The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues, as both rappers constantly get back at each other by releasing diss tracks aimed at one another. The squabble initially began when Lamar fired shots at the Canadian rapper with Like That. Thereafter, the One Dance singer escalated the feud by releasing Push Ups, aimed at Lamar.

Taking things to the next level, Kendrick Lamar officially re-entered the battleground with Euphoria, as his rebuttal to 37-year-old Drake’s latest diss track. In the six-minute diss, Lamar took shots at the Canadian rapper’s biracial identity, career, and even his personal life. Considering the ear-bleeding level of attack, Rick Ross hopped on his Instagram Story and urged the 37-year-old to not respond to the track.

On the night of April 13, after the apparent leak of his diss track “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty),” Drake posted a screenshot from the movie Kill Bill on his Instagram Story. It was the film’s iconic fight scene, during which Uma Thurman’s character takes on a room full of ninja assassins only to emerge victorious. The metaphor couldn’t be more applicable to Drake’s current situation, as he fends off what many are describing as “Rap’s Avengers,” out for blood since the release of Future...

Kendrick Lamar has hit back at Drake with “euphoria,” his response to the latter rapper’s recent diss tracks “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Stream it below.
Broken up into three parts, “euphoria” begins with a laidback beat in which a relaxed Kendrick calls out Drake for being fake and “a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
“The famous actor we once knew is lookin’ paranoid, now it’s spiraling,” Kendrick scoffs, before accusing Drake of being a liar on multiple levels. “Fabricate stories on the family front, ’cause you heard Mr. Morale/ A pathetic master manipulator, I can smell the tales on you now/ You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted.”
Pointedly, he continues, “Know you a master manipulator, and a bitch, you a liar too/ But don’t tell no lie ’bout me, and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.

At the very moment Taylormania was hitting preposterous heights, threatening to turn the artist at its center into an untouchable icon, it turns out that the real Taylor Swift was spending her time between glittery three-hour concerts making some of her most fearless art. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology is stuffed with the rawest, angriest, and most unguarded songs of Swift’s career – quite the opposite of the ingratiating, focus-grouped inoffensiveness that a skeptic might expect from an artist at her current level of visibility.

Rick Ross didn’t have to give his Drake diss “Champagne Moments” a video. But he did — and he used it to promote his own stuff.
On Tuesday, Ross released a visual for his recently-released diss track, which simply sees the Miami rapper sitting on a stool in front of a Chevy Bel Air and surrounded by bottles of alcohol he gets paid to endorse. Oh, and a conveniently placed poster promoting the 3rd Annual Rick Ross Car Show. (It’s on June 1 in Fayetteville, Ga by the way.)

Drake, forever thirsty for attention, is continuing to bait Kendrick Lamar. After releasing “Push Ups” on DSPs on Friday, the Toronto rapper has dropped a second diss track. This one, titled “Taylor Made Freestyle,” includes AI verses made to sound like Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
“Kendrick, we need ya, the West Coast savior/ Engraving your name in some hip-hop history,” AI Tupac raps. “If you deal with this viciously/ You seem a little nervous about all the publicity/ Fuck this Canadian lightskin.”
“I know you never been to jail, or wore jumpsuits and shower shoes/Never shot nobody, never stabbed nobody/Never did nothing violent to no one, it’s the homies that empower you,” adds AI Snoop. “But, still, you gotta show this fucking owl who’s boss on the West/Now’s a time to really make a power move.”

Drake turned up the heat on Friday, following up the official release of his Kendrick Lamar diss track “Push Ups” from earlier this week with “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which appears to feature AI vocals from Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.
Late Friday night, April 19, the rapper took to social media to share another scathing rebuke toward Kendrick, and unlike “Push Ups” — which also takes shots at Future, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, and the Weeknd and drew shots back from Ross and others — this one takes direct aim primarily at Kendrick.

With a few lines in a guest verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s chart-topping hit “Like That,” Kendrick Lamar ignited his long-simmering cold war with Drake into what’s become the widest-reaching rap beef in years. Since then, it’s all gotten incredibly messy, starting with J. Cole recording an entire diss track about his erstwhile friend Lamar and then deciding to retract it and apologize — a fairly unprecedented move in hip-hop.

Just over a week after J. Cole apologized for his Kendrick Lamar diss track, “7 Minute Drill,” Drake has come to the table with one of his own. Titled “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50),” the track first leaked online over the weekend. On Monday, Drake all but confirm it’s legitimacy by posting a meme video to Instagram featuring producer Metro Boomin superimposed into a scene from the movie Drumline, referencing a lyric from “Push Ups.”
Hip-hop’s latest feud all began with Drake and Cole’s 2023 hit “First Person Shooter,” which saw J. Cole declare that he, Drake, and Kendrick made up hip-hop’s so called “Big Three.” Lamar struck back with a surprise verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That,” saying “Motherfuck the Big 3, n***a it’s just big me.” Cole responded with his own diss track, “7 Minute Drill,” but later apologized for its release...

Drake’s new track “Push Up,” a diss directed at Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, the Weeknd, and others, had the rap world buzzing on Saturday. Then, shortly after, Rick Ross’ response, on “Champagne Stories,” turned a noteworthy day unforgettable. Hip-hop heads of a certain age were hit with a wave of nostalgia thanks to the way both songs were released. A clip of “Push Up” circulated on Reddit and Twitter before DJ Akademiks legitimized the track and played a studio-quality version on his stream. Then Ross sent his response to Akademiks just hours later.

Drake amusingly responded to Rick Ross’ diss track claims that he got a nose job and warned of more musical retribution against the rapper in a social media post Sunday.
Ross unleashed his own Drizzy diss track “Champagne Moments” soon after Drake’s (purportedly real) “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50)” leaked on Saturday. While the bulk of that track was aimed at Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin, Drake also targeted Ross on some bars for intruding on the beef. “Can’t believe he jumpin’ in,” Drake said of Ross,...

Hitting social media on Saturday, a leaked diss track from Drake has set the hip-hop world abuzz. Although there’s no confirmation if the song actually came from the rapper or its AI-constructed music, the Canadian singer appears aiming for none other than Kendrick Lamar in the lyrics.

Drake’s response track to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake and J. Cole-dragging verse in Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” from their album We Don’t Trust You, has arrived. The song, titled “Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50),” was first leaked in a few different iterations earlier in the day on Saturday, April 13. The leak initially sparked fans to debate on whether it may have been AI-generated before it was somewhat confirmed as authentic later that day. On Friday, April 19 an official version of the song was released on all streaming platforms.

On Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé mixes R&b, country, and some hard-hitting guitars, among many other elements, and as the artist herself is well aware, there used to be a name for that kind of American melange: rock & roll. She slyly acknowledges that fact with two Chuck Berry moments on the album, including a segment of “Maybellene,” his first hit, in which a Black genius helped invent rock & roll via revved-up country.

Lil’ Kim and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs are hip-hop moguls who go way back. The two became friendly in the ’90s after Lil’ Kim joined Junior M.A.F.I.A, a hip-hop group started by The Notorious B.I.G. Biggie introduced Lil’ Kim to Combs, and the rest is history. However, Lil’ Kim said she regretted following Combs’ advice regarding Sisqó’s “Thong Song.”

On March 25, federal agents raided two of Diddy’s luxury properties as part of an investigation into sex trafficking. After completing interviews with three women and one man in Manhattan, authorities seized firearms and personal phones. We know the allegations are connected to sexual assault and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms. But many are still curious about Diddy’s home and details of the raid. Here’s what we know:

During a stop on his Big As The What tour in Sunrise, Florida, Drake took a moment to get defiant amid the hysteria about Kendrick’s fiery verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” where the Compton rhymer took aim at Drake and J.

Few rivalries in rap music are as intense as Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s. Along with sharing appearances on each other’s albums, the two have also shown respect for one another in interviews. However, the very things that have united them have also caused them to drift apart.
A controversy erupted when Drake made a derogatory remark about Lamar and his song, Control, back in 2013. The song was eventually pulled from the album due to sample clearance issues, and many rappers responded to it right away—just not the one Lamar seemed to want to hear from most.
Drake asked, “Kendrick is giving people moments, but are you listening to it now?” in reference to the now-famous verse of Big Sean’s song Control.

We Don’t Trust You, the new album from Future and Metro Boomin, is here (the first half anyway), and listeners are abuzz about the 17-song project. Coming in at approximately one hour, the project has elicited plenty of talking points in less than 24 hours. Kendrick Lamar pulled another “Control”-like move and got the rap world talking about his shots at Drake and J.

That inspiration isn’t exactly instantly evident within the album’s sleek production and Max Martin-assisted songwriting, but Grande said in an advance listening session for journalists that she had John, Paul, George, and Ringo in mind as she stuffed it full of unexpected melodic twists and half-buried ear candy.

The movies, set to begin production next year, will each focus a single Beatle’s perspective, so John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and even Ringo Starr each get a turn in the spotlight.

On Tuesday, March 5, Foo Fighters will take a rare detour from stadium, arena and amphitheater stages to perform at a private, one-night-only concert in Washington, D.C. hosted by Power to the Patients, a non-profit fighting for a more affordable, accessible, and equitable healthcare system through true price transparency.
Find out more about the concert here.
Hip hop legends Fat Joe and Chuck D will also be in attendance.
“When we were asked by Power to the Patients to help raise awareness of the need for transparency in healthcare pricing, we immediately said yes. People suffering from illness and injury shouldn’t have to worry about being bankrupted by surprise charges for their treatment.” — Foo Fighters
With lawmakers, government officials, and their dedicated staff in attendance, Foo Fighters will join the drive to raise awareness about the inequality and uncertainty created for millions of patients when hospitals and insurers hide actual upfront prices.

If you have ever heard any of Rick Ross’ internationally popular songs, such as Stay Schemin featuring Drake and French Montana or B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast) featuring Styles P, you have probably noticed the classy Maybach Music tag on each instrumental. Throughout Ross’ discography, the well-known statement—which represents his record label, Maybach Music—appears on numerous tracks.
And after more than a decade of studios’ wearing the tag, last year, the 48-year-old finally revealed the voice behind it.

In 2023, rapper and producer Rick Ross purchased a $35 million mansion on the exclusive Star Island in Miami.
Star Island is home to many other notable names, including Sean “Diddy” Combs, fellow rapper and neighbor to Ross. The property boasts a size of nearly one acre. The mansion itself is 12,400 square feet.
Ross now has plans to spend another $20 million for renovations. An additional 4,000 square will be added to the property. After renovations, Ross’ home might outshine those of billionaires Jeff Bezos and Ken Griffin also living in Miami.
Ross told The New York Post, “We are excited to be expanding the home towards the ocean and we are planning a Japanese rare Koi fish pond, the walls with maybe a Basquiat painting.”
Ross will be getting the help of a celebrity and billionaire homebuilder to make the renovations happen. Other features that will be added to the house include a...

Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and Valerie June combined forces to call for a more transparent and equitable healthcare system in a new PSA set to air this Sunday during Super Bowl Lviii.
Organized by the nonprofit group Power to the Patients, the spot specifically highlights the way hospitals and insurance companies are able to get away with not clearly stating how much certain services and procedures cost and then billing patients afterward. This has contributed to astronomical levels of medical debt around the United States.

Musicians Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and Valerie June are heading to the Super Bowl — in a new ad for the nonprofit organization Power to the Patients.
The performers appear in a new spot that raises awareness about the health care crisis in America and pushes for officials to be more transparent about the cost of health care. In the commercial, the singers criticize hospitals and insurance companies for robbing patients, many of whom have dealt with medical debt.
“Hospitals and insurance companies all around the United States are stealing our future by looting every patient, worker, employer and family across the country,” Jelly Roll, known for hits like “Need a Favor” and “Save Me,” said in a statement.
Wilson, who won her first Grammy last week, added: “American citizens in need of care are afraid to enter a hospital.”

As Miami’s 2024 Pegasus World Cup drew to a close with a $3 million win by champion thoroughbred National Treasure and a DJ set by Calvin Harris, the post-race buzz was about how the event will spin off into a West Coast version at Santa Anita racetrack this fall. The California Crown, taking place Sept. 28, will be the first entertainment-driven thoroughbred racing event at the historic grounds with The h. wood Group and track-owner 1/St partnering.
“You’ll see some things that are similar to what we do at Pegasus. We will bring together music, entertainment and fashion, but it’ll be more of a vintage Hollywood vibe,” says Belinda Stronach, chairwoman and CEO of 1/St, a technology, entertainment and real estate development company centered around thoroughbred racing and pari-mutuel wagering. 1/St also owns Miami’s Gulfstream track and Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, home of the Triple Crown’s Preakness Stakes.

The sessions started at Hollywood, California’s A&m Studios the night of Jan. 28, 1985, and didn’t end until well after sunrise the morning of Jan. 29. By that point, it was clear that nothing quite like “We Are the World” could ever happen again. The Greatest Night in Pop, a new documentary on Netflix, brings it all back to vivid life: co-writers Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie joined by Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and an improbably long list of other superstars, all crammed in...

One of last year’s most unexpected musical twists was the ascent of Zach Bryan, the rootsy singer-songwriter who sounds not unlike Bruce Springsteen or Jason Isbell — and went all the way to Number One on the Hot 100 with the ballad “I Remember Everything,” assisted by Kacey Musgraves. His self-titled fourth album was one of the best country/Americana releases of the year, but it’s only one of the unmissable 2023 releases in that category, from Jason Isbell’s own Weathervanes to Megan Maroney’s Lucky.
