Ryan Garcia’s Apology and Hawaiian Party, Is the Boxer Truly Changing His Ways
Boxer Ryan Garcia has been at the center of a storm of controversy, largely stemming from alleged nasty texts to his ex-wife, Andrea Celina, and accusations of trashing her home. In response, Garcia posted an apology video on social media directly addressing Celina. “I came on here just to say I’m sorry,” he began. “Andrea, you’re the mother of my children and somebody I’ll always have love and respect for. I retract all my statements about her. She never stole money from me, she never did wrong by me, she never cheated on me. We weren’t together, so right there, she’s not a cheater. She’s a great woman.”
Despite promising change in the coming months, Garcia’s actions speak differently. Just a day after his public apology, he was seen shirtless and partying in Hawaii clubs. This follows a series of antics and smaller headlines that pale in comparison to his more severe controversies. For instance, his recent association with Wiz Khalifa sparked backlash, perceived as a desperate attempt to regain public favor, particularly within the Black community.
Garcia’s reputation took a severe hit following a racist Twitter rant where he used the n-word, mocked George Floyd, disparaged Muslims, and attacked various groups and individuals. These actions led to his expulsion from the World Boxing Council and compounded his suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. “Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” stated Mauricio Sulaiman. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan’s well-being. He has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”
Even his father expressed concern, revealing to Fight Hub TV, “I haven’t spoken to Ryan in a long time. He speaks to his mother more than me. But it’s okay, he’ll call me when he wants to. I would love for him to get some type of therapy when it comes to his drinking. I’m being real. He says he can control it. I hope he can. But if he doesn’t… Get that therapy so he can stop.”
Ryan Garcia’s recent actions cast doubt on his commitment to change, leaving fans and critics alike questioning his sincerity.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

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.
