Post Malone death penalty hoax swirls
Posts began spreading online claiming Post Malone had been given a death sentence at the end of July and everyone was really confused.
One person wrote on Twitter: “I’m confused why did Post Malone get the death penalty?
“Post Malone killed two people and now he has the death penalty!!!?! GIRL WHAT!??!!?” said another.
I’m confused why did Post Malone get the death penalty?
The hoax emerged after the 28-year-old appeared on the YouTube channel Mythical Kitchen and ate his hypothetical ‘last meal’.
In the series, celebrities are interviewed by chef Josh Scherer as they eat the food they would choose as their final meal on Earth.
The Sunflower rapper chose a plate stacked full of mozzarella sticks, garlic knots, and a side of marinara sauce for his starter.
Then, he had Raising Cane’s chicken tenders, stuffed crust pizza, chicken parm, and filet mignon steak with teriyaki sauce.
He topped the savory options off with a bowl of spicy ramen and a glass of his own wine Maison No. 9 – but it didn’t stop there.
His final meal ended with frosted flakes cereal and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Watch the whole video below:
Wild hoax fools fans
A number of fans were fooled by the hoax and thought the rapper really had got the death penalty.
One person wrote on Twitter: “I need to stay off this app cause not y’all telling me Post Malone got the death penalty for murder😭 and I believed it.”
“WTF POST MALONE GOT A DEATH SENTENCE?” said another.
A third person added: “What’s this news about post malone and him eating his last meal??”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S POST MALONE’S LAST MEAL?” someone else said.
Don’t worry, Post Malone isn’t going anywhere. He just released his fifth studio album Austin on July 27 and is currently on tour in the United States.
Those who got their hands on the free Circus Maximus Travis Scott shirt are flaunting the rare collectible all over social media.
Travis Scott released an album film to support his latest project, Utopia, which is only available to watch in the theaters. The rapper released his new album yesterday featuring many renowned artists, including the likes of Drake, The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, and more. In less than a day since the album dropped, some fans are even convinced that the meaning behind his track Delresto (Echoes) with Beyonce hints at Renaissance Act II.

Circus Maximus Travis Scott shirt is given away for free
Your efforts to find the official merch store that sells the Circus Maximus Travis Scott shirt may render useless because the rare collection was given away for free.
People who went to AMC to watch the rapper’s album movie, Circus Maximus, were surprised on receiving a free t-shirt, which isn’t being sold otherwise.
Many fans who were given the free merch noted that they only had to buy the ticket to the movie at AMC and the person sitting behind the counter handed them over one shirt per purchase.
The crewneck t-shirt and sweatshirt come in black and grey with letters on it printed in bright orange. While the frontside features the logo of Travis’s record label, the name of the movie is written in bold on the back.
Some fans claimed most of the pieces were only available in large size and were sold out within the first showing owing to the high demand.
Third-party sites are selling free merch for high costs
As the album film merch is going out of stock quickly, fans have turned to third-party sites, that are either selling the free merch from AMC or have displayed the replica of the original t-shirt and sweatshirt.
TikTok users have found online shopping stores where the same collection is priced from $150 to $200.
Even though the design of the shirt looks convincing, the quality of the replica in most cases isn’t the same as the original merch.
Also, Travis’s official shopping website isn’t selling the limited-edition shirt that accompanies Circus Maximus.
New album is available to stream
Circus Maximus is only available to watch in theaters, but all tracks on Utopia can be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music. Below is the complete tracklist with all the features.

Cats are one of the most adorable furry buddies until they aren’t, so the 911 call about a domestic Himalayan cat that ‘holds family’ hostage after attacking their child will send chills right down your spine.
Social media is mostly famous for adorable cat and dog videos where you find puppers and kitties canoodling with their human parents or among themselves, but you don’t often come across a 911 call from a panic-stricken man, who is scared for his life as the “violent” cat wouldn’t budge from his position.

Domestic cat ‘holds family hostage’
The origin of the viral 911 call recording isn’t clear, but the viral TikTok claims it was a call between a man who was held hostage by his cat and the dispatcher.
The unidentified male calls 911 regarding a “particular emergency” concerning his cat who the person claims attacked his 7-month-old baby.
The man says he kicked the cat in the rear and he just “went off over the edge” after which it wouldn’t let the family out of their bedroom.
He said they were “trapped” inside and the cat seemed hostile which could possibly trace back to a history of violence.
The clip features a scary hiss in the background which even the dispatcher on the call acknowledges. The person calling was worried more about stepping out of his room to receive the cops if they arrived as the cat was waiting right outside the door apparently trying to “attack” him which he would have to “fight”.
It’s hard to determine if the 911 call about a domestic cat is authentic, even though it comes across as real. But, the details from the call are eerily similar to a real-life incident that dates back to 2014, when a family in Portland got trapped in their bedroom after their 22-pound Himalayan cat attacked their child.
The cat names Lux ended up staying in a shelter.
911 call about a 22-pound Himalayan cat is scary
The dispatcher asks the man time and again if the call was regarding the child who got attacked by the cat. But, the father assures his child was unharmed except for a few scratches.
However, he was more scared about the cat situation as he couldn’t think of any other way out other than enlisting the cops’ help.
The lady on the other end of the call takes a moment to discuss the situation with her supervisor because they are typically handled by animal control, but the man said he couldn’t get hold of them.
When the cat’s hissing because more evident on the call, the dispatcher tells the man that she would send help immediately.
Pet ‘trying to attack’ his owner terrifies TikTok users
It may seem funny at first, the thought of a grown-up man held hostage by a domestic cat calling for help, but the sharp claws of a cat have caused serious damage in many instances.
To think of it, a 22 pounds Himalayan cat attacking a child is pretty scary and it isn’t surprising that the man was worried about getting attacked too.
Many TikTok users have advised against keeping violent pets around children as their behavior is unpredictable sometimes.
“Maybe your cat has some behavioral issues. I would advise you to keep him away from the child until he isn’t violent anymore,” wrote one.
Another wrote: “I have got whooped by smaller kitties. I can’t imagine fighting a Himalayan cat this big.”
A third person commented: “All of you making fun of the man, have you ever been attacked by a cat? Even the small ones can get you. so shut up.”

‘Skinny Bob’ conspiracy
The video was posted on YouTube in May 2011 by a user called Ivan 0135 and contains footage of an alleged alien who is called ‘Skinny Bob’.
Conspiracists say the clip was leaked from the KGB, who were the main security agency for the Soviet Union from 1954 to 1991.
However, this has never been confirmed any many have also speculated the video is fake or a promotion for a TV show or movie.

Video resurfaces online
In the black-and-white video, a humanoid alien with a big skull can be seen moving around and blinking. The camera then pans up the creature, revealing it is wearing an all-in-one suit and has large dark eyes.
It looks like a Grey Alien, also known as Zeta Reticulans or Roswell Greys, which are frequently described in alien encounters. They are human-like with small bodies, smooth grey-colored skin, large black eyes and big hairless heads.
A description at the start of the video claims it contains real material recorded between 1942 and 1969 and the creature’s height is being measured using a piece of medical equipment called a stadiometer in the final clip.
People are convinced it’s real
The video is one of the internet’s many alien conspiracies, but a lot of people are convinced it’s real.
One person commented on the original clip: “I do not know the origin of this video but it has been fascinating me for years… I find it very very credible and I really hope it’s real.”
“The entity’s body language is incredible and even if it’s not authentic, I am firmly convinced that somewhere out there a similar or identical type of being indeed exists,” they continued.
“10 years after and this is the BEST TRUE evidence for me until now. Hope to see these beings while I am still alive,” another said.
A third person added: “What’s interesting is the medical device it’s being measured with is a stadiometer. Why would someone go to all the trouble of including a stadiometer? It’s a device not commonly found or used. I would have to say this is looking more and more like the real deal!”
“Out of all the alien film footage I’ve seen, this is the only one that feels like someone is looking back, Also one of the few that has real eyelids. Not only does he blink but notice around the eye and forehead, all the correct small muscles move in conjunction with the eyelid movement,” someone else commented.

The latest reality show on The Roku Channel titled UFO Cowboys navigates alleged “alien encounters” and the claims the investigators make throughout the series have garnered a wide range of reviews as the debate over whether extraterrestrials are real or fake continues.

Reality series UFO Cowboy navigates extraordinary happenings
UFO Cowboy is a reality series that follows a group of ranchers called Cowboy Sky Watcher, who investigate alleged extraterrestrial activities in the Western United States.
Roku’s original was released on Friday, July 28, 2023, and the first season consists of 10 episodes, all of which are available to stream on the official website. The first episode is titled Alien Encounters.
Each episode is about 20 minutes long and it follows the cowboys’ firsthand experiences with the so-called aliens and other happenings that haven’t been officially reported.
The cast claims they have been witnessing bizarre aerial phenomena that are strangely linked to cattle going missing randomly from the ranch and other suspicious activities, as they take it upon themselves to investigate the alleged occurrences.
Roku original reviewed by the audience
The majority of the viewers have opined that the claims about extraterrestrials made on UFO Cowboys are mind-boggling and they can’t wait for the next season owing to their fascination with UFOs and aliens.
One viewer shared: “Okay, I finished watching the first season completely. The scenes are unbelievable. I can’t wait for more episodes or another season.”
“Very captivating visuals and concepts, but the first season leaves things unresolved. Please tell me that you’ll do another season or UFO Cowboys.,” shared another.
A third viewer wrote: “There’s a new series on the Roku Channel called UFO Cowboys. Caught a couple of the episodes. Probably hyped and enhanced, but interesting concept nonetheless.”
“There’s a Roku original show called UFO Cowboys and I think it’s my new favorite show though I can’t tell if it’s real or staged” wrote one on X/Twitter.
Cowboy Sky Watchers was formed in 2014
The group of ranchers investigating UFOs and extraterrestrials is headed by Jeff, who claims in the first episode of the Roku series that Cowboy Sky Watchers came to be in 2014.
The show claims: “Since 2014, the C.S.W have investigated 238 different cases of unexplained phenomena throughout the American West.
UFO Cowboys was billed as “unscripted original content” by Roku and the odd things you witness on the show have allegedly occurred along “UFO Superhighway”, which is a region known for so-called “UFO sightings and disturbances, with more supernatural and extraterrestrial sightings in the American West than anywhere else in the United States,” Media Play News reports.
A Reddit thread that has been nicknamed ‘my wife hates my female best friend’ has gone viral on TikTok and everyone is invested in the story.
It’s from the site’s popular ‘Am I the a**hole?’ subreddit which sees people explaining a situation in their life and asking if they are in the wrong.

‘My wife hates my female best friend’ Reddit
The original Reddit post has been deleted, but copies of it are still circling the site. Its original title is “AITA for helping a friend in a bad situation on my wife’s birthday” and it sees a guy discussing issues between his best friend and wife.
“I (28m) have a friend called Sarah (28f) whom I’ve known since childhood and has been there for me my whole life,” the post begins. “I owe her my life and she’s always been my go-to when I’ve had problems. I want to make this clear romantic feelings have never been involved.”
The mystery internet user explains that they have a brother-and-sister relationship, but his wife has never liked Sarah since he had her as his best woman at their wedding. They even almost broke up when she fell pregnant with their first child but worked things out.
Sarah got married last year and her relationship with his wife finally got better, but her partner recently left her while she is pregnant and her mental health has now “spiralled,” so he has stepped up to take her to appointments and help her build the nursery.
The story continues
He explains that his wife has now become very “hostile” towards Sarah which has caused fights. To make up for not being there, he planned his wife a special birthday with a fancy hotel, dinner at an expensive restaurant, a shopping trip and spa visit.
“Unfortunately, Sarah went into labour six weeks early and rang me in a bad state begging me to come to the hospital because she was scared,” the post continues. “I told my wife everything and she started to freak out saying it was her day and Sarah wasn’t going to ruin it.”
He told her to “stop being childish” and said they could celebrate another time instead, but she kicked off and told him not to come home without a paternity test, which hurt him a lot as he’d never cheat on her and things weren’t romantic with Sarah.
“I’m currently with Sarah in the delivery ward,” he explains. “I’ve been getting so many angry calls from both our families and friends unfortunately. I tried getting in touch with my wife but I’m blocked on everything.”
The guy says he feels like helping a vulnerable person in this situation “trumps” a birthday meal but still feels very guilty.
The AITA reddit is the truly the Internet’s greatest gift.

Reddit thread divides TikTok
The Reddit thread has been reposted on TikTok where some people are on the wife’s side.
One person wrote: “Man needs to get his priorities in order.”
“I hope the wife finds someone who puts her first,” said another.
A third person added: “There is absolutely no respect here.”
“Is this guy for real? I hope your wife finds a man who puts her first,” said another.
However, others are saying the wife is too “insecure” and he was only being there for his best friend.
Someone wrote: “Are ya’ll dumb he is there for his best friend and the wife is insecure.”
“I mean they are both in the wrong, she is super insecure about something that’s not a problem and he was not good for prioritising his friend,” said another.
SuperMega’s Matt Watson and DonDRR have broken their silence on Twitter amid their controversy involving Lex Updog’s serious allegations.
Popular YouTube channel SuperMega has reportedly lost over 10,000 subscribers after cosplayer Lex Updog made allegations against the YouTuber’s artist, DonDRRR, accusing him of sexual assault.
Fans are criticizing SuperMega for allegedly not handling the situation appropriately, and one member of the YouTube duo, Matt Watson, has briefly addressed the circumstances on Twitter.

SuperMega controversy: Matt Watson and DonDRRR reply to Lex Updog’s video
On July 27, cosplayer Lex Updog posted a video titled “My Experience With DonDRRR And SuperMega,” during which she detailed an alleged sexual assault experience involving DonDRRR. The model also claimed in the shortened Twitter summary that Watson did not support her and felt that she couldn’t publicize her experiences earlier as she’d have to “explain things that Matt and Ryan clearly didn’t want people to know.”
DonDRRR issued an apology three hours later for “any trauma she may feel regarding our past relationship”, while sharing his side of the story.
The former couple were physically involved in November 2021 and Don claims Lex initially refused to perform a sexual act, but she agreed after he requested again. The intimacy stopped after the cosplayer claimed it was too overwhelming, which he allegedly apologized for.
The artist went on to admit that he was “under no impression that anything traumatizing had occurred” during their intimacy, but “realizes now this was extremely upsetting for her.”
According to Don, he apologized to Lex three times overall during and after the alleged incident, the last being on Discord on August 31, 2022.
As for Watson, he has yet to directly address the allegations, but he has announced the cancellation of his future tour dates.
“Hey guys, with what’s being said right now I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to do a concert so I unfortunately am going to cancel the last two shows. I’ll have a response as soon as possible,” he wrote.
There has been no response from other SuperMega member Ryan Magee.
Lex Updog fans applaud creator for speaking out
Lexi and SuperMega fans alike are rallying behind the cosplayer for bravely publicizing her experiences, and many SuperMega viewers have called it their “final straw”.
“This is just absolutely abysmal,” one wrote. “I hope you can find a way out of this blinding haze. You deserve to heal and smile again.”
A second person added: “While I don’t really watch SuperMega much anymore, I used to be a big fan. This is the second time I’ve heard of a situation where they uninvolve themselves from the situation, ignore it, and try to make it seem like everything is fine.”
“Lex oh my god this is so awful… I’m so sorry to hear this.,” another continued. “You’re incredibly strong for speaking about this. Please take care of yourself. You are always the priority.”
The conversation has expanded onto Reddit, where many users claim SuperMega should have cut ties with Don immediately after Lex’s allegations to preserve the channel’s reputation.
“Cutting a friend out of your life isn’t easy,” one wrote, “but it’s respectable and the right thing to do. I don’t think they would have lost a single fan had they handled this properly.”
Country musician Tyler Childers has the internet going crazy over his new music video for his song In Your Love, which depicts the beautiful love story between two male coalminers in the 1950s. Fans want to know: What did Tyler Childers say about the video?
Fans of the singer have defended him and the video against homophobic comments on Twitter and former fans who claim they will no longer support Tyler due to his video starring a gay romance. Let’s take a look at everything we know about the video…

What is In Your Love about?
Tyler Childers’ new music video for In Your Love depicts the love story of two coalminers in 1950s Appalachia.
In the video, which is just under five minutes long, we see the two men fall in love and face negative reactions from their fellow coalminers.
In the end, their love prevails and they move to a farm in the country to begin a new life together.
The video, written by the Poet Laureate of Kentucky, Silas House, and directed by Bryan Schlam, starsColton Haynes and James Scully star as the couple at the center of the video, Jasper and Matthew.
What did Tyler Childers say about his In Your Love video?
In a recent interview, Tyler explained that the inspiration behind the In Your Love music video was the fact that his cousin growing up, who is like his big brother, is gay.
The musician told NPR: “And he graduated from Northern Kentucky, went to Chicago and never came back.”
“He taught me so much about singing; he was my first tough critic,” Tyler continued.
He, therefore, decided to create the video after thinking about his cousin “not having a music video on CMT that spoke to him”.
Man, that Tyler Childers music video is more emotional that The Notebook and it’s only 4 minutes and 45 seconds long
While many fans praised the video and the story it features, other users on Twitter hit out against Tyler for his music video being about a gay relationship.
Those users claimed that they are no longer fans of the singer and others said they will not be buying his music going forward.
However, real Tyler fans had the perfect responses to the homophobic reactions to the video.
One said: “If you’re outraged about Tyler Childers’ new music video, chances are you’re not actually a fan. He hasn’t exactly been quiet about his beliefs. Listen harder next time.”
Another said: “Hope I can snag some Tyler Childers tickets now that conservatives are boohooing about his new video.”
“if y’all know any homophobes selling tyler childers tickets PLEADE [sic] LET ME KNOW i have Got to see him in concert,” a third tweeted.
A new Reddit post titled “I stuck with my wife through her battle with cancer and now she wants a hall pass” has TikTok users in disbelief. The story was uploaded by a man who was horrified after his wife told him she wanted to sleep with another man.

He describes her as “the most intelligent, thoughtful, caring, loyal person”. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer and had a full hysterectomy.

Reddit user’s desperation over wife wanting ‘hall pass’
The Redditer explained that his wife wanted a “one-time opportunity” to sleep with someone else.
“She said that since her cancer diagnosis her outlook on life has changed and she doesn’t want to be handcuffed from doing things she wants do,” he wrote.
He claims his wife explained that there was a man at her workplace who she has “always had some attraction to” and he is leaving the company so this is the “perfect opportunity” to sleep with someone else.
He wrote: “She said that I could say no of course but that she would “be mad/disappointed at me for an indeterminate amount of time and that it would be confirmation of my male toxicity and insecurity.”
In the morning, his wife said that she would be making the decision for him. She booked a hotel near where her co-workers were throwing a goodbye party for the man and she said would spend the night there with him and “hoped” her husband was be there when she got back.
His wife said she would answer any questions he has about the night after it happened but not before, and won’t tell him anything about the man because she knows he will dwell and obsess over him.

The Reddit post “I stuck with my wife through cancer” was recorded and added onto TikTok, and users simply couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

“I understand,” another said. “All I’m saying is while I would leave her it might take a few days because of shock and the hope it wasn’t real.”
A third wrote: “Dawg she was unloyal which means no trust and without either you can’t have a healthy relationship.”
Another user said that even if the wife didn’t follow through with her plan “the intention is there”.
“It doesn’t matter what she went through, if you truly love your partner there is no excuse for getting with someone else, divorce her,” someone else said.
However, a very small minority of commenters felt differently.
“Honestly, I would be chill with it once, anymore and I’m not happy though,” one wrote.
