Travis Scott slammed by Cody Rhodes in WrestleMania
Rapper Travis Scott made a shocking appearance during the WrestleMania 41 main event, but it didn't end well for him. As Cody Rhodes battled John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship, Scott interfered in the match — only to get dropped by a Cross Rhodes. The drama unfolded on Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where Cody Rhodes and John Cena headlined Night 2 of WrestleMania 41. During the chaotic closing moments of the match, Scott's track 'FE!N' blared through the arena speakers as he walked down the ramp to a stunned crowd. After previously aligning with Cena and The Rock during the Elimination Chamber, Scott played the role of disruptor once again. He pulled the referee out of the ring just as Rhodes was about to secure a win. Moments later, Scott entered the ring to confront Rhodes and attempted to slap him. However, 'The American Nightmare' had the last word. Cody caught the slap attempt and delivered his signature Cross Rhodes to the hip-hop star, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The moment was a callback to Elimination Chamber, where Scott slapped Rhodes as Cena and The Rock turned heel. WWE fans on social media quickly reacted to the WrestleMania moment, with 'CROSS RHODES' trending immediately after the segment. Travis Scott's involvement added a wild celebrity twist to an already intense rivalry between Cena and Rhodes, ending with Cody getting a measure of revenge before ultimately losing the championship to Cena later in the match.

Yad Oud: Meet the Bahraini Oud Virtuoso Reimagining Global Hits
'I want to prove how versatile this traditional instrument can be and how it can have a place in today's musical landscape.' Jan 28, 2025 Chances are you most likely came across a video of a black cyberpunk-masked oud player covering Travis Scott and Playboi Carti banger 'FE!N' whilst lost in a reel rabbit hole on Instagram. Well, that's Yad Oud, a Bahraini musician reinventing the traditional oud instrument through his reinterpretation of popular international tunes by the likes of Kanye West, SZA, The Eagles and Daft Punk, just to name a few. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YAD Oud ♪ (@ Growing up, Yad Oud was heavily influenced by the musical style and the exceptional oud-playing techniques of accomplished Saudi singer-songwriter and composer Abadi Al-Johar, known as 'Akhtbout al-Oud' (the Octopus of the Oud). It's his obsession with the Khaleeji artist's emotional depth that shaped his playing and understanding of the Oud. 'At first, I tried to imitate his oud playing on the guitar, but I quickly realized that the guitar couldn't capture the nuances of his music, especially since it lacked microtones. That's what pushed me to pick up the oud,' Yad Oud tells SceneNoise. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YAD Oud ♪ (@ After covering Arabic songs for a few years, Yad Oud decided to start posting oud covers of his favourite English songs online in an effort to introduce the traditional Middle Eastern instrument to a wider audience in a way that feels fresh yet familiar. He slowly garnered over 84K followers on his Instagram account, and started posting covers of more popular tunes spanning various genres from rap and rock to pop. 'My song selection process is very personal, I choose songs that resonate with me emotionally but also would translate well on the oud.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by YAD Oud ♪ (@ Through a Middle Eastern lens, Yad Oud meticulously reimagines the chord progressions and arrangements of such tracks, adding hints of Arabic percussion in a way that doesn't take away from the essence of the original production. 'Some songs require adjusting the phrasing to better suit the oud's expressive qualities, while others need slight changes in rhythm or ornamentation to make them feel more natural on the instrument,' he tells us. 'My goal is to ensure that every cover feels organic - almost as if the song was originally meant to be played on the oud.'' Although he is now catapulted to social media stardom in a way, he still remains adamant about revealing his true identity or appearing without a mask. 'I've always been drawn to anonymity in artistic expression,' he says. 'For me, the mask symbolises a sense of detachment from the conventional idea of a performer - it creates a sense of mystery and allows the audience to focus entirely on the music rather than on me as a person. I want listeners to connect with the feeling behind the melodies, not any specific image whatsoever.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by YAD Oud ♪ (@
