K‑Pop fans have once again shown massive love to their favorite groups, with ATEEZ and ENHYPEN topping the latest global fan rankings for the week of June 30 to July 6, 2025. These rankings, done weekly by Kpopmap, are purely based on fan support. Every week, fans from different parts of the world vote for their favorite idols by hitting the heart button on the platform. At the end of the week, those votes are counted, and the groups with the most love take the top spots.
For this past week, ATEEZ came out on top, showing just how strong their global fanbase is. The group, known for their powerful stage presence and unique sound, continues to win over fans across continents. Right behind them is ENHYPEN, another group that has been making waves in the K‑Pop scene. Their fans, often called ENGENEs, have been consistent with their support, helping the group secure the second spot.
These weekly rankings have become a fun way for fans to show support beyond streaming and buying albums. Just by clicking a heart, they contribute to their idols’ success and global visibility. The previous week’s results were similar, with both ATEEZ and ENHYPEN dominating the top positions. Voting for the next round is already on, and fans are expected to keep pushing for their favorites.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
