Dua Lipa steals the show with surprise duet… and it's not who you think
The two were filmed singing together in a short clip that quickly spread across Reddit and X, with fans praising their touching chemistry and family bond. While Dua's talent has never been questioned, many were surprised by how comfortable, and vocally capable, her father appeared on stage. Dukagjin, a former rock musician and co-founder of the Sunnyhill Foundation, looked right at home next to his Grammy-winning daughter.
The Sunnyhill Festival, now in its fourth year, was founded by the Lipa family as both a cultural celebration and a platform for Albanian artists. But with this father-daughter performance, it took on a much more intimate tone.
Fans online were divided. Some gushed over the heartwarming family moment, while others questioned whether Dukagjin might be eyeing a comeback. 'Dua Lipa just soft-launched her dad's singing career and I'm not mad about it,' joked one Reddit user. Another quipped, 'Is he the new Zaddy of Kosovo?'
There's no word yet if the duet will be officially released, but fans are already demanding a full-length collab. Whether it was a one-time sentimental gesture or a teaser for more, the Lipas have once again proven they know how to keep us watching and talking.

Markiplier addresses AI backlash, clarifies stance in livestream and explains AI thumbnail incident
YouTuber Markiplier has addressed growing criticism surrounding his use and commentary on artificial intelligence, following recent controversy within his online community. In a livestream, he responded to concerns about his podcast's usage of ChatGPT, an AI-generated image in a thumbnail, and AI-related moderation on his subreddit. Markiplier stated that his previous comments on generative AI were jokes made to highlight its risks, not endorsements. 'There are reasons to be critical of [AI] the way that it currently is,' he said. 'It's a problem when used without safeguards or proper oversight.' He added that his interest in AI was primarily driven by a desire to inform audiences about the technology's potential dangers. 'There isn't this need to be so scared of [AI], but there is a need to be aware of what you're afraid of,' he explained. Markiplier also clarified that the AI-generated thumbnail in question was a stock image unknowingly used by his editor. In a Reddit post, he wrote that such images are now common on stock photo websites, often replacing real photography. Further addressing the issue, he explained that AI discussions were restricted on his subreddit due to escalating hostility and threats toward him and his moderators, not to suppress dissent. He reaffirmed his opposition by pointing to subreddit rules that prohibit posting AI-generated content. Markiplier also spoke about his support for Real Good AI, a foundation focused on developing AI tools for positive human applications. He concluded by reiterating the importance of creativity: 'There's still value in pursuing artistic endeavours. There always will be as long as we're human.'

Doechii declares ‘Free Palestine' during Osheaga set, sparking viral reaction
American rapper and singer Doechii made headlines during her performance at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Montréal after voicing support for Palestine onstage. The moment occurred mid-set when she paused to address the crowd, saying, 'Y'all can't be scared to stand up for what you believe in. You can't be scared to say what matters. Free Palestine.' A 19-second clip of the statement quickly circulated across social media platforms, including Reddit, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), where it drew significant attention. Many commenters expressed support for her message, while others debated the broader implications of entertainers addressing geopolitical issues during performances. This marks one of the first major political statements from Doechii during a live event. Although she has not posted further comments on her own social media channels, the clip has been widely reshared by fan pages and political accounts alike. As of now, no public reaction has been issued by Osheaga organisers or Doechii's representatives. Her remarks come amid heightened global attention on the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Over the past year, artists and public figures have faced growing calls to take positions on the Israel-Palestine conflict, with responses ranging from full-throated support to public neutrality. Reactions have often led to online fallout, professional consequences, or, in some cases, further public discourse. At the time of reporting, Doechii's festival performance has not been removed or altered on any official platforms. Her comment remains available through fan-recorded clips, which continue to generate discussion across music, political, and pop culture communities online.
