Taylor Swift‘s fans are swearing by her crafty ways!

The pop star’s fans have swarmed the internet with multiple theories about the likelihood of her union with Travis Kelce in a more discreet venue rather than Madison Square Garden, which is on everyone’s lips.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s journey towards the aisle began in 2023 when they began dating, and in 2025, the duo shared news of their engagement with their teeming fans last August, which involved an antique cushion-cut diamond ring.

Fans are reacting to a post about preparations at the arena featuring moving trucks, increased security, and a reporter set up outside the venue. The claims made in the comment were a mix of surprise, excitement, and also a degree of denial, in true Swift fashion.

According to one of these Instagram users in the comments, it is “the best distraction ever” because Swift is getting married “somewhere else and all the paparazzi will be in NYC,” as another commenter hoped that it will be the “greatest fake out ever.”

“I believe there will be a guest wedding there and there will be a production of the wedding there. Her and Trav and their closest family and friends will be at the actual wedding elsewhere,” this user added.

Another person on Instagram theorized that Swift and Kelce may have even given the public a wrong date, as another fan expressed their certainty that the pop star and Kelce are having a good laugh about their little trick on the media.

“I bet she’s already married or getting married in a different location. She is the master of puzzles and fake-outs,” this commenter, probably too familiar with Swift’s ways, noted. Looks like all the years of the singer and her easter eggs have trained her admirers for this day!

A Collection Of Hints And Facts About The Highly Anticipated Wedding

Forbes shared that the wedding will reportedly be celebrated over the course of two days and will involve tons of décor, some closed streets, and a strict dress code. Hints about the ceremony and the venue first dropped with the city granting permits and street closures towards the big day.

According to the city permit, there will be provisions made for an event in the Garden’s Infosys Theater for about 100 people on Thursday, reported to be a rehearsal dinner, and a larger, black-tie event in the arena Friday for between 500 and 999 attendees.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani even appeared to joke about the rumored celebration during a public service announcement on Wednesday, July 1,  addressing the region’s ongoing heatwave. In a lighthearted remark, he referenced someone “renting out MSG to get married, hypothetically.”

Further fueling the rumors is the sighting of celebrity wedding planner Mark Seed, who planned Jennifer Lawrence’s wedding and the nuptials of Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley on Tuesday, June 30.

Trucks associated with her company were reportedly spotted unloading elaborate décor at the venue, including boxes labeled “trees” and large shrink-wrapped packages roughly the size of cars.

Additional boxes also marked “Garden Party 1 (scenic)” reportedly entered into the arena, reinforcing theories from several high-profile wedding planners that the venue could be transformed into an unrecognizable, flower-filled setting for the celebration.

Taylor Swift Reportedly Preferred A Lowkey Private Ceremony 

Last September, US Weekly stated that the musician was having fun researching venues and locations for her wedding, and it felt like second nature to her because she is so creative. From wedding gowns to venues to décor, the singer was reportedly impressed but quite overwhelmed, and had yet to make any decision.

On their ideal setting for their big day, sources then shared that the couple preferred a very private ceremony with family and friends, not a wedding filled with celebrities or random people. The insider continued that the event was vowed to be meaningful as they will be surrounded by their loved ones.

“Despite their celebrity, they are down-to-earth and normal. They aren’t the flashy people who want a $20 million fantasy wedding. She doesn’t want the pomp and circumstance. It will be more intimate,” the insider revealed at the time.

Swift and Kelce’s decision to stick with MSG, if actualized, will definitely exceed every expectation in their close circle, as her simple nature has been a strong point of her persona the past few years.

The Grammy Winner And Super Bowl Champion Had One Clever Security Feature

Swift and her beau have gone to great lengths to keep their wedding plans private by revealing as little information as possible. On June 29, The Blast noted that insiders familiar with the preparation claimed that the invitation was allegedly customized with a hidden watermark.

This watermark design reportedly featured the recipient’s name repeated throughout the design, and this feature was intended to identify the source if an invitation was photographed and shared online.

According to the insider, this strategy has proven effective so far because no whiff of the wedding invitation has surfaced despite widespread interest in the event.

The couple reportedly began mailing invitations in early spring, with many guests receiving theirs as early as April. Contents in the invites reportedly confirmed a July 3 wedding date and listed New York City as the destination. However, they deliberately left out the exact venue, ensuring their secret stays hidden.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Reportedly Have Two Legendary Music Acts Secured For Their Big Day

The wedding could also have two icons from Swift’s past taking the stage to dish out memorable and nostalgic tunes to the guests. Tim McGraw and Stevie Nicks, who both share a long-standing bond with the bride, will be doing the honors.

McGraw is no stranger to Swift’s world, as she named her 2006 breakout single after him; a feat that landed the single on Billboard and cemented her as one of the greatest songwriters around. 

As for Nicks, from Swift making a reference to her on her single “Clara Bow” to paying homage to her by wearing a shirt inscribed with “Stevie Knicks” to Game 4 of the NBA finals, it is no doubt that Swift adores her to great lengths.

Rumors have also claimed there will be a surprise appearance by former “The Beatles” member Paul McCartney. Swift and McCartney previously performed together during the 40th anniversary celebration of “Saturday Night Live.”

Where will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s ceremony truly be held?

Cooking influencer Joel Yukich has died at age 35.

“My name is Keegan, and I’ve known Joel since we were kids,” read a message that was posted via Yukich’s Facebook on Tuesday, June 30. “We spent much of our teen years together, and in 2017, I moved in with Joel, where we lived together for almost a year. It was around this time that Joel started floating the idea of starting a page to showcase his hunting, fishing, diving and cooking skills.”

He continued, “Not long after I moved out, Joel rang me and asked if I could help him set up the page we’ve all come to love, Blokes Can Cook Too. Joel was the face, and I helped in the background with the tech side of things, and as a sounding board for content ideas, business ideas and any other advice I could give him.”

Keegan wrote that he received “the tragic news” on Monday, June 29, that Yukich had “suddenly passed away as a result of a medical event.”

Food influencer Michael Duarte — best known by the social media handle @FoodWithBearHands — died on Saturday, November 8, in what was described as a “horrible incident.” A GoFundMe page set up to cover funeral expenses and take care of Duarte’s family said the Instagram and TikTok influencer died in Texas just three days after […]

“The inbox has been overwhelmed with messages of love,” Keegan wrote. “Joel was the loudest and brightest light in every room he went into. This page gave him an outlet to connect with other like-minded fans and creators, allowing him to forge lifelong friendships through his love of wild kai. To everyone who has messaged, thank you.”

The message continued, “Joel’s Family has set up a Give A Little page. This money will be used to support Joel’s family through this tough time. If you want to show your support, please feel free to follow the link below and donate.”

Keegan noted that Yukich’s social media pages “will remain open for now” until there’s “a clear picture from his family of what they wish to do.”

“‘Kua hinga te tōtara i te wao nui a Tāne.’ A great tōtara tree has fallen in the forest of Tāne,” Keegan concluded. “Rest in Love Joel.”

Yukich rose to fame online by sharing cooking content with his more than 116,000 followers on Facebook and more than 14,000 followers on Instagram. Yukich’s partner, Alanna Hussey, also paid tribute to the influencer after his death.

“I honestly don’t know how to write this, and I never imagined I would have to,” Hussey wrote via Facebook on Monday. “Last night, my world changed forever. My beautiful partner, Joel, passed away suddenly.”
Hussey continued, “I am completely heartbroken and still trying to process that this is real. Joel was everything to us. He was an amazing dad to his four boys, an incredible partner, and someone who would do anything for the people he loved. He had such a passion for hunting and cooking, and so many of you knew him through blokescancooktoo. He loved sharing his adventures, his recipes, and bringing people together over good food and good stories. Nothing could have prepared us for this. The silence he has left behind is unbearable, and our hearts are broken.”

Thank You!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are set to tie the knot soon, but not everyone is happy about their highly publicized union.

The couple has big plans for Madison Square Garden, which is reportedly being transformed into the ideal wedding venue. However, these preparations are affecting local businesses.

Those whose livelihoods are situated close to Madison Square Garden are allegedly unhappy because of the restrictions caused by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

According to new reports, local business owners are reportedly displeased by Swift and Kelce’s upcoming union because it will affect their livelihoods. A business owner on West 31st Street claimed it was unfair and unacceptable for the streets near MSG to be closed for the event.

The business owner argued that the closure would affect their business because they would normally pull in traffic on a busy weekend like the Fourth of July celebrations. Now, the profits they would make have become losses due to the “Opalite” hitmaker’s wedding.

The owner told TMZ that bar and restaurant establishments would make tons of money during the World Cup games and America’s 250th birthday, which was why they couldn’t contain their anger. On that note, the individual was desperate to get in touch with anyone connected to Swift and Kelce to air their grievances.

Other Business Owners Are Hoping To Ride The Wedding’s Coattails

While the business owner on West 31st street was livid about the upcoming wedding affecting their business, another entrepreneur hoped to profit from the highly publicized event. The business owner situated on West 33rd Street confirmed the street would be closed but the sidewalk open.

He confirmed the closure could cost his business tens of thousands of dollars; however, his establishment was closer to 8th Avenue. The business owner explained that 8th Avenue was embracing the wedding spirit, telling the outlet, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.”

Another business owner on West 31st street echoed similar sentiments about riding the event’s coattails. Since nothing could be done about the street closure, they planned on opening their doors on Friday, July 3, and hoping for the best.

Corporate Employees Hit With Restrictions Over The Wedding

The businesses who shared their thoughts on the upcoming event also confirmed that they had heard nothing from Swift and Kelce’s camps about compensation. The only communications they allegedly received were from the NYPD and city planning about the street closures.

These local businesses weren’t the only ones hit with restrictions for their proximity to Madison Square Garden, as The Blast reported that corporate employees were in a similar situation. “MSG is off limits to all corporate employees this week,” a source shared, noting they “were not given a reason why it’s a no-go zone.”

The restrictions were expected to continue until July 5. As for those working to bring the couple’s union to life, employees were reportedly subjected to strict security protocols. Staff members were prohibited from carrying phones while working inside MSG and were issued wristbands.

Crews Are Keeping Quiet About The Event’s Preparations

CNN covered the ongoing preparations happening in Madison Square Garden, revealing that crews were spotted moving items needed for the couple’s wedding ceremony. Two sources confirmed a celebration would happen at the area but did not delve into the details.

“My lips are sealed,” one source said. As for the street closures that were allegedly affecting local businesses, a law enforcement official claimed organizers planned on building a tent to block a portion of West 31st Street near Seventh Avenue.

The tent would be used to obstruct the public’s view of the area, allowing guests to exit their vehicles in privacy. NYPD officers were also being deployed to the area alongside heavy weapons teams that include long guns, canine units, emergency services units, and more.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Guests Reportedly Have A Dress Code

More details about Swift and Kelce’s upcoming union recently surfaced, with sources telling PEOPLE the couple had set a dress code for their guests. Attendees were allegedly told to dress to impress following a black-tie formula.

While guests could be glammed up to their heart’s desire, taking pictures or videos was not allowed. Attendees were reportedly told to leave their phones behind and given no room to smuggle one inside. “Guests have been told there will be a phone check upon arrival,” the insider claimed.

About 500 to 999 people are expected to attend the highly anticipated event following the unveiled city permits. The guest list included stars such as George Kittle, Andy Reid, Graham Norton, and Suki Waterhouse. Fellow singers Ed Sheeran and Stevie Nicks are also expected to attend.

Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce respond to the displeased business owners?

I try to space out my consumption of media like 1993’s Enemy Gold because, at the end of the day, I am a family man. But sometimes I can’t help myself because Enemy Gold, and every other film in Andy Sidaris’ Triple B film series, is the cinematic equivalent of what Andy Sidaris, or in this case his son Drew Sidaris, thinks is the ultimate male fantasy: bullets, bombs, and babes, of which there’s never any shortage.

Enemy Gold is the ultimate male fantasy because it’s two secret agents broing out and busting up drug rings with their sexy female cohort who’s just as dangerous as she is attractive. They get suspended for following nobody’s rules but their own, but their super hot and equally dangerous boss is always in their corner. Oh yeah, and there’s a treasure hunt involving a hidden cache of gold left behind by a bunch of Confederate soldiers, and everybody drinks white wine spritzers in the hot tub after a hard day’s work.

It’s the kind of movie you sneak when you’re a kid and your parents aren’t home, and it feels like the perfect, epically inappropriate adventure where you can channel your inner giga-chad and belt out one-liners while looking over your shoulder to make sure your brother and sister won’t rat you out for watching a violent sexploitation film on the family TV.

As an adult, Enemy Gold is just pure schlock and awe, and it’s the forced humor and dialogue that really make it such a treat. Every terrible double entendre you’ve ever heard lives in this movie, and they’ll continue to live in your head rent free after you watch it.

What Kind Of Chest Are We Looking For? 

The heat’s already on when Enemy Gold kicks off and we’re introduced to federal agents Chris Cannon (Bruce Penhall) and Mark Austin (Mark Barriere). They’re informed by their perpetually fit and scantily clad boss, Ava Noble (Tanquil Lisa Collins), that fellow agent Becky Midnight (Suzi Simpson) will be joining them on their upcoming mission: locating a cache of drugs being trafficked by crime lord Santiago (Rodrigo Obergon).

They find mountains of illicit substances hidden in crates of watermelons and seize the assets, but not without causing a significant amount of collateral damage, prompting Chief Dickson (Alan Abelew) to suspend them until a proper investigation is conducted. We learn that Dickson is actually working in cahoots with Santiago, along with his sexy, dangerous mistress, Jewel Panther (Julie Strain), who’s a lethal weapon in her own right.

While puttering around on a camping trip and waiting for their names to be cleared, Chris, Mark, and Becky continue reporting to Ava, who’s trying to get them reinstated. What they don’t know is that Dickson and Santiago have tapped their communications and learn that the gang has stumbled upon a map leading to a hidden shipment of gold stolen from the Union Army by a group of Confederate soldiers in 1864. At that point, it’s made abundantly clear an epic final showdown is inevitable.

That All Sounds Really Important, But Don’t Forget To Shower

I stopped counting how many times our heroes jump into a shower or hot tub in Enemy Gold because it’s embarrassing to think about. Everybody’s glistening, airbrushed, jacked, and an expert marksman in Enemy Gold. Babes fight babes, and we’re told on more than one occasion that the explosive crossbow arrows have tips that “explode three seconds after penetration.” Because, you know, sex joke.

Enemy Gold is the kind of movie that plays like it was written by an artificially intelligent blob of Mountain Dew trained exclusively on old copies of Maxim magazine and gas station boner pills. You have to go into your viewing experience with that exact expectation or it’s not going to do anything for you. The dialogue aspires to soap opera quality, everybody changes outfits in slow motion, stuff blows up, and most of the puns land at about a third-grade reading level.

Still, it’s a movie about having seemingly unlimited resources, shooting down bad guys, and tearing through the woods on all-terrain vehicles while pursuing the spoils of a century-old Civil War-era heist. If you can turn your brain off for 92 minutes and appreciate Enemy Gold for what it is, you’ll have a blast. If not, then you’re just better than me because I enjoyed the hell out of this.

As of this writing, you can stream Enemy Gold for free on Tubi.

Days of Our Lives early spoilers for July 06-10, 2026 see Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) mad about family matters. Plus, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) is doing much worse, and there’s a sneaky break-in tied to the latest DiMera drug drama.

And if you have not noticed, July Sweeps is picking up speed in Salem.

And as we always do on Early Edition Day, we’re going to talk about the rest of this week and what’s happening and then get into the spoilers for the week of July 6th through the 10th.

Days of Our Lives: Family Secrets and Medical Crisis – July 1st Through 3rd

So, let’s do this. On Wednesday, July 1st, we’ve got Gabi taken off guard by Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow). She may want to talk to Gabi about the money that she had offered Titan that of course Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) initially turned down and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) circled back around to say yes please about. And I can see Kate telling Gabi that they need it. But it won’t make up for her betraying Kate’s precious golden boy, Philip.

I’m also expecting to see Gabi shocked when she heads into Brady Pub and finds out Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) gave Arianna Hernandez (Vico Escorcia) a soft place to land now that she packed her stuff and left the Hernandez house over Gabi’s little payoff stunt with Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop).

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Roman & Kate Showdown

This week we also have Roman and Kate facing off at the pub. When she talks to Gabi, she’s got suitcases in her hand. So, we’ll see if Kate is moving out since she and Roman are already sleeping in separate bedrooms or maybe coming back. He just told Arianna that he understands about being lied to by somebody you love.

Speaking of that, Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) keeps something from Abe Carver (James Reynolds). Obviously, it’s about her growing neurological symptoms. Lexie is clearly degenerating. And Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) told EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) that he’s not sure if Lexie will even make it a month given how bad off that she is. When Wilhelm gave her the last dose of the serum, it didn’t even help at all. The one before it did some good. This last one didn’t make a dent on Days of our Lives.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Lexie Has to Come Clean

And soon Lexie has to tell Abe and Theo what’s going on. She can’t avoid it much longer. EJ is frantic and seems to have too many balls in the air with the Coriseal mess, Holly’s illness, and now his sister Lexie is dying again. And Rolf’s got nothing in his bag of tricks to save her this time.

Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) questions his boyfriend Gus (Michael Ocampo). And it may be about why he took Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) to the hospital and whether he was polite to Gus. He was. But Leo did not like seeing them kissing while he was trying to sneak out of the hospital when Sarah didn’t return because she was dealing with Holly’s crisis. So, I do wonder if they’re going somewhere with the Leo concussion mention.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Gwen Steps Up for Leo

Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) ends up helping her bestie Leo after he slipped on Charlotte DiMera’s (Autumn Gendron) slime at the pub. Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) said that Leo cannot leave the hospital without someone to care for him because it is his second concussion. Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) might help. But he’s busy getting the kids ready for their visit to Boston. So, Gwen is going to step up.

Meanwhile, Philip and Xander are totally shocked and they may learn more about the AR Capital holding company that bought their loan from the bank recently. And I’m still wondering if Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is behind it. But we’ll see.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Thursday, July 2nd

EJ finds out about a bad thing going on Smith Island. So, I wonder if it was Rita who sent somebody out there to monitor the situation at the Horton cabin because some silver-haired guy was in the bushes spying on Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) while he was taking the water sample at the Horton cabin. Sarah said the results would take 3 to 5 days. Seriously, this is a medical emergency.

Plus, Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) tries to distract Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). She might be trying to keep him away from Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and all to herself. So Joy and Alex are over at Brady Pub and she’s got him looking at Kelsey in her stroller. And Joy is also in a very tight, very low-cut top that has her belly hanging out and her cleavage. So, Alex might get distracted.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Stephanie Goes Off

And then Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) is listening to Stephanie ranting. I think she’s worried about her marriage. Rightly so, because Alex is off spending time with Joy and Kelsey, and Stephanie can’t be around. Because you know, she tried to shoot Joy. I wouldn’t put it past Joy to hide Alex’s phone or turn it to airplane mode or silent, trying to keep him focused on her and their baby and away from Stephanie.

Sarah opens up to Brady some more this week. Sarah is really worried about Holly and that her time might be running out. EJ could literally save Holly’s life if he just told Sarah that he knows she’s been exposed to arsenic. Now hopefully EJ is going to get that info into the right hands. But right now he’s also in cover-up mode. Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Holly are reminiscing as she is feeling sicker and sicker, so time is indeed running out.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Friday, July 3rd — Fourth of July in Salem

The Fourth of July hits Salem. Get ready for fireworks on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. It is also Trey’s first birthday. I’m interested to see if EJ scores an invite to his grandson’s big day since Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) begrudgingly has let EJ back into their lives, which honestly wasn’t a great idea considering what he does next with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) because EJ really needs Johnny’s help.

So EJ is pulling Johnny into this Coriseal mess as DiMera CEO and very soon EJ convinces Johnny to sneak into Sarah’s office at the hospital. So, maybe EJ is keeping an eye on Sarah while Johnny does this dirty job. He is rifling her desk and maybe looking for info.

Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) are all in their feelings this week. They head out to a nice dinner at the bistro and that’s where they run into Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad who are also out for a nice dinner now that he put his kids in the car with Jack for that long drive back to Boston. Shawn and Jada make love as fireworks go off outside and Belle and Chad share a romantic moment during the fireworks display and another kiss.

And we also have Abe and Lexie cuddling. They’re watching fireworks and Abe stresses out Lexie when he says he’s looking forward to many more July 4ths with her because Lexie knows that’s not likely to happen. Also, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is worried and opens up to Belle maybe about the chess set mystery.

Days of Our Lives: Consequences and Revelations – July 6th Through 10th

The week of July 6th through the 10th, we may get more Fourth of July action if it carries over from cliffhanger Friday.

Test results for Horton cabin water should show elevated arsenic. So far though, nobody knows why that’s happening. The info itself would be enough to treat Holly. But so far only the DiMeras know that they buried the tainted Coriseal pills out there. So, seems like EJ needs Rita to send somebody out there to dig those pills up before anybody else finds them. But of course, that is a dangerous job.

Also, EJ is going to be firing Sarah soon, and it’s going to be all during the Holly sickness storyline. EJ and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) may make some fireworks of their own on the fourth. But EJ has a lot on his mind, and so does Cat.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Lexi Has to Come Clean

Holly’s going to find out soon that she has arsenic poisoning, and of course, she still has to face Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) lawsuit. EJ may come check on Holly about the suit and obviously is feeling guiltier about her health crisis which was caused by DiMera Enterprises Pharmaceuticals.

Lexie has to tell Abe and Theo the truth soon about her limited expected lifespan. Lexie and Theo hug each other and cry when she tells him. And Lexie is soon back in the hospital as Kayla tries to save her. And Abe rages at EJ over all of this.

Belle and Chad discussed the chess set clues. There are more hints soon as the mystery continues to unfold and we know that somebody is watching Belle and Chad on some kind of surveillance camera and they’re dropping more tidbits based on Stefano DiMera’s (Joe Mascolo) orders from beyond the grave.

Kristen and Xander’s relationship deepens as they continue to try and take down EJ. But Kristen is going to be kidnapped in July Sweeps, it looks like. And Chanel gets creative when she has some sexy time with Johnny soon.

Despite their ups and downs, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter’s ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, will definitely score an invite to her upcoming wedding to Travis Mullen.

“When we get married, Matt and Britt will 100 percent be at our wedding because they are family, that is truly why,” Gina, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly at the RHOC season 20 premiere party on Tuesday, June 30, in Los Angeles, referring to her former spouse and his new partner. “They’re so excited for us.”

Gina, who was married to Matt from 2010 to 2019, announced in January that Mullen proposed on New Year’s Eve after six years together. (Gina and Mullen each have children from their previous marriages.)

Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen transformed into Orange County’s modern Brady Bunch after sparking a romance in 2019. When fans met the Real Housewives of Orange County star, she was married to Matthew Kirschenheiter. The duo, who share sons Nicholas and Luca and daughter Sienna, initially separated in April 2018 after eight years of marriage. […]

“Obviously, [Matt and Britt are] going to be at our wedding,” Gina stated to Us. “I know it kind of sounds weird and icky, but to me Matt is like my brother-in-law, and Britt kind of feels like my sister-in-law.”

She continued, “We’re just truly family, and my children would want all of their parents at such a big event and a big moment for the family, so they will 100 percent be there.”

Much like the Bravo cameras, however, Matt and his girlfriend weren’t present when Mullen got down on bended knee.

“It really was amazing. We were in Big Bear, California. We were on this little ski trip that I took with the kids, and he took me [to dinner],” Gina gushed to Us of Mullen’s proposal. “We do fancy dinner night, that’s our New Year’s Eve tradition. We get dressed up, we cook this big meal, and we always have to take a family photo. He’s like, ‘You know, I think we should take the family photo on the back deck, because there’s these cute little string lights. Can you please come check it out and make sure that we’re going to be able to get this photo done?’”

Gina, noticing the dark night sky amid a rainstorm, initially thought the weather wouldn’t hold up for the photo session.

“I go out there, and I actually started to laugh at him because I was like, ‘It’s so dark … there’s no way we’re getting this photo done,’” she recalled. “And then, the next thing you know, he’s down on his knee, and I just kind of blacked out. I was in such shock that this was actually happening, and he just said a whole bunch of beautiful things to me, and then he just asked me to marry him.”

Gina Kirschenheiter and ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter have prioritized an amicable coparenting relationship — which will extend to a future wedding ceremony with her boyfriend, Travis Mullen. “Oh my gosh, honestly, they would definitely be there,” Gina, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, September 5, of Matt, also 39, and his girlfriend, Britt. “I don’t […]

She added, “I really love that he kept that moment private, probably a little ballsy too, right? It was, like, a month before we started filming. Like, that was ballsy, but that’s my man, my ballsy man.”

While Gina was glad her engagement wasn’t captured by RHOC cameras, the jury is still out for their big day.

“It’s so early. I don’t think a wedding on TV is my vibe,” she acknowledged on Tuesday. “It’s a weird territory, [and] it’s tricky because I’ve shared so much of my life. I didn’t think that me going to jail was going to be something I wanted to put on TV, or those bad tracks, but you’ve seen all that, you’ve come this far. At least [our wedding is] a happy moment, but I just don’t see us as that kind of couple.”

Thank You!

Fans will still see Gina  offering more glimpses of her life on RHOC’s upcoming season 20.

“I am proud of myself in general,” she told Us of her reality TV experience. “Overall, I think that life really got me in my 30s, and the past decade I have spent kind of rebuilding my entire life, and I did it all on national television, which is either brave or psychotic. Maybe both, so I am proud of myself. I’m proud of where I was and where I am now. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m looking forward to where I’m still going. The sky’s the limit, and I love that for me.”

Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 premieres on Bravo Thursday, July 9, at 8 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Peacock.

Ginuwine is getting married to a much younger woman, and the internet has strong opinions about his engagement. The 55-year-old ‘Pony’ singer is engaged to 28-year-old Jannette Escartin, and according to TMZ, she is a realtor in Miami.

Ginuwine’s Engagement Announced By His Fiancée

Escartin confirmed the happy news to the outlet, revealing that Ginuwine proposed to her in Washington, D.C. several weeks ago. Following the proposal, the couple is “very happy and in love,” per TMZ. The bride-to-be also told TMZ that she met the ‘Differences’ artist in South Florida. However, she did not provide their future wedding date or any of their plans so far.

The Couple Spent Christmas 2025 Together

Ginuwine and Escartin spent Christmas together last year, and she shared a few photos of the occasion on Instagram. The photos show them posing in front of a Christmas tree. The ‘Love You More’ artist was sporting a baseball hat and T-shirt in the pics while his lady wore a white ensemble, and they were all smiles. The post was captioned, “My favorite gift this year is right beside me ❤️🎄Merry Christmas.” Then, in a Father’s Day post shared by the realtor, the singer commented “Mine.”

Roommates Sound Off About Ginuwine’s Engagement

The duo reportedly kept their romance on the down low until recently, and predictably, the internet reacted. Several roomies went in on the ‘Same Ol’ G’ singer on TSR‘s Instagram page for dating a woman so close to his daughter’s age. Ginuwine has a 25-year-old daughter, and several fans took note in TSR’s comment section.

Instagram user @gotaprilshowers wrote, “His daughter is 25. Never sits well to me when men or women are involved with people who are their children ages. I know ‘they grown’ but it’s just weird to me. Argue with yo mama!”

User @tcooperbeauty agreed. “Marrying someone the same age as your kids is weird AF to me. But I know it’s none of my business.”

User @_xo.na replied, “Men that goes after women that can be their daughter age is so cringe.”

Instagram user @_foul__play_ wrote, “She just made me feel good for my age. that’s a hard 28.”

User @blackbeauty_.__ wrote, “That’s a hard 28 I’m 25😭.”

@dasiepie replied, “28? I was thinking closer to FAWTY.”

General Hospital early spoilers for July 06-10, 2026 stun with Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) end at hand. Lives are on the line. Plus, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) is back to Port Charles, but is mad as heck. Plus, the mysterious WSB Big Boss Z hits Port Charles to take down Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

And as always on early edition day, we go over what’s happening the rest of this week. Then we get into what is coming the week of July 6th through the 10th.

General Hospital: Spillover from Sidwell and Cullum Crisis – July 1st Through 3rd

On Wednesday, July 1st, we’ve got Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) shocked by something she overhears. So, it looks like she gets out onto Spoon Island and may overhear Cullum saying that he killed Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), which could make Carly even more desperate. So, she is going to run smack into Cullum who tells Carly that she saved him a trip because, as we know, he planned on kidnapping both Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Carly.

Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) is floored when a bloodied detective, Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett), stumbles into General Hospital and calls the PCPD to put out an APB. And speaking of complications, Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) is trying to sneak out of the batting cages with James West (Gary James Fuller) while Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) was checking his phone.

But then Cody tells James to wait, that he can’t leave with him. And after getting Felicia Scorpio’s (Kristina Wagner) voicemail, I’m sure Cody isn’t going to let Cassius take James, but I do think he is going to let Cassius leave, which some people are going to be upset about.

GH Spoilers: Cody Faces a Tough Choice

General Hospital summer spoilers say Cody makes a difficult decision when facing down Cassius , and this puts him on a path that could risk things between him and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) soon.

Giovanni Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) tells Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) he has no intention of moving out of his house, despite Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) fussing about it. And Ava Jerome (Maura West) is furious. This is because Sidwell showed up to her gallery with the gun and is bringing all this scrutiny on her.

And Sidwell’s holding that gun on Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and says they’re going to find out just how valuable she is. And I’m sure Sidwell knows she’s been creeping around with Sonny. I love this because the actors who play Sidwell and Justine are husband and wife. So that was probably pretty fun to film.

So, this is the trap that Sonny walks into. Sidwell may have Justine call or text Sonny to come over there. And Justine, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons), Ava, and Sonny are all at risk of Sidwell.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nina Saves Jack’s Life

As Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) tries to short out the electric door of their cell, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is asking if Liesl is sure it’s the right wire. And Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) quickly leaps into action at Turning Woods. She panics when she sees Jack isn’t breathing. Nina intercedes on his behalf, and I suspect she may take Jack out of there so Cullum can’t try again.

General Hospital Spoilers: John Oliver Guest Stars

The late-night host is showing up with tactical personnel getting out of a helicopter. John Oliver is appearing Thursday, Friday, and Monday, July 2nd, 3rd, and the 6th. I’m pretty sure he is WSB Boss Z, the one that Jack told Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) to go find and tell that Cullum was a double agent.

When John Oliver asked for a soap role, he said he wanted his character’s name to be ridiculous, and he asked for a dramatic close-up of his face, which is standard on soaps. And I think they achieved all of that. The name Z may be a little tribute to Zazu, who John Oliver voiced in the live-action Lion King remake since that’s all Disney and ABC stuff.

Carly gets a shock. She’s still at Wyndemere and Josslyn may be on the loose soon thanks to Liesl. Tracy is there for Cody. I’m sure this is about the Cassius reveal and him trying to take James. Ava hears a shocking confession. Looks like it’s from Ethan. And I wonder if he’ll admit he’s not really Phoebe’s biological dad. And Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is thankful. So, it looks like she gets permission to go back to Port Charles.

Also, Sonny makes a revelation on Thursday and it’s got to be about Sidwell.

General Hospital Spoilers: The Teens Get Involved

Then on Friday, July 3rd, Charlotte needs help from Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). So, Charlotte may not have heard back from Carly. Remember, she told Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) and Charlotte if they hadn’t heard back from her by 8:00 p.m. to call Sonny. But the teens may not be able to reach him because of the Sidwell situation. So, it looks like Danny and Charlotte are heading out to Spoon Island and she may call Lulu from there or on the way.

General Hospital spoilers say fireworks ensue and this might be literal. We’ll see when Rocco and Danny finally see each other. Things are going to be contentious because Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) went down for Rocco shooting Cullum. This is going to come soon after the whole Cullum Sidwell thing. But I wanted to tell you before I forgot. So, Rocco is going to stick to what Jason told him to say, but Danny doesn’t like that. So, things are going to get really tense between them.

General Hospital Spoilers: Molly on a Mission

Molly wants answers. She may head over to the PCPD to ask about the identity situation involving Chase. She may want to get some info for Cody and James. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) has some explaining to do. She’s arrested for abducting Rocco and with Cullum and Sidwell both being outed over the next week or so. Her role in helping them is also exposed. Britt’s going to be grilled about Cassius as well.

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) delivers bad news and I wonder if it’s about the Spoon Island stuff, about the Sidwell stuff or him having to admit to Rocco that they had Britt arrested. And Carly unleashes her fury on Friday. She’s face to face with Cassius this week at Wyndemere. So, he’s coming back there, maybe looking to get Josslyn and Liesl out before he runs off. So, obviously Cody lets him go.

General Hospital: Aftermath and Consequences – July 6th Through 10th

The week of July 6th through the 10th, we should be getting Valentin back very soon. Z has a three-episode arc. John Oliver’s character will likely let Valentin go and pardon him for exposing Cullum as a double agent and stopping the release of the Cold Fusion device. Carly’s going to be thrilled and Charlotte will too. Other people less so.

Once Cullum is neutralized, Z is impressed with how agent Josslyn handled herself. But in the aftermath, it looks like Z might want Joss to commit to a lie that will need to stay in place indefinitely. So, I wonder if they’re trying to protect the WSB’s reputation from more scrutiny.

Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) is shocked about the trip log, so she needs the info from Jack to shut down Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) so he can’t keep blinking and lying about her being on Route 98 that night.

Anna is back. She’ll be police commissioner again before too long. She’s also going to dig into Rocco’s shooting Cullum and some other tense cases.

General Hospital Spoilers: Cody Steps Up for James

Ava, still reeling from Ethan’s confession, is going to test him to see if it’s true. Ava and Ethan may actually lean towards a romance, but it’s not going to get much of a chance to breathe before he’s got to run.

Rocco is going to be furious that his parents lied to him, betrayed him, and had Britt arrested behind his back.

After Cassius takes off, looks like Cody may need to step up for James. The kid’s going to be traumatized. Hopefully, they’ll tell him that was Cassius, his uncle, so that James doesn’t think his dad Nathan ran out on him. And Cody may have to skip the book tour to be there for James. And Molly may honestly skip the tour to be there for Cody and James based on some recent July spoilers.

Britt’s link to Cullum and Sidwell is exposed. That’s going to cause more issues probably than her taking off with Rocco in terms of criminal outcomes, but it looks like Britt’s going to skate on most of it. But she will face public scrutiny for her actions from people who know.

General Hospital Spoilers: Britt Faces Consequences

Liesl’s going to be really glad to be out of captivity at Wyndemere, but angry that her daughter Britt lied to her face and let her think Cassius was really Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) when it wasn’t.

And once Britt is back at General Hospital, Lucas is going to look into her Huntington’s in light of the whole saline not real medication revelation that’s come out.

Jack is grateful that Nina literally saved his life and he’s going to repay it by getting Willow what she needs to shut down Drew once and for all. So, he’s going to recover, but his hands are going to be tied to some extent. It’s going to be harder than Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) thinks to make Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) lose faith in Willow.

And for now, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) is still in denial about Willow being the other driver. Curtis is actually right, but for all the wrong reasons.

 Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for July 06-10, 2026 blow up with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) angering her mom Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) when she won’t cave and do what she wants. Plus, Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) has been pushed too far by Hope taking her line over to Logan and he’s probably going to explode.

And as we always do on Early Edition Day, we’re going to talk about the rest of this week and then get into what is coming the week of July 6th through the 10th.

Bold and the Beautiful: Family Fury and Workplace Betrayal – July 1st Through 3rd

So, on Wednesday, July 1st, we’ve got Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) coming down really hard on Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) for what she believes are lies that he told her. At the very most they’re lies of omission, but I don’t even think they’re that. Electra is hitting it well for not telling her that Hope was collaborating with Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), that Katie Logan (Heather Tom) was starting up a jewelry line, and the biggest sin, of course, that Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) got the Hope for the Future big blue diamond.

Electra was absolutely appalled to see it on Hope’s neck at the launch. Will had barely found out about all this stuff before the launch even rolled out. And all of that is business and completely separate from their personal relationship. Period. Electra’s wrong, but she is going to pout and make Will feel bad about it.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Will Complains to Bill

And after Electra gripes, we’re going to see Will trudge back over to Logan to complain to Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) about how he’s in the doghouse with Electra. I am quite certain that Bill is going to tell Will that it’s business, that Electra is being extra, and that Will might want to think about dating somebody else or writing her a reality check.

I also expect Electra to gripe to Dylan about what she sees as Will’s betrayal. And I expect RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) to circle around to Electra and smack talk Will for being a lying Spencer. The usual junk R.J. says about Will any chance that he gets.

Brooke has more to say to Katie. Lots more. Like, “I’m taking back Hope. You can’t have her. This means war,” more threats, etc. Hopefully, Brooke won’t break anything else and Bill needs to have the Spencer security guards blacklist her from the building after this.

I am still stunned that Brooke brought up when Katie was a child and then accused her sister of judging her like Stephanie did with the “from the valley” thing. That is all deep history. It’s not relevant to what’s going on right now. Yet, when Katie brought up Brooke stealing Bill from her, she said that was so long ago.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Brooke Goes Unhinged

At this point, Brooke has just lost her mind with rage, and I think she’s just spouting unhinged craziness. After smashing the sign, she wants to talk to Hope, and it’s time for her daughter to face the music. Brooke is confident that Hope is going to walk out of Logan with her, but I seriously doubt that she will do anything like that.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Thursday, July 2nd

We’ve got R.J. and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) continuing their conversation about how it’ll go when Hope and Brooke are face to face. I’m sure they’re going to smack talk the Spencers, all the usual. And I’m betting that Hope’s mom says, “We’re going to leave Logan right now, and you’re never coming back.” And Brooke’s going to lose it when Hope doesn’t trot behind her right back to Forrester Creations.

So, Brooke gets an apology from Hope, and Brooke is chewing Hope out for sneaking behind their backs and lying. And she says she should have told Brooke, but she tells Hope that she never should have done it at all. And she tells Brooke that she had reasons and Hope is sorry that she hurt Brooke and Hope doesn’t like disappointing her and she hopes that Brooke will forgive her someday.

So, they’re having this tense talk in the Logan showroom and I’m sure that Hope’s going to be stunned that her mom bashed that screen. I expect Brooke to tell Hope she’s got to leave Logan and come back to Forrester Creations right now and then Brooke will forgive her.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Friday, July 3rd

This conversation is going to carry over from Thursday. And we’ve got Brooke demanding that Hope go back to Forrester Creations. And I don’t think that’s going to go the way that Brooke thinks it’s going to go. So, Brooke is expecting fully that she can lean on Hope and that she will walk out on her aunt Katie and never look back. Hope doesn’t want that and she’s trying to explain some of the reasons that she walked away and doesn’t want to go back to Forrester Creations.

Brooke’s going to keep pushing. I’m expecting tears, ultimatums, anger as she tells Hope that Katie has manipulated her like she did Eric, which is, as we know, a false narrative. But Hope is grateful to Katie and I think Brooke is going to lose her temper. So, according to official Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, she reaches a tipping point and I expect her to slap Hope with a devastating ultimatum.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Electra May Move Out of Will’s

Also, Will faces consequences for Electra’s bad attitude about him not spilling trade secrets to her. And I’m sure R.J. is going to encourage Electra to come down hard on Will about this. I do think R.J. will encourage Electra to dump Will and say you can’t trust the guy. All the same stuff. I don’t know if Electra will go that far, but she might move out temporarily. Go back to Eric’s for a moment. Just take a time out.

You know, Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) is shattered when Deke won’t give Remy a second chance. Deke’s just not ready, and he may tell Remy he’s not sure if he ever will be, and he may lash out at Deke in anger.

Bill’s assistant, Allison (Theodora Greece), is back this Friday, and hopefully he’s going to show Brooke the door at Spencer, or alert Bill to Brooke terrorizing Katie and Hope and smashing up the showroom like a lunatic.

Bold and the Beautiful: Fallout and Tough Conversations – July 6th Through 10th

The week of July 6th through the 10th, Bill, Katie, and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) are going to encourage Hope to stay the course, enjoy her success, relish in these excellent sales numbers and positive reviews, and look forward to her future, not dwell on the past, even though Brooke is making Hope feel terrible about putting her life and her career first and not caving to Brooke trying to guilt her to go back to Forrester Creations.

So, Ridge is going to comfort Brooke, who’s going to come back from her argument with Katie and showdown with Hope, brokenhearted and hopeless. I expect Brooke’s house is about to be minus a few people. Hope, Liam, and Beth Spencer (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) may pack up and head to the Spencer mansion after this.

Bold and the Beautiful: Hope Has to Step Up

Honestly, Hope’s been at Brooke’s backside her whole entire life, including her adulthood, working together, you know, her living out in the guest house on her mom’s property. I honestly think that this little separation could be a good thing for Hope to go to work like a grown-up where Brooke isn’t fighting Hope’s battles for her.

I’m sure Ridge will have some things to say about Hope’s massive betrayal because I agree, she shouldn’t have lied. Doing it fine, lying about it’s not.

I also expect Brooke to confront Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) and lay into her with a much heavier hand than Eric Forrester (John McCook) did. And you know, Donna just needs to write Eric a reality check.

Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is back soon as Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) goes to Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) with the bizarre Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) and Hayes Finnegan (Bryan David Garlick) visitation demands that are Sheila’s terms and conditions for giving Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) a divorce.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Finn Reaffirms His Love for Steffy

July spoilers for B&B say that Finn vows to always put Steffy first and that likely comes after this disturbing conversation about Sheila.

The Forresters try to figure out how to handle Eric’s launch in light of the press having a field day with yet another Forrester Creations employee running over to join Logan. So, I wonder if Steffy and Ridge decide to delay the launch, which would be a really bad look, or make it streaming only to shut out press questions that they do not want to answer at this juncture.

I expect that Hope and Zende need to have a long overdue conversation about how her decision to go to Logan affected his future, and she didn’t even give him a heads up. Somebody else is disappointed. Hope may get a whole earful from a very upset Zende who has every right to be upset.

Other July spoilers have another woman showing interest in Will and B&B spoilers say Will and Electra’s relationship is tested yet again. I’m blaming that on Electra until I see different.

Also, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) are going to soon face a challenge to their marital bliss. That’s going to happen at some point in July. I’m expecting infertility drama.

Disappointment isn’t enough to express how many feel after Lil Wayne‘s latest disappearing act.

The Hip-Hop icon is no stranger to skipping scheduled concerts and has gained infamy for leaving fans hanging over the years. Now, history has repeated itself at the Bangor Waterfront on Tuesday night.

Lil Wayne has yet to explain the reason behind his absence, but no excuse is enough to calm the raging storm in fans’ hearts.

Wayne was scheduled to perform at the Bangor Waterfront on June 30, with his set meant to follow 2 Chainz’s opening act around 10:45 pm. However, the crowd was kept waiting until 11 pm when the concert was abruptly canceled because the rapper couldn’t make it.

Displeased fans made their grievances known on Reddit, with many recalling how showrunners had blatantly deceived them, particularly the show’s DJ. Someone claimed the DJ kept playing while hyping up the crowd for Wayne’s performance despite knowing he wasn’t coming.

“The fact that his DJ kept playing and trying to hype us up and kept saying ‘y’all ready for the greatest rapper alive’ when he KNEW Wayne wasn’t even coming out is crazy,” a disappointed concertgoer wrote. They added that the rapper didn’t even make it to Maine and had plenty of time to cancel.

Fans Slam The Hip-Hop Star As ‘Unprofessional’ And ‘Disrespectful’ 

More Redditors slammed Wayne’s behavior, comparing him to rock stars who were known for their punctuality. One fan claimed rock and metal bands were never late to their shows, while another recalled watching Chelsea Grin’s vocalist once performing with a broken arm.

“That’s so unprofessional. He does this because he knows he can get away with it,” someone argued. A fellow critic echoed similar sentiments, labeling Wayne “Disrespectful asf!” They claimed he had “the audacity to post stories and not even apologize.” 

The anger towards Wayne further increased when a Redditor claiming to work at the venue dropped shocking allegations. They revealed the entertainer never made it to the venue, nor did he attend the two-day rehearsals that showrunners scheduled ahead of the June 30 concert.

Lil Wayne Skipped A 2025 Performance Due To Illness

The complaints continued with more fans lamenting the time and effort wasted despite knowing Wayne’s infamous track record. In August 2025, PEOPLE reported that the entertainer had canceled a scheduled performance in Toronto due to “unforeseen illness.”

A statement from the Budweiser Stage venue confirmed his absence, noting the concert would be postponed until further notice. The incident occurred amidst the Hip-Hop star’s Tha Carter VI tour, which began in Virginia Beach, V.A. on August 1, 2025.

While illness forced Wayne to cancel the show, a shocking reason caused him to walk out of a performance in May 2023. At the time, HipHopDX shared that the rapper had left the stage only 30 minutes into his show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.

The Entertainer Once Stormed Out Of A Performance 

The L.A. show had been the last stop of Wayne’s Welcome to Tha Carter tour. He reportedly performed for half an hour before bringing out surprise guest 2 Chainz, then taking a break. He left the stage to allow his Young Money artists Lil Twist, Yaj Kader, and Allan Cubas to perform.

Fans were not happy about the arrangement, as many believed 30 minutes was not enough for Wayne’s performance. The crowd made their displeasure known, and the Hip-Hop star returned to the stage to cancel the entire show, claiming they “ain’t about to be bending over backward for these folks.”

Many fans expressed their disappointment on X, with someone declaring they would never attend another concert. Others echoed similar sentiments, arguing that the entertainer had no right to be upset after arriving late and then promoting some of his new artists instead of performing.

Lil Wayne Previously Missed Three Minneapolis Performances

Wayne’s infamous rap sheet continued with three missed performances in Minneapolis. He first disappointed fans in 2015 when he was scheduled to perform but bowed out because members of his entourage reportedly refused to submit to security checks, per CBS News.

The second incident occurred in February 2017 when he missed a scheduled performance and offered a make-up concert for April. Unfortunately, fans’ hopes were crushed when the fateful day arrived, and Wayne pulled his disappearing act for the third time.

The rapper had been scheduled to perform at Target Center, alongside Hip-Hop sensations Rick Ross and Young Jeezy, but skipped due to “plane mechanical issues.” Wayne also apologized for disappointing Minnesota fans for the third time, promising to make it up to them on X.

Will Lil Wayne apologize for missing his latest performance?
