Tyrese (pictured left with Anthony Edwards) never tried to assimilate into the black community because that’s not his life experience.

Tyrese clarified a viral video that shows him in a car with a group of white women. He explained the women were his fiancée’s sister and her friends.

“So, people killing me. I’m like, these are just our people from growing up,” he said.

Instagram influencer Klaudia Zakrzewska, aka “Klaudiaglam,” died Monday, April 20, after being run over by a fellow influencer during a fight over a man.

Klaudia, who boasted over 260,000 followers on Instagram, previously threatened to kill someone in Instagram posts.

Cell phone videos of the fight in London went viral on Monday. The video shows the Kim Kardashian look-a-like fighting with two women outside a nightclub in Central London.

After being separated by friends, the other woman got into a car. Bystanders screamed, “She’s going to run her over!” The car lurched forward and turned left, running over Klaudia and 2 others.

The car reversed over Klaudia before the driver jumped out and appeared to slap at the gravely injured woman lying on the ground.

Klaudia was listed in critical condition at a hospital, but she has since passed away.

Additionally, a 50-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman were hospitalized with life-threatening and minor injuries, respectively.

A 29-year-old woman was arrested and charged with murder, grievous bodily harm, wreckless driving, and drunk driving.

Bloggers identified the driver as Gabrielle Carrington, aka RielleUK (pictured). She made her first court appearance on Tuesday, April 21.

Carrington was a member of a girl group that appeared on the reality TV show “X Factor” in 2013.

“As our inquiries continue, our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones,” DCI Alison Foxwell, of the Metropolitan Police, said in a statement. “While this incident took place in the early hours of the morning, venues in the area were still open, and we believe a number of people will have seen what happened.”

His mom, Colleen Burke (far left), father, Dawud Burke, and his little sister prayed with him backstage before the concert.

In the audio, Celeste is heard saying, “So, I got a question. Why don’t you hold my hands anymore?”

D4vd responded: “Ah here we go again bruh!”

Celeste said, “Nah, I’m so serious. I’m so serious.”

Later in the audio, D4vd asked her, “Why do you think we met?”

Celeste responded:

“Well, I think, personally, have you ever heard of the invisible string theory? Exactly that. So basically, we met because we were supposed to meet… And we’re connected because we’re supposed to be connected. It’s kind of like, I loved you before I existed and I’ll love you even when I die. Yeah… but, it’s like, it’s weird, it’s strange, it’s unpredictable. So, don’t leave me.”

Listen to the audio:

In videos recorded at the Houston show, D4vd is seen crying as he sings his song “Afterlife,” featuring the lyrics: “I love you from the afterlife.”

D4vd was arrested on Tuesday, April 14, and charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, committing crime for financial gain and murdering the witness in an investigation.

D4vd is also charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a minor person under 14 and mutilating a body.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Celeste was killed because she threatened to expose their illegal relationship.

D4vd made his first court appearance on Monday, April 20. A judge denied his request for bail.

Blair Berk, D4vd’s high-powered attorney said her client is innocent of all charges.

The judge granted Berk’s request for a preliminary hearing in 10 days. Berk asked the prosecutor to present all evidence and witnesses at the preliminary hearing.

The judge could dismiss the case against D4vd if the prosecutor doesn’t present the evidence and witnesses at the preliminary hearing.

Pro-Trump influencers are flooding social media ahead of the midterm elections. Hundreds of AI-generated influencers are flooding TikTok, expressing support for President Donald Trump.

According to The New York Times, the AI-generated accounts portray young American voters and influencers who have hundreds of thousands of followers.

One fake influencer’s videos boast over a million views.

In one TikTok video, a blonde films herself with a group of supporters at a rally. “If this offends you – good – keep scrolling. But if you voted for Trump, you got yourself a new follower from Texas,” she says.

@amandamagagirly What state do you support trump from? #trump #trumpsupporters #maga ? original sound – amandamagagirly

In another video, a brunette says, “If you support Trump, you just made a friend.”

In a third video, a redhead tells a group at a basketball court, “If you support Trump, you just made a friend.”

The messaging is the same in a majority of the videos: beautiful women expressing their support for Trump.

Democrats wonder who is creating these AI influencers and if the White House is somehow involved.

Some of the accounts feature AI-generated videos, while others use stolen profile photos. The accounts appear authentic while promoting pro-Trump political messaging.

“This is an increasingly prevalent strategy for winning online attention,” experts told The Washington Post.

Detection tools are struggling to keep pace as hundreds of AI-generated accounts are created every week.

The pro-Trump AI influencers seemed to pop up after TikTok was sold to Oracle, which is majority owned by billionaire (and Trump’s close friend) Larry Ellison.

There are rumors that Ellison is a “shadow president of the United States.”

Singer D4vd (born David Burke) pleaded not guilty during an arraignment hearing in the downtown Los Angeles courthouse on Monday.

The courthouse was cleared by a bomb squad after someone called in a bomb threat. D4vd was brought into court wearing a black hoodie. He pled not guilty.

The judge denied his request for a bond, but granted his lawyer’s request for a preliminary hearing within 10 days.

His legal team also requested the prosecutor’s office provide witnesses for questioning and evidence within 10 days.

The judge could dismiss the case outright if the D.A.’s office doesn’t have the witnesses and evidence ready in that time.

D4vd is being held without bond at the 77th Street Station Jail. His official mugshot was posted on the jail’s website on Monday.

During a press conference on Monday morning, the L.A. district attorney announced D4vd is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

The charges include the special circumstances of lying in wait, committing the crime for financial gain, and murdering a witness to an investigation. He is also charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a minor person under 14 and mutilating a body.

Prosecutors said D4vd did unlawfully engage in three or more acts of “substantial sexual conduct” with the then-12-year-old minor in 2023 and 2024. He allegedly killed her when she threatened to expose their relationship.

The D.A. said D4vd killed Celeste with a “sharp instrument” on April 23, 2025, and mutilated her body on May 5, 2025. She was placed in 2 bags in the trunk of a 2023 Tesla Y registered to D4vd.

The car was parked around the corner from D4vd’s rental house in the Hollywood Hills.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down after 15 years. He will remain the chief executive at Apple until September 1.

In a news release on Monday, April 20, Apple named John Ternus as the new CEO to replace Cook.

Ternus (right) was formerly Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering.

“I am profoundly grateful for this opportunity to carry Apple’s mission forward,” Ternus said in the news release.

Ternus, 50, has worked at Apple since 2001.

Cook, 65, joined Apple in 1998 and worked as chief operating officer under Steve Jobs who died from pancreatic cancer in 2011.

“I love Apple with all of my being, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a team of such ingenious, innovative, creative, and deeply caring people,” Cook said in the news release.

During Cook’s tenure, Apple launched multiple successful products, but he hesitated to develop artificial intelligence products. He delayed the rollout of a more intelligent AI-powered Siri multiple times.

Cook opted instead to partner with Google to use its Gemini AI models to enhance Siri and other Apple Intelligence features.

Late last year, Apple’s artificial intelligence chief left the company.

FBI Director Kash Patel made good on his promise to sue The Atlantic magazine for accusing him of being the town drunk.

Patel filed the lawsuit on Monday morning in US District Court in Washington, D.C, seeking $250 million in damages.

The Atlantic published a bombshell article on Friday alleging Patel has a drinking problem.

The article, titled “The FBI Director Is MIA,” claims Secret Secret once used “breaching equipment” to break down a locked door when Patel didn’t respond to phone calls after a night of heavy drinking.

During one alleged incident on April 10, Patel “struggled to log on to an internal computer system.” Believing he was intentionally locked out of the computer system, “he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a ‘freak-out.'”

The White House “fielded calls from the bureau and from members of Congress asking who was now in charge of the FBI,” according to The Atlantic.

The White House eventually confirmed Patel had not been fired and that he was still the director of the FBI.

Patel was among the officials expected to be fired by President Donald Trump after Attorney General Pam Bondi was dismissed on April 2.

In a follow-up post on X, Patel wrote: “Memo to the fake news – the only time I’ll ever actually be concerned about the hit piece lies you write about me will be when you stop. Keep talking, it means I’m doing exactly what I should be doing.”

During an appearance on “The Briefing with Jen Psaki,” Fitzpatrick said, “I stand by every word of this reporting.”

D4vd has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He was arrested at a rental home formerly owned by Sandra Bullock in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday, April 14.

On September 8, 2025, Celeste’s dismembered remains were found in 2 trash bags in the front trunk of a 2023 Tesla Y registered to D4vd. The car was parked around the corner and down the street from D4vd’s rental house in the Hollywood Hills.

It had been towed from the upscale neighborhood because police suspected it was stolen or abandoned. The grisly discovery was made at the tow yard after a worker detected a foul odor.

Celeste was reported missing by her family in 2024, when she was 13.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman called the case “a parent’s nightmare” and said Celeste was last heard from on April 23, 2025. She was classified as a runaway.

“Celeste, a 14-year-old at that time, went to Mr. D4vd’s house in the Hollywood Hills. She was never heard from again,” Hochman said at Monday’s press conference.

Hochman said Celeste’s arms and legs were severed from her torso and placed in one trash bag. Her head and torso were placed in another bag and stuffed into the Tesla trunk.

The murder charges against D4vd (born David Burke) include special circumstances (lying in wait) committing crime for financial gain and murdering the witness in an investigation. The singer faces the death penalty if convicted on all charges.

D4vd is also charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a minor person under 14 and mutilating a body.

The 21-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer is being held in the LA County Men’s Central jail without bond.

Blair Berk, D4vd’s high-powered attorney said her client is innocent of all charges.

“Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” she said in a statement on Thursday.

His legal team said they “will vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

D4vd was named as a suspect in the case in November 2025.

The weight of the evidence pointed to D4vd, who allegedly groomed Celeste on Roblox when she was only 12 years old.

In a bizarre twist, the LAPD reportedly investigated a rumor that D4vd mixed the dead teenager’s blood in red paint for his bloody shirt tour merchandise.

The button-down shirts splattered with fake blood were sold for $35 on his official site.

In a live-stream video, David is seen in the same living room holding the type of knife used by hunters to skin animals.

He abruptly removed the bloody shirts from his website days before the FBI executed a search warrant at his $20,000 a month rental property in the Hollywood Hills.

According to reports, authorities contacted fans who purchased the bloody shirts to test the merchandise for forensic evidence.

There are also rumors that Celeste’s remains were chopped up and stored in a freezer for weeks or months until D4vd went on tour on August 31, 2025.

D4vd and Celeste were allegedly involved in a 3-year relationship that began when she was 12 and he was 18.

The case took a turn when D4vd’s alleged boyfriend, Neo Langston was arrested and forced to testify before a grand jury earlier this year.

Investigators believe Neo is the man seen near the Tesla when it was parked for the final time before being towed by police in September.

No other arrests have been made.
