Ayesha Curry Says Bye To Viral Blond Wig: “I Need To Scratch My Scalp”

Whether she’s being labeled a hypocrite for showing skin in a bikini after vowing to keep the “good stuff covered up” five years prior, or just clapping back at a troll that called her a “real life farm animal,” it seems like popular basketball wife Ayesha Curry is always getting hate thrown her way. The most recent incident revolved around a blond wig that has since gone viral for more reasons than one — some good, some bad, but mostly just unnecessary.

As she stated in the initial reveal, the look was simply temporary and done as an experiment of sorts — you know, what any women should be able to do without public scrutiny. However, many are assuming that she’s ready to give it up due to the countless comments of criticism she received, mainly those who accused her of trying to appear “more white” as a fair-skinned woman of color. According to Ayesha herself though, getting rid of the ‘do is mainly for her own comfort. “The blonde has been so much fun! I need to scratch my scalp a little though, you feel me?” she wrote playfully to her over 7 million IG followers. She finished off her note by adding, “I wish I could actually dye my hair this shade but I know it would require way too much maintenance. Who can relate? #funwhileitlasted.”

While the hubby Steph has given his approval from the start, it does seem like she was a bit bullied by the internet into getting rid of it in less than a week. Of course, she’s allowed to do whatever she wants with her hair — hopefully the next move is Amber Rose bald so people can just leave her alone altogether!

Check out Ayesha Curry rocking both light and dark hair with style below:

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Just Swept The Emmys

Bad Bunny is officially an Emmy winner — and not just once. At Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show swept every single category it was nominated in, all seven of them, making it the most-decorated nominee of the night.

The headline win was Outstanding Variety Special (Live), a category the show became only the third halftime show ever to claim. From there it just kept going: music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction and camerawork, and directing all went home with the Puerto Rican star’s team. There’s technically an eighth trophy with his name attached, too, though it won’t land in his hands — the “Saturday Night Live” episode he hosted last season separately won Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program.

The sweep is good news for Jay-Z as well. As an executive producer on the halftime show, he now has two Emmys to his name, having previously won for producing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance in 2025 — the show that, until Saturday, held the record for most Emmys won by a Super Bowl performance.

Bad Bunny wasn’t the only one having a night. Sabrina Carpenter picked up her first Emmy as a performer and executive producer on “The Muppet Show,” edging out Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour | The Final Show” for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). The Billy Joel HBO miniseries “And So It Goes” won for sound mixing on a nonfiction program, and 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” took home picture editing honors. A big weekend for live spectacle, all around.

Rod Wave Hints at NBA YoungBoy Stadium Tour as Fans Dream of Joint Run

Rod Wave has got hip hop fans excited after seemingly teasing a massive stadium tour with NBA YoungBoy. The idea came after DJ Akademiks said on Twitter that he wanted to see the two rappers work together on a tour or maybe even a collab project. NBA YoungBoy is overseas right now, but fans haven’t stopped wondering what a joint run between the two would look like.

Akademiks suggested the two should collaborate on an album or EP and called for a YB & Rod Wave tour. Rod Wave responded with a brief message that he’d already spoken with YoungBoy about taking the tour to stadiums. The response immediately sparked excitement about the two artists performing together. Over the years, Rod Wave and NBA YoungBoy have developed chemistry, with both artists building passionate, loyal fan bases in their corners of hip hop.

But a joint stadium tour would be logistically difficult. YoungBoy has left the United States, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of the country for good, and he could still be away long enough for a major concert run. The prospect is especially tantalizing for fans, as major headlining artists rarely join forces for extensive joint tours. So if the plans do go through, a big run with Rod Wave and YoungBoy might be a moment for their audiences.

Such an endeavor could also be notable for Rod Wave with his experience with concert promotion. It’s said that his Mainstay Touring company booked his own shows and Ye’s SoFi Stadium concerts earlier this year. Another big opportunity for the company would be a longer concert series with YoungBoy.

YoungBoy’s recent “MASA” tour and accompanying documentary also show his ability to draw strong fan engagement and attention around a live project. But the potential stadium tour remains hypothetical. Rod Wave’s comment gives fans something to look forward to, but it doesn’t mention a formal joint tour announcement.
