In a wild turn of events, Lizzo‘s Instagram followers are dwindling faster than ice cream on a hot summer day! It turns out there are some rather shocking allegations swirling around. A trio of former dancers has filed a lawsuit against the pop sensation, her dance captain Shirlene Quigley, and their production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring.

These allegations are as varied as a buffet spread at an all-you-can-eat restaurant. We’re talking assault, racial and religious harassment, fat-shaming, disability discrimination, and even a dash of false imprisonment!
Lizzo, in response to these claims, took to her social media with a lengthy post. She described the past few days as “gut-wrenchingly difficult” and declared the “false allegations” as “unbelievable.” The real drama is unfolding!
KingCasinoBonus, the ultimate casino comparison site, decided to investigate social media! They crunched the numbers over at Social Blade and guess what they found? Lizzo’s Instagram empire has suffered a hit of 226,933 followers ever since that astonishing news hit the scene.

That’s not all – in the blink of an eye (well, almost), the “Pink” singer lost 132,942 followers in just one day! Meanwhile, over on Twitter, it’s no laughing matter either. Since that lawsuit bombshell dropped in California on August 1st, Lizzo has seen her Twitter tribe shrink by over 27,000 followers.
Editorial Insights On Allegations: Ionut Marin’s Perspective
Ionut Marin, Chief Editor for KingCasinoBonus commented on the social media figures: “For Lizzo fans, it will be alarming to see their idol accused of body-shaming, assault and more, when she has been such a proponent of body positivity for women all over the world.”
“As the lawsuit continues and new reports emerge, it will be interesting to see how Lizzo’s Instagram followers will fluctuate. With over 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify, we could also see these figures fall over the coming weeks and months as more details are revealed. These reports could also threaten to derail any of the pop star’s music releases and tours in the future.”

On Feb. 24, 2022, the Russian army began invading a neighboring country, killing thousands of civilians and committing numerous war crimes for no good reason or purpose. The so-called military forces in question also drew the letter ‘Z’ on their tanks, later making it an official brand logo of the invasion.

With the ongoing war, even the slightest sign of support for the wrong side can spark controversy. The “Babushka Boi” artist found himself amidst one a couple of days ago.
A$AP Rocky promoted his new single on Instagram, with one of the carousel’s images being a chain shaped like a letter ‘Z.’ The letter in question also consisted of tank-shaped diamonds, which doesn’t make it any better.

Commentators were asking Rocky if he was okay and accused the artist of supporting war crimes. Metro Boomin also showed up to leave six fire emojis in the comment section, probably rooting for the new track, not the alleged political message.

In A$AP Rocky’s Defense
Considering Rocky’s self-acclaimed total apoliticism (“I’m A$AP Rocky. I did not sign up to be no political activist. I wanna talk about my mother****in’ lean, my best friend dying, the girls that come in and out of my life, the jiggy fashion that I wear, my new inspirations in drugs!”), all of it might be just a stupid mistake.
However, A$AP Rocky also never said anything regarding the ‘Z’ incident, only deleting the controversial picture.
All in all, the controversial situation seems like a big misunderstanding. A$AP Rocky probably should’ve known better before posting a Z-shaped chain, considering what it symbolizes for the past year and a half.
But also, as unfortunate as it is, not everyone follows the abhorrent events currently taking place in Ukraine. Especially people who consider themselves “to be no political activist.” This might not be the right choice after all, but definitely not on the same scale as supporting war crimes.
Unless, of course, A$AP Rocky somehow got involved with Kremlin.
As if fans aren’t excited enough about Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us tour, he’s just announced some thrilling openers. The artist’s movie-style trailer revealed his plans for GloRilla and The Kid LAROI to join him on tour. On Apr 10, the video was shared on Baby’s Instagram, showing the scene where he decided to recruit the tour co-stars.
Fans started off watching Lil Baby chilling in the pool as he was videoconferencing with GloRilla and Kid LAROI to see if they’d go on tour with him. “This Fasho Gone Be A Highlight Of The Summer,” Baby wrote in the caption, also promoting the sale date this Thursday, Apr 13.
You can use the password in Lil Baby’s Instagram post caption to order the tickets.
This tour celebrates Lil Baby’s latest album, “It’s Only Me.” The album dropped in Oct 2022, debuting No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In just the first week, he had over 216,000 sales. The album was later certified platinum.
Additionally, GloRilla posted on her Instagram, saying, “It’s bout to be lit in a city near you.” The tour kicks off on Jul 26 in Houston. Lil Baby plans to party through Los Angeles, Chicago, Oakland, Washington DC, Boston, Baltimore, Charlotte, Memphis, New Orleans, and more. He’ll wrap up on Sep 22 in Fort Lauderdale.

During the tour, Lil Baby won’t just be rapping alongside GloRilla and The Kid LAROI. He also plans to bring Hunxho, Rylo Rodriguez, and Gloss Up. Fans are raving online, thrilled at his choices. Within seconds, Lil Baby received millions of likes on the trailer-like post.
Some even theorize that GloRilla and Lil Baby will get together for a track of their own. The pair last collaborated when they met backstage at a show, posting a video of Lil Baby learning her iconic “Tomorrow” dance. The show is sure to be a sell-out with GloRilla and Lil Baby together, a personal favorite collaboration of many fans on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and more.
To help hype up his tour, Lil Baby performs at the Governor’s Ball in June alongside other artists like Odesza and Aespa.
Rapper and record executive Master P claims that the recent feud between his oldest son, Romeo Miller, is actually over money and not the recent death of Tytyana Miller. Tytyana was Master P’s 25-year-old daughter, who died earlier this year from an accidental fentanyl intoxication.
Why is the father and son feuding?
A social media battle happened between the record executive and his son after not speaking for months. Romeo called out his father after P addressed the suicide of DJ and Dancer Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, but allegedly the 52-year-old wasn’t very present for his own child’s struggle with mental health. The pair had instagram on fire.
Romeo posted a poem in response to his father at one point, called “The Tree of Trauma.” The actor said poetry is one of the most powerful forms of therapy. His caption also included, “Let’s educate and break these cycles together! Your mental health is just like a muscle that needs to be built and treated. The next generation will grow stronger because of our truths and as a man of God, I know mines will one day too. The Tree of Trauma.”
The No Limits Records founder issued an apology of sorts to his son. He spoke on the death of his daughter and spoke in confusion about him thinking this feud was about ‘tWitch,’ but the hip-hop pioneer business mogul revealed this situation was really about money.
“I’m not an ATM machine,” Master P said in a post on Instagram. He said if he is wrong he is apologizing and that he is a work in progress. Miller Sr. said he wants to do this in love and in peace. However, he did jab at his eldest son slightly in the video. Diddy, T.I., Tasha Cobbs Leonard and some other well-known figures commented in support of the New Orleans-native’s video.
A study ranking combined celebrity followings reveal Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez as the most influential celebrity couple. KeyOpinionLeaders researched which celebrity couple has the most significant online influence based on their combined Twitter and Instagram followers.
Among the most influential celebrity couples, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez garnered 646.8 million followers, almost 175 million more than the second-place pair.
Initially dating since late 2016, the couple met while Rodriguez worked in the Gucci store in Spain as a sales assistant. Having fallen in love rapidly, the couple now lives in Cascais, Portugal, in a luxury pad valued at approximately $17 million with their five children.

Among the massive number of followers the pair has online, Ronaldo’s Instagram leads the pack with more than 500 million followers for the second time in its history. In addition to Rodriguez, she also holds a significant position on Instagram, with 39.4 million followers.
Next In Line For Most Influential Couple?
There is a correlation between the web personality Kylie Jenner and the rapper and record producer Travis Scott, who together have more than 471.9 million followers on their Twitter and Instagram accounts, which makes them the second most influential couple.
In April 2017, the couple started dating. Since then, they have had two children together, a daughter Stormi, born in 2018, and a son Wolf, born in February of this year. Since then, the couple has decided that Wolf will be christened with a different name, but they have not announced this to the public yet.

However, the couple has certainly experienced ups and downs in their relationship. Scott faced numerous allegations of cheating, which he has vehemently denied. Although there may be a few setbacks within the relationship, the couple appears to be very much in love since they were recently seen holding hands during a romantic beach vacation earlier in the month in Malibu.
Spot Three
The third spot goes to pop star Justin Bieber and model Hailey Bieber. Together, they have compiled 428.4 million followers on every social platform they’re active on.
It wasn’t until 2009 that Hailey Baldwin’s father, Stephen Baldwin, introduced the pair to one another. However, the couple didn’t become romantically involved until 2015. For a few years, they remained friends, but they rekindled their romance in June 2018. When the couple confirmed their marriage in October that year, Hailey took on the iconic Bieber surname.

Most Influential Couple, 4th place
Lionel Messi, the Argentinean footballer, and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo rank fourth on the list with combined followers of 398.8 million. Since neither Messi nor the couple has an active Twitter account, the couple’s online following is primarily driven by Messi’s impressive Instagram following. Additionally, Roccuzzo is responsible for contributing 20.8 million Instagram followers of her own to the couple’s overall following.

The Fifth Place Couple and More
In fifth place is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who has 367.1 million followers combined with his partner Lauren Hashian. Lauren contributes 1.2 million Instagram followers of her own to the couple’s total Instagram following. However, ‘The Rock’ is arguably the couple’s most prominent follower, given his hulking physique and legendary cheat days. Furthermore, the list consists of 15 more influential couples, including Beyonce and Jay-Z, with a combined following of 301,808,027, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, with a combined following of 263,674,575.

Ana Codallo, Influencer Officer at KeyOpinionLeaders, made the following comments.
“With the 2022 World Cup underway and a recent decision to leave premier league club Manchester United, Ronaldo is perhaps one of the most talked about people in the world right now.”
In Ana’s opinion, the inclusion of a well-known celebrity alongside Georgina Rodriguez makes sense.
She also emphasizes the difficulty for many celebrities in the spotlight of having such an enormous amount of worldwide attention. In an interesting finding, her team found that many celebrities keep their dating lives out of the public eye by not having any social media accounts.
Excessive attention can be draining for an individual. Keeping one’s life private is a luxury that even celebrities appreciate.
“Other celebrities are more open with their followers about their relationships, particularly if they have long-term partners or have been married for several years,” said Codallo. “Tagging one another’s social media accounts is a sure-fire way for celebrities to drive followers to a partner’s account and increase their online audience.”

Kodak Black is known for showing live to his female industry peers, and Glorilla is the next target on the list.
Unrequited Love
Earlier this week (Oct 18), the CMG star Glorilla hopped on Instagram live to chat with fans. However, an unexpected guest made a surprise appearance in the comment section.
Kodak Black advanced towards Glorilla with a clever callback to her recent “Tomorrow 2” hit.
“You prolly aint my girl today but that’s why I love tomorrow,” the “Zeze” artist typed.
This follows an extremely long list of crushes from Kodak, including both members of the City Girls, Dreamdoll, Beyonce, Zendaya, and Lauren London. Unfortunately for the “No Flockin” star, all those women and Glorilla ignored his attempts at flirting.
However, Kodak seemingly appreciates Glorilla for her music alongside her looks. He gave her props during last week’s heated Twitter rant regarding Lattos win at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards. The Florida MC apparently disapproved of “Big Energy” taking the song off the year over his smash hit “Super Gremlin.”
“The Woman Empowerment Shit Kool,” Kodak sent out. “Don’t Take Nun From Nobody But You Still Gotta Work For It! Don’t Jus Simply Give It To Somebody Kuz They A Woman !!!!! If That’s The Case Y’all Shoulda Gave Song Of The Year To Glorilla Not That Hating Ass Mutt.”
Kodak continued berating Latto, “[‘Big Energy’] Ain’t Move Nobody! Forget About Me At This Point! AT LEAST ‘Fuck N-gga Free’ Was A Anthem ! Tf You Think SONG OF THE YEAR Mean?”
Similarly to the ladies mentioned above, Latto never formed a response to the outspoken 25-year-old.
How Much Is Too Much For Kodak
While some find Kodak’s candid nature charming, others think it’s unsavory. His words got the best of him recently with Stephanie Sibounheuang, girlfriend of recently deceased PnB Rock. In a video posted to his Instagram shortly following news of Rocks passing, Kodak tells the woman to “kill herself.” Like many others at the time, Kodak was convinced that Sibounheuang was involved in the murder because she tagged the rapper’s location before the shooting.
After news of the murder being unpremeditated, Kodak was one of the few celebs publicly apologizing. “To bruh girl, I mean, shit, I was angry at that moment when I first heard it ’cause I had just woke up and shit like that,” he said on Instagram live earlier this month. “But other than that, I don’t wish no bad on her and shit like that. So I give my apologies to her. I hope she keep her head up and all that.”

To no one’s surprise, Kanye West has been facing a lot of backlash after his recent publicity stunt, which involved Candace Owens and awful “White Lives Matter” t-shirts. Now that he’s been suspended from both Twitter and Instagram for his nonsensical antisemitic rant, he continues to dig himself into a deeper hole by joining Donald Trump’s new social media platform, Truth Social.
That Only Scratches The Surface
Among all of this, Ye also purchased Parler, a right-wing social networking service formerly owned by George Farmer, Candace Owens’ husband. In a Bloomberg interview, Ye said, “the most important resource that our species has is knowledge.” That’s pretty funny coming from someone who doesn’t read books. “This is the reason why the compression of thought and free thought has to be overcome to save the human race. It’s literally that serious. And that’s the reason why I am willing to put everything at risk because they’ve already taken enough from me for differences of opinion,” he added.
Kanye will also be having dinner with Trump, an apparent close friend who also spouts antisemitic nonsense regularly.
“No President has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S. Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – Before it is too late!”
It’s known that Kanye West has mental health issues, and he has all the money to get the help he needs. Instead, he puts his focus on saying ridiculous things and disrespecting his own culture. Unfortunately, his followers and the media still give him the pointless attention he’s asking for.
A Not-So-Bright Future
Trump is well-known for creating lies and stirring up controversy. While Kanye hasn’t always been so controversial, pairing these two together will likely bring nothing but bad news. In the 21st century, this could potentially tarnish Ye’s entire career (if it hasn’t already).
Do Kanye’s recent stunts surprise anyone anymore? Is there an actual reason he’s doing this or is this all some wild attempt to stay in the spotlight?
Cardi B is one of the hottest female rappers in the game right now and it seems like she is supporting other female rappers as well as she drops an unofficial verse to Ice Spice’s “Munch.”
The Bronx rapper has been trending all over the internet since she dropped her hit single, “Munch (Feelin’ U).” The catchy lyrics, “You thought I was feelin’ you? That n#### a munch,” went viral all over social media. Cardi B even showed some love to Ice Spice last month while lip-syncing to the track. Cardi also invited Spice to chill with her and Offset in their section where they hosted a “Fashion Night Out” celebration at a NYC club. Sharing pics from the night on Instagram, the “Hot S###” rapper referred to Ice as a “sweetie.”
Cardi Defends Ice Spice!
Many people are not happy with Ice Spice’s rise to fame. Some fans believe that Ice Spice’s success is due to “pretty privilege.” Cardi was quick to defend the latest rapper in the game. She took to her Instagram to say, “Stop hating MUGlies!”
On Sunday, October 9th, the 29-year-old revealed her love for the song as she popped off on Instagram with her own remix to “Munch.” Captioning lyrics from her verse she said, “B###### IS DEAD TO ME THEN, AND THEY DEAD TO ME STILL!!!” As Cardi posted the clip, fans immediately flooded her comments asking the rapper to officially collab with Ice Spice.
Not too long after posting her version, Cardi shut down any ideas that she would appear on an official “Munch” remix. She took to Twitter to say, “I’m not putting that song out by the way …You know I don’t tease…” When the star was asked by a fan why she won’t put the song out Cardi replied, “I like it don’t love it ….just having fun.”
I’m not putting that song out by the way …You know I don’t tease …

6ix9ine has added yet another person to his extremely long list of enemies, and this time the target isn’t even a rapper.
Brittney’s Plight
Brittney Griner’s dire legal situation in Russia has been highly publicized but not yet resolved. The WNBA star went under arrest in February after Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport officials found vape cartridges in her bag. Since then, it’s been a tug of war between American and Russian governmental bodies to get Griner back home to her family. Although Congress has continued to fight for her release, Russian police aren’t letting up either. Her detainment was extended in March and again in May, then a third time in June despite several offers of a prisoner trade. After subsequently pleading guilty to smuggling drugs during her trial, she was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Of course, this isn’t the end of Brittney’s story. President Joe Biden has gone on the record calling the verdict “unacceptable,” and her lawyer has confirmed plans to appeal. But for now, Griner remains in a Russian prison with no clear end in sight.
This ordeal garnered massive support for Griner from her teammates and Americans collectively. Many pointed out the timing of her arrest with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that put the large nation at odds with the U.S. The two events occurred only seven days apart after all.
6ix9ine Takes a Flight
One person who apparently isn’t offering any sympathy is the New York City scandalous rapper. 6ix9ine traveled to Russia this weekend despite warnings from government officials to steer clear. Since his debut in the public eye, trouble seems to follow 6ix9ine, and this was no exception. He posted a short video on Instagram that has people scratching their heads.
“Yo yo, you know we out here….sh** is crazy,” the ‘GOOBA’ rapper said while standing in a town square. “F*** Brittney Griner,” 6ix9ine stated before the video suddenly cut off.
6ix9ine is notorious for his outspoken nature and tendency to attack others via social media. He recently mocked PnB Rock on his Instagram story following the artist’s tragic death at an LA restaurant. Before then, he went after King Von shortly after the Chicago artist lost his life in a violent shooting.
Clearly, 6ix9ine has no interest in repairing his damaged reputation in the music industry. Already, celebs have condemned the “FEFE” artist for his words against Brittney Griner.
“We can trade him for Brittney, no prob,” the “Real Housewives of Potomac”star Candiace Dillard typed.
“I hope they lock his ass up for LIFE Imao,” model Bria Myles added.
It’s evident that 6ix9ine is leaning into a villain role, but how far is too far? And what happens if he finally crosses that line?
The Raging War
6ix9ine’s trip to Russia comes at a particularly strange time. President of Russia Vladimir Putin recently announced a draft for the ongoing war against Ukraine. Across the country, fathers, husbands, and sons have received a notice to pack their things and travel to the nearest draft center.
Previously, Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu stated only 300,000 men would go to the war. Now, citizens realize the government will push far more conscripts onto the battlefield. In just 24 hours, over 3,000 notices were handed out in the small republic of Buryatia alone.
For 6ix9ine, Russia is just a backdrop for a cruel joke. But for native men, young and old, it’s a place to escape from.
Lil Baby was scheduled to headline Vancouver’s Breakout Festival on Sunday, September 18th along with other rappers like Polo G, Quavo, Takeoff, Coi Leray, Trippie Redd and more. However, the “Drip Too Hard” rapper was nowhere to be found.
