Diarha N’Diaye-Mbaye, the visionary founder behind beloved beauty brand Ami Colé, brings her talents to Skims. Following the closure of Ami Colé earlier this year due to unsustainable operating costs, many in the beauty community mourned the loss of a brand that authentically celebrated melanin-rich skin through inclusive color ranges and community-driven storytelling. On November 3 Kim Kardashian’s Skims announced that N’Diaye-Mbaye has been appointed Executive Vice President of Beauty and Fragrance, a role in which she will lead product development, innovation and brand strategy for the upcoming Skims Beauty line. “Consumers are more critical than ever. They want quality, fun and simplicity,” said N’Diaye-Mbaye, who was happy to collaborate with the Skims team on products designed to become everyday essentials.
While details about the official launch of Skims Beauty remain under wraps, Kardashian confirmed in October that the line will consist of: “fragrance and makeup and stuff.” The move marks Skims’ first foray into the beauty category, but it’s familiar territory for N’Diaye-Mbaye. Before founding Ami Colé, she held key marketing positions at Glossier, L’Oréal Paris and Rebecca Minkoff. Her appointment reflects Skims’ intention to build an inclusive, community-rooted beauty brand that reflects the shapewear ethos. While the closure of Ami Colé leaves a void, N’Diaye-Mbaye’s next chapter at Skims promises to bring that same authenticity and celebration of black beauty to a global stage.

Afrobeats sensation Odumodublvck is facing a legal battle that seems to mirror one of his own lyrics. In his hit song “Industry Machine,” the rapper stated the following: “They’ve been trying to find me in court all this time.” Now that line has become reality. The artist, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwuhas been officially summoned by an Abuja main court following a complaint of alleged criminal intimidation. The petition was filed by Olayinka Osagie Onobunhead of artists and repertoire (A&R) at Chocolate City Music. According to reports, Onobun claims that Odumodublvck used social media posts on X (formerly Twitter) to threaten and cause fear. Magistrate Farida Ibrahim issued the summons on November 3 and ordered the rapper to appear in court on November 6.
This new case adds to Odumodublvck’s mounting legal troubles as he is already facing a separate civil lawsuit alleging assault and battery. The lawsuit, filed by photographer and entertainer Levi Ogbogiri (known as Kraziecent), accuses the rapper of attacking him and destroying his iPhone 15 Pro Max at an event in December 2024. That hearing is scheduled for November 26. Odumodublvck, who has built a reputation for his bold and unfiltered personality, has denied being violent and says he stands up for “honesty and responsibility” and is “oriented towards peace and progress.” However, there are tensions between him and artists like Chocolate City Blaqbonez With controversy already stirring up industry-wide, the rapper’s next battles may be fought less in the studio and more in the courtroom.

The US government shutdown has entered its 36th day, officially becoming the longest in the country’s history. Millions of Americans are struggling with canceled programs, flight delays and unpaid federal workers. President Donald Trump has refused to negotiate with Democrats until they agree to reopen the government, insisting that health insurance subsidies will not be addressed until that happens. However, Democrats remain skeptical that the Republican president will enforce an agreement, especially after the administration limited food assistance to SNAP despite court orders to maintain funding. Speaking at a White House breakfast with Republican senators on Wednesday, Trump acknowledged the political costs of the shutdown, calling it a “major factor, negative” in Republican election losses, but continued to push his party to end the filibuster in the Senate to sidestep Democratic resistance.
The gridlock in Washington has intensified: Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed or working without pay, and critical services such as food assistance and child care funding have been severely disrupted. Secretary of Transport Sean Duffy warned that air travel could soon be affected “chaos” when air traffic controllers miss a paycheck again. Meanwhile, bipartisan talks led by centrist senators are underway to break the stalemate, with discussions focused on restoring Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired this year, driving up health care costs for millions. Democrats, emboldened by strong election results, continue to demand that Trump meet directly with congressional leaders to negotiate. But with both the White House and the Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson Refusing to budge, the longest shutdown in US history shows little sign of ending, leaving Americans in the political crossfire.

Kylian Mbappe’s long-running dispute with Paris Saint-Germain is set to take another dramatic turn as both sides have been summoned to appear before the Paris labor court on November 17. According to reports, the Real Madrid star is demanding €55 million in unpaid wages, signing bonuses and ethics payments from his final months at PSG before his high-profile move to Spain in 2024. Mbappe, 26, is also asking for his fixed-term contract. reclassified as a permanent action – a move that could strengthen its claim and set an important precedent for other players under similar agreements. The case will be heard by the court “various activities” division, continuing a legal saga that began during his last turbulent season in Paris.
Mbappe’s lawyers claim the forward is simply demanding payment for what he is contractually owed, following months of alleged mistreatment by PSG management during their contract impasse. The French forward previously accused the club of moral harassment after he was excluded from first-team training, a claim he withdrew later this year in an attempt at reconciliation. However, PSG continues to maintain that all outstanding amounts have been paid and emphasizes that the complaint is unfounded. A ruling in Mbappe’s favor could have major implications for player-club relations in European football, especially when it comes to short-term contracts and wage disputes. While the court battle looms, Mbappe remains in top form on the pitch. He recently won the 2024/25 European Golden Boot after scoring 31 goals in La Liga, even as his off-field feud with PSG continues to cast a shadow over his glittering career.
