Due to popular demand, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is returning to IMAX theaters for an additional week. Per a recent announcement, tickets for the film are currently on sale for the “limited screenings, which will take place from May 15-21 across nine IMAX 70mm theaters nationwide.” According to Warner Bros., due to the “overwhelming popular and critical response” to the film was “the catalyst behind the re-release.” Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. Pictures’ president of global distribution, confirmed the demand and rerelease in an official statement. “Audiences have spoken, and we listened. If ever a film needed to be experienced in this incredible, larger-than-life format, it’s Sinners,” Goldstein’s statement read. “Ryan has delivered a film that has been embraced by fans who appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into creating a film for this screen-filling format, and we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see it — or see it again — in 70mm IMAX.” Already regarded as a cinematic classic, Sinners debuted at No. 1 at the box office, and it became the biggest debut for an original film since 2019. According to Variety, the film has grossed $122.5 million domestically and $161.6 million worldwide so far. A financial success, Sinners was made on a $90 million production budget, and 20% of the film’s revenue came from IMAX viewers on its opening weekend. Set in the 1930s, the film centers on twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both portrayed by Michael B. Jordan) trying to leave their troubled past behind and return home to Mississippi, “only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back,” per the film’s synopsis. Alongside Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Wunmi Mosaku also star in the film’s cast. One of the striking elements of the film is its use of music, namely the blues. The film is a study in the blues,” Coogler told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “I feel that this is America’s most significant contribution to world popular culture. It all started right there in Mississippi. When you delve deeper into it, you’ll discover a lot of spiritual and supernatural elements.” “The musicians are playing songs about enduring demon torment and making agreements with malevolent deities,” he continued. I also learned that church members judged the relationship, which was fascinating. Many of the most significant musicians emerged from the church.”

After completing his 22nd season in the league, LeBron James is not sure if he’ll play next year. During the post-game press conference following the Minnesota Timberwolves’ victory over his Angeles Lakers (103-96), a reporter asked James if he was going to play next season. “I don’t know. I don’t have an answer to that,” James explained. “Something I’ll sit down with my family, my wife, and my support group, and kind of just talk through it and see what happens.” “And just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue to play. I don’t know the answer to that right now, to be honest. So we’ll see,” he added. When asked about what pieces the Lakers need next to be successful, James decided not to answer the question, noting that Anthony Davis was traded for Luka Dončić after the team for a center. “No comment. I never say that, my guy AD said what he needed and then he was gone the following week,” James said. “I got no comment. I put that uniform on, gave everything I had.” James also lauded his head coach, JJ Reddic, who is in his first year leading the team. “It’s already hard to be a coach in the NBA, and it’s a hell of a lot harder being a rookie head coach,” James said. “I thought he handled it extremely well. He held us accountable, he pushed us. “That’s one thing for sure, he’s a great coach.” Before exiting the presser, James spoke about how it was to watch his son, Bronny, develop as a player. “Just to see his growth from the moment he was drafted when we were all in New York at the draft party to seeing him in summer league struggle early on … and pick it up towards the end,” James said. “I just saw he has a bright future because not only can he play the game of basketball, he’s just a great [expletive] kid. And you can ask anybody, any one of his teammates, any one of the coaches,” he continued. “Just a joy to be around, and I have to say that I have a lot to do with that.’’

Giannis Antetokounmpo was highly critical of John Haliburton, Tyrese Haliburton’s father. Two-time MVP called him “disrespectful” after an on-court incident following the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, April 29. Following the game, John Haliburton made his way onto the court and waved a flag with his son’s face in front of Antetokounmpo to taunt him. Antetokounmpo also said that John swore at him. Shortly thereafter, the two met face-to-face and shook hands before being separated. When asked about the interaction at the post-game press conference, Antetokounmpo shared his thoughts on the matter. “I believe in being humble in victory,” Antetokounmpo told reporters. “A lot of people out there that are like, no, when you win the game, you talk sh*t and it’s a green light for you to be disrespectful towards somebody else. I disagree.” At the moment I thought he was a fan,” Antetokounmpo said. “But then I realized it was Tyrese’s dad. I love Tyrese. I think he’s a great competitor. [But] it was his dad,” he continued. Coming in the floor and showing me his son, a towel with his face, [and saying], ‘This is what we do. This is what we F-ing do. This is what the F we do.’ I feel like that’s very, very disrespectful. Speaking about the incident, Tyreese Haliburton told reporters that he didn’t “agree” with his father’s actions. “Basketball is basketball, and let’s keep it on the court,” Tyreese said. “I think he just got excited, saw his son make a game winner, ran and came on the court, but we had a conversation.” Afterwards, John Haliburton offered an apology for his behavior. I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight’s game. This was not a good reflection on our sport or my son and I will not make that mistake again. — John Haliburton (@PapaHaliburton) April 30, 2025 “I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight’s game,” posted an X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning. “This was not a good reflection on our sport, or my son and I will not make that mistake again.”

Bow Wow recently revealed that losing his virginity as a teenager came with some consequences. Appearing on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay, the former So So Def rapper was asked about losing his virginity at 15 years old and how it complicated his idea of sex. “My mama said, ‘I’ma know when you get some cause you gonna walk around the house a little different,’” Bow Wow said. Because he didn’t have “a real relationship” with his biological father, who struggled with alcoholism, his first sexual experience said that his lack of guidance left him “out here in the wild.” “After I lost my virginity, I’m thinking—I don’t know if this is every young man when he lose his virginity—but I’m like, ‘How can I get more?’” he said. “’How can I get more of this?’ And, like, do I ask? Like, I don’t even know how I get it. And that’s not having a father. I’m out here in the wild, OG … I don’t even know how to get to the panties again. I don’t know.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Club Shay Shay (@clubshayshay) Things shifted when he got older and “cracked the code,” especially between the ages of 18 and 19, as he became immersed in the nightlife scene. “I was able to go out and enjoy Atlanta, and enjoy these beautiful places … that we enjoyed so much,” Bow Wow explained. “It changed, you know what I mean? It definitely changed. Big time.” Speaking of his virginity, Bow got himself into hot water when he claimed that the model video Esther Baxter gave him his first sexual encounter during a 2012 appearance on Sway in the Morning. Taking to Twitter, Baxter denied Bow Wow’s claim, “Do I REALLY have to respond to this sh*t!?! [laughing emoji].” “First…you people believe the SILLIEST shit!!! Lmao! I thought this shit was a joke…but Lil homie ACTUALLY said that shit!” she went on. “N***a really shot for the stars with that one!!! [laughing emoji] Couldn’t think of anyone else, huh!?! It’s cool I know times are hard right now but u should’ve at least let me know so we could BOTH benefit.”

Robert De Niro speaks out after his daughter, Airyn De Niro, comes out as transgender. While talking with TMZ, De Niro says of his daughter, “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter.” He added, “I don’t know what the big deal is…I love all my children.” During a recent interview with Them magazine, Airyn opens up about what life is like as Robert De Niro’s child. “There’s a difference between being visible and being seen,” Airyn told the outlet. “I’ve been visible. I don’t think I’ve been seen yet.” The aspiring actress says her parents kept her out of the spotlight.  “Obviously no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They wanted it very private,” she says. “They have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.” Airyn credits apart of her transition to Black women. “I think a big part of [my transition] is also the influence Black women have had on me. I think stepping into this new identity, while also being more proud of my Blackness, makes me feel closer to them in some way.” “Whenever I’m at a family gathering on my dad’s side, people would always talk about how much they love my mom and how memorable she was and how happy my dad was when he was with her,” Airyn says. “I want to be like that… I want to be remembered the way that people remember her.”

Latto brought Southern heat to upstate New York this past weekend, headlining Syracuse University’s Block Party 2025 with swagger and style. On Tuesday, she shared snapshots from her campus takeover, offering fans a glimpse of the bold aesthetic and energy she delivered at the student event. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Big mama (@latto) For the occasion, the Atlanta rapper swapped her “Big Mama” persona for “Big Daddy,” channeling early 2000s New York nostalgia in a look that turned heads. She wore a vintage Syracuse Carmelo Anthony jersey, oversized True Religion jean shorts, and classic Timberland boots—an homage to the gritty streetwear style that defined an era. Carmelo led Syracuse to a national title in 2003, and Latto’s outfit paid tribute to that legacy while asserting her dominance in her own lane. One image raised eyebrows as Latto posed in the men’s restroom, standing in front of a urinal as if she were using it. The photo sparked immediate online reactions. “Why you in the men’s washroom witcho John Cena shorts, babygirl?” joked one user on X. But as usual, Latto owned the moment with defiance and humor, reminding fans she bends rules with confidence. Her performance matched the bravado. According to The Daily Orange, she delivered a high-energy set of more than 15 songs, ranging from hits like “Georgia Peach” and “Blick Sum” to her fan-favorite “Sunday Service.” She even tailored her lyrics mid-show, switching “when I leave Atlanta” to “when I leave Syracuse” during “Brokey,” sending the crowd into a frenzy. In true Latto fashion, she didn’t leave without showing love. She handed one Syracuse student $1,000 and gifted Cornell freshman Kumba Cavazzini Diop a pair of Givenchy boots. The moment left Diop stunned. “One day, I was just a little girl screaming Latto songs in my living room,” she said. “She noticed me today.” Musically, Latto has kept a low profile this year. Her only major drop came in January, when she tapped Playboi Carti for the “Blick Sum” remix. But if her Syracuse takeover is any indication, she’s gearing up for a bigger run—and still knows how to command every room she enters.

According to reports, Drake and Yeat are preparing to launch a significant collaboration soon. Prior to this announcement, the two artists had joined forces before in 2023, with their duo track “IDGAGF” off Drake’s For All The Dogs. The forthcoming collaboration was made public after a billboard was set up in Toronto featuring Drake’s OVO symbol and Yeat’s Lyfestyle Corp logo. The ad also contained a note from Drake stating, “”YOUNG TWIZZZZZZZZY FEEL A WAY,” in reference to Yeat’s label. Shortly after, Yeat uploaded a video of the billboard to his Instagram, captioning it “Feel No Wayz.” New Yeat x Drake billboard spotted in Toronto “YOUNG TWIZZZZZZZZY FEEL A WAY” — The Boy pic.twitter.com/nV1zPzn6bP — Kurrco (@Kurrco) April 30, 2025 Drake Teases New Album Amid Legal Battle with Universal Additionally, Drake and Yeat have also partnered up on “As We Speak,” which was a standout track from the Portland rapper’s 2093 project. Nonetheless, Drake recently announced that he’s in the process of releasing some music of his own after dropping his duo album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. In a live stream with Adin Ross, the Toronto rapper declared that his next project is going to “slap.” “Working on a new album,” he stated, prior to saying that it will be a solo release. “It’s a slap.” Aside from Drake’s music endeavors, the rapper is currently in a legal battle with Universal Music Group. The 6 God is suing his record label for defamation stemming from the company’s alleged role of defaming him through Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Notably, Drake claimed that Kendrick Lamar’s highly televised Super Bowl Halftime Show is evidence of his alleged defamation. He argues that Kendrick censoring out the word “pedophile” during his performance of “Not Like Us” has strengthened his case.

Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner finally gave fans what they’ve been speculating about for months—a subtle yet unmistakable confirmation of their relationship. With no formal announcement, the rapper and New York Jets star made their romance Instagram official, sharing a series of intimate, stylized photos that quickly lit up social media. One image in particular—shot in a bathroom, with the two posed closely—left little room for doubt. Though neither has spoken publicly about the relationship, the visual language is clear. Their chemistry has been unfolding quietly across social platforms, through coordinated looks, shared events, and fleeting cameos in each other’s content. But now, the bathroom shot acts as a modern soft launch—a coded declaration that resonates louder than any press release. For Ice Spice, the relationship offers a moment of personal grounding during a fast-moving career. Since her breakout in 2022 with “Munch (Feelin’ U),” the Bronx native has evolved from viral newcomer to pop culture fixture. Her debut EP Like..?, along with hits like “In Ha Mood” and collaborations with Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, showcased her versatility. By mid-2024, she dropped her debut album Y2K!, followed by a deluxe edition that featured BB Trickz, Anuel AA, and DaBaby. Though reviews were mixed, fans praised her risks and evolving aesthetic. Meanwhile, Sauce Gardner has become one of the NFL’s brightest young stars. Drafted fourth overall in 2022, he made history as a rookie, earning Defensive Rookie of the Year and First-Team All-Pro honors. His swagger, on and off the field, has made him a Gen Z fashion icon—known for custom fits, diamond chains, and effortless cool. Together, Ice Spice and Gardner represent a new era of celebrity coupling. Like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce or Ciara and Russell Wilson, they bring together worlds of music, fashion, and sports into one cultural force. Yet they’ve done it on their own terms—eschewing tabloid drama for quiet coordination and minimal commentary. The bathroom photo might seem casual, but in today’s social media economy, it’s a definitive move. Without needing a caption or official statement, Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner have entered the chat—and it’s clear they plan to do so stylishly, strategically, and unapologetically.

Fat Joe has initiated a defamation lawsuit against his former hypeman, Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, alleging a calculated attempt to extort him through false and damaging public accusations. Filed in New York, the suit contends that Dixon, after failing to secure additional compensation, resorted to disseminating unfounded claims on social media, including a serious allegation that Fat Joe transported a minor across state lines for sexual purposes. These assertions were accompanied by a photo featuring Joe alongside Diddy and DJ Khaled, insinuating broader misconduct.​ Sloppy Joe’s ghost writer is speaking out along with former employee. This is nasty work. pic.twitter.com/Pm9wSDeYOG — IG: RahiemShabazz (@rahiemshabazz) December 29, 2024 According to the complaint, Dixon’s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is implicated in orchestrating this alleged smear campaign. Blackburn, known for representing clients in high-profile cases, has faced judicial scrutiny for his litigation tactics. In a separate matter, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote referred Blackburn to the Southern District of New York’s Grievance Committee, citing a pattern of filing lawsuits aimed more at attracting media attention than seeking justice. Fat Joe’s legal team, led by attorney Joe Tacopina, argues that Dixon’s claims are not only baseless but also part of a broader scheme to damage Joe’s reputation and coerce a financial settlement. Tacopina emphasized that Joe will not be intimidated by what he describes as fabricated allegations and is committed to exposing the purported extortion attempt.​ The lawsuit also details the history between Fat Joe and Dixon, noting that their professional relationship began in 2006 and ended amicably in 2019. It wasn’t until years later, according to the suit, that Dixon began demanding additional compensation, claiming uncredited contributions as a “ghostwriter” and escalating to public defamation when those demands were not met.​ As the case unfolds, it highlights the complexities of legal disputes in the entertainment industry, where personal relationships and public personas often intersect, leading to contentious and highly publicized legal battles.
