Lil Baby reveals visible thigh tattoos after previously avoiding ink, sparks viral reactions online
The rapper shared a series of images on Instagram with the caption, 'Back in that mode.' Fans quickly spotted large tattoos reading ''90s' and 'Baby' on his right and left thighs, respectively. Another tattoo, 'CBFW,' is visible running down his lower left leg, first seen in an earlier post.
The tattoos have caused buzz, largely because Lil Baby has previously expressed strong views against body art.
In a 2020 interview with The New York Times, he explained, 'That's why I ain't got no tattoos, because I always knew I was going to run my money up, and I was going to have to go sit in front of some people to do something with my money. And I didn't want them to look at me like a dope boy.'
This isn't the first time he's stirred attention over tattoos. In 2023, Lil Baby was seen with arm tattoos that turned out to be temporary, worn during a video shoot. He explained at the time, 'These fake tattoos don't wash off easily, and I just went to the meeting and really didn't even realize they were still there.'
Now, with these new, unmistakably permanent tattoos, the rapper seems more comfortable embracing body art. With the international leg of his WHAM tour set to begin in September, Lil Baby appears unconcerned about how his image may be perceived.

Sofia Vergara shares update following second medical procedure
Sofía Vergara, best known for her role on Modern Family, has undergone her second knee surgery, nearly one year after her initial procedure in April 2024. The actress shared the news via Instagram on July 25, posting two images, one of herself smiling in a hospital gown and another showing her bandaged knee in a grey brace, captioned simply. Vergara did not disclose the medical specifics of either surgery. Her previous operation occurred in spring 2024, during which she documented her recovery journey with social media updates. Since then, Vergara and Saliman have parted ways. As of January 2025, she has signaled single status in public appearances. The actor's knee troubles also impacted her role as a judge on America's Got Talent last summer. Photos from backstage showed Vergara using assistance as she walked, while co-judge Howie Mandel gifted her a pogo-stick, style recovery device as a lighthearted gesture amid her mobility issues. Although she continues to fulfill professional obligations, including appearances on AGT and her Netflix series Griselda, Vergara is currently resting and focusing on recovery. At the time, she has not announced any change to her upcoming schedule.

Taylor Swift endorses Happy Gilmore 2 after Travis Kelce's hilarious cameo
Taylor Swift is raving about Happy Gilmore 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 golf comedy classic, starring Adam Sandler. The film, which dropped on Netflix July 25, features a surprise appearance by Swift's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce — and the pop icon is calling it a must-watch. In an Instagram Story posted, Swift shared the film's poster and wrote, 'Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must-watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible 🍯.' Kelce's cameo has quickly become a fan favorite. He plays a restaurant manager who bullies his subordinate Oscar, played by Bad Bunny. One of the most talked-about scenes is a surreal fantasy sequence where Bad Bunny smothers honey on a half-naked Kelce, tied to a post, before he's left to be devoured by a bear. Kelce also appears in another chaotic scene where he chest-bumps golfers Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa through a table. The movie endorsement came just one day after Kelce hard-launched their two-year relationship with a romantic Instagram photo dump, showing moments from their offseason together — including ice skating, boating, and karaoke nights. Although director Adam Sandler said they didn't want to 'bother Taylor' with a cameo offer, he called her a global gift: 'She's done a lot for our planet, so we love her.' With her 13/10 review, Swift has once again proven her influence — and her support for Kelce's big-screen debut.

Is Taylor Swift engaged? Travis Kelce's lock screen photo sends fans into a frenzy
Taylor Swift has once again sent the internet into a frenzy—this time over a possible engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. Fans are speculating that the pop superstar might be engaged after a photo from Kelce's recent Instagram post hinted at a major relationship milestone. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared a carousel of pictures from the couple's offseason adventures—marking the first time Swift has appeared on his Instagram feed. While the series of images highlighted their close bond, one blurry snap caught eagle-eyed fans' attention. In the phone wallpaper image, Taylor appears to hold up her hand, possibly revealing a ring on her finger. Fans quickly began analyzing the photo, with comments like, "Is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged?" and "I did zoom into his lockscreen." Adding fuel to the rumors, Swifties also noticed that Taylor's own phone lock screen appears to show a photo of the couple from their romantic Lake Como trip in May 2024. The couple, together for nearly two years, have reportedly received blessings from Swift's parents. Last month, speculation reached new heights when the pair was addressed as 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' on a wedding invitation—raising questions about whether they had already tied the knot. However, sources told TMZ that Taylor and Travis are not engaged, clarifying that Taylor is actually wearing Travis' three Super Bowl rings—not an engagement ring. While neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed the engagement, fans remain convinced that the couple's love story is reaching the next level. Whether it's just a shared lock screen or something more, the Swiftie detective work is in full swing.
