  • Diddy’s Ex Kat Pasion Claims Mogul Told Her There’s “A Little Bit Of R. Kelly In All Of Us”


    Kat Pasion, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, claims that she suffered from abuse at the hands of the disgraced mogul throughout their relationship. PageSix reports that the dancer spoke at length about her experience in a clip from Investigation Discovery’s forthcoming documentary, The Fall of Diddy.

    Pasion’s admission arrives in the last episode of the four-part series, comparing her short-lived relationship with Sean Combs to that of Cassie Ventura, saying, “He was trying to reel me in, get me comfortable and show me he’s a good guy. It was very positive in the beginning.” She noticed red flags from the businessman during this time, remembering a moment they watched “a little bit” of Surviving R. Kelly. Combs allegedly told Pasion “There’s a little bit of R. Kelly in all of us.” At the time, the Canadian model didn’t take his statement seriously, saying, “I wasn’t absorbing really the severity of that statement until later.”

    2018 found Combs allegedly attempting to choke her after a dispute, with Kat shouting at him, “Don’t you f**king dare because I’ll call the police.” He immediately played off his move, claiming he was making “a joke.” However, the couple would call it quits in 2019, with Puffy warning her that she “doesn’t want to end up like my ex Cassie,” which she took as a “threat.”

    A couple of years later, in 2021, the couple would re-spark their romance, but this time, things became incredibly dark. The model claims that the Bad Boy Records boss had sex with her without her consent when he was having a difficult time sleeping at his Malibu home.

    “It was just scary, to be honest, because his whole tone, everything changed,” she alleged. “It wasn’t consensual and he….the person who came out of that bathroom and woke me up was someone that—I didn’t even recognize him, and I knew that I was never going to see him again.”

    “You feel so small and insignificant because this person has so much power and resources, and all of these people. It’s just very intimidating,” she added. “Also, at the same time, I feel like I should’ve known better. That’s the shame, though.”

    Pasion claims that she later received a call from Combs, “threatening her livelihood” if she told anyone about her experience.

    “I can call the embassy and get you deported back to Canada, you don’t know who you’re f**king with, you don’t know what I can do to you,” she recalled him saying. Kat then called him “a demon” toward the end of the conversation, prompting him to hang up.

    Diddy’s reps issued a statement responding to Kat Pasion’s allegations, saying, “Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.”

    Reps then turned their attention to Investigation Discovery, calling them irresponsible for airing content full of information that feeds the media “circus.”

    “The producers failed to provide sufficient time or details for his representatives to address unsubstantiated claims, many from unidentified participants whose allegations lack context,” they claim.

    “By withholding this information, they made it impossible for Mr. Combs to present facts to counter these fabricated accusations. This production is clearly intended to present a one-sided and prejudicial narrative.” Combs’ team concluded, “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every publicity stunt or facially ridiculous claim. He has full confidence in the facts and the judicial process, where the truth will prevail: the accusations against him are pure fiction.”

    The Fall of Diddy will premiere on Monday (Jan. 27) at 9 p.m. EST.

    In a shocking revelation, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Kat Pasion has claimed that the music mogul once told her, “There’s a little bit of R. Kelly in all of us.”

    Pasion, who dated Diddy briefly in 2018, made the claim in a recent interview with a popular gossip site. She alleged that Diddy made the comment during a private conversation about the controversial singer R. Kelly, who has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse.

    The statement has sparked outrage and disbelief among fans and critics alike, with many calling out Diddy for his insensitive and troubling remarks. Pasion has since spoken out about the incident, stating that she was shocked and disturbed by Diddy’s words.

    This latest controversy comes on the heels of renewed scrutiny of the entertainment industry’s treatment of women and the prevalence of abuse and misconduct within the industry. It serves as a stark reminder of the need for accountability and change within the music industry and beyond.

  • Christopher Walken Told Will Ferrell ‘More Cowbell’ Sketch on ‘SNL’ Had ‘Ruined My Life’


    April 5, 2000 was a momentous day in comedy history. That night, “Saturday Night Live” paid tribute to Blue Oyster Cult’s 1976 jam “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” and one iconic bit of percussion.

    The cowbell.

    More from IndieWire

    The hit song, a latter-day bit of psychedelia, infamously had a repeated cowbell on the track. In the sketch, which of course anyone reading this has seen, Christopher Walken’s supposedly legendary producer “Bruce Dickerson” keeps beseeching cowbell player Gene Frenkle (Will Ferrell, in a too-tight shirt) to play more emphatically: “I gotta a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.”

    In Peacock’s “SNL 50: Beyond Saturday Night” docuseries (via the New York Post), Ferrell, who wrote the “More Cowbell” sketch, opens up about how much Walken has come to resent the ubiquity of it. It all came out when Ferrell visited Walken when the actor was appearing in Martin McDonagh’s “A Behanding in Spokane” on Broadway in 2010.

    “I went to see [Walken] backstage, and he’s like, ‘You know, you’ve ruined my life… every show, people bring cowbells for the curtain call and bang them,” Ferrell said. “It’s quite disconcerting.’”

    For what it’s worth, Walken did not appear in the installment of “SNL 50: Beyond Saturday Night” focused on “More Cowbell.” But he has separately said, “I don’t understand why it follows me around like it does…. It’s kind of run its course.”

    Jimmy Fallon, who, bearded and spaced out played one of the Oyster Cult band members, elaborated that the extremity of the sketch was really pushed in the live, on-air performance far beyond anything they had attempted in the dress rehearsal. “[Walken] upped his game,” Fallon added. “He was almost doing an impersonation of Christopher Walken. He was talking like how no human being would talk, ever.”

    For Ferrell, the sketch emerged organically from ruminations he’d had since the song came out. “I had the thought even as a kid, ‘What is the life of the guy playing the cowbell?’ I guess that was germinating for decades in my head.”

    As far as the original track is concerned, there are conflicting accounts of who actually played the cowbell, which was overdubbed into the recording. At least two members of the band, as well as the producer David Lucas, claim that they played it. But lead guitarist and band co-founder Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser is a fan of “More Cowbell.”

    “We all thought it was phenomenal,” Roeser told the Washington Post in 2005. “We’re huge Christopher Walken fans. I’ve probably seen it 20 times and I’m still not tired of it.”

    In a recent interview, Christopher Walken revealed that the iconic “More Cowbell” sketch on Saturday Night Live had “ruined” his life. The sketch, which featured Walken as a record producer urging the band to add more cowbell to their song, has become a classic moment in SNL history.

    Walken explained that he is constantly approached by fans who quote lines from the sketch to him, leading him to feel like he can never escape the shadow of the cowbell. He jokingly lamented, “I can’t walk into a music store without someone handing me a cowbell and asking me to sign it.”

    Despite the sketch’s impact on his life, Walken admitted that he still finds it funny and appreciates the lasting impact it has had on pop culture. And while he may never fully escape the cowbell, he remains grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a beloved SNL moment.

  • Tens of Thousands Told to Evacuate as New Fire Rages North of L.A.


    As the Hughes fire exploded in size on Wednesday, people living around Castaic Lake in northern Los Angeles County weighed the question of whether to stay or go.

    The danger felt all the more real because of the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires that have been ravaging other parts of the county.

    Greg Wolf, 64, was hunkered down with his family inside his house in Castaic despite a mandatory evacuation order. Ash was raining down and there were plumes of smoke in the sky, but he said they were staying put because the winds had appeared to die down and the fire appeared to be south of them.

    Mr. Wolf said he is normally unbothered by warnings about fires. But this time, he was nervous.

    “What happened in Altadena and the power of the wind in the Palisades — I’ve never seen anything like that in California,” he said.

    Fueled by fierce winds, the Eaton and Palisades fires grew rapidly and caused widespread devastation in Altadena and Pasadena to the northeast of Los Angeles, and in Pacific Palisades and Malibu to the west. The two rank among the most destructive blazes in California’s history.

    The Hughes fire seemed to be growing at a similarly shocking rate, burning more than 8,000 acres by 4 p.m., barely four hours after it started.

    It had burned mostly brush in and around the Castaic Lake State Recreation Area, but evacuation orders were issued for wider swaths of the area. The evacuation zones include Northlake Hills Elementary School, Castaic Elementary School and Castaic Middle School. Other schools closed out of caution, though they were not under evacuation orders.

    Manny Trujillo watched the fire spread into a dry riverbed across the street from his home in Castaic. There have been fires nearby before, he said, but nothing like this. As the flames crept closer, he couldn’t decide whether or not to leave.

    “I don’t want to panic,” he said. “But what do you take?”

    The fire at first threatened the Lake Hills Community Church, which overlooks Castaic Lake, but David Cummings, the lead pastor, said the building appeared to be untouched. He had watched from the church’s remote security cameras and spotted firefighters in the area before the power went out.

    About half of the church’s 140 parishioners live in Castaic.

    “We’ve been able to evacuate them down to homes in Santa Clarita, but now some of those homes are under evacuation so we’re re-evacuating,” Mr. Cummings said.

    The fire had reached the northern part of Santa Clarita, said Mayor Bill Miranda. He said he was not aware of any homes that were damaged in the city, which is south of the lake and is home to about 225,000 people.

    Some of its residents were taking no chances.

    People who live on the Camino Azar cul-de-sac in Santa Clarita’s new Tesoro Highlands community were evacuating midafternoon Wednesday, after watching wearily as the fire grew for several hours and checking in with one another.

    “It moves very fast,” Immanuel Chiang, 57, said as thick clouds of smoke billowed just northwest of his hillside community. “I just came and started packing.”

    Like his neighbors, Mr. Chiang moved to the new development just three months ago.

    Mr. Miranda said he felt confident about Santa Clarita’s preparations, with evacuation centers set up, including for animals, and a command center established near Castaic Lake. The area has been through fires before: In 2019, the Tick fire burned nearly 5,000 acres.

    “We’re experienced with fires, that’s a good thing,” he said. “But the fact that we have so many fires, that’s not a good thing.”

    Mr. Miranda urged people to be prepared, noting that winds were forecast to pick up tonight and could shift quickly.

    By Wednesday evening, some Castaic evacuees were gathered at the Ralph’s shopping center. Among them were Ted and Jennie Hartman, who were preparing to head to neighboring Valencia to get dinner with their 7-year-old son.

    Around midday, their son’s elementary school notified them that all children needed to be picked up. At 4 p.m., the family heard officials on bullhorns saying they needed to evacuate.

    “I think they were worried about embers,” said Mr. Hartman, 57, a state worker, who has lived in Castaic since 1986 in a neighborhood of mostly two-story homes.

    As they left for dinner, the Hartmans said they did not know where they would be sleeping tonight.



    In the latest wildfire news, tens of thousands of residents have been ordered to evacuate as a new fire rages north of Los Angeles. The fire, dubbed the “Canyon Fire,” has already scorched thousands of acres and is rapidly spreading due to high winds and dry conditions.

    Authorities are urging residents in the affected areas to evacuate immediately to ensure their safety. The fire is posing a threat to homes, businesses, and wildlife in the surrounding areas, and firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the blaze.

    Our thoughts are with those impacted by this devastating fire, and we urge everyone in the area to stay vigilant and follow evacuation orders to protect themselves and their loved ones. Stay tuned for updates on this rapidly developing situation.

    Wildfire Go-Kit: 

    Residents in wildfire-prone areas are urged to have an emergency supplies kit to bring with them of they are evacuated from their homes, especially as Arizona residents are beginning to see early widespread fire activity throughout the state. 

    An emergency supply kit should be put together long before a wildfire or another disaster occurs. Make sure to keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate. 

    The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that residents near a disaster store emergency supplies in a plastic tub, small suitcase, trash can, backpack, or other containers.  

    Residents should make sure they have the necessities, such as three gallons of water per person and a three-day supply of ready-to-eat food, the NFPA said. A first-aid kit, prescription medications, contact lenses, and non-prescription drugs should also be taken into account.  

    Copies of any important family documents, including insurance policies, identification, bank account records, and emergency contact numbers should also be taken and put into a waterproof, portable container in your kit, the NFPA said.  

    The association lists other items that would help in a disaster, including: 

    • Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person 

    • Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio and a NOAA weather radio to receive up-to-date information 

    • Dust mask or cotton T-shirt to filter the air 

    • Matches in a waterproof container 

    • Complete change of clothing including long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sturdy shoes stored in a waterproof container 

    • Signal flare 

    The entire NFPA checklist of supplies can be found here. 

    Those in Arizona who have been affected by a wildfire or other natural disasters can seek assistance from the American Red Cross by calling 1-800-842-7349. 





    Attention Queen Valley residents: Emergency officials have issued a mandatory evacuation order due to a rapidly spreading brush fire in the area. Please gather your belongings, pets, and important documents and evacuate immediately to ensure your safety.

    Firefighters are working diligently to contain the fire, but the situation remains volatile. It is crucial that all residents comply with the evacuation order to avoid any potential danger.

    Please stay tuned to local news outlets and official social media channels for updates on the situation. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this fire, and we hope for a swift and safe resolution. Stay safe, Queen Valley residents.

  • What Donald Trump Told Sean Hannity in Oval Office Interview


    President Donald Trump sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, a self-described “friend,” for the first sit-down interview of his presidency. Here are some takeaways from “part one” of their conversation, which aired Wednesday night.

    Trump suggests he would like to see Biden investigated

    Trump suggested he would like to see investigations into former President Joe Biden.

    Trump is the first President to be convicted of a felony—in a case relating to business records of hush money payments—and had faced criminal charges over his role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. He indicated to Hannity that after his experience, he’s interested in seeing investigations into Biden.

    “It’s really hard to say that they shouldn’t have to go through it also,” he said.

    Biden pardoned his siblings and their spouses in his final minutes in office to protect them from potential investigations by Trump. Trump said Biden set an “amazing” precedent for him to follow.

    Trumps says he may withhold aid to California until it adjusts how it manages water

    The President told Hannity that “Los Angeles has changed everything” on Capitol Hill, since “a lot of money” will be needed to rebuild fire-ravaged areas. Trump and some other Republicans have suggested placing conditions on federal assistance or tying other GOP priorities to the funding that will be necessary to assist the heavily Democratic state.

    Trump told Hannity that he may withhold aid to California to recover from devastating wildfires until the state adjusts how it manages its scarce water resources.

    Trump has falsely claimed that California’s fish conservation efforts in the northern part of the state are responsible for fire hydrants running dry in urban areas.

    “I don’t think we should give California anything until they let the water run down,” he says.

    Local officials have said the conservation efforts for the delta smelt had nothing to do with the hydrants running dry as firefighters tried to contain blazes around Los Angeles. They said intense demand on a municipal system not designed to battle such blazes was to blame.

    Trump says FEMA is ‘getting in the way of everything’ and he wants to reform it

    Trump said he wants to reform the Federal Emergency Management Agency, claiming it is “getting in the way of everything” as the U.S. faces the daunting task of rebuilding after storm damage in the southeast and devastating wildfires in California.

    Trump told Hannity, “I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.” He did not elaborate on his proposed reforms, only saying that the agency is “going to be a whole big discussion very shortly.”

    Trump is set to make his first presidential trip Friday to view storm damage in North Carolina after last year’s Hurricane Helene, and then on to Los Angeles to view the response to ongoing wildfires.



    In a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on a range of topics, from his administration’s accomplishments to his plans for the upcoming election. Here are some key highlights from the conversation:

    1. On his administration’s achievements: Trump touted his administration’s record on job creation, tax cuts, and deregulation, claiming that his policies have bolstered the economy and improved the lives of everyday Americans.

    2. On the upcoming election: Trump expressed confidence in his chances of winning re-election in November, citing his strong base of support and his campaign’s fundraising success. He also criticized his Democratic opponents, accusing them of being out of touch with the American people.

    3. On recent controversies: Trump addressed recent controversies, such as his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his response to nationwide protests against racial injustice. He defended his administration’s actions and reiterated his belief that he has done a good job as president.

    Overall, the interview provided a glimpse into Trump’s mindset as he heads into the final months of his first term. Stay tuned for more updates on the president’s re-election campaign and his plans for the future.

  • ‘Screw it’… Minnesota Timberwolves told to make change to back trade up, coach and front office warned


    After falling to 21-20 for the season, there is a very real chance the Minnesota Timberwolves fall to .500 again with a trip to Dallas up next.

    A close loss to the Grizzlies means the Minnesota Timberwolves have dropped two straight games. Only the similar mediocrity of the 21-21 Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns keeps them in ninth place.

    Despite this, the 2024-25 season is not shaping up as the T-Wolves envisaged, with their plans ripped apart by the Karl-Anthony Towns trade.

    Their momentum was recently disrupted by an injury to Donte DiVincenzo, who has missed time with a toe injury.

    It has meant the ever-changing Timberwolves line-up has brought Mike Conley back in, after he was previously benched, with one analyst describing his career as ‘over’.

    But in the narrow 108-106 loss to Memphis, there was reason to be positive, and reminder of another trade the team made.

    Rob Dillingham #4 of the Minnesota Timberwolves handles the ball against Max Christie #12 of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first quarter at Target ...

    Rob Dillingham impresses

    Rookie prospect Rob Dillingham contributed 15 points from the bench against Memphis, a sign of his potential, and it was impressive that he did it with just 17 minutes of playing time.

    Minnesota acquired Dillingham in the NBA Draft via a trade with the San Antonio Spurs.

    The T-Wolves gave up an unprotected first round pick in 2031 and a protected first rounder in 2030.

    And now with Dillingham showing signs of potential, they are being advised to double down, and focus on his development with additional playing time.

    Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor noted Dillingham’s recent contribution, and commented: “They needed Rob Dillingham off the bench, like you need a rookie who’s like 170 pounds to be a contributor for your team.

    “And I think at this point, Finch needs to play, Dillingham 30 minutes a night.

    “Just screw it, see how you can get out of him. Try to invest in his development as much as possible.

    “Because Tim Connolly in that Minnesota front office, they did that deal for multiple firsts to move up to eight with San Antonio as their big swing.

    “They’re betting on Dillingham. So I think Finch needs to get on the same page there and just throw out Dillingham out and see what you can get out of him, because [Mike] Conley is just not the same guy, like he had a great career.”

    Rob Dillingham playing time

    Rob Dillingham is a long way from playing 30 minutes a night. He got 17 against the Grizzlies, and made the most of it.

    For the season he is averaging 9.8 minutes per game. This has increased recently, going from 8.8 per game in December to 16.8 in January.

    So it’s trending in the right direction for the rookie – but they are yet to truly commit to him. All in good time.

    “Screw it” – Minnesota Timberwolves told to make change to back trade up, coach and front office warned

    The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in a state of mediocrity for far too long, and it seems like the time for change is now. With a disappointing record and lackluster performances, the team has been under fire from fans and critics alike.

    Recently, the front office has been warned that significant changes need to be made in order to turn things around. From backing trade deals to shaking up the coaching staff and front office, the message is clear: it’s time for a fresh start.

    While it may be a tough pill to swallow, sometimes drastic measures are necessary in order to see improvement. The Timberwolves have the potential to be a competitive team in the NBA, but they need to make bold moves in order to get there.

    So, to the Timberwolves organization, it’s time to say “screw it” and make the changes needed to bring success back to Minnesota. The fans are counting on you.

  • Arteta told to bring Osimhen as chances of signing Isak analysed


    Perry Groves has urged Arsenal to go all out to sign one of Europe’s most lethal strikers in the January transfer window if they are unable to get Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, with a fellow talkSPORT pundit also sharing his brutal verdict on Kai Havertz.

    Arsenal are actively trying to sign a striker in the January transfer window following the injury to Gabriel Jesus. Kai Havertz is not scoring as frequently as he did last season, and with Liverpool six points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand, the Gunners are in danger of slipping further behind in the race for the title.

    One of the strikers Arsenal are very keen on is Victor Osimhen. The 26-year-old Nigeria international joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal from Napoli in the summer of 2024 and has been superb so far this campaign.

    One of the most lethal and fearsome strikers in Europe, Osimhen has scored 14 goals and given six assists in 18 matches in all competitions so far this season.

    The striker found the back of the net 17 times in all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign, while in 2022-23, he scored 31 goals in 39 appearances.

    Manchester United have reportedly had a verbal bid for the striker turned down in January, while Arsenal have made contact about bringing him to the Emirates Stadium before the window closes.

    Former Arsenal winger Groves believes that Osimhen would be a brilliant signing for Mikel Arteta’s side in the middle of the season.

    While the talkSPORT pundit would love the Gunners to sign Isak in January, he is aware that Newcastle will not sell the Sweden international striker, who has scored 15 goals and given five assists in 20 Premier League matches this season.

    When asked whether he would bring Osimhen to Arsenal, Groves told talkSPORT: “In a heartbeat. You ain’t gonna get Isak because Newcastle, even though they had a bad result on the weekend, they’re still looking to see if they can get into the Champions League, so they’re not going to get Isak.

    “So, if it means you pay over the odds or if you take a player on loan, any centre-forward at the top level, (Ally) Coisty, you’d be licking your lips thinking, ‘I tell you what, I could make a massive difference to that Arsenal side.’”

    Brutal Kai Havertz verdict

    With Jesus now injured, Havertz will continue to lead the line for Arsenal. The Germany international forward has scored just eight goals in 19 Premier League games this season.

    During the 2023-24 campaign, Havertz found the back of the net 13 times and provided seven assists in 30 Premier League starts for the Gunners.

    Former Rangers and Scotland international striker Ally McCoist does not think that Havertz will win Arsenal the Premier League title this season.

    McCoist said on talkSPORT: “I think it’s a crying shame, actually. The amount of games I’ve been at, particularly at the Emirates, and I see that ball flashing across the six-yard box.

    “I think Havertz is an excellent footballer, I really do. But I think Havertz would score the same amount of goals whether he plays centre forward, number ten or comes off the side. I think he’ll get 10 goals, whereas a centre forward playing in that position gets you 20, 25 (goals).”

    Latest Arsenal news: Sesko bid, Tavares in demand

    Arsenal have needed a ‘proper’ striker since last summer, and Jesus’s latest injury seems to have awakened the decision-makers at the North London club.

    The Gunners are now actively looking to bring in a new number nine, and one of the players they are very keen on is Benjamin Sesko.

    Arsenal are reportedly ready to pay £59.2m in transfer fees for the RB Leipzig striker, with Barcelona also said to be interested in him.

    A player that many Arsenal fans would have forgotten about is Nuno Tavares. The left-back is out on loan at Lazio at the moment, and it is unlikely that he will ever play for the Gunners again.

    Although Tavares failed to make a huge impact during his time in the Premier League, he has been a star for Lazio in Serie A.

    The 24-year-old Portuguese international left-back’s performances in Italy have been so impressive that Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are all showing interest in him now.

    Meanwhile, there are reports that Real Madrid are eyeing a summer raid on Arsenal for William Saliba.

    Saliba has established himself as one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League, and Madrid have reportedly been in touch with his entourage over a summer move.

    Encouragingly for Arsenal, the France international central defender is not focused on his future at the moment – his mind is on making sure that the Gunners win the Premier League title this season

    POLL:  What is the biggest missing piece for Arsenal to win the Premier League? 



    In a recent development, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly been urged to bring in Lille striker Victor Osimhen as the chances of signing Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak are being analyzed.

    Osimhen, who has been in fine form for Lille this season, has caught the eye of several top clubs across Europe with his impressive goal-scoring record. With Arsenal in need of reinforcements up front, the Nigerian international could be a valuable addition to their squad.

    However, the Gunners are also considering a move for Isak, who has been in excellent form for Real Sociedad and has attracted interest from a number of clubs. The Swedish striker is seen as a long-term solution to Arsenal’s attacking woes and could provide a different dimension to their forward line.

    Arteta will have to weigh up the pros and cons of both players before making a decision on who to pursue in the upcoming transfer window. With funds likely to be limited, the Arsenal boss will need to make a shrewd move in order to bolster his squad for next season.

    It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to secure the services of either Osimhen or Isak, but fans will be hoping for a positive outcome as the summer transfer window approaches. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

They married in 2000 and moved to Los Angeles. They tragically lost their first son, Nevada, to SIDS, and later had twins and triplets.
    The couple divorced in 2008, the same year Musk became Tesla CEO. The loss of their son and the subsequent births of their other children further strained their relationship. In the essay Jestine wrote, “This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon’s judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. ‘I am your wife,” I told him repeatedly, ‘not your employee.’
    “‘If you were my employee,’ he said just as often, ‘I would fire you.’”
    Following their divorce, Elon Musk stated he offered Justine a substantial settlement, which she rejected. He currently covers all expenses for their children and provides monthly support. She also retained the family home in Bel Air.
