Serena Williams is undoubtedly one of the best players in tennis history, boasting a formidable record of over 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Along with her sister Venus, she also won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and secured 3 doubles gold medals on the Olympic Games.

However, as an alternative of specializing in her amazing achievements on the tennis court, some are specializing in speculating about changes in her appearance. Many people have suggested that the Compton resident can have undergone facial cosmetic surgery and/or lightened her skin tone over time.

Last month, the mother of two was thrust into the highlight after a brand new glam video shared by her makeup artist Renny Vasquez went viral. In the clip, filmed during Paris Fashion Week, Williams gave the impression to be several shades lighter than her typical complexion, prompting fans to argue over whether her skin was permanently lightened or it was just makeup. Some even suggested that the sunshine can have lightened her skin.

Fast forward to April, and lots of fans on social media are comparing Williams’ appearance, with some criticizing her for what they perceive as drastic changes to her face. Meanwhile, others imagine there could also be an inexpensive explanation for why it looks so different.

Fan he tweeted two photos, many years apart, showing stark differences between Williams’ photos then and now. He wrote: “I’m very angry at Serena at this point…why baby why?”

One X user sent Williams’ old videos of her life in the general public eye, stating, “I loved that dark skin.”

Beautiful.

However, some people were quick to suggest a distinct lens to see her visibly fairer complexion.

“It doesn’t look like whitewashing to me. Sometimes people with darker skin tones lighten slightly due to environmental factors. If he has less sun exposure (and he probably does), he can lighten the shade or. The same thing happened to me” – one person he said.

Another X user he wrote“She also had a child. Having children can change your characteristics. After the birth of her twins, it changed Beyonce for a hot minute. This also includes makeup and possible lip fillers. She has also aged gracefully. We love using this photo when there is plenty of evidence that she is still beautiful.”

A 3rd added: “Why don’t you go to her page and check out her latest photos. It was makeup and lighting.

The sports icon welcomed her second daughter, Adira, with husband Alexis Ohanian in August. They are also the parents of a 6-year-old daughter, Olimpia. However, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that mothers lighten their skin after giving birth. Williams also never admitted to having undergone plastic surgery or using skin bleaching products to lighten her skin.

Despite this, she has always been proud of her skin tone, even though she admitted that she was treated differently because of her skin color.

“Underpaid, undervalued,” Williams said in a 2020 report edition British Vogue. “I’ve never been a person who said, ‘I want to be a different color,’ or ‘I want my skin tone to be lighter.’ I like who I am, I like how I look, and I love representing beautiful, dark women. For me it’s perfect. I wouldn’t want it to be any different.”

TI and Tiny’s son, King Harris, has matured in front of the world after his appearance on “TI & Tiny: The Family Hustle.”

However, being a child star transitioning into maturity within the entertainment industry can come with challenges, comparable to constant scrutiny of your appearance.

This is very true for the recording artist “Stand on Business.” People criticize King for his strong features and fair complexion, but often his style and online antics stand out greater than what people say about his appearance.

Recently, someone made a remark about his seemingly unrecognizable appearance, which prompted his fans to come to his defense, stating that he looks mature and is not sick because the person suggested.

Earlier this week, on Monday, April 29, King attended artist Quavo’s seventh annual Huncho Day at Berkmar High School within the suburb of Atkanta. The charity event raised tens of hundreds of dollars for the Migos rapper’s The Rocket Foundation, which supports gun violence prevention.

King did his part by playing within the All-Star Football game. Dressed in a black Huncho Legends uniform, white tights, a platinum Gucci chain and red and white Nikes, the previous reality star may very well be seen sporting a new look after recently chopping off her locks – faded on the perimeters and curled on the back.

When the 19-year-old, whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris III, shared a clip on Instagram of himself being interviewed by Atlanta radio host and personality Miasi Simone, the post sparked a surge in his 856,000 followers praising his participation and praising him for starting his party enterprise, the Wildfest Atlanta festival, which he discussed with Simone.

But as a substitute of his achievements, one person’s words moved his fans, who focused on his appearance.

“My boyfriend looks sick,” the person says he wrote.

Immediately, two people clapped. One wrote: “Nope, growth and maturity.” The second comment was deeper and wrote: “The only sick person is you because you are saying something negative and hurtful…your mind and heart are sick.”

Between this post and other, many individuals complimented King’s “calm and collected” appearance, noting how mature he seemed. Meanwhile, others commented on his new hairstyle.

“The king has matured. It looks great. He looks like his mom with his dad’s mannerisms,” one person commented.

“You look so much better with your hair cut,” added one other. A 3rd said: “Oh he looks just like the little king from the family hustle again.” And More said, “Brother, it looks like he is making some changes in his life for the better. Keep pushing.”

Before cutting his hair in January 2024. King had blonde and brown locks. Often wild and uncontrollable, some say it fits the personality he has surrounded himself with over the last few years.

In November 2023, King gained immense popularity after he got into a fight with his father in a private suite during the Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints football game.

At the heart of the argument was a discussion about how King grew up in the suburbs rather than in the hood like his father was raised. His parents say the boy has never experienced real combat. King argued that he spent time at his grandmother’s house, which is still located downtown in a tough neighborhood, lamenting the idea that he was born with a “silver spoon” in his mouth.

Following this incident, claims made headlines that King Harris was not T.I.’s biological son, but rather the alleged illegitimate child of Bimmy Antney, a former music director and lieutenant of the Supreme Team. Some people have pointed out the similarities between Bimmy’s fair skin, reddish hair and freckles in old photos and those of King, saying they are more similar than T.I. or any of his other children.

“ALL of TI’s sons appear like him except King, BUT if he considers him his son, then he is his son,” one person noted. In the blink of an eye, people started reading her comments and writing, “Probably because she looks more like her mom, but hey.”

Tiny quickly put the rumor to rest.

“Man, these are the biggest bulls – ever!!! No offense, but I don’t even know this Bimmy! I just remembered who he was,” the Xscape singer stated, adding, “Stop playing with us for clickbait b…h.”

This isn’t the first time Mother Bear has defended her son. After previously defending King’s actions during the 2022 Waffle House incident, Tiny took to social media to express how much she loves her other child and rides for him.

“Man this little dude @the_next_king10 has always been my favorite but also terrifying,” she wrote. “No, he isn’t from the hood, but unlike any of his siblings, he got into trouble, fighting all of the rattling time and slap boxing daily at college prefer it was a sport!”

Adding: “But every parent with multiple children knows it’s always 1!! I am truly blessed for mine!!”

King’s Wildfest is scheduled for August 25 and will be to Atlanta what Rolling Loud is to New York and Miami.

I’m a fan of the English Premier League current top team, Arsenal. I make my children watch Arsenal games and pay close attention to them Bukayo Saka. My youngest child has a complete Arsenal toddler football kit – the uniform and kit worn by players on association football teams – provided by his godfather, who traveled to London and returned with football gifts. And as with all American sports, the revealing of recent uniforms is at all times entertaining, providing fodder for joy and pain. As a fan of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers, it’s rarely that there are a lot of uniform changes, but I like the various editions of uniforms that exist for special games and the like.

Recently, a leak of recent away kits for the 24/25 season appeared on the Internet, sparking discussion on the streets (roads?). Let me be clear: people generally complain. Every time a latest kit is revealed – whatever the team – social media is abuzz with complaints. Sometimes such complaints are justified; I still do not know why the design teams thought this fluorescent yellow with black stripes and the blue letter set was a move. But I’m sure some people enjoyed it just as much.

This brings us to next season’s away kit design, which recently leaked and unlike many on message boards and Twitter, I actually like it, mainly because it looks like something that might come out of Wakanda Design Studios (it’s not that obvious). . The T-shirt itself has a black base, red and green stripes, huge red Arsenal cannon (their team name is The shooters and the emblem are a cannon) and an interesting black and white marble pattern on the sleeves. To be honest, it’s not the best shirt I’ve ever seen, but the colour scheme alone makes it a complete joy. The American hip-hop fan in me sees nothing greater than that cover of the album “The Low End Theory” by A Tribe Called Quest.Damn, I just began playing “Check The Rhime” in tribute.

There’s something in regards to the combination of red, black and green that obviously alludes to Pan-African flag this speaks on to my revolutionary tendencies. But this colorway really works on so many levels and with so many fly shoes. I do not know in the event that they had fashion in mind when deciding on the colours of the Pan-African flag, but they nailed THAT a part of the design. To be honest, there’s something Afrocentric about this project as well. Whether it’s intentional or not, I see more melanin fans having fun with the sets a bit greater than non-melanin fans. I even have absolutely nothing to support this claim; I’m just saying. I believe kids today like to say: LOOK. For you oldies, it’s short for “if you know you know”, which is shorthand in texts/social media that indicates some insider knowledge on a topic. I overexplained it; I’m getting old – sorry.

Either way, as someone who buys shirts in support of the teams I follow, I like that this particular away kit seems tailor-made for a certain… er… fan community. Was that the rationale? Probably not. But if it works, it works and, on this case, this kit design works wonders for me. Wakanda is not a real place, but in my heart and mind it lives rent-free, and this looks like a Wakanda-themed t-shirt. That’s why I’m here and I am unable to wait to purchase it.

For those that hate this thing – and I’ve seen quite a variety of tweets supporting the lower than thrilled cadre of people that do it – we have tackled a number of the more bizarre-looking designs; this too shall pass. Moreover, the house kits have a blue stripe, which is able to surely make the faithful much more crazy. It’s one thing to mess up your away kit, but does your house kit turn out to be pretty? Phew, Chile, ghetto.

Now if you happen to’ll excuse me, I even have to go and wait for the official pickup so I can spend my hard-earned money.

Wakanda – salute. YYKYK.
