Cardi B has ignited speculation about a potential breakup with NFL star Stefon Diggs after fans noticed she deleted all photos of him from her Instagram page. The couple, who first sparked dating buzz after being spotted together on Valentine’s Day and later confirmed their relationship with a yacht photo on Memorial Day weekend, had only gone Instagram-official in early June. The move comes just days after Cardi announced the release date for her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I The Drama?,prompting some fans to believe the social media cleanup is more about a marketing strategy than a romantic fallout.
While some fans believe the pair have quietly ended their relationship, others are convinced it’s a calculated move to shift focus onto Cardi’s upcoming album rollout. “No relationship based on getting on your ex’s nerves lasts long,” one skeptic wrote on X, referencing her split from ex-husband Offset. Others, however, pointed out that the photos may have been archived rather than deleted, with one supporter claiming, “She was literally just with him.” Currently, the Bronx rapper is in Europe for Paris Fashion Week, where she made headlines by carrying a live raven to the Schiaparelli show; an image that also appears on her new album cover.

A 77-year-old bedridden man in Texas, the US, was rescued by his son-in-law after 911 failed to respond when the floodwater began gushing into his San Angelo home.

The death toll from the devastating floods that swept through central Texas has climbed to 82, with dozens still unaccounted for as search and rescue efforts intensify. Among the hardest-hit areas is Kerr County, where 68 bodies, including 28 children, have been recovered—many of them from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls. Sheriff Larry Leitha confirmed that 10 more girls and a counselor remain missing. Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that at least 41 people are still unaccounted for statewide, warning that more lives may be at risk as heavy rains persist into Tuesday.
The flooding began after torrential rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to overflow on July 4, engulfing communities with little warning. Criticism has mounted over the apparent failure to evacuate residents promptly, particularly in Kerr County. President Donald Trump extended his condolences and said he plans to visit the region on Friday, having already authorized FEMA assistance. Meanwhile, concerns have been raised over the administration’s climate research cuts, with experts warning that reduced forecasting capacity could hinder future disaster preparedness. Governor Abbott declared Sunday a statewide day of prayer, joined by Pope Leo XIV in offering prayers for the victims and their families.

Theo Hernandez is set to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal after AC Milan agreed to a €25 million deal for the French full-back. After initially rejecting interest from the Gulf club, Hernandez changed his stance following the collapse of potential moves within Europe, including a return to Atletico Madrid. The 27-year-old has agreed to personal terms and will reportedly earn €20 million per year in Saudi Arabia. He is expected to undergo his medical in the coming days as he links up with new Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi, who recently left Inter Milan.
With Hernandez’s contract set to expire in 2026, Milan opted to cash in now rather than risk losing him for free next summer. The Rossoneri will now turn their focus to finding a suitable replacement, with Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko among the names being considered. At Al-Hilal, Hernandez joins a growing list of European stars, including Ruben Neves, Joao Cancelo, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, as Saudi clubs continue their aggressive recruitment drive.
