Thanks to COVID-19, the options for festivals and/or any gatherings built around massive gatherings in celebration of art and creativity—a key element of the human experience that’s been sorely missed in 2020—have been largely nonexistent. In lieu of the usual, many artists and brands have stepped up with inventive (and safety-focused) ways of keeping their […]

To say that the Weeknd released his superb fourth album After Hours at an uncomfortably bizarre time in human history is, to put it as mildly as possible, a breathtaking understatement.

Bun B is speaking out in support of fellow Houston artist Megan Thee Stallion, who confirmed at the end of last week that Tory Lanez shot her during a widely publicized July incident.

Taylor Swift just donated over $30,000 to help a student in London who was trying to raise money to go to the University of Warwick in the U.K. “I have received a conditional offer to study Mathematics (MMath) at the prestigious University of Warwick,” 18-year-old Vitoria Mario wrote in her GoFundMe page. “I have already attained AABB […]

JoJo is taking a strong stance on violence against women, electing to remove Tory Lanez from her upcoming project for attacking Megan Thee Stallion.  JoJo collaborated with Lanez and 30 Roc for the track “Comeback” on her album, good to know. The original standard version of the project was released in May, but JoJo told a fan on […]

Adding to the mountain of golden UK rap releases coming out this month, Nines is back with NSG for “Airplane Mode”, the second single from his recently-announced Crabs In A Bucket album. Living up to the example set by previous single “Clout“, “Airplane Mode” comes with some polished visuals (directed by Nines and Charlie Di Placido) that put Nines […]

Actors Halle Berry and Michael B. Jordan are among the celebrities who are expressing support for Megan Thee Stallion.
