Meta has announced a VR Notorious B.I.G. concert.

The late hip-hop icon’s estate has teamed up with the tech giant on ‘Sky’s the Limit’, which will be shown on Meta’s Horizon Worlds VR platform and Facebook on December 16.

Biggie was killed in a drive-by shooting in March 1997, aged 24.

The ‘Hypnotize’ rapper’s avatar will perform and take viewers on a “narrative journey” of the Brooklyn star’s life.

Music journalist Touré will voice Biggie.

On what would have been Biggie’s 50th birthday on May 21, the Empire State Building changed its lights’ colour to red and white, with a crown spinning on its mast to honour the iconic star.

A special memorial ceremony was also held at the New York landmark and attended by a host of friends and collaborators – including Lil Kim, Lil’ Cease and Voletta Wallace, the rapper’s mother.

In Brooklyn, the Barclays Center paid homage to Biggie’s life by featuring a video montage of his records on the display above the arena’s entrance.

What’s more, New York City’s public transportation agency put out a special edition MetroCard on May 21 that featured the ‘Juicy’ hitmaker.

Biggie – whose real name was Christopher Wallace – rose to stardom alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the early 90s.

And Diddy previously admitted that “the money, the fame [and] the success” lost all meaning for him following the death of his good friend.

‘Barbie’ Is The Highest-Grossing Movie Of 2023

Published

on

‘Barbie’ has become the highest-grossing movie of 2023.

The blockbuster summer comedy – which stars Margot Robbie as the titular Mattel doll – has reportedly passed ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ at the box office, with Variety revealing that on Saturday (02.09.03), the film has now brought in a total of $1.36 billion since its release in July.

In recent days, ‘Barbie’ also became Warner Bros’ highest-grossing film ever as it passed the record set by ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two’, which was the final instalment of the megahit wizarding franchise based on the magical book series by J.K Rowling.

Greta Gerwig’s smash hit – which also stars Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s boyfriend Ken – was released on the same day as wartime drama ‘Oppenheimer’ and the two films sparked a phenomenon known as Barbeheimer due to their polarity, and the weekend also saw the Christopher Nolan- directed epic become the second-highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

The biopic which chronicles the career of American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer has now collected a reported $787 million at the box office, meaning that it has overtaken the record set by Ryan Reynolds’ 2018 hit ‘Deadpool 2’, which made $785 million and was also deemed unsuitable for those under the age of 17.

This means that the drama – which was directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Cillian Murphy as the titular wartime hero – is just behind ‘Joker’ on the list of highest-grossing R-rated movies ever, which became the first movie of its kind to surpass the $1 billion mark following its release in 2019.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ currently stands as the third-highest-grossing film of 2023, having taken $845,522,394 at the box office.

A video showcasing Kenyan musician Kevin Mbuvi Kioko, widely known as Bahati, donning women’s attire has ignited a whirlwind of reactions across the internet. The gospel artist has not only been seen wearing his wife’s clothes but also experimenting with makeup, sparking a wave of criticism and mixed opinions.

In response to Kenyans who urged him to conform to societal norms, Bahati took to Instagram to defiantly proclaim his beauty and shut down his detractors. He wrote, “Unaongea mbaya na nimeiva kuliko dem yako” (You speak ill, yet I am more beautiful than your girlfriend)

While artists occasionally sport unconventional and humorous outfits, it remains unclear whether it’s for publicity or purely entertainment purposes. Concerns have emerged regarding Bahati’s recent trend of wearing his wife, Diana’s clothing, with many speculating about his potential association with the LGBTQIA+ community.
