Tyga and Madelaine Petsch confirm relationship after months of friendship and public sightings
Tyga and Madelaine Petsch confirm relationship after months of friendship and public sightings
Rapper Tyga and Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch are officially dating, according to sources with direct knowledge who spoke to TMZ.
The two have been close friends for some time, but about a month ago, their bond turned romantic.
Insiders reveal that Tyga and Petsch have been open about their new relationship, describing it as fresh and exciting.
Over the weekend, they were spotted arm in arm leaving the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood after attending Vanity Fair and Instagram's Vanities Party, fueling further speculation about their romance.
The relationship comes at a sensitive time for Tyga, who recently announced the passing of his mother, Pasionaye Nguyen, in February.
While he has kept details private, sources indicate that Petsch has been a source of comfort and support during this difficult period.
Both stars have notably moved on from past relationships. Tyga was last publicly linked to Avril Lavigne, with their relationship ending in 2023.
Meanwhile, Petsch was previously involved with Anthony Li, Halsey's music manager, starting in 2022. However, the exact timeline of their breakup remains unclear.
Neither Tyga nor Petsch has publicly commented on their relationship, and representatives have yet to respond to TMZ's request for comment.

Lil Wayne opens Tha Carter VI tour with LL Cool J at Madison Square Garden
Lil Wayne launched Tha Carter VI tour with a special performance alongside LL Cool J at Madison Square Garden, delivering a joint set that honoured the legacy of hip-hop. Wayne brought LL Cool J on stage to perform 'Bells,' the breakout track from his latest album, which samples the classic 'Rock The Bells.' As the crowd erupted, LL Cool J delivered verses from his original hit before joining Wayne in trading lines over the updated version. Tha Carter VI tour is set to visit major cities including Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Toronto. Supporting acts Tyga and Belly Gang Kushginton are slated to appear at various stops. Despite the tour's strong start, Wayne's new album has received mixed reactions since its June 6 release. The 19-track album reunites the iconic Young Money trio—Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Wayne—and also features a diverse lineup including MGK, Miley Cyrus, Andrea Bocelli, Bono, Wyclef Jean, and Wayne's son, Kameron Carter, blending hip-hop, rock, opera, and pop into a genre-fluid experience. Among the mixed reactions to the album, common critiques from listeners highlight inconsistent production, lack of lyrical sharpness, and a tracklist seen as excessive. High-profile features from 2 Chainz, Kodak Black, and Bono were also viewed as unfocused by many listeners. However, some praised Wayne's risk-taking and introspective tone, though such support remained limited.

Netizens react as ‘Love Island USA' season 7 contestant Yulissa Escobar exits show amid racist clips backlash
Yulissa Escobar has unexpectedly left Love Island USA Season 7 shortly after the series' second episode. The reason behind her departure has not been officially revealed, but the timing follows the resurfacing of clips in which she reportedly uses racial slurs. In episode two, series narrator Ian Stirling made a brief announcement about 18 minutes in, saying, 'Yulissa has left the villa.' Escobar had been coupled up with Ace Greene, but Stirling also mentioned that Greene was now single. While Peacock has yet to comment on the situation, the controversy surrounding Escobar began shortly after the season seven cast was announced. Clips from a podcast, which were obtained by TMZ, show Escobar allegedly using the N-word multiple times. The backlash was swift on social media, with many calling for accountability. Escobar has not yet responded to the allegations as she remains in the villa, where contestants are not allowed to have personal phones. Fans have expressed mixed reactions on social media, with some celebrating her exit, while others criticise the producers for allowing such behaviour to continue on the show. One user on X questioned, 'How did TikTok do more of a background check on that Yulissa girl than the Love Island producers?'

Lil Wayne announces Tha Carter VI album and tour with Tyga
Lil Wayne is officially hitting the road with the Tha Carter VI Tour, set to kick off shortly after the long-awaited release of Tha Carter VI on June 6, 2025. Announced Tuesday, the tour begins with a major launch event at Madison Square Garden—marking Lil Wayne's first solo headline performance at the iconic New York City venue. The North American tour spans 34 dates, running from June 6 to October 2, and will feature stops in major cities including Toronto, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Seattle, Detroit, and Dallas. Tyga will join Weezy as a special guest for the full run, along with Belly Gang Kushington, making it a partial Young Money reunion. Rising star NoCap is also scheduled to perform at select dates. Tickets go on artist pre-sale June 4, with general public sales opening June 6 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can also purchase VIP packages featuring premium seating, exclusive merch, early venue access, and limited-edition tour posters. Tha Carter VI is Lil Wayne's first solo album since 2020's Funeral, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Previous Carter albums (Carter III, IV, and V) have all topped the charts, building anticipation for this latest entry. Lil Wayne first teased the album in a Cetaphil Super Bowl commercial, later confirming the release date in April. With the album and tour both on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for the rap icon.
