Camila Cabello, Kim Kardashian mourn celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero: 'Gone too soon'
On the heels of Jesus Guerrero dying unexpectedly at 34 years old, the celebrity hairstylist is receiving an outpouring of love from those who knew him, including his former star clients.
"Our glam fam means the world to us. We work together, vacation and celebrate our lives together! Our great respect for the art of hair and make up has (led) us to meeting some of the kindest souls and made some of our bestest friends," Kim Kardashian wrote in an Instagram story on Monday.
"So when one of our glam family members passes away all of our souls are crushed. My heart breaks for Kylie and everyone who loved Jesus the way we all did," her message continued. "I'm praying for his family, his loved ones and the whole beauty community who feels this deep loss of one of the most talented and kindest to ever do it! Rest in peace @jesushair."
Guerrero's clients ranged from Kylie Jenner to Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Demi Moore, Blackpink's Lisa and Rosalía. One of his most recent projects involved styling Lopez's hair while she was in Abu Dhabi to perform for Saadiyat Nights last week. The multi-hyphenate tagged Guerrero in a post she shared from her "business trip" last Wednesday.

According to his agency the Wall Group and a GoFundMe started by his family, Guerrero recently died, with no date or cause of death given.
"He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more. Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top," reads his family's GoFundMe that is fundraising for expenses related to his death. "Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly."
"Jesus was a beloved artist, friend, and a special soul whose kindness and craft profoundly touched the lives of many," the Wall Group's Instagram Story, shared Sunday, read. "We are heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss. His time with us was cut too short, but his lasting impact on the industry is immense and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him."
One of his most consistent clients was Jenner, who often posted snaps with the Houston-born artist. The two were recently in Georgia together for a promotional event for her canned vodka soda business venture, and last month they were in Paris for Haute Couture Week.
His other recent works include hairstyling for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Interview Magazine cover story, Demi Moore's appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and Kali Uchis' Old Hollywood look at the 2025 Grammy Awards earlier this month.
Last year, highlights from his portfolio included a long, loose waves look for Lisa at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, an understated straight 'do to complement JLo's show-stopping look at the Toronto International Film Festival and Katy Perry's wet mermaid look at the MTV VMAs.

Camila Cabello, Chrissy Teigen pay tribute to Jesus Guerrero
On Sunday, Camila Cabello paid tribute to Guerrero as "a true artist."
"Shocking day for everyone that knew you," she wrote alongside a photo of him in front of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. "You were a true artist, but most of all, a gentle and sweet energy gone too soon and we will all miss you."
Chrissy Teigen also praised the late talent in her own Instagram story, shared Monday.
"Oh @jesushair you were so beyond loved and will be missed so much by so so so many people. I can't believe you are gone," she wrote. "To his family, you raised such an incredible, talented, humble, kind man. We are sending you all the love possible for your unimaginable loss."
Ash K Holm, a longtime friend who also honed her skills in Houston as well as a makeup artist who works with the Kardashians, mourned the loss of "a best friend" and "legend" on Monday. She also shared a sweet memory that showcased Guerrero's character.
"When Hamed and I moved to LA, we shipped a pod with all our belongings. I was still in Houston wrapping up bridal work, so I wasn't there to unpack. Without me asking, Jesus and his boyfriend at the time, Angel, just showed up. They unloaded everything, set up our space, and by the time I got home, our house was completely decorated," she wrote. "Jesus didn't even let Hamed have a say — he and Angel spent hours making our house feel like a home.
"That was Jesus. He didn't just show up—he showed up in every way that mattered."

Sugababes' Keisha Buchanan's ex set for trial next year on harassment and controlling behaviour charges
Sugababe Keisha Buchanan's footballer ex-partner is set to stand trial next Spring over claims he harassed the singer and controlled parts of her life. Taiwo Leo Atieno, 39, is accused of blocking the singer from wearing red lipstick, watching TV and going to the gym, and allegedly controlled what she ate when they were in a relationship. After the breakdown of the romance, it is said he harassed her with texts, emails and social media contact, as well as an alleged request for £25,000. He is also accused - in criminal charges spanning a decade - of attacking Ms Buchanan. Atieno appeared on Thursday at Harrow Crown Court for a preliminary hearing, when Judge Charles Bourne KC set the case down for a five-day trial starting on April 13 next year. The defendant appeared for the hearing on a videolink from HMP Wormwood Scrubs, having been held in custody since first being charged last month. The judge agreed on Thursday that he could be released from prison to await his trial, as long as he abides by bail conditions including the surrender of his passport. Ms Buchanan, 40, was one of the original members of Sugababes alongside Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy, and was part of the band as they became one of the 21st Century's most successful pop acts. She enjoyed chart-topping hits such as Round Round and Push the Button, before ultimately being forced out of the band in 2009. Ms Buchanan had solo success before reuniting with her former bandmates under the title Mutya Keisha Siobhan – and together they seized back control of the Sugababes name in 2019. Atieno was a professional footballer who made appearances for Kenya in qualifiers for the World Cup and African Cup of Nations. The Brixton-born forward made appearances for Walsall, Tamworth, Luton Town, Stevenage and Torquay United before retiring in 2013, and he also had spells playing in Puerto Rico and Rochester in New York state. He is charged with controlling and coercive behaviour towards Ms Buchanan between December 2015 and May 2018, assault occasioning actual bodily harm between January 2012 and January 2015, harassment between January 2021 and December last year, and an alleged breach of a non-molestation order. A previous court hearing was told the singer alleges Atieno controlled her finances and use of the shower while they were living together, allegedly intervened in her eating habits, and only allowed her to go to the gym 'at certain times'. It is said he 'did not allow her to watch TV and did not allow her to wear red lipstick' and also subjected her to verbal abuse, according to the charges. Atieno is also accused of grabbing Ms Buchanan around the neck, punching her on the arm and striking her on the back in a series of alleged assaults, the court heard. When blocked from contacting the singer by a family court order, it is alleged Atieno sent emails to her and he is also accused of harassment over the course of three years with texts, emails, social media contact and a request for £25,000. According to reports, Ms Buchanan was once engaged to Atieno and they had begun making plans for a wedding. Atieno was not asked to enter pleas to any of the charges at Thursday's hearing. He told the magistrates court hearing he denies all the allegations. Atieno, of Langton Road, Kennington, southwest London, is set to return to court to enter pleas in August.

Niontay: Underground Rap's Rockstar
Niontayneeds no introduction — his early-career co-signs say it all. At just 26 years old, the 10K rapper has garnered support and collaborations fromEarl SweatshirtandMIKE, the latter of whom has played a key role in the kickstart of the rapper's uprising from the confines of the East Coast underground. 'MIKE put a battery in my back before I even released music,' Niontay told Hypebeast, the pair boasting five studio tracks as a unit. Now, with two studio albums under his belt — fresh off the release ofFada<3of$at the end of April — the Milwaukee-born, Florida-raised, Brooklyn-based rapper has established a tight-knit, symbiotic network of creative collaborators, includingMAVIandSideshowwithTony Seltzeron production. What he hasn't established, per se, is a signature sound — because he doesn't necessarily want to. 'I don't think I'll ever make two albums that sound entirely the same,' he shared, explaining that he doesn't approach writing in a routine, structural way at all. Sometimes the first four bars he spits land perfectly as the hook, while in others, the final verse comes first. All the while, he ponders: 'What even is structure in a song anymore?' When the rapper pulled up to the Hypebeast studio, he donned a custom dark denim zip-up work jacket with 'Sex after church' embroidered on the back of the silhouette. That's the rapper's producer's name, and his original artist name that he ended up changing after deciding it was too raunchy. He still wanted to keep it for something, so it's still his Instagram name and producer tag, though not an alias. That's where lil peanutbutter comes in. A listed featured artist onFada<3of$,peanutbutter delivers some of bars on Tay's favorite track on the album 'Stuntin' like my baba,' taking a higher-pitched voice than the rapper's typical persona. With his primed production background and peanutbutter in tow, Niontay's come-up is in progress, and we're privy to it live. We're just over a month off from the release ofFada<3of$– how are you feeling? I'm feeling good. I'm happy with the reception. I think the release party was what really showed me the impact the project had and put that in perspective for me. People coming up to me and telling me they f*cked with it and that they bought the vinyl. Sh*t's not cheap. How has your connection with MIKE impacted your career? It would have taken me so much longer to figure it all out and get to where I am today if I didn't know MIKE. He opened so many doors for me. I'll tell him that forever. He put a battery in my back before I even released music. While I was in my head, he was just reassuring me like 'You got it. Don't even trip.' When did you first start making music? I started playing around with making music in 2015 when I was 16. I downloaded this platform called Mixpad. You could record yourself and make beats on it – kinda Ableton-ish. When did you drop the first piece of music that you felt good about? Probably in 2019. That was when I started dropping sh*t that I didn't feel bad about telling people to listen to and saying 'I'm a rapper.' Who is Sexafterchurch (your producer alias) in relation to Niontay and your credited alter ego, lil peanutbutter? Sexafterchurch isn't really an alias. It was my artist name at first, but then I decided to change it because it felt a little too raunchy. People were like 'We f*ck with bro, but he should change his name.' So I changed my name. But it's still my Instagram name, so I wanted to keep it for something. lil peanutbutter is my alter ego. How do you know when you want to tap into lil peanutbutter? It's really all about the subject matter. I just think about who would be the better rapper to deliver the lyrics. 'I feel like a real rockstar.' What was your mindset going into building this album? Honestly, I wasn't thinking about it too hard. I wasn't trying to make an album. That wasn't the goal. I was just making music. I didn't put that pressure on myself of 'Every song has to be for the album.' After about two years, I ended up with a bunch of songs, and I finally started going through all of them. I knew certain ones had to be on the album, like 'Top da top' and 'mumbleman.' I played the rest for the homies and got their input, and that's how I made the album. Did you ever feel pressure to drop a project? Toward the end of the two years. I started getting on myself more like, 'Tighten up. Drop. You got all this music. Put it all together. Come on.' So I finally did. How do you approach the writing process? It depends. Sometimes, I hear a beat, and I know the first four bars I say will be the hook. Other times, it'll just be whatever I'm feeling. What even is 'structure' in a song anymore? You hear rappers rap what you think is the hook, but it's really the verse, and then you think it's finally the hook, but it's still the first verse. How would you describe this album in relation toDiontay's inferno? Diontay's Infernowas me finding myself. I think n*ggas like it a lot because it's so raw. I was playing with a lot of different sounds. But this album is me coming in as a more established artist and acknowledging that, like, 'Iaman artist, let me speak more clearly. Let me put more energy into this verse.' Overall, it's just a more polished project. I don't think I'll ever make two albums that sound entirely the same. Why didn't you choose to produce the entire project? I thought about producing the whole thing but there are too many good ass producers out right now who I wanted on there – MIKE, Harrison, Tony Seltzer, WTFOMARI!, Evilgiane. Something unique about this project is the inclusion of speaking parts as interludes or added onto the end of tracks. Could you say more on this? On '32ummers,' that's my mom talking at the end. That's her funny ass. The rest of the album's interludes come from videos I like on YouTube. The one on 'FULLCOURTPRESSHA' comes from this old gangster documentary I watched in London with Omari. Where else do you draw inspiration from? I really admire the way rockstars carry themselves. I feel like a real rockstar. I draw a lot of inspiration from the golden age of rock n' roll, like Ozzy Osbourne. I try to keep that mindset when I approach designing my merch and my live performances. What's next for you? 10K is gonna have a crazy year. MIKE's got 30 tapes ready to go, so how can I not be ready to go myself?
