Reggaeton singer Jhayco arrested on drug possession charges, reports say
Reggaeton singer-songwriter Jhayco has been arrested in Florida after allegedly being found in possession of drugs, according to reports. The Latin urban star, born Jesús Manuel Nieves Cortés, was arrested in Miami early Tuesday morning, Aug. 12, and charged with cocaine possession and cannabis possession of 20 grams or less after being pulled over by police during a traffic stop, according to Rolling Stone, Variety and NBC 6 South Florida. Before his arrest, Jhayco, 32, was reportedly driving at 5 mph and took over a minute to resume driving after coming to a complete stop, per Rolling Stone and NBC 6. When police approached the singer's car, a deputy reportedly observed a "strong odor of cannabis" coming from the vehicle, and that Jhayco had "white powder" on his pants and nose, Rolling Stone and NBC 6 report. He was allegedly unable to provide the police with a driver's license during the stop.

Additionally, police discovered that the Grammy-nominated singer had "clear baggies with suspect powder cocaine," totaling about two grams, in his pockets, according to Rolling Stone and NBC 6. USA TODAY has reached out to the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office and representatives for Jhayco for comment. Following the incident, Jhayco was booked at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to Variety. His bond was set at $3,000, the outlet reported alongside Rolling Stone and NBC 6. Jhayco becomes reggaeton heavyweight with A-list collaborations Jhayco, formerly known as Jhay Cortez, started pursuing music in his teens after taking inspiration from the Puerto Rican-bred genre reggaeton and one of its leading artists, Don Omar, according to the singer's biography on the official Universal Music Latino website. After writing songs for the likes of Tito El Bambino, Zion & Lennox, Ozuna and Nicky Jam, Jhayco launched his solo career with the release of his 2019 debut album "Famouz." The album featured the J Balvin and Bad Bunny collaboration, "No Me Conoce," which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart and was later certified diamond for sales of over 5 million.

The EDM-inflected reggaeton banger, featured on Bad Bunny's record-selling "Un Verano Sin Ti" album, helped earn Jhayco a Grammy nomination for album of the year in 2023. Jhayco's latest album, "Le Clique: Vida Rockstar (X)," was released in September 2024. The hit record has since been certified double platinum.

Big news, everyone: Rachel Zegler and her new backup dancer boyfriend Nathan Louis-Fernand are still very much a thing. A month after making things Instagram official, Rachel and Nathan have been spotted looking very loved-up all over London, which means it's high time to discuss how and when these two first got together. But first things first: Who is this man? Nathan is a professional dancer who has performed in several musicals, including Hamilton, & Juliet, and The Lion King. He also worked on the London performance of Magic Mike Live (!!) and has appeared in music videos for everyone from Diplo to Jesy Nelson to Swedish House Mafia. Now let's talk about how he and Rachel came to be, shall we? Rumors start circulating that Rachel Zegler and her West Side Story costar Josh Andrés Rivera have broken up after just about three years together.

Rehearsals begin for the West End production of Evita, which is where Rachel and Nathan first cross paths.

I've been to bachelorette parties in spots from Hawaii to Las Vegas, but a Canadian city has been the best destination so far
I've been invited to more bachelorette parties than I can count. They've all been a lot of fun and have given me an excuse to visit fabulous destinations around the world. I've been to Cabo, Napa, Puerto Rico, Palm Springs, India, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and more to celebrate dear friends who were getting married. I'm typically excited whenever a new invitation comes in, but when I found out one of my friends was having her bachelorette in Toronto, I was a little disappointed. I didn't think it would be an exciting destination for a girls' trip. However, to my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. The Canadian city completely blew me away. Toronto is vibrant and brimming with personality, art, and culture To match the city's creative energy, local artists' works were displayed throughout the hotel. The lobby even had giant dandelion sculptures hanging from the ceilings. The hotel was also located within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and cafés. I was blown away by the food offerings in Toronto. Some of my favorite meals were the French fare at Café Boulud, al dente pasta and traditional Italian pizza at Spaccio West Terroni, Latin-inspired cuisine at Baro, and Michelin-starred dining at Alobar Yorkville. The activities in the city felt diverse and fun Although lovely accommodations and great food are already pluses, the diverse activities available around Toronto really exceeded my expectations. For daredevils, CN Tower's EdgeWalk is a must. There's nothing quite like walking around an outdoor platform that's 116 stories above the city. It's an epic view, a great bonding experience, and a one-of-a-kind photo op. If you're traveling with adventurous wine enthusiasts, I recommend the helicopter tour with Niagara Helicopters Limited, which flies over Niagara Falls and ends at a winery. We also enjoyed a segway tour of the Distillery District, which was bustling with boutiques, cafés, breweries, and eateries. For a more low-key afternoon, Toronto also has several noteworthy museums, but I can only speak to the unique experience at the Bata Shoe Museum. It houses antique shoes from regions around the world, imaginative futuristic kicks, and unique artist exhibitions. My absolute favorite part of the trip was renting dresses at The Fitzroy for a night at the opera. The Fitzroy sectioned off an area of the store and provided us with bubbly and sweet treats during the dress fittings. I never expected a Canadian city to become my favorite bachelorette destination I'll fully admit that I was wrong about Toronto. It ended up being an incredible destination for a bachelorette party — and would probably be great for any old girls' trip, too. I had experiences that would be considered out of the ordinary on any trip, like helicopter tours and a night at the opera. Plus, every meal was uniquely delicious. The diverse activities, luxe accommodations, and memorable meals made Toronto my favorite bachelorette-party destination to date.
