Una emergencia alteró el desarrollo de uno de los recientes retos de ‘MasterChef Celebrity’. Jimmy Vásquez sufrió una fuerte quemadura mientras participaba en una prueba de eliminación y tuvo que abandonar la competencia para recibir atención médica.
El accidente ocurrió durante la noche del 6 de septiembre, mientras los participantes se encontraban desarrollando el desafío. Debido a la lesión, el actor tuvo que ser trasladado a un centro médico, donde fue valorado por especialistas.
La revisión médica determinó que Vásquez presentaba quemaduras de segundo grado, por lo que recibió varios días de incapacidad. Esta situación le impidió continuar con la prueba que estaba realizando junto a sus compañeros y también lo mantuvo alejado de la siguiente jornada de eliminación.
La lesión cambió temporalmente su participación
La ausencia de Jimmy Vásquez se produjo en medio de una etapa decisiva del programa. Mientras el resto de concursantes continuó con las pruebas establecidas, el actor debió concentrarse en su recuperación debido a las indicaciones médicas.

Su salida momentánea de la cocina generó dudas sobre lo que ocurriría con su participación en el reality, especialmente porque no pudo completar el reto en el que sufrió el accidente.
En esa jornada, Sebastián Vega terminó siendo el participante eliminado. Vásquez, por su parte, no estuvo presente debido a la incapacidad que recibió después de ser atendido por la quemadura.
Sin embargo, la situación no significó que el actor quedara eliminado de manera inmediata. La producción decidió establecer una condición especial para determinar su continuidad una vez pueda reincorporarse a la competencia.
Así será el regreso de Jimmy Vásquez
Claudia Bahamón fue la encargada de explicar qué ocurrirá cuando el actor pueda regresar a la cocina. Según lo anunciado durante el programa, Vásquez tendrá que enfrentarse a un nuevo reto de eliminación.

La decisión significa que su regreso no estará acompañado de una permanencia asegurada. En lugar de reincorporarse directamente al grupo y continuar con las siguientes pruebas, deberá demostrar en ese desafío que todavía tiene un lugar dentro de la competencia.
Además, Bahamón explicó que el participante tendrá que conservar el delantal negro hasta enfrentarse a la prueba. Por esta razón, su retorno estará marcado desde el comienzo por el riesgo de abandonar el programa.
La medida pone a Vásquez ante un escenario particular: después de superar el periodo de recuperación, tendrá que volver a los fogones y enfrentarse a una prueba cuyo resultado definirá si continúa o no en ‘MasterChef Celebrity’.
El actor deberá esperar para volver a la cocina
Por ahora, la prioridad para Jimmy Vásquez es recuperarse de las lesiones ocasionadas por el accidente. Los días de incapacidad otorgados por los especialistas determinarán el periodo durante el cual permanecerá alejado de las grabaciones.
La situación ocurrió durante una de las pruebas de eliminación de la producción y terminó modificando el camino que el actor llevaba dentro de la competencia.
La información sobre el accidente y la determinación tomada posteriormente por el programa fue divulgada por Semana, medio que reportó que Vásquez sufrió quemaduras de segundo grado y recibió incapacidad médica tras ser trasladado a un centro asistencial.
De esta manera, su participación en ‘MasterChef Celebrity’ continúa abierta, pero con una condición clara: cuando pueda regresar, no tendrá asegurada su permanencia y deberá enfrentarse a un reto de eliminación para definir su futuro en la competencia.
Un momento que comenzó como una jornada familiar terminó en un episodio de inseguridad para el cantante vallenato Samuel Morales, hijo del fallecido artista Kaleth Morales. El intérprete denunció a través de sus redes sociales que fue víctima de un atraco mientras se encontraba acompañado por su esposa y su hija en un establecimiento comercial de Villa Campestre, en Puerto Colombia, Atlántico.
Según el relato compartido por Morales, durante el hecho un hombre lo amenazó con un arma de fuego y le quitó algunos objetos de valor. El cantante hizo pública la situación mediante una publicación en Instagram, donde puso el foco no solamente en la pérdida de sus pertenencias, sino en las circunstancias en las que ocurrió el robo.
En su mensaje, Morales explicó que el delincuente lo intimidó mientras sus familiares estaban presentes. “Acabo de ser víctima de robo y el delincuente me apuntó con un arma al frente de mi hija y mi mujer”, escribió.
La denuncia generó atención entre sus seguidores, especialmente por tratarse de un hecho ocurrido en un espacio donde el artista se encontraba acompañado de sus seres queridos.
Morales cuestionó la seguridad del sector
Después de dar a conocer lo ocurrido, el cantante se refirió a las condiciones de seguridad en Villa Campestre y dirigió un llamado a las autoridades para que se tomen medidas frente a este tipo de situaciones.
Morales expresó su inconformidad con la situación que, desde su perspectiva, atraviesa el sector. En una de sus publicaciones afirmó: “La seguridad de Villa Campestre está cada día peor”.

El artista también diferenció entre el valor de los objetos que le fueron sustraídos y las consecuencias que puede generar un episodio de este tipo. Para él, las pertenencias pueden recuperarse, mientras que una intimidación con arma representa una situación de mayor gravedad.
En ese sentido, pidió que las autoridades y la Policía atiendan la problemática de seguridad y trabajen para evitar que hechos similares continúen ocurriendo. También cuestionó que los responsables puedan cometer este tipo de delitos sin enfrentar consecuencias.

Morales señaló además que este tipo de situaciones terminan afectando la percepción que se tiene de la ciudad. De acuerdo con lo que manifestó en sus redes sociales, tiene previsto compartir evidencias relacionadas con el presunto responsable del robo.
El cantante mostró una actitud de resiliencia después del episodio
Luego de contar lo sucedido, Samuel Morales publicó fotografías en las que mostró una actitud positiva frente a lo ocurrido. En una de ellas acompañó la imagen con un mensaje relacionado con su fe y con la manera en que decidió afrontar el momento.
“SEGUIMOS EN VICTORIA… Gracias, Dios, por nunca abandonar a tus hijos”, escribió el artista, quien también respondió a quienes pudieran interpretar el nuevo episodio como una señal de mala suerte.
Su mensaje terminó con una expresión de fortaleza ante la situación: “Aquí sigo levantándome con más fuerza”.
La publicación permitió conocer la posición del cantante después del atraco, aunque la información difundida no establece que se hayan producido lesiones físicas durante el hecho.
Un nuevo episodio de inseguridad en 2026
El caso ocurrido en Villa Campestre se suma a otro episodio de inseguridad que había involucrado al cantante meses atrás.
El 15 de mayo de 2026, Morales fue reportado como desaparecido luego de asistir a un evento en Bogotá. Posteriormente, sus familiares confirmaron que había sido localizado y señalaron que había sido víctima de un robo.
En ese momento circularon versiones sobre las circunstancias en las que se produjo el hecho, aunque algunos detalles no fueron confirmados oficialmente. Ahora, varios meses después, el artista vuelve a denunciar una situación relacionada con la delincuencia, esta vez en el departamento del Atlántico.
La nueva denuncia fue realizada directamente por Morales mediante sus redes sociales y pone nuevamente sobre la mesa su preocupación por la seguridad en los lugares que frecuenta.
Por ahora, el cantante ha centrado su pronunciamiento en relatar lo sucedido, cuestionar las condiciones de seguridad de Villa Campestre y solicitar una respuesta de las autoridades frente a la delincuencia en el sector.
Shakira y Maluma volverán a compartir créditos musicales con Agua, una canción que llegará a las plataformas digitales el próximo 17 de septiembre de 2026. El proyecto fue confirmado por el cantante paisa mediante una publicación que inicialmente mantuvo en secreto la identidad de la artista que lo acompañaría.
La expectativa comenzó con una fotografía publicada en las historias de Instagram de Maluma. En la imagen se observaban dos siluetas frente a una ventana iluminada: una mujer de pie y un hombre sentado en una silla. La escena, cuidadosamente presentada para no revelar el rostro de la acompañante, estuvo acompañada por el mensaje: “Mañana anuncio nueva colaboración”.
La incógnita se mantuvo durante varias horas, hasta que el artista compartió una nueva fotografía en la que finalmente apareció junto a Shakira. La producción conserva el escenario de la primera imagen, con las cortinas de estampado de tigre y la misma silla, aunque esta vez ambos intérpretes aparecen claramente identificados.
La fotografía promocional también guarda una relación visual con el nombre del sencillo. El reflejo de los artistas sobre el piso crea la apariencia de una superficie de agua, mientras que la iluminación cálida domina toda la composición.
Junto a la imagen, Maluma escribió “Nos fuimos Mundialllll ”. La publicación confirmó además el título de la canción y su fecha de estreno.
Por ahora, los intérpretes no han revelado detalles sobre el sonido de Agua, su proceso de producción o la posibilidad de que el sencillo tenga un videoclip. Tampoco se ha informado qué sello discográfico estará a cargo del lanzamiento.
Una colaboración que retoma una historia musical
La nueva canción representa el tercer encuentro profesional entre ambos artistas. Su primera colaboración fue Chantaje, lanzada en 2016, mientras que en 2018 volvieron a trabajar juntos en Clandestino.
Ambos temas alcanzaron una amplia repercusión internacional y establecieron una fórmula que ahora tendrá una nueva oportunidad con Agua. La diferencia es que esta vez el anuncio llegó después de varios años sin una canción conjunta, lo que explica parte de la expectativa generada entre sus seguidores.

Algunos seguidores también aprovecharon el anuncio para pedir que los dos artistas realicen un proyecto de mayor extensión. Sin embargo, hasta ahora no existe confirmación de un álbum conjunto ni de otros lanzamientos relacionados con esta colaboración.
El giro de Maluma hacia el talento colombiano
El lanzamiento de Agua coincide con una etapa en la que Maluma ha hablado de una transformación en sus prioridades profesionales. En una entrevista para el programa All-Access, de Univisión, el cantante explicó que durante una parte de su carrera estuvo muy enfocado en conseguir colaboraciones con artistas estadounidenses.
Según relató, aquella búsqueda estaba relacionada con la idea de alcanzar el llamado “sueño americano”. Con el tiempo, esa perspectiva cambió y comenzó a darle mayor importancia a la escena musical de su propio país.
El artista vinculó esta nueva mirada con Loco por volver, trabajo que, de acuerdo con sus declaraciones, le permitió reconectarse con sus raíces y replantear el rumbo que quería darle a su carrera.
En esa conversación, Maluma destacó su interés por acompañar a las nuevas generaciones de artistas urbanos colombianos. Su intención, explicó, está ahora más relacionada con el desarrollo del talento local que con la necesidad de buscar constantemente referentes o tendencias en Estados Unidos.
Para el cantante, esta decisión también tiene un componente familiar. Al hablar del “sueño colombiano”, hizo referencia a sus propias aspiraciones y a las de su familia, especialmente a sus abuelos, como parte de las razones que lo llevan a mantener una conexión más cercana con sus raíces.
Aunque ha manifestado ese interés por fortalecer la música de su país, Maluma continúa participando en proyectos de alcance internacional. Una muestra reciente es Cuerpo (Tumabo), colaboración que realizó con Beyoncé.
Ahora, el artista prepara un nuevo lanzamiento internacional, esta vez acompañado por Shakira. El resultado de esta tercera colaboración entre los dos colombianos podrá escucharse desde el 17 de septiembre, cuando Agua llegue oficialmente a las plataformas digitales.
El Juzgado Segundo Penal del Circuito de Turbo absolvió a Javier Arias Castañeda, conocido en las plataformas digitales como Javier Arias Stunt, dentro del proceso penal que se le adelantaba por el delito de fabricación, tráfico y porte de armas de fuego de uso privativo o de defensa personal.
La determinación obedeció a la incapacidad probatoria del ente acusador para atribuirle al generador de contenido la tenencia del material bélico incautado.
Las investigaciones se remitían al pasado 12 de marzo en el corregimiento El Totumo, municipio de Necoclí, donde las autoridades hallaron cinco armas de fuego y abundante munición en un predio donde se encontraban cinco ciudadanos más, situación que impidió individualizar la propiedad de las evidencias.

A través de sus canales digitales, el empresario celebró la notificación judicial emitida por el tribunal y agradeció la labor de su equipo de defensa.
Durante la intervención en sus redes, Javier Arias Stunt cuestionó el manejo informativo que se le dio al operativo policial tras su detención inicial y aseguró que continuará adelantando sus actividades comerciales e iniciativas comunitarias en el departamento de Antioquia.
Aunque el imputado acreditó desde las primeras diligencias la procedencia legal de más de $200 millones de pesos confiscados en el procedimiento, permaneció vinculado formalmente hasta la última audiencia programada por el tribunal. Tras el fallo que lo exime de responsabilidad penal, la figura mediática festejó su libertad exhibiendo la adquisición de nuevos vehículos importados de alta gama ante sus miles de seguidores.

A former management executive claims in a new lawsuit that N.O.R.E. sexually assaulted her during an album promotion event in 1999.
Carmen Bryan, a former finance officer at Def Jam affiliate Rush Management who shares a child with Nas, filed civil claims against N.O.R.E. (born Victor James Santiago Jr.) on Wednesday (Sept. 9). The lawsuit, obtained by Billboard, seeks unspecified financial damages for “severe emotional distress.”
Related
Bryan, who ran in the same circles as N.O.R.E. in the 1990s, alleges the rapper assaulted her at a Manhattan nightclub while he was doing pre-release promotion for his sophomore album Melvin Flynt Da Hustler in May 1999. According to the lawsuit, N.O.R.E. grabbed Bryan while “visibly intoxicated” and “committed an act of non-consensual digital penetration.”
“Ms. Bryan made clear verbal objections and repeatedly pleaded for Santiago to stop,” reads the legal complaint. “Santiago ignored her objections and pleas. Santiago physically overpowered Ms. Bryan.”
Afterward, N.O.R.E. allegedly recognized Bryan crying outside the club and apologized, saying, “Carm, I didn’t know it was you. You’re always doing something different with your hair.” Bryan says he repeated a similar apology a few weeks later at a barbecue that she and Nas hosted for their daughter’s birthday.
Bryan claims she disclosed the assault the day after it occurred to Jay-Z, a “trusted confidant.” She says Jay-Z “reacted strongly and threatened to confront” N.O.R.E., but Bryan asked him not to because she didn’t want to escalate the situation. She ultimately opted not to report the assault.
“She struggled agonizingly between the urgent need to address the violation of her bodily autonomy and the intense, culturally ingrained pressure to avoid bringing legal or public harm to a successful Black male,” read the lawsuit. “In an environment that routinely demanded absolute loyalty to the artist over the safety of women, advocating for her own basic human rights felt akin to a direct betrayal of the culture itself.”
Bryan alleges that she suppressed the trauma of the incident for years. That changed in 2023, when her memories were triggered by R&B singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura’s explosive sexual misconduct lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Bryan says she could not eat or sleep after the news broke and ultimately decided to pursue legal action of her own.
Now, Bryan is suing N.O.R.E. under New York City’s Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, which opened a limited window to bring sexual assault claims that would otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations.
Bryan’s attorneys, Marjorie Mesidor and Heather Palmore, said in a statement shared with Billboard, “For far too long, the music and nightlife industries have normalized sexual violence, treating non-consensual contact and physical domination as an occupational hazard or ‘par for the course’ — as if enduring abuse is somehow what women signed up for when entering these spaces.”
“No woman signs up to be assaulted,” added Mesidor and Palmore. “The assertion that an assault is excusable — or simply did not happen — because a perpetrator failed to recognize his victim strips women of their fundamental humanity. Ms. Bryan is coming forward not only to demand accountability for the lasting trauma and public humiliation inflicted upon her, but to challenge the culture of entitlement that treats women’s bodies as collateral damage.”
Reps for N.O.R.E. did not immediately return a request for comment. A rep for Jay-Z, who is not accused of any wrongdoing, also did not return an inquiry.
Harry Styles has confirmed that 2027 dates for his Together, Together world tour are on the way.
In an emailed note to fans sent Wednesday night (Sept. 9), Styles thanked all the fans who have already joined him at dates in Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City and his current residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden. “When we decided to do the 2026 tour I knew it would be special but what you turned it into was far beyond what I could have imagined,” he wrote.

Find Styles’ full note to fans below:
Hello.
When we decided to do the 2026 tour I knew it would be special but what you turned it into was far beyond what I could have imagined. I love playing music, I love being with all of you and being a part of the love and joy you all create together every night. That’s why I wanted you to be the first to know we will be adding 2027 dates, which honestly, at first I found daunting. Being an artist is the only life I’ve ever known really, I have been doing this since I was 16 years old, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world to still be sharing these moments with you.
Tomorrow’s announcement will be the final cities of Together, Together. After that, I don’t know what comes next for me, but I know that I’m excited to find out.

Kacey Musgraves is officially on the road for her Middle of Nowhere tour this fall, bringing her seventh studio album to cities across the U.S.
The musician kicked off her Middle of Nowhere 2026 tour on Aug. 21 in Chicago at United Center before continuing with stops in Boston, Baltimore, Kansas City, Phoenix and Los Angeles. The U.S. leg will conclude in Seattle at Climate Pledge Arena on Oct. 27. Tickets to Musgraves’ remaining 2026 tour dates are still available online, including through Ticketmaster.

The album surpassed her 2024 release Deeper Well, which opened with 97,000 units. The tour features tracks from Middle of Nowhere, including “Dry Spell,” “Coyote” and “Loneliest Girl,” plus a particularly eye-catching stage prop: a giant disco ball shaped like human testicles that made its debut during the tour’s opening night in Chicago.
The sparkly set piece has since become one of the tour’s most talked-about moments, with Musgraves joking about it during her Sept. 1 show at Madison Square Garden. “My manager didn’t tell me no,” she quipped while performing “Rhinestoned.”
Below, we’ll be showing you where you can buy affordable tickets to Musgraves’ 2026 tour. We’ve also included promo codes to bump pricing down further.

UPDATE (Sept. 9): Local authorities have denied an application to reinstate permits for a canceled performance in Istanbul.
A letter from the Istanbul Provincial Police Department dated Monday (Sept. 7) and reviewed by Billboard says the decision to deny the new application was made given the possibility that “differing views and reactions which may arise before or during the event could come into confrontation, thereby disrupting public order.” The statement continues that situations requiring the attention of security forces might happen and that it could therefore be difficult to made sure the event happens safely. The letter says that as such, holding the event under current circumstances “would not be appropriate in terms of public order and security.”
PREVIOUSLY: The promoter of a canceled Anyma performance in Turkey is appealing the decision by local authorities.
On Sunday (Sept. 6), Anyma announced that the show, scheduled to take place on Saturday (Sept. 12) at Istanbul’s Ataköy Marina Arena as part of his ÆDEN tour, had been canceled after visuals from a previous performance were changed with AI to make them appear different than they actually are.

“Selected darker moments from our story and show were taken out of context, manipulated with AI, paired with other music and circulated online to manufacture a false sinister narrative that simply does not exist and does not reflect the show’s essence or intention,” the artist born Matteo Milleri wrote on social media.
Religious groups claimed the visuals and the show at large were satanic and petitioned the Turkish Ministry of Culture, which subsequently revoked the previously approved show permits. Anyma’s statement continued that he and his team did not get the opportunity to discuss that decision with local authorities.
“None of my visuals are AI-generated and the greatest irony is that AI was used to alter my work by those who condemn it and they ultimately turned it into something to fit their own narrative,” Anyma’s statement added. “My art was turned into social media and political propaganda. What happened next is unacceptable…. Neither my team, the promoter, nor I received any meaningful warning or opportunity for dialogue before the show was cancelled. Nobody asked us to explain the work, provide context or discuss possible adaptations. We were and are ready to do so. We strongly reject the false religious and political meaning being attributed to this work. We have performed around the world and have always engaged in respectful conversation according to the local culture and customs. We would have willingly done the same in Türkiye, had legitimate concerns been raised through dialogue.”
The Turkish promoter of the performance has now submitted a second permit application that includes Anyma’s statement, along with the request for the decision to be reconsidered so the event can proceed as scheduled.
But with the Turkish government shutting down myriad musical performances by artists including Robbie Williams, Polish metal band Behemoth, Russian band Slaughter to Prevail and others over the last several years for reasons related to safety, politics and religion, security risks around the Anyma show remain high even if the permit is reinstated.
The Sept. 12 show had been anticipating roughly 12,000 international attendees. The promoters, as such, estimated that the performance could have represented millions in marketing, media and tourism value.
Anyma’s ÆDEN tour is scheduled for stops in Milan on Sept. 19, Madrid on Sept. 26 and shows in Sydney, Athens, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, Paris and Santiago De Chile through the end of 2026.

A civil lawsuit from the parents of murdered teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez has opened up a second front in D4vd’s legal battle. This new case doesn’t just target the “Romantic Homicide” singer – it also claims his managers are partially at fault for Rivas’ sexual abuse.
The claims by Mercedes Martinez and Jesus Rivas Alvarado, obtained by Billboard, were submitted to Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday (Sept. 4). 21-year-old D4vd (born David Anthony Burke) was already facing criminal charges alleging he stabbed Rivas to death and dismembered her body after the 14-year-old threatened to go public with their illegal sexual relationship in April 2025. He has pled not guilty.

It’s common for the families of murder victims to bring their own private lawsuits in addition to the criminal process; OJ Simpson, for example, famously faced lengthy civil litigation despite his acquittal. Like in D4vd’s criminal case, the new civil lawsuit alleges that the singer acted alone in killing Rivas, and he’s the only one facing claims for wrongful death. However, Rivas’ parents are alleging that various people in D4vd’s orbit should also be held financially liable for the sexual abuse of Rivas, which allegedly began when she was 13 years old.
Among those accused of negligence in the lawsuit are D4vd’s management company, Mogul Vision, its CEO Josh Marshall and his day-to-day manager Robert Morgenroth. The group had guided D4vd’s ascendant pop career since its early days; D4vd told Billboard in a 2023 interview that Marshall discovered him on SoundCloud before the success of his breakout 2022 single “Romantic Homicide.”
The new lawsuit alleges that the Mogul Vision team, alongside D4vd’s mother and live-in security guard, “made arrangements that enabled Burke to be alone with Decedent and to continue his abuse of her.” It says Mogul Vision leased the Hollywood Hills home where D4vd lived, and that Morgenroth even had his own room at the house.
“[They] knew or should have known of Burke’s dangerous propensities toward, and sexual exploitation of, Decedent, a minor, and failed to take reasonable steps to protect her, to supervise Burke, or to prevent the continued abuse,” reads the lawsuit.
Rivas’ parents are seeking unspecified financial damages in the case. Marshall and Morgenroth did not immediately return requests for comment on the claims.
Legal experts tell Billboard that D4vd’s managers might indeed be on the hook, depending on what the facts and evidence ultimately show. “Enabling child sex abuse is a crime, and in the civil courts, a person or entity can be held civilly liable for its role in allowing the abuse to occur,” says Dave Ring, an attorney who specializes in sexual abuse litigation.
“The relationship between D4vd and Celeste went on for some time,” says Ring. “How did D4vd’s key personnel not know what was taking place? That will be the main focus of the lawsuit.”
James McMillan, a lawyer and founder of the label and management company Art@War, notes that the Mogul Vision team could be in trouble even if they weren’t explicitly told Rivas was underage. That’s because the negligence standard allows for liability when a person “should have known” about wrongdoing — that is, if they turned a blind eye to something obvious.
“It’s not just if they knew specifically, but if they should have known based on inferences,” says McMillan. “What did she look like? Did she look like a little kid? That would be up for a jury or a judge to decide.”
For McMillan, the lawsuit serves as a reminder that managers “have a responsibility as human beings to govern ourselves accordingly and be good citizens.” While the D4vd case is extreme, he says that managers are often put in tough positions with their artist clients, whether that be witnessing criminal conduct or just bad behavior that reflects poorly on them.
“You’ve got a decision to make whether you want to be involved in something like that or if you want to turn a blind eye,” says McMillan. “Managers who are smart have to make decisions that are in alignment with the longevity and success of their long-term career and not get caught up in the moment with an artist.”
