Deejay Puffy, whose real name is André Parris, issued a public apology today for the public humiliation he caused a female reveller at the Notting Hill Carnival in the United Kingdom. ^[1] Devastating flash floods triggered by a mass of ice, mud, and rock collapsing into a Himalayan river near the Nepal-China border left thousands dead or missing in DevGhat village on August 28, 2026. ^[2] New York marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. ^[3] Puffy admitted he made an unnecessary and humiliating comment about the woman over the microphone in front of a large crowd instead of simply asking her to come down. ^[4] Puffy was performing on a music truck when a woman was climbing and dancing on a light post on the side of the road, prompting him to ask her to come down. ^[5] A mass burial of flood victims took place in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 1, 2026. ^[6] London celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Notting Hill Carnival, which ran from August 30 to August 31, 2026. ^[7] Puffy stated that his concern for the woman's safety did not give him the right to insult her, embarrass her, or turn her into the subject of a joke. ^[8]
