Kesha's Banana Controversy During Mighty Hoopla Explained
So, here's everything to know about what happened with Kesha and how fans have reacted to the same.
The 'TiK ToK' singer's fans recently took over social media to take a jibe at her for her recent performance at the Mighty Hoopla Pop Music Festival. As she headlined the show and took to the stage, she began performing her song, 'Boy Crazy.' It was recently released on May 16, 2025.
However, what caught the attention of fans and sparked outrage was a banana moment during the performance. During the performance, Kesha chewed on a banana that was held by one of her male backup dancers. The singer crawled on her four limbs to reach the fruit and carry out the act.
This caused an uproar on the internet, as even the 'Blah Blah Blah' singer's fans called her out for doing such a stunt in front of a massive crowd. Additionally, the clip of the R-rated use of the fruit immediately went viral across the internet.
A fan conveyed their disappointment and wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'I'm so disappointed in my fave why would she do this.'
Another user stated, 'I literally threw up seeing this.' Meanwhile, a third user named @xcxsuspended3 commented, 'She is so gross.'
Moreover, another user named @SamEdwa27753563 wrote, 'This was the only song I liked among the songs she released recently, and after watching this performance, I hate the song now. Wtf was she doing? A DULL performer.'
Despite all the criticism of her performance at the Mighty Hoopla festival, Kesha has not yet made any statement on the same.

Server admits to shameless ‘single mom' lie for bigger tips — and other bizarre fibs frequently told
Show her the money! Aislin Parker, a waitress in San Diego, recently revealed the hack that helps her rake in some extra cash during her shifts. She posted a video to her TikTok, @aislinmarie, where she told viewers that she added a baby photo to her server book in the hopes that restaurant patrons would assume the child is her daughter — boasting that they repeatedly fall for the ruse, hook, line and sinker. 'She's six, I had her when I was 19,' she tells her clientele, inventing a full narrative, 'and her dad didn't want to stay.' According to Parker, her hack is working. Naturally, her guests assume that she's working hard for the child in the picture — technically, she is, seeing as it's her as a child — and offer up extra cash. Parker feels no reservations about her 'server hack.' In a follow-up video, she said: 'Yeah, I'm totally lying, but you gotta do what you gotta do.' 'I love to go into work and be a different person, and make something up,' she added. 'Sometimes I'll go in and have a southern drawl, like 'Hey y'all…' that's what makes work go by fast and makes it enjoyable.' Parker's whole routine may come as a shock to diners, but the biggest surprise comes in the comments. She's far from the only waitress who relies on white lies to pay her bills, especially as America seems to be growing weary of the whole concept of tipping culture, with the average gratuity left at restaurants across the country in 2024 coming in at 18.8%, per Toast data. 'I lied to a table the other day that I had to pick my kid up from school so they would leave (I don't have a kid),' revealed one like-minded server. 'Did I draw myself a 'best mom ever' card on Mother's Day with a crayon in my left hand and a backwards R and tape it to the outside of my server book so it was visible while taking orders? I can neither confirm nor deny…' a particularly crafty confessor said. Kids aren't the only thing servers lie about for pity pennies, though. 'I had earrings of Robert Patterson, and I would tell old ladies he was my husband off at war,' read one bizarre submission. Some said they reverted to classic, tried-and-true tales to swindle their tables. 'When I would mess up, I used to always say I was new there.. I was 'new' for like 6 months straight,' admitted another. 'As a high school senior waiting tables, I'd drop the check with a college-branded pen so they'd ask if I was going there, and give them a sob story about student loans, LOL worked every time,' a bright young mind shared. Others in the comments wondered whether or not customers realized their servers were lying, while some simply didn't care. 'There's a thing called free will and a thing called a choice, and they don't have to tip if they don't want to,' one supporter wrote, clapping back at haters. Tipping has always been a hot-button issue for Americans, especially as new rules and regulations surrounding the topic, like mandatory gratuity and 'living wage fees,' have been unveiled, but as it stands right now, servers maintain that 'they gotta do what they gotta do,' as Parker said.

Beyoncé skips '16 Carriages,' flying car again Night 1 in D.C.: Are they permanently cut?
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered another dazzling performance during her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area, keeping safety at the forefront by once again cutting a hit song and signature flying car stunt from the show. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C. The concert marked Beyoncé's first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is also set to perform on July 7. During the Fourth of July show, Beyoncé once again skipped her single "16 Carriages" after she faced a technical mishap during her first concert in her hometown of Houston. During the H-Town opener, which took place at NRG stadium on June 28, Beyoncé was forced to pause the show because a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She told everyone to "stop" repeatedly before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. At the following Houston show, Beyoncé cut "16 Carriages" from the set list completely and avoided flying in the air in a car. During Thursday's show, fans wondered if she would bring back the song and the stunt. However, that question was soon answered. One fan wrote, "Yeah she's off that car for the rest of the tour, which means no more 16 Carriages? 😭💔" As fans know, Beyoncé first announced the eighth studio album in February 2024 during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, releasing singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." The tunes quickly gained popularity ahead of the album's full release March 29, 2024. It's unclear if Beyoncé will perform the song in any variation for the rest of the tour. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
