Bad Bunny Turns Up In New York And Gets Kidnapped To His Own Wedding In His ‘Titi Me Pregunto’ Video

Less than two years after releasing his chart-topping album El Último Tour Del Mundo, Bad Bunny returned with his fourth album Un Verano Sin Ti last month. The full-length album checks in with 23 songs and guest appearances from Chencho Corleone, Jhay Cortez, Tony Dize, Rauw Alejandro, Bomba Estéreo, The Marías, and Buscabulla. Less than a month after Un Verano Sin Ti arrived, Bad Bunny looks to keep the album’s spirit alive with a video for “Titi Me Pregunto.”

The visual kicks off with Bad Bunny stopping by a bodega in New York to purchase a few items. When he walks out, the song’s spirited Dembow beat drops, and a few moments later, Bad Bunny is partying with New York residents in the middle of the city’s streets. A short time later, Bad Bunny is kidnapped and brought to his own wedding where his girlfriend Gabriela Berlingeri eventually meets him.

Bad Bunny is having quite a successful year thanks to Un Verano Sin Ti. The project had Spotify’s biggest-ever streaming day after it was released and it later became his second consecutive No. 1 album.

You can watch the video for “Titi Me Pregunto” above.

Lil Nas X Calls Out The BET Awards For Giving Him ‘An Outstanding Zero Nominations’ For Its 2022 Show

The BET Award nominations for 2022 were revealed today and fans had plenty of thoughts about who was selected for the upcoming show. Noticeably missing from the nominees was Lil Nas X, who had two Billboard chart-topping hits last year with “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” and “Industry Baby,” which featured Jack Harlow. He also had another top-10 hit with “That’s What I Want.”

Fans noticed that Harlow, who received his first No. 1 single with “Industry Baby,” received a nomination for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, and they immediately called out BET. “Jack Harlow got a BET award nom and Lil Nas X didn’t? During pride month? During Black Music History month? Is that what I’m seeing?,” said Twitter user @Tendurag.

Lil Nas X responded to the nominations in the most Lil Nas X way possible. “Thank you bet awards,” he said in a now-deleted tweet. “An outstanding zero nominations again. black excellence!”

He later clarified that it wasn’t the lack of nominations that peeved him, but rather the lack of representation of Black and queer artists.

“I just feel like black gay ppl have to fight to be seen in this world,” he said in another deleted tweet, “and even when we make it to the top mfs try to pretend we are invisible.”

The 2022 BET Awards will air Sunday, June 26 at 8 p.m. EST / 7 p.m. CST on BET.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music Artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Tulsa Hospital Shooting Leaves 5 Dead, Including Suspect: Report

While details remain scarce at this time of this publication, expect to hear much more about this incident in the weeks to come. America has been overwhelmed with grief following two mass murders in recent weeks, causing a firestorm of political pressure for increased gun control measures. A white supremacist traveled 200 miles to Tops Market in a Black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York to specifically murder Black people, and during that confrontation, 10 lives were lost.

Last week, 19 students and two teachers were murdered at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and during that shooting, the suspect was also killed. Today (June 1), the month begins with reports out of Tulsa, Oklahoma regarding a shooting at St. Francis Hospital.

Again, little is currently known as police have yet to detail what occurred, but it has been reported that a man armed with a rifle opened fire in the Natalie Building of the medical center. That building is reportedly used for sports medicine and orthopedic surgery. It is unclear if the shooter had particular victims in mind, but sadly, the suspect reportedly murdered four people during the altercation.

Police report that the suspect, too, was killed. We will keep you updated on this situation as the authorities share more information with the public.

Additionally, May 31 to June 1 marks the 101st anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. It was in 1921 when a mob of white residents was given weapons by authorities before they murdered and attached Black citizens while burning down their homes and businesses. It has been labeled as one of the worst domestic terrorist attacks in the history of the U.S.

Chrisean Rock Hints At Relationship Problems With Blueface: “Ion Got The Energy”

Following the explosive altercation that recently went viral, Chrisean Rock hints at there being trouble in her relationship-situationship with Blueface. Rock has been a ride or die for the California rapper ever since they met during her feature on his OnlyFans reality series with several other women. She later became his artist but it was clear that their relationship smudged the personal-or-professional line. They appeared on social media displaying their affections, but she was also arrested after allegedly stealing his car and driving cross country.

Meanwhile, Rock and Blueface’s mother seemed to be getting along just fine, but this week, the world watched as a video of a physical altercation circulated. Rock confirmed that she fought Blueface’s mother and sister, but the two women would accuse the rapper of hitting them, as well.

The entire debacle has caused everyone involved to become talking points and face backlash, but a few tweets by Rock suggested that things weren’t happy at home with Blueface. Onsite grabbed screenshots where it seemed as if Rock was stating that Blue was with other women.

“Wen ya n*gga give his d*ck up to another b*tch it takes the value from the relationship,” she wrote. “That tht point the relationship is confused friendship. Ion got the energy nor mind to get wit it I feel like I make my self busy onpurpose to ignore the truth about sh*t… Whish I can take my heart out of my chest n throw it away I wonder who Id be after tht.”

“Tusslen wit depression.” Meanwhile, Rock just revealed that she got herself a new tattoo on the front of her neck of Blueface’s…well, face. Check it out below.

Kanye West Files Trademark for Yeezus Amusement Park

Look out, Disneyland. A Yeezus theme park could be in the future.

Kanye West has filed 17 new trademark applications around his Yeezus name, including one for an amusement park. The trademarks were filed by Ye’s company Mascotte Holdings, Inc. on May 27, according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben.

In addition to a theme park, the filings indicate an intent to launch Yeezus-branded cosmetics, household items, clothing and bags, toys and games, blockchain-based currencies, NFTs, and more. Yeezus is the title of Ye’s sixth studio album, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year.

This is the latest in a series of trademark filings for the billionaire tycoon. Last year, Ye filed a trademark application to add the DONDA name to a series of tech line products, including tablet computers, audio speakers, and surround sound systems.

He also revealed plans to expand his Yeezy brand in the area of beauty and skincare, and even add the Kanye West name to a line of homeware products.

Ye’s empire continues to grow. He recently launched his Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga line including denim jackets, hoodies, and bodysuits, and is working with McDonald’s to redesign their packaging.

Meanwhile, he remains committed to music, dropping collaborations with XXXTentacion (“True Love”) and Vory (“Daylight”).

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘We Cry Together’ Had One Of The Biggest Single-Week Drops In ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 History

Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers set some records after its release last month. For what it’s worth, that shouldn’t be surprising as his loyal fan base spent five years waiting on a new body of work from him. For example, Kendrick broke Apple Music’s record for the most first-day streams by an album that was released in 2022. Shortly after its release, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers also had the biggest debut on the Billboard 200 chart in 2022. A few weeks later, Kendrick had a rare occurrence with one of his songs on the Billboard chart, and it’s not one we might have expected from him.

XXL notes that Kendrick’s “We Cry Together,” which features contributions from actress Taylour Paige, fell down a total of 81 spots — from No. 16 to No. 97 — between the May 24 and May 31 updates of the Billboard Hot 100. This makes for one of the biggest single-week drops ever on the song chart. However, it’s not the biggest that we’ve seen from a song in the past couple of years.

Back in 2020, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” went from topping the singles chart one week to completely falling off the Hot 100 the following week. Despite this, the track would go on to become the first song to be No. 1 in four separate years after it originally topped the charts in 2019 and did so again in 2021 and 2022.

On the bright side for Kendrick, his 2012 album Good Kid M.A.A.D. City recently became the only hip-hop studio album to spend 500 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

Mo’Nique Returns With Another Jab At D.L. Hughley & Steve Harvey

No one is quite sure when this escalating dispute between D.L. Hughley and Mo’Nique will end, but she and her husband Sidney Hicks have continued to press forward with their grievances. Days ago, Hughley and Mo’Nique were both booked to perform at a show in Detroit. According to Hughley, he never saw or spoke with Mo’Nique at the event, but he claimed she arrived late and attempted to have the show move forward with her performing last. Hughley claimed he was the headliner, per his contract with promoters, and he has fought hard for his place in the industry and refused to budge, as did the organizers.

This is what allegedly set off Mo’Nique before she took to the stage to bash him, his wife, Steve Harvey, and others. According to Mo’Nique, however, her contract stated that she was headlining and before anyone knew it, both parties were firing off copies of contracts, promotional materials, and scathing messages.

Hughley took to his radio show to question why Mo’Nique would attack him and his family—specifically saying that she “feels sorry for your wife having to perform a sexual act on a coward”—if she was upset with how things went down. After his video went viral yesterday, Mo’Nique and Hicks popped up in a clip of their own to further continue the dialogue.

“There was nothing that was said about your wife, your family. It was directed specifically to you,” said Hicks. Mo’Nique agreed before adding: “Saturday night, D.L. Hughley was going to get his ass handed to him because, through the years, I’ve heard this man have a lot to say about me.”

She said she wasn’t going to address those comments during an interview or some sit-down. “The night that I spoke about D.L. Hughley, I wanted D.L. Hughley to be there.” Mo’Nique claimed that she used this opportunity to bring up Steve Harvey because she said he and Hughley sat down together for a radio interview and “lied.”

Mo’Nique explained that it was her mission over the weekend to get back at Hughley for the negativity, and she disputed his claim that several audience members were disappointed with her display. Her husband also chimed in to have her back. Check out the full-hour video, as well as Hughley’s latest Gervonta Davis-inspired response, below.
