Nadine Nassib Njeim was robbed in Cannes, $20,000 Hermes bag
In a clip circulating on social media, the actress expressed her anger towards the incident and mentioned that the robbery occurred after she checked in her bags at the airport.
Additionally, Njeim shared in disbelief that the Emirates Airlines staff are investigating the matter. However, she said that they offered her unfair compensation, which "wouldn't even buy an accessory for the Hermes bag," emphasizing its hefty price.
The robbery sparked widespread debate on social media, with many users raising topics about image and overpaying for luxurious items such as her $20,000 Hermes bag.
Others referenced China's recent videos about luxurious brands, criticized Njeim, and wrote, "Don't be upset, Nadine. Basically, all the international brands are manufactured in China, and their cost is a thousand times less than what you paid."
They added, "I mean, if you paid $50,000, its real price in China is $500. So, you should be upset about your stupidity and the stupidity of others who pay these amounts. Go to China and buy all the brands, and there is a discount there too. Ridiculousness."

UK citizens use Norman Reedus's Death Stranding face to bypass age restriction
ALBAWABA - Graphics so realistic they bypass the law: Citizens living in the UK recently went viral after reportedly using Norman Reedus's face in Hideo Kojima's game, Death Stranding, to bypass the country's recently introduced "safety measures" for internet age restriction. Kojima's recently released game, Death Stranding 2, received critical success for its stunning graphics, unique gameplay, and engaging storyline. However, UK citizens are taking advantage of the realistic graphics to reportedly bypass age-restricted content on porn websites, Discord, and Reddit. The new law aims to make it harder for children to come across adult content or harmful material on the internet. According to the BBC, platforms that ignore the new law could face a £18 million fine or 10 percent in world revenue. Ofcom, the media regulator, which implemented the law, is using estimated age selfies, credit card checks, and photo ID matching to verify the user's age. The move sparked widespread debate on social media, with many adults protesting. Some individuals raised concerns about sharing sensitive content such as ID and credit cards on the internet. Several others said they are willing to use a VPN to bypass the new law.

Artists who left Spotify after boycott calls
ALBAWABA - Popular music streaming platform Spotify has recently been subjected to massive boycott calls from human rights activists after reports revealed that its CEO, Daniel Ek invested around $600 million in Helsing, a German tech company specializing in AI weapons. Additionally, beyond its CEO's investment in the development of AI weaponry, individuals are boycotting the music streaming platform for barely paying its artists a fair share for the music they upload. According to several reports, Spotify pays its artists $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, which, in contrast to competitors like Tidal, Anghami, and Apple Music, is low. Moreover, several other activists are shedding light on the increase of AI content flooding the platform. Following the mass boycott calls, several artists have joined the movement by taking down their music from Spotify. This list will not include artists who left Spotify after the platform signed a $250 million agreement with controversial media personality Joe Rogan. Several artists have responded to the boycott calls, including Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, and just recently, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. American indie-rock band Deerhoof recently responded to Ek's investment in Helsing and said, "We don't want our music killing people." American experimental rock band Xiu Xiu was featured in a YouTube video by the Internet's busiest music nerd, Anthony Fantano. Xiu Xiu band member Jamie Stewart revealed to Fantano that several smaller records were difficult to remove from Spotify due to label implications. Xiu Xiu took to Instagram with a statement that they are taking down all of their music from what they described as a "garbage hole armageddon portal," while urging their listeners to unsubscribe from the streaming platform. Last but not least, in a jaw-dropping move, experimental rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard also removed most of their records from Spotify. King Gizz released a statement on Instagram which read, "We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform. F*ck Spotify."
