WNBA star sends crude sexual message to her glamorous rival on orange carpet before All-Star party
WNBA star Courtney Williams has come under fire after making a crude sexual joke towards one of her league rivals at the All-Star party. On Thursday night, the league's biggest names - including the likes of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese - gathered for the start of the two-day event in Indianapolis. As the festivities got under way, WNBA duo Williams and Natisha Hiedeman began live streaming from their joint channel 'StudBudz'. As they were on the orange carpet in Indianapolis, Minnesota Lynx star Williams spotted WNBA rival Gabby Williams making her way into the event. Lynx star Williams declared that she was keen to speak with the Seattle Storm forward and said: 'I've got to let her know [that] she looks good'. Eventually, Lynx star Williams went over to the American-French forward and reeled off a list of compliments before saying: 'If it don't work out, call me fine s***'. GABBY ON STUDBUDZ 😁😁😁 — sriya (@pussitionz) July 17, 2025 It appeared that Lynx star Williams was making reference to the rumors that Storm forward Williams is dating fellow WNBA star Marine Johannes. Neither player has confirmed nor denied the claims. However, back in May, Johannes' New York Liberty teammate Jonquel Jones seemingly confirmed the two players' sexuality and hinted at a relationship. An Instagram account The Fruit Slice shared a thread regarding the openly gay players in the WNBA. Jones replied to it: 'A yall missing some of our points! How Gabby on the list but not Marine..? Jaylyn Sherrod? Leo is as well. We number 1 and also we have a 4 out starting 5'. Fans were quick to point out that Johannes hadn't publicly come out. Jones then said: 'I thought they was out lmao my badddd'. Meanwhile, Minnesota Lynx star Williams was previously dating N'Shya Seigle and the couple shared an engagement announcement back in November. However, the post has since been deleted and, during a recent StudBudz stream, she confirmed that she is now single. Elsewhere on the night, Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was spotted enjoying a wild night out as she toasted the beginning of the WNBA's All-Star weekend in style. The 23-year-old welcomed the biggest names in the WNBA to Indianapolis this week as she prepares to captain one of the teams for Saturday's All-Star game, despite no longer being able to take to the court. And while Clark appeared bright and breezy during an appearance on Good Morning America Friday morning, she had certainly been enjoying herself the night before when she and her peers descended on Indianapolis nightclub, INVY, for the All Star Champagne Launch Party. In several videos shared to social media, the guard could be seen bopping along to the music with a drink in hand. At one point, Clark had found her way behind the DJ booth with her arm wrapped around the emcee. When he thrust the microphone in her face and asked if she was 'ready to turn up' Clark let out shout of 'woo' and hoisted her can, which appeared to be a hard seltzer, into the air.

Kneecap's Glasgow Hydro gig sells out as rap trio headline their biggest Scottish show yet
In a jibe to First Minister John Swinney, the band said "A very special thank you to our Head of PR in Scotland Mr John Swinney... best in the business". Kneecap is set to make a return to Glasgow this winter as part of their "biggest run of shows ever" with tickets selling out shortly after going on sale. The Belfast based rap trio - Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí - will perform 14 shows across Scotland, England and Wales later this year. The tour includes a headline performances at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on November 30, 2025, marking the groups biggest show in Glasgow to date. Originally slated to play 11 shows, the group extended the tour by adding three additional dates in Leeds, Sheffield, and Manchester after pre-sale tickets sold out almost immediately due to overwhelming demand. And now it appears the gig has sold out. Taking to Instagram, Kneecap's official account wrote: "Glasgow SOLD OUT in a few hours. 13,000 Scottish F****** comrades... let's go!" In a jibe to First Minister John Swinney, they added: "A very special thank you to our Head of PR in Scotland Mr John Swinney... best in the business". Swinney played down his beef with Kneecap after he was called out by the Irish rappers at a gig in Glasgow earlier this month. The SNP leader previously warned some of the group's political sloganeering was "beyond the pale". The group hit back during their O2 Academy show on July 8, with Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara asking the crowd: " What's your First Minister's name?" "They stopped us playing TRNSMT but they can't stop us playing Glasgow." Taking to Instagram to initially announce the tour, Kneecap's official account wrote: "Here we go. We're back in November across Scotland, England and Wales to play our biggest run of shows ever. "The Prime Minister himself cant stop could stop sending bombs to Israel but that's another story..." Alongside their tour poster - which shows the trio in a bright green car emblazoned with the phrase "Irish Independence Traders" - the band also made a nod to their political stance. The car's number plate reads "26+6=1," a well-known slogan advocating for a united Ireland, referring to the 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland and the 6 counties of Northern Ireland coming together as one. Their winter tour follows controversy earlier this year when Kneecap were originally headlining the King Tut's stage at TRNSMT 2025 but were dropped from the line-up in May after Police Scotland raised public safety concerns. At the time, a Police Scotland spokesperson stated: "Any decision on the line-up at TRNSMT is for the organisers, and there was no prior consultation with Police Scotland before acts were booked. "Officers have highlighted that the potential reaction of such a large audience to this band would require a significant policing operation in order to support the delivery of a safe event. "We have also passed on information from the public around safety concerns to allow organisers to make an informed decision on the running of the festival." Following their removal, Kneecap instead played a sold-out show at Glasgow's O2 Academy on Tuesday, July 8 - the week of the festival - insisting they wouldn't let fans down. Over 2,500 tickets were snapped up in just 80 seconds. Now, the trio is scaling up, preparing for their biggest Scottish show yet at the 14,000-capacity OVO Hydro.
