Chris Brown Releases New Single ‘Holy Blindfold' Amid U.K. Assault Case
Chris Brown
Hot off his record-extending wins at this year's BET Awards and just days after kicking off his Breezy Bowl XX world tour, Chris Brown has released a new single, 'Holy Blindfold.' It's the latest new music from the R&B singer since the release of his Grammy-winning 11:11 (Deluxe) album last April, and comes less than a month after Brown was charged with assault in connection to an alleged 2023 U.K. nightclub confrontation and subsequently released on bail.
On 'Holy Blindfold,' Brown pleads with a lover to be his solace over The Monsters & Strangerz, Jon Bellion, and Tenroc's dreamlike production.
'Lost and I can't find my center / Hope can't help the skelter in my chest / Your arms provide my shelter / Only way I sleep through my unrest,' he croons on the track. 'Let the sky fall / If I'm lookin' at you, then my lens is a rose / Holy blindfold / When I'm lookin' at you, God rest my soul / Feel like I saw the light.'
Brown's 11:11 album, along with the ongoing Breezy Bowl XX tour, is meant to commemorate the singer's career more than 20 years after his debut. The album's title refers to it being his 11th LP and contains 11 tracks, while the tour is in celebration of two decades in the music business.
'I feel like at this point in my career, in my life… what I get my joy from is filling them stands up," he told Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay in 2023. Performing on stage at award shows is a drop in the bucket for him compared to entertaining audiences around the world in his own shows. '[It]
The Breezy Bowl XX tour kicked off June 8 in Amsterdam and wraps up Oct. 18 in Memphis. Brown is due back in U.K. court in connection to the assault case on June 20, the day before he kicks off a two-night stint at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

UK: David Beckham, Gary Oldman and Roger Daltrey knighted
Former England footballer David Beckham, The Who's musician Roger Daltrey and actor Gary Oldman were knighted in King Charles's annual birthday honors list. The 50-year-old former player, who can now call himself Sir David Beckham, told the PA news agency that he could never have imagined receiving such an honorable award. "I'm immensely proud and it's a very emotional moment for me to share with my family," he said. Beckham joined Manchester United as a trainee in 1993 and went on to make nearly 400 appearances for the club, winning a string of titles and cups. He then played for Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and AC Milan. He also captained his country 58 times and made 115 appearances. One of the highlights: in 1999, he won the Champions League final with Manchester United against FC Bayern. His 1999 marriage to fashion designer and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham cemented his celebrity status, which far surpassed his sporting achievements. In 2003, Beckham had already been elevated to the rank of Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). 67-year-old Oldman began his career on stage as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company before rising to prominence in film. He won the Best Actor Oscar for playing Winston Churchill in the 2017 drama "Darkest Hour." He also had roles in the "Dark Knight" trilogy and the "Harry Potter" movie series. More recently, he starred in the TV spy drama "Slow Horses." Roger Daltrey, the lead singer of the rock band The Who and a patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust, was knighted for his charitable work. The British government announced that more than 1,200 people received honors for their achievements, particularly those who dedicated their time to public service. King Charles's official birthday will be celebrated with the annual "Trooping the Colour" military parade in London on Saturday. His actual birthday is November 14. Edited by:

Mom-to-be roasted for naming her daughter after tragic event that shocked the world: ‘Felt like getting punched in the face'
Strange, unique, and eccentric names have come back into fashion for new parents, with monikers ranging from bizarrely-lettered variants to the Millennial-led dog names for babies trend — see short, cutesy names like Max, Sadie, and Bear, as prime examples. However, one parent-to-be took these trends to the next level and paid the price: relentless mocking on the Internet. A friend of the parent in question was sent a seemingly innocent baby shower invitation, but after closer inspection, noticed the name, Chernobyl Hope, was especially unique — or, as the Internet dubbed it after the friend posted the invitation to Reddit, 'ridiculous' and 'offensive.' It appeared as if the parents were unaware of the 1986 nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The recipient of this unconventional baby shower invitation posted it to the subreddit r/tragedeigh, where aggrieved Internet users come together to poke fun at unfortunate, offensive, and just plain crazy baby names, particularly where unconventional spelling is involved — hence the Millennial-core 'deigh' epithet. Many replies said they were so uncomfortable with this baby name, they had no choice but to turn to humor to cope. 'I'm sure everyone at the celebration will be radiant,' one user commented facetiously, prompting the reply: 'Speak for yourself. If I were a guest at that shower and heard that name, I'd have a total meltdown.' 'I guess it's a nuclear family,' another user quipped. 'Honestly, if it didn't have the connotation of being a nuclear disaster, it would be a pretty name,' rationalized one commenter, while another quipped: 'Extra points for having the invitation feature an elephant's foot.' Wedged between comments making jokes at this family's expense and users expressing outrage at the name was the only other detail — or semblance of an explanation — the original poster left behind: 'I have a feeling they don't know what Chernobyl meant. I asked them where they got the idea from, and said it just sounded nice,' they explained. Overwhelmingly, users reacted to the wild post with distaste. The Chernobyl explosion occurred in a nuclear power plant located in a town (now recognized as being in Ukraine) of the same name, and remains the worst nuclear accident in human history. 31 people died immediately as a result of the incident, per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but varying studies have produced long-term death tolls ranging into hundreds of thousands of premature deaths as a result of radiation exposure. 'I haven't ever met another person (aside from a cousin) who has been affected by Chernobyl. I was born sick due to it because my mother was pregnant with me and in the area when it occurred,' shared a commenter. 'It has made my life… not fun. Being profoundly disabled at age 37 due to human error… And an error that never offered compensation for all of us who had their lives ruined by it,' the enraged Redditor continued. 'What a legacy. Naming someone after something that has left people with cancer, going through 30+ surgeries just to stay alive, and losing their quality of life. I'm just appalled. Repulsed.' Many commenters also offered the original poster advice for dealing with the profoundly awkward situation. 'Even if you think your relationship with them will sour, at least for the baby's sake, you need to talk to them and suggest they change the name and explain to them what this means, all politely, of course. If they say they will still continue with the name, you can smile and give a thumbs up.' 'Absolutely remove these people from your life,' recommended another blunt reply. Obscene and ignorant as this name choice may be, in many countries, it's not necessarily illegal. In the United States, birth certificate laws and regulations vary by state, but even still, most prohibited names have been disallowed for administrative purposes — monikers in excess of 140 characters and those containing numbers are prime examples. Some states have outlawed names like Jesus Christ and Santa Claus, but as of now, baby Chernobyl Hope is more than fine the government's eyes.
