Travis Scott slammed by Cody Rhodes in WrestleMania
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.

Machine Gun Kelly turned down Sinners audition over racial slur in script
Machine Gun Kelly has revealed that he turned down an audition for the hit film Sinners after refusing to say a racial slur required for the role. The rapper and actor appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, where he opened up about his acting career and past audition experiences. One of the major revelations came when MGK, real name Colson Baker, shared why he chose not to audition for a villain role in Sinners — because it required him to use the N-word during the tryout. "I just couldn't bring myself to say it,' Kelly said, explaining that despite his interest in the part, that line crossed a moral boundary for him. His stance received strong support from the show's hosts, who applauded his decision on-air. Although MGK missed out on the role, he made it clear he's still open to future film opportunities, even speaking directly to movie producers during the interview: 'Keep me in mind for the next one.' Kelly has slowly built a name in Hollywood, having previously portrayed Tommy Lee in Netflix's The Dirt and starring in One Way in 2022. His latest music project, Lost Americana, is set for release next week. While he may have lost one acting opportunity due to principle, fans and peers alike are praising MGK for sticking to his values. The Sinners casting decision has since reignited ongoing conversations in Hollywood about responsible storytelling and racial sensitivity.

Joey Swoll quits social media after Hulk Hogan tribute sparks backlash and threats
Fitness influencer Joey Swoll has announced his departure from social media following intense backlash over a tribute video he posted after Hulk Hogan's recent death. On July 29, 2025, Swoll took to X to explain that he was "done with social media" after his loved ones—including his girlfriend, business partner, and sister—received threats in the aftermath of the controversy. Swoll's tribute, initially shared on TikTok, featured him dressed as the late WWE star for Halloween. However, fans criticized the post as tone-deaf due to Hogan's controversial past, including his use of racial slurs to describe his daughter's former boyfriend—an incident that led WWE to terminate his contract and toy maker Mattel to stop producing Hogan-related merchandise. The situation escalated during a livestream when viewers confronted Swoll about honoring Hogan despite his past behavior. Swoll defended his tribute, saying Hogan's good deeds should not be overshadowed by past mistakes. However, his use of the word "colored" during the discussion drew further criticism. He later posted an apology on Instagram, writing, 'I am sorry. I take full accountability as I too, am still learning and growing.' Swoll acknowledged that he became defensive and was unaware of the full extent of Hogan's past behavior. A lot of people upset with me calling me weak and a quitter or worse. They're not wrong and I deserve it but just so we're clear and you can walk a mile in my shoes. They sent messages telling me they know where I live and they were going to unalive me. That's fine I can handle… — Joey Swoll (@TheJoeySwoll) July 30, 2025 Despite the apology, the backlash intensified. Right-wing followers accused Swoll of caving to "leftist pressure," with some unfollowing him and others calling him 'weak' or a 'quitter.' Commentators like X user Matt Walsh mocked Swoll for 'thanking leftist trolls' and accused him of appeasing the 'woke mob.' Swoll, in a final post, stated that the threats made toward his inner circle pushed him over the edge. As of now, he has not made any additional public statements or clarified if he plans to return to social media.
