The Migos went solo, but don’t call it a breakup. When the group first exploded from the ATL bandos to the mainstream, basics quickly pegged the guest-feature-prone Quavo as the inevitable Justin Timberlake. Or rather, Quavo-Yoncé.

On Tuesday afternoon, McKenzie, who turned himself in to authorities on […]
Every NBA team has at least one scrub on its roster. That said, if you’re currently earning a paycheck as one of the 494 players in the Association, you must be doing something right. But no pro sports league in North America overpays its players more than the NBA. Sure, the NFL and MLB have […]
In December 2018, Ariana Grande laid out her goals for Thank U, Next, which would be dropping mere months after the release of her critically acclaimed, Grammy-winning fourth studio album, Sweetener. In particular, she noted that female pop artists such as herself are beholden to strict rollout guidelines: teaser, single, preorder, radio, album. “I just want […]
