Jojo Siwa says she’s on the mend following a scary medical episode last week. On Tuesday (Dec. 2), the singer/dancer gave fans an update on her recovery from what she said was a burst ovarian cyst that bled into her stomach.

“It’s been nothing short of an eventful weekend that’s for sure!🤍 Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers! I’m happy to say I’m doing a bit better, I’m not in the clear yet, but feeling better and doing well!,” Siwa wrote on Instagram. “I had a bit of a scare with a fever the night after I went to the hospital, but slept and woke up fever free and have been since! 🤍 resting when I can and drinking lots and lots of electrolytes! Keeping it pushing!” she added.

Siwa thanked all the fans for checking in and sending her kind messages in the post that also featured a photo gallery of her performance at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. on Friday (Nov. 28), which took place even after she was hospitalized with what she previously described as “excruciating” stomach pain just hours before showtime.

In the snaps, Siwa, 22, is seen smiling and waving to the crowd at the Black Friday mall event while wearing a bedazzled No. 23 jersey and black pants with colorful holiday decorations. She assured fans that “aside from all the drama with my Cyster” she’s had fun all week visiting different dance studios across America to teach fans the choreo to her new holiday song, “Message to the World (Little Drummer Girl).”

“It hasn’t been easy and I’ve been up and down with pain, but seeing the SMILES on the kids faces while dancing and hanging out for a little bit makes it so worth it!!,” she wrote. The post also featured the shots of her looking pained in a gurney at the hospital while giving a wan thumbs-up, as well as the singer getting loaded into an ambulance and displaying a thermometer reading 100 degrees.

In a TikTok video last week, Dace Moms alum Siwa described dealing with persistent discomfort for several days, which was made worse by walking, dancing or moving. “Every time that I’ve been dancing for the last couple of days or even just walking, my stomach would just really, really hurt,” she said at the time. After thinking it was menstrual cramps pain and calling her mom for advice, Siwa called an ambulance. At the hospital, doctors told her that one of her ovaries had a cyst on it and that it had burst and was bleeding into her stomach.

British star Dua Lipa surprised fans at her second concert in Mexico City on Tuesday night (Dec. 2) by inviting Maná‘s Fher Olvera to perform a duet of the Mexican band’s classic 1992 hit “Oye Mi Amor.” The GNP Seguros Stadium turned into a massive karaoke session celebrating one of the most iconic rock en español bands in the world.

“Tonight we are very lucky because we have someone very special who is going to sing with us,” the London diva expressed in Spanish before introducing Olvera, who stepped onto the stage amid a storm of applause. The crowd’s ovation grew louder when the unmistakable guitar chords of the song – one of Maná’s most popular tracks – began to play.

The moment was celebrated by the 65,000 attendees (according to Ocesa’s figures) gathered in the iconic capital stadium and went viral on social media soon after. Check out this fan-shared video of the special moment.

The “Oye Mi Amor” cover came after Dua performed Consuelito Velázquez’s classic “Bésame Mucho” on Monday during the first of three concerts that make up the Mexican leg of her Radical Optimism Tour, which is set to conclude on Friday (Dec. 5) at the same stadium.

The list of covers Lipa has performed by acts from Latin America and Spain since May includes: “Héroe” by Enrique Iglesias in Spain; “De Música Ligera” by Soda Stereo in Argentina; and “Tu Falta de Querer” by Mon Laferte and “El Duelo” by La Ley in Chile. In Brazil, she thrilled fans with “Magalenha” by Sergio Mendes, singing alongside Brazilian artist Carlinhos Brown. In Peru, she danced to “Cariñito” in a duet with Mauricio Mesones, while in Colombia she charmed with “Antología” by Shakira.

The conclusion of her world tour in Mexico strengthens the love affair between the artist and the Latin American country. Dua previously performed in 2017 at the Corona Capital festival and in September 2022 at the Foro Sol (now the GNP Seguros Stadium).

Burna Boy is stepping up to pay for the funerals of four individuals slain in a Stockton, Calif., mass shooting on Saturday (Nov. 29). The afrobeats star pledged to cover the costs of the funerals after learning about the heartbreaking shooting at a children’s birthday party in North Stockton.

“When I heard about the children murdered in Stockton, my heart broke. After hearing the story on The Breakfast Club, I reached out to Wack 100 and connected with Jason Lee because no family should ever face this kind of pain alone,” Burna Boy said in a press statement. “I wanted to do whatever I could to support these parents as they begin the long process of healing.”

Burna was also particularly moved by the story of Amari Peterson, a 14-year-old academic and athletic standout, who was tragically murdered. “Burna Boy’s generosity is an example of how people around the world want to help, even when they’ve never met the families impacted,” Stockton Vice Mayor and Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee said.

At a vigil for victims over the weekend, Lee added, “It’s never been gangsta to kill kids. Never. You went in a birthday party and shot people’s children. Parents brought their children out and they left with medical examiners. That is not human.”

According to NBC News, the shooter remains on the run. Law enforcement is searching for an unidentified individual, but there may have been multiple shooters.

At least 100 people gathered at a banquet hall in North Stockton for a children’s birthday party on Saturday when gunfire erupted around 6 p.m. PT. Eleven people were wounded and subsequently hospitalized. Outside of 14-year-old Peterson, the ages of the victims were eight, nine and 21.

Burna Boy is doing plenty of giving back this holiday season. The Grammy-winning artist stopped by the Boston Arts Academy earlier this week, where he committed to sponsoring the school’s Free Bodega program to support students’ needs on a day-to-day basis.
