Afrobeats superstar Davido, whose full name is David Adeleke, has shared a reflective message about his career after hitting a major milestone on Spotify.

The “OBO” singer recently reached 11 million monthly listeners on the platform for the first time, following the release of his fifth studio album, 5ive. Davido took to social media to express his pride, emphasizing that he built his career from scratch, without the backing of any major industry figures or “musical godfathers” like many of his peers.

Acknowledging the role of divine support and his fans, he posted on X (formerly Twitter), “No co-sign, built from the ground up! Just God, good music, and the best fans! Appreciate you guys fr [for real]!”

On May 7, 2025, legendary Indian actor Rajinikanth showed his full support for Operation Sindoor, the military action recently launched by the Indian Armed Forces. This operation was a direct response to the devastating attack on civilians in Pahalgam, which took the lives of 26 people, including 25 Indians and one Nepali national. The attack, attributed to Pakistan-backed terrorist groups, led to the decision to strike terrorist camps and infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Rajinikanth took to social media, posting a heartfelt message of solidarity: “The fighter’s fight begins… No stopping until the mission is accomplished! The entire NATION is with you. @PMOIndia @HMOIndia #OperationSindoor JAI HIND.” His words echoed the collective sentiment of the nation, rallying behind the Armed Forces and reinforcing the unity in times of crisis.

Operation Sindoor focused on neutralizing the terrorist threat with precision.

Also, the Indian Army targeted nine specific locations used by terrorist groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, ensuring that no Pakistani military sites were involved in the operation. This careful approach was meant to avoid unnecessary civilian casualties and keep the operation measured, yet impactful.

Rajinikanth’s statement didn’t go unnoticed, as other Bollywood stars also voiced their support. Celebrities like Chiranjeevi, Jr. NTR, and Samyuktha took to their social media accounts, offering words of encouragement to the armed forces.

The Pahalgam attack, which had occurred in the scenic Baisaran Valley, deeply shocked the nation, with terrorist activities from groups backed by Pakistan at the heart of the tragedy. In retaliation, Operation Sindoor was designed to take down key terrorist hideouts and prevent any further attacks on Indian soil. The operation was carried out with extreme care, aiming to limit collateral damage while effectively striking at the root of the terrorist networks.

SEVENTEEN’s leader, Choi Seungcheol, known to fans as S.Coups, made a stunning debut at the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, turning heads and making a bold statement both as a fashion icon and global star. The event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, brought together the biggest names in entertainment, art, and fashion — and this year, S.Coups was one of the standouts.

The theme for the evening was “Tailored for You,” which was inspired by the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” Celebrities were encouraged to showcase individuality and personal identity through carefully curated looks. S.Coups took the theme seriously and appeared in a sharp custom suit from BOSS, the international fashion brand that recently named him a global ambassador. His look balanced elegance with personality, featuring subtle details that paid homage to Korean traditional wear while staying sleek and modern.

What made his appearance even more special was how effortlessly he blended culture, fashion, and charm. His outfit stood out — a soft gray ensemble that was minimalist but deeply expressive. It told a story without needing words. Fans and fashion watchers alike praised the design for being both thoughtful and bold, proving that he’s not just a leader on stage but also one in the global fashion scene.

This appearance wasn’t S.Coups’ first brush with luxury fashion. Over the years, he’s worked with major brands like NARS Cosmetics, Neogen, and skincare giant Some By Mi. But being invited to the Met Gala — and owning the red carpet while at it — is a different kind of moment. It signals that he’s being recognized not just for his musical talents but also for his style and global influence.
