Jack Osbourne takes message to Capitol Hill: Celebrities need to 'keep their mouth shut' about politics

Jack Osbourne made it clear that he has no desire to chat about politics with the paparazzi.

Osbourne was spotted at the Capitol with his mother, Sharon, on Friday as they honored his late father, Ozzy, who passed away in 2025. As he was about to leave, the 40-year old was approached by a reporter eager to get his take on current events.

'Then be a politician, don't be an entertainer.'

Osbourne immediately shut down the conversation

"You know what, I think celebrities just need to keep their mouth shut," the Brit-American said.

'Entertain the people'

In case it wasn't clear, Osbourne put it more succinctly into an order of operations for celebrities: "Make entertainment, entertain the people, shut the f**k up."

The Aussie reporter persisted, asking why Osbourne didn't think he should use his platform to get across a "big opinion" that could "change hearts and minds."

Osbourne's simple response? If that's what you want, "Be a politician, don't be an entertainer."

Trump 'Train'

Osbourne clearly takes after his cantankerous old man. While the elder Osbourne criticized the war in Iraq under the George W. Bush administration and spoke out against his native UK's decision to leave the European Union, for the most part he focused on his showbiz career.

Even after the former Black Sabbath frontman asked the Trump campaign to stop using his song "Crazy Train" at rallies, the two remained on good terms, with the president leaving the family a condolence voicemail after the singer's death last July.

The Osbournes told TMZ they were on Capitol Hill because Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz (R) had entered Ozzy Osbourne's biography into the Congressional Record.

Spartz shared her "deepest sympathies" with the family last year, calling Ozzy a "true pioneer of heavy metal and an enduring symbol of the rebellious, freedom-loving spirit that resonates across our nation and throughout the world."

Fed up

Along with ruling out a future in politics, Osbourne noted that he and his mother had a "beautiful day" in D.C.

He added, "It made us miss [my father]. He would have loved it. He would have been truly honored to be a part of this today."

Osbourne is part of a growing trend of celebrities who want very little to do with politics. This includes rocker Gene Simmons, who had nearly exactly the same message as Osbourne in March when he told liberal celebrities to "'shut the f**k up."

In fact, actor Jamie Kennedy shared similar sentiments when speaking with Osbourne on his podcast in February, when he criticized woke celebrities for calling the United States fascist.

The Sheep Detectives Is Good, Clean Fun With An Accidental Christian Message

It was refreshing to watch a children’s movie that not only avoided inappropriate messaging but also mirrored Christian themes.

6 movies that warned us about AI

“Come with me if you want to live …”

That line from 1991’s “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” proved ironic in more ways than one.

Author Glenn Reynolds begins his new book, 'Seductive AI,' by citing this forgotten thriller.

A T-800 robot (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) tries to protect Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) from the looming AI revolution. They both know humanity’s survival depends on her son living long enough to lead the human resistance.

The “Terminator” franchise remains Hollywood’s biggest red flag against the rise of AI. The all-powerful Skynet future is coming, and humanity may crumble as a result.

Wait … is that on screen or off?

The “Terminator” franchise isn’t the only time Hollywood warned us what could happen if we let AI grow unchecked. The following films offered their own predictions on how computer-generated intelligence could bring society to its knees — or simply leave us so disconnected that we don’t even bother with fellow humans.

Looking back, these disparate films have become scarier than Freddy, Jason, or Art the Clown … combined.

'Her' (2013)

- YouTube

Who wouldn’t fall in love with an AI software that sounded like Scarlett Johansson? This sci-fi parable stars Joaquin Phoenix as a lonely soul on the cusp of divorce. He decides to give his computer’s operating system a female voice (Johansson), and the two begin a digital courtship.

Naturally, the main character’s love life suffers as a result. He feels increasingly comfortable confiding in “Samantha,” even though she’s not flesh and blood.

“Her” underwhelmed at the box office, but its prescient look at computer-based romance has taken on an ominous tone given recent headlines.

'Ex Machina' (2015)

- YouTube

A computer programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) wins the chance to spend a week with a scientist (Oscar Isaac) who has created a near-perfect AI robot named Ava (Alicia Vikander). The programmer’s task? Determine if he can tell if the robot is real or synthetic by challenging it to the best of his abilities. What neither man realizes is that Ava has a surprise or two in store, using the unsuspecting humans for her own selfish purposes.

Wait, robots can be selfish?

The film’s minimalist effects proved sublime (and Oscar-winning), but the sophisticated storytelling is the main attraction. Once more, artificial humans pose a genuine threat to our species, at least on a small but significant scale. That leaves us vulnerable to our baser instincts.

Paramount Pictures

'M3GAN' (2022)

- YouTube

This slick horror-comedy has the perfect solution for a young girl dealing with the loss of her parents. At least on paper.

Meet M3gan, a sophisticated AI robot designed by Cady’s aunt (Allison Williams). The creepy bot is meant to give Cady support through her pain. M3gan is almost too good to be true, until it starts lashing out at anyone it thinks is trying to hurt the grieving girl.

No computer program can replace a loved one, and the healing process requires more than a few cute AI prompts. That’s the serious side of “M3GAN,” a genre romp with a decidedly nasty sense of humor. The film became an unlikely smash, partly because it hit theaters just as AI’s real potential started to emerge.

The sequel, “M3GAN 2.0,” bombed by betraying the story’s core themes and, perhaps, reminding us how close to reality this franchise became in just three short years.

'2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968)

- YouTube

“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

The best science fiction stories transport us years, if not decades, into the future. Director Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece delivered the ultimate AI warning, an avuncular program named HAL designed to do our bidding.

We all know HAL has other plans, turning this space yarn into a cautionary tale like few others.

'Blade Runner' (1982)

- YouTube

The line between humans and replicants blurs beyond recognition in this sci-fi stunner that bombed during its initial release. Harrison Ford, tasked with erasing androids who pose a threat to humanity when they go rogue, is torn when he meets Sean Young’s beguiling character.

She’s beautiful, even intoxicating. But is she human? We know Rutger Hauer’s villainous character is all nuts and bolts, but his soulful dialogue suggests an AI creation of consequence.

The film doesn’t reflexively take humanity’s side, leaving us with uncomfortable questions about our tech-centric future.

'Colossus: The Forbin Project' (1970)

- YouTube

Author Glenn Reynolds begins his new book, “Seductive AI,” by citing this forgotten thriller. The film features a supercomputer built to prevent nuclear war, a noble mission that soon goes sideways. The bot becomes sentient, reaches out to its Russian counterpart, and decides it knows what’s best regarding the fate of humanity.

The film’s chilling coda must have seemed like pure fantasy at the time. No longer.

OnlyFans models are offended by Sydney Sweeney mocking their degeneracy on her TV show

Dressing up like a dog is apparently too degrading for some OnlyFans creators.

On the show "Euphoria," Sydney Sweeney's character has taken on the ridiculous task of doing pornography in order to pay for $50,000 worth of flowers for her wedding. The insane storyline has Sweeney posing as a dog and dressing as a baby — portrayals that have some involved with the subscription-based website up in arms.

'You have to really grow and nurture a fan base.'

Leathers report

Several women who make money from the overwhelmingly pornographic fan site reacted to Sweeney's scenes in a set of comments to Hollywood-centric outlet Variety. The women accused Sweeney's character of being an over-the-top and rather unbecoming representation of a porn actress.

Scenes that showed Sweeney dressed as a baby or an animal have already disturbed regular audiences on their own, but the content was seen as "ridiculous and cartoonish" by these apparent industry professionals.

"There's so much that they have her doing that is not even allowed on OnlyFans, and that alone is infuriating," Sydney Leathers, an OnlyFans veteran, told Variety. "The age-play stuff, where she’s dressed as a baby in a diaper, for example. Credit card processors have very strict rules that you have to abide by, and the rules are getting stricter all the time."

Former "Boy Meets World" star turned porn actress Maitland Ward said Sweeney was only perpetuating "stereotypes that sex workers have no moral compass and that they will do anything for money."

Lewd awakening

Calling it "beyond troubling," Ward argued that any idea that sex work is connected to abuse is false.

"There's always this untrue stigma that somehow sex work is synonymous with sex trafficking and abuse. And they just said, let's make a joke of it. That is so funny. I'm not laughing."

Ward reportedly makes at least $100,000 per month from OnlyFans and also reportedly does traditional pornography.

Same goes for Alix Lynx, another nude actress and OnlyFans creator, according to Variety. She stated that there were actually some good ideas hidden in the "Euphoria" script.

"When [Sweeney] goes to the influencer's house to get video, coming from a marketing background myself, I thought, 'OK, that's f**kin' smart. That's a great formula.'"

However, Lynx said that it's only a myth that being attractive and performing lewd acts are a ticket to the top.

- YouTube

Naked ambition

"It’s portrayed that if you just dress up and do crazy s**t, you'll instantly make money," she explained. Another idea that "you just have to be hot and have big boobs and you'll instantly cash out," is also allegedly a myth, she claimed.

"It doesn't work like that. You have to really grow and nurture a fan base."

All the women Variety spoke with reportedly argued that it is too difficult to start an OnlyFans page and garner a grassroots following; women must first have a large online fan base. The task of building a subscriber base to pornographic content was described as a near-impossible feat.

Chelsea Handler learned a valuable lesson — if you're going to attack Tony Hinchcliffe, don't go first

Liberal entertainer Chelsea Handler went head-to-head with one of the biggest comedians in the United States over the weekend, and the results were brutal.

Handler was once known for her talk shows, including "Chelsea Lately" (2007–2014), but in recent years, she has become a dominant progressive voice for feminism and being alone.

'Her whole act is just talking about how it's stupid to have kids.'

Handler has garnered headlines in the last two decades for comments like, "I'm not interested in long-term commitments" in 2025, saying "being childless and alone are everything they're cracked up to be" in 2016, and "I definitely don't want to have kids" in 2013.

On Sunday, however, Handler was forced to perform ahead of rival Tony Hinchcliffe on Netflix's "The Roast of Kevin Hart" — giving the more conservative Hinchcliffe the last word.

Ladies first

Keeping with her progressive motif, Handler directed jokes at Hinchcliffe like, "Tony is what happens when women don't have safe access to abortion care," and "Tony you have the face of a school shooter and the personality of somebody who gets shot first."

The 51-year-old also went after Shane Gillis, who was hosting the roast, saying, "Tony and Shane both live in Texas where abortion is illegal, but on the upside, if you see one of them doing comedy there's a pretty good chance your uterus will start dry heaving on its own."

She then joked that both are white supremacists who, if they weren't at the event, would typically "just burn a cross on someone's lawn."

Six comedians later, it was Hinchcliffe's turn, and he did not hold back his disdain for Handler in a series of brutal roasts.

Burn notice

"We knew Chelsea Handler would be available today because it's Mother's Day," Hinchcliffe began.

Hinchcliffe then mocked Handler's looks, saying she "looks like the f**king Joker" and is "aging like a vegetable in Lizzo's fridge."

It then seemed like Hinchcliffe may have gone off the cuff when he said Handler "f**king sucks and always has, by the way. Her whole act is just talking about how it's stupid to have kids."

He went on, "We get it, your ovaries are busted, that's like if Kevin [Hart]'s whole act was about how 'roller coasters aren't that cool anyway.'"

Rounding out his full assault, the 41-year-old Hinchcliffe said, "Chelsea actually had her eggs frozen, not on purpose, they're just inside of a cold, frigid bitch."

- YouTube

Race to the bottom

Handler wasn't the only liberal Hinchcliffe triggered, but the family of the late drug-addict turned progressive icon George Floyd took issue with one of the comedian's closing remarks.

Hinchcliffe joked to Kevin Hart that the "black community is so proud of you — right now George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard that he can’t breathe."

TMZ was told by a spokesman for the George and Gianna Floyd Foundation that Hart allowing Hinchcliffe's joke is "sad for the culture."

Floyd's family and friends reportedly think Hinchcliffe is a "racist comedian," while the foundation claimed it is only trying to better its community.

The foundation also bizarrely stated, "Let's try to be a little bit more positive — and not sit up there doing colon inspections by white comedians."

'Absolute horses**t': No influencer envy for Robert Downey Jr.; star baffled by their new 'religion'

Actor Robert Downey Jr. has a message for today's internet influencers: Get off my lawn!

In a recent appearance on Bran Ferren's "Conversations for Our Daughters" podcast, the 61-year-old star admitted this new crop of DIY entertainers seem like "hucksters" to him.

'I don't know what world you're living into, but I think that that is absolute horses**t.'

Downey added that the proliferation of online personalities seeking celebrity without effort has made it harder for anyone with talent to stand out.

Phoning it in

"People can create celebrity without ever doing much besides rolling a phone on themselves," he said. "And I don't look at that as a negative thing. I just look at it as more like the challenge for individuation is being upped."

The New York native also said that he hopes young people can resist falling into a "self-aggrandizing kind of influencer-type thing."

Not that the "Iron Man" star dislikes all social media strivers. He revealed that he has even gotten to know a few and found them grounded and accomplished. Still, don't expect him to buy in to the idea that they're the stars of tomorrow.

"When I hear people talk about, 'Oh, the stars of the future are going to be influencers,' I go, 'I don't know what world you're living into, but I think that that is absolute horses**t."

- YouTube

Stream me up

Downey noted that even his own teenage son has gotten "caught up" in the influencer world.

"Next thing you know, it's like, 'Hey, if you like the way I'm playing this video game, do you wanna send me a donation?' And really, it becomes a religion."

"There's something about the influencers today are almost like the Evangelical hucksters of the information age," he continued.

"At the same token, it's different because we’re playing in this new territory, and so it's a little bit of a frontier, and I don't really have a judgment on it."

For his part, the veteran performer said he resists industry pressure to reveal more of himself online, saying it feels inauthentic.

Stark reality

He also worries about being reduced to disposable content for insatiable clickbait culture.

"I don't wish to be consumed," he explained.

The father of three also pondered the "turnover" from traditional media to online that many believe took place in the late 2000s.

"There's something about this ... there's something about that era that because we were just in it, and you know how it always feels like 2009 was ten years ago."

'AVATAR' BOMBSHELL: James Cameron sued for ripping off likeness of indigenous actress

A series of movies based on sympathizing with indigenous cultures is allegedly set on the backdrop of hypocritical practices, a new lawsuit is claiming.

James Cameron's billion-dollar "Avatar" franchise has clear messages surrounding protecting native peoples and their environments, but according to a recent legal filing, he has actually been taking advantage of an aboriginal woman over the course of the 16-year lifespan of the films.

'A hugely lucrative film franchise that presented itself as sympathetic to Indigenous struggles.'

Actress Q'orianka Kilcher said that when she played Pocahontas across from Colin Farrell and Christian Bale in 2005's "The New World," director Cameron was so enthralled by her "beauty" that he used her likeness.

Kilcher, who has a native Peruvian background, was allegedly the inspiration for Neytiri, the female lead played by Zoe Saldana.

Face off

As NBC News reported, Kilcher said she had no idea her face was being used until she saw Cameron at an event in 2010 after the first "Avatar" movie was released. She said Cameron invited her to his office and gave her the gift of a sketch drawn and signed by him.

The gift allegedly included a note that said: "Your beauty was my early inspiration for Neytiri. Too bad you were shooting another movie. Next time."

Kilcher was just 14 years old when she played Pocahontas.

Scan scam?

According to Variety, the legal complaint filed in California said Kilcher's likeness was later replicated in production sketches, sculpted into 3D models, and laser-scanned into digital models to be distributed to visual effects companies. The lawsuit further alleged that Kilcher's likeness was used not only in movies but in posters and promotions across the world.

An interview with Cameron from 2024 was also noted in the filing, in which the director stood in front of the "Avatar" sketch and specifically identified Kilcher.

"The source for this was a photograph that was in the L.A. Times as part of the promotion for 'The New World.' It's a young actress named Q'orianka Kilcher, who played Pocahontas in 'The New World,'" Cameron explained. "So this is actually her lower face. She had a very interesting face, and I wound up meeting her years later, and I gave her a signed print of this."

Don't look back

After this, Cameron specifically told the interviewer that Kilcher was not the true inspiration for Neytiri and that Zoe Saldana — an American from New Jersey with a Dominican and Puerto Rican background — was actually who the character looked like.

"Not that she was the inspiration for the character," Cameron said about Kilcher. "But I just wanted to show how a specific person's look could come through in the character, and that was important, because then the second we cast Zoe, we started, you know, Neytiri suddenly looked like Zoe. So, you know, the question is how did we get to that point."

'Silently exploiting'

Lawyers for Kilcher said, however, that "what Cameron did was not inspiration; it was extraction."

"[Cameron] took the unique biometric facial features of a 14-year-old indigenous girl, ran them through an industrial production process, and generated billions of dollars in profit without ever once asking her permission. That is not filmmaking. That is theft," said Arnold P. Peter of Peter Law Group.

The lawsuit added, "The result was a hugely lucrative film franchise that presented itself as sympathetic to Indigenous struggles, all while silently exploiting a real Indigenous youth behind the scenes."

Neither Disney nor Lightstorm Entertainment, both of which were named in the lawsuit, responded to Align's request for comment.

Representatives for Cameron did not respond to requests from outlets like NBC News or People, either.

The "Avatar" trilogy has grossed over $1.8 billion at the box office. Two more movies are planned for 2029 and 2031.

JEDI NUT: Mark Hamill posts sick 'if only' pic of dead Trump

Lights! Camera! OnlyFans!

“My Name Is Earl” alum Jaime Pressly is the latest starlet to embrace the provocative web portal. The 48-year-old star follows in the footsteps of Shannon Elizabeth and Drea de Matteo, who also found a home on a site known for very adult material.

We don’t need Columbo to figure out who killed late-night TV. It was a homicide committed in plain sight.

“I’ve always believed in evolving with the times. … This is another way for me to connect directly with my audience, on my own terms, with creativity and intention. I’ve loved meeting fans at various Comic Cons, and the excitement of having those real face-to-face moments made me want to seek options like OnlyFans.”

Not sure it's your face they'll be coming to see, Jaime.

To be fair, not all OnlyFans content is adult in nature, but aligning yourself with the porn-centric platform does generate certain expectations — and a lot of buzz.

And sometimes the buzz is enough. Elizabeth reportedly made $1 million in her first week — and if disgruntled Reddit users are to be believed, she did it without posting anything racier than bikini pics.

The bigger picture? Starlets often struggle in youth-obsessed Hollywood to find steady work, forcing more … creative options after the age of 40.

For de Matteo, her unwillingness to follow draconian pandemic protocols helped push her out of Hollywood Inc. Progressive Hollywood, with all its MeToo starlets, didn’t have her back.

Hamill's dark side

The force is wrong with this one.

Actor Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill shared an image of a dead President Trump on, where else, Bluesky, with the phrase “If Only” attached. The “Star Wars” icon loathes the president, but this seemed an escalation that most — but not all — celebrities wouldn’t go near.

The post got plenty of attention, including some from major entertainment news sites. They usually hide stories that paint liberal stars in a bad light, but this was too ugly to ignore.

That spurred Hamill to backtrack, somewhat, but show little actual remorse.

“Accurate Edit for Clarity: ‘He should live long enough to… be held accountable for his… crimes.’ Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate. 💙-mh”

Some "apologize" (sic). And sick …

No-kill Bill

Here’s betting Bill Maher isn’t eager to chat up Hamill.

The “Club Random” podcaster is liberal, like the erstwhile Skywalker, but he draws the line at wishing his political opponents dead.

He’s old-school like that.

In fact, Maher admonished some of his fellow Democrats for joining Team Hamill.

“If you’re one of these people — and there’s many in this country — who watched that and was disappointed the president wasn’t killed … you’re not a good person. Or a smart person.”

But, chances are, the ones who felt that way were watching Jimmy Kimmel that night …

Paramount Pictures

Kombat pay

“Mortal Kombat II” is barely a movie. The sequel to the 2021 reboot hits theaters May 8, and it’s earning begrudgingly positive reviews — currently at about 69 percent “fresh” at Rotten Tomatoes.

That’s not shabby for a film with all the depth of a late spring puddle. Call it Extreme Guilty Pleasure Cinema.

Producer Todd Garner wasn’t satisfied, apparently, with that reasonably positive rating.

“Some of these reviews are cracking me up. It’s clear they have never played the game and have no idea what the fans want or ANY of the rules/canon of Mortal Kombat.”

He may be partially right. It is a film meant for gamers, first and foremost. And it’s still a movie-movie, and many producers would be tickled to get reviews above the 60% mark.

At least Garner didn’t single out a particular critic and cry, “Finish him!”

Murder, they wrote

Remember how Lieutenant Columbo would sniff out the killer, often by attempting to leave the room before returning with a final question?

“Just one more thing,” he’d croak, and the villain would get very nervous. Viewers knew the gooses were about to get cooked.

We don’t need Columbo to figure out who killed late-night TV. Endless one-note monologues and ostracizing half of the country proved the weapons of choice. It was a homicide committed in plain sight.

Even David Letterman, the old guard who put the funny first, thinks the format may go the way of the 8-track tape in a year.

The murder suspects are planning to gather later this month to honor the host set to depart first.

Stephen Colbert’s farewell tour as “The Late Show” host will bring Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Oliver on for one the CBS show’s final episodes. The quintet, comically dubbed the Strike Force Five for their brief pandemic podcast, will help wish Colbert a fond farewell.

And perhaps they’ll take turns telling Trump jokes for old times’ sake. Chances are, this will be a recurring featuring until it's finally "and then there were none" time.

M.I.A. called herself a 'brown Republican voter' — then Kid Cudi kicked her off the tour

An English musician was kicked off a U.S. tour just hours after videos surfaced of her saying she supports Republicans.

Rapper M.I.A., whose real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, is of Sri Lankan descent but was born in London in 1975. Aside from having hit records, the artist has generated headlines in recent years for calling out the music industry as a bastion of Satanism that pushes degeneracy.

'I won't have someone on my tour making offensive remarks.'

Now, the "Paper Planes" artist has found herself booted off the American tour of five-time platinum rapper Kid Cudi. M.I.A. was taken off the Rebel Ragers Tour this week — with more than two dozen stops remaining — after she was recorded making remarks that allegedly offended the headliner's fans.

Cudi's cowardice

"I've been canceled for many reasons. I never thought I would be canceled for being a brown Republican voter," she told one audience. The rapper also said she "can't do 'Illegal,'" referring to one of her songs, but added, "though some of you could be in the audience."

Apparent backlash from the remarks was enough to garner a response from Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi.

Mescudi responded on his Instagram page on Monday, writing that he was kicking the 50-year-old Brit off his tour.

"TOUR UPDATE: M.I.A is no longer on this tour," he wrote, per Variety. "I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn't want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood."

- YouTube

The 42-year-old then claimed he had been "flooded with messages from fans" that were upset by M.I.A.'s on-stage remarks.

"This, to me, is very disappointing," Cudi went on, "and I won't have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase. Thank you for understanding. Rager."

Devil music

M.I.A. did not mince words in her reply, saying that her commentary had been misconstrued and that Cudi was, in effect, doing Satan's work.

"I wrote 'illygal' on the Maya LP a song from 2010. I started this intro to the song with the statement saying I'm illygal, and I said my team hasn't gotten visas yet. Then played a song that had lyrics saying 'Fu&% the law', which I still believe, if the law is unjust f@%& it," the rapper wrote on X.

She continued, "Do not gas light my words. That is the work of Satan."

The Londoner added that she wrote her hit songs before Kid Cudi "thought immigrant rights were cool."

"I've had [these] battles by myself without the help of millions of fans backing me. I don't need this virtue signal era to all of a sudden erase an entire life I've led. Jesus was an immigrant and a rebel."

RETURN: M.I.A. explains why artists like Cardi B are destroying the music industry: 'What is cool is Satan’s playground'

I WROTE ILLYGAL ON THE MAYA LP A SONG FROM 2010.
I STARTED THIS INTRO TO THE SONG WITH THE STATEMENT SAYING I'M ILLYGAL, AND I SAID MY TEAM HASN'T GOTTEN VISAS YET. THEN PLAYED A SONG THAT HAD LYRICS SAYING "FU&% THE LAW", WHICH I STILL BELIEVE, IF THE LAW IS UNJUST F@%& IT.

DO… https://t.co/3xZk2OTBMb
— M.I.A. ⊕ II II II (@MIAuniverse) May 4, 2026

Blushing bride

Cudi is no stranger to controversy, in part because of his close relationship with Kanye West. In 2020, he disavowed his friend's association with Donald Trump.

"We just don't talk about it. I totally disagree with it," Cudi said.

In 2021, Cudi attempted to make a statement by wearing a wedding dress to a fashion awards show. The Cleveland native walked hand in hand on the red carpet with designer Eli Russell Linnetz, who told People he texted the artist ahead of the show, "Will you be my bride?"

Cudi has also been open about his battle with depression, even allegedly checking into rehab in 2016 over "suicidal urges."

M.I.A. said on Monday that she believes Jesus has returned to "lead the world justly because there is injustice in this world."
