Marvel fans have spent the last 48 hours dissecting every frame from the Avengers: Doomsday Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, and one of the biggest mysteries wasn’t in the trailer at all. It was stitched directly into Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom-inspired jacket.

Now, the hidden Latverian runes embroidered across the costume have been translated, revealing several ominous messages that appear to hint at Victor Von Doom’s mindset heading into Avengers: Doomsday.

A Secret Language Hidden in Plain Sight

The mysterious symbols first caught fans’ attention during Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel. At first glance, they appeared to be decorative runes inspired by Doctor Doom’s homeland of Latveria.

However, eagle-eyed fans quickly realized they matched the same fictional alphabet previously used on the “Dom Latveria” coffee promotion released earlier this year. By comparing those symbols to English lettering, fans were able to decode nearly every phrase embroidered onto Downey’s jacket.

What the Jacket Says

The translated messages include several chilling phrases:

“THERE IS NO PROMISE OF TOMORRO”

The final “W” is intentionally absent, likely reflecting the stylized Latverian alphabet rather than a typo.

Other translated phrases include:

• JUSTICE
• REVENGE
• TO THE VICTOR
• GO THE SPOILS

The last two combine to form the classic saying:

“To the victor go the spoils.”

It’s an especially fitting reference considering Doctor Doom’s real name is Victor Von Doom, making the phrase both literal and symbolic.

What It Could Mean for Doctor Doom

Marvel hasn’t confirmed whether the embroidered messages carry story significance, but they certainly fit Doom’s comic book history.

Justice and revenge have long defined Victor Von Doom’s motivations. While Doom often sees himself as humanity’s rightful savior, he justifies nearly any action if it leads to what he believes is a better world. The phrase “There is no promise of tomorrow” also aligns with the multiversal stakes already teased in Avengers: Doomsday, where reality itself appears to be on the brink of collapse.

Marvel’s Attention to Detail

Marvel Studios has become known for hiding Easter eggs in costumes, props, and production design, but this may be one of its most elaborate yet. Rather than random decorative symbols, the runes form complete messages that reinforce Doctor Doom’s philosophy before audiences have even seen the film.

It’s another example of the studio rewarding fans willing to examine every detail frame by frame.

With Avengers: Doomsday releasing later this year, don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last hidden message Marvel has tucked away for fans to discover.

Since popping out with Papoose, Claressa Shields has never played about him! Recently, she kept the same energy after an interviewer asked her about dating a “married man.” It’s a question that’s been swirling online since Remy Ma exposed her estranged husband’s relationship with the champ boxer.

Claressa Shields Reacts To Question About Dating Papoose

Shields appears to be on a press tour for an upcoming boxing match against Kaye Scott on August 15. The fight is set to take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. She stopped by the city’s radio station, Streetz 94.5 FM, and chatted about the event, her career and overall personal life. At one point, the interviewer asked, “How much longer are you willing to be in a relationship with somebody’s husband?” Before the interviewer wrapped up the question, Shields had already started jumping in to respond. Still, the interviewer continued, saying, “Because at the end of the day, that’s what people are looking at.” Shields immediately responded, clocking the interviewer’s description of Papoose.

“Well, pause. ‘Cause that’s not somebody’s husband. Papoose filed for divorce. Y’all hate to say that word, but it’s the word that’s out there. He filed for divorce because he’s serious about me. So, I’m not with somebody’s husband and if you’re going to call him her husband, make sure you call her his wife and also hold her accountable for what she’s doing in her life.”

Claressa added that Remy Ma, who she didn’t explicitly name, is also living her life with someone else. “So don’t make it seem like it’s just one-sided. I’m not with somebody’s husband. I’m with the man who filed for divorce, who’s serious about me, who’s done things for me that I’ve done for him. So that’s not what it is,” Shields clarified.

What’s Going On With Remy Ma & Papoose? 

In this new interview, Claressa Shields said that Papoose is going through the courts. However, she didn’t clarify whether their divorce has been finalized. “It takes time,” she said. This is nearly the same statement Claressa made last December, when ‘The Breakfast Club’ hosts invited her to join an interview they were holding with Papoose. She spoke out after DJ Envy spoke of wanting Remy Ma and Papoose to mend their friendship and lock in on co-parenting.

“That takes time. It’s a divorce. It’s not something that just happens overnight, but people life don’t stop because of that. It’s papers, it’s time, it’s stuff that gotta happen, but at the end of the day, we move forward with our lives,” Claressa said. Pap jumped in at that point saying, “Like I said, I wish her the best..” and Claressa added, “Yeah, for sure.”

Claressa Gives Chrisean Rock Advice

Claressa Shields recently linked up with Chrisean Rock for boxing training and filmed their session. But the sport isn’t the only topic that women discussed. Claressa also gave Chrisean a bit of love life advice. Shields didn’t name names, but fans put two and two together. She advised Rock to duck, hide and dip anytime the ‘Thotiana’ rapper is on the scene in order to maintain control over her narrative. The boxer’s advice came after Rock went viral for a livestream interaction with Blueface on a yacht. During their encounter, Rock confronted Blue about denying he’s her son’s father, while he called her out for alleging he’s gay.

Usher delivered another steamy segment on ‘The R&B Tour’ in Birmingham, Alabama, on Tuesday, July 28, involving a cherry. The ‘Yeah!’ singer set things back on track following a mishap with an uncooperative fan in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, July 25.

Usher Returns With Another Spicy Performance Following Fan Drama

‘The R&B Tour’ had a show in Birmingham, Alabama, on Tuesday, and Usher brought things back to normal following some drama with a fan in Nashville over the weekend.

Usher is notorious for getting veeeeery close with his fans onstage, and most are enthusiastic after being chosen for the special moment. However, a fan named Gabrielle Cheyenne was booted off the stage in Nashville after she failed to go along, but things are back to normal as Usher heated up the Birmingham stage.

The singer brought a fan onstage while performing ‘Can U Handle It?’ However, this time he had a fan who was very enthusiastic, and she went IN, okay?! Not only that, Usher seemed to co-sign her performance when he looked at the audience in shock after she got on top of him.

Things got even more spicy after a bowl of cherries got involved. As the fan straddled Usher, a bowl of cherries was brought to the stage. The fan was supposed to feed the cherry to Usher, but she sucked on it for a moment beforehand.

As she attempted to feed him, the ‘Good Good’ artist opened his mouth wide. Just as he was about to eat the cherry, he turned his head and sent the audience into hysterics.

Fans Are Howling Over The Performance

Live Bitez shared footage of the moment on Instagram, and users reacted to the video.

User @bruushay wrote, “Baby she ate. If u gon go on stage it should go something like this!! 😂👏.”

@sam.thealchemist replied, “Oh he the one being modest tn 😂.”

@edeng.official joked, “Who tf she thought she was 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.”

User @lee_me_loner added, “they needed security on that one. He got a dose of his own medicine from the last one 🤭. It’s now balanced ⚖️.”

@mikeycoleone added, “At this point it’s jus soft P*rn 😂.”

@therealmistermorris noted, “This time he got smart and went with a girl from his generation of music!”

Before Usher kicked Cheyenne off the stage in Nashville, he said, “I don’t think she wants to be on stage.” 

Instagram user @layylowkee joked, “I DONT THINK HE WANNA BE ON STAGE!!🫪🗣️😭.”

Usher Warned Fan Before Bringing Her Onstage

Usher warned the fan before bringing her onstage following the drama in Nashville. Cheyenne clapped back on social media after fans dragged her for getting kicked off the stage.

“First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage. I looked good… you thought I wasn’t gonna let THOUSANDS of people see me?? On the big screen, where you Will never be???? My mom and I had FLOOR SEATS. Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started !! PRETTY PRIVILEGES something you will never know about!! They don’t say what you’re going up there for!! Y’all wanted me to get up there and f**k him atp ?? CHATT FOLKS AREN’T USED TO ANYTHING. That’s the most exciting thing that would’ve happened in y’all little a** lives !! F**k yall, DISRESPECTFULLY

Usher noted the fan’s comments during the Birmingham show and seemed to throw some shade in the process.

“Before we get started, don’t bring your a*s up here if you don’t wanna be here,” he said. “God, don’t like ugly, but he most certainly don’t feel too good about pretty privilege, either.”

It would appear that the Birmingham fan understood the assignment. That is, until she tried to feed Usher that cherry.

UPDATE 7/30/26, 4 a.m. ET: Folk singer Linda Perhacs has been “found safely” after concerned friends reported her missing earlier this week.

“We are grateful to share that singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs has been located and is safe,” Perhacs’ former manager Laurel Stearns said in a statement to Rolling Stone on Thursday, July 30. “After a period of concern during which friends, collaborators, and members of the music community were unable to establish contact with Linda and had filed police reports accordingly. Law enforcement has just confirmed that she has been found and is safe.”

The statement continued, “We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped amplify this effort by sharing information, reaching out with support, and expressing genuine care for Linda’s well-being. The overwhelming response from fans, fellow musicians, journalists, and the broader creative community has been a powerful reminder of the profound impact Linda’s music. We are especially grateful to the authorities for their assistance and to all those who worked behind the scenes to help bring clarity to this situation.”

“At this time, we ask that Linda’s privacy be respected as those close to her determine the best path forward,” Stearns added. “We hope this moment allows for compassion, healing, and continued support for an artist whose work has touched so many lives. Thank you again to everyone who stood with Linda and helped ensure that she was found safely.”

Original story below:

Folk singer Linda Perhacs has been reported missing months after being released from a residential care facility.

Perhacs’ friend Mark McNeill shared a plea for help via Instagram on Monday, July 27, writing, “Linda Perhacs our dear friend and legendary singer-songwriter was discharged from a residential care facility approximately eight months ago under the supervision of her legal guardian.”

McNeill claimed that Perhacs’ loved ones have been unable to get in touch with her.

“Since then, friends and longtime collaborators have been unable to reach her and repeated attempts to contact her guardian have reportedly gone unanswered,” he continued.

In the social media post, McNeill urged his followers to reach out to Perhacs’ former manager Laurel Stearns via email with any “verified information regarding Linda’s whereabouts or current means of contact.”

McNeill’s post was jointly shared by Stearns, Jessica Hundley, who directed the music video for Perhacs’ song “Prisms of Glass,” and musician Julia Holter.

Stearns broke her silence about her former client’s disappearance in a statement to Entertainment Weekly, claiming “concern is growing” among Perhacs’ close friends, collaborators and the music community.

According to Stearns, “numerous friends and longtime collaborators report they have been unable to establish direct contact” with Perhacs since she was discharged.

“Repeated attempts to communicate with her guardian have also, they say, gone unanswered,” she added.

Thank You!

Perhacs, 83, is best known for her debut album, Parallelograms, which was released in 1970.

Despite its low sales, the album was rediscovered three decades later and was reissued numerous times due to growing demand during the New Weird America movement.

Perhacs went on to release The Soul of All Natural Things in 2014, followed by her third studio album, I’m a Harmony, three years later.

Cardi B is setting the record straight about her appearance following renewed speculation over whether she altered her famous curves. During a recent Instagram Live, the rapper confirmed that she previously had her butt injections reduced. However, she denied recently undergoing surgery to achieve her current figure and said she has not had another procedure since January 2024. Her candid admission came days after her appearance at Pacha NYC sparked widespread discussion about her noticeably plump posterior.

Cardi addressed the rumors after fans repeatedly encouraged her to undergo a reduction. “A lot of y’all keep telling me to go get my a-s reduced,” the “WAP” rapper said, per Daily Mail. “I don’t need to go get my *ss reduced. News flash: I did get my a-s reduced.”

The 33-year-old explained that reversing the cosmetic work entirely would not be as simple as some fans seem to believe. Cardi said she “can’t just go and lipo[suction] my butt, because my skin is, like, kinda loose,” which she explained was “why my *ss shakes so much.”

Although liposuction could remove additional volume, the rapper claimed that taking that approach could cause her backside to droop due to loose skin. Correcting that result would require a more invasive operation and a lengthy recovery period, neither of which currently appeals to her. “So I would have to cut myself. And I’m not cutting myself,” Cardi continued. “I’m not sitting down for four months. I’m outside, like I said.”

Rapper Says She Is ‘Comfortable’ With Her Current Body

Despite the constant commentary surrounding her curves, Cardi insisted she is happy with her appearance. “I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin,” she said.

The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker also emphasized that she has never attempted to hide her cosmetic procedures from the public. “I’m very, very honest,” she said. “First of all, I got two lipos and one a-s reduction.”

Cardi explained that she originally decided to reduce the injections because she felt the exaggerated shape did not properly suit her naturally small frame. “First thing first, I am a small girl,” she said. “I’m a very small, petite girl. My mom is petite. My sister’s petite. My aunts are small.”

While Cardi was willing to explain her decisions, she also made it clear that she does not believe fans are entitled to continually scrutinize her body. “Y’all acting like y’all new to this,” she said. “Y’all been seeing my body for how many years now? Too many.”

Cardi B Pushes Back Against New Surgery Speculation

Cardi also addressed claims that her increasingly defined waist and svelte figure must be the result of additional cosmetic procedures. “Oh, ‘You look super super snatched,’” she said mockingly. “Yes, b-tch, just stop hating. I’ll tell you what I do so I could look snatched.”

The Grammy winner claimed that her current approach includes consuming lean proteins such as grilled chicken and salmon. She also prioritizes fiber, including through healthy beverages.

Cardi cautioned her followers against attempting to “starve” themselves to lose weight, as extreme restriction can be dangerous and counterproductive. “That’s what I do. I’m being as honest as possible,” she continued, according to PEOPLE. “[Anytime] someone’s talking about, oh, I look good, y’all say I’m doing surgery.”

The rapper then offered a blunt response to those continuing to question her figure. “So shut the f-ck up,” she said, urging viewers not to behave like “hating a-s b-tches.”

“Enjoy your life. Enjoy yourself, enjoy your everything,” Cardi advised.

Kehlani Was Shocked By Cardi B’s Curves

The latest discussion follows a viral backstage encounter between Cardi and Kehlani in February. During the exchange, which was captured in an Instagram video posted by radio personality Big Boy, Kehlani appeared stunned after touching the rapper’s backside. “You have so much a-s!” Kehlani exclaimed in the crowded hallway.

Cardi then announced that she was considering having more of her injections removed once she completed her tour. “After this tour, I’m taking some out,” she said. “After this tour, I don’t wanna hear nobody for three months. I’m going to Colombia; nobody hit me up, nothing. I’m taking this a-s out!”

The declaration suggested Cardi was prepared to disappear from the public eye for several months while recovering from another procedure. Those plans did not last long.

Cardi B Previously Abandoned Her Colombia Plans

Approximately one month later, Cardi revealed during an appearance on the “Today” show that she no longer intended to travel to Colombia for the reduction. “I was saying that, but I’m not gonna do it,” she said. “I was just gonna take a little bit of butt out, but I don’t have time for that.”

The performer also explained that she was feeling “really comfortable” with her body, making another procedure seem less necessary.

Cardi B is opening up about a recent body transformation.

“A lot of y’all keep telling me to go get my ass reduced. Newsflash, I did got my ass reduced,” the “Imaginary Playerz” rapper, 33, said in a recent Instagram livestream, a clip of which has been recirculating via X.

She added, “I can’t just go and [liposuction] my butt because my skin is kinda loose, like, that’s why my ass shakes so much. So if I just go and get a lipo reduction — that is the easy way — my ass could drop. So I would have to cut myself, and I’m not cutting myself. I’m not sitting down for four months, bitch. I’m outside, like I said.”

As for the reason for her smaller behind, Cardi said she decided to have the reduction because of her “small” frame. “I’m a very small, petite girl. My mom is petite. My sister’s petite. My aunts are small,” she said, per People.

Cardi B is clapping back at claims her body transformation stems from a lack of confidence or needing to impress anyone but herself. The rapper, 32, denied getting plastic surgery due to being “insecure” or in an effort to keep a man while appearing on the Wednesday, September 24, episode of the “Call Her Daddy” […]

“I like my body how it looks right now. I’m comfortable in my skin,” she added.

Clapping back at criticism over her body, the rapper said, “Y’all acting like you’re new to this. Y’all have been seeing my body for how many years now? Too many.”

“Why every single time that I look good, y’all talking about I’m doing a surgery?” she continued. “I haven’t got surgeries since January 2024, and even in January 2024, I didn’t went and got lipo, I got my f***ing ass reduced, like y’all told me to do.”

Cardi previously revealed to GQ in 2018 that she had her buttocks illegally injected with filler by an unlicensed practitioner in a basement in Queens, New York, for $800 when she was 21.

At the time, Cardi told GQ she planned to return to the woman for a touch-up but said, “By the time I was gonna go get it, the lady got locked up ’cause she’s supposedly killed somebody. Well, somebody died on her table.”

Earlier this year, Cardi teased going to Colombia to have her behind further reduced. “After this tour, I’m taking some out,” she said in a video shared by Big Boy’s Neighborhood via Instagram. “After this tour, I don’t wanna hear nobody for three months. I’m going to Colombia … nobody hit me up, nothing. I’m taking this ass out!”

However, the following month, she backtracked during an appearance on the Today show. “I was saying that, but I’m not gonna do it,” the rapper said. “I was just gonna take a little bit of butt out, but I don’t have time for that.”
