Elvira’s Story Sparks Controversy; Ariana Grande Responds
During a Q&A session at Knott’s Berry Farm on October 18, Elvira, known as the “Halloween Queen,” shared a story about Ariana Grande that stirred controversy. She recalled that Grande attended one of her events with 20 guests and requested photos, which Elvira happily provided. However, Grande reportedly declined to take a photo with Elvira, saying, “No, I don’t really do that.” The crowd reacted negatively to this, and fellow panelists made jokes at Grande’s expense.
After the event, Elvira posted about the encounter on Instagram, leading to a flood of critical comments aimed at Grande. In response, Grande expressed her disappointment and explained that she didn’t remember the meeting because she had an anxiety attack that day, making her uncomfortable in large crowds.
She apologized if her actions had offended Elvira and thanked her for being kind to her mother. Although Elvira liked Grande’s comment, she has not directly replied. Fans are divided over the incident, with some supporting Elvira and others highlighting Grande’s struggles with anxiety, particularly in light of the Manchester bombing that had occurred shortly before the meeting. Many hope the two can resolve their differences.
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.’”
