Drake has reacted to his absence from the 2027 Coachella lineup after weeks of speculation. He expressed his disappointment in the comments section of Coachella’s official Instagram announcement.

The reaction came after organisers revealed the festival’s 2027 performers on November 11. Earlier reports suggested that Drake was in discussions with Coachella organisers about a possible headlining spot at the 2027 festival. However, his involvement had not been confirmed, and he was only being considered as a potential headliner. The announcement of the 2027 lineup without his name has since prompted reactions from fans. 

Drake responded directly to the official lineup post with a crying emoji. However, he did not provide further explanation.

The 2027 edition will instead feature Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA as its three headliners. The three acts will headline the Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows during both weekends of the festival in April.

Drake’s absence is notable because he previously headlined Coachella in 2015. He also made a surprise appearance during Future’s performance in 2017, when they performed their collaboration, Jumpman.

However, neither Drake nor festival organisers have confirmed whether there were formal discussions about attending the show. Drake has not explained the meaning behind his emoji reaction. 

Madonna is among the celebrities added, with a performance scheduled in the dance tent. Other performers include Phoebe Bridgers, Weezer, Robyn, Steve Lacy, Kehlani, Don Toliver, Zara Larsson, JISOO and Daddy Yankee.

The festival will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, from April 9 to 11 and April 16 to 18, 2027. Tickets will go on sale on November 13.

Meanwhile, Drake has confirmed plans to go on tour in 2027. He revealed this during an interview in September. 

“Obviously, tour is coming, and there’s other things on the horizon, some big shows. I mean, of course, we’ll be out [in] 2027 to see everybody again across the world.” 

Chris Brown‘s former partner, Diamond Brown, wants access to the singer’s financial records. She wants increased child support for their four-year-old daughter, Lovely Symphani Brown. Diamond seeks information on how much the R&B star earns. 

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Diamond has subpoenaed Chris’s business managers, requesting access to his finances. However, they have objected to the request.

Diamond estimates that Chris has a net worth of approximately $50 million. She claims he currently provides around $7,000 monthly but believes he should pay at least $30,000 in child support. She says the financial documents are necessary to determine what he can afford to contribute.

The request follows an earlier filing in which Diamond outlined her proposed monthly expenses for herself and Lovely. Her proposed budget exceeded $45,000 and included $15,000 for housing, $3,500 for childcare and $2,000 for college savings. 

Diamond reported earning approximately $1,500 monthly. She told the court that she had about $10,000 in cash and savings.

In her filing, she acknowledged that Chris provides housing for her and their daughter, covers utility bills and had purchased her a Tesla. However, she argued that the existing financial arrangement does not meet the expenses she has outlined.

Chris has disputed her account of the financial support he provides. Following the publication of Diamond’s court filing in October, Chris addressed the allegations on Instagram Stories. He claimed that he pays $10,000 monthly, covers all her expenses and has provided two cars, alongside housing, schooling and medical costs. 

“I LITERALLY PAY FOR EVERYTHING,” he wrote.

Diamond disputed his account, denying that she receives $10,000 every month. She also said she has records of the payments and alleged that Chris reduced the amount after learning she was dating someone else. Although she acknowledged that he provided a home and two cars, she said she is responsible for their monthly installments. Diamond also challenged his suggestion that financial support amounted to equal parenting, arguing that their daughter needs his presence and involvement

The disagreement also involves their parenting arrangements. Chris claimed that he had not seen Lovely in seven months and accused Diamond of preventing him from spending time with her.

Diamond presented a different account in court documents. She claimed that Lovely spends about 90 per cent of her time with her and alleged that Chris had not requested to see their daughter in six to seven months.

She also objected to his reported proposal to take Lovely on tour on alternating weekends. Diamond argued that the arrangement would leave their daughter spending much of her time with a nanny while Chris fulfilled his professional commitments.

The dispute has attracted reactions from other women connected to the singer. Nia Guzman, mother of Chris’ oldest daughter, Royalty, publicly defended Chris. 

“This is a man who takes care of ALL his responsibilities. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is straight. It’s family over everything! Not one child is cared for more than the other! He’s very present. Very active. End of story!”

Meanwhile, Chris Brown made headlines after inviting Gabrielle Cheyenne onstage during his November 8 concert in Atlanta. The performance took place during The R&B Tour, his joint tour with Usher.

Keke Palmer has embraced Victoria’s Secret glamour for Halloween 2026. She shared a  photoshoot in a crystal-covered lingerie set, oversized pink feathered wings and flowing reddish-brown hair. The singer revealed the look on social media on October 27.

Palmer posed for a mock Victoria’s Secret catalogue cover. The image carried the headline “Introducing Keke by Victoria’s Secret” and the label “Halloween 2026 edition”.  No official Victoria’s Secret campaign or modelling partnership has been announced.

Victoria’s Secret commented on Palmer’s post, writing, “Not a costume, a calling.” It also praised the mock catalogue cover, asking, “You’re unreal. How are we supposed to scroll away from this?”

The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in Los Angeles on October 18, just days before she unveiled her Halloween transformation. The event featured musical performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, Megan Moroney and KATSEYE.
