'What Did I Miss?'
on July 4, 2025. Her Instagram Story included a screenshot of a line from the song and just five words:

Fans were quick to link her post to the more profound meaning of Drake's lyrics, which address trust and betrayal problems. But that's not the only headline Deja Kelly wrote in the previous few weeks.

'What Did I Miss?'
during his ICEMAN EPISODE ONE livestream on YouTube. He formally made the complete song public on July 4 across sites. Likely connected to his public spat with

, the song addresses personal betrayal.
Twenty-three-year-old Deja Kelly wrote on her Instagram Story the same day a line from the song:
'This mf don't miss.'
The line she shared was part of a verse that seemed to hit home for her.
Fans began wondering if she related to the message because of something going on in her personal life. While she didn't explain her post, the timing made it stand out.

Apoorva Mukhija feels Khushi Kapoor handled negative feedback for Nadaaniyan with grace and maturity: 'People are really harsh with nepo babies'

Content creator and actor Apoorva Mukhija, better known as The Rebel Kid, is steadily carving her space in the entertainment world, from appearing on reality shows like The Traitors to starring in Dharma Productions' Nadaaniyan. In a recent interview, she reflected on her experience working with Khushi Kapoor and addressed the comparisons that followed their debut. 'Khushi works hard for it, she deserves it' Speaking about her co-star, Apoorva had nothing but admiration for Khushi Kapoor. 'Khushi is one of the sweetest people I have met. She has an insane work ethic,' she told Screen. According to Apoorva, Khushi's quiet drive was visible from the beginning. 'Even when we were speaking on the sets of Nadaaniyan, she was like, 'I hope people start taking me seriously after this film.' There are people who really want something; she is one of those people, and I am sure there are great things coming up for her. She deserves it; she works hard for it.' 'She'd shoot for 16 hours and still go to the gym' Apoorva recalled their long shooting hours and how Khushi remained focused throughout. 'We used to shoot for 14–16 hours, and she used to still go to the gym; that's commendable. What I picked up from her was work ethic,' she noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Though Nadaaniyan received a mixed response from audiences, Apoorva feels Khushi handled the feedback with grace and maturity.

'I think it's a bias more than anything else. Khushi did great work in the film. People are really harsh with nepo babies in general,' she said. 'I don't think we need to put down somebody else to make another one feel better. It can be done without comparison. Apoorva did great acting, I appreciate the compliments, but the comments about how I performed better than her... we don't need to do all this.' Friendship with Ibrahim Ali Khan and Bigg Boss buzz On her bond with Ibrahim Ali Khan, who has also been in the spotlight recently, she revealed, 'Ibrahim and I have met quite a lot, and we chill often.' While Nadaaniyan may not have set the box office on fire, if the industry buzz is true, fans might just see Apoorva next in a brand-new avatar on Bigg Boss 19.

Gamble pays off! Ravindra Jadeja's under-100-second trick traps Ben Stokes at Edgbaston

Ravindra Jadeja and Shubman Gill (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Experience counts — especially when a seasoned player knows how to control the tempo in high-pressure situations. On the final day of the second Test at Edgbaston, with India chasing a historic win, one such subtle but crucial moment played out during the morning session. India were looking to break the partnership between Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith when Ravindra Jadeja was handed the ball for the final over before lunch. He had a brief discussion with captain Shubman Gill, and then cleverly bowled his six deliveries in under 100 seconds, not allowing Smith any time to settle at the crease. The rapid over meant that India had time for one more before the lunch break. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Seemingly as per plan, Gill tossed the ball to Washington Sundar for the bonus over — a calculated gamble that paid off immediately. On the final delivery before lunch, Sundar removed England captain Ben Stokes, dealing a massive blow to the hosts. Stokes' dismissal left England reeling at 153/6, with India needing just four more wickets to seal their first-ever Test win at Edgbaston. After the wicket, Jadeja was seen high-fiving an ecstatic Gill — a moment that summed up the planning and execution behind the dismissal.

Prasidh Krishna opened the bowling with Akash Deep, who stood out in the morning session. For the first time in the high-scoring Test, the pitch showed signs of wear, and Akash Deep extracted sharp seam movement off the surface. Surprisingly, Mohammed Siraj did not share the new ball with him. Akash Deep struck in his second over, cleaning up Ollie Pope as the batter chopped on. In his very next over, he sent down a vicious nip-backer that hit a crack and trapped Harry Brook lbw — a near-unplayable delivery that left England rattled. With that spell, Akash Deep likely sealed his place for the Lord's Test, showcasing masterful control with the new ball. Krishna didn't take a wicket but played a valuable holding role from the other end. India Dominate Day 4! Siraj & Akash Deep Rattle England Jadeja was brought into the attack after the first hour and immediately started troubling the batters with turn from the rough. Unlike Headingley, Jadeja reduced his pace and extracted more spin — a smart tactical tweak. Both Stokes and Smith were tested, but the England captain managed to score some vital runs, hitting four boundaries off Siraj, including a classy pull and an extra cover drive. Realising the futility of defending endlessly, Stokes resorted to sweeping Jadeja. However, just as England seemed to be building a stand, Sundar's final over before lunch turned the momentum firmly back in India's favour. Heading into Day 5, only two results were on the cards: an India win or a rain-assisted draw. England, who have drawn just one Test in the last three years, seemed to have abandoned any hopes of chasing the massive target. Now, with only four wickets standing and momentum on India's side, a historic Edgbaston victory — and a series-levelling result — is within touching distance.

NFL star Dak Prescott is quietly facing the biggest career reckoning of his Cowboys era

Dak Prescott faces his most critical NFL season yet (Image credits: Imagn Images) Dak Prescott begins his 10th NFL season carrying both a fresh four-year extension and the burden of unmet expectations in Dallas. While his contract runs through 2028, the calls for postseason success are louder than ever. In the eyes of many fans and analysts, the window is now — and the excuses are gone. For the Cowboys, it's no longer about potential, but delivery. Criticism builds despite contract and consistency One thing is that Dak Prescott always receives excessive criticism as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and another that he is on the hot seat for the 2025 NFL season. Prescott's numbers speak for themselves — a reliable passer, a steady leader, and a consistent winner in the regular season. But in Dallas, none of that matters without January results. With every early playoff exit, the pressure intensifies. Critics now question not just his performance, but his ceiling. Dak Prescott should be a success story in the same vein as Tony Romo, as he went from being a mid-round pick to the highest-paid player in the league, yet he is still criticized more than almost anyone else in the NFL and this is shown by his inclusion in the list of quarterbacks on the hot seat 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo His path is remarkable, but the shadow of postseason failure continues to follow him. Dallas is a market where patience runs thin and legacies are measured in rings. No matter how strong the regular season looks, the bar is always raised when the playoffs begin. 2025: defining moment or unfair narrative? Dak Prescott's inclusion on the list of quarterbacks who are considered to be on the hot seat for the 2025 NFL season seems extreme, but it is based on the following aspects related to the Cowboys quarterback.
