South African Media Star Kefilwe Mabote Burns Luxury Designer Clothes After Embracing Faith

South African media personality Kefilwe Mabote has opened up about her decision to burn her expensive designer clothes after dedicating her life to Christ. The move sparked widespread debate after she shared a video of the act on social media, with many questioning why she destroyed the clothes instead of donating them to those in need.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Mabote explained that her decision was rooted in her faith. She cited biblical teachings, emphasizing that such items are considered “accursed” and should not be passed on to others.

"I’ve been getting questions about why I chose to burn Versace items instead of giving them away, and I want to take a moment to explain with care and understanding,” she wrote. “The decision to burn the items came from a place of conviction. According to the Bible, such things are considered ‘accursed’ (see Joshua 7:13 for context). For example, the image of Medusa represents a Greek god from the marine kingdom, and as believers, we cannot serve two masters.”

Mabote expressed that giving the clothes away would go against her conscience, as she believes they carry significant spiritual implications. “I can’t, in good conscience, transfer things that I know carry deep spiritual implications,” she added.

Her bold action has drawn both criticism and praise, with some applauding her unwavering commitment to her faith and others questioning the practicality of her choice.

Chris Brown Sues Warner Brothers Over Documentary Alleging Rape

American singer Chris Brown has filed a $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery, accusing the company of defamation and emotional distress over a 2024 docuseries that portrays him as a serial abuser.

The series revisits Brown's 2009 assault on Rihanna and other allegations of violence against women. Brown’s legal team contends that the documentary misrepresents events, includes fabricated details, and was deliberately sensationalized for profit, all while ignoring legal outcomes and critical context.

The lawsuit alleges Warner Bros. failed to conduct thorough fact-checking and refused to provide Brown an opportunity to share his side of the story. “This case is about the media prioritizing profits over the truth,” the complaint states. “They knowingly relied on discredited sources to perpetuate false narratives, portraying Mr. Brown as a serial rapist and abuser, despite his lack of any convictions for sex-related crimes.”

Brown’s lawyers argue that the documentary has caused significant harm to his career, reputation, and personal relationships. They claim Warner Bros.' actions amount to defamation, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, with the singer seeking $500 million in damages for lost opportunities, reputational damage, and emotional suffering.

Warner Bros. has yet to respond to the lawsuit. However, the docuseries has faced backlash from fans and observers, some of whom have accused it of exploiting Brown’s past controversies. Brown’s legal team has vowed to hold the network accountable, labeling the series a "calculated and malicious attack" on his character.

Burna Boy Warns Speed Darlington: “Misbehave Again, and You’ll Return to Detention”

Grammy-winning artist Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has responded to the release of his controversial peer, Speed Darlington, from Kuje prison.

Darlington was arrested after accusing Burna Boy of having an inappropriate relationship with embattled American rapper and music mogul Diddy. He was released on Tuesday, weeks after being granted bail.

In reaction to Darlington's release, Burna Boy issued a stern warning, threatening to send Darlington back to detention if he "misbehaves" again. He made it clear that there would be no leniency this time.

"If you like misbehave again, you’ll go back to where you come from! And this time around, there will be no mercy! Don’t m*ss with ODG," Burna Boy wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday night.

Netflix Announces Subscriber Surge and Price Increases

Netflix announced on Tuesday that it added nearly 19 million subscribers during the holiday season, closing 2024 with over 300 million global subscribers. The company credited its consistent investment in shows and films for fueling this growth while also revealing price hikes in Argentina, Canada, Portugal, and the United States.

“As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix,” the company stated in a letter to investors.

In the United States, the price of premium and standard memberships will increase by $2 per month to $25 and $18, respectively. The standard ad-supported tier will rise by $1 to $8 per month.

Netflix reported a profit of $1.87 billion on $10.25 billion in revenue for the final quarter of 2024, marking double-digit growth compared to the same period the previous year. This strong performance caused Netflix shares to soar by more than 14%, reaching over $993 in after-market trading.

“We enter 2025 with strong momentum, coming off a year with record net additions of 41 million subscribers and re-accelerated growth,” company executives said. They noted that Netflix is in a “leadership position” regarding engagement, with subscribers spending about two hours per day on the platform.

Despite its success, Netflix acknowledged the intense competition it faces from both traditional entertainment providers and big tech companies. The company plans to continue improving its platform by offering more content, refining user experiences, expanding advertising capabilities, and exploring new areas such as live programming and gaming.

Netflix closed the year with strong offerings, including the highly anticipated second season of the global hit Squid Game. The dystopian Korean drama remains the most-watched Netflix TV series to date, solidifying South Korea's cultural prominence alongside the Oscar-winning film Parasite and K-pop superstars BTS.

Ad-supported plans have also gained traction, accounting for over 55% of signups in regions where they are available and growing by nearly 30% from the previous quarter. Expanding its ad business remains a key focus for Netflix in 2025.

In late 2023, Netflix introduced an ad-subsidized subscription tier alongside a crackdown on password sharing, both aimed at bolstering subscriber growth. For 2025, the company forecasts revenue between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion, targeting a robust 29% operating margin.

Upcoming releases include new seasons of fan favorite series like Wednesday and Stranger Things. Additionally, Netflix plans to broadcast 52 weeks of WWE programming and NFL games on Christmas Day in the United States. The company has also begun offering bundled subscription packages with competitors like Peacock and Apple TV.

Despite formidable rivals, Netflix continues to dominate the streaming landscape. Disney+, launched in November 2019, has faced challenges despite featuring blockbuster franchises like Marvel and Star Wars. Over the past year, Netflix shares have risen 80%, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices, reinforcing its position as a leader in the streaming industry.
