Shawn Mendes performs onstage during the 8th annual "We Can Survive" concert hosted by Audacy at Hollywood Bowl on October 23, 2021 in Los Angeles, California
Amy Sussman/GI for AudacyShawn Mendes has paid the price for trying to look good on Instagram.
Over the weekend, the “Wonder” singer shared a snap of himself shirtless while taking a hike with friends in Los Angeles. Though Mendes’ friend was able to capture a quality picture of the singer for his Instagram feed, the behind-the-scenes video from the shoot shows the 23-year-old nearly slipping down a steep trail after flexing his muscles for the camera while John Mayer’s “Gravity” appropriately plays in the background.
Thankfully, Mendes was able to pull himself up and was fine enough to share the hilarious moment to his Instagram feed. “I guess that’s what I get,” he captioned the post, making fun of himself for trying to show off.
Apart from shirtless snaps, Mendes has shared progress reports on his forthcoming music. Most recently, the hitmaker has been teasing new music online, posting various clips of him in the studio with collaborators and even sharing a clip of a song.
On Jan. 18, Mendes posted a 12-second clip of him in a car on FaceTime, jamming out to a demo of a song he’s been working on during the call. The clip then cut to the crooner in the studio, working on the same high-energy track on guitar in the studio. “Y’all dig this?” Mendes asked in the video’s caption. Ex-girlfriend and “Señorita” collaborator Camila Cabello commented on the post, writing, “Ur crazy wildcat” — a reference to High School Musical and the signature line Vanessa Hudgens’ Gabriella says to Zac Efron’s Troy.

NBA YoungBoy has faced several hardships in recent years. Along with serving time behind bars, the rapper has also dealt with mental health challenges linked to the painful experiences in his life.
His music has often given listeners insight into that pain. During a recent appearance with Funny Marco on Open Thoughts, YoungBoy opened up even further about what he has been going through.
During the conversation, YoungBoy revealed that he no longer plans to live in the United States. He confirmed that he currently resides in South Korea. Although he did not share why he chose that country, his comments suggest he is ready to leave his life in America behind.
Funny Marco asked YoungBoy whether he might ever move back to the United States. The rapper responded with “never in life,” though he admitted that he could return for a visit someday.
Before relocating, YoungBoy lived on a ranch in Utah, where local residents had gradually started becoming more comfortable with him. His new home in South Korea now places him in a completely different cultural environment.
Adjusting to such a major change may not be easy, but YoungBoy has shown his strength and appears confident about where he wants to live. After experiencing so much pain in the United States, he seemingly feels more comfortable keeping his distance.
The move also comes as he deals with serious health concerns involving his heart. The condition remains an ongoing concern, and we hope the artist receives the support he needs as he continues facing this difficult medical situation.
