It has been five years since Fifth Harmony announced their hiatus, and fans have been eagerly waiting for Normani’s comeback.
After announcing the hiatus, Normani released eight singles and an EP with Calvin Harris named Normani x Calvin Harris. However, she has not released an album yet.
There were various rumors surrounding her debut album, but to date, Normani has not released it. As a result, fans have been eagerly waiting for an update from the singer.

Even though Normani has not given any updates about her new album, there are speculations about it. For instance, it is named The Butterfly Effect, and the singer will talk about it sometime soon.
Moreover, DeuxMoi has also shared some news about it.
DeuxMoi’s update on Normani’s new album
DeuxMoi has been updating Normani’s fans about her debut album on their Instagram Stories. They have been revealing the updates they get from anonymous sources.
Recently, they discussed the album again while talking about its release date. Initially, a source confirmed that the new album was named The Butterfly Effect, and the date of release had not been revealed.

However, they speculated that it would be released in May 2023. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
The recent update claimed that The Butterfly Effect was pushed to August 2023, so it would most likely be released then. On the other hand, the source reported that there were possibilities that the date would get pushed again.
At the time of writing, Normani has not talked about her new album. But it seems like she will start revealing and talking about The Butterfly Effect soon.
This is because she has been working with Bose regarding her upcoming projects. On June 18, 2023, they uploaded a video titled ‘Creative Process & Upcoming Album’ where Normani talked about how she focuses on lyricism and melodies.
Similarly, she claimed that she was a natural-born dancer, which inspired the type of music she made. Other than this, Normani has given no update about her new album.
Why has Normani not released her album yet?
There might be various reasons behind Normani not releasing her debut album. However, one of the reasons is her parents.
Her mother was diagnosed with cancer. She initially had breast cancer when the singer was five, and it remissioned in 2020.
Normani was already dealing with her mother’s cancer diagnosis when her father was stricken with the same disease. Regardless, her parents have been very supportive of her career and encouraged her to pursue her dreams.
Although Normani did not specifically state that her father’s sickness drove her to take a break from music and focus on her parents’ care, she did say that it helped her put things into perspective.
Talking to Billboard, she confessed that she had been “intentional” with her time. She said, “Spending a lot more time with myself and getting to know myself and doing things anyway — even if I’m afraid.”
“I can wholeheartedly say that through a lot of my career, I know that I’ve been afraid,” she added. “And that’s a vulnerable moment for me to even be honest with you and express, but yeah, just leaning into it and doing it anyway and knowing that God has a plan and it’s all going to work for my good.”
In 2022, Normani claimed that her new album would be worth the wait. She told Bustle, “I had a lot of artist development, which I feel like people don’t take seriously. They throw artists on stage completely unprepared.”
“And for me, that mentality was very important. Now, I’ve also been very critical on myself. So I think it’s been a combination of things, but it’s definitely going to be worth the wait,” she added.

Social media sensation Zoe LaVerne left her fans shocked when she revealed during a live session that both of her parents are siblings.
However, Zoe quickly clarified that despite the familial connection, she does not consider it incestuous.
She explained, “So my mom and my dad, because like my dad and my mom Debbie, since they are siblings, it sounds incest but it’s not. It’s really confusing to talk about.”
As expected, Zoe’s live confession spread like wildfire across various online platforms, with tea pages, such as teatoktalk, sharing the video on their pages.
The moment viewers caught wind of the video, they wasted no time expressing their opinions, with one fan commenting, “girl, it’s definitely incest.”
Another exclaimed, “tf she means it’s not incest when they’re literally siblings who had children together.” LaVerne’s revelation seemed to have divided her audience, with some questioning her explanation.
However, amidst the wave of criticism, some fans stepped forward to defend LaVerne and shed more light on the situation.

One supporter highlighted, “Y’all, her mom is her aunt who adopted her. She didn’t explain it very well, but let’s not be weird about this.”
Another fan chimed in, saying, “Guys, she talked about it a long time ago. Her mother died because of alcohol abuse, as I remember, and her auntie adopted her and took care of her, and Zoe calls her mom.”
The following comment read, “Her “mom” is her aunt that had to take custody of her, not her biological mother. Her wording was very weird and an explanation on her part would’ve been good…”
A look at Zoe LaVerne’s family
LaVerne’s adoptive parents’ names are Debbie Pemberton, originally her aunt, and Douglas Wright. Additionally, she has two brothers: her biological brother, Eric Pemberton, and her stepbrother, Cameron.
LaVerne cherishes her relationships with her family, taking the time to express gratitude to them, especially to her mother.

On January 23, 2023, she wished her mother a Happy Birthday by posting several pictures on her Instagram and calling her “best friend.”
She expressed, “happy birthday to my best friend. i love you so so much mom. it breaks my heart that you don’t know it’s your birthday but all that matter is you’re here with us. i love you.”
Similarly, on May 14, 2023, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, the social media star took to Instagram to share a lovely picture with her mother, Debbie and wrote a heartfelt message.
She wrote, “happy mother’s day to this woman right here. i love you more than words can ever explain. thank you for everything you have ever done for me. you deserve the world.”
On May 17, 2021, LaVerne wished her father a Happy Birthday by posting a picture of her and her father and expressing that she loves her very much.
Zoe LaVerne’s biological parents were drug addicts
During a live session, LaVerne opened up about her difficult past and revealed that her biological parents were drug addicts.
She expressed her frustration at the video being leaked without her consent, as she had chosen not to share this part of her story yet.
LaVerne emphasized that her mom, Debbie, who adopted her at birth, is her true mother, even though she may not be her birth mother.
Her biological mother, Melinda, and her biological father, Billy, struggled with addiction, and Melinda even considered having abortions.
However, Debbie fought for LaVerne’s custody and won, providing her with a loving home and support.
She expressed her gratitude for her adoptive parents, as they have been there for her since the beginning and have played a significant role in shaping who she is today.
LaVerne also shared the heartbreaking news that her biological mother was murdered when she was only three years old, while her father died of a drug overdose when she was around six or seven.
Despite not knowing her biological parents personally, she acknowledged that her adoptive parents, Debbie and Douglas, are her true parents, as they provided her with love, care, and stable life.
She praised Debbie for fighting to have her as her own and expressed her love and appreciation for the life she has been given.

Zoe LaVerne Gets Emotional Talking about Mom Whose Cancer Has Returned

Zoe LaVerne candidly spoke about the difficult and painful journey her family has been facing due to her mother, Debbie Pemberton’s health in a series of emotional videos.
She began by apologizing for her vulnerability and assured her viewers that she didn’t want any sympathy but wanted to share her story because her mom would want her fans to know what was happening.
She said, “I don’t want sympathy. I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I genuinely just wanted to tell you guys this story because I know that a lot of you guys really loved my mom, and she would want you guys to know what’s going on.”
Her life completely fell apart when her mom’s health started deteriorating in early November 2022. Her mom’s incapacity to use a coffee maker, which at first glance seemed like a harmless joke, turned out to be the first indication of a serious stroke.
Her right half of the brain was damaged during the stroke, which made it difficult for her to remember things and communicate. She, her mother, and her family set out on a difficult path, spending Christmas and Thanksgiving in the hospital.
Moreover, in January 2023, they received another devastating news– the return of her mother’s cancer. However, this time, her mother chose not to disclose her condition.

LaVerne expressed, “In January of 2023, we found out that my mom had cancer again. And she didn’t tell anybody in the family that she had cancer. Nobody knew. And we all really think it was because she didn’t wanna do chemo or radiation anymore.”
Part 2 revealed the heartbreaking introduction of hospice care, indicating that her mother’s condition has worsened. LaVerne, at only 22 years old, grappled with the idea of losing her mom.
She talked about periods when she felt vulnerable and strong, and how her father gave her her mother’s medal as a priceless keepsake during these difficult times.
“They made it clear that she could die anytime soon. My dad last night gave me my mom’s medal as she always wore. And it really meant a lot to me because this is a very difficult time in my life right now,” she noted.
In the final part, she reflected on her mother’s strong connection with her online community and the role her mother played in motivating her to pursue social media.
She acknowledged the support and prayers from her fans and the positive impact it has had on her mother’s condition, with her regaining some strength.
That being said, Pemberton, originally her aunt, and Douglas Wright adopted LaVerne when she was just a baby. During a live session, she insisted that despite Pemberton wasn’t her biological mother, she was her real mother.
Speaking about her biological parents, her mom, Melinda, was murdered, while her father, Billy, died of a drug overdose.

Zara Larsson Reacts to Accusations of Using F Slur on TikTok

Zara Larsson, a Swedish pop singer, responded to accusations that she used a homophobic F slur to insult a TikToker and said she would leave the app.
In a recent TikTok video, Larsson responded to the allegations, telling her 1.4 million followers, “I hate that I have to do this.”
She said that the photograph was manipulated and that someone had created a replica of a phony comment that seemed to portray her uttering a gay slur.
The 25-year-old, who was preparing to celebrate her birthday at the time of the video, spoke to her fans while wearing a shawl.
She confessed that she had received a ton of comments blaming her for penning the slur and said that the occurrence had “ruined TikTok” for her.
‘Ain’t My Fault’ singer started by saying, “Hey ya’ll. I’m getting ready to go out. It’s my birthday today. I hate that I have to do this, especially on my birthday. I’ve already talked about it twice in my story, but they disappeared.”
Larsson continued by saying that she refrained from using racial slurs. She claimed that she responded, “Yet here you are commenting,” to a person she didn’t know who commented, “You’re so irrelevant, your music sucks.”
Further, the singer added, “Sometimes I can’t hold my tongue, like I need to say something. He edited that comment saying I called him something else, which I didn’t do. Everyone who knows me knows I would never call someone a slur.”
She also wondered whether the post was still up, but the commenter had blocked her, and the singer had also done the same because she was “pissed.”
The artist said she used to enjoy TikTok but that “this has kind of ruined the experience for me,” adding that she would be taking a break from the social media site.

Finally, in an effort to defend herself, she assured her supporters one last time that she was not the kind of person who would refer to someone else as an “F-slur” in a comment.
Although the modified image is nowhere to be discovered, many of her followers felt it was fake and defended her right away.
“You’re so kind and sweet and your fans know that you never would write something like that,” a fan noted.
This is not the first time Zara Larsson has been brought into controversy
Back in 2019, when Larsson claimed James Charles slipped into her ex-boyfriend Brian Whittaker’s social media DMs many times, she found herself in the middle of yet another homophobia controversy.
She tweeted, “I’m cackling cause he hit up my boyfriend in the dms several times knowing damn well he’s straight.”
Larsson made the remarks during Charles’ well-known public argument with Tati Westbrook, who charged the YouTuber with influencing people’s sexual orientation.
She was accused of indicating that the “LGBTQ family is predatory” before clarifying that Charles had only made one attempt to hit up Whittaker.
Later, Larsson apologized to Charles and said, “I’m sorry for sending all of the hate that James received in his direction. I’m sorry for not thinking about the consequences.”
