Drake & Adin Ross To Pay For French Streamer's Funeral After His 'Absolutely Horrific' Death
Drake and controversial streamer Adin Ross are linking up once again to give back.
This time, they're offering to pay for the funeral costs for Jean Pormanove, a French streamer whose real name is Raphaël Graven. The 46-year-old was found dead on Monday, August 18, while he was in the middle of a 10-day stream. Once Ross found out, he took to social media with a vengeance and promised to aid Pormanove's family.
'This is horrible and disgusting. Whoever was apart of this deserves to face severe consequences,' Ross wrote. 'I just spoke with Drake. Drake and I will be covering the funeral costs, this won't bring his life back, it's the least we can do. Prayers go out to Jean's family.'
Ross' tweet implied that Pormanove's death was due to wrongdoing, but French newspaper Le Parisien has shut down the rumor and will conduct an investigation.

'At this stage, there is nothing suspicious, interviews are underway, and an autopsy will be performed,' the prosecutor's office in Nice wrote in a statement to the outlet.
Le Parisien also said that hours before his death, a video of a lifeless man resembling him made the rounds on social media.
According to People , his brother asked people not to share the video.
'I ask you all to respect his memory and not share the video of his last breath in his sleep,' wrote Graven in a translated post to his Instagram Stories. 'My brother, my sidekick, my partner, six years side by side, without ever letting go, I love you, my brother, and we will miss you terribly.'
Pormanove racked up over 500,000 subscribers across all his platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, and Kick. He was known for his extreme pranks and sleep deprivation videos, where other streamers would concoct wild ideas to keep him awake, like oil being poured on him and shot at with a paintball gun.
According to France's junior minister for AI and digital technology, Clara Chappaz, authorities are aware of the humiliating skits he did for content and wrote on X that 'The death of Jean Pormanove and the violence he suffered are absolutely horrific.'
Streaming platform Kick also released a statement regarding his death.
'Our priority is to protect creators and ensure a safer environment on Kick,' the company wrote on X. 'All co-streamers who participated in this live broadcast have been banned pending the ongoing investigation.'

Brooke Hogan claims officials say bodycam footage could shed new light on Hulk Hogan's death
Brooke Hogan, the daughter of WWE legend Hulk Hogan, is shedding light on the series of events that allegedly occurred the day of her father's death. In a series of emotional posts, Brooke claimed she had received "legit calls" from medical and law enforcement officials urging her to seek bodycam footage and 911 tapes that could "change the narrative" surrounding her father's passing. "Here's ALL I KNOW. So stop speculating, stop asking. I have also informed my brother of all of this information who is boots on the ground with everything," she wrote on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday. "FACT: I've 100% gotten legit calls from professionals — from police officials to nurses that were supposedly with my dad on the day of his death telling ME I need to see body cam footage and I need to get a hold of the 911 tapes because they supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative we/I/everyone's been hearing." "Those same professionals feel so passionately about what they witnessed, they have continued to contact me and push me to find specific answers to this very day," she added. "They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing. The short of it is — it's all up to my dad's wife and I have zero control. I can not do anything, my hands are tied, and I have no say in anything regarding my dad — even as his daughter. Those are the rules as I've been told." Brooke said she does "not have any information" on when he is being cremated, but has been told that there will be an autopsy. "I do not know who will be performing the autopsy," she wrote on social media. "Any information I receive from an autopsy — if one happens — whether I believe it or not, I will be keeping private out of respect for my father." Brooke went on to say that she doesn't know if the officials who reached out to her have relayed this information to the medical examiner's office. "And if they did, I do not know why it wasn't taken into consideration," she wrote. "All body cam footage and 911 dispatch calls are not available via the freedom of information act. It's all on lockdown. I do not know why." "Do I question his general physician signing off on his death certificate, given his background which is available for anyone to see via a simple Google search? You can answer that one for yourself," she added. "I have to trust that my brother is doing his best to get answers. At the end of the day, answers would be great, but none of it brings my dad back. And my hands are tied. So please stop misquoting, speculating and ASKING me if I know anything. I can not get any information. I know you'd think I could being his blood, but I can't." "We are already dealing with enough. I will not be talking about this 'mystery' any more," she concluded. Hulk died on July 24 after suffering a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, Florida. He had a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that causes irregular and rapid heart rate. He was 71. Brooke was estranged from her father in the later years of his life. Following his death, she penned a lengthy and emotional tribute to her father in which she also clarified the complexity of their relationship. "We never had a 'big fight,'" she wrote." "My father and I never 'fought.' It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand."

Jessie J says breast cancer ‘robbed' her of memories with 2-year-old son
Jessie J is opening up about how her breast cancer diagnosis is affecting her role as a mom. During the Aug. 20 episode of the 'Great Company' podcast with host Jamie Laing, the 37-year-old singer shared that she doesn't feel like she can be the mom she hoped to be because of her diagnosis. 'Yesterday I sobbed, because I miss my boy,' Jessie J said of her 2-year-old rainbow baby. The British singer welcomed her son Sky with boyfriend and pro basketball player Chanan Safir Colman in 2023 after suffering a miscarriage in late 2021, according to the Los Angeles Times. 'I can't be a mom like I want to be a mom and I feel robbed,' she told Laing of her breast cancer. 'The worst part is… I feel like cancer has robbed me of memories with my boy,' she continued. 'And anyone with a toddler knows that they change so much in that space of time. You blink and he's chatting.' Jessie J's breast cancer diagnosis was first revealed to fans in a June 3 Instagram post. In the clip, she shared that she first learned of the diagnosis prior to dropping her 'No Regrets' single in late April. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early,'' Jessie J said on Instagram, adding that she's been 'in and out of tests' for the past few weeks and will be undergoing surgery soon. The singer had previously announced the diagnosis in a May interview with Laing, but that episode wasn't released as Jessie J needed more time to process it, per the video's description. In the now-released episode, Jessie J said she's finally ready to talk about her breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with on March 31. During the interview, Jessie J opened up about how she naturally uses humor to help cope with her breast cancer diagnosis. She later revealed that she was originally told that the lump she found in her breast was likely a cyst and was convinced that it 'wasn't going to be anything' serious. Not long after, doctors told her that the lump contained about 4 to 5 centimeters of cancer. 'I just burst into tears,' she said of the diagnosis. 'They tell you the result and then they're like, 'We'll be in touch.' That's when you're just like, 'Right, what happens next?'' When she revealed the news to Laing in May, she felt a sigh of relief but later realized she hadn't truly experienced the full scope of the diagnosis yet and wanted to wait before talking about it publicly. At that point, she didn't know exactly how serious the diagnosis was. 'When I had spoken about it with you,' she said of the May talk. 'I had cried and had been scared and I was like, 'I'm going to die.'' She reiterated: 'There was moments where I was like, this is going to go left and I'm going to die. And I had those moments.' Jessie J underwent a mastectomy in June and took to her Instagram Stories on July 1 with an update. 'I'm good,' she wrote, according to People. 'Missing being an active Mum/human the most. But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad.' While talking to Laing, she described her son as the 'most hilarious, magical boy.' 'It's like watching your heart walk around,' she said of motherhood. 'And it's an opportunity to reflect on your own self.'
