A wild ride to kick things off: a man named Jey González-Díaz allegedly jumped off Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas near San Juan, Puerto Rico to evade a $16,710 gambling debt. Authorities say he tried to slip away during disembarkation, was later pulled to shore by jet skis, and found with $14,600 in cash, two phones, and five IDs. He faces federal charges for avoiding currency reporting requirements.
Meanwhile in music/hip-hop culture, Desi Banks has been spotted working behind the scenes—translating/interpreting for Young Thug during God Ain’t Pleased with Alton Walker. And rapper JID is getting praise for his new album God Does Like Ugly (released August 8, 2025), inspired by a phrase his grandmother said: “God does like ugly, letting all this happen.” The project mixes vulnerability, grit, and reflection, with tracks like WRK as the lead single, exploring pain, loss, growth, and authenticity.
