Several stars were forced to address rumours head-on, while others sparked debates with their online posts. From relationship speculation to tour news and headline-making reactions, these are the moments that had everyone talking.

1. Sweet Guluva's team denies absent father claims

Sweet Guluva's team released a statement dismissing rumours that he is an absent father to Ash-ley Ogle's newborn son, Kenzo-Lu.

The speculation began after Ogle announced the birth of her baby on Valentine's Day, with social media users linking the child to her past relationship with the Big Brother Mzansi season 5 winner.

In the statement, his team said Guluva has been trying to resolve the matter privately since early 2025 and wants to be involved in the child's life.

The team indicated that they would neither confirm nor deny paternity until a DNA test has been conducted.

Ogle later broke her silence with her own statement, revealing that no efforts were made by Sweet Guluva to see the baby.

2. Cardi B brings out Tyla at sold-out LA show

Fans at Cardi B's Kia Forum show were caught off guard when she brought Tyla on stage during night two of her Los Angeles stop.

The pair performed Nice Guy live for the first time on the tour, with Cardi B introducing Tyla to roaring applause.

Tyla later performed Chanel, sending the crowd into another frenzy.

The moment added to the success of Cardi B's Little Miss Drama tour, with her album Am I The Drama? previously reaching platinum status within hours of its release.
