The Way of Water marks an impressive feat for Cameron by not only reestablishing the franchise’s popularity, but also by becoming the fourth film to reach $1 billion after the COVID-19 pandemic affected moviegoing back in 2020.

Avatar: The Way of Water has maintained its position as the highest grossing film at the box office for its fourth week in a row. The sequel to James Cameron’s 2009 film was released on December 16th, allowing audiences to return to the world of Pandora. The story follows Jake Sully and his family as they are forced to leave their home and seek refuge with the Metkayina clan due to the return of the RDA. Despite debuting below initial projections, Avatar: The Way of Water has become the highest grossing film of 2022 internationally, surpassing Top Gun: Maverick at the box office and earning $1.708 billion globally, making it the seventh highest grossing film of all time. The film has also become the fourth to reach $1 billion after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the movie industry in 2020. If it continues to be screened in theaters and outperform other box office competition, it could potentially reach over $2 billion globally. The first Avatar film set multiple records, earning over $2.9 billion during its initial release and re-releases, making it the highest grossing film of all time. It will be interesting to see how close the second film comes to that number. The success of Avatar: The Way of Water over the holidays, with a 6% increase in its third week, has led to speculation about its potential earnings and a possible longer theatrical run. The next highly anticipated film, Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, is set to be released in February. Avatar: The Way of Water is one of the year’s biggest films and can currently be seen in theaters.

The removal immediately caught attention online, with many supporters questioning what had happened behind the scenes. Others used the moment to reignite conversations about copyright rules, music ownership, and the risks creators face when releasing cover versions of popular songs.

Socialite and businesswoman Vera Sidika has shut down viral claims linking Arbantone artist Tipsy Gee to allegations that he stole from her, calling the rumours completely false and damaging.

In a strong response shared on Instagram on Sunday, June 21, 2026, Vera did not hold back, slamming the accusations as fabricated and unfair to the rising star.

She questioned why people would go to such lengths to damage someone’s name with unverified claims, stressing that the situation had gone too far.

“It’s okay if you don’t like him, but making false accusations is a different story altogether. He is someone’s son, someone’s family, and these claims are serious,” she said.

Vera also defended her own financial history, making it clear she has never been scammed or stolen from.

“Let me be very clear: NOBODY has ever stolen from me, not even a single dollar, in my entire life,” she stated, adding that she is “too smart to be scammed or stolen from.”

She then turned the focus to Tipsy Gee’s character, describing him as humble, respectful, and professional, insisting he has never taken anything from her, not even a dollar.

According to her, the rumours are completely misleading and people should stop spreading false information unless they are talking about someone else entirely.

The allegations had been circulating online after unverified reports suggested a possible police-linked complaint involving the artist. The claims gained more attention following weeks of online speculation about the two, especially after their appearances together in Naivasha and the Mambrui dunes sparked dating and lifestyle rumours.

For now, Vera’s message is clear. No theft. No scandal. Just what she calls unnecessary online gossip turning into a viral storm.

Mike Sonko just dropped a curveball that has everyone talking.

The former Nairobi governor said he’s ready to walk away from the alcohol and club business completely. His reason? He wants to get closer to God.

But it’s not that simple.

Sonko revealed he’s currently stuck with alcohol stock worth KSh 50 million inside one of his clubs. And now he’s genuinely conflicted.

“Hii club iko na pombe ya 50 million, sijui nipeane, sijui nifanye nini,” he said.

That line alone has sparked a wave of reactions online. Some people are praising the move, saying it’s a sign of personal growth and accountability. Others aren’t buying it, questioning whether this is a real transformation or just another headline moment.

The big question now is what he actually does next.

For someone like Sonko, whose brand has always mixed politics, flash, and controversy, this pivot hits differently. Walking away from nightlife money isn’t a small move.

So far, he hasn’t given a clear plan on what happens to the alcohol or the businesses tied to it. But one thing is clear, he wants out.
