ALLDAY PROJECT Tarzzan faces backlash for allegedly using racist slur in viral rap video
Tarzzan, member of co-ed K-pop group ALLDAY PROJECT, is under fire once again, this time over a viral video in which he allegedly says the N-word while rapping. The 22-year-old idol was filmed during a guest appearance in a car, rapping along to 'LIKE WEEZY' by Playboi Carti. Fans claim he replaced the word 'boy' in the original lyrics with the racial slur. The video, initially uploaded to TikTok and later removed from YouTube, quickly spread across social media. Critics pointed to this moment as further evidence of ongoing cultural appropriation by the idol, citing his use of braids, grills, and overall styling influenced by Black culture since his debut. One user posted, 'Everything about that Tarzzan guy should have gotten him cancelled even before his debut,' adding that he has never addressed previous criticisms. Another user said, 'He has not issued a single apology or acknowledgement of his actions.' Defenders of Tarzzan argue the video may have been misinterpreted. The issue gained further traction when a fake apology, styled as an official statement surfaced online. The fan-made post referenced both the viral video and past allegations, falsely claiming Tarzzan had been removed from the group. While not real, the message captured what many fans believed the company should address. However, neither Tarzzan, ALLDAY PROJECT, nor their label THEBLACKLABEL has issued a public comment or apology regarding the incident.

Julia Garner confirms she's still set to play Madonna in upcoming biopic
Julia Garner has shared a hopeful update about the long-anticipated Madonna biopic, confirming that the project is still moving forward. During a recent appearance on the 'SmartLess' podcast hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, Garner revealed that the film is 'supposed to still happen,' despite years of delays and limited updates. Garner was first attached to the Madonna biopic in 2022, following an intense audition process that reportedly involved hours of choreography and singing in front of Madonna herself. Competing against major names like Florence Pugh, Alexa Demie, and Anne Winters, Garner ultimately secured the lead role. She told the podcast hosts that she drew on her childhood love for Madonna's music and embraced the pop icon's fearless attitude during the tryout. 'I kind of just thought, okay, what would Madonna do?' Garner said. 'And I owned it.' The film, co-written and set to be directed by Madonna, has faced development setbacks, particularly when the singer paused production to focus on her Celebration Tour in 2023. While Garner did not provide a timeline for the project's resumption, she noted that 'anything that's great takes a long time.' Madonna's team has not yet commented on the film's current status, but the news of Garner's continued involvement suggests the biopic still has life. Fans remain eager to see how the actress, best known for 'Ozark' and now starring in 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' will embody the Queen of Pop on screen.
