is so important and i am happy for her getting the help she needs but ouch i’m hurt pic.twitter.com/G5SgbEC7lC — michaela krantz (@MichaelaKrantz) August 17, 2020 This comes after Jenna announced on June 25 that she was departing YouTube and the internet for good, after a decade and amassing 23 million subscribers. In her emotional farewell she apologized for insensitive content she had made in the past saying: “People were offended and it hurt them, and for that, I am so unbelievably sorry.” It sounds like “The Final Podcast” is the last we will see of Jenna Marbles for a very long time.

Fans distraught after Emma Chamberlain and boyfriend Role Model split – Dexerto
Fans distraught after Emma Chamberlain and boyfriend Role Model split YouTube: Emma ChamberlainAfter several years together, Emma Chamberlain and her partner Role Model have decided to part ways and their fans are not okay. Content creator Emma Chamberlain is arguably one of the most successful influencers of this generation, with over 15 million followers on Instagram alone. She is known for taking her fans inside her personal life with her iconic vlogs and breaking the fourth wall that usually comes with celebrity status. This means introducing her fanbase to her boyfriend—music artist Role Model. The couple started their relationship back in 2020 and have quickly become a power couple in the entertainment industry. The two seemed absolutely smitten with each other, evident by their couples quiz segment with GQ in February 2023. Sadly though, their romantic relationship has come to an end. Have Emma Chamberlain & Role Model split? On October 7, E! News reported that the couple had parted ways after three years together after the outlet received the tip from an undisclosed source. Neither of them has publicly addressed their breakup, not giving a reason behind the shocking split. But, that’s not very surprising since the two usually kept their relationships away from prying eyes. “We have a very just unproblematic, safe, private—when we want to be private—relationship. We’re never going to be posting photos and selfies of us on a beach in Cabo,” Role explained in an interview. This isn’t the first time that Emma’s dating life has made headlines. It was rumored that the content creator was in relationships with both Aaron Hull and Ethan Dolan over the years, but neither of those theories was confirmed to be true. Nonetheless, their fans are extremely saddened by their breakup news and made sure to make their feelings known on social media. i am a role model stan and an emma chamberlain stan. how am i supposed to go on? — crys on tour 🪩 (@carouselcrys) October 8, 2023 I’m gonna be honest the role model emma chamberlain news is hitting me harder than expected — ë (@lipglosslix) October 8, 2023 To stay updated on all of the latest celebrity and entertainment news, make sure to check our page here.

Fans defend Panera Bread and say caffeine content was “clearly labelled” after death lawsuit – Dexerto
Fans defend Panera Bread and say caffeine content was “clearly labelled” after death lawsuit FlikrPanera Bread are facing a lawsuit after the death of 21-year-old Ivy League student. Some fans, however, believe the beverage clearly suggests caffeine content. Sarah Katz, a student at the University of Pennsylvania died after drinking Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade. The student, who suffered from a heart condition since the age of 5, always made sure to steer clear of energy drinks. However, the Charged Lemonade released by Panera Bread is said to contain more than a can of Monster Energy and Red Bull combined. Shortly after drinking the beverage, Katz went into cardiac arrest. Her family are suing Panera Bread, stating that the beverage was in no way labeled as possessing any caffeine content. The plaintiff argued, “Panera Bread’s ‘charged lemonade’ is a hidden danger to the public and the Katz family wants to prevent this tragedy from happening to someone else”. What does social media have to say? The majority of TikTok videos and X/Twitter posts are filled with commenters sending their condolences to the young girl’s family. “This is so heartbreaking”, one reader says, “So sad…prayers for the family”, another writes. However, many readers are quick to defend Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade, alleging that the caffeine content was made clear. Investigative journalist Tommy Liberty writes, “The drink is clearly labeled with how much caffeine is has—the picture in the article demonstrates that. She willingly paid for said drink of her own free will. Explain to me how this is Panera’s fault? It’s tragic, of course. But it’s not their fault. It was unfortunate and tragic carelessness on her part. That’s just the harsh truth”. It seems that many agree with Liberty, stating in the same post: “Maybe she shouldn’t have been drinking something that is advertised to have a ton of caffeine if she has a heart condition.” Another asks, “Why would she drink it knowing she had a heart condition, this lawsuit should be tossed out!”. In a recent statement, Panera addresses the controversy by stating: “We strongly believe in transparency around our ingredients… We will work quickly to thoroughly investigate this matter.”

Angry tweets surfaced in droves, as hundreds of disappointed viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage at the lack of quality for the price paid. “I want a refund!” Multiple pass purchasers reported that Halogen’s livestream chugged along like a steam train, rather than providing the exceptional quality you’d expect from a ticket with such a high price point.

Fans create Minecraft wedding gift for PewDiePie in incredible timelapse – Dexerto
Fans create Minecraft wedding gift for PewDiePie in incredible timelapse YouTube king Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg and wife Marzia Bisognin tied the knot in late August in a private ceremony – but fans aren’t done giving gifts to the happy couple. As fans know, Kjellberg is known for his history in the horror game genre, later rising to further fame thanks to his viral battle with Bollywood music label T-Series. Now, the internet star has become a bona fide “Minecraft YouTuber” – and the game’s community showed their appreciation for the Swede and his wife in a stunning project. Streaming platform DLive – the very same website Kjellberg exclusively signed to in April – held a special PewDiePie-themed Minecraft event in July, which saw the participation of a slew of talented players. Of these players were self-proclaimed “Minecraft Architects” NewHeaven, a French Minecraft team who showcase their works with impressive time lapse videos on YouTube. NewHeaven took their appreciation for PewDiePie to the next level during DLive’s event, creating a stunning wedding cake with an elaborate topper that resembles a sprawling Russian castle. That’s not all: the team surrounded the cake with architecture from all around the world, and even included PewDiePie’s Minecraft pets in an adorable homage to his incredibly popular videos for the game. The two-sided “cake” also brings viewers through Felix and Marzia’s relationship, with one side showing the couple during their dating phase, and the other showing the two in their wedding finery. Surrounded by flowers, clouds, and fireworks, NewHaven’s wedding cake is nothing short of a fantastic work of art, which PewDiePie honored with a retweet on his Twitter account.e “The idea behind this build consists of reflecting both sides of Felix’s relationship with his now-wife Marzia by separating our wedding cake into two separate parts,” NewHeaven said of the project. “The most festive one… symbolizes the public side of their lives. The other one… is meant to illustrate the more intimate side of the couple.” From his days playing Amnesia to finally reaching his 100 million subscriber mark, Felix and Marzia have been together for quite some time – and their wedding marks just another step in their ongoing journey.

Fans defend Nessa Barrett after she reveals eating disorder possibly caused fertility issues – Dexerto
Fans defend Nessa Barrett after she reveals eating disorder possibly caused fertility issues YouTube: The Zach Sang ShowFans are coming to Nessa Barrett’s defense after the singer-songwriter revealed that her eating disorder has likely caused her some fairly serious fertility issues. Nessa Barrett is one part social media star and one part music artist, having released her debut album ‘Young Forever’ in October 2022. Throughout her career as a budding superstar, Nessa has been open about her struggles with her mental health, opening up about her eating disorder in a soul-bearing Instagram post earlier this year. According to the singer, she’d struggled with anorexia for “almost a year” and relapsed during her most recent tour. “I couldn’t seem to get myself to recover or even want help until this tour,” she wrote. “I would pass out and collapse from my body being too weak, I needed to realize food is important for you so I could be physically able to perform every night.” Nessa Barret says eating disorder may have impacted her fertility A few months later, Barrett discussed her eating disorder once again in an interview on the Zach Sang Show, where she revealed that her ED may have caused issues with her ability to have children. “I started to think about [having kids] a lot recently, and the same way the tour was life-changing for me, I feel like me being a mom would be even more life-changing, and it would give me even more of a purpose,” she said. “I’ve just been struggling a lot, physically and mentally, I guess, too, and it kinda hit me that I possibly might not be able to have kids. And so, I think that’s when I started to think about it. I’ve cried before, because I kinda did it to myself. …that’s one of the reasons why I’m motivated to recover.” According to the Fertility and Gynecology Academy, a clinic based out of the UK, eating disorders can “cause hormonal imbalances, which, in turn, cause disruption to menstruation and ovulation cycles.” Fans have taken to social media to shower Barrett with sympathetic comments following this latest bombshell, with many defending her from critics and trolls using this as an opportunity to belittle her. “Nobody better say any hateful things about this,” one fan wrote on Instagram. “This is a sensitive topic and I honestly feel so bad for her.” “Nessa WILL someday be an amazing mother,” another wrote. “I’ve no doubt. Don’t care what anyone says. Negative comments will be blocked.” This is just the latest to come from Nessa Barrett after she addressed rumors of drug use after a series of videos were quickly deleted from her social media profiles.

He recently made his way from Los Angeles, California, to Austin, Texas, to hang out with several members of OTK, including Cyr, ExtraEmily, Mizkif, and more. During a recent stream, Will’s partner and Twitch streamer Caroline Kwan made a few comments that have fans convinced they’re joining OTK. Fans think WillNeff is leaving 100T to join OTK During a recent stream, Caroline mentioned that Will is considering his next move in life and that they enjoy the people down in Austin, where the members of OTK reside. “As you all maybe have presumed, Will is kind of thinking about what his next moves are in life. And we really love the Austin people down there. We love doing content down there,” she said. “Whatever the next move in life is, regardless, we will be spending a lot of time in Austin and making content with the great people down there.” The clip has been uploaded to various channels on YouTube, with many convinced WillNeff will be joining OTK. “Will, Caroline, Squeex, and Cinna, all new otk members confirmed,” one user said. Another viewer responded: “Will is the perfect replacement for the void that Rich left behind. I hope he really joins OTK.” “Cinna, Squeex, Will, Caroline, Knut, when he moves out there, man OTK about to stack up fr,” a third replied. Whether or not WillNeff will ever join OTK is still up in the air — he is still a member of 100 Thieves, after all — but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave the LA-based content org. Just in the last few months, popular content creators TinaKitten and Austinshow announced that they had left the org. We’ll have to wait to see what Will and Caroline have up their sleeves, but in the meantime, you can head over to our entertainment section to check out more news. Correction: This article previously mistakenly identified WillNeff’s partner Caroline Kwan as his fiance. This has now been rectified.

Fans convinced xQc is leaving Twitch after Kick account gets sub button xQcFans are convinced that xQc is moving to Kick after an account with his name randomly received a subscribe button. Since its launch in late 2022, Trainwreck’s Kick streaming platform has skyrocketed in popularity with some of the internet content creators choosing to use the site. Adin Ross, GMHikaru, Corinna Kopf, Destiny, and more have made their way to be the green-themed platform. Fans are now convinced that Twitch star xQc is moving to Kick after an account with his name suddenly began accepting subs. Is xQc moving from Twitch to Kick? On June 16, 2023, fans learned that an account on Kick with xQc’s name was suddenly monetized although it had never been used in the past. Rumors quickly make their way around social media, with many wondering whether or not it’s true as rumors of other big-name signings have yet to come to fruition. The account hasn’t been verified at the time of writing, but it hasn’t stopped fans from subscribing and even gifting subs to the account. Kick streamer JerryOnKick shared on his Twitter page that some of xQc’s “valued chatters” had begun subbing to his channel. Some of X’s valued chatters are subbing up to claim founders.

Fans convinced RHOBH’s Kyle Richards had affair with Morgan Wade amid separation from husband – Dexerto
Fans convinced RHOBH’s Kyle Richards had affair with Morgan Wade amid separation from husband RHOBH’s Kyle Richards has been seen wearing a matching ring with country singer Morgan Wade amid separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky. Kyle Richards of Bravo’s RHOBH has recently sparked dating rumors with country singer Morgan Wade. The two have been seen spending a lot of time together, and even have matching rings that both of them have been wearing since at least April of this year. Not only is there speculation that Richards and Wade have been seeing each other exclusively, the two are now being accused of having an affair, as Richards is still married to her husband, Mauricio Umansky. Richards makes statement on Instagram after being spotted with Wade amid separation from her husband Though Richards and Umansky have been married for 27 years and share three daughters together, the two recently hit a turning point in their relationship, causing them to separate while still living in the same house together. After rumors about Richards divorcing Umansky, she released a statement to Instagram saying, “In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage.” Richards continued, “But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.” During said strain in the relationship between Richards and Umansky, fans of Richards have noticed she’s been wearing a matching ring with her new ‘friend’ Morgan Wade. The Bravo star and Country singer met in February 2022. Wade then introduced Richards to her fitness trainer, leading to Richards and Wade working out together on multiple occasions. Some fans of Richards are piecing together the puzzle of her relationship with Wade, saying that both parties are bonding over their sobriety, as Richards has recently given up alcohol this year and Wade gave it up about six years ago. Not only are Richards and Wade striving towards a healthy lifestyle while wearing matching silver rings on their left hand, but Richards has also been photographed without wearing her wedding ring at the same time as photos surfaced of her and Wade’s connection. Though the thirteenth season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is projected to premiere this November, here is the latest news on potential cast mates.

Fans convinced Lady Gaga’s new TikTok isn’t actually her – Dexerto
Fans convinced Lady Gaga’s new TikTok isn’t actually her TikTok: ladygagaLady Gaga’s newest TikTok video is sending fans for a loop as they can barely recognize the famous singer-songwriter, with some joking she’s got a doppelganger. Lady Gaga, like many other celebrities, has a substantial following on multiple social media platforms where fans can leave comments and keep up with her latest projects. While the singer’s posts often garner millions of likes each, her latest video on TikTok is sparking a conversation of a different kind as fans are going slack-jawed over her appearance. On May 17, Gaga uploaded a video advertising her makeup brand, Haus Labs. However, it’s not the company’s new lippies that have fans going ‘Gaga’ — instead, it’s the ‘Applause’ singer’s looks that has them raising an eyebrow. Lady Gaga’s newest TikTok sparks wild theories about her appearance In the clip, Gaga does look a bit different, although it’s hard to put a finger on what exactly has changed about her. Some fans have speculated that she’s simply lost weight, while others theorized that she’s gotten a body double to stand in for her social media posts. Still others have joked that it’s actually Miley Cyrus cosplaying as her in the video. Whatever the case may be, it’s clear that viewers are picking up a significant difference in Gaga’s appearance, and it’s making for quite an interesting conversation. “My mind is fighting over deciding whether this is Miley Cyrus or Lady Gaga,” one commenter joked. “This might not be Lady Gaga?” another said. “Am I crazy?” “Ok, Ozempic Gaga wasn’t on my bingo card,” another said, referencing a drug by the same name used to treat both diabetes and aid in weight loss. Taking a peek at Gaga’s Instagram, it does look as though she has lost weight, although it cannot be certain the singer used a drug to achieve her weight loss results. Gaga is also starring in the upcoming Joker sequel alongside Joaquin Phoenix, which is set to release in October 2024. This isn’t the first time a celebrity’s appearance has sent TikTok into a frenzy; just last month, pop star Ariana Grande sparked concern from fans after they claimed she had lost a lot of weight.

Fans confused as PewDiePie ‘loses’ YouTube verification on mobile – Dexerto
Fans confused as PewDiePie ‘loses’ YouTube verification on mobile YouTube: PewDiePieFans of top YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg have been left confused after the 100 million+ subscribed channel has apparently been caught up in the verification debacle. On September 19, YouTube rolled out a new verification system, which effectively removed the verified ‘tick’ badge from countless channels, in a move that left the community confused. After significant backlash, CEO Susan Wojcicki said that they had “missed the mark” with the change, and the removal of verification badges was reverted on September 20. PewDiePie’s channel did not lose verification, at least on desktop, but fans later noticed that on mobile he had no badge. YouTube stated in a Tweet that “the checkmark has never appeared on mobile pages” and that it would be added soon, but it was pointed out that some YouTubers, including James Charles, did, in fact, have a verified tick on mobile, when they are searched for. Another popular YouTuber, Shane Dawson, also has a verified badge when searched for on YouTube mobile. The lack of a verified badge next to PewDiePie’s name on mobile immediately sparked backlash, as users were perhaps unaware that the verified tick is often not displayed on mobile anyway. Pewdiepie isn’t even verified anymore. pic.twitter.com/waHfa5OXP1 — Hype Colby :soon: SoaR (@HypeColby) September 19, 2019 LMAO YOUTUBES ON CRACK, skeppy, a6d and bbh lost their verification for youtube AND AND AND. EVEN PEWDIEPIE LOST IT?? i swear youtube is slowly losing its mind :/ — abby !! ☁︎ (@kokoacat_) September 19, 2019 James Charles himself spoke out against YouTube’s new verification system (which has now been reverted), branding it “pointless”. I’m really sorry to the creators who are being unverified on @YouTube today. This decision is really pointless and it’s yet another change not a single person asked for :neutral_face: PLEASE know that you are still valid as a creator and I hope that a stupid checkmark doesn’t discourage you! — James Charles (@jamescharles) September 19, 2019 Jacksepticeye, a frequent collaborator of PewDiePie, is another who doesn’t have the verified box pop-up when his name is searched on mobile, despite having over 20 million subscribers. He also spoke out on the topic, calling the move to unverify creators a “slap in the face.” Everyone getting unverified on YT today. It’s a slap in the face but try not let it get to you and demotivate you. Keep creating and making cool shit. — Jacksepticeye (@Jack_Septic_Eye) September 19, 2019 With YouTube now restoring verification to all those who lost it, and introducing a more robust system for granting verification, the main complaints about the change have been resolved. The confusion was caused because of the inconsistency of some users having the verified badge on mobile, while PewDiePie – the most subscribed-to individual creator – and others, were left without.

Fans convinced Alix Earle snubbed taking pic with Tana Mongeau over “brand” risk – Dexerto
Fans convinced Alix Earle snubbed taking pic with Tana Mongeau over “brand” risk Instagram: alix_earle, tanamongeauFans are convinced that internet star Alix Earle avoided taking pics with fellow influencer Tana Mongeau to avoid possible risks to her brand. Tana Mongeau is a longtime content creator who’s famous for her humorous storytime videos and over-the-top vlogs. Tana, a self-described party animal, is known for getting rowdy at parties all over the globe with other top stars — and during one party, she was told by another influencer that they couldn’t snap a photo with her. Mongueau was shocked by the ordeal and spoke about it on a recent episode of YouTuber Trisha Paytas’ podcast, Just Trish… and fans think they know who the influencer is. Tana Mongeau says “huge influencer” didn’t want to take pic with her Tana opened up about the incident during an October 22 episode of the Just Trish podcast, saying a certain influencer refused to take photos with her at a party. “It was really crazy,” Tana began. “She’s a huge influencer. We were out at a party and she was with all of her friends, and all of her friends and I were taking a photo together, and they were asking her to get in it, and she was like, ‘Oh, that’s not good for my brand.’” (Topic begins at 14:16) “And then she’ll call me blackout drunk like, ‘What’s the party? Where should I go?’” Tana continued. “Her brand is not that squeaky-clean,” Trisha interjected. “It did catch me by surprise,” Tana admitted. Although the pair didn’t give any further details, fans are convinced that Tana must have been talking about internet “it girl” Alix Earle, although this theory is not confirmed. However, other commenters aren’t convinced about this theory, since Earle is in the thumbnail of Tana’s vlog about her Tarte brand trip. A fair few viewers believe it could be TikTok star Addison Rae, who is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming movie, ‘Thanksgiving.’ For now, it’s unclear which influencer didn’t want to be photographed with Tana, leaving viewers fiending for answers. We’ll keep you updated if Tana says anything right here on Dexerto.

DaBaby responds after JoJo Siwa diss in new track causes uproar – Dexerto
DaBaby responds after JoJo Siwa diss in new track causes uproar YouTube: DaBaby/JoJo Siwa2021 has seen the start of a lot of new online beef, but one feud we didn’t see coming was one between 29-year-old rapper DaBaby and 17-year-old Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa. DaBaby dropped his latest track, ‘Beatbox Freestyle’, along with a music video, but many fans were puzzled to hear him mention the name of Dance Moms alumnus JoJo Siwa. With DaBaby never appearing to be linked to Siwa in any way in the past, her name popping up in his song was certainly a surprise. As DaBaby raps the line “You a b*tch, JoJo Siwa b*tch”, he holds up a photo of her on his phone, so fans are left with no doubt about who he was referring to. But many were left wondering exactly why he was referring to her. Did DaBaby diss JoJo Siwa? After significant uproar over the potential diss, DaBaby finally responded on Twitter tweeting directly to JoJo Siwa and confirming they had no beef. He wrote, “My 3-year-old princess is your number 1 fan. I bought her every product you have out. She thinks she’s you. Face with tears of joy. “Don’t let ’em trick you into thinking id ever have a problem with you. My wordplay just went over their heads. All love on my end shawty, Keep shining!” @itsjojosiwa my 3 year old princess is your number 1 fan. I bought her every product you have out. She think she you.😂 Don’t let em trick you into thinking id ever have a problem with you. My word play just went over their heads. All love on my end shawty, Keep shinning! 💝 — DaBaby (@DaBabyDaBaby) February 21, 2021 Genius also explained the wordplay on their website: “DaBaby compares the tendencies of his opposition to JoJo. In response, he promises to make them remember not to mess with him. Here, ‘Siwa’ functions as a homophone with ‘see why’.” In light of this, it can be said that the mention of Siwa in the track is nothing more than a coincidence: her name just happened to be a good rhyme. But, that didn’t stop fans on the internet going into overdrive… Fans respond to JoJo Siwa ‘diss’ Although there’s no beef, that didn’t stop fans from reacting with confusion and, of course, memes. One fan on YouTube said what everyone was thinking, with their comment remarking “that JoJo Siwa diss came right tf out of nowhere” gaining 4.5k likes. Another YouTube commenter quipped: “Did JoJo not send him a bow or something?” Read More: What is the Hamster Cult on TikTok? – Meanwhile, on Twitter, fans got a little more creative. Several fans produced memes joking about the fact that Siwa is actually taller than DaBaby, given that she stands at 5’9 while he is only 5’7. https://twitter.com/thrashrad/status/1363288038349103108 dababy got no reason calling out jojo siwa like that😭😭 pic.twitter.com/ZYHgvE8Ls3 — jv (@Gabagatt) February 21, 2021 Other fans joked that Siwa should respond with a diss track of her own: https://twitter.com/emkensey7/status/1363471847929561095 With JoJo also selling a lot of merchandise for children, other fans suggested that the mention may be the result of a disgruntled father who has bought one too many JoJo bows: Dababy‘s daughter spent all his money buying jojo siwa merch so now he’s maaaaddd pic.twitter.com/ouPAvlNAi2 — mushroom (@muusshhroom) February 21, 2021 JoJo Siwa most recently inspired her fanbase after coming out following a TikTok where she lip-synced to LGBTQ+ anthem ‘Born This Way’ by Lady Gaga. She also revealed the identity of her girlfriend with some adorable photos, remarking that she is the “happiest she has ever been.”

Fans confused after Tana Mongeau loses YouTube verification – Dexerto
Fans confused after Tana Mongeau loses YouTube verification Instagram: tanamongeauControversial YouTuber Tana Mongeau may have gone one step too far this time in the eyes of YouTube HQ, as she has seemingly lost verification status on her YouTube channel. With 5.45 million subscribers, Tana Mongeau is one the biggest names on YouTube right now. Known originally for her comedic ‘storytime’ videos, the creator is now mostly known for her on-off relationship (and live-streamed wedding) with fellow influencer Jake Paul, her disastrous self-titled festival ‘TanaCon’ and for being embroiled in various other controversies. While being sidelined by platforms isn’t new to Mongeau – she describes herself in her YouTube bio as a “struggling demonetized influencer” – many fans were surprised to find that her YouTube channel had seemingly lost its verification status in recent days. According to Def Noodles on Twitter, Tana’s verification tick has been removed from her channel entirely. Verification does not appear on desktop either pic.twitter.com/wfzrwcOe9x — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) October 4, 2020 For comparison, this is how Pewdiepie’s channel appears on desktop and mobile. Verification only appears on desktop. For Tana, it doesn’t appear on desktop or mobile. pic.twitter.com/ZymjxdMMzm — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) October 4, 2020 According to DefNoodles, the deverification of Mongeau’s YouTube channel can be problematic for her career because YouTube tends to prioritize content from verified sources in algorithm placement. This then means that without verification, Mongeau’s content will be greatly impacted in terms of how they rank on YouTube’s algorithms. Fans had a mixed response to Mongeau’s apparent deverification. Some fans were confused, with one questioning why other problematic stars like Jake Paul, Jeffree Star, Trish Paytas remain verified. YouTubers are verified? If that is true, why is Logan Paul, Jeffree Star, Trish Paytas still verified? — Terri-Lee Plante (@tlp23rocks) October 4, 2020 Why did Tana Mongeau’s channel get unverified? There is a lot of speculation surrounding YouTube’s decision to verify Mongeau’s YouTube channel. Many fans are suggesting that the reason she was deverified wasn’t based on her actions, but on more of a technicality. Namely, that she changed her YouTube name to Tana Paul following her marriage before changing it back to Tana Mongeau after the marriage broke down. It’s because she changed her name to Tana Paul and back to Tana Mongeau. I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been verified since she changed it. — POCHAMA MIA (@NickPochama) October 4, 2020 Alternatively, it is plausible that her unverification is the result of her latest controversy, which many have suggested is a possible breach of US electoral law. In October, Mongeau promised fans a ‘reward’ if they sent her proof they voted for Joe Biden in the US Elections. However, in sixteen US states, it is a crime to share a photo of who you vote for. Her pledge to send photos to fans who vote for Biden is also argued to be a breach of electoral laws on vote buying, which is also illegal in 13 US states. Given Mongeau’s controversial past, it is near-impossible to say the reason behind her unverification. Mongeau is yet to respond to the news.

Fans concerned for YouTuber ApolloLegend after suicide report trends on Twitter – Dexerto
Fans concerned for YouTuber ApolloLegend after suicide report trends on Twitter Apollo Legend YouTubeFriends and fans of Benjamin ‘Apollo Legend’ Smith were concerned when the longtime YouTuber was trending on Twitter after posting a suicide video/letter on his channel. Multiple sources have reportedly since confirmed his passing with authorities on December 30. Earlier that day, Apollo published a last message along with an eight-minute video explaining how he came to his decision. People close to him and those who enjoyed his content quickly mobilized to reach out to the embattled YouTuber. Hours later, The Spectre Report and other news aggregators reportedly confirmed with local police that Apollo was found dead in his home, though no family members have confirmed this at the time of writing. “Police made entry into his house. It is now confirmed he is deceased. No cause of death or anything more than that was provided as they need to inform do everything right by his family, but I can confirm this much,” The Spectre Report said. Deputy Hagdoll just confirmed to @BanishedJourno @nicholasdeorio @AugieRFC and two others that @Apollo_Legend_ was found deceased earlier. His family has been notified, but no other information was provided. I understand Trust, but Verify and so my feelings aren’t hurt. — The Spectre Report (@TheSpectreRep) December 31, 2020 A GoFundMe to raise money for Apollo’s loved ones has seemingly been set up by YouTuber himself in the moments leading up to his reported passing. In the letter he penned, Apollo described the mental and physical pain he endured throughout his life, especially in the last year. He mentioned various ailments to his body that prevented him from living a life in content. His video and final message has since been taken down by YouTube for violating the site’s terms of service. Fans were sending encouraging messages to the YouTuber in the late hours of the night in an attempt to reach him. There was an outpour of love and concern from users on Twitter in the hours after his upload, which caused him to trend on the platform. A popular member of the speedrun community, he left his mark on games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, and more. Many in the community will remember him fondly as people are directing others to his YouTube channel to reminisce over the videos that are still listed. While multiple reports claim the personality has passed away, there has been no official confirmation from family as of yet.

Minecraft streamer trolls viewers with live house “break-in” – Dexerto
Minecraft streamer trolls viewers with live house “break-in” A Polish Minecraft streamer’s broadcast was interrupted abruptly when a group of masked men broke into his house and attacked him during his stream, leaving fans confused and concerned for his safety – but it was all a prank. Streaming is unpredictable as it’s as live as it gets, which means some broadcasts can pick up the unthinkable. From a streamer being car-jacked, to many getting swatted, we’ve unfortunately seen it all. However a Polish Minecraft player’s November 16 broadcast alarmed many on social media sites like Reddit, when a handful of men wearing masks barged their way into his room, and attack the streamer before carrying him off. Fans were left wondering about the safety of the online personality, while some even speculated that the whole thing could be a hoax straight off the bat – which it was. Streamer trolls viewers with break-in hoax YouTuber ‘Bagietka Michael‘ was streaming Minecraft on the video-hosting platform when thirty minutes into the broadcast, he looked up to a loud noise to the right of the screen. A man was then seen to emerge from behind him, who then pushed the streamer into another man to the right. Screams and other inaudible noises were soon heard as the streamer was thrown onto the bed, where one of the men hit him before a struggle ensued between the online personality and his assailant. The group of four men were all wearing masks of sorts that obscured their faces. As the attack went on, the Minecraft streamer was then dragged off the bed by his leg, where he hit the floor before the group of men each grabbed a part of his body, and lifted and carried him out of the room against his will. The streamer could be heard crying out in pain as they hit him, and continued to take him out of the room. A couple of the attackers doubled back once the streamer and the other men had left the shot, and appeared to search for something.

While some were concerned for the streamer, others cast their doubts about the incident, predicting that the whole thing was “staged” and a hoax. Bagietka Michael later returned to his YouTube broadcast to confirm that the whole thing was a joke, much to the relief of fans who were worried about the streamer’s wellbeing.

Fans concerned for Jamie Foxx after his first public appearance following hospitalization – Dexerto
Fans concerned for Jamie Foxx after his first public appearance following hospitalization TMZJamie Foxx appeared in public after being hospitalized for health issues for quite some time. However, his appearance has only made fans more worried about the star. Jamie Foxx’s daughter posted on social media in April that he had been hospitalized at an Atlanta hospital for a “medical complication.” Now, a video posted by TMZ has concerned fans about the health condition of the actor after his hospitalization. He was seen in a boat on the Chicago River along with some family members, and other guests. Foxx was waving at fans with one hand as he weaved a peace sign. Reportedly, he looked “pretty vibrant, and happy to see fans as well.” Fans concerned with Jamie’s public appearance Reacting to the viral video, fans expressed their concern for the actor’s health on social media. Some users even thought it was a clone, while others worried that Jamie’s health condition was still serious. Others were confused with his choice of making an appearance on a boat rather than a car. Twitter user Health Ranger reposted the video and wrote, “Jamie Foxx filmed NOT walking, NOT talking, and only waving with one arm, all of which is consistent with a stroke victim who still has motor control over half his body, but not so much the other half.” They also hope that the actor recovers quickly, but disagreed with people who think this video proves he is completely okay. Some fans argued that it looks like Jamie is just relaxing or steering the boat. Others pointed out that a stroke victim would not be allowed to be on a boat, unattended. Meanwhile, some fans questioned why someone would wave with both their arms. “People usually wave with one arm. Nothing shows that he doesn’t have control of half his body.” There has been no response from Jamie or his family after fans’ confusion and speculation about his health.

Fans concerned for Charli D’Amelio after creepy figure appears in TikTok – Dexerto
Fans concerned for Charli D’Amelio after creepy figure appears in TikTok celebrity livin, YouTube[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Charli D’Amelio is sparking concern across her fanbase, with viewers noticing what appears to be a shady figure watching the influencer in one of her viral dance videos. D’Amelio is more than just a social media mogul: she’s also a competitive dancer, and as such, boasts a slew of popular dance videos on TikTok, home to her 68.5 million followers. While plenty of TikToks contain questionable content, one of D’Amelio’s latest uploads is drawing concern from fans, with some viewers even expressing fear for her physical safety. The video in question, published on June 26, features 16-year-old D’Amelio dancing in a bikini outside. However, it’s not her dance moves that are prompting fans’ anxiety — instead, it’s the shadowy figure that appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Although it’s hard to tell if the figure is a person watching the TikToker from afar or a hand holding out a camera to covertly film the star on the rooftop nearby, it’s certainly enough to set one on edge; so much so that fans are doing everything in their power to alert D’Amelio of potential predators near her own home. Still others hypothesized that the figure could be controversial influencer LovelyPeaches, who sent out a r*pe threat toward D’Amelio a week prior to the concerning video — and purportedly even hired a 30-year-old man to carry out the horrendous act. Considering the recent developments regarding Peaches, fans reached out to Hype House co-founder Thomas Petrou, asking that he protect D’Amelio from potential harm (despite Charli having severed ties with the organization in early May). “Will do,” Petrou said in response to one fan. “Anyone attacks her, I’ll k**l them.” D’Amelio herself has yet to comment on the matter, although she did express that she’d rather not discuss the LovelyPeaches threat during a conversation with paparazzi. With Charli remaining largely silent in spite of fan concerns, viewers are more desperate than ever for the queen of TikTok’s safety — especially in wake of threats against the star’s physical wellbeing (which were enough to get Peaches banned from the app, no less).

Fans concerned for Charli D’Amelio after Peaches sends threatening DMs – Dexerto
Fans concerned for Charli D’Amelio after Peaches sends threatening DMs Charli D’Amelio, lovelypeachesmusic100 – Instagram[jwplayer ksH6zuKH]TikTok star Charli D’Amelio is sparking concern across her fanbase after controversial influencer Lovely Peaches sent a series of concerning direct messages to her — and even claimed to be hiding outside her home. Lovely Peaches has been a divisive figure across the internet for some time, in large part due to her shocking treatment of Charli D’Amelio, the most popular creator on TikTok with over 71 million followers. The 16-year-old internet star became a subject of concern in late June, after Peaches sent out a shocking threat toward the dancer, claiming that she’d hired a 30-year-old man to sexually assault her. It seems that this threat hasn’t gone away, either, with Peaches sending D’Amelio a series of highly inappropriate and threatening messages via Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHgEQHF4Ww/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link While Peaches’ Instagram account is private, followers were able to share her screenshots of the messages; and what was sent is nothing less than disturbing. “Turn yourself in,” the messages read. “We not playing. The guy who’s gonna **** you is cute. He’s ******* me also. Trust me. You’ll enjoy the ****.” As if that wasn’t awful enough, Peaches likewise alleged that the man she’d hired to carry out the deed was part of D’Amelio’s security — but later claimed he’d been fired. That’s not all; Peaches also posted photos to her Instagram stories that seemed to have been taken outside Charli’s home, and even claimed to be hiding in the bushes for an opportunity to enact her deplorable plan. Considering all the threats made against Charli, fans are taking to social media out of fear for her safety — but older sister Dixie has confirmed in prior paparazzi interviews that her family is aware of the situation, although she wasn’t at liberty to speak too much about the issue, at the time. For now, all fans can do is watch, wait and help keep D’Amelio abreast of the scenario as Peaches’ actions grow ever-more concerning, even accusing the star of “bullying” her and sending her fans to harass her over the matter. Charli has yet to speak out about the subject at the time of writing.

Fans concerned as Corinna Kopf announces break from social media – Dexerto
Fans concerned as Corinna Kopf announces break from social media Corinna Kopf, Instagram / The Hollywood Fix, YouTubeWhile popular YouTuber Fortnite pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney, she’s even become a regular Twitch streamer, but recent posts from Kopf are inciting concern across her fanbase. While Kopf has been known to vent her frustrations on Twitter before, the YouTuber’s Tweets in late June are sounding off alarm bells for some fans, who speculate that relationship troubles could be brewing between Tfue and his lady love. Kopf posted a Tweet on June 21 that revealed some conflicting feelings for the YouTuber, writing, “I care too much about other people’s feelings to do what’s best for my own.” i care too much about other people’s feelings to do what’s best for my own — Pouty Girl (@CorinnaKopf) June 22, 2019 Kopf later tweeted out a simple sad face emoji, but that post was quickly deleted, followed by a much more concerning message on June 30. “Just a little heads up, I’m going to be taking some time off of social media,” she announced. “Maybe a few days. Ily guys.” just a little heads up, i’m going to be taking some time off of social media… maybe a few days. ily guys. — Pouty Girl (@CorinnaKopf) June 30, 2019 Although many fans came out in support of Kopf, some are questioning her current relationship status, with others placing the full blame on Tfue for reasons as yet unrevealed. “What did you do now, Tfue?” one commenter asked. “Bro, Tfue don’t need no feelings dawg,” another user wrote. Kopf’s June 30 Tweet follows another concerning statement made during a live stream on June 21, where she claimed that she was upset with Tfue for not following through when the two make plans. “I can’t tell you how many times he tells me he’s gonna do something and I sit there and fucking watch him play,” Kopf explained. “If you say we’re gonna play, let’s fucking play.” The two even jokingly “broke up” during a joint stream on June 27, with Kopf “complaining” that Tfue isn’t “putting in effort” to visit her in Los Angeles, while she flies cross country to visit him on a regular basis. While neither Tfue nor Kopf have yet to explain her social media hiatus in greater detail, fans are waiting with bated breath for further updates from the couple in light of Kopf’s apparently distressing posts.

Fans concerned for ASMR YouTuber Jisu Sentiment after worrying posts – Dexerto
Fans concerned for ASMR YouTuber Jisu Sentiment after worrying posts YouTube: Jisu SentimentFans of ASMR YouTuber Jisu Sentiment have become increasingly concerned after a series of troubling posts suggesting mental health issues and suicidal thoughts. Jisu Sentiment has over 600,000 subscribers on his ASMR YouTube channel, often racking up hundreds of thousands of views on his videos. His most recent upload at the time of writing, which was posted on April 8, was titled ‘Final Video.’ The video itself, while not specifically about mental health issues, details difficulty creating his style of content, but also says in the description that he “still doesn’t know when his last days will come.” He then adds at the end of the video description that he “might just leave the world altogether.” Then, late on April 12, Jisu posted a picture of an almost empty glass to the Community tab on his YouTube channel, captioning it “You did a great job in this life :).” This came after several updates, including one that read “I’m so depressed to constantly not be able to make videos. I really want to give up altogether. Please tell me you won’t leave.” Naturally, these Community posts received hundreds of comments in support of Jisu, urging him to seek help or reach out to someone to speak about what is going on. He also went live to talk to his fans, discussing his suicidal thoughts and reminding his fans that they are “forcing him to live.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1381726879544082434?s=20 Naturally, fans and peers alike are incredibly concerned for Jisu’s wellbeing.

Fans concerned after JustAMinx streams with two black eyes & broken nose – Dexerto
Fans concerned after JustAMinx streams with two black eyes & broken nose Twitch: JustaMinxFans of Twitch streamer JustAMinx were concerned after she went live with two black eyes and a busted nose, leaving viewers wondering what happened. JustAMinx is a popular Irish streamer on Twitch, where she boasts two million followers. In 2022, Minx made her boxing debut at Creator Clash, where she took home the victory in the first-ever official women’s influencer-boxing match. Despite her history with the ‘sweet science,’ fans were left baffled after she suddenly appeared in a disheveled state on June 14, 2023, with two badly bruised eyes and a cut on her nose during a broadcast. JustAMinx sparks panic from fans after streaming with black eyes The mass confusion first began on June 9, when JustAMinx posted a selfie to Twitter, where she boasted a few cuts on her nose and lips. “My face hurts,” she captioned the picture. She’s been streaming over the past several days since, with the injuries to her face seemingly increasing each time she went live. Things escalated when she streamed on June 14, boasting severely swollen eyes and a crushed nose. This immediately sparked a panic among viewers, who were quick to ask what had happened to her on social media. Although she’s certainly received some battle scars, Minx claims that no, she was not “jumped” — instead, this is a result of her boxing training, which she’s carried on with over the past several months despite one of her most recent fights getting canceled due to Visa issues. According to Minx, she came home “absolutely wrecked” after a training session earlier this month. She laid down and began to feel lightheaded, allegedly seeing ‘kaleidoscope-like’ shapes and colors. Minx was initially worried as she is epileptic, meaning that she does suffer from occasional seizures. “The last thing I remember is freaking the f*ck out and looking up to the ceiling [being] like, ‘Please don’t have a seizure. I just remember waking up. …I look down, and my top is covered in f*cking blood.” She also explained that she is anemic, a condition that means she bruises more easily (and more intensely) than other people. JustAMinx begins discussing her injuries at the 14:15 mark in the video below. Despite confirming that her nose is indeed broken, Minx went on to assure fans of her general well-being. For the moment, it appears intense boxing training will have to take a backseat while her nose continues healing.

Fans concerned as Tana Mongeau appears seriously intoxicated in viral TikTok – Dexerto
Fans concerned as Tana Mongeau appears seriously intoxicated in viral TikTok Instagram: tanamongeauFans of YouTuber Tana Mongeau have raised concerns for the star, some even suggesting she could be suffering from substance addiction, after footage of an interview in June went viral on TikTok. In an interview originally uploaded by the TikTok tea account ‘withpeaceandluv’, Tana can be seen discussing her pledge to box ex Bella Thorne in the wake of the upcoming YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing match. Revealing that she had some “amazing offers from Triller”, Tana can heard telling interviewers that whether or not Bella is willing to fight her, she will definitely be stepping in the ring in the near future. However, it wasn’t the contents of the interview that caught fans attention. During the exchange, Tana’s speech is slurred and she appears unsteady and lacking in focus, which led many viewers to presume that she was drunk or high. This concern was later reinforced in a second clip from the same tea account, which was uploaded with the tagline ‘Tana Mongeau caught wasted’, a clearly intoxicated Mongeau can be seen approaching a taxi following an event before stopping to talk to paparazzo Kevin Wong. Asking her about what advice she’d give to Addison and Bryce, she said that they should “get millions of views and be hot” before bidding Wong goodnight, telling all the paparazzi that she “loves” them. https://www.tiktok.com/@st0nedswiftie/video/6969782433952648453?_d=secCgYIASAHKAESMgow2Oyjsronh6OjurNeN87Lp87llcPmuMdLAsxe8bD9WOnHS8QDVOKaM9T165C1c4GgA&checksum=56c457086e32552248c05a930e3248e828155dd1011072852c621778c85f747a&language=en&preview_pb=0&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAAq3qvS0NqO088FQb4z7xe_EUzFsEzCCq5pLmWBGyJDix1lR09t6Em5c-YJe0EB-EN&share_app_id=1233&share_item_id=6969782433952648453&share_link_id=B99F7F1A-3FDF-4866-8255-CA6A9C58D422&source=h5_m×tamp=1622887309&tt_from=copy&u_code=d0m77mk6meef3i&user_id=6573738905467404293&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=copy&_r=1&is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6899572386632500741 Both of these clips were edited together in a TikTok uploaded by user ‘mouse’, with the video also displaying a comment saying: “She’s unfortunately very obviously struggling with some kind of addiction. You can tell in her videos. She looks messed up.” With the TikTok getting hundreds and thousands of views, users in the comments were quick to express their concerns. One user said: “This is scary dude”, while several other speculated that Tana might be taking the substance Xanax. Another user said that they “hope she gets help one day.” Tana has deleted videos and songs about her drug habit and addiction, where have y’all been? Not saying that we should ignore this or be insensitive about it either. If this is just alcohol then let her live I’ve had nights full of four lokos it’s part of being young — do it like its my b day (@VickyLynnLovey) June 5, 2021 Meanwhile, other fans seemed to object to speculation that she might be struggling with addiction, with one asking: “Isn’t she just drunk?” Over on Twitter, one user encouraged people to keep “perspective”, saying: “All I’ve got to say is that I’m grateful I didn’t have a camera in my face and someone interviewing me at the end of a night out when I was 22 years old.” Whether or not Mongeau is just having fun like every other person her age or experiencing something deeper is unclear, but the YouTuber is yet to comment publicly on the rumors.

Fans, cheerleaders and players fight in must-see high school basketball brawl – Dexerto
Fans, cheerleaders and players fight in must-see high school basketball brawl Twitter/kyleb0418A massive melee at a girl’s high school basketball game in Oklahoma is going viral after cheerleaders, players, and even spectators started fighting. It’s not exactly uncommon to see fisticuffs at sporting events, especially when alcohol is involved, but a recent fight at a basketball game has the internet talking. Earlier in February, the Star Spencer H.S. girl’s team lost their regionals match against Tulsa Central High and all hell broke loose. Although what started the fight isn’t known, the action was caught on camera and you’ve gotta see it to believe it. Basket BRAWL breaks out at high school In video footage in the tweet below, around twenty people began squaring off, some with multiple dance partners. While some in the crowd threw punches, others were trying to restrain the combatants, which seemed to only make the situation even worse and caused tempers to flare. Players in jerseys threw haymakers, fans got involved and it seemed as if the cheerleaders were about to climb on top of each other and form a giant mecha cheering robot to squash everyone. Almost comically, the footage even features an older gentleman in the front row seemingly just enjoying watching the madness unfold completely nonchalantly. Seriously though, this rumble was wild and it’s a miracle no one got hurt when the Morris Police Department broke it up, according to KFOR. “This was an unfortunate incident and does not reflect the values or sportsmanship that OKCPS expects of our students and fans,” Oklahoma Public School’s spokesperson said. “OKCPS officials worked with Tulsa Public Schools and the OSSAA to investigate the incident.” Multiple adults who were involved in the brawl ended up being banned from Tulsa Public Schools athletic events, but those bans will be lifted next year. This is hardly the first multi-person battle we’ve seen this year. Recently, a man dubbed the ‘Real-Life Undertaker’ took on eight people at once at a gas station and a group of girls pistol-whipped a guy in a restaurant after he attacked one of them.

Fans can’t get over Addison Rae and Olivia Rodrigo’s viral Instagram pics together – Dexerto
Fans can’t get over Addison Rae and Olivia Rodrigo’s viral Instagram pics together TikTok: addisonreTikTok star Addison Rae recently posed for a photo with Grammy-winning music artist Olivia Rodrigo, and fans can’t get enough of this surprising pairing. Addison Rae is one of TikTok’s biggest stars. Boasting over 88 million followers on the viral video app, every one of her social media posts gets hundreds of thousands of likes… but her latest Instagram pic is going incredibly viral. On October 2, 2022, Rae posted a photo of herself alongside ‘Driver’s License’ singer Olivia Rodrigo — a completely unexpected turn of events, but not an unwelcome one for fans. Thus far, the post has garnered over 1.9 million likes and counting as fans pour into the comments section to express their hype and disbelief that Addison and Liv are apparently besties now. “A duo I didn’t know I needed!” one excited fan wrote. “Iconic AF!” another said. “New fav duo!” yet another chimed in. Addison Rae and Olivia Rodrigo have hung out before This isn’t the first time Addison and Olivia have hung out, though. The two stars attended a pottery class together this summer, which Addison shared in her Instagram stories. They even made a hilarious video as a way to share even more pics together, poking fun at paparazzi approaching them for photos on the street. It’s unclear if these two have any plans to make music together; Rae notably dove into the music industry last year and even performed her first song ‘Obsessed’ on the Tonight Show, but hasn’t released any new tunes since then. However, an entire album’s-worth of unreleased tracks got leaked on Soundcloud in August — and fans were ecstatic about the songs, which were largely met with praise from Addison’s viewers. This is just the latest celebrity encounter Addison Rae has publicly shared over the past week; just last month, Rae posted a video that showed none other than Lil Nas X autographing her chest with a Sharpie marker that similarly went viral.

Fans call Keke Palmer and Usher collab “brilliant” after Darius Jackson moves on – Dexerto
Fans call Keke Palmer and Usher collab “brilliant” after Darius Jackson moves on YouTube: UsherKeke Palmer and Usher decided to collaborate on a new song, despite her ex-boyfriend’s disapproval of the way Keke carries herself – and fans are here for it. Usher is known for serenading female celebrities while performing his residency in Las Vegas, so when Keke Palmer was in the audience, he knew just what to do. However, Keke isn’t the only celebrity that Usher has approached while singing in front of thousands of fans at his concerts, as he’s propositioned women like Saweetie and Winnie Harlow, as well. Though the R&B singer does this all in good fun, Keke’s then-boyfriend Darius Jackson didn’t take well to his baby’s mother dancing and singing on stage in a risqué outfit with another man. Despite Keke’s now ex-boyfriend not approving of the playful incident, Keke and Usher have chosen to capitalize on their viral encounter on stage. Keke Palmer stars in Usher’s new music video for his song ‘Boyfriend’ After Usher’s July 4 concert in Las Vegas where he and Keke danced and sang on stage, Keke’s boyfriend at the time tweeted his flabbergasted opinion of Keke, as she was in an outfit that the retired NFL running back didn’t approve of. Darius went as far as tweeting that he had morals that didn’t align with Keke’s decision, saying, “This is my family and my representation. I have standards and morals to what I believe. I rest my case.” Though Darius has reportedly moved on and is focusing on his health, as he recently posted to social media clips of himself working out, Keke is busy making her own business moves, as this morning, Usher released a music video featuring Keke called ‘Boyfriend.’ In his new song, Usher opened up with the lyrics, “Somebody said that your boyfriend’s looking for me, if that’s cool, that’s cool. Well, he should know I’m pretty easy to find. Just look for me wherever he sees you.” The music video itself is a diss towards Keke’s ex, as the whole concept of the video is about a woman who slept through Usher’s concert and dreamt about the opportunity of singing with him. Keke even went as far as reiterating her iconic phrase in the song, saying, “S—t, I’m so tired… I am a mother, after all,” while winking at the camera. After the clip of Keke in Usher’s music video went viral, fans took to Reddit to call the collaboration “brilliant” and “so clever.” Fans even credited Keke for being the “Queen” of pettiness for starring alongside Usher after the controversy surrounding her and Darius. Another fan shared their support for Keke, saying, “This is f—ing amazing. I’m so sorry. That’s how you put a controlling man in his place.” Since the release of Usher’s song and music video ‘Boyfriend,’ Keke has taken to Instagram to share her gratitude towards him, saying, “Thank you for encouraging me and seeing me as the entertainer I am.” Though Keke and Darius are no longer dating, they will be co-parenting their infant son together. Keke nor Darius have yet to comment on their current situation-ship after Usher’s release – but one thing is for sure, and it’s that Keke is in her bag and ready to work!

Fans call Nicki Minaj’s NPC impression the worst they’ve ever seen – Dexerto
Fans call Nicki Minaj’s NPC impression the worst they’ve ever seen Twitter: Pop BaseNicki Minaj officially tried out TikTok’s NPC trend, but fans weren’t exactly impressed with her take on the viral fad. TikTok’s viral NPC trend has individuals acting like a “non-player character” from a video game, doing robotic and repetitive acts for money during live streams. This craze has turned everyday people into influencers who make thousands of dollars a day. Pinkydoll, who gained stardom for her NPC videos in January this year, now makes roughly $7,000 daily for her eccentric live streams. Not only are influencers keeping the NPC trend alive, but celebrities like Nicki Minaj have also begun making their own renditions of the popular fad. Fans call Nicki Minaj’s NPC livestream “cringy” Though Nicki Minaj is one of rap’s greatest female artists, coming in at number seven on Complex’s 50 Best New York Rappers of All Time list, fans of hers haven’t been the biggest supporters of her latest stream. Minaj seemingly enjoyed herself while live-streaming as an NPC. She even addressed her rap career, saying she “destroys these ho*es” on the mic. However, fans weren’t too sure of her impersonation, with multiple people saying it was “cringy.” Nicki Minaj joins the NPC trend on TikTok. pic.twitter.com/Q8N4DAlsPg — Pop Base (@PopBase) August 13, 2023 Another person commented saying it was the worst NPC rendition they have ever seen, saying, “I love Nicki, but this is by far the worst NPC trend I’ve seen.” Others took to social media to drag the celebrity for needing money, saying, “People donating money to celebrities who have more money than 99% of people on earth will never make sense to me, and this goes out to every celeb who does this knowing it costs money.” People donating money to celebrities who have more money than 99% of people on earth will never make sense to me, and this goes out to every celeb who does this knowing it costs money. — BeerGomezGoulding (@khiiTho_) August 13, 2023 Minaj isn’t the only celebrity who has stepped out of their comfort zone to do their own NPC video. Rapper Lil Pump also recently live-streamed while acting as an NPC. Fans of his weren’t in favor of him doing so, saying that he “fell off so badly” for participating in the trend. Though fans aren’t too fond of celebrities trying to make more money than they already do while live-streaming, the NPC trend is far from over, as influencers like Pinkydoll and Cherry Crush continue to reach millions of views on TikTok.

Fans blast Disney’s $5,000 Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser after “luxury” suite goes viral – Dexerto
Fans blast Disney’s $5,000 Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser after “luxury” suite goes viral DisneyDisney have given Star Wars fans their first look inside their long-awaited Galactic Starcruiser hotel in Florida, but the $5,000 suites have raised a few eyebrows. For long-time Star Wars fans, the prospect of spending two nights in a Galactic Starcruiser plucked right of George Lucas’ sci-fi universe is a dream come true. That’s exactly what Disney promised when it announced the Halcyon, a new hotel as part of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World Resort Florida. Set to open on March 1, 2022, families can expect the ultimate Star Wars experience, as they receive Lightsaber training or greet a grumpy droid in the lobby. However, after the first look inside the $5,000 accommodation on offer on the Halcyon, fans are shocked at the size of the rooms. They have since been brutally mocked on social media, with one user even accusing Disney of “extortion.” A video circulating on Twitter gave Star Wars fans a brief tour around the “luxury” suits included in the $5,000 cost of the experience. The aesthetic is exactly like a ship that would be seen shooting past Tatooine, but the lack of space has caused some backlash. For the huge cost of entry, guests are only provided with a single room containing a double bed and small bunkbeds, and a cramped bathroom. Furious Twitter user VashSky shared the video, slamming Disney for expecting visitors to pay such a high sum. “The lack of effort is unforgivable. To charge $5000+ for an experience that includes these “luxury” accommodations is not only unacceptable; it’s extortion,” they said in the tweet. “The decision-makers at the company should be ashamed of themselves.” The lack of effort is unforgivable. To charge $5000+ for an experience that includes these “”luxury”” accommodations is not only unacceptable; it’s extortion. The decision-makers at the company should be ashamed of themselves.#GalacticStarcruiser#StarWarsGalacticStarCruiser pic.twitter.com/bwOjGE5FwV — Dre (@VashSky) February 24, 2022 As you can imagine, many other people replied poking fun at the state of the rooms. “Princess Leia’s prison cell on the Death Star was more spacious,” said Kervisk. “That looks like a dorm room. At a not-very-well-funded university,” said another post. “I actually don’t think I could fit in that shower,” replied dmirfin. “6’5″ with broad shoulders…I’d be pretty upset if I paid $5k and had to smell bad.” While we’re sure there is a lot more to see and do on the Galactic Starcruiser to justify a price of $5,000, some guests will likely be disappointed at the tiny suits. But it’s nothing that a quick visit from an Ewok won’t fix.

Fans blast Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman boxing PPV price: “what a f***ing rip off” – Dexerto
Fans blast Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman boxing PPV price: “what a f***ing rip off” Instagram: JakePaulBoxing fans do not approve of the price tag for Jake Paul’s upcoming match against Hasim Rahman Jr, calling it a massive rip-off. On August 6, YouTuber Jake Paul will make his long-awaited return to the ring with the goal of improving to 6-0 when he faces off against Hasim Rahman at Madison Square Garden. While the fight could very well be The Problem Child’s biggest test to date, it seems like fans aren’t eager to fork over $60 to Showtime to watch the fight live. In a viral tweet, rival KSI called out Jake Paul over the $60 price for the pay-per-view and plenty of boxing enthusiasts agreed that it was too damn high. Boxing fans unwilling to pay $60 on Jake Paul PPV fight After KSI slammed Jake Paul’s PPV price and insisted that his fight a few weeks later on August 27 would cost less, fans voiced their own opinions. “What a rip-off. F***ing 60 dollars. That’s basically how much the tickers were,” one upset boxing fan commented. “Bruh ain’t no one paying for either,” remarked another. Some claimed that they would still watch the fight, but only through nefarious means. “This is why pirating exists,” one wrote. “I’m still illegally watching it,” someone else said. Jake Paul defended the cost of his event, claiming that his five wins and “KO of the year” against Tyron Woodley was enough to warrant the price tag. “You’re fighting an influencer. I’m fighting a 12-1 legit boxer. We are not the same. You shouldn’t charge more than $10,” he shot back. Given concerns over PPV buys for Jake’s last fight, it will be interesting to see how it ends up performing and how it compares to KSI’s bout once the numbers are tallied.

Fans blast Kim Kardashian for outfit at Paris Hilton’s Christmas party – Dexerto
Fans blast Kim Kardashian for outfit at Paris Hilton’s Christmas party INSTAGRAM: parishiltonKim Kardashian has been slammed online over a ‘ridiculous’ outfit she wore to Paris Hilton’s Christmas party. Fans were not happy with Kim’s look at the Hilton family’s star-studded holiday event, which featured a series glamorous and festive outfits. In photos posted to Instagram, Paris sported a short lacy red dress, while singer Paula Abdul opted for a see-through emerald green gown with glitzy sequin detail. Model Heidi Klum also got into the festive spirit, as she donned a white dress with a cut-out neckline that featured a gold chain wrapped around her neck. Kim, however, maybe missed the memo, as she showed up wearing a cropped concert T-shirt and black leather pants. She completed the look with a necklace and a diamante choker. Unsurprisingly, her casual outfit made her stand out among the glammed up crowd, and fans rushed to the Instagram comment section to roast her attire. Kim Kardashian roasted for Christmas party outfit While many were loving the party pics, others called out Kim for missing the dress code. “Everyone dressed all nice and Kim looks like a 15-year-old teen that was forced to her parents’ party,” one fan joked. “Did Kim not understand the holiday party attire assignment?” another one added. “Kim’s outfit is for a rock concert, not a Christmas party,” a third commented. “Next time please send an invitation with a dress code for the party to the Kardashians,” someone else suggested. Others called the outfit “ridiculous,” “horrible,” and thought the reality star looked “out of place.” Some fans, however, didn’t mind the casual look, with one writing, “I love Kim in that 90’s shirt.” Another agreed, adding, “Kim looks gorgeous in this.” Fortunately for Kim, her close friend Paris was unbothered by what she wore, as she shared several photos of them together via Instagram Stories. “#Blondies,” she captioned one snap by a Christmas tree, tagging Kim. In a second picture, Paris wrote, “#BlondesHaveMoreFun.” Thus far, the SKIMS founder has not responded to the online backlash.

Fans beg Dream to return to Twitch after Minecraft star hosts secret Discord streams – Dexerto
Fans beg Dream to return to Twitch after Minecraft star hosts secret Discord streams Instagram: @dreamwastakenDream has been doing secret streams to less than a hundred people at a time on Discord, but now his fans have cottoned on, and they’re begging him to return to Twitch. Dream’s popularity has been on the rise for a while now. Most of his Minecraft content is scattered across various YouTube videos, each with tens of millions of views. However, he does stream from time to time, too. In the past two months, he’s streamed four times on Twitch. It’s about as active as he’s ever been on the platform. Still, thousands of people tuned in each time, and the VODs have racked up millions of views too. It pales in comparison to his YouTube channel, but they’re still decent numbers. But that’s not all. It turns out he’s been doing secret streams to small audiences in private on Discord too. However, some fans feel left out, and they’re begging him to return to Twitch. “Hey Dream, since you’ve been streaming in Discord lately, I think it’d be a great idea for you to make an alt Twitch account and stream there,” wrote one fan. “As you can see below, only 99 people can join the discord [voice chat] and watch the stream. So, it’s very hard to be able to watch.” “Also, on George’s alt stream, you did talk about all the benefits of streaming on an alt and how you can just generally relax. So, why not make your own? PLEASE, I’m begging. Please, I know you said maybe to Dizzy, but we’re begging.” @dreamwastaken pls ik u said maybe to dizzy but we’re begging you — anna ♡ (@PANDACANPVP) March 1, 2021 The post is gaining traction on social media, probably because it’s a sentiment that others share. Dream hasn’t responded, but it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the Minecraft streams again. The real question is when that will be, what platform it will be on, and whether he’ll do it more often moving forward.

Fans are surprised after Love Is Blind’s Jackie leaves Marshall for Josh – Dexerto
Fans are surprised after Love Is Blind’s Jackie leaves Marshall for Josh YouTube: Netflix, Love Is Blind,The relationship between Love Is Blind’s Jackie and Marshall just went south and fans are starting to react to their breakup drama. Marshall and Jackie were one of the last remaining engaged couples on Season 4 of Love Is Blind. They moved in together and were planning to marry. The main obstacle in their relationship was Josh Demas. After Jackie chose Marshall, Josh later made an appearance at Chelsea’s birthday party and confessed that he still has love for her. He even told Marshall at the event that he wanted to steal his girl. This caused a major ripple and their relationship. And now, their love triangle just came in between them in the most dramatic way possible. Warning: Contains spoilers for episodes 9-10 of Love Is Blind Season 4. Love Is Blind’s Jackie leaves Marshall for Josh in stunning twist In episode 9, Jackie unexpectedly skips out on trying on her wedding dress in order to meet with fellow contestant Josh Demas. Josh was the only other person Jackie was interested in aside from Marshall. While Marshall was trying on his tux, Jackie and Josh even shared a kiss together without his knowledge, leaving the episode on a cliffhanger. In the next episode, Jackie eventually revealed to Marshall that she did not want to pursue their relationship and that she has feelings for Josh. After rejecting Marshall’s plea for their engagement ring back, their relationship was officially over. Marshall and Jackie were then seen clearing out all of the stuff from their apartment in silence. Marshall said that he wishes Jackie and Josh the best, and, judging by their recent public outing together it seems they are still together. How did Love Is Blind fans react to Jackie and Marshall’s breakup? Most fans are completely surprised by the news and are rallying behind Marshall. Viewers are very upset with the way Jackie ended their relationship, especially when she told Marshall that she wasn’t ready for marriage. Jackie is straight trash. How are you not ready for marriage and you’re on a reality show geared towards marriage?! Her and Josh deserve each other and Marshall deserves better. — ✨ Deena Jones’ Audacity 💋 (@Dangerous_mind) April 7, 2023 One fan did point out the fact that at least Jackie wasn’t stringing Marshall along any further. I may not like the way Jackie did it but at least she’s no longer wasting Marshall’s time nor is she forcing a relationship. She tried something new, realized it wasn’t for her, and is now leaving. I can respect that. I need her to teach Kwame. #LoveIsBlind #LoveisBlind4 — Lyette Erin (@literary_lyette) April 7, 2023 Josh, Jackie, and Marshall will have to be in the same room with each other at the reunion and will have to address the elephant in the room. This alone is going to make for one of the messiest reunions in the history of Love Is Blind. To stay updated on all things Love Is Blind, make sure to check our page here.

Fans are trying to make MrBeast the most-followed creator on TikTok – Dexerto
Fans are trying to make MrBeast the most-followed creator on TikTok Instagram: mrbeast / TikTokFans of MrBeast are trying to get YouTube’s most-subscribed content creator to the number one spot on TikTok after Khaby Lame took the throne last year. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the most famous content creators on the internet. Best known for his over-the-top challenges, generous cash giveaways, and extremely charitable endeavors, MrBeast has become the blueprint for other influencers to follow over the past few years. In 2022, Donaldson beat Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg’s record to become YouTube’s most-subscribed independent creator. Now, he rules the roost with over 153 million subscribers and counting. Despite his status as the king of YouTube, some fans feel this title just isn’t enough. Now, a fair few members of MrBeast’s audience are vying for the influencer to take the crown on other social platforms, too. Will MrBeast become TikTok’s most-followed creator? Popular TikToker NoahGlennCarter has kickstarted a challenge to get MrBeast to the top of TikTok, as told in a May 12 video. “If we help him get to number one, he will be breaking a record that’s never been broken before, as he will become the first person ever to be the most-followed on two of the world’s biggest social media platforms at the same time,” he claimed. Right now, MrBeast is TikTok’s fifth most-followed creator, boasting over 82 million followers on the site. He falls right behind fellow stars Addison Rae and Bella Poarch, with Charli D’Amelio and Khaby Lame taking second and first place, respectively. Khaby Lame famously dethroned longtime TikTok Queen Charli D’Amelio in 2022, who’d sat at the number one spot for over two years after overtaking Loren Gray in 2020. At the time of writing, MrBeast would need to gain an additional 75 million followers and change in order to overtake Khaby Lame — but considering all the wild things he’s been able to do in his career thus far, this doesn’t seem like something outside his reach. It’s also worth noting that Khaby Lame became TikTok’s most-followed creator after a massive fan effort brought him to the top of the platform, so it’s possible we could see this happen once again. This latest fan effort follows controversy surrounding MrBeast after the creator came under fire for purchasing homes for his staff.

Fans are obsessed with Bella Poarch’s new song ‘Crush’ – Dexerto
Fans are obsessed with Bella Poarch’s new song ‘Crush’ YouTube: Bella PoarchTikTok star Bella Poarch just released her latest song, ‘Crush,’ and it’s safe to say that fans are totally obsessed with it. Here’s what people are saying about the upbeat, catchy track online. Bella Poarch first gained fame thanks to her viral TikTok video lip syncing to ‘M to the B,’ which still reigns as the platform’s most-liked upload to date with over 60 million likes. Since then, she’s broken into the music industry in a huge way, releasing her first single ‘Build a B*tch’ back in 2021. The song broke into the Billboard Hot 100 shortly thereafter and surpassed over 50 million streams on Spotify less than a month after its release. She’s had a few other singles in the time since then, including songs like ‘Dolls’ and ‘Inferno,’ but it’s been quite some time since she’s released a new song — until now. Fans are loving Bella Poarch’s new song ‘Crush’ In fact, it’s been a year since Poarch has released new music, but on September 14, that all changed. The Filipina star graced fans’ ears with a brand-new single, ‘Crush,’ alongside artist Lauv… and it’s safe to say that fans absolutely love it. The upbeat track discusses Bella’s somewhat paradoxical feelings for her hypothetical “crush,” saying, “I don’t wanna say too much / I don’t wanna f*ck this up / Why would we fall in love when it feels so good to touch.” Fans are obsessed with the song’s music video and catchy tune, raving about the track all over social media. “Bella looks sensational! Ugh the voice, the talent, the profile, the international implications. We need more Bella Poarch, don’t be greedy with us queen!” one fan wrote on YouTube. “This should be released at the beginning of summer,” another said. “The more I listen to this song, the more I fall in love with it!” yet another raved. This marks a major moment for Bella after the singer went through a divorce last year, notably taking a break from social media after receiving backlash for keeping her marriage private from fans. Now, she’s making a big comeback — and fans can’t wait to see what she’s got in store next.

Since it first aired back in March, Season 4 of Love Is Blind has been a fan favorite. From love triangles to dramatic twists, this season has it all. Warning: Contains spoilers for episodes 1-10 of Love Is Blind Season 4. After Marshall and Jackie’s unexpected breakup in episode 10, there are now only 4 couples that are making it into the finale episode. What do fans think about Love Is Blind’s Micah and Paul? Micah has been noted as one of the ‘mean girls’ of the season, but she has seemed to lay those claims down to rest thanks to her loving relationship with Paul. In the new episodes, fans were quick to point out that her best friend, Shelby, might be taking her place as a ‘mean girl,’ especially considering her recent interaction with Micah’s fiancé. Shelby told Micah that she disapproved of Paul and that she deserves someone better. Micah tried to soften the conversation and said that Shelby is her harshest critic when it comes to who she dates. After a small argument, Paul walked away from the group. Fans were quick to point out Shelby’s actions and even compared her to Irina. Catching up on Love is Blind and I understand Micah being friends with Irina now. She was her temporary Shelby — Heather Buchanan (@heatherfuture) April 5, 2023 Girl needs to escape mean girls who want the worst for her. She’s actually cool when she’s not around them pic.twitter.com/Ya7jbzV6N0 Do fans like Zack and Bliss from Love Is Blind? Zack and Bliss were definitely an unexpected couple to see heading to the finale. The main reason is because Bliss wasn’t his first pick. He chose Irina over her and their relationship immediately went south after their uncomfortable honeymoon together. But, when Zack returned and wanted to be with Bliss, she gave him a second chance and took him back. While fans do love the two of them together, they are still skeptical about Bliss being Zack’s second choice. Zack and Bliss have so much chemistry and it annoys me so much because she deserves so much better than being the 2nd choice #LoveisBlind4 — HANGELA BASSETT did the thing…. (@CrysSprinkle) March 31, 2023 What do fans think about Brett and Tiffany relationship? Brett and Tiffany have been a drama-free couple since day one. Fans think that their relationship seems genuine and can last. One of the main moments that indicated that they were in it for the long run was when Tiffany was getting stressed about their marriage plans. And, to make her feel better, Brett took her on a romantic trip. Viewers were also happy with the fact that Brett was there for Marshall during his messy breakup with Jackie. Brett is such a breath of fresh air. He’s intentional with Tiffany and the way he looks out for Marshall 🥹 #LoveIsBlind #LoveIsBlindS4 pic.twitter.com/3PY643I62K — Rebekkah (@rebekkahxtina) April 7, 2023 Do fans like Love Is Blind’s Kwame and Chelsea? Kwame and Chelsea haven’t had the most easy-going relationship. They were even in a brief love triangle with Kwame’s ex Micah. After an incident where the exes seemed to be flirting with each other, the couple has since smoothed it over. Now, the main issue with their relationship is with Kwame’s mother. It was revealed that she didn’t give Kwame her blessing to compete in Love Is Blind in the first place. He joined the cast not long after appearing in Married at First Sight. Chelsea still has not met his mother, and they have not received her blessing. Without it, their relationship is up in the air. Fans are seeing this as a red flag from Kwame. Kwame telling Chelsea that she cannot take his last name without his moms input is strange. I couldn’t marry a man who can’t do anything without his moms permission. Kwame is a walking Red flag. — Alexandria (@cloudsandthings) April 7, 2023 Chelsea, let him go. You deserve the world and he isn’t it. #LoveIsBlind We will find out soon whether or not these couples make the jump and become husband and wife in the finale episode.

Fans are giddy as Halsey asks Corpse Husband to “teach” her Among Us – Dexerto
Fans are giddy as Halsey asks Corpse Husband to “teach” her Among Us Instagram, @iamhalsey / Corpse HusbandHalsey and Corpse Husband, both known for their voices, despite very different genres, have thrown social media into a frenzy by publicly planning a game of Among Us together. What happens when worlds collide? Halsey, a celebrity musician, and Corpse Husband, a celebrity content creator (and musician, too), have proven that spontaneous collaboration is the stuff of fandom dreams. Neither Halsey nor Corpse Husband are restricted to the recording studio, although they’ve both produced successful hits. While each has a massive following on social media, the former is better known for her songwriting accolades while the latter, for a deep voice that resonates across YouTube and Twitch content. When Halsey tweeted out a casual, undirected Sunday “Hello,” she probably didn’t expect Corpse to respond. When he did respond with a cryptic “exactly,” few could have expected that the two would start scheduling a game of Among Us. But that’s exactly what happened and fans are ecstatic. Halsey has had No. 1 and No. 2 albums on the since 2015, making her a famous face and a famous voice, even before she erupted as a cultural figure thanks to outspoken activism and fan engagement. Corpse Husband’s “E-Girls Are Ruining My Life!” track went big on TikTok, but he’s mostly famous for being a faceless, baritone voice with beloved Twitch and YouTube content. The majority of that Twitch content has been in Among Us, which Halsey succinctly refers to as “space Game.” With Corpse already having played with famous American figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and James Charles, he is an excellent candidate to teach Halsey next. As fans are already giddy at the prospect of Corpse and Halsey just communicating with one another on Twitter, it’s easy to imagine how hyped people would be if the two actually end up playing on Twitch together. https://twitter.com/livisoverparty/status/1340748884772073483 In just a few hours, fan reactions have already spanned everything from pure joy about the Twitter interactions to excitement over a possible Twitch stream and even some hopes for a musical collaboration. Read more: Corpse Husband opens up about pressure – Thus far, nothing has been scheduled and no one knows if Halsey’s Among Us tutorial will be conducted in the public eye. All we know is that two of the internet’s favorite personalities are in communication with each other.

Fans are loving Addison Rae & Olivia Rodrigo being besties at Tate McRae’s concert – Dexerto
Fans are loving Addison Rae & Olivia Rodrigo being besties at Tate McRae’s concert INSTAGRAM: addisonraeeFans are obsessed with Addison Rae and Olivia Rodrigo’s friendship, as the two were spotted at a Tate McRae concert. On July 11, 2024, Tate McRae took the stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, which accommodates up to 5,900 attendees, as part of her Think Later World Tour. Among the thousands of concertgoers were Addison Rae and Olivia Rodrigo, who were spotted enjoying the show in the crowd, alongside ‘Heartstopper’ star Joe Locke. In a short clip posted on Twitter/X, the Gen-Z superstars were seen laughing together and exchanging words while watching Tate perform. The post has since gone viral with thousands of likes and views, as fans were loving their friendship. “Omg two icons supporting another icon! Three queens of pop!” one person commented. “Love seeing the pop girls supporting each other,” another said. “Need this collab so bad,” a third added. Others were surprised to see the TikToker and popstar hanging out. “This is so random help,” one person commented. “What are they doing together??” another questioned. Addison and Olivia have been close friends since 2021, and have hung out on multiple occasions. The two stars previously attended a pottery class together with Maddie Zeigler and Devon Carlson, which Addison shared in her Instagram stories. They even made a hilarious video to share more photos together, playfully mocking paparazzi who approach them for photos on the street. In 2022, the TikToker also posted a picture of herself alongside Olivia, which quickly went viral with over 2.7 million likes and numerous comments from fans expressing their excitement and disbelief that they’re besties.

Fans are convinced Nessa Barrett and Jaden Hossler have broken up – Dexerto
Fans are convinced Nessa Barrett and Jaden Hossler have broken up Instagram: jadenhosslerTikTok sweethearts Nessa Barrett and Jaden Hossler are stirring up drama, as fans are thoroughly convinced the couple has silently parted ways. Nessa Barrett and Jaden Hossler are both TikTok stars and music artists who shook up the internet last year when their romance made headlines. After collaborating on a song together, the two seemed to strike up a relationship — something that burned Nessa’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Josh Richards, who was also besties with Hossler at the time. The ensuing drama resulted in an avalanche of backlash toward both Barrett and Hossler, who have since gone on to cultivate a seemingly successful love life… until now. On April 27, 2022 — nearly a year after their relationship went public — TikToker Hannah Kosh pointed out a few key occurrences on the couple’s social media activity that’s leaving fans convinced they’ve broken things off for good. For starters, both influencers unfollowed each other on Instagram. On top of that, some viewers were convinced they’d blocked each other on the app, as all tags for each other had suddenly disappeared from their shared photos. That’s not all; Barrett even purportedly switched up the caption for her post celebrating Hossler’s birthday, changing it from “happy birthday lover boy” to “happy birthday” with a white heart emoji. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Fans also noticed that Hossler commented on another girl’s Instagram pic saying, “The picture after my concert was my favorite,” while Nessa posted a photo to her Stories with the caption: “Crying behind my phone, don’t be fooled.” Jaden Hossler responds to Nessa Barrett breakup rumors The speculation is only amping up even more, as Hossler has since responded to the drama with a statement that’s basically a final nail in the coffin. In a pointed Instagram Stories post, Hossler wrote that he “didn’t unfollow anyone” and said he “definitely [doesn’t] handle things online.” “Life isn’t what it seems,” he continued. “Sad to see things roll out like they are, but I don’t want to do this.” View this post on Instagram Barrett purportedly liked a tea page post sharing Hossler’s statement, and it looks like they are following each other on Insta again. Nessa Barrett responds to breakup “PR stunt” rumors Barrett later posted a statement to her Instagram stories, hitting back at rumors of using this purported breakup from Hossler as a “PR stunt” for her upcoming album. “I genuinely don’t care enough to do something like that,” she wrote. “I promise you, literally one person can listen to my album and I’d be happy. It’s not coming out for months, either.” For now, it’s unclear what happened between these two stars, leaving fans confused and waiting for more answers.

Fans are debating how Taylor Swift swam under the stage during her concert – Dexerto
Fans are debating how Taylor Swift swam under the stage during her concert TikTok: @noahglenncarterTaylor Swift started off the Eras Tour with a bang, or a dive to be more precise, that left the fans arguing on the internet as to how the star pulled the trick off. Taylor Swift began the concert by taking a dive headfirst straight into the stage as if it was a swimming pool, disappearing underneath and swimming to the other side of the hall. Fans and random viewers alike are now debating how the stunt actually works. Noah Glenn Carter made a TikTok that provided an answer, but his explanation was quickly brought into question. “Today I learned how Taylor Swift swims across her stage. So Taylor Swift is currently on tour and she has this really cool effect where she swims across the stage. After seeing this I was very curious as to how she managed to pull this effect off,” said Noah in his TikTok. He then proceeded to explain that a “rocket sled” pulls her while showing a video of Taylor with the contraption. The comment section exploded with users explaining that the video is from her tour that took place years ago and that she is currently employing some other trick to pull off the entrance. Fans argue over how Taylor Swift pulled off concert entrance And so, theory crafting and searching for the answers began. Some of the users under Noah’s TikTok argue that the “rocket sled” shown in Noah’s video is too dangerous for the current stunt. “That clip with the rocket sled is from the Reputation tour, not this tour. She might still use that but no way she’s landed on that padding,” said one user, referring to the fact that Taylor dove face first under the stage and the old sled would not fully protect her from such a dive. Other fans scoff at the idea that she developed some completely new tech or trick just for this tour. “She’s not gonna use brand new technology every single tour. It’s the same thing with obviously more padding,” commented another user. It seems like fans of Taylor Swift and stage “magic” tricks will have to wait for some kind of documentary or behind-the-scenes of her Eras Tour.

Fans are convinced Josh Richards and Nessa Barrett are back together – Dexerto
Fans are convinced Josh Richards and Nessa Barrett are back together Instagram: joshrichards, nessabarrettEagle-eyed fans are thoroughly convinced that TikTok stars Josh Richards and Nessa Barrett are dating again after the two were spotted together during a trip to Canada. Josh Richards and Nessa Barrett are two internet stars whose relationship has taken TikTok by storm on a number of occasions. The former couple notably split up in early 2021 after it was surmised that Nessa had purportedly cheated on Josh with Jaden Hossler, a TikToker-turned-music artist with whom Nessa wrote a song, ‘La Di Die.’ Jaden and Nessa dated for some time afterwards, but broke up in May 2022, with both parties denying that their breakup had anything to do with Nessa’s upcoming album. Since then, the net has been on the lookout for any news regarding Nessa and Jaden’s relationship status… and they’re convinced Nessa is dating Josh again. In August 2022, Nessa and Josh were spotted hanging out and taking pics with fans during a trip to Canada, leaving many convinced that they are getting back together on the low. This wouldn’t be the first time the ex-couple has been seen together, either. Shortly after Nessa’s breakup with Jaden, they were spotted taking a walk together by a fan who posted a pic from the outing to social media. That’s not all, the duo were also seen at a party together just a few days later, with an insider claiming they’d witnessed the TikTokers “making out and dancing and grinding” — and even said they had left the party together. For now, it’s still unclear whether this couple is officially back together or not, and Josh has been decidedly quiet about any rumors regarding himself and Nessa. After the two were caught on their walk, Josh notably claimed that he “was on a dog walk and she wanted to talk. And so we went on the dog walk and talked. Kinda to get some closure and everything.” Whatever the case may be, it’s clear that fans are invested in their relationship, whether it’s merely platonic or otherwise.

Fans are convinced Kendall Jenner shaded Addison Rae’s Met Gala dress – Dexerto
Fans are convinced Kendall Jenner shaded Addison Rae’s Met Gala dress YouTube: Keeping Up With The Kardashians / Instagram: addisonraeeTikTok star Addison Rae’s unconventional poses at the 2022 Met Gala turned some heads — but fans are convinced one major celeb outright shaded Rae’s red carpet moment. Addison Rae is one of TikTok’s biggest content creators. Boasting over 87 million followers, Rae is also a budding movie star, a rising music artist, and even has her own flavor of energy drink. She’s a jack of all trades… one of which is an upcoming fashionista. She’s partnered with Miu Miu in the past for Fashion Week and is always wearing looks that raise eyebrows on social media. Her latest fashion moment occurred at the 2022 Met Gala — her second Met Gala appearance, thus far. The theme of the evening was Gilded Glamour, hearkening back to The Gilded Age around the turn of the century and the highest level of dress code one can possibly imagine. Unfortunately, the internet has decided that Addison didn’t exactly match the Gala’s theme with her hip-hugging silver gown — but that’s not what everyone’s talking about. Instead, Rae’s unconventional poses on the red carpet garnered some attention as the star lifted her arms as if she were a JoJos character (which, ironically, were inspired by high fashion photoshoots). View this post on Instagram Fans convinced Kendall Jenner shaded Addison Rae in viral TikTok It didn’t seem to hit the mark for many critics… and, potentially, for model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner. A video is going viral on TikTok, showing Jenner lounging on a couch alongside Hailey Bieber, where she appears to mock Rae’s outlandish Met Gala poses. While it’s unclear if that’s exactly what’s happening, fans certainly seem to think so… and this isn’t the first time they’ve suspected Kendall of being shady toward Addison. Click here if TikTok fails to load. In a 2021 episode of KUWTK, the Kardashian family invited Rae to dinner without Kourtney, who had struck up an unlikely friendship with the TikToker that left the internet a little tense. During the conversation, fans couldn’t help but notice that Kendal’s body language seemed a little… off. At one particular moment, she reaches for Scott Disick’s shirt sleeve, holding back a smile all the while. Of course, no one can say for certain if Kendall really feels this way or not… but it’s definitely throwing fans for a loop.

Fans alarmed after Addison Rae posts and deletes cryptic Tweets – Dexerto
Fans alarmed after Addison Rae posts and deletes cryptic Tweets TikTok: Addison RaeFans of Addison Rae, TikTok superstar, have been wracking their brains trying to work out what’s going on with the influencer after she posted and then quickly deleted a Tweet saying that she was “disappointed”, before posting another ambiguous Tweet on 28 February. The first Tweet was posted on 27 February, wherein Rae said that she was “disappointed but not surprised.” This Tweet was quickly deleted, but adding further fuel to the suspicion that something was wrong, Addison then posted a similarly-ambiguous Tweet on 28 February saying “figures”. With Addison being known for her upbeat and peppy personality, these Tweets alarmed and concerned her fanbase, as they wondered what could have led to the TikTok personality feeling downtrodden. What is going on with Addison Rae? Some fans are suspecting that the subtweets are directed at the current situation surrounding James Charles. A 16-year-old fan accused Charles of “grooming” him on 26 February, and on 27 February, two more fans, including a 17-year-old, also came forward to publicly accuse James of inappropriate behavior. Given that Charles and Rae are close friends, with the two of them often appearing in each other’s social media and videos, some fans are speculating that based on the timing, the Tweets could be directed at him. “It’s clearly about James,” one fan on Instagram speculated, while another said: “My first thought was James.” However, other fans are doubtful, with one Instagram user pointing out that “she [Addison] never posts about other people’s drama.” Another Instagram user said that they “hope it isn’t about James” because Rae never publicly condemned the Lopez brothers over the accusations they faced. Read More: Bryce Hall loses it with paparazzi in public – Naturally, with Addison’s relationship with Bryce Hall being in the public eye, some people are suspecting that there’s trouble in paradise. The couple have been on again and off again multiple times since rumors first started swirling about their romance in autumn 2019, which has led to fans thinking the two may be “off” once again. In response to her Tweet on 28 February, where she says “figures,” one concerned fan told Addison that they “don’t want to see [her] heartbroken for the third time.” Guessing that Rae and Hall may have had a fight, another fan said to Rae that “all couples have fights, what is important is the love that exists between you [and Bryce].” With some fans going as far as suggesting that Hall may have cheated on Rae, others were quick to jump to his defense, with one Instagram user asking: “How isn’t Bryce loyal? He’s proven he’s loyal plenty of times.” When it comes to Addison and Bryce at least, fans can breathe a sigh of relief that all is well between the pair, as one fan posted a video of a recent live that Hall did where he confirmed that he would be visiting Rae soon. He showed no indication that things were anything other than fine between the pair. https://twitter.com/gininal11/status/1366021062450835461 Given the cryptic nature of these Tweets, it is impossible to know for sure what is going on with Addison. Several fans pointed out that people shouldn’t “assume anything” about the TikTok star’s private life. Referring to the Tweet Rae made on 27 February, one Instagram user pointed out that “she [Addison] deleted it for a reason.”

Fans are convinced Alissa Violet and FaZe Banks are back together after these photos Instagram: alissavioletFans are convinced that influencer-model Alissa Violet is back together with FaZe co-founder Ricky Banks after uploading some steamy pics to Instagram. Alissa Violet first got together with FaZe Banks way back in 2017, following her dramatic split from YouTube boxer Jake Paul. Banks and Violet were together for nearly two years… but things ended on a sour note in 2019. A fight ensued between the couple after Banks made some comments about hooking up with YouTuber Tana Mongeau in a podcast. Although both parties claimed the spat wasn’t about Tana, Violet later accused Banks of cheating on her. The couple officially broke the news of their split in July 2019. Banks published a lengthy statement via Twitter explaining the situation, saying that “neither of us has been perfect” and claiming that “Alissa and I were having issues and I did something really stupid and hurtful.” Since then, it’s seemed like both Banks and Violet have been living their best single lives… but recent photos on Instagram have fans thinking their romance may have sparked again. On June 5, 2022, Alissa Violet posted some steamy photos of herself in the back of a car. Some of the pics show her being groped by an unknown person with tattoos all over their hands. View this post on Instagram This mysterious person might just be FaZe Banks. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that tattoos on the man’s hands match those of FaZe Banks, exactly — the words say “east” and “west” on the fingers, along with a bat and a moth on the back of each hand. View this post on Instagram That’s not all; Banks even tagged Violet in his Instagram stories, sharing one of the photos Violet had uploaded with the caption “See you in hell, alissaviolet.” For now, it’s unclear if these two stars are rekindling their romance or not… but either way, fans’ interest has officially been piqued.

Fans accuse Logan Paul of staging viral slap video – Dexerto
Fans accuse Logan Paul of staging viral slap video Logan Paul, Twitter / YouTubeControversial YouTuber Logan Paul seemed set to participate in the ‘Battle on the Volga,’ a slapping competition featuring some of Russia’s greatest slap champions – but Paul suddenly pulled out of the challenge, following the release of a now-viral video. Paul uploaded a video to Twitter that has since taken the internet by storm, where Paul faced off against an opponent in a practice match for his upcoming slap battle. The YouTuber cranked his arm back and delivered a solid blow to his opponent’s face, causing the man to crumple to the ground. The release of this video came a day after Paul published an open letter to Russian media outlet Generation Iron, explaining that he would no longer participate in the slap battle due to “an unforeseen and unfortunate event” that took place during a practice session. While Paul later admitted that it was the slap in the video that prompted him to pull out of the competition, some critics aren’t convinced that Paul’s video is legit, accusing him of staging the slap for his upcoming documentary. After an unfortunate incident at practice today, I’ve decided not to compete in the Russian Slap Competition. pic.twitter.com/ArC03yvIR2 — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) May 22, 2019 “This is so fake,” one critic wrote. “Firstly, if he was slapped unconscious, he would fall backwards. Secondly, why would Logan slap him and turn to the camera and just stand there flexing? So fake.” “Okay, I feel this is fake, because if you watched actual slap competitions, the people who are slapped so hard… never fall like that,” another said of the matter. This is so fake. Firstly, if he was slapped unconscious he would fall backwards. Secondly, why would Logan slap him and turn to the camera and just stand there flexing. So fake :person_facepalming::skin-tone-5:♂️ — Shaun Zizinga (@Shaun1Zizinga) May 24, 2019 Okay I feel this is fake because if you watched actual slap competitions, the people who are slapped so hard the fall never fall like that — teethpaste aka #1 Narancia fan (@_Sorrien_) May 24, 2019 Paul himself claimed that he’d slapped the man so hard, he’d forgotten his own name – as well as even being slapped in the first place, a major concern for the YouTuber, considering the man was a professional slapper. “I have never seen a human crumple like that,” Paul recalled. “It made me feel uncomfortable. I realized I don’t like hitting defenseless humans… what if that happens to me? What if I become the vegetable?” [Timestamp: 4:10 for mobile viewers] The YouTuber went on to compare the viral slap to his infamous debacle in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest’ from early 2018, where he filmed the body of a suicide victim for a controversial vlog. While he is no longer taking part in the Battle on the Volga, Paul claims that he does have a “full piece of content” in store for fans, which he hopes to release in the near future.

Fans accuse Tana Mongeau & Jake Paul of faking Alissa Violet drama – Dexerto
Fans accuse Tana Mongeau & Jake Paul of faking Alissa Violet drama YouTube stars Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau may be married, but their union is raising quite a few eyebrows in wake of the Team 10 founder’s post featuring his ex-girlfriend, Alissa Violet. Following Violet’s string of Tweets exposing ex-boyfriend FaZe Banks for allegedly cheating on her multiple times, Jake Paul got in on the drama by posting an old photo of himself and Violet as a promo for his upcoming song, “These Days.” Needless to say, this prompted a slew of speculation around Paul and Tana’s marriage, which is reportedly an open one – but Mongeau’s reaction to the post fueled the flames even further. what I never got to say… “These Days” December 13th🤐🎶 pic.twitter.com/PBh0Q2SJqH — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 3, 2019 After giving a short, “Eesh,” on Twitter, the YouTuber-turned-MTV starlet took to Instagram to reveal that she plans to take a hiatus from social media, which many fans linked to her hubby’s announcement Tweet. However, not everyone is convinced that this possible drama is even real, with fans across the net accusing the couple of leading them on in a convoluted storyline for views and attention and even predicting the couple’s eventual split. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5oWFagBc67/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “If you literally have any respect for yourself, you should publicly leave him so those young kids you’re influencing understand that it’s not okay to put up with shit like this,” one fan wrote of their marriage. “Even if the marriage/relationship is fake.” If you literally have any respect for yourself You should publicly leave him so those young kids you’re influencing understand that it’s not okay to put up with shit like this. Even if the marriage/relationship is fake — Jizzy McCreepy 🐀 (@gremlin2176) December 3, 2019 “This is just for clout,” another wrote. “I’m pretty sure you set the game plan for Jake’s drama.” “Well… at least we know that the divorce will happen soon,” yet another commenter said. While there’s no telling what Tana’s, “Eesh,” may have actually been in response to, this is far from the first time fans are accusing her and Paul of faking their marriage – but the two have historically been staunch advocates of their union, despite declining to wed “on paper.” For now, fans will have to wait for Mongeau’s social media hiatus to end – and for Jake Paul’s new song to arrive, as well as all the drama that will likely come with it.

Fan sends Twitch streamer TheDanDangler $10,000 cash for “butt surgery” – Dexerto
Fan sends Twitch streamer TheDanDangler $10,000 cash for “butt surgery” Twitter/thedandanglerAn anonymous fan has paid for popular Twitch streamer TheDanDangler’s expensive Brazilian butt lift surgery by sending her a box filled with $10,000 cash. TheDanDangler is one of Twitch’s most controversial streamers having received a handful of bans from the platform, but her content has resulted in some adoring fans with money to spend. On January 10, the OnlyFans star revealed that an anonymous fan who had been watching her “since the CoD days” send her a whopping cash gift filled with hundred dollar bills. Despite the fan not sharing their name, TheDanDangler is determined to find out their identity and is urging them to come forward. TheDanDangler gets $10,000 cash gift from a fan In a post on Twitter, the streamer shared some photos of the expensive gift and a special handwritten letter that came with it. The fan, who revealed they follow all of her social media accounts, revealed they wanted to do something nice for her after discovering she had a surgery coming up. “In this package you will find some things I hope make you feel better,” they wrote. “I also would like to pay for the cost of your procedure, so on top of the goodies, you will also find $10K cash.” For her part, TheDanDangler is eager to find out who sent the package and is trying to do everything she can to make them come forward. “Bro someone paid for my butt surgery. WTF I will find you!” she exclaimed. “Whoever did this please send me a message. I would like to thank you. I know you want to be anonymous, but this is too much to not say thank you personally.” Whoever did this please send me a message i would like to thank you. I know you want to be anonymous but this is too much to not say thank you personally — TheDanDangler (@thedandangler) January 10, 2023 This isn’t the first streamer to get a huge surprise in the mail. Last year, Amouranth was sent $70K cash, bodyguard service, and a new iPhone as part of a “self-defense” care package. So far, no one has stepped up and admitted to sending the money, so the identity of the mystery fan remains a mystery. That said, if anyone would like to send this humble reporter $10,000, my email address is in my bio.

‘Fancy Like’ TikTok dance trend causes Applebee’s to bring back Oreo shake – Dexerto
‘Fancy Like’ TikTok dance trend causes Applebee’s to bring back Oreo shake Instagram: Walker HayesA famous Oreo Shake is now back at Applebee’s after a song that namedropped the product went massively viral on TikTok. Walker Hayes, who wrote the song ‘Fancy Like’, confirmed it was back on the menu. The song ‘Fancy Like’ became a trend after Hayes posted a dance TikTok to the trend that went viral in June 2020. The video that features Hayes and his daughter doing some groovy moves has over 28 million views. Since then, the song’s only gotten bigger with Hayes posting more TikToks dancing in Walmart and with more members of his family. In just the last few months, it has already been used in over half a million videos with several even making waves over in the UK. In the interview about the TikTok trend, Hayes said that his daughter suggested the song needed a dance and said he had no idea it “was going to pop off like it did.” Hayes’ song ‘Fancy Like’ also had a music video on YouTube that features Hayes dancing and singing along to the song in a field. It’s proved a smash on the platform with over 15 million views. Hayes said he had been trying to blow up his career for 17 to 18 years so the song going viral definitely took him by surprise. He said he thought the “wholesome nature of the dance” and the “reliability of the song” led to it going viral. He then went onto say that the Oreo Shake is “back on the menu” and joked he “can be credit as the guy who brought the Orea Shake out of retirement.” Hayes said that the song has brought him a new level of celebrity though on a much more local level. Keeping it humble, Hayes said that he’d become a bit of a “neighborhood celebrity.” He joked about how people now swing by their house and take pictures of it saying that’s where the TikTok was made.

Fans accuse Bethesda of faking crowd reactions during E3 presentation – Dexerto
Fans accuse Bethesda of faking crowd reactions during E3 presentation Video game giant Bethesda has been met with criticism from fans after they accused the company of faking crowd reactions during their E3 presentation on June 9. While many were happy with the Fallout developer’s presser, some viewers were suspicious of the crowd’s reactions, and took to social media to air their distrust. Reddit user ‘Uesugi’ posted a clip titled ‘Who clapped?’ which shows excessive noises from the crowd during one segment that seemingly doesn’t match up to the actual feedback on the video feed. Many people weren’t convinced “I see a lot of people near the right side of the screen clapping. I still think the whole crowd was fake and planted though, or at least picked out to sit under mics or something. People were still cheering loud as hell after the 3rd mobile game in a row was announced,” one person commented, agreeing that it seemed suspicious. “It seems like the entire two front rows were family members or actual devs and they placed the mics there.” another user replied, “you could see the absence of movement/hype in the crowd vs the first two rows.” Other Reddit threads seem to air the same criticisms, with user ‘BKoopa’ saying, “Paid for audience. They are cheering randomly like it is a game or that they’re getting paid per cheer.” Even Twitter fans thought the whole thing was suspicious, with one unconvinced user tweeting, “I’m convinced this Bethesda crowd is either 80% fake or canned in for the stream. Something just seems really off. I know people LOVE Bethesda but like…c’mon.” “Do you think gamers are fucking idiots? Cut the bullshit. We know that Orion demo was faked, and we know you’ve planted hype guys in the audience. You’re sickening to me. RIP Bethesda,” another disgruntled viewer tweeted. I’m convinced this bethesda crowd is either 80% fake or canned in for the stream. Something just seems really off. I know people LOVE bethesda but like…c’mon. #E3 — Matt (@AwesomeFaceProd) June 10, 2019 Do you think gamers are fucking idiots? Cut the bullshit. We know that Orion demo was faked, and we know you’ve planted hype guys in the audience. You’re sickening to me. RIP bethesda — Enny (@EnnyishQuil) June 10, 2019 Some think the claims are ridiculous Supporters for the company have hit back at the conspiracies though, unconvinced by the accusations. “Eh, these conspiracies sound cool, but maybe consider that the people still paying to go to this conference are die hard fans and/or people who are going to have fun and make the most of it?” Reddit user ‘Bhu124’ said. “If I were going to E3, I’d probably choose to have fun instead of be angry, even if Bethesda deserves a lot of anger. I’d probably sarcastically cheer before I’d boo anyways.” “You also need to take in account that there are not paid people there but sometimes the team who works for the game or Bethesda in the front row. These people when seeing the things they made either cheer or try to get the people hyped up.” another commenter replied. It’s hard to say for sure whether Bethesda faked their crowd reactions, although the idea does seem a little bit ridiculous when you think about it. The most likely cause of the loud crowd feedback is probably because the front few rows were dedicated to excited Bethesda employees.

Fan Made KSI vs Logan Paul Trailer Will Get You Hyped for the Big Fight – Dexerto
Fan Made KSI vs Logan Paul Trailer Will Get You Hyped for the Big Fight There is less than a week to go until YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul will face each other in the ring at the Manchester Arena, in what is set to be the biggest YouTube live event ever. The two YouTube stars, as well as their younger brothers Deji and Jake Paul have over 60 million subscribers combined, and millions are expected to tune in live online on August 25. There has been plenty of build up for the event from the fighters themselves and their teams, including two press conferences, that admittedly didn’t quite go to plan, but still heaped on anticipation for the fight itself. Official trailers were also released, showcasing behind the scenes training and each fighters’ mindset, but this unofficial fan trailer adds something extra to the storyline. YouTuber ‘James Culverhouse’ put this unofficial trailer together, taking it back to KSI’s first big fight against Joe Weller, all the way up to coming face-to-face with Logan, who will undoubtedly be a tougher challenge. Cut up with clips from commentators from around the internet, such as KEEMSTAR and friends of both fighters, it gives an idea of the attention surrounding the event. It focuses completely on the main attraction, KSI vs Logan, but of course Deji and Jake Paul, their younger siblings, are equally high profile names in their own right, and will help boost the audience both in the venue and watching online. Organizers are so confident that the event will be so anticipated that they have made it a pay-per-view event, costing $8 (£6) to watch live on YouTube. The fight will be streamed live on the official KSI vs Logan Paul channel, set for 4pm BST / 11am ET / 8am PT on August 25.

Fans outraged after late YouTuber Etika’s Twitter account hacked – Dexerto
Fans outraged after late YouTuber Etika’s Twitter account hacked Etika, YouTube / ThoroughlyReviewd, FlickrPopular YouTuber and Smash player Daniel Desmond “Etika” Amofah was confirmed deceased by New York law enforcement on June 25 after a five-day disappearance – but one malicious hacker is outraging fans in wake of his passing. Etika’s Twitter account was hacked on August 24, with the hacker writing a series of shocking posts that garnered mass backlash from fans and friends of the deceased. “I’m back alive!” the hacker wrote, linking to a discord channel. “Currently chuckling with the boys.” That’s not all: the hacker continued to post offensive messages to Etika’s account, writing such posts as, “I’m currently drowning,” “Don’t tell Etika I’m on his account,” and, “Shoutout to the people who tried saving me… it meant a lot.” Needless to say, the incident left a bad taste in fans’ mouths, with fellow Smash players, pros, and fans alike decrying the incident across Twitter. The person who hacked Etika’s account is deleting the tweets I think. Here they are just in case they did. pic.twitter.com/oM7NvLMcdq — FusionAnimations (@BFDIA_Master) August 24, 2019 “Actual scumbag,” Smash pro “Anti” commented. “You really must have no soul, whoever’s doing this,” another user wrote. U really must have no soul whoever’s doing this — Carlos Ezarik (JOYCON MAN) (@_mellowjello) August 24, 2019 The offensive Tweets have since been deleted from Etika’s account at the time of writing, with the account’s latest post being from June 18 after a vigilante netizen doxxed the hacker. While this malicious incident sent shockwaves throughout Etika’s community, the hacking follows a heartwarming tribute to the YouTuber during Super Smash Con earlier in the month, which took place during the event’s Smashies Award Show. (Timestamp: 1:00 for mobile viewers) A video tribute to Etika played during the award ceremony, with community members giving testimonies of their experiences with the content creator in a touching montage at one of the biggest Smash events of the season. Etika’s passing in June followed his five-day disappearance, preceded by a disturbing video posted online that many fans believed to be a suicide note. We regret to inform that Desmond Amofah aka Etika has been found deceased. https://t.co/sedwZZxglw — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) June 25, 2019 Law enforcement recovered his body from the East River a half mile away from the Manhattan Bridge, from where it is suspected the YouTuber jumped. The tragic incident incited a wave of conversation concerning mental health in the Smash and YouTube communities, with friends and fans of the deceased gathering for an emotional memorial on the Manhattan Bridge in the days that followed. Wanna Thank Everyone who was here to not only mourn, but celebrate, the Legacy Etika left behind. Words can’t define how fantastic it was to be here, love, happiness and smiles was what #JOYCONBOYZ was and still is! Bless @TheAlicePika and @Ninja__3x for everything.

Fan goes viral after twerking on security guard at SZA concert – Dexerto
Fan goes viral after twerking on security guard at SZA concert TikTok: CherrylicioussA fan is going viral after twerking on a security guard working at a SZA concert. Some viewers say she “did too much,” while others “love her energy.” Concerts can be extremely fun times to hang out with friends and watch your favorite artist perform live. In fact, these kinds of events can create unforgettable moments — just looking back at the slew of viral incidents that happened over the course of Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ Tour is enough to fill an entire book! However, sometimes things can get a little too hectic… and that’s what some viewers think happened after a fan at a SZA concert got her groove on with a security guard working at the venue. SZA fan goes viral after twerking on security guard at concert: “She ate and left no crumbs” In a TikTok video uploaded on October 29, user ‘Cherryliciouss’ captured a fan at a SZA concert getting up from her seat and dropping it low for a security guard (who didn’t seem unhappy by this turn of events, whatsoever). The fan even put her leg on the guy’s shoulder — all while wearing jeans and stiletto heels on the steps of a major convention center. That’s dedication! Eventually, the security guard walked off after whispering something in her ear. Fans were left completely shook by the wild interaction, which is going viral on TikTok, racking up over 4 million views in just four days. “I’m so proud of her in heels and jeans on these steps,” one viewer wrote. “ICON.” “As she should, and IN JEANS,” another said. “She’s so pretty and she left no crumbs!” yet another complimented the gal. However, others thought she was a little too over the top with the whole situation. “Her energy is fine, but her hopping on him like that was wayyy too much,” one viewer remarked. “Nah, this is too much,” another wrote. Of course, the internet was able to find the woman in the video — who, according to a follow-up video from Cherryliciouss, was apparently married. Cherry claimed she was able to speak with the guard later on, who allegedly said that the gal had told him she was a married woman and to “just go with it.” The dancing woman (named Natalie G) took to TikTok to explain her side of the story, bringing in her husband to help her out with everyone’s questions in a ten-minute-long response. In the video, Natalie G claimed she never told the security guard to “just go with it” after informing him she was married. As for her husband, he said the entire situation was “funny as f*ck” and appeared to find it quite amusing. “First of all, you never cease to f*cking amaze me with the sh*t that you do,” he said. “It’s nothing new to me and you know, I didn’t see anything wrong with you having fun dancing.” However, he did say that other behaviors would have “crossed the line,” but ultimately felt that she was just having a good time at the concert. This is just the latest incident from a concert to go viral after a fight broke out at a Drake concert in early October.

Fan joins PewDiePie’s fight vs T-Series with hilarious Walmart stunt – Dexerto
Fan joins PewDiePie’s fight vs T-Series with hilarious Walmart stunt YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg may have once grown his subscriber lead over Bollywood production company T-Series to a decent level, yet, that isn’t stopping his rabid fans from doing their best to help him out even further. After seeing his lead dwindle to less than nine thousand subscribers on February 22, Pewds has since been able to recapture a healthy lead of over 115,000 after Elon Musk and Justin Roiland made an appearance on his Meme Review show. Thanks to that growth, the Swede recently hit another major milestone on YouTube, becoming the first channel to hit 87 million subscribers. Yet, that hasn’t stopped the fight against T-Series as his fans continue to do their best to grow his lead. One fan, known only by their Twitter name of GogglesFox, made it their mission to market Pewds to a whole new audience – their local Walmart store. GogglesFox tweeted the video at PewDiePie in which he hilariously headed to the Walmart technology aisle, found a number of laptops and began leaving hints to shoppers that they should subscribe to Swede – leaving his YouTube channel open on one laptop and a ‘Sub to PewDiePie’ graphic on another. @pewdiepie I did this at my local #walmart pic.twitter.com/UvF5VKnq3x — Goggles (@GogglesFox) February 23, 2019 While a stunt like this is not entirely original, or the event biggest used in the PewDiePiew vs T-Series battle, it could go some way in helping the Swede maintain his healthy lead over his rival channel. However, it remains to be seen just how long Pewds can keep his position on top of the YouTube mountain as the war is not over for either side.

Awesome PewDiePie skin celebrates his Friday Fortnite appearance – Dexerto
Awesome PewDiePie skin celebrates his Friday Fortnite appearance YouTube: PewDiePie/UMGA fan of YouTube superstar Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has made the Swede an incredible concept skin for Fortnite Battle Royale after his appearance in Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s Friday Fortnite tournament. PewDiePie teamed up with Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins for the second week of Friday Fortnite. The pair finished 9-12th, but only after Pewds was subbed out for TimTheTatman halfway through the tournament. Kjellberg and Ninja certainly seemed to enjoy themselves, as they exchanged jovial insults back and forth. One fan was so impressed with the YouTube King’s role that he made an impressive concept skin just in case PewDiePie steps up his interest in the game and wants a skin added to Epic Games’ battle royale. Reddit user RomanPsd posted the concept on June 9, with the modest caption: “My Attempt At Making A PewDiePie Concept Skin”. Many users were impressed with the skin, and it has amassed over 8,000 upvotes on Reddit since it was posted. The concept skin has a number of features fans will recognise, including the YouTube star’s signature jacket and headset. The hair and beard seem to be pitched perfectly as well, replicating the Swede’s complexion accurately. However, one commenter joked that the skin failed to incorporate the “cat ears” on the headset. It is not the first time a PewDiePie fan has made him a concept skin. Back in December 2018, an avid fan developed a Fortnite Battle Royale skin for the YouTuber, in the hope that it would help him win in his subscriber race against Bollywood label T-Series (it didn’t). PewDiePie’s future with the third-person battle royale game is far from clear, but it’s evident that fans enjoy seeing him play, particularly alongside superstars such as Ninja.

Family wants TikTok “taken down” after son dies from viral ‘chroming’ challenge – Dexerto
Family wants TikTok “taken down” after son dies from viral ‘chroming’ challenge FacebookAn eleven-year-old boy has died after attempting the viral ‘chroming’ challenge seen on social platforms like TikTok, which has taken the life of several other children and teens. TikTok is known for spawning viral challenges and trends — but some of these fads can be deadly. Over the years, several children have died after attempting some of these challenges, such as the ‘blackout’ challenge that claimed the lives of a 10-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy in 2022. Now, yet another viral social media trend has taken a young life, sparking outrage among netizens who are urging companies to take action. 11-year-old boy dies after attempting viral “chroming” TikTok challenge 11-year-old Tommie-lee Gracie Billington died on Saturday, March 2, after allegedly taking part in a popular social media trend called “chroming.” “Chroming” refers to the act of inhaling aerosol, spray paint, or other toxic fumes to get a ‘high.’ The term originated in Australia as a slang word and has been around for some time, but has gained a newfound popularity thanks to social media platforms. The boy’s grandmother, Tina Burns, claims he “died instantly” at a sleepover, where he and some friends decided to try out “chroming” after seeing it online. A Lancashire Police policeman claimed that Billington was found unresponsive at the scene in Greenset Close, Lancaster. The child was later taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Now, the boy’s family is hoping to raise awareness about these dangerous social media challenges in hopes to reduce more fatalities. “Both our families are utterly devastated, but we all want the same thing,” Burns said in a statement to the Lancashire Post. “We don’t want any other children to follow TikTok or be on social media.” “In fact, we want to get TikTok taken down, and no children to be allowed on any social media under 16 years of age. This is breaking us all, but we want to help save other children’s lives and give families awareness to keep their children safe.”

Family’s IRL stream interrupted by shameless thief – Dexerto
Family’s IRL stream interrupted by shameless thief PixabayDuring an IRL stream, a family taking a walk around a city in Brazil had their broadcast cut short after a thief shamelessly took advantage of the situation and ruined their get-together. IRL streams are wildly popular on Twitch due to the unpredictable nature that the real world brings to broadcasts as anything can happen at any given moment. One family found this out the hard way during their September 12 stream when their lighthearted documentation of their time in the city together was rudely interrupted by an unexpected thief. When IRL streams go wrong The family were on a walk together as they explored the city and decided to document the outing by streaming the whole thing, with each of them talking to the camera at various points as they happily enjoyed the moment, before taking a quick pause to pose together. As they were taking the group shot, out of nowhere a thief on a motorbike snatched the phone from out of one of the family members’ hands, without realizing that the device was still streaming as he took off with the stolen item. The stream jarringly bounced around as the thief maneuvered the bike’s handlebars while holding the phone, before the video eventually cut short after the device was switched off. Unfortunately, the thief’s face was never shown as it cut out before he looked at the screen, leaving the family no closer to getting their property back. Not the first time IRL streams have caught thieves This isn’t the first time an IRL streamer has been struck by a thief. During a broadcast on June 24, Twitch personality Brien ‘DailyDasher’ Bry was left shocked after somebody attempted to steal his property. Fortunately for him, the stranger failed at their attempt to steal his phone after two bystanders warned the streamer seconds before by yelling at him, which caused him to turn around. IRL broadcasts show just how unpredictable life can be, as streamers merge the real world with the digital age, and it can really bring out the worst in human behavior. If anything can be taken from this, it’s that nobody is safe in the eyes of a thief so vigilance is key – waving your tech items around in public could have dire consequences.

Family spends $10,000 on ineligible gift cards for Disney Vacation – Dexerto
Family spends $10,000 on ineligible gift cards for Disney Vacation TikTok: aofthecoastA family accidentally purchased the wrong gift cards for their Disney vacation — but did they miss out on the getaway? A family of close relatives had planned their Disney World vacation in 2020. However, they had to reschedule their trip for this year. Leaving the purchasing of tickets up to the grandparents, the rest of the family was left to pack and share in their excitement. Except for one minor detail — they mistakenly bought $10,000 in gift cards for the streaming service Disney+ instead of gift cards for their actual Disney World vacation. Family gets refunded $10,000 so they can go on Disney vacation Andie and 16 of her family members of varying ages were prepared to leave for their Disney World vacation in just six days when she posted her story to TikTok. Looking to connect with someone from Disney, Andie explained to her viewers how her parents, the eldest in the bunch, bought multiple Disney+ gift cards, totaling $10,000. Unfortunately, this meant they wouldn’t be able to buy Disney theme park tickets, as the Disney+ gift cards were solely for the streaming service and could not be used for Disney World theme parks. Being that the gift cards were also ineligible to return, it would be up to TikTok and Andie’s connections to make it right. Eventually, after emailing multiple Disney representatives, someone replied and offered to turn their $10,000 Disney+ credit into a $10,000 Disney Parks credit. At last, Andie and her family were able to secure their long-awaited vacation. After going viral, Andie spoke with People and expressed her gratitude to those on TikTok who tried to help her. She also mentioned how she received many comments about people having experienced the same issue. Andie also expressed that she wasn’t looking for a free trip to Disney, she just wanted the mistake rectified — and luckily, that’s exactly what happened.

Its founders were Ruby and Kevin Franke, a Mormon couple with six children – Shari, Chad, Abby, Julie, Russell, and Eve. The channel at its peak had around 2.5 million subscribers, however, things took a turn in 2020 after a series of allegations raised concerns among the fanbase. In one deleted video, the couple’s 15-year-old son revealed he had been forced to sleep on the floor in the family room for 7 months after pulling a prank on his younger brother. Investigative YouTube channels then started looking through other historical content the Franke’s had uploaded and found what they believed to be more evidence. In one video, Franke said she wouldn’t bring a packed lunch in for her daughter Eve, who was just 6 years old at the time, because the child forgot to pick it up before school. This led to allegations that Franke was starving her daughter. The Frankes continued posting videos on their channel for a while, but they couldn’t shake the allegations. Uploads became more sporadic until they ceased altogether. The channel has now been removed.

Family goes viral giving kids 2-liter sodas for Halloween as viewers are stunned – Dexerto
Family goes viral giving kids 2-liter sodas for Halloween as viewers are stunned TikTok: MuffarinoA woman has gone viral as her family gives out 2 litre bottles of drinks for Halloween and viewers are pretty stunned by it all. When it comes to Halloween, you won’t ever be too far away from seeing people trying to one-up each other on social media. That could be in the case of the costume, home decorations, or even the candy they give out. Some of those choices can land them in hot water – look no further than the guy who caught some backlash for decorating his home like it was burning down – but other times they just leave people stunned. TikToker Muffarino falls into the latter half of that as her family has kept up their tradition of handing out 2-liter bottles of drinks to trick-or-treaters for Halloween and some viewers don’t know what to make of it. TikToker’s family gives away 2-liter sodas for Halloween That’s right, the TikToker’s family stack their house with 2-liter bottles of soda – be it Coca-Cola, Fanta, or Sprite – every year to hand out to anyone who knocks at their home in Auburn Bay, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They don’t do candy, they do the drinks. The TikToker has been documenting the tradition for three years now, going viral every time she reveals just how many bottles they’ve got stocked up in the house. This year is no different as she’s gotten over 7.5 million views so far. “Awesome nothing I loved more as a small child than to go trick or treating and have to lug a heavy 2L around all night,” commented one viewer. “It’s great but all I can think is how heavy those are to carry around all night!” another said. “Amazing but so heavy lol,” added another. Naturally, many commenters asked just how the whole thing costs Muffarino’s family. “That’s around $4000 probably,” said one, which prompted the TikToker to respond with a winking face emoji. In previous years, she’s shown how her dad has given the drinks away via a chute off the front of their house. Though, that hasn’t been the case so far this year.

Family responds to restaurant charging $50 for ‘loud’ kids: “No way this is real” – Dexerto
Family responds to restaurant charging $50 for ‘loud’ kids: “No way this is real” Instagram: toccoariversiderestaurantA group of parents went out to eat with their children when they were charged an extra $50 for how “loud” their kids were. Though most restaurants and dining services tack on extra fees and gratuity, one family was shocked when they were asked to pay $50 for having “loud” children with them. The menu of the restaurant also listed additional fees like $3 for sharing a meal with someone and more. After hearing of the extra charges the family was expected to pay, the internet has reacted to the many “red flags” of the eatery. Restaurant owner told families they “belonged at Burger King” Lyndsey Landmann and her husband recently dined at the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant in Blue Ridge, Georgia, with four couples and 11 children. Though Landmann thought it was a joke, she told Today, “No way this is real,” as she and her husband were charged $50 for having children that were “too loud.” Landmann further explained that the owner of the restaurant had come over to her table after the bill was given. They then showed that the menu had the charge in writing so patrons could be prepared to pay it. Though the owner made a scene, Landmann had actually thought he was approaching her to compliment how “well-behaved” all the children were, as she had even stopped during the meal to express how good all the youngsters were being. A picture of the menu was also added to Reddit, where it asks for “$$$” for “adults unable to parent.” Also, the menu includes a $3 fee to share meals and a 20% gratuity to split checks. Those who have heard Landmann’s story took to Reddit to side with her. “From the laundry list of extra charges they have, this just seems like a restaurant that uses any excuse it can to gouge customers more.” “This is not a restaurant I would return to with all those conditions. For God’s sake, they are in the customer service business.” Another viewer also commented that the restaurant charged at least 20% gratuity for those who used the birthday menu, asking, “What kind of restaurant charges someone MORE on their birthday?” Landmann never confirmed if she’d go back to Toccoa Riverside Restaurant. However, she did explain how the owner told them they “belonged at Burger King” in front of a slew of diners who were quietly just as shocked.
