Outrage Over Sexyy Red’s MLK Tribute Leads to Apology
Sexyy Red is known for her bold style, but her recent attempt to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t go well. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, she posted an AI-generated image of herself with Dr. King, placed in what looked like a nightclub party scene. While she likely intended to celebrate him, the reaction was unfavorable, especially after Dr. Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Dr. King, criticized the post.
Dr. Bernice King found the image “distasteful” and argued that it did not honor her father’s legacy properly. She pointed out that having Dr. King in a party setting undermined his significant contributions to civil rights. On Twitter, she said, “This is not how we honor my father,” and urged Sexyy Red to take the image down immediately.
In response to the backlash, Sexyy Red removed the post and apologized sincerely. She stated that she respects Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and never planned to hurt anyone. “I apologize to his family and all I hurt with my post,” she said. Many fans appreciated her quick admission of the mistake and praised her honesty. However, this incident has sparked a larger discussion about how celebrities should pay tribute to significant figures.
This situation highlights how quickly social media can elevate a public figure’s mistakes. For Sexyy Red, this experience taught her a valuable lesson. Although Sexyy Red’s apology may not erase the negative feelings, it shows the importance of accountability for one’s actions. As the situation calms down, it’s clear that while people on the internet might forget quickly, the lessons learned from this moment could influence how artists honor historical figures in the future. For Sexyy Red, there’s hope that this mistake encourages a more thoughtful approach to influential people

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
