Travis Scott mistaken for trespasser, tackled by security at Lakers-Clippers game
Travis Scott found himself in an unexpected courtside altercation on Tuesday night after a security guard at the Intuit Dome mistook him for an unauthorized spectator.
The rapper, who was sitting courtside for the Lakers-Clippers game alongside Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and his daughter Kylie, was stopped while attempting to exit the arena after the game.
As Scott, wearing a brown coat, chain, and green shirt, made his way across the court, a security guard—seemingly unaware of his identity—firmly grabbed the back of his coat, attempting to restrain him. Video footage shows Scott struggling to break free before additional security and venue staff intervened, allowing him to continue on his way.

Despite the bizarre incident, Scott appeared unfazed, dapping up someone near the tunnel before exiting. The situation left fans in disbelief, considering Scott's global fame as a multi-platinum artist and former Super Bowl halftime performer.
The Clippers and Intuit Dome officials have yet to comment on the incident, while Scott himself has remained silent. Meanwhile, on the court, the Lakers dominated the Clippers with a 122-97 victory, led by LeBron James' 26-point performance.

Aaron Rodgers wife revealed: NFL legend reveals marriage on day one of pre-season with Pittsburg Steelers
Aaron Rodgers marked his first day with the Pittsburgh Steelers by revealing a surprising personal update: he secretly married earlier this year. Rodgers, 41, who signed a one-year contract with the Steelers after a turbulent season with the New York Jets, wore a black band on his wedding ring finger during his contract signing last Saturday. The revelation came during a Tuesday press conference, following his first day of training at the Steelers' mandatory mini-camp. 'Yeah, it's a wedding ring,' Rodgers confirmed when asked about the ring. When pressed further on how long he had been married, he replied, 'It's been a couple of months.' The four-time NFL MVP and 2011 Super Bowl champion had spent months contemplating his future before deciding to join Pittsburgh. His move came after being released by the Jets, following a second season that fell short of expectations. Rodgers, a free agent for the first time in his 20-year career, had visited the Steelers and was also reportedly considering an offer from the New York Giants. Before making his decision, Rodgers had kept his options open, even hinting at the possibility of retirement. However, speaking on Tuesday, Rodgers explained that personal matters had delayed his decision to sign with Pittsburgh. "I was dealing with a lot of things in my personal life," he said. "Some things improved a little bit, where I felt like I could fully be all in here with the guys." Rodgers, who spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers before joining the Jets, has kept his personal life relatively private. He did not elaborate on the identity of his wife but has previously spoken about his relationship with a woman named Brittani. He had mentioned her in public interviews last December and April, confirming he was in a serious relationship. Despite his high-profile career, Rodgers had never been married before, making this announcement all the more unexpected. When asked about his decision to join the Steelers, Rodgers credited head coach Mike Tomlin for much of his decision. "It starts with Mike Tomlin. I've been a fan of his for a long time," Rodgers said. "The rapport that fell in between me and Mike made it to where, as I was going through my personal stuff, that there wasn't any other option for me. It was here or not play." Tomlin, who has led the Steelers since 2007 and has never had a losing season, played a significant role in Rodgers' choice. The quarterback also expressed his desire to bring a Super Bowl title to Pittsburgh, calling it "a seventh championship for the city" — a fitting goal for a team with a storied history. Rodgers, who has won MVP four times, acknowledged the continued drive to win a second Super Bowl. "I have a lot that motivates me, but this is about the love for the game — a game that has given me so much over the years," he said. Rodgers' first day with the Steelers marked not only a fresh start in his NFL career but also a new chapter in his personal life, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his performance in the upcoming season.

Kanye West quietly files new business documents under the name 'Ye Ye'
Kanye West may be preparing for another rebrand. The controversial rapper and fashion mogul has reportedly filed new business documents in California under the name 'Ye Ye.' According to The U.S. Sun, the filings were submitted on June 9, 2025, and list 'Ye Ye' as the associated name for several of Kanye's companies, including Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label LLC, and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc. The documents were filed by Hussain Lalani, the Chief Financial Officer overseeing Kanye's business ventures. While the filings reflect a significant branding shift, there is no official confirmation from Kanye himself or any legal update indicating a court-approved name change. As of June 10, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has also not listed any trademark applications for 'Ye Ye.' This move comes after Kanye legally changed his name to 'Ye' in October 2021, citing biblical significance. At the time, he explained, 'Ye is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and it means 'you.' So I'm you, I'm us.' Kanye's potential new alias, 'Ye Ye,' arrives amid rumors about his upcoming music projects and the future of the Yeezy brand. His last album, Donda 2, was removed from streaming platforms, and his recent Super Bowl ad stirred conversations about a fresh direction for his fashion label. For now, fans are left speculating whether 'Ye Ye' signals a new era for the artist or is simply a business move.
