When one thinks of “domestic violence” or hears the word “abuse,” it can invoke a variety of emotions depending on one’s personal experiences. Many might be surprised to learn that every 9 seconds in Iraq, a woman is either assaulted or beaten, and that 85% of domestic cases involve women. Globally, 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime. These alarming statistics are what motivate recording artist Steven Al Baghdadi to address the issue through his music. A firm believer that “every voice matters and that every person can make a difference,” Steven uses his platform to raise awareness about domestic violence and inspire action. His single Al Fasad, produced by Amsterdam Music Studio, has gained attention internationally. The track portrays the rapper as a supportive friend to women in abusive relationships, encouraging them to seek safety and a more fulfilling life. Steven explains, “Women have incredible worth along with unspeakable value. They don’t have to continue to settle or stay in these vicious cycles of unhealthy and toxic relationships where they are being abused spiritually, sexually, emotionally, or physically.” “I wrote Al Fasad from the heart, wanting the beat and lyrics to empower women while still staying true to my sound,” Steven added. As cases of domestic violence continue to rise, faith-based and community influencers like Steven aim to spark important conversations on how women are treated and perceived in male- dominated cultures. He emphasizes, “We as men need to be better, and do better at protecting our women, but we also need to go one step further, by ensuring that women are empowered within our society, having equal rights as us men. These women are not sexual objects, nor are they lesser than. They are somebody’s mother, sister, spouse, and best friend. I think it’s time that we should start treating them as such.” Rap and hip-hop culture have historically faced criticism for perpetuating gender stereotypes, exploitation, and objectification of women. Steven seeks to challenge this perception, using his artistry to highlight a woman’s true worth and value. He has been recognized by music industry insiders for his innovative style and content. Beyond music, he plans to engage directly in the fight against human trafficking, partnering with organizations addressing sex trafficking in major hotspots worldwide. He states, “Nobody deserves to be a human slave. Human trafficking is anti-human, and it is the biggest depravity and pandemic that I believe we face as a society and in the world. We must all do our part, not only to fight it, but to eliminate it. It starts with us.”

Les Parisiennes ont subi une pénalité assez rocambolesque après une réserve déposée par le club de Fleury. Arrivée à l'intersaison en provenance d'une université américaine, sans contrat professionnel, la Canadienne Florianne Jourde est à l'origine sans le vouloir d'une pénalité pour son équipe d'une perte de 9 points au classement d'Arkéma Première Ligue. Soit trois matchs perdus contre Fleury, Strasbourg et Le Havre alors que le PSG l'avait emporté lors de ces trois rencontres. Si Paris s'estime dans son bon droit et veut faire appel, il en reste néanmoins pour le moment hors du top 4, qualificatif pour les play-offs en fin de saison. Petit point concernant le dossier, l'appel et la position du PSG à l'aube de la 13e journée de championnat ce week-end.

‌A$AP Rocky stepped away from celebrating his massive album success to honor the man who made it all possible. The Harlem rapper posted an emotional tribute to A$AP Yams on Sunday, marking 11 years since his mentor’s tragic death. Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb album just shattered streaming records with 35.43 million first-day Spotify plays. The project already moved over 130,000 vinyl units before hitting digital platforms. Industry predictions show the album could debut at number one on Billboard 200 with 300,000 to 320,000 total units. But none of that mattered on Yams Day. “I LOVE U STEVE , U STILL CHANGING MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER A WHOLE DECADE LATER , HAPPY YAMS DAY! #LONGLIVEYAMS,” Rocky wrote on Twitter. I LOVE U STEVE , U STILL CHANGING MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER A WHOLE DECADE LATER , HAPPY YAMS DAY! #LONGLIVEYAMS— LORD FLACKO JODYE II (@asvpxrocky) January 18, 2026 Steven Rodriguez, known as A$AP Yams, founded A$AP Mob in the late 2000s. He discovered Rocky around 2008 when the future star was just starting to take rap seriously. Yams brought industry knowledge from his time as a Diplomat Records intern. The mentor shaped Rocky’s early career trajectory and helped build the A$AP Worldwide empire. Yams connected Rocky with the right producers, taught him about Hip-Hop history and guided his artistic vision during those crucial formative years. Everything changed on January 18, 2015. Yams was found dead at age 26 in his New York apartment. The medical examiner ruled his death an accidental overdose from mixed drug intoxication, including opiates and benzodiazepines.

They claimed Yams died from sleep apnea complications. The official toxicology report later confirmed the presence of multiple substances in his system. Rocky dedicated his 2015 album At. Long. Last. ASAP to Yams’ memory. The project featured Yams as executive producer, completed using his creative input and vision. Every Yams Day since then brings the same ritual of remembrance. This year’s tribute carries extra weight with Rocky’s career resurgence. Don’t Be Dumb marks his first album since 2018’s TESTING. The eight-year gap between projects makes the success even sweeter. Fourteen tracks from Don’t Be Dumb debuted inside Spotify’s US Top 100. “Helicopter” leads the charge as the album’s breakout single. Streaming numbers suggest Rocky could claim his first number-one album.
