Vaneeza Ahmed clarifies old comments involving Ayeza
During an interview on Gup Shab with Vasay Chaudhry, model and actor Vaneeza Ahmed was asked if she likes taking her own photos, which took her back to an old controversy involving remarks on celebrities' social media presence. "Last time I answered this question, I got into so much trouble," she began.
Recalling a 2022 interview with Naumaan Ijaz, she said, "I said then that I'm from a time when other people used to take our photos. We weren't used to taking our own photos. And I'm not the type of person to have an obsession with myself."
She reminisced about her time on the set of Kuch Ankahi, where she came across co-star Mira Sethi impersonating an animal on TikTok. This led to Vaneeza confessing that, a few years ago, she couldn't even tell the difference between TikTok and Instagram or reels and Stories.
She then segued into discussing the profile of a "model-actress" that she came across back then. "Her name began with an 'A'. I didn't know who she was, and she had over 11 million followers. Naumaan chimed in and told me it was Ayeza Khan. Now, I know who Ayeza is. I wasn't even talking about her. But soon after, her 11 million followers became my haters. They thought I was criticising her, even though I hadn't even mentioned her."
Back in October 2022, Vaneeza along with Adeel Husain made an appearance on the talk show G Sarkar, where she raised objections over how showbiz personalities manage their social media accounts.
While speaking about her own online presence, she said, "Do you think we're the kind of people who'd take selfies all the time? I think it's a hassle to document what you're eating, what you're drinking, and what you're doing."
The Ehde Wafa actor then critiqued an actor whose name she could not remember. "I went to her profile to see what big achievements she has to have that kind of following." However, what Vaneeza saw on the profile disappointed her. "Just pictures of that woman, nothing else. Where is your contribution, that's what matters. So what if you have 12 million followers?"
When questioned about the number of followers she has, Vaneeza admitted that she doesn't even remember. Her Instagram is mostly handled by her niece and when the model does take control, she ends up posting a quote or verse that she'd like to share with her audience.

Justin Bieber references ketamine in cryptic social media posts about mental health
Justin Bieber has sparked concern with a series of cryptic Instagram posts referencing ketamine and expressing frustration about societal pressures. The 31-year-old singer's messages, shared on June 7, included philosophical musings on self-worth, mental health, and spirituality—along with a controversial mention of the drug. In one post, Bieber pushed back against the idea that relentless hard work guarantees fulfillment. "People keep telling me there's more work to do after I've given everything," he wrote alongside an extreme close-up photo of his face. "I listened to fools who told me to work harder, but there's no end to trying to earn your spot in this life." He later struck a more optimistic note, adding, "You have everything you need right now." Bieber also criticized modern work culture, arguing that life should center on love, not labor. "God will always inspire you to work hard," he wrote before adding, "Stop playing God, please." In a more alarming post, he shared an AI-generated response suggesting ketamine—a legal prescription drug used for depression and pain management—has been misused to "control people's emotions," particularly targeting Black individuals. The "Peaches" singer then shifted focus to spirituality, writing, "I always knew Jesus was the answer to our pain." He questioned the pressure to constantly self-improve, arguing that excessive effort can lead to self-absorption rather than genuine growth. His solution? "Let go, not try harder." This isn't the first time Bieber has shared enigmatic messages. Just days earlier, on June 3, he called "loyalty" manipulative, comparing it to mafia tactics. "Love over loyalty forever," he declared. Amid his introspective posts, Bieber celebrated a major milestone for his wife, Hailey Bieber, whose skincare brand, Rhode, was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty—reportedly making her a billionaire. The couple, who married in 2018, welcomed their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, with Justin occasionally sharing rare glimpses of their family life.

Khaby Lame deported from US under Trump immigration crackdown, resurfaces in Italy with social media update
TikTok star Khaby Lame has reappeared on social media days after being swept up in former President Donald Trump's intensified immigration enforcement campaign. Lame, 25, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on June 6 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for overstaying his visa. He had arrived in the United States on April 30. ICE, in an official statement, confirmed: 'Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, was detained… for immigration violations.' The agency noted that Lame was granted 'voluntary departure' and has since left the country. Now back in Italy, the Senegal-born content creator resumed posting on Instagram, sharing serene images of himself walking along a leafy Italian street and posing with Brazilian soccer player Emerson Royal, who plays for AC Milan. One post featured an image of Venice Beach paired with 2Pac's 'Keep Ya Head Up,' suggesting a reflective farewell to the U.S. Lame's deportation ignited debate across social media, with critics questioning the rationale behind detaining an Italian citizen known for his global popularity and commercial partnerships. Lame, who boasts over 162 million TikTok followers, has worked with major brands like Doritos, Boss, and Binance. His rise to fame began during the pandemic, when his silent reaction videos mocking overly complex 'life hacks' went viral. In 2022, following public pressure, Italy formally granted Lame citizenship. Since then, he has walked the Milan Fashion Week runway, attended the Met Gala, and served as assistant coach at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. Though he has yet to issue a public statement about the incident, Lame's signature shrug — and silence — appear to say it all. His name no longer appears in ICE's detainee database.
