For someone who tends to signal about "progressiveness" in America with social issues, it's interesting how Trevor Noah has been pretending to be blind about the xenophobia his country-people are meting on other Africans.
@yorbaee@KLAYCH33 Her situation is not comparable to Tyla in any way at all. Again especially because Tyla and her team are clearly using antagonistic and rivalry marketing gimmicks to keep her in the news and trending. They do it with Ayra, Tems, Chloe, and even Rihanna. Bey never did that.
@yorbaee@KLAYCH33 Beyoncé debut was bigger than what Sabrina Carpenter did with Espresso. That’s the context. Tyla is nothing close to that level of success. And Beyoncé’s smear campaigns included actual reputable outlets publishing hate against her and her label refusing to push her.
Nolan publicly saying he referenced her translations a lot while working on the movie and then her saying this is one of those things that reinforces why so much of the public finds academics insufferably snobbish and elitist
This isn't a mob or a group of vigilantes. These are South African police officers. It's one thing to restrain a suspect who has already been subdued. It's another to wrap a cloth around his head to suffocate him while continuing to hit him.
He died, and the response from a South African female minister was that the "foreigner was resisting arrest."
This man was killed inside his own home. We are witnessing the systematic targeting of Nigerians in South Africa.
In sports, we often say GREATEST OF ALL TIME without knowing what “greatest” really means.
“Greatest” doesn’t necessarily mean the best player.
You can be the best during a certain period and still never be the greatest, like Neymar, Messi, Ronaldinho, etc.
Greatness is simply about being the most significant, influential, admired, and having an enviable career or overall impact on and off the field.
If you look at it from an objective standpoint, CRISTIANO RONALDO is the greatest player we’ve seen in our lifetime.
If a million people grew up idolising Messi, a billion grew up idolising Ronaldo. His impact, influence, and legacy are what make him the GREATEST.
CRISTIANO RONALDO IS THE GOAT. 🐐
@TheFrontRowhd@yorbaee@KLAYCH33 Tyla hasn’t faced any actual hate campaigns. It’s antis on Twitter doing what antis always do. I could even argue that she and her team have a penchant for inviting that hate with her shady comments every now and again. She’s nothing like Beyoncé.
What’s her proper “hit” album?
@yorbaee@KLAYCH33 Comparing her to Beyoncé in any way, shape, or form is revisionist. She hasn’t even seen quarter the hate Bey saw in DC and in her solo, the actual sponsored media play against her, hundreds of hate websites and death threats, etc. And she simply lacks Bey’s repertoire of talent
@yorbaee@KLAYCH33 Beyoncé also has Crazy in Love, Baby Boy, Naughty Girl, Me, Myself & I, and the Closer I Get To You on her first album, and Irreplaceable, Check on It, Deja Vu, Beautiful Liar, Upgrade U, Listen, Ring The Alarm, on her second album.
Tyla has yet to see even Naughty Girl success
@Diamond_PGX@manchess_utd@Dolypizo Imagine an end to end game of just watching teams score: that’s American football or basketball. Even those rely on the smart runs and dribbles to make the goals memorable.
@lefilmara This is one thing I think Zendaya and her team are getting right. She stars in these massive franchises and has this overwhelming visibility, but still chooses to do some of the more indie-leaning, less commercially viable films like Challengers and The Drama.
@manchess_utd@Dolypizo Football is first and foremost entertainment, and dribbling, assisting, and playmaking are what makes football entertaining. Goals help you win, but without the dribbling, assisting, and playmaking, football is drag and grim.
No sé cómo explicarlo pero Messi antes de los 30 le ganaría una eliminatoria a doble partido a Messi después de los 30, pero a partido único Messi después de los 30 se lo lleva.
African society is quietly running an outdated contract: women increasingly compete with men as equals in education, careers, and income, but many still expect men to be default providers in the home.
if you watch 2008 messi dribbling comps it becomes extremely clear that he's beyonddd washed in 2026 and is playing just as you'd expect that player to be playing now two decades later... unfortunately for literally anyone who's ever touched a ball he's jesus christ in a jersey
