It's April 3rd. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, your AI-powered Entertainment Report. Katzai member Manon Bannerman is coming back to the group after a six-week break for her health. Her label Hybee confirmed she'll rejoin the five other girls for their Coachella set on April 11th. But her long-term spot remains up in the air. Earlier this week, fans freaked out when she dropped. Katzai, from her Instagram bio, sparking quit rumors. She posted updates saying she's healthy, grateful for support, and in positive talks with the label. Still, the group pushed forward, dropping a teaser for their new single Pinkie Up without her. That hiatus kicked off back in February, and it blew up with talk of racism since she's the only black member with Ghanaian roots on her dad's side, and Swiss Italian on her moms. She liked the post, calling out hate toward mixed-race stars in girl groups, fueling the fire. The labs like Sizzah, Chloe Bailey, Normani, and Leanne Pinnock showed love online.

Fans rallied hard, but the labels stuck to the health story. Meanwhile, Katzai has been killing it since their 2024 debut, with global hits like Narlie and Gabriella, plus big deals from Fendi and Coach. The squad formed through a reality show by Hybee and Geffen, blending K-pop vibes with International Talent. Intermin's return starts at Coachella, but expect more updates soon as things unfold.
