Sunbathing Results In Brain Haemorrhage, Coma For Chinese Woman
Sitting outdoors in the Sun is often termed as the ultimate health hack that can cure illnesses. A Chinese woman acted on the same advice but ended up suffering a brain haemorrhage, resulting in a coma. The incident took place in the Zhejiang province of southeastern China, where a woman named Wang sunbathed for two hours and ended up in the hospital. Ms Wang was attempting a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) remedy she had heard about, according to a report in the South China Morning Post. The remedy suggested that sunbathing the back can "warm the yang energy, dispel dampness and cure illnesses". In the afternoon, Ms Wang decided to sit outside her home in an area for two hours and soak in the Sun. However, upon returning to her room, she collapsed instantly and lost consciousness. After being rushed to the doctors, the doctors diagnosed that she had suffered an aneurysmal cerebral haemorrhage and a life-threatening brain hernia. An emergency procedure was performed, but Ms Wang was left in a coma. After an extensive rehabilitation process which included acupuncture and a series of surgeries, Ms Wang did regain the ability to sit up, stand, talk and eventually feed herself. 'No scientific basis' Ye Xiangming, Director of the Rehabilitation Department at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, warned that sunbathing was not the remedy for curing diseases. "The saying 'sunbathing cures all diseases' has no scientific basis," Ye said. "Long-term exposure to the sun in high temperatures is extremely dangerous for elderly individuals and those with pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure or cerebrovascular disease, potentially leading to serious issues such as heatstroke or stroke," added Ye. Ms Wang's case went viral on Chinese social media platforms, with users pointing out that everything should be done in moderation. Others pointed out that Ms Wang practically 'barbecued' herself by lying in the harsh afternoon Sun for over two hours. 'This is basically a barbecue. Even without pre-existing health issues, you risk heatstroke. Do not blindly follow these trends!' said the user.

Ye Fans Demand Refunds Following Chaotic Shanghai Concert, Member Of Rapper's Team Responds
Update: 6:00 p.m. PT (July 14, 2025) – One of Ye's musical directors reached out to VIBE regarding the Shanghai controversy and clarified what actually happened from an internal perspective. 'We put together a hell of a set and the show was incredible. [Ye] performed for almost 2 hours STRAIGHT in the RAIN only taking one water break, so he wouldn't pass out. Some of them production elements were first of its kind and have never been done before […] This is for sure going to be his comeback tour. Just need the world to be able to hear about it without the negativity,' the statement read. Read our original story below… Fans of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, are demanding refunds after claiming the controversial rapper put on a chaotic show in Shanghai, China on Saturday (July 12). One reported attendee live-tweeted the entire ordeal and claimed Ye started the show over 45 minutes late. 'So I've been a fan of Kanye West since I was a teen. 'MBDTF' opened my ears to the sonics in music. Was hard to get tix for him in Shanghai but got it. Was hyped af. Couldn't even sleep night before. But. Worst concert I've ever been to. @kanyewest u can be better,' he tweeted with footage of the Chicago native performing 'Famous' into 'All Of The Lights.' The guest accused Ye of 'mostly lip synching' during the show and that 'his microphone must have been up less than 20% of the time.' During the encore, the rapper also allegedly 'disappeared for over 20 minutes at one point with tracks like 'Wolves' just played out with him nowhere in sight.' The tweet read, 'I could have just played your music at home man. Came to see u perform????' Ye reportedly 'stayed in the circle so nobody could actually see him closely even if you were vip' and 'wore a mask the entire show.' The guest claimed Ye 'kept stopping mid-songs' and seemed unhappy with the setlist. 'He kept complaining about the order of the songs and repeatedly started tracks and then asked to stop and come back to those later […] He seemed genuinely disengaged as if the show was some kind of contractual obligation. Only audience interaction was walking around and saying let me [hear] some noise,' the attendee tweeted. Other footage surfaced of guests demanding refunds. The initial tweeter concluded his rant by stating, '@kanyewest you should not tour. It's not for you. Stick to the studio. Drop surprise albums and be that guy. I'm the biggest supporter of (most of) your work. You waste people's time, excitement and money by pretending that you're a performer.' Following the show, Ye thanked his Chinese fans on X. 'Thank you to my fans in China and the Chinese government The energy was amazing Love all of you forever Can't wait till the next show,' said the father of four. He has upcoming shows in Slovakia from July 18 to 20 and in Korea on July 26.

Pusha T Gets Candid About Fallout With Ye Ahead Of Clipse Album Release
Pusha T is done holding his tongue when it comes to Kanye West, now simply known as Ye. In a candid new interview with Ebro Darden for Apple Music, the Virginia lyricist opened up about his public fallout from Ye, and the unraveling of their once-close friendship. Ahead of The Clipse's highly anticipated reunion album Let God Sort Em Out set for relase tomorrow (July 11), Pusha sat down to reflect on why his relationship with Ye is no longer what it used to be. 'I feel like me and Ye, we don't gel,' he admitted to Darden. 'Where I am right now in my life, I'm not with anybody who ain't on my team — especially when I've been on your team.' Pusha explained that Kanye's habit of aligning with people who don't support him was the final straw. 'He champions and stands next to anybody and everybody who don't f**k with me,' he said, clearly frustrated. 'And I don't get that. I don't understand that.' The former G.O.O.D Music president, who helped shape some of Ye's most iconic records and vice versa, didn't hold back on how much the shift has stung, especially as their musical collaborations remain undeniable. 'Why would you ever say anything negative about the music we created when you know it slaps?' Pusha said, adding that while Kanye may have his reasons for the distance, he no longer cares to figure them out. Watch at the 45:11 mark below. This isn't the first time Push has spoken out on their fallout. In an earlier GQ interview, he made it clear that the respect he once had for Ye had faded — not just professionally, but personally. 'We made some great sh*t, bro,' he told the outlet. 'He's a genius. But that's why me and him don't get along, because he sees through my fakeness with him. He knows I don't think he's a man. He's shown me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.' Their creative bond helped produce career-defining tracks like 'Runaway,' 'Mercy,' and the classic track 'Infrared' — which led to Pusha's infamous feud with Drake in 2018. Push officially stepped away from G.O.O.D Music in 2022 after Ye's antisemitic comments caused widespread backlash. 'He's not speaking to me now,' Pusha told XXL at the time. 'If you ain't with it, you ain't down. And I ain't with it. I'm not budging on that.' Still, Ye has had moments of regret. When Clipse released their comeback single 'Say Less' earlier this year, the Vultures artist took to X to post: 'I miss me and Pusha's friendship.' But that nostalgia didn't stop him from going on frequent rants including one recent livestream where he questioned Pusha's loyalty. 'Pusha T, all that tough guy sh*i. Where the tough guy sh*t?' Ye said. 'I bled for you. I asked for one thing: use your voice, your stability.' He then took credit for helping Pusha take down Drake in 2018, calling himself the foundation of Pusha's most notorious diss track. The comment left fans wondering if Kanye genuinely wanted reconciliation or just recognition. In the years since their fallout, Ye has thrown jabs from afar, even telling Akademiks that Pusha should stay quiet about his political beliefs given all he's done for his career. 'If you ain't gonna speak on my behalf with the situation I'm in right now with my children, don't talk about my political views,' Ye said. Aside from the on-and-off antics of Ye and his split from his bromance with Pusha T, The Clipse are gearing up for one of Hip-Hop's biggest drops of the year.

Kanye 'Ye' West Struggles Through Chaotic, Rain-Soaked Shanghai Concert
Kanye 'Ye' West's return to live performance is off to a rocky start. The errant rapper, producer and mogul's concert in Shanghai on Friday night was beset by technical problems, terrible weather and thousands of people chanting for a refund after he began the show over 40 minutes late. Ye, who rarely plays live these days due to an ongoing struggle to find willing concert partners not turned off by his many swirling controversies, returned to China last week after conducting a lucrative and highly viral listening party at the Wuyuanhe Stadium in Haikou, Hainan Province, in September 2024. His hotly anticipated gig at Shanghai Stadium, planned in support of his forthcoming album Bully, was sold out within minutes, according to local reports, suggesting that the rapper's various racism and social media controversies have not dimmed the enthusiasm of his Chinese fans. More from The Hollywood Reporter Will Justin Bieber Land a No. 1 Debut With 'Swag?' 'Superman' Star Nicholas Hoult Takes on New Role as Save the Children Ambassador Jeff Lynne Cancels Final ELO Show Due to Health Issues The Global Times, a state-backed Chinese news outlet known for its nationalistic stance, reports that Ye's gig was promoted as 'an immersive, multisensory experience, promising innovative stage design, upgraded setlists, and international production teams.' The paper added that 'promotional materials highlighted the show as a 'comprehensive, genre-defying journey through Ye's musical career, combining sound, light, visuals, and installations.'' From the outset, the mood was challenged in Shanghai Stadium Friday night by heavy rain, which poured down upon the stage and the crowd through the arena's open roof. The crowd grew increasingly restless at some point past the gig's scheduled 7:30 p.m. start time, with thousands eventually chanting for refunds. Ye finally arrived at around 8:10 p.m., walking out onto the stadium's vast gray stage solo, wearing black leather pants and a gray hoodie with 'China' written across the back. Fog, projections and spotlights set an austere mood reminiscent of some of his Donda stage design, but with even fewer visual elements. Occasionally, an enormous projection of Ye was beamed across the stage, while overhead screens featured additional reworked footage. According to the Global Times, tickets to the gig were pricey by Chinese standards, ranging from 980 yuan (about $135) to 2,680 yuan ($375). Videos circulating online in China show moments of Ye seemingly giving the performance his all despite the tough circumstances, throwing his body around to the beat and waving his arms wildly as he raps along to his hits. At other moments, he looks utterly defeated, such as when his most recent single, 'Losing Your Mind,' booms through the stadium's sound system, and he stops signing altogether and slowly walks off the stage. Local reports suggest the sound quality throughout the show was inconsistent at best. Even while the concert was underway, Ye became a trending topic on Chinese social media, sparking intense debate among fans. Some defended the rapper and blamed the setbacks on the weather, while others argued it was all a lazy display — or even a cynical ploy to cash in on China at a time when the rapper's brand remains diminished throughout the West. In a career marked by an uncanny ability to stay in the news, Ye has upped the ante in 2025, seemingly leaning into his pariah status in the entertainment industry, and pop culture generally, with a series of hugely controversial music releases and public stunts. In March, the rapper released a track that credited vocals to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who was about to begin a federal sex trafficking trial. On June 13, Ye, who has been an outspoken defender of Combs, would also appear briefly at Combs' trial and later that month he released Never Stop, an EP by Combs' son Christian 'King' Combs. On the music side, in March, Ye revealed he would release an album titled WW3, which was subsequently changed to Cuck and later A Perfect World. The first single off his upcoming 13th studio album, was the single 'WW3' with a cover image featuring a Ku Klux Klan hood. The second single 'Cousins' was also controversial as its music video feature KKK iconography and a swastika. And finally, the third single was titled 'Heil Hitler.'

Angry Kanye West fans chant for refunds at chaotic Shanghai show: ‘Worst concert ever'
Kanye West's fans erupted into an angry chant after the rapper was more than 40 minutes late to his gig for 70,000 in Shanghai. Over the weekend, the disgraced rapper — who goes by Ye — was greeted by loud chants from frustrated concertgoers who demanded refunds, the Global Times reports. In a fan-recorded clip on X, thousands of fans can be heard demanding a refund after the 'Jesus Walks' rapper's live show was marred by tardiness and a slew of technical problems. 'So I've been a fan of Kanye West since I was a teen. MBDTF opened my ears to the sonics in music,' one fan wrote on X, referencing West's 2010 album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.' 'Was hard to get tix for him in Shanghai but got it. Was hyped af. Couldn't even sleep night before. But. Worst concert I've ever been to. @kanyewest u can be better.' In a follow-up post, the frustrated concertgoer slammed the rapper's decision to perform live. '@kanyewest you should not tour. It's not for you. Stick to the studio. Drop surprise albums and be that guy. I'm the biggest supporter of (most of) your work. You waste people's time, excitement and money by pretending that you're a performer,' he added. In another series of posts, the fan accused the 24-time Grammy winner of lip syncing. 'Mostly lip synching. His microphone must have been up less than 20 percent of the time,' he wrote on X, before claiming that West left the stage for 20 minutes during the encore. 'For the encore, he disappeared for over 20 minutes at one point as tracks like Wolves just played out with him nowhere in sight,' he wrote on X. 'I could have just played your music at home man. Came to see u perform????' During his brief time onstage, fans claimed that West suffered from a myriad of technical issues, forcing the DJ to restart several songs. After the show — which marked West's first since September 2024 — one concertgoer said they had 'never seen such a poorly organized concert,' adding it was the 'worst concert ever.' On Saturday night, event promoter StellarAmberGroup wrote on China's social media platform, Sina Weibo, that not all visuals could be executed as planned, blaming heavy rainfall for the show's disappointing production. 'However, for this long-awaited return after 17 years, Ye's team insisted on prioritizing artistic integrity. After emergency adjustments, the show was delayed to ensure the best possible experience and to minimize the disappointment for the audience,' the statement said. 'We are deeply moved by the understanding and patience shown by many of the attendees and express our heartfelt gratitude. We also extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused and appreciate everyone's attention and support.' The rapper's Shanghai show came just days after his former assistant accused him of sexual assault, battery, stalking, sexual battery, sex trafficking, false imprisonment and oral rape in an amended lawsuit. In legal documents obtained by The Post, Lauren Pisciotta — who was West's personal assistant from 2021 through 2022 — claimed that most of the alleged crimes took place on a business trip to San Francisco during her tenure. Pisciotta, an influencer and former OnlyFans model, claimed she turned down alleged advances from West on numerous occasions. In her amended suit, the 36-year-old claimed that West — who has four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian — kissed her on the mouth and later masturbated while 'forcibly touching' her during a writing session in his hotel room. She further alleged that the 'Stronger' rapper forced himself into her hotel room, asking to use her shower, before orally raping her. She claims he pinned her down, leaving her 'froze[n] in shock and fear.' The 'Runaway' rapper's spokesperson has since fired back at Pisciotta's claims in a statement to Page Six.
