Sabrina Carpenter Vows to Make ‘Clean Versions' of Her Songs at 2025 Kids' Choice Awards
After dominating the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards, Sabrina Carpenter made a promise to fans that she'll continue releasing 'clean versions' of her songs so younger listeners can enjoy her work, too. This commitment comes amid growing controversy surrounding the sexual nature of her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, sparking debate across the internet.
Sabrina Carpenter, fresh off her sweep at the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards, has made a promise to her younger fans that she'll continue releasing clean versions of her songs. The pop star accepted three major awards virtually, which were Favorite Song ('Taste'), Favorite Female Breakout Artist, and Favorite Album (Short n' Sweet'). She used her speech to reassure parents and kids that they'll always have age-appropriate access to her music.
'I've always wanted one of these ever since I was a little girl,' Carpenter said while holding the orange blimp trophy. 'This is so special to me, and I just can't thank each and every one of you enough for voting. I will continue to make these clean versions of these songs for you,' she added. (via Billboard)
The former Girl Meets World star's statement comes at a time when some fans feel her musical content has become increasingly mature and sexually charged. While Carpenter has embraced an edgier image and lyrical style, she doesn't seem to have forgotten her Disney roots or her younger fanbase, who've grown up with her music but still include many children today.
Moreover, Sabrina Carpenter's promise arrived amid ongoing controversy surrounding her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, set to release on August 29, 2025. The provocative cover art features her on her knees in front of a suited man who's pulling her hair. Critics argued it was 'misogynistic' and pandering to the male gaze, while others saw it as a satirical statement about power dynamics and femininity.
All in all, fans are excited for more new music, but many voiced concerns over the hypersexual themes and imagery that accompanied this new era. Despite this, Carpenter's loyal audience continues to support her artistic choices, especially with the reassurance that clean edits will be available.

Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Fight: Odds, Predictions, Picks
US boxer, actor and YouTuber Jake Paul (L) and Mexico's Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., (R), with boxing ...

BROWN/AFP via Getty Images) Saturday's boxing match between Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is nearly upon us. The two meet in the main event of a boxing card co-promoted by Paul's MVP and Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy. The Paul vs. Chavez fight is scheduled for 10 rounds at a weight limit of 200 pounds. Jake Paul returns to the boxing ring for his first fight since his November 2024 unanimous decision win over Mike Tyson. As for Chavez, Saturday marks the former WBC middleweight champ's first bout since his July 2024 decision win over former UFC fighter Uriah Hall. We look at the Paul vs. Chavez fight betting odds, picks, and predictions. The Paul vs. Chavez boxing card takes place on Saturday, June 28, at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The main card streams on DAZN pay-per-view. Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Betting Odds And Line Movement The opening betting odds for this fight saw Paul as the -1100 favorite over the +590 Chavez. Today, BetOnline has Paul as the -600 favorite over the +390 Chavez. Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Fight Preview JJake Paul (11-1 with seven knockouts) found a niche for himself fairly quickly as a pro boxer. That niche was targeting MMA fighters with name recognition who were undersized or had undeveloped boxing skills. Paul's wins over Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva got the YouTuber-turned-boxer a lot of attention. In 2023, Paul stepped up in competition, skill, and size to face Tommy Fury. The result of that fight was Paul's first and only pro loss, dropping a split decision to Fury. Paul followed that loss by getting back in the ring with a former UFC fighter in Nate Diaz. Paul won that bout by split decision. Since beating Diaz, Paul is 4-0 with wins over Andre August, Ryan Bourland, Mike Perry, and most recently, Mike Tyson. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1 with 24 KOs) has had a hard time shaking the visual of his 2019 loss to Daniel Jacobs, a fight where he came in overweight and quit in the fifth round. Chavez's action on that night left the crowd at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, showering the ring with debris. Chavez is 3-2 since that loss, but he says he will be a different fighter against Paul. "Now I'm disciplined, I'm focused, I want to finish the fight with Paul with a win and take this opportunity to be back in real boxing. That's my goal." Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Tale Of The Tape Record: 11-1 with seven knockouts Age: 28 Height: 6'1" Reach: 76" Stance: Southpaw Record: 54-6-1 with 34 knockouts Age: 39 Height: 6'0" Reach: 73" Stance: Orthodox Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Breakdown LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 14: Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. face off during a press ... More conference at The Avalon on May 14, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Jake Paul is very selective when it comes to his opponents. Over the past few years he's carefully picked competition who have name recognition and who can draw eyeballs to his fights. That approach has largely paid off for Paul as he only has one loss on his record. Paul is not cosplaying as a boxer. He has skills and from all appearances he trains hard and takes the sport seriously. He deserves respect and notice for that. However, he's not facing the cream of the crop when it comes to his career, and that's by (smart) choice. Chavez is the most skilled fighter Paul has faced, outside of Tyson, but like Tyson, who was 58 when he faced Paul, there are questions about how effective a 39-year-old Chavez can be in 2025. After all, he has only fought once since 2021 and that was against a fomer UFC fighter in Uriah Hall. Even when he was in his prime there were questions about how dedicated Chavez was to the craft of boxing and how hard he trained. Chavez is saying all the right things heading into this contest, but then again, this is a man with a 2021 loss to an aging Anderson Silva on his record, a man Paul defeated by unanimous decision. Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Predictions And Picks LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 14: Jake Paul looks on during a press conference at The Avalon on May ... More 14, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) If Chavez comes into this fight at 100 percent and is ready to compete, he has the skills to beat Paul. So, that's the question. Is Chavez going to slip the ropes at the Honda Center on Saturday night at 100 percent? Paul is betting against that. Should you do the same? I don't think so. Expect Paul to respect Chavez's skills in this fight if he shows those attributes early. If Chavez looks as if he isn't taking Paul seriously, look for Paul to be aggressive and make Chavez pay for that disrespect. A dialed-in Chavez has the tools to beat a younger and more athletic Paul, but we haven't seen that version of Chavez in a long while. With that, look for Paul to grind his way to a decision.

From Hinge to City Hall? Meet Zohran Mamdani's artist wife Rama Duwaji
Democrat Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory in Tuesday's New York City mayoral primary — leading to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's concession — has also put the spotlight on his wife. The assemblyman first began serving in the 36th Assembly District in 2021, representing the Astoria, Astoria Heights, and Ditmars-Steinway neighborhoods in Queens. Now, he's set to take his campaign to the next level as he looks to become New York City's next mayor this November. In his speech to supporters Tuesday night, Mamdani acknowledged his wife, Rama Duwaji, whom he married earlier this year in a civil ceremony in New York City. 'I must thank my incredible wife,' Mamdani said as the audience erupted in cheers and applause. 'Rama,' he continued as he kissed her hand, 'thank you.' Duwaji, 27, is originally from Damascus, Syria. Now based in New York City, she's an animator and illustrator who has worked with Spotify, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, BBC, Apple, and the Tate Modern. The couple met on the dating app Hinge, he revealed on The Bulwark podcast earlier this month. Mamdani, 33, shared his belief that there's 'still hope in those dating apps.' According to her website, Duwaji uses drawn portraiture and movement to 'examine the nuances of sisterhood and communal experiences.' In addition to her work as an illustrator, she also creates hand-built ceramics and teaches workshops. She posted a series of photos on Instagram Tuesday with the caption: 'couldn't possibly be prouder.' As the mayoral primary race heated up, Mamdani was accused of hiding his wife from the campaign. He then posted about marrying Duwaji at the start of the year, urging naysayers to keep his wife out of the race. 'Three months ago, I married the love of my life, Rama, at the City Clerk's office,' his post began. 'Now, right-wing trolls are trying to make this race—which should be about you—about her. 'Rama isn't just my wife, she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms. You can critique my views, but not my family.' Duwaji jokingly commented underneath: 'omg she's real.' Duwaji will likely remain by Mamdani's side as he enters the next phase of the mayoral race. Once the primary results are certified by the New York City Board of Elections in mid-July, they'll look ahead to the November 4 general election. Mamdani will square off against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an Independent, and Republican candidate and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. If elected, Mamdani would become New York's first Muslim and Indian American mayor — and he and Duwaji would become the first mayor and first lady of New York City to have met on Hinge.
