Seventeen-Year-Old Rapper Nettspend Makes His First Fashion Appearance at Miu Miu’s Paris Show
Seventeen-year-old rapper Nettspend, born Gunner Shepardson, has swiftly risen in the music scene with his distinctive sound and style. Recently, he expanded his creative pursuits by stepping onto the runway for Miu Miu during Paris Fashion Week.
Nettspend’s journey began in Richmond, Virginia, where his unique blend of AutoTuned vocals and beats reminiscent of classic ringtones garnered attention, especially among Gen Z audiences. Since his 2023 debut, he has cultivated a dedicated following, leading to collaborations with notable figures in both music and fashion.
At the Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2025 show, Nettspend showcased a chic ensemble featuring a tawny wool set paired with pointy leather boots. His distinctive hairstyle and rectangular glasses added to his edgy aesthetic, seamlessly blending his musical persona with high fashion. This appearance aligns with Miu Miu’s tradition of integrating celebrity figures into their shows, placing Nettspend alongside personalities like Troye Sivan and Willem Dafoe.
The event attracted a diverse audience, including rapper Young Miko, K-pop stars Momo of TWICE and Wonyoung of IVE, singer Ella Gross, Thai artist MINNIE, and rapper A$AP Rocky.

Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
