‘I shouldn't have gone': Jagmeet Singh apologizes after Drake calls him a ‘goof' for going to Kendrick Lamar's concert
Drake is apparently calling out former NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh after he was spotted at a Kendrick Lamar concert in Toronto amidst an ongoing feud between the two rappers.
The Toronto-born rapper posted a screenshot of his private messages with Singh on Sunday, where he appeared to call the politician 'a goof.'

Later in the day, Singh apologized for attending the concert in an Instagram story and explained he had gone to watch opener SZA perform, not Lamar.
'For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick,' Singh wrote in a public apology.
'I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it,' Singh wrote. 'I shouldn't have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted this city and [Canada]. For me, it'll always be Drake over Kendrick.'
Lamar stepped onto Drake's home turf on Thursday,
playing his first of two concerts at the Rogers Centre
since the rift between the music superstars intensified last year.
He performed some of his hits including 'Humble' and 'All the Stars' alongside SZA, but also played 'Not Like Us,' one of the most inflammatory diss tracks in his feud with Drake.
The song has led to a legal battle between Drake and the U.S. record label that represents both men. Drake is suing Universal Music Group for defamation for publishing and promoting 'Not Like Us.' In legal documents, he said the song's lyrics wrongly accuse him of being a pedophile, jeopardizing his safety and damaging his reputation. None of the allegations has been proven in court.

Sauce Gardner opens up on how LeBron James played role in him meeting Ice Spice
LeBron James, even if unintentionally, helped play the role of matchmaker for Sauce Gardner's rumored relationship with rapper Ice Spice, the Jets cornerback told TMZ. Gardner appeared on an April 2024 episode of 'The Shop' — a podcast featuring James — alongside rapper Travis Scott, former NFL wideout Chad Ochocinco and star Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez, and Gardner told the outlet he believes that's when the couple met in person for the first time. They seemingly became Instagram official just over one year later in a post shared by Ice Spice with her and Gardner posing in front of a bathroom mirror. Advertisement 3 Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner are pictured at the Knicks' game May 16. AP While Gardner told TMZ that he wasn't 'trying to speak too much on it' when approached in Los Angeles, he did acknowledge that he and the rapper are 'cool' — and proceeded to reveal a bit about their relationship. 'We just be having a good time,' Gardner told the outlet. 'Two young individuals, you know. She from New York. I play in New York. She talented, real talented, when it come to what she do. Same thing for me. Two people that get hated on that's really good at what we do, so we got a lot in common. We cool.' Advertisement 3 LeBron James is pictured at Fanatics Fest on June 21. Getty Images Before Ice Spice's post, the duo had been spotted out in public on different occasions, and Gardner appeared to tease the relationship earlier in April by sharing a photo on Instagram that showed them standing next to a car in New York City. When they attended a Knicks playoff game at the Garden in May, they received a loud ovation from fans in attendance as they watched the Knicks close out their second-round series against the Celtics. Gardner, 24, will enter the 2025 campaign off a rough season and is entering the last year of his rookie deal, but he still attended the Jets' mandatory minicamp instead of holding out, getting fined and attempting to make a contract statement.

Bill Kostroun/New York Post 'I just wanted to show my teammates and the coaches how much I'm bought into this,' Gardner told reporters on June 12. 'I want to win. I want to be a part of changing the organization.' He earned consecutive First-Team All-Pro appearances in his first two NFL seasons — as well as winning Defensive Rookie of the Year and securing a pair of Pro Bowl spots — but failed to even make the Pro Bowl last year.

Justin Bieber Shares Photos of Son Jack Sporting a Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey on a Family Vacation — and the Team Reacts
Justin Bieber's son Jack Blues wore a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey in several recent Instagram posts from the singer The Canadian musician is a longtime fan of the NHL team, who commented on one of the posts The photos of Jack, 10 months, come amid Justin's lakeside family vacation with his son and wife, Hailey BieberJustin Bieber's mini-me may not be able to walk yet, but he's already following in his dad's hockey-loving footsteps! After debuting a new Instagram username, the 'Love Yourself' singer, 31, shared a dozen posts on Friday, June 27, including several from his lakeside family vacation with wife Hailey Bieber and son Jack Blues. In some of the snaps, the musician revealed that the couple's 10-month-old already has a sporty side. In several different posts, the Canadian musician, who now goes by @lilbieber on Instagram, showed off Jack wearing a jersey for the Toronto Maple Leafs — his longtime team — from a series of different angles. Specifically, the little one repped Auston Matthews — a center and captain for the NHL team — with the baby-size jersey, which he paired with some baggy jeans and matching blue socks. Matthews acknowledged the support, commenting '💙,' on one of the singer's posts. The Maple Leafs also recognized the shout-out, writing, '💙💙💙,' in the comments of another carousel of photos of Jack. Another snap of the 10-month-old revealed that hockey is not the only sport the proud parents have introduced to Jack. In the photo, the little one sits next to a soccer ball in a field, wearing a blue and gray hoodie and looking away from the camera. Justin adorned the picture with a fairy emoji and captioned it, '🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️.' This is almost identical to Justin's captions for the other posts, and appears to be a nod to his viral moment telling paparazzi that he is "standing on business." He used the person standing emojis alongside every recent post he shared of Jack, which also included snaps of him smiling down at his son, who sat in a delivery box. Justin also shared a solo shot of Hailey, 28, and a photo of their son next to what appeared to be the Rhode founder's hands. In line with Hailey and Justin's ongoing decision to keep Jack's face off of social media, the father of one cropped all of the pictures of the jersey-wearing baby — or shared a snap of the back of his head — so his face was not visible. Justin and Hailey got married in September 2018. Six years later, in May 2024, they renewed their wedding vows in Hawaii and revealed that they were expecting their first child together.

Three months later, in August 2024, Jack was born. After his birth was announced, a source told PEOPLE that the new parents were 'both overjoyed.' 'The baby is such a miracle. He's adorable and doing well,' the source said at the time. 'The pregnancy was something that they very much wished and prayed for.' Read the original article on People

Katie Couric slams Lauren Sanchez's wedding style, calling it outdated and ‘tacky'
She was not impressed by the dress. Katie Couric slammed Lauren Sanchez's wedding style, bashing her gown and her hair in a scathing social media post. 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,' she penned. The former 'Today' show host left the rude remark on Jack Schlossberg's Instagram post on Friday, the day Sanchez married Bezos in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy. Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy, reposted Sanchez's Vogue cover — where the former journalist donned her long-sleeved, corseted Dolce & Gabbana lace gown that took some 900 hours to make — with the caption, 'Like I said … vogue.' 3 Katie Couric slammed Lauren Sanchez's wedding look, which made the cover of Vogue. Vogue Couric wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon, and an hour later, left the 'tacky' comment, to which Schlossberg replied, 'Let's bring back scrunchies,' a reference to the '80s hair accessory famously roasted on 'Sex and the City.' Others joined in on the attack, adding comments such as 'Spot on. Money can't buy you class' and 'Imagine being married to the one of richest men on the planet and still choosing a dress that's ugly as f—k.' 3 The former 'Today' host took to Instagram to call Sanchez's look 'tacky.' Getty Images for The Women's Media Center Some did defend the new bride's looks, however, and called for an end to the mean girl comments. 'I think she looks gorgeous, the dress is stunning and a surprise. Everyone leave her alone. Let her be happy,' one said. 'If the dress made her feel good on her day that's a beautiful thing,' another added. 3 Sanchez married Jeff Bezos in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice, Italy. @laurensanchezbezos via REUTERS Others turned on Couric and her unnecessarily rude comment. 'I'm reading that many women say Lauren Sánchez Bezos lacks 'class.' Those same critics also lack 'class,' because an educated, intelligent, respectful, or rather, classy person doesn't go around criticizing or making fun of other people,' one scolded. Another pointed out that Couric may be lashing out because she feels slighted since she didn't make the wedding's star-studded guest list. 'I'm guessing you aren't invited, Katie lol,' they quipped.
