Lady Gaga Nears Career Milestone With One More Award to Join EGOT Club
Lady Gaga is now just one award away from joining the very exclusive EGOT club, which includes winners of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. On May 20, 2025, she added a Sports Emmy to her collection for her powerful Super Bowl LIX performance of “Hold My Hand.” The award recognized her music direction during a heartfelt tribute to the victims of the January 1 terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Gaga performed the song on piano right on Bourbon Street, backed by a local gospel choir, and shared the stage with sports legends Tom Brady and Michael Strahan.
Before this Emmy, Gaga had already won 14 Grammys and took home an Oscar in 2019 for “Shallow,” the hit song from A Star Is Born. That year was historic for her, as she became the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Grammy all in the same year. The Sports Emmy now brings her closer than ever to EGOT status — she just needs a Tony Award to complete the set.
Lady Gaga’s journey to EGOT has been marked by remarkable milestones across music, film, and television. Her Grammy wins go back to 2009 when she first rose to fame with “Just Dance,” and she continues to rack up accolades for her recent works, including songs like “Die With a Smile.”
While the Tony Award has so far eluded her, Gaga’s ongoing projects and undeniable talent make it clear she’s within reach of this rare achievement. Fans and industry watchers are excited to see if she will soon claim the final award needed to officially become an EGOT winner, a title held by fewer than 30 people worldwide.
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.’”
