Considering his prominent position in music and popular culture, it is almost hard to believe Lil Nas X has yet to even release a full-length debut album. He kicked off the rollout of the upcoming project with the controversial lead single “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” which earned Nas a wave of backlash for the satanic imagery used in the visuals associated with the project.
Despite the backlash, the song went on to become the Georgia native’s second number-one single, debuting atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It seems like Lil Nas X is ready to launch his next smash hit, announcing on Twitter Monday (May 3) plans to premiere “Montero’s” follow-up single during his upcoming Saturday Night Live appearance.

“Saturday Night Live MONTERO + NEW SONG 5/22,” penned the Grammy-winner on Twitter. He attached an accompanying graphic revealing the show’s co-host as The Queen’s Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy. He’s set to hit the stage for the coveted appearance as the final musical guest for the 46th season of the series, which is an overall pretty honorific scheduled performance.
Right now, not much is known about the unreleased, unnamed single Lil Nas X is set to debut. The track is more than likely off his upcoming album tentatively titled Montero with a summer 2021 release planned.
Aside from debuting the track, it will be the first live performance of “Montero.” It will be intriguing to see how Lil Nas will present a live, PG-version of the suggestive visuals for the track, so let us know if you’ll be tuning in down in the comments.
Music festivals around the world are still being postponed or canceled outright because of the coronavirus pandemic but organizers are hopeful that things can finally begin to return to a sense of normalcy this summer. Although we were met with the unfortunate news this morning that the Roskilde Festival would no longer take place this year in Denmark featuring performances from Kendrick Lamar and others, we learned that Governors Ball 2021 will presumably go down with a pretty exciting lineup in September.
Taking place at Citi Field in New York City, which is expected to be fully reopened within the next few weeks, Governors Ball 2021 has officially announced their return lineup after taking the year off last year for COVID. It will be headlined by Billie Eilish, A$AP Rocky, and Post Malone. A mix of hip-hop, pop, rock, and dance artists have also been confirmed for the festival, including DaBaby, 24kGoldn, J Balvin, Megan Thee Stallion, Cordae, Aminé, Young Thug, Ellie Goulding, Burna Boy, 21 Savage, Smino, 100 gecs, and more.
The upcoming three-day festival will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Governors Ball. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, May 6 at 12 PM ET here. If you’re a Citi card member, the presale is already open.
Check out the full lineup below and let us know if you’ll be in New York for this!
Benny The Butcher has only recently delivered his latest album The Plugs I Met 2, a project that continued his tradition of critical acclaim. In fact, there’s a case to be made that the Black Soprano Family lyricist is among the most esteemed rappers in the game right now, having set such a lofty standard for quality. Today, it was confirmed that The Butcher has locked into the studio with a fellow kindred spirit, an artist in the midst of his own triumphant creative hot streak — Grammy-nominated Alfredo aficionado Freddie Gibbs.
Taking to Twitter, Benny confirmed that he and Gangsta Gibbs are currently in the midst of a studio session, joined by none other than Burden Of Proof producer Hit-Boy. Though it’s unclear as to what the trifecta is cooking up, it’s certainly possible that some of the material will end up on Freddie Gibb’s upcoming SSS album, a star-studded affair with confirmed features from Pharrell Williams, Metro Boomin, The Alchemist, Hit-Boy, Mike WiLL Made-It, and more.
It’s equally possible that some of this material will wind up on whatever Benny has cooking up. Though he only recently dropped off a new album, the Griselda trifecta are easily some of hip-hop’s most prolific, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see The Butcher looking to drop off some new material ahead of his upcoming Burden Of Plugs tour this fall. Keep an eye out for further details on the upcoming collaboration between Freddie Gibbs, Benny The Butcher, and Hit-Boy, and sound off if you’re eager to see what the trio have been cooking up.
In the later stages of his career, music mogul JAY-Z has been mostly a private person. Every once in a while, a new picture of his family or a fresh interview will appear from out of nowhere online. During his latest interview with The Times UK, the 51-year-old legend spoke about his experience during the pandemic, his family, and more. As his fans gravitate toward that in-depth piece, others are being caught by misleading headlines suggesting that another interview, in which he discussed how he “regretted” writing his “Big Pimpin” lyrics, was also published recently. His statements about the song have gone viral on social media with thousands of people discussing the claims, wondering whether he’ll ever perform the song again. However, that interview was actually done over eleven years ago and isn’t current at all.
Considering the fact that JAY-Z almost never does press, it isn’t so surprising that some of his words are being misconstrued from decade-old interviews. People are clearly hungry for more JAY-Z content after his standout appearance on DJ Khaled’s new album. Don’t be fooled by his comments on “Big Pimpin” though.
Several media outlets, including The Source, fell for the viral post, reporting it as though the statements were new. At the time, Hov spoke with the Wall Street Journal about how profound most of his lyrics are before explaining that he regretted writing some of the bars in “Big Pimpin.” “That’s the exception. It was like… I can’t believe I said that,” he said in 2010. “And kept saying it? What type of animal would say this sort of thing. Reading it is really harsh.”
The smash-hit remains one of the biggest rap songs of all time. Since the interview was published, JAY-Z has performed the song more times than we can remember, so despite his regret, he’s seemingly still onboard with rapping it live for his fans worldwide.
Check out what people are saying about the old interview below.
NLE Choppa has proven time and time again that he’s not afraid to get a little reckless. Just last month, while filming the music video for his first day out freestyle after being arrested on multiple charges, the 18-year-old artist completely wrecked his hellcat, sharing footage of the ruins on social media.
Most recently, the Memphis rapper was caught on video engaged in a massive beachside brawl. According to Choppa, a fan began disrespecting him once he refused to take a photo with him, prompting a physical fight to break out. Video capturing the incident shows the artist receiving a solid punch to the chin, which has since become the source of internet memes all around.
Following the incident, Choppa began to trend on Twitter as people reacted to the now-viral footage. The focus of the jokes center around him receiving the worst part of the fight. “I ain’t gonna lie…NLE Choppa Was two more bops away from Slumber if the gang wasn’t there,” penned one user, attaching a fitting visual for the remark.
Another joked, “Fat boy hit NLE Choppa with the Marge Simpson,” adding in another fitting visual as well.
He continued, “And I eat punches ask bout me. Imma rush you take what you got to give and resume beating some. Honestly ain’t wanna fight I was just tryna walk the beach.” Of course, the jokes roared on. Check out some more memes below from he whole situation.
Drake is getting Adonis ready for a legendary life. He’s presumably already been exposed to greatness in the studio but in case he doesn’t show any interest in music, Drake wants his son to know about one of the greatest basketball players to ever step on the court. He took some time to coach the three-year-old on some of LeBron James’ best moments as a professional in the NBA, which elicited a strong reaction from the pre-schooler.
Sharing a video of his little one tuned into LeBron’s highlights as a member of the Miami Heat, including a no-look pass to Erick Dampier and a stunning block on Jimmy Butler, which got an “Oh my god!” out of little Adonis.
From the way Adonis is watching the video, he seems to be pretty locked in. Possibly showing interest in basketball, the three-year-old could be a menace on the court in future years if he’s already watching LeBron James highlights like this. Greatness does flow in his veins… do you think Adonis might one day become a star in the NBA? Could he be the next cornerstone player for the Toronto Raptors?
Drake has been working hard on his upcoming studio album Certified Lover Boy, for which we’re expecting to hear an update soon. Recently, Drake was accused by a man of breaking up his 8-year relationship with singer Naomi Sharon, claiming that the rapper flew her out to record for the album and ended up allegedly getting intimate. Read more about that here.
Watch the highlight below that Adonis was impressed by.
