Caution: disturbing footage below.
Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson (best known as Tory Lanez) is serving 10 years in prison for shooting fellow hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. Lanez opened fire on Megan after she mocked his musical talents during an argument, just as they were leaving a pool party hosted by Kylie Jenner at her Hollywood mansion.
During the incident, Lanez told Megan to "dance" after he started shooting at the ground. It's reported that the female hip-hop star had to undergo surgery to remove bullet fragments from her foot.
The trial commenced in December 2022 after months of delays, with Megan stating, "I can't believe I have to come here and do this."
Despite currently serving a 10-year prison sentence, Tory Lanez stood his ground during the trial and refused to apologize to Megan. Fellow stars, such as 50 Cent and Iggy Azalea, took sides in the argument, sparking further drama and debate on social media.

Ariana Grande soars in ‘Wicked: For Good' sequel as Glinda returns, Dorothy teased
ALBAWABA - Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo return in magical Wicked sequel. In Wicked: For Good, Ariana Grande will play Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and Cynthia Erivo will reprise her role as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. The years following Elphaba and Glinda's decision to part ways are covered in the sequel, which continues where the original movie left off. Glinda is now a public figure under the Wizard's authority, while Elphaba has become an adversary of the state of Oz. The window in Glinda's bedroom is cracked in the latest trailer. Elphaba emerges from the shadows beside her as she steps outside to her balcony to look for her. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 02: Cynthia Erivo (L) and Ariana Grande (/AFP ) It also suggests that Dorothy, who is pictured strolling down the yellow brick road with her friends, may have a larger part in the movies than in the musical. However, the actress that portrays her is still unknown. Elphaba uses her broomstick to write the words "Our wizard lies" in the clouds over Oz at another point in the film. However, one scenario that depicts an irate throng searching for her through the streets with torches highlights how unpopular she is. Highlights also include Glinda writing Elphaba a handwritten message that reads, "I hope you get what your heart desires." Elphaba declares she's "off to see the Wizard" as the trailer comes to a close, then she and her winged monkeys soar into the distance on a broom. Ariana Grande Instagram profile "When Glinda is unable to make the decision we so desperately want her to at the end of the first film, it feels empowering for Elphaba to fly away from society," director Jon M. Chu stated. "The results of those decisions are shown to us in the second film. The temperature has increased. The highly popular Broadway and West End musical, which was based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, served as the inspiration for the movies. For its big-screen version, the stage musical was divided into two movies, the second of which is scheduled to be released on November 21. The Hollywood actors' strike disrupted production midway through the two films, which were shot concurrently at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire between December 2022 and January 2024. Wicked received ten Oscar nominations, including two for best costume and production design, and was the highest-grossing film in the UK in 2024. The first movie alone was nearly as long as the stage act, running two hours and forty minutes.

Trump issues travel ban for 12 countries
US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday evening a ban that is set to prohibit travel to the US from a dozen countries and restrict travel from seven others over alleged security risks. Trump issued the directive in a presidential proclamation and an accompanying video message in which he said a recent attack on a Boulder, Colorado march for Israeli hostages in Gaza "has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas." "Very simply, we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States," he said in the video. "The strength of the restrictions we're applying depends on the severity of the threat posed. The list is subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made, and likewise, new countries can be added as threats emerge around the world, but we will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm and nothing will stop us from keeping America safe." The White House said in a statement that Trump took the action after reviewing a report from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other officials It said the restrictions are being imposed because countries either had inadequate screening and vetting processes, which hinder "America's ability to identify potential security threats before entry," or their nationals have high rates of overstaying their visas, while other nations "lack cooperation in sharing identity and threat information, undermining effective U.S. immigration vetting." Trump's order specifically prohibits people from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the US. An additional seven countries -- Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela -- will face partial restrictions and limited entry of their nationals. The ban and restrictions are set to take effect at 12.01 am Eastern Time on Monday.

US 50% tariffs on metals take effect
June 4 (UPI) -- The United States' 50% tariffs on metals imported from nearly all nations took effect on Wednesday. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, doubling the tariffs on all aluminum and steel imported into the United States from 25% to 50% with only Britain receiving a reprieve as part of a trade deal between the two nations in May. "In my judgement, the increased tariffs will more effectively counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-priced excess steel and aluminum in the United States Market and thereby undercut the competitiveness of the United States steel and aluminum industries," Trump said in the order. Roughly 25% of all steel used in the United States is imported from abroad, with neighbors Mexico and Canada serving as the largest exporters of steel into the country. Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico would seek an exemption from the tariff increase while criticizing the move by the United States. "It makes no sense for the United States to levy a tariff on a product in which you have a surplus," he said. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's office also said Canada was "engaged in intensive and live negotiations to have these and other tariffs removed. European Union Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday in an effort to work out an exemption on the 50% duty. Sefcovic posted to X Wednesday that the two had "a productive and constructive discussion." "We're advancing in the right direction at pace -- and staying in clsoe contact to maintain the momentum," he said. Britain was spared from the tariffs after signing the U.S.-U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal on May 8 that granted the United States the ability to fast-track exports including agricultural products, through British customs and market access for industrial products. Tuesday's executive order stipulated, however, that Britain could be subject to the 50% tariffs as soon as July 9 if it is determined that it has not "complied with relevant aspects of the deal." Gareth Stace, director general of U.K. Steel, said Tuesday that while the trade association for the British steel industry welcomes the 25% tariff break, "uncertainty remains over timings and final tariff rates, and now [United States] customers will be dubious over whether they should even risk making U.K. orders." "The [United States] and U.K. must urgently turn the May deal into reality to remove the tariffs completely," he said.
