De Villiers breaks silence on IPL comeback
Former South African batting star AB de Villiers on Sunday ruled out any chances of reversing his retirement to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL), stating that the tournament is very long and requires a three-month commitment, something he is not ready for at his age. Speaking on a YouTube podcast, when asked whether he would consider making a comeback to the IPL like MS Dhoni, who continues to play at the age of 44, de Villiers dismissed the comparison, saying: "I'll be too nervous. I think I'd rather just support. I'm a very good supporter. The IPL is just very long, and it's a three-month tournament. It's a really big commitment for someone at the age of 41," de Villiers said. The former cricketer last featured in the IPL in 2021, humorously added: "You can't compare me to Dhoni. I work a lot harder. I had a lot more hard work through the years I'm just kidding. Hats off to them. But we're all different. I gave it my best shot, and I'm happy." De Villiers also expressed his delight at the continued support during his recent stint in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. "We had a ground called Northampton, County Cricket Club, and as I arrived, there were a lot of RCB fans. I immediately picked up the chants. It was very cool to hear that again. "Obviously, RCB are the current champions of the IPL, finally, for the first time, I am very happy to say that. It's great to hear the chants even here in the United Kingdom," he concluded. For the unversed, De Villiers's unbeaten century muscled South Africa Champions to thrash Pakistan Champions by nine wickets and win the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 title here at Edgbaston on Saturday.

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.
