'All I Can Take' quickly drew attention online, with listeners highlighting a noticeable evolution in Bieber's vocal delivery and overall production style.

WHY DOES JUSTIN BIEBER SOUND LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON ON ALL I CAN TAKE ?#SWAG pic.twitter.com/cFO5nOQiuF — MUSIC MOOSE (@MusicMooseent) July 11, 2025
While Bieber has not cited Jackson as a direct influence, many users pointed to similarities in tone, phrasing, and rhythmic structure.
The album title SWAG also sparked conversation online. A word long associated with Bieber's teen-era persona, it stands in contrast to the refined and introspective sound presented on 'All I Can Take.'
Listeners noted the shift, observing that the music reflects a more mature artistic direction than the playful title might initially suggest.

Nicki Minaj denies broke rumors, flaunts new mansion and $200M Tidal dispute with Jay-Z
Nicki Minaj is silencing critics who questioned her finances by flexing her luxury lifestyle and reigniting her feud with Jay-Z. The rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to refute claims that she's broke, following speculation surrounding her recent online attacks aimed at Jay-Z and Roc Nation. Minaj claimed she's in the process of purchasing a third mansion in just two years, adding that she's been buying property for others for over 15 years. 'Catch up ugly,' she wrote to her critics. She also revealed that she recently acquired a pink private jet, adding, 'Entry is for fly Barbz only.' Just bought my first jet. It's all pink. Come on losers get in! Sike. Fly Barbz only. — Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) July 11, 2025 This online flex came after Minaj accused Jay-Z of owing her $200 million from the 2021 sale of Tidal to Square Inc., fueling rumors that financial issues prompted her outbursts. But Minaj insists she's far from struggling. 'If tmrw I wake up & want maybe 20-30MM, all I have to do is hand in my album… Then I'd tour again & gross over a hunnit,' she wrote. Minaj's comments come as Jay-Z appeared unbothered, attending the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey and posting photos with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior. Fans online pointed out the contrast, with one user commenting, 'Mr. Carter is living his best life while Nicki is having a meltdown.' Despite the backlash, Minaj continues to double down, asserting her dominance in the industry and her financial independence. As her Pink Friday 2 World Tour continues to generate buzz, Minaj's latest posts serve as both a clapback and a power move.

How Hailey Bieber shaped Justin Bieber's ‘Swag' album amid split rumors
Justin Bieber shocked fans with the surprise release of his seventh studio album, Swag, on July 11, 2025—his first since 2021. The album arrives amid swirling rumors about his marriage to Hailey Bieber, their new baby, and his split from longtime manager Scooter Braun. According to sources close to the couple, Hailey had a major role behind the scenes of Swag, helping shape what insiders are calling Justin's 'most creatively free' album yet. While many headlines in the past year focused on tension in their marriage, a source told People that Hailey was deeply involved during the album's creation. 'Everyone knows Justin as a performer. They now get to know the artist Hailey has always known,' the insider said. The couple recently welcomed their son, Jack Blues, making Swag a milestone in both their personal and professional lives. Hailey reportedly encouraged Justin to trust his instincts and speak his truth. The emotional track 'WALKING AWAY,' which directly addresses marital struggles with lyrics about 'growing pains' and promises not to leave, has sparked speculation about their relationship status. Yet sources emphasize Hailey's unwavering support. Beyond personal lyrics, the album also features Justin sampling viral moments like his 'standing on business' paparazzi quote, giving Swag both cultural weight and emotional depth. With features from Sexyy Red, Druski, and Dijon, and praise from critics like Rolling Stone, Swag is a bold new chapter—both musically and personally—for Justin Bieber.

Marc Márquez celebrates German MotoGP win with viral Indonesian 'aura farming' dance
Spanish MotoGP champion Marc Márquez set social media alight this weekend — not just for his performance on the track, but for his post-race celebration. After clinching a sensational victory at the German Grand Prix, Márquez was seen performing the viral 'aura farming' dance, a gesture that has captured global attention for its flamboyant, anime-like energy moves. The viral dance traces back to Pacu Jalur, a traditional boat race in Sumatra, Indonesia. During these races, young performers — often referred to as 'boat kids' — dance dramatically at the prow of the longboats to motivate rowers. Footage of one such dancer went viral earlier this summer, earning the nickname 'aura farming' across platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), due to the spiritual, power-charging appearance of the gestures. Although Márquez's version of the dance wasn't performed on a boat but on his motorcylcle, fans immediately recognized the influence. Clips of the MotoGP star waving his arms and mimicking the iconic moves during his post-race celebrations in Saxony flooded Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.
