Paije Speights throws shade using ASAP Rocky's quotes as James Harden stays silent

star James Harden, posted two simple stories that seemed to say a lot without many words.

Both posts featured rapper ASAP Rocky and touched on life and love in a soft, thoughtful way.
Paije Speights quietly echoes ASAP Rocky's words on love and protection
On June 28, Complex Style posted a quote from A$AP Rocky's recent appearance in Paris. He had just wrapped up his AWGE show and was talking about his new fashion work, his journey, and how he's been feeling lately.
When asked about where he's at in life, ASAP Rocky replied:
'I got a lot of love in my heart, and I've been trying to protect that as much as possible.'
Paije shared this story with just two words: 'also same.'
It wasn't loud, but it landed. Some fans felt she was quietly opening up, maybe about her own life.

Before that, she had reposted another quote from ASAP Rocky. In that one, he had said:
'I'm on some showing love, spreading love shit at the moment.'
This time, she simply wrote: 'Same.'
The posts were short and soft, but they hit a nerve. A few fan pages picked up on it, and people started talking about what she might be feeling.
It felt like she was using Rocky's voice to share her own.
Paije Speights and James Harden keep their bond away from the spotlight
Paije doesn't post a lot. She doesn't post much, but when she does, she looks honest and calm. Paije has been with James Harden for a while. He plays for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The two were seen at some events and on trips together. But they really don't share photos like an online couple. James, who used to play for the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder, also remains private and keeps his life out of social media. That's why these stories stood out.
Fans who follow Paije felt like they were getting a rare glimpse into her thoughts. No long captions. No tags. Just a few quiet words. But sometimes, that's all it takes to say something meaningful.

Singer Paul Simon cancels shows in Philadelphia last minute due to back pain
Washington DC [US], June 29 (ANI): Fans of iconic singer-songwriter Paul Simon were left disappointed after the artist cancelled his scheduled performances in Philadelphia due to health issues. In a post shared on his official Instagram handle on Saturday, the 'Sounds of Silence' singer announced the cancellation of his Saturday and Sunday performances (June 29, 2026) at the Philadelphia Academy of Music, citing chronic and intense back pain. "Regretfully, Paul Simon must cancel two shows tonight, June 28 and tomorrow night, June 29, at Philadelphia's Academy of Music. Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain. Today, it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention," read the post. The team of Paul Simon reassured that the singer would return to complete his music tour. "Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them. However, we are hopeful that after this minor surgical procedure, which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates," read Paul Simon's Instagram post. The post went on to say that full refunds will be provided to those who purchased tickets in advance for the show. The post read, "In the meantime, please go to your point of purchase or local ticket provider for a full refund." According to Variety, Simon, who is currently on his 'A Quiet Celebration Tour,' performed at the Philadelphia venue only two days prior on Thursday. It was the first of three shows to take place in the city. After the stint on the East Coast, the tour heads to the Terrace Theatre at the Long Beach Performing Arts Centre on July 7. Especially considering the surgery, it is unclear how Simon's health will affect the rest of the tour. After stopping in Long Beach, California, Simon is set to do a five-night stint at Los Angeles' Disney Hall, reported Variety. Paul Simon is known for his album 'Graceland', which was released in 1986. (ANI)
