Chappell Roan Calls Out Fans' Exes at Primavera Sound (Including One Who ‘Hooked Up' With Their Ex's Mom)
At her headlining Primavera Sound set Saturday (June 7), the pop star took a break during a performance of her Billboard Hot 100 top 5 single 'The Giver' to draw slips of paper submitted by audience members out of a hat. 'Now, I asked some of you to give me the names of your exes, and why they didn't get the job done,' she explained into the microphone, as captured in a video shared on X.

The entries progressively got worse, with Roan leading the crowd in a loud round of booing after she read each one aloud. 'He only knew how to use his fingers to play video games,' she began. 'Boo!'
'Didn't wash his balls,' the visibly disgusted Grammy winner read from the second slip. 'Boo!'
When she glanced at the third entry, Roan remarked that she'd 'saved the worst for last.' 'Hooked up with my mom,' the paper read, causing the audience to audibly groan.
But the best/worst part came when the 'Pink Pony Club' singer revealed that the anonymous fan's mom and ex in question were both in attendance. 'They are all in the crowd tonight,' Roan read. 'Boo!'
After the exes were thoroughly shamed, the Missouri native moved back to center stage and continued with the rest of the performance. 'Well you should've asked me, baby — you know why?' Roan said before belting out the signature line in 'The Giver': ''Cause I get the job done!'
Roan was one of three festival headliners over the weekend, with Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx also taking the main stage at different points. During the British pop star's set, big screens captured Roan in the audience doing the viral 'Apple' dance.
This year's Primavera Sound comes a couple months after Roan dropped 'The Giver' in March, marking her first piece of new music since 'Good Luck, Babe!' dropped in 2024. The former debuted at No. 5 on the Hot 100, while the latter peaked at No. 4.
Fans are hopeful that Roan will release a new album soon. Originally released in 2023, her debut LP The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess steadily climbed the charts — peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 last August — following a whirlwind year of growth for the star in 2024.

Not So Fast: Cardi Seemingly Shuts Down Stefon Diggs Breakup Rumors With Workout Video
Source: Elsa / Getty On July 7, Cardi B sent the internet into speculation mode after eagle-eyed fans noticed that the rapper had swiped photos of her new boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, clean from her Instagram account, instantly sparking breakup rumors. While the reason is unclear, love isn't lost for the 32-year-old Grammy-winner and her NFL boo. As theories spiraled on social media, Cardi took to Instagram on July 8 to set the record straight. The mother of three reposted a video that captured her and the 31-year-old New England Patriots star working out together during an intense off-season training session in Europe, according to USA Today. Taken from Diggs' recent YouTube vlog titled 'Mental Reset,' the fun clip showed Cardi getting in a few chest flys with a resistance rope. Diggs cheered the Bronx native on from behind, shouting 'Okay, okay!' as she hit a few reps. A source close to the couple also called the breakup rumors a flat-out lie. During an interview with TMZ , the insider claimed that Cardi and Diggs haven't officially called it quits, despite the 'Bodak Yellow' rapper scrubbing all traces of their relationship from her Instagram. So, no cause for concern just yet. Rumors of the duo's romance began swirling in February, several months after Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in August 2024. The two were spotted together throughout the spring, including a high-profile outing at a Knicks playoff game in Madison Square Garden. They made their relationship Instagram-official in June. As previously reported, the adorable lovebirds' romance reached new and luxurious heights on June 24, when Cardi revealed that the NFL athlete had rented a full-blown castle for them to stay in as they traveled abroad in France. 'Why this man got us staying in a castle? I'm talking about a real castle,' the femcee told fans, panning the camera to show a massive brick castle in the background. 'Look at this. This is a real f—— castle!' The musician revealed that the wide receiver rented the lavish property after she mentioned she never had a chance to visit the Palace of Versailles while in Europe. Diggs didn't disappoint. The stunning estate featured a luxurious swimming pool, soaring arched ceilings with medieval-inspired details, and a massive dining room with a table big enough to seat over 15 guests. Total fairytale vibes. What do you think about Cardi dumping photos of Diggs off her Instagram? Is she preventing an Invasion Of Privacy, or is it a 'Warning Shot' that a breakup is imminent?

City of Gary to host two-day Jackson 5 celebration in August
A new two-day celebration in August will celebrate the legacy of the Jackson 5 in Gary and remind the community that 'world-changing talent' can rise from its own neighborhoods, a city news release announced this week. On Aug. 29 and 30, the city will host the 2300 Jackson Street Block Party at Roosevelt High School's campus. 'As Mayor of Gary, I'm proud to celebrate the enduring legacy of Michael Jackson and the entire Jackson family with this incredible homecoming event,' Mayor Eddie Melton said in a news release. 'The 2300 Jackson Street Block Party is more than a celebration — it's a tribute to the roots of greatness that started right here in our city. We honor the Jacksons not just for their global impact, but for the pride and inspiration they continue to give the people of Gary.' The celebration will start on Michael Jackson's birthday, Aug. 29, and will be hosted by actor and comedian Chris Tucker. Attendees will hear and see Michael Jackson's 'legendary music and films that continue to inspire generations worldwide.' On Aug. 30, Gary will honor the Jackson family and welcome Jackie and Marlon Jackson, who are both original members of the Jackson 5. The city will also recognize Tito Jackson, who died in September 2024. Tito Jackson was the third of nine Jackson children and was a background singer who played guitar in the band, according to Post-Tribune archives. Tito Jackson repeatedly returned to Gary and supported Melton's mayoral campaign, saying he would return the city to the vibrant community he grew up in. Grammy-award winning vocalist Deniece Williams will host the event on Aug. 30. Other performers will include rapper Freddie Gibbs, DJ Kid Capri and Edward Hollis, a nationally recognized Michael Jackson impersonator, according to the city. Jackie and Marlon Jackson both acknowledged in the release how important Gary is to their family, saying that the Jackson 5 got its start in the city. Marlon Jackson called it a blessing to return and celebrate with people who knew the family before its fame. 'Coming back to 2300 Jackson Street is always deeply emotional for me,' Jackie Jackson said. 'This is where it all started for the Jackson 5, and I have so many memories here. To see Gary celebrating our family's legacy and our roots in this very neighborhood means the world to us.' The celebration comes just about two months after a new mural of the Jackson 5 was installed in Gary. East Chicago artist Felix Maldonado painted the mural, which was sponsored by Karren and Pat Lee and Tom and Sylvia Collins. The mural is located on the north side of the Vogue Cleaners building at 610 S. Lake St. in the city's Miller neighborhood, according to Post-Tribune archives. The art replaces a previous one that was located on Lake Street and removed in 2018 because of deterioration. 'The Jackson family's music helped define a generation — and it all started right here in Gary,' Maldonado said in a news release. 'I wanted this new mural to feel alive, so that people can connect with the joy and pride this city feels for them. It's not just art — it's a celebration of legacy.'
