Over Half A Billion Ticketmaster Customers Apparently Just Had Their Personal Data Stolen
With how ingrained shopping and doing other things online are in our lives, this means that a ton of companies have access to our personal data. Ideally, they’re taking care to keep it safe, but sometimes, things happen. Well, it looks like a thing just happened: As Consequence notes, the hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen the personal data of 560 million Ticketmaster customers.
ShinyHunters says they’ve stolen 1.3 terrabytes of data from Ticketmaster, including a lot of sensitive information: usernames, contact information, order info, and partial payment info like the last four digits of credit card numbers and expiration dates. They are offering to sell their haul for $500,000.
Ticketmaster themselves have yet to acknowledge the supposed hacking, but a spokesperson for Australia’s Department Of Home Affairs told the Australian Broadcasting Department it’s “working with Ticketmaster to understand the incident.”
This news arrives while Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation is already not having an awesome time: It was reported last week that the US Department Of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, “accusing [Live Nation Entertainment] of illegally maintaining a monopoly in the live entertainment industry.”
Public sentiment really turned against Ticketmaster in 2022, when the platform had significant issues as tickets for Taylor Swift’s wildly popular The Eras Tour went on sale.
Kodak Black Has Cars Vandalized As His Second Baby Mama Goes After His First During Vicious Social Media Tirade
Kodak Black was having a good time just a couple of days ago as he was out and about with his first baby mama Jammiah Broomfield. Overall, the two are parents to Kodak’s first child King Khalid Octave. As we reported, Kodak and his son looked like twins, and they were having lots of fun with one another. In fact, Kodak seemed to be more than happy alongside Broomfield, as they were posted up together on Instagram. However, it seems as though this outing has angered Kodak’s other BM, Maranda Johnson.
While taking to social media, Johnson posted a photo of two of Kodak’s cars with the windows smashed in. This subsequently came with a warning as Johnson wrote “Hoe yo shit next! Bitches better find them a bitch to play with.” She also claimed that she would be taking Kodak to court. “Fuck n***a you just played yourself. I’ll see you in court fuck n***a,” she wrote. The rant did not stop there, as she had some truly disparaging words for Jammiah.

“You doing all that groupie shit and still don’t got shit,” Johnson wrote. “Everything he buy King you sell it to buy drugs. You dead beat ass bitch. You so proud to get fucked and sent home. How you a side bitch to yo own bd??” For those who may not know, Kodak and Johnson have two children together. In fact, Johnson recently gave birth to Kodak’s fourth child. Having said that, a very serious conversation between these two is in order. Hopefully, they can settle their differences in a respectful and mutually-beneficial manner.

Drake Set to Have His Own Song on Camila Cabello’s Album
Drake is giving out features to all the ladies. After popping up on Sexyy Red’s latest mixtape, Drake will lend his talents to Camila Cabello.
Speaking with Billboard, Cabello revealed that The Boy will be on two singles from her forthcoming album, spawned by their time in Turks & Caicos.
“I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
“He wanted to do one more thing for the album,” Cabello said. “Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his shit.”

Diddy Shut Down Posthumous Biggie Magazine Cover, Opting for Himself: ‘He’s Dead’
The relationship between The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy was reportedly not as glamorous as it seemed. In a new report from Rolling Stone, Biggie was in a legal battle with the Bad Boy mogul before his murder.
The report states Biggie was attempting to gain control of his career. Photographer Monique Bunn revealed Biggie “was absolutely about to leave Puff. I know for a fact, he told me that.”
The Notorious B.I.G. would get murdered, and with a Rolling Stone cover on the table at the time, former Bad Boy co-founder and president Kirk Burrowes suggested Biggie get the cover. Diddy declined that idea, wanting to take the moment for himself.
“I was telling Sean, ‘Let’s make it Biggie. You still have a chance [for a cover in the future],’” Burrowes recalled. “He’s like ‘No, he’s dead. I’m putting out [No Way Out] in July. I need to be on the cover of Rolling Stone.”
The cover is available below.
Former Bad Boy President Kirk Burrows details a time when Rolling Stone approached Bad Boy Records with a front cover opportunity after Biggie died, but Diddy selfishly refused to allow Biggie to be on the cover because he wanted to promote his solo album, “No Way Out”.

Cardi B caught fans by surprise at Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour on Tuesday night (May 21), joining the Houston rapper in her headlining debut at Madison Square Garden.
Check out the images below …
The sold-out crowd erupted as Cardi, donning a black corset and thigh-high leather boots, took the stage. Despite some audio issues, she delivered powerful performances of her chart-topping hits “WAP” and “Bongos” alongside Megan. And from the looks of them together, they probably turned the temperature up in the building by about 100 degrees, at least.
Cardi then shifted to her popular “Tomorrow 2” remix, bringing opener GloRilla back on stage. The surprises didn’t end there—Megan and Glo revealed Cardi’s involvement in a forthcoming remix of their track “Wanna Be,” currently at No. 47 on the Hot 100.
The Hot Girl Summer Tour is just starting, with upcoming dates in cities like Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and Memphis. Meanwhile, speculation about Cardi B’s next album continues. Despite a recent tweet indicating no new album this year, her representative later confirmed a 2024 release is still planned. Cardi emphasized her role in opening doors for new female rappers in a Rolling Stone feature, stating, “These labels weren’t believing in new rap artists until I got signed.”
Just days after the New York Knicks’ playoff exit, Madison Square Garden’s atmosphere transformed from gloom to excitement. Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour brought high-energy performances and celebrated New York’s hip-hop stars, including Cardi B and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
Fans, dressed in cowboy hats and Megan-themed attire, filled the arena with anticipation. The show began with GloRilla, whose dynamic performance set a high bar. She delivered hits like “Lick Or Sum” and “FNF (Let’s Go)” with impressive energy, even overcoming a wardrobe malfunction with humor.
GloRilla brought out A Boogie, who performed “Jungle” before returning the stage to her. The energy remained high as Glo seamlessly transitioned back to her hits, setting the stage for Megan’s grand entrance.
In a vibrant red outfit, Megan Thee Stallion commanded the stage, proving her arena-headlining prowess. She performed hits like “HISS” and “Freak Nasty,” demonstrating her lyrical and dance talents, particularly her famed “Megan Knees.” During “Gift And a Curse,” she made a powerful statement on abortion rights, reinforcing her message with her fist in the air.
The concert’s highlight came when Cardi B joined Megan for “Bongos” and “WAP.” Despite technical issues, their chemistry shone through, thrilling the audience. Cardi’s classic verse from “Tomorrow 2” brought GloRilla back on stage, creating a memorable moment of unity among the three female rappers. They announced an upcoming “Wanna Be” remix featuring Cardi, to the crowd’s delight.
Megan continued her solo set with hits like “Stalli Freestyle” and “Body,” encouraging fans to embrace themselves. She closed the show with “Savage,” leaving no doubt about her star power and stage presence.
Megan’s debut as a headliner at Madison Square Garden was a triumph, showcasing her talent and the power of perseverance. The Hot Girl Summer Tour’s kickoff promises more exciting performances as it continues nationwide.

SOURCE SPORTS: Gatorade Revives Iconic “Is It In You?” Campaign with A’Ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, Jayson Tatum & More
Gatorade, the world’s leading sports drink, has announced the return of its iconic tagline, “Is It In You?”, with the largest campaign in the brand’s history. The tagline, first made famous in the 1990s and early 2000s featuring Michael Jordan, reintroduces the concept of “IT” – the inner drive that fuels greatness – with a contemporary twist for today’s athletes.
The campaign aims to address modern pressures and distractions that young athletes face. New data from Gatorade reveals that 53% of Gen Z athletes who quit sports cite external factors like social pressures and unrealistic expectations. To combat this, Gatorade is leveraging its elite athlete roster to help relaunch “Is It In You?” and inspire athletes to focus on their inner drive.
“As the brand that has been on the sidelines fueling athletes for decades, we’re committed to not only helping them stay in the game but also celebrating their unique ‘IT’,” said Gatorade Chief Brand Officer, Anuj Bhasin. “The return of ‘Is It In You?’, our biggest campaign of all time, is about acknowledging how much the sports landscape has changed, while reminding athletes that one thing hasn’t – the inner drive that fuels you – and that’s what matters most.”
“With ‘Is It In You?’ in the ‘90s, we inspired a generation,” said Michael Jordan, Gatorade’s longest standing athlete partner, six-time NBA Champion, five-time NBA MVP and 14-time NBA All-Star. “The return of ‘Is It In You?’ is another chapter in greatness for Gatorade, a brand that has fueled champions for decades and relentlessly serves athletes on and off the field.”
The campaign kicked off with a powerful 60-second film, “IT Hasn’t Changed,” narrated by Michael Jordan. The film features stories from Gatorade athletes such as Josh Allen, Caitlin Clark, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Jayson Tatum, A’ja Wilson, and DJ Lagway, who have overcome obstacles by tapping into their personal “IT”. The film debuted during the NBA Western Conference Finals Game 4.
Throughout the summer, the campaign will include a colored sweat takeover on social media, custom filters on Snapchat and Instagram, and billboards nationwide. Fans can follow Gatorade’s social media for more updates.
This campaign follows a strong first half for Gatorade, which continues to lead the sports drink market and expand into new areas such as equipment, beverage enhancers, and enhanced water, making it the most complete portfolio of athletic solutions available.
