On Friday, Travis Scott will unveil UTOPIA, which is led by the Bad Bunny and The Weeknd-assisted drop “K-POP.” In anticipation of this, the Houston talent shared one of five covers that will be utilized for vinyl, CD, and merchandise box sets. The image depicts a number of Northern Nigerian men with white contact lenses holding a wad of Naira notes in the passenger seat of a car. “The journey through the album took me all over the world,” Scott revealed. “Can’t wait to finally drop the album. The main cover will drop Thursday [July 27]. Until then, a cover every day. Love you, see you in UTOPIA.”
As promised, the “SICKO MODE” star blessed the masses with even more artwork earlier on Wednesday, July 26, including one that takes an abstract approach to a suggestive group photo. Another Instagram post contains inverted shots of Scott giving high-energy poses — a presumed clue into the aforementioned LP’s subject matter. In addition to the music, fans will be treated to “CIRCUS MAXIMUS,” an accompanying film named after an ancient Roman stadium. As explained via a press release, the flick “is a surreal and psychedelic journey, uniting a collective of visionary filmmakers from around the world in a kaleidoscopic exploration of human experience and the power of soundscapes.”

4. LaKeith Stanfield reveals he privately married model Kasmere Trice and the pair have welcomed their first child together
LaKeith Stanfield is entirely off the market as he recently expanded his family with his now-wife, model Kasmere Trice Stanfield. An interview with the actor, where he opened up about the life-changing moments, was released on Wednesday, July 26. During the conversation, the newlywed couple revealed they met in Canada, where LaKeith was working. The 31-year-old said initially, “We were just feeling each other out like maybe this will be a cool friend.” But then, “As love does, it just smacked us out of nowhere. I’m working on my music, writing, and writing, and then this person who I was seemingly writing about pops up in my life. It was strange,” he noted.
In December 2022, LaKeith proposed to the 29-year-old model on an island vacation just before her birthday, the publication mentioned. Between then and now, the pair married privately and had a baby, which they both affirmed they wanted to protect and keep sacred. When asked why they decided to share their news now, the couple stated, “We want to be the ones to tell our story. We’re bringing our family forward, so we may inspire others.”

Lionel Messi didn’t take long to score in his first start for Inter Miami, finding the back of the net twice in 23 minutes in a 4-0 win. Messi was in the Inter Miami starting XI for the first time against Atlanta United on Tuesday, having come off the bench to score a famous free kick in Friday’s win over Cruz Azul. On Tuesday, Messi combined with his longtime team-mate Sergio Busquets, who lofted a pass over the top of the Atlanta defense. After hitting the post initially, Messi was able to tap home his own rebound to give Miami a 1-0 lead in the club’s second Leagues Cup game.
He made it 2-0 just a few minutes later, taking his goal tally to three in just 58 total minutes of play. The finish came thanks to a cross from Robert Taylor, who teed up the ex-Barcelona man for the second of the day.
