“Our partnership with DreamWorks is more than just a specialty cup and flavor. It’s about bringing a beloved character to life at every event we serve,” said Tony Lamb, CEO and Founder of Kona Ice. “Gabby’s Dollhouse represents positivity, and it has been a natural fit for the Kona Ice brand.

Culture’s Biggest Night, this year's BET Awards will be hosted by award-winning comedian, entertainer, and cultural sensation Druski, who will become the youngest-ever host of the BET Awards, eclipsing Kevin Hart, who previously held the distinction in 2011.
“It’s an honor to be the youngest host EVER for the BET Awards,” Druski said. “I grew up watching the BET Awards and, to know the comedic legends that hosted before me set the bar so high, I’m just grateful to be a part of the history. BUT I’m still bringing my brand of comedy to the stage, so expect a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and some of your favorite Druski characters to pop out along the way.”
BET Awards is one of the most-watched award shows on cable television, according to the Nielsen Company. The BET Awards franchise remains the #1 program in cable TV history among African-Americans, and it is the #1 telecast for BET every year. It recognizes the triumphs and successes of artists, entertainers, and athletes in a variety of categories.

The show reflects the creativity, influence, and reach of Black culture across music, television, film, sports, fashion, and more.
“As one of the most exciting and influential comedic voices of his generation, Druski brings a unique ability to connect with audiences through humor that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in culture,” said Connie Orlando, EVP, Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy at BET. “As we prepare for this year’s BET Awards, we’re thrilled to have him bring his signature energy and perspective to the stage, helping set the tone for a night that celebrates the achievements and cultural impact of our community.”
“Druski represents the kind of bold, culture-driving talent that continues to shape the future of entertainment. His voice resonates across platforms, blending comedy and authentic connection in a way that aligns perfectly with our vision for BET. Partnering with Druski as host reflects our commitment to elevating the new generation of comedians who are redefining how audiences engage with content today,” said Louis Carr, President, BET.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City takes players to a New York City where the Shredder has been defeated and, in the void left behind, warring factions are vying for total control – from Karai, the leader of the Japanese branch of The Foot Clan, to Mashima, a mystic determined to resurrect the ruthless chaos and power that he believes their fallen leader stood for.
Players will explore the neighborhoods you’ve sworn to protect, square off against classic foes, and chow down on pizza – just like a real Turtle. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City, players are in full control of their play style and experience, engaging however they feel their favorite Turtle would – from stealthy attacks to outright berserker action.
In addition to the base game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is available with a Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade for $4.99, featuring four alternate skins for each Turtle (Mirage, Nostalgia, Owari Masks and Red Masks), alongside an in-game digital art book and an in-game browsable soundtrack.
