Dwyane Wade is stepping off the court and into the fragrance world as the new face of Aramis, one of the most iconic men’s cologne brands. The NBA legend, now 43, has officially launched his cologne line in partnership with the brand, fulfilling a personal dream he’s held for years. “It has always been a dream of mine to be in a fragrance campaign,” Wade told Vogue ahead of the 2025 Met Gala, where he quietly debuted the launch in a sleek Prada suit. Known for his polished style and attention to detail, Wade described the fragrance as a daily essential in his routine: “I want other people to have a memory of me through scent.”
Wade’s entry into the fragrance space is both personal and purposeful. Growing up in Chicago, his first scent inspiration came from his father, who wore Cool Water, sparking his appreciation for the power of fragrance. Wade aims to create something timeless and memorable with his new Aramis scent—equal parts classic and cool. The launch also reflects Wade’s expanding presence in the lifestyle and grooming space, as he hinted at future ventures like a potential nail care line. At the Met Gala, he paired his debut with a tailored look and chrome-finished manicure by celebrity nail artist Thuy Nguyen, reinforcing his commitment to self-expression and legacy-building through style.

Nigerian rapper Lil Kesh has revealed his ongoing battle with mental health, opening up about self-diagnosing with ADHD and managing anxiety since childhood. Speaking on The Esther Show, the artist admitted he has long experienced symptoms often dismissed as simple hyperactivity but believes his struggles go deeper. “Everyone has a little of it in them, but it becomes a problem when it turns into a disorder,” he said. Lil Kesh also shared how emotional confusion often heightens his anxiety, but gaining clarity helps him regain control. “Once I know what I’m dealing with… the anxiety goes away,” he noted.
Despite his candor, Lil Kesh admitted he has never undergone therapy, citing distrust and the poor state of mental health services in Nigeria. “When I needed it the most, I wasn’t privileged to get it,” he explained. Reflecting more broadly, the rapper also criticized the country’s systemic failures, highlighting the slow pace of governance reforms and comparing Nigeria’s chaotic infrastructure to the more structured systems he has witnessed in the UK. “On the roads in Nigeria, everyone is mad. It’s lawless,” he said, urging citizens to manage expectations while continuing to push for progress.

The UK government is considering tighter visa restrictions for nationals from various countries, including Nigeria, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, to curb “abuse of the immigration system.” Under new plans reported by The Times, individuals from these countries may face more difficulty securing work and study visas, as ministers grow concerned about legal migrants switching to asylum claims—a route that could lead to permanent residency. The Home Office is expected to outline a comprehensive reform strategy in its upcoming Immigration White Paper, aimed at restoring control over what it describes as a “broken” system.
While official data on visa overstaying has not been published since 2020, ministers claim that rising asylum claims from certain nationalities raise red flags. Last year, 2,841 Nigerians claimed asylum in the UK, alongside 10,542 Pakistanis and 2,862 Sri Lankans, out of a total of more than 108,000 applicants, marking the highest number since 1979. Critics, however, warn that the policy may have a limited effect on reducing overall asylum claims. Experts like Prof. Jonathan Portes argue the move is more symbolic than practical, meant to deter perceived abuse rather than address the root causes of migration. Full details of the new restrictions are expected to be revealed later this month.

Doja Cat brings her signature flair to Marc Jacobs’ new “Staycation” commercial, unveiled on Monday, May 5, as part of the brand’s pre-fall 2025 campaign. The playful spot also debuts her previously teased track “Crack,” and features a preview of her upcoming single “Jealous Type,” a retro-tinged anthem set to appear on her forthcoming fifth studio album, Vie. With vibrant visuals and an escapist summer vibe, the campaign blurs the line between reality and fantasy, turning a gritty construction site into a high-fashion playground.
In the campaign, Marc Jacobs showcases its latest Dual Bags alongside shimmering baby tees, jewel-studded mini dresses, and textured mini skirts, capturing a carefree, sun-soaked aesthetic. “Being on vacation isn’t about where you go—it’s about how you show up,” Doja Cat said in a statement. “This Marc Jacobs campaign is about living life and serving looks.” Merging fashion with music, the “Staycation” spot reflects Doja’s bold creative vision, offering a sneak peek into her evolving sound and unapologetic style. The commercial is now live on social media.

Italian midfielder Jorginho has signed a three-year pre-contract with Brazilian giants Flamengo, according to reports. The 33-year-old is set to join the Rio de Janeiro-based club this summer after his current deal with Arsenal expires. Jorginho, who joined the Gunners from Chelsea in January 2023, will sign a contract that runs until 2028, marking his return to South American football for the first time since leaving Brazil as a teenager.
Despite initially playing a key role at Arsenal, Jorginho’s minutes have dwindled under Mikel Arteta this season, with only nine Premier League starts in the 2024–25 campaign. Still, he managed to captain the side in April against Brentford, despite battling a chest injury. His move to Flamengo sets him up for a fresh chapter in his career, including a likely appearance in the FIFA Club World Cup later this year, where Flamengo are expected to face Chelsea, Jorginho’s former club, and Tunis.
