Lionel Messi’s press conference tissue is selling for $1 million

Aug 19 2021

Of all of the things Lionel Messi is being associated with at the moment, one of the key words is ‘money’ as the Argentinian football superstar is selling kits and merchandise left, right and centre and shows no signs of slowing down.

However, one piece of Messi memorabilia that definitely caught everyone off guard is the tissue he used during the emotional FC Barcelona farewell press conference, which is selling for a whopping $1 million.

The tissue was reportedly obtained by an anonymous man who sat in the front row of the press conference and managed to pick it up, going on to put it on international auction site Meikeduo.

The unique sales pitch attached with the auction of this tissue is that it “contains Messi’s genetic material”; the tissue remains for sale without any bids as of yet.

Lizzo calls out fat phobic and racist hate following new song release

Aug 18 2021

After releasing the new song ‘Rumors’ alongside Cardi B, artist addressed the wave of hate comments directed at her bodyside and race on a video viewed more than 10 million times. The song itself addressed the criticisms she received before, with one verse asking ‘Why you spending all your time trying to break a woman down?’. The three-time Grammy winner opened up how she was less tolerant of hateful comments after working so hard on her latest music.

She opened up how despite her trying to spread positivity, the world doesn’t love her back and that when Black women don’t fit into the box society desires, hate is unleashed upon them. Cardi B, her collaborator, also stood up for Lizzo, pointing out the rampant racism and fat phobic comments. Some called Lizzo a ‘mammy’, a racist caricature of an ‘overtly happy and plus-size Black woman. Lizzo continues to produce art to empower women just like her and, despite having their toll, stands up to the hate as a true inspiration.
