Image
  Drake has denied allegations that he copied the chorus of “Janice STFU” from producer Aviel Calev Hirschfield, who has filed a lawsuit against the rapper. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Hirschfield, professionally known as Avi, alleges that he recorded the hook in January 2026 and sent it to producers who had worked with Drake. He claims the song released by Drake in May contained the same lyrics and melody.

FIFA fines Spain $20,000 for anti-Muslim chants at Egypt game condemned by Lamine Yamal

Image
  FIFA has upheld a $20,000 fine and a partial stadium closure against the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) following anti-Muslim chanting by supporters during an international friendly against Egypt in Barcelona. The governing body’s appeals panel confirmed the decision following an initial verdict by disciplinary judges. The sanction stems from a 0–0 draw played at RCDE Stadium on March 31, during which sections of the crowd directed discriminatory chants toward Muslim spectators in the 10th and 47th minutes. Spanish winger Lamine Yamal publicly condemned the chants on social media, describing the behavior as ignorant, disrespectful, and racist. In its ruling, FIFA’s disciplinary panel noted that harsh sanctions were necessary to deter discriminatory behavior, while acknowledging that Spanish officials acted promptly to condemn the incident, cooperate with match delegates, and identify responsible individuals. Under the terms of the penalty, the RFEF must pay $20,000 and ...
