Cardi B has responded to recent cheating allegations from her estranged husband, Offset, in a heated Instagram Live session on Wednesday night, September 25.

In response, Cardi revealed that Offset had been trying to contact her throughout the weekend after she blocked him, allegedly upset over her upcoming trip to Paris for Fashion Week.

A Spanish court has sentenced a fan to one year in prison and issued a three-year stadium ban for racially abusing football players Vinicius Junior and Samu Chukwueze. The offender received a six-month sentence for the abuse directed at Vinicius during a match between Mallorca and Real Madrid on February 5, 2023. An additional six-month sentence was imposed for the racially charged comments made toward Chukwueze in a subsequent match between Mallorca and Villarreal on February 18, 2023. This ruling marks a significant stance against racism in football, highlighting the legal repercussions of such behavior.
Racial abuse has been a persistent problem in La Liga, with Vinicius Jr. being one of the most vocal critics of the league’s handling of the issue. The Brazilian forward has expressed his discontent with the Spanish football authorities for what he perceives as a failure to effectively combat racism within the sport. Recently, he opened up about feeling “targeted” by racist fans, underscoring the urgent need for more robust measures to protect players and foster an inclusive environment in football.
