Ross has a history with policing, as he worked as a correctional officer in Florida back in the ’90s.

Last week, the Florida rapper went viral on social media after deciding to cut trees for himself on his Atlanta estate. He claimed that it would have cost him $10,000 to have someone else cut down 10 trees on his property.

“I just told my homie, ‘You go to Home Depot and you go get me the biggest muthafuckin’ saw there is with a big chain, and you crank that muthafucka,” Ross says in the post. “Imma cut the trees down.’ You heard me? The thing about business, I’m hands on so Imma handle my own.”

“Hold on, I need someone to hit Kanye and tell Kanye I need some of them boots, I’m going to cut the tree down,” he joked. “I need some boots. Yeezy! I need them boots, baby!”

Zendaya and Labrinth Release ‘I’m Tired’ From ‘Euphoria’

by

Fresh off last night’s explosive season finale of “Euphoria,” Zendaya teams up with Labrinth to release “I’m Tired” from the hit HBO series.

Co-written by Labrinth and Zendaya, “I’m Tired” was originally performed in the emotional final scene of episode four that finds Rue standing in a church while Labrinth sings to her. The two came together after the episode aired to create a collaborative version, which played during the end credits of the finale.

“Hey Lord, you know I’m fighting / Hey Lord, you know, I’ll find it,” Zendaya sings on their chilling duet. “I don’t know when or how today / Hey Lord, I’m on my way.”

Speaking with IndieWire, the Emmy-winning composer recalled the emotional experience of performing the song on set. “I knew what Rue was going through. Being in a church, it felt spiritual,” said Labrinth. “Zendaya was crying. I was crying. We had Hunter [Schafer] and Dom[inic Fike] and everyone could feel the vibe there was different.”

Dominic Fike’s “Elliot’s Song,” which was performed during the season two finale, will be released to streaming services this Friday.

‘Encanto’ Highlight ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ Continues To Dominate, Staying At No. 1 For A Fifth Week

While it mostly traditional pop or hip-hop songs that hang out near the top of the charts, things have been different lately as standout Encanto hit “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has enjoyed a sustained run atop the Billboard Hot 100. It spent a fourth frame at No. 1 last week, and now it once again occupies that spot for a fifth time on the new chart dated March 5.

Billboard notes the song’s success this week is due to a significant uptick in radio airplay impressions (7.9 million of them, a 23-percent increase from the previous week) despite declines in streams and downloads.

A fifth week on top extends the song’s record for most weeks at No. 1 for a song from a Disney movie. In fact, it now has more weeks at No. 1 than the next two-biggest Disney songs combined: Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting’s “All For Love” from The Three Musketeers spent three weeks at No. 1 while “A Whole New World” from Aladdin logged a week on top.

Meanwhile, Gayle is having a moment, as her viral hit “ABCDEFU” has hit a new high on the Hot 100, rising from No. 4 last week to No. 3 today.
