Prada brand CEO Gianfranco D’Attis is set to leave the Italian luxury fashion house at the end of the month, the company announced on Sunday. His departure, described as a “mutual agreement,” marks another high-profile leadership shift in the luxury fashion industry. Prada Group CEO Andrea Guerra will step in as interim brand CEO following D’Attis’s exit. This adds to a growing list of executive changes across major fashion houses in recent months.
D’Attis’s departure from Prada as the CEO comes amid a wave of restructuring within the luxury goods sector, as brands navigate shifting consumer behavior and rising prices. Just last week, Kering—owner of Gucci—appointed Renault’s Luca de Meo as CEO, replacing long-time head François-Henri Pinault. Similarly, Dior, Balenciaga, Chanel, and others have recently reshuffled creative and executive leadership in hopes of revitalizing shopper interest and driving future growth. Prada’s move signals a continued strategic recalibration as legacy brands adapt to a rapidly evolving market.

Nigerian rappers Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez have stirred up the music scene with a heated online clash over who deserves the crown as Nigeria’s best rapper. The tension erupted on X (formerly Twitter) after Blaqbonez dismissed online spats, urging Odumodublvck to take the battle to the studio instead. “ENTER STUDIO & GET TF OUT MY MENTIONS,” he tweeted, emphasizing that real rap wars aren’t fought on social media. In a sharp retort, Odumodublvck fired back, questioning Blaqbonez’s credibility and mental toughness, saying, “I AM EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO BE NIGGA. YOUR SPIRIT IS WEAK.”
The exchange has since ignited a frenzy among fans, with timelines flooded with opinions, memes, and polls debating who truly reigns supreme in the Nigerian rap game. Supporters on both sides have made strong cases, with some praising Blaqbonez’s versatility and others hailing Odumodublvck’s street dominance and cultural impact. One user even referenced Davido’s past praise of Odumodublvck as evidence of his rap supremacy. While neither artist has announced plans to take the feud into the studio with diss tracks, the spat has reignited discussions around rap credibility, industry respect, and the state of Nigerian hip-hop.

Iran launched a barrage of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, in what it described as a “mighty and successful response” to America’s bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities previously. While no casualties were reported, the attack marked a dramatic escalation in the regional conflict already inflamed by ongoing Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Qatar condemned the attack, calling it a “flagrant violation” of its sovereignty and said most of the missiles were intercepted. Iran’s state television announced the assault with martial music and a statement that the number of missiles matched the number of bombs dropped by the U.S., signaling an attempt to frame the retaliation as proportional.
Though Iran claimed the base was chosen due to its location outside populated areas, the broader message was clear: it will respond forcefully to what it views as acts of aggression. The missile strike came just hours after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian asserted on social media that Tehran was not seeking war, but would defend itself against invasion. Meanwhile, tensions deepened as Israel expanded its campaign against symbolic sites in Tehran, including a prison known for housing political dissidents. With U.S. military personnel still in range of Iranian missiles across the region and Israel vowing further strikes, fears of a wider war continue to mount.
4. Jay-Z joins Beyoncé on stage in Paris for first performance together in seven years
Jay-Z surprised fans with a rare on-stage appearance alongside Beyoncé during her Cowboy Carter Tour stop at the Stade de France in Paris on June 22. The unannounced reunion of the power couple sent shockwaves through the audience, as they delivered an electrifying set of their classic collaborations, including “Crazy in Love,” “Drunk in Love,” and “Partition.” A viral video from the night captured the moment Jay-Z stepped into the spotlight, rapping to a roaring crowd as Beyoncé danced by his side, signaling their first live performance together in over seven years.
The moment quickly lit up social media, with fans calling it one of the most iconic highlights of the tour and a landmark moment in their intertwined musical journey. Married since 2008, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are often hailed as music royalty, and their surprise performance felt like a triumphant chapter in their enduring legacy. With the Paris crowd still buzzing, many are now wondering if more joint appearances are on the horizon for the superstar duo.

Victor Osimhen is at the center of yet another dramatic transfer saga after Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal returned with an even more lucrative offer for the Napoli striker. According to Corriere dello Sport, Osimhen has been offered an eye-watering €40 million per year over three years, with an optional fourth, bringing the total package to a staggering €160 million. Napoli, who are ready to cash in as they plan a squad overhaul, are prepared to let the Nigerian forward go if his €75 million release clause is activated. This latest development comes just as Turkish champions Galatasaray grow increasingly anxious over stalled talks, despite believing they had reached an agreement with Napoli.
While Osimhen previously turned down Al-Hilal’s advances, the revised proposal has reignited negotiations, with all parties now awaiting the striker’s decision. The 26-year-old has remained tight-lipped about his future, stating during a recent visit to Nigeria that he is focused on enjoying his holidays. He also took part in a charity match organised by teammate William Troost-Ekong but offered no hints about his next move. If Osimhen chooses to accept Al-Hilal’s mega-deal, the transfer could proceed swiftly without further negotiation, putting an end to the growing uncertainty surrounding one of this summer’s most high-profile transfer pursuits.
