Actress Halle Bailey took to social media on November 6 to express frustration over her ex-boyfriend DDG featuring their 11-month-old son, Halo, in a Twitch livestream with popular streamer Kai Cenat. Bailey, who is currently out of town, stated she was neither informed nor consented to the livestream appearance, in which Halo was seen by millions of viewers. On X (formerly Twitter), she voiced her concerns, writing, “I don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight. I wasn’t told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people.” She further emphasized her protective role as Halo’s mother, stating that her boundaries were disregarded.
Bailey, who has been open about her struggles with postpartum challenges, also highlighted the importance of respecting her boundaries during this sensitive time. In a follow-up message, she added, “As a woman experiencing severe postpartum, there are boundaries that I wish to be respected. Nobody knows what someone is going through until they snap.” Shortly after these posts, Bailey deactivated her X and Instagram accounts. This comes a month after DDG publicly announced their split, where he affirmed their love and respect for each other despite the breakup. As co-parents, he asked for support as they adjust to their new roles, but the recent incident has stirred up questions about privacy and consent regarding their young son.

Nigerian singing sensation Fave has been announced as Spotify’s EQUAL artist for November 2024, marking a major achievement in her rising career. Known for her soulful voice and distinctive style, Fave first gained attention with her viral track “N.B.U.” in 2020 and has since released hits like her Riddim 5 EP and this week’s highly anticipated “Dutty Love.” Collaborating with artists such as Olamide, Simi, Phyno, and Davido, Fave’s feature on Davido’s “Kante” from the Timeless album was among Spotify’s Top 10 most-streamed songs in Nigeria in 2023.
As the EQUAL artist of the month, Fave gains a global stage to share her voice and artistry. Spotify’s EQUAL program celebrates female artists breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry by boosting their visibility. Reflecting on her journey, Fave shared, “Being a woman in the music industry can feel like an uphill climb, but it’s made me more determined.” With a growing international fanbase, she is not only a powerful voice in Nigerian music but also an ambassador for African music worldwide.

Vice President Kamala Harris formally conceded the 2024 presidential election to President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, urging her supporters to maintain hope and continue “fighting for our democracy.” Acknowledging the disappointment of her supporters, Harris assured them that America’s promise would endure despite the outcome. “The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” she said. “But hear me when I say … the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
Harris went on to outline a vision for a future where fundamental rights are preserved, emphasizing continued efforts toward gender equality, gun safety, and respect for individual freedoms. She encouraged young Americans to work toward a better world, whether through civic engagement or simply by showing kindness in daily life. President Joe Biden, who chose not to seek reelection and endorsed Harris as his successor, called her vice presidency “the best decision I made” in a statement following her speech, commending her resilience and commitment to unity even in defeat.

France’s national football team will face Israel and Italy in their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches without star captain Kylian Mbappe, a “one-off” decision announced by manager Didier Deschamps on Thursday. Deschamps explained the choice came after discussions with Mbappe, noting the 25-year-old forward, who joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain this past summer, had also been excluded from October’s squad as a precaution following an injury. While Deschamps clarified that the decision applies only to this set of games, he emphasized it was a strategic move, adding, “Kylian wanted to come,” suggesting both parties were aligned on the temporary exclusion.
Since his transfer to Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe has struggled, scoring eight goals in 15 games and just once in his last five. This comes amid Real Madrid’s challenges, including a 4-0 defeat to Barcelona and a nine-point gap behind the La Liga leaders. Despite these setbacks, Mbappe remains a top scorer for France with 48 goals in 86 appearances. Fans hope a short break will help him regain his sharpness for both club and country.
