R&B and neo-soul icon D’Angelo, born Michael D’Angelo Archer, has died at the age of 51 following a prolonged and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. His family confirmed his passing on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, describing him as the "shining star of our family" who has been called home. The cause of death has been confirmed as pancreatic cancer, a fact that was not publicly disclosed prior to his death. D’Angelo, a Grammy-winning artist, was a leading figure in the neo-soul movement of the 1990s, known for his innovative fusion of classic R&B, gospel, funk, and hip-hop influences. His debut album, Brown Sugar (1995), and his critically acclaimed follow-up, Voodoo (2000), solidified his legacy, featuring hits like "Brown Sugar," "Lady," and "Untitled (How Does It Feel)". The family expressed their heartbreak over his passing but expressed gratitude for the "legacy of extraordinarily moving music" he leaves behind and requested privacy during their time of mourning.

Is the "Date a Guy with Sisters" rule 100% true? We're diving into the psychology of dating, table manners, and emotional labor! Psychologists suggest men raised around sisters are secretly enrolled in a lifelong sensitivity boot camp.

Does this family influence make them better partners—the ones who naturally bring you water or check if you got home safe? Or do you still end up having to teach them how to load the dishwasher?

1. Rosé x Bruno Mars Drama BLACKPINK's Rosé revealed in a recent Vogue interview that she and Bruno Mars had a "biggest fight" right before they shot the music video for their hit song, "APT.," though they quickly reconciled on set. The confession has triggered a debate online, with some fans defending her right to share the story and celebrate the friendship, while critics accuse her of over-relying on her association with Bruno Mars for relevance. Rosé reiterated the story in a Variety interview on October 13, 2025. 2. Olivia Rodrigo x New Music Olivia Rodrigo officially confirmed she is working on her third album, currently nicknamed "OR3" by fans. In a partnership video with Amex following her highly successful $196 million Guts World Tour (which ended in July 2025), Rodrigo revealed that fan reactions from the tour are already influencing her new songwriting process. She also shared a quirky detail: her new favorite studio meal has switched from burritos (Sour) and tacos (Guts) to salmon. She also hinted at an upcoming special performance with Amex. 3. MTV Shut Down Music Channels MTV is permanently shutting down five of its dedicated music channels in the UK by December 31, 2025, including MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live. This move is part of a massive global cost-cutting initiative by its parent company, Paramount, which aims to save $500 million. The closures, which also affect Australia, Poland, and Brazil, signal the end of nearly four decades of music video broadcasting on the platform. The network's primary channel, MTV HD, will remain, but will continue to focus on reality TV like Naked Dating UK. The decision reflects a major shift in audience habits towards online streaming platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.
