Kathy Griffin Shaved Her Head: Here’s Why!

Kathy Griffin has been more than a little controversial over the course of her career, but her most recent move has been something that everyone can support.

The actress and comedian has shaved her head, for a very meaningful reason.

And no, it has nothing to do with Trump.

Kathy Griffin Shaved Her Head: Here's Why!

A writer who contributes to multiple news outlets shared a pair of photos of Kathy’s freshly shaved head over Twitter, explaining in the caption:

“In solidarity with her sister, who is going through chemo, @kathygriffin shaved her head.”

That is so heartbreaking to read about Kathy’s sister, Joyce Griffin.

It would be about anyone, of course.

But cancer is especially personal to Kathy and her family.

Kathy Griffin’s older brother, Gary, died in 2014 after losing his battle with cancer.

In the first photo, Kathy poses topless, running a hand across her now bare scalp in wonder at a sensation that people never feel in their lives.

In the second photo, we see Kathy’s mother, Maggie Griffin, respond.

Kathy Griffin’s mother is nearly as famous as she is, for her role on My Life On The D-List and for Kathy’s stories about her mother shared during stand-up comedy.

Maggie is quite a character herself, as you know if you’ve ever heard anything that she’s said.

Maggie quoted the tweet and added her own comment:

“My daughter Kathleen Mary is a wonderful human being.”

Look at how cute Maggie looks in the photo!

Of course, Kathy Griffin is still reeling from the overblown backlash over that controversial photo she made with Tyler Shields.

You know, the one where she’s holding up “Trump’s head” as if she’s just decapitated him.

Like … it was in poor taste, absolutely.

And she shouldn’t have done it.

But the blowback on it would have been comical if the consequences for it hadn’t been so serious.

Kathy Griffin lost multiple jobs over it in the ensuing outrage.

Of course, the Trump team capitalized on it immediately, with the orange man himself making the ludicrous claim about his young son, Barron.

Barron is arguably the only innocent among the Trump children (like Donald himself, we don’t really want to talk about Tiffany right now).

So he was perfect for Trump to point to and say that Barron believed that the photo was real when he saw it.

First of all, chances are pretty good that Barron didn’t see it at all.

Second of all, Barron is 11, not 4.

Pretending that he’d gone into a parent at the thought of his father having been murdered by a comedian that the tween had almost certainly never heard of was nothing short of absurd.

But Kathy Griffin shouldn’t have posed for the photo.

(She knows that and apologized as soon as it leaked)

If she hadn’t, the Trump team couldn’t have used up to stir up their followers like they did.

Brace yourselves, because someone will inevitably call this a “publicity stunt.”

They’ll accuse Kathy of doing this to get back into the public’s good graces.

She did this because her sister has cancer, you guys.

There’s no conspiracy behind it.

Just love. And solidarity.

OdumoduBlvck recently praised Mavin Records founder Don Jazzy in an interview with Beats FM.

The rapper discussed his latest project, “Nothing Changed,” a collaborative effort with the Anti-World Gangsters crew. The album features Don Jazzy on the track “Asampete.”

OdumoduBlvck revealed that after recording “Asampete,” he felt the song would benefit from Don Jazzy’s contribution. When approached, Don Jazzy readily agreed to the request.

During their meeting, Don Jazzy not only added his vocals to the song but also surprised OdumoduBlvck with a generous gift of $10,000.

Impressively, Don Jazzy declined any royalties for his contribution to the track.

“When I went to his house to get his vocals, he gave me $10,000 and even my friend was asking me why he gave me such a huge amount of money,” he narrated in the interview.

OdumoduBlvck further praised Don Jazzy, describing him as the most original personality in the Nigerian music industry and a true icon.

“There’s nobody more original than Don Jazzy…The way the younger artists look up to Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, and Olamide today is how they used to look up to Don Jazzy”.

OdumoduBlvck’s praise for Don Jazzy’s generosity and influence on the Nigerian music industry echoes sentiments expressed by numerous artists whose careers have been shaped by the Mavin Records boss.

Four-time Grammy nominee Davido has credited Don Jazzy and D’banj’s flamboyant lifestyle for inspiring him to relocate to Nigeria and pursue his musical aspirations.

Don Jazzy’s philanthropic endeavours also continue to make headlines. Recently, he donated a substantial sum of 100 million naira to Very Dark Man’s charity.

“Seeking to be liked by all is a sign that you are emotionally and spiritually imbalanced! Some people will hate you because to hate is what gives them joy!! Because they are genetically wicked!!! So get used to not being liked!!!!1 John 5:19.”

The actress’s post ignited a flurry of reactions in her comment section, with followers expressing support and sharing their personal reflections.

Actress Sola Sobowale commented simply, “Fact.”

Other followers shared their thoughts, with one writing, “Anyone who is always seeking validation from the public whenever he or she does something, just know say that person no clear 💯.”

“Caring what people think about you is natural. Letting it drive your behaviours and keep you from doing things you believe in is usually a sign of,” said another person.

Another Instagram user shed more light on the issue, saying,

“codependency conditioning. The core belief in codependency is: what people think of me defines what I think of me. My mother always said, “Your opinion of me is none of my business.” It can get real exhausting perceiving yourself through the eyes of others. No matter how pure your intention, you cannot control how people receive you. Give others the freedom to perceive you as they wish, for it’s merely a reflection of themselves and not your reality. Never mind who sees you. Do you see you?”

“I don’t like people who wanna be liked by everyone, just do you and move on,”

“Thisss ,it’s okay to be a bad person in another persons story ,Only God is PERFECT 👍”

Elozonam Reflects On How “Japa” Makes It Hard For Him To Make Friends

Elozonam on how ‘japa’ makes it hard for him to make friends | fab.ng

Former BBNaija star and content creator Elozonam revealed how Nigeria’s “japa” syndrome—where individuals emigrate in search of better opportunities abroad—has impacted his personal relationships, especially with friends and family.

During a conversation on the Uncoloured Podcast, hosted by fellow BBNaija alum Venita, Elozonam candidly shared how his twin brother’s relocation has significantly altered their once-close dynamic.

“For my twin brother and I, being twins, we naturally used to argue a lot,” Elozonam said. “But after he left, there was nothing to fight about. Now I have to consciously reach out to him because there are days or weeks when I don’t hear from him. It’s frustrating, but I understand that everyone has to do what they need to survive and build a better life.”

Elozonam reflected on how the japa wave has reshaped his social circle. He traced the trend back to 2018 when his former boss moved abroad with his family.

“That seemed to open the floodgates,” he said. “Since then, people have been leaving one after the other. It’s exhausting. You become hesitant to form new friendships because you don’t know if they’ll just up and leave tomorrow.”

He expressed deep frustration about Nigeria’s deteriorating economy and infrastructure. He acknowledged that unemployment, insecurity, and poor living conditions push many Nigerians to seek better opportunities in other countries.

“Between 2018 and 2024, I’ve seen so many people leave. Nigeria isn’t improving, and everyone wants a better future. It’s hard to blame them, but it’s also hard for those of us left behind.”

Watch the interview below.

“…you’re now too wary of making new friends. Nigeria is not getting any better. We all know this”
