Kim Kardashian has revealed a startling health discovery—she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. The 45-year-old reality star got emotional in a preview for the upcoming season of The Kardashians on Hulu, where she’s seen undergoing an MRI scan before telling her family, “There was a little aneurysm.” Her sister Kourtney appears visibly shocked in the clip, responding, “Whoa!” Kim then explains that doctors attributed the aneurysm to stress, a diagnosis that left her reflecting on the overwhelming pressures in her life. The preview also shows her struggling with part of her bar exam and breaking down in tears while discussing her divorce from ex-husband, Kanye “Ye” West. “I’m happy it’s over,” she says. “My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.”
According to Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain that can be life-threatening if it ruptures, though most small aneurysms aren’t serious. Kim has previously shared how stress impacts her health, including flare-ups of her psoriasis since her split from West. In the episode, she admits feeling “pretty tested” while co-parenting their children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, and remains focused on protecting them from public scrutiny.

Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has been appointed as the Chairman of the Osun State Sports Trust Fund. The announcement was made on Wednesday, October 22, by the Osun State Government as part of its renewed drive to revitalize the state’s sports sector and empower young people through sports development. According to the official statement, Davido’s new role will focus on mobilizing both private and public sector support for sports financing, upgrading facilities, and expanding youth participation across the state. The move, the government added, aligns with Governor Ademola Adeleke’s broader vision to modernize Osun’s sports infrastructure and strengthen community engagement through athletics.
Confirming the appointment, the Deputy Governor of Osun State and Commissioner for Sports, Kola Adewusi, said Davido enthusiastically accepted the position, noting that his global influence is expected to attract significant local and international investments into the state’s sports programs. “Davido’s appointment is a strategic step. His influence and passion will help attract funds that will significantly boost sports growth in Osun,” Adewusi said. He also revealed that plans are underway to establish the Osun State Sports Commission to serve as the central body for sports administration and policy implementation. The government further disclosed that renovation work at the Osogbo Township Stadium is nearing completion and will meet Olympic standards upon delivery. Officials say Davido’s leadership marks a major step in using sports as a vehicle for youth empowerment, talent discovery, and community development in Osun State.
3. Trump pardons Binance founder Changpeng Zhao
Breaking: President Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, whose crypto exchange has been boosting the Trump family’s own crypto venture
— The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) October 23, 2025
President Donald Trump has granted a full pardon to Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, who pleaded guilty to a money laundering charge in 2023, the White House announced on Thursday. In a statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump “exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency.” Leavitt added that the president and his advisers believed Zhao’s sentence was excessively harsh, echoing concerns raised during Binance’s extensive lobbying campaign for clemency. The Wall Street Journal first reported the pardon, which could pave the way for Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, to resume operations in the United States.
Trump’s decision marks a significant political and economic statement, aligning with his vow to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet.” The president has maintained close ties to the digital asset industry through his family’s firm, World Liberty Financial, which is hosted on Binance’s platform. Zhao, widely known as “CZ,” was sentenced to four months in prison in May 2024 after admitting that Binance failed to maintain adequate anti-money laundering controls. As part of his plea deal, Zhao stepped down as CEO and paid a $200 million fine, while Binance paid over $4 billion in penalties for regulatory violations. The pardon now positions Zhao for a potential return to the crypto world and signals Trump’s broader embrace of cryptocurrency as a cornerstone of his economic agenda.

Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka’oir are opening up about how they navigate his mental health journey together. The 45-year-old Atlanta rapper, who recently released his third book, Episodes: The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man, revealed that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, two conditions that have deeply shaped his personal life and career. During a candid joint interview on The Breakfast Club on October 20, the couple discussed how they manage his episodes and the warning signs that precede them. Ka’oir, 40, explained that she has a “system” in place to protect her husband during those periods, including taking control of his phone and social media. “I delete everything, even if I gotta change his password,” she said. “Before the episodes come, I catch it. That’s why he hasn’t had another one.”
Gucci Mane, born Radric Davis, described his episodes as feeling like a “psychosis” or being in a “warped world,” often hearing voices and believing people were against him. Ka’oir said she would enter “mother mode” to ensure he received the care he needed, even during the most difficult moments. The rapper shared that a major episode during the COVID-19 pandemic pushed him to seek professional help, attend therapy, and take prescribed medication. “I got to really just hold myself accountable and take care of my health,” he said. “If I have to see a therapist, if I have to take medicine, I’ll do what I need to do to get better.” Now focused on maintaining stability and sobriety, Gucci credits therapy and his wife’s unwavering support for his recovery. “You got to do the work yourself if you want to really get better,” he said. “People can want it for you, but you still got to want it more than they do.”

Lionel Messi has officially extended his contract with Inter Miami through 2028, the club announced Thursday, ending months of speculation over the Argentine superstar’s future. The 2024 MLS MVP’s decision is a major boost for both Inter Miami and Major League Soccer, whose global profile has surged since Messi arrived in 2023. Inter Miami shared the news with a “HE’S HOME” post on social media, featuring Messi signing his new deal inside the club’s under-construction Freedom Park stadium. The $1 billion, privately funded venue, located near Miami International Airport, is set to open next year and will serve as a new home for Messi and the Herons’ 25,000 fans.
Messi’s impact on the club has been transformative, scoring 50 goals and providing 35 assists in 53 league appearances. Since joining Inter Miami, he has led the team to the 2023 Leagues Cup, the 2024 Supporters’ Shield, and secured the 2025 Golden Boot with 29 goals. Manager Javier Mascherano praised Messi’s influence, calling him “very, very competitive” and noting that his leadership drives the team’s success. While his club future is now secure, Messi’s international plans remain uncertain. The 38-year-old told TyC Sports he has yet to decide on participating in the 2026 World Cup, saying it will depend on his fitness and form. “When I feel good, I enjoy it. But when I don’t, I’d rather not be there,” Messi said. If he repeats as MLS MVP, Messi would become the first player in league history to win the award in consecutive seasons, another milestone in his storied career.
