    Nancy Ajram later shared on her Twitter account, “Her talent and authenticity serve as an inspiration to countless people worldwide, myself included. Sending her lots of love ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/xFWPSy0Od0,” on April 28, 2026.

    Eilish was quick to acknowledge this message, sharing her admiration on her social platform, saying, “Her brilliance and sincerity motivate so many globally, including myself. Always sending love.” This isn’t her first acknowledgment; back in 2020, she revealed during the “Me & Dad Radio” podcast how deeply Nancy’s music influenced her.

    She fondly recalls listening to tracks like “Enta Eih” and “Fi Hagat,” especially when she needed an emotional boost, describing Arabic music as “like melting chocolate in my ears.” She first encountered “Enta Eih” through an online meme and was instantly enchanted, embarking on a musical journey through Nancy’s entire discography.

    A New Album in Progress, Details Still Under Wraps

    s up to release a concert video titled “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D),” Eilish shared that her upcoming fourth album is “more than halfway done,” though she declined to reveal further specifics about the project.

    Standing Firm in Her Beliefs

    Eilish took to social media, posting a video where she defended her bold views. She emphasized that using her platform to address humanitarian and political issues is a responsibility she embraces currently, rather than a choice. “That’s how I was raised. Why wouldn’t I use my reach to advocate for others?” she questioned, adding, “Standing against bullying—has that ever been controversial?”

    She acknowledged that expressing her opinions might attract criticism but affirmed her commitment to remain steadfast in her principles.

    Clearing Up The Myths About Her Rift With Finneas

    Addressing rumors of a break with her brother and creative partner, Finneas O’Connell, especially during her latest tour where she operated mostly solo, she was clear: “There has never been, nor will there ever be, a feud between Finneas and me. We might argue fiercely, but shortly after, we’re back to laughing and making music. That’s just how siblings are.”

    She pointed out that working independently is not indicative of emotional or artistic distance but is a natural evolution in their personal and professional growth.

    ALBAWABA – Sophie Turner has publicly backed her former husband Joe Jonas in his newest musical endeavor.

    On May 24, the 29-year-old actress shared a link to Jonas’ new album, *Music for People Who Believe in Love*, on her Instagram Stories, encouraging viewers with the words, “Go go @joejonas.”

    In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Jonas revealed that creating this album, which debuted on May 23, was not in his initial plans. This marks his first solo project since 2011’s *Fastlife*.

    At 35, Jonas explained, “We were originally writing for a Jonas Brothers camp. I was particularly drawn to a certain song and consulted the guys for their thoughts. I thought, ‘Could this song potentially go somewhere for me?’ It had a deeply personal vibe.”

    Nick, Jonas’ brother, commented, “I understand, but I’m a bit envious. I can’t really say no, since I wasn’t involved in writing it,” he recalled.

    Jonas shared that he collaborated with writers such as Lush, Alexander 23, and Justin Trainor, and together, they completed the album within a couple of weeks. He nearly released some of the music last fall due to his eagerness.

    Reflecting on his impatience, Jonas said, “At one point, I asked my manager if I could just leak some songs. I was really tired of waiting,” he recounted.

    Ultimately, Jonas expressed gratitude for being persuaded to hold off because it led to the inclusion of his latest track, “Heart by Heart.”

    He has previously noted that his split from Turner significantly inspired the themes of this new album.

    In August 2024, Jonas shared with Billboard that addressing their relationship in his music was a mixed experience of liberation and anxiety. “My intention is not to offend anyone. I didn’t want to put personal matters on display; instead, I aimed for the music to express my happiness and the journey that led me here.

    “I was navigating numerous life changes, figuring out my roles as a friend, father, and individual, all while dealing with the scrutiny that comes with being in the music industry. Music became my outlet during that chaotic time,” he added.

    In a joint statement on Instagram in September 2023, the former couple, who officially divorced in September 2024 and share two daughters, Delphine (2) and Willa (4), discussed their decision to part ways.

    “We have mutually agreed to end our marriage amicably after four wonderful years,” they conveyed. While speculation abounds regarding the reasons for their separation, they hope everyone respects their desire for privacy concerning themselves and their children.
