And it's not what one might expect!
Randy Orton is a big fan of female rappers
loves music. In his own words, his love for music is "a little bit of everything." But he is especially a very big fan of
female rappers
. While he "grew up on classic rock," with his Dad playing the likes of Zeppelin, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Styx, and Rush around him. And he, being a fan of Metallica and Nirvana's music, has found an appreciation for rap and hip-hop, especially the female rappers.
Talking to
, Orton said:
"I think it's a little bit of a lot of things, man. These women can f–king rap. It's a little risqué, and I'm bumping it loud. I have a nice system in my home gym, and when I'm working out, I'm playing
,
,
GloRilla
, KenTheMan, every one I name [from the Sheamus workout video]. Baby Tate,
, Bia."
He revealed that when he is in the home gym, or anytime that he is working out, his playlist has a lot of rap music going.
But he is not just listening to mainstream rap. His playlist is quite diverse, as he reveals listening to rappers like Anna Pepe, an Italian rapper, and Snow Tha Product, another low-key rapper, with some pretty good tracks in her discography.
"There's always a bad-ass bassline in the back. It's just fun to workout to, but I like a little bit of everything, too."

It's great to see someone like him, a wrestler who is known for his fierce physicality, talk so openly about his love for rap and rappers. When asked who he would put in the Mount Rushmore of female rappers, it didn't take Orton a lot of time to fess up.
"I think Cardi and Nicki have to be up there. F–k. Megan and GloRilla."
It didn't end there, though. He also has a special place for
, a fellow St. Louis star. Unfortunately, according to Orton, playing her songs when he is working out doesn't go over too well with his wife.
He laughingly revealed:
"Ah, man. You know what? I get in trouble with my wife if I play her songs in the gym."
He also revealed that he met Sexyy during a show along with his wife and kids, and it was great. They bonded over their St. Louis connection, and he is ready to put her up in his Mount Rushmore of female rappers.
"I got to meet Sexyy at an NXT show in October and my wife and kids were there. She was great, and of course she's from St.
Louis. I don't know who I'd take off, but maybe we'll do a top five and throw Sexyy in there, too."
Well, looks like he has his priorities sorted. As do the fans, who are gearing up for Randy Orton and John Cena's upcoming face-off during Backlash on May 10. For now, let's listen to some Cardi, Nicki, Megan, GloRilla, and Sexyy and appreciate Randy Orton's stellar music choice.

TikToker Khaby was detained for overstaying visa, now he has departed US, confirms ICE
ICE confirms that popular TikToker Khaby was detained for overstaying US visa. The immigration department confirmed that ICE detained Serine Khabane Lame, popularly known as Khaby, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, for immigration violations, after such claims went viral with any official clarification. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Khaby entered the US April 30 and overstayed the terms of his visa. Khaby was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the US. Khabane "Khaby" Lame is a Senegalese-Italian TikTok star, born on March 9, 2000, and the platform's most-followed creator with over 162 million followers as of 2025. He gained fame during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic after losing his factory job in Chivasso, Italy, where he's lived since age one. Known for his silent, deadpan comedy, Khaby mocks overly complicated "life hack" videos by showing simpler solutions, using expressive facial reactions and a signature hand gesture. His wordless style, inspired by universal humor, has made him globally relatable. Khaby became TikTok's most-followed user in June 2022, surpassing Charli D'Amelio. He's earned up to $750,000 per post, with a net worth estimated at $16 million, through brand deals with Hugo Boss, Fortnite, and Walmart, among others. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He's also ventured into acting, appearing in Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024), starring in the Tubi series Khaby Is Coming to America, and judging on Italia's Got Talent. A practicing Muslim, Khaby married Wendy Thembelihle Juel in 2023, but they separated by May 2024. He's been recognized in Forbes' 30 Under 30 and Fortune's 40 Under 40. Khaby's arrest or detainment was largely dismissed as fake news before ICE confirmed it. The speculation stemmed from posts by Conservative activist Bo Loudon. Khaby is an Italian citizen since 2022 though he stayed in Italy since childhood after his family came to the country from Senegal.

Local cultures, or booby traps?
CUCCIOLO, DON'T LOOK, BUT THEY'RE HAVING CAPPUCCINO NOW, AT MIDDAY! Bunny and I are in Torino and are mindful not to offend local sensibilities. The name of the city means 'little bull' - an affectionate diminutive given concrete shape in the small taurine-shaped fountains that dot the city and afford crystal-clear, refreshingly cold water to quench the thirst of it's not water, but another potation that is a matter of concern. The Torinese, like all Italians, are passionate about coffee in all its manifestations and have strict dos and don'ts about when it is to be imbibed. Years ago in Delhi, an Italian diplomat friend narrated a cautionary tale about an Indian guest she'd invited to dinner at a restaurant in Italy. When the meal, including the dolce - the dessert course - was over, the hostess asked the guest if he'd like coffee. 'Yes, please. I'll have a cappuccino,' said the invitee, much to the consternation of both hostess and waiter. 'And to make matters worse, he asked for a second cup,' confided my friend, repressing a shudder of remembered horror. In Italy, to ask for a cappuccino after 11 a.m. is deemed, if not exactly sacrilegious, at the very least a solecism bordering on the barbaric. Because to drink such a milk-laden beverage later in the day is considered uncivilised for all except small and I, being bullish about Torino - as indeed about all of Italy - don't want to blot our copybook (kapi book?) by committing such a grievous faux pas. We are careful to get our daily fix of cappuccino - never to be called 'cappucicinos'! - before the clock has struck the taboo stroke of 11 ante however, is not quite as simple as it might sound. In Italy, time has relative elasticity, which could well baffle an Einstein. From midnight onwards, the correct form of salutation is 'Buongiorno' or 'Good day'. So far, so good - or so buono. But at some unspecified moment, Buongiorno is transformed into 'Buonasera', or 'Good evening'. Visitors who proffer a Buongiorno, at say, 3 p.m., could well be met with a corrective Buonasera in confound temporal confusion, there's also a 'Buon pomeriggio', or 'Good afternoon'. But reliable information has it that only pedants and pernickety types would say 'Buon pomeriggio'. All in all, it's enough to say 'Buona notte', 'Good night', and call it a Anglo-Saxon England, as distinct from multiculti Britain, table manners are dictated by cutlery, or what Americans call flatware. For the fish course, the fish knife, with its mysterious notch below the rounded tip, must be deployed.I've asked several people, English and otherwise, who are well-versed in matters epicurean, what the strange notch is for. I am yet to receive an answer that conveys certitude. My suspicion is that the design serves no useful purpose whatsoever, other than to confuse the uninitiated, who reveal themselves as such by displaying their ignorance before assembled one is eating soup - soup is always eaten, never drunk, not even when it's a watery consomme - the dish must be tilted away from you to spoon up, using the soup spoon, never the dessert spoon, the last of the helping. When eating porridge, on the other hand - or the other spoon - the bowl must be tilted towards you. Those who thumb their noses at such pettifoggery could take recourse to the recusant rhyme: 'I eat my peas with honey/ I've done it all my life/ It makes the peas taste funny/ But it keeps them on the knife.'A cautionary tale about culinary contretemps recounts how a Delhi entrepreneur would invite his Shanghai business associate to a Chinese restaurant to make the visitor feel at home. After repeated meals, the guest vouchsafed to his host that, business apart, he loved coming to Delhi to eat 'all that wonderful Indian food at that restaurant you keep taking me to'.

‘We called them vintage clothes…': Miley Cyrus reveals how she used to hide drug expenses from her accountant
Miley Cyrus is no stranger to reinvention. From Disney Channel sweetheart to chart-topper, the 32-year-old pop star has carved a career defined by transformation. But on the Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus opened up about her early experiences with drugs and the chaos that shaped her 2015 experimental album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz. The singer gave fans an intimate look into what she now sees as a wild chapter in her life. 'The drugs were the biggest cost,' she admitted.'Which, to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes.' A post shared by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) Cyrus didn't shy away from revealing a few details. 'She [the accountant] would get these checks. That happens on touring all the time,' Miley explained. 'And every time she saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' And I'd say, 'Oh, it's upstairs.'' The star continued, 'We just really want to protect it. It's really delicate. The fabric…got to take care of it! So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.' That 'vintage' wardrobe, of course, was code for her extravagant drug use. As she looks back, Cyrus is also full of gratitude. 'I'm so glad I survived that time in my life,' she said. 'I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it… I'm very glad I got to do it.' The singer has since been on a journey of sobriety. In an old 2017 interview with Billboard, she described herself as 'evolving' after quitting marijuana. She's been sober since 2019, aside from a brief relapse during the pandemic. These days, sobriety is non-negotiable: 'That's like my God. I need it,' she says. On the work front, Cyrus recently brought fans to tears with a rendition of one of her most nostalgic songs — The Climb, a ballad from Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) that once defined her Disney era. She also joked about how her drummer boyfriend, Maxx Morando, has been waiting since middle school to play this song.
