Rapper Travis Scott has made waves by gifting brand new Lamborghini Huracans to ten other rappers. The man is a fan of flashy displays and the finer things in life, which is why he seems to lover supercars and hypercars.But gifting eight of them, with each worth about $300,000, to ten other rappers is a huge flex. Instead of just picking artists at random, Scott selected them out of musicians who appear on his latest album Jackboys 2.
We're pretty sure all of those rappers were paid for their performances. They might even have agreed to a royalty split on their songs. But we wonder if a new Lamborghini Huracan was part of the contract or if it was something Scott did out of the kindness of his heart.
Well, kindness and also out of a desire to make a splash. After all, moves like this can be better for marketing than some traditional ad campaign. A flex like this gets people really talking and that's what you want when your album comes out.
So everyone knows where the supercars came from, each one comes with a matte gray exterior and Travis Scott graphics on the hood and doors. While everyone got black wheels, it seems different rappers have different wheel designs, so maybe they got to choose that?
Plus, the brake calipers are different colors, so that might have also been chosen by the recipients. If not, Scott himself picked out those different details.
According to bars, the rappers who have been gifted new Lamborghini Huracans include 21 Savage, Sheck Wes, Sahbabii, GloRilla, F1lthy, Fritz Owens, Sofaygo, Vybz Kartel, Don Tolivery, and Waka Flocka.

This Isn't the First Time These Hard Rock Legends Have Said Goodbye

This Isn't the First Time These Hard Rock Legends Have Said Goodbye originally appeared on Parade. With the big "Back to the Beginning" farewell /Black Sabbath concert extravaganza set for July 5, fans might recall that this isn't the first time that the iconic frontman and hard rock legends have said goodbye. Back in 2016, the band was on a tour billed as 'The End,' to support their 2013 album 13. That album opens with a song titled 'End of the Beginning,' in which Osbourne sings 'Is this the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end?' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Back then, Black Sabbath discussed doing one final album followed by another tour but decided to scrap their plans for another studio effort and instead opted to hit the road on a four-leg trek that hit Australia and New Zealand, then Europe, before closing in North America. In advance of that tour, this writer interviewed Osbourne and bassist/lyricist for Yahoo! Music in Osbourne's office, in the back of his Beverly Hills estate. Both Sabbath legends said during that interview the decision to forgo another studio effort came down primarily to a matter of time. 'It would have taken another three years to write and record another album,' Osbourne explained. 'We just felt we wanted to tour.'Back in 2016, Osbourne was already talking like the band was finished after 'The End' tour. 'I'm glad we're all still alive. I'm glad we can still play. I'm glad that we all still want to play, and I'm glad it's the end because we didn't want to fizzle out,' he added. 'To end up with a final thing with the guys I started off with is great. I'm not saying I'm retiring, because I'm still going to be doing some kind of musical thing, but it's been a great journey. We never thought when we first went into the studio in 1969, early 1970, that we were going to last five years, and here we are nearly 50 years up the road and we're still active. That's what really is important to me. "One of my favorite things is we weren't a band that was created by some business guy in London,' Osbourne continued. 'We're four guys. I was in a band with Terry [Geezer], [guitarist] Tony [Iommi] was in a band with [drummer] Bill [Ward]. I went to school with Tony. We came from a three-mile radius of each other, and we formed a band to have a bit of fun and here we are on this amazing journey. I'm glad it's coming to an end on a high note, for a change.'

Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign. Here's What People Are Saying

Sydney Sweeney's new collaboration with the fashion brand American Eagle has become the centre of a whole lot of debate. The Euphoria star unveiled a new campaign with the American clothing brand last week, to promote their line of denim last week. However, it didn't take long before social media clips to promote the deal sparked a wave of discomfort among many critics, largely due to some of the language that's used in the campaign. This is the story so far… What is Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign for American Eagle all about? For American Eagle's autumn 2025 campaign, Sydney Sweeney can be seen sporting items from the brand's denim range, including a new pair of jeans inspired by her. The campaign also makes use of the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', a pun on the term 'great genes'. In another, she explains: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' 'My jeans are blue,' she then quips, at which point a narrator delivers the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Why are some people upset about Sydney Sweeney's new ads for American Eagle? Unfortunately this repeated use of the slogan 'great jeans', a pun on 'great genes', has put some viewers in mind of the language used by white supremacists and eugenicists. By centring a blonde, white star in a campaign referencing 'genes', some critics are accusing the brand of tone-deafness at best – particularly in the current political climate – and deliberately pushing a white supremacist agenda at worst. HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for comment. Others are pointing out that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign doesn't mention one other important aspect of the product American Eagle's new 'Sydney Jean' features a butterfly detail on its back pocket, in a nod to domestic violence awareness, a cause which the White Lotus star has championed throughout her career. In fact, an American Eagle press release confirmed that '100% of the purchase price from 'The Sydney Jean' will be donated to Crisis Text Line', a charity in the US which aims to help those affected by domestic violence. However, the ads are also being criticised for not highlighting this key part of the campaign, with some saying its accompanying slogan is even more jarring as a result. Has Sydney Sweeney or American Eagle said anything about the controversy? Not yet, but we'll be sure to keep you updated if and when they do… READ MORE: Glen Powell's Ex Makes Veiled Comments About How Sydney Sweeney Rumours Affected Relationship Sydney Sweeney Fires Back After Producer's Takedown Of Her Looks And Talent Sydney Sweeney Makes Blunt Comment On Women's Empowerment In Hollywood

Stellantis to absorb $1.7 billion in tariff costs in back half of the year

Big Three automaker Stellantis (STLA) updated its first half financials after releasing preliminary figures last week, noting that President Trump's tariffs cost 1.5 billion euros ($1.73 billion) in 2025. Stellantis did however re-instate financial guidance for the year. Stellantis — which counts brands like Ram, Jeep, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo in its product portfolio — said it revenues in the first half of 2025 to come in at 74.3 billion euros ($86.13 billion), down 13% year over resulting in a net loss of 2.3 billion euros ($2.67 billion). Last year in the same period Stellantis reported 5.6 billion euros ($6.48 billion) in net profit. Stellantis said adjusted operating income (AOI) came in at 500 million euros ($579.6 million), with cash flows from operating activities slipping to a loss of 2.3 billion euros ($2.67 billion). With that said, Stellantis now projects new guidance for the second half of the year expects to see increased net revenues, low-single digit AOI profitability, and improved industrial free cash flow results. Stellantis said this assumes current tariff and trade rules in place as of July 29, 2025. Stellantis stock was down 4% in the pre-market. "2025 is turning out to be a tough year, but also one of gradual improvement. Signs of progress are evident when comparing H1 2025 to H2 2024, in the form of improved volumes, Net revenues, and AOI, despite intensifying external headwinds," new CEO Antonio Filosa said in a statement. Stellantis said last week that it absorbed approximately 300 million euros ($347.77 million) in tariff-related costs as well as loss of planned production in the first half of the year. Only two months ago, Stellantis selected Filosa, a 25-year veteran of the company and current Americas COO, as its new chief executive. His tenure began on June 23, with interim CEO John Elkann remaining as executive chair. Filosa has his hands full repairing the Stellantis business. For the second quarter, Stellantis said global deliveries fell to 1.447 million units from 1.537 million a year ago, down 6%. Sales tumbled in the US 25%, while the greater European region saw sales drop 6%. Stellantis has been trying to pare bloated inventories in the US with pricing incentives and production cuts, and those measures have helped. But the big question remains, at least in the US, of the effect of auto sector tariffs targeting Canada and Mexico production. Stellantis makes several vehicles in Canada and Mexico, where 25% sector tariffs apply to all imports, in addition to auto parts tariffs. Last quarter, Stellantis idled production at plants in Canada and Mexico as a result of tariffs.
