It was only a matter of time until more and more tech companies started implementing similar features. Twitter launched a test-version of this feature but even LinkedIn and Facebook are testing the waters with the audio chat rooms. 

According to The Verge, Spotify has now acquired Betty Labs, the company that’s responsible for Locker Room — a live sports audio app. Though the streaming service hasn’t disclosed how much they paid, the decision to bring this feature to their platform is meant to bring artists closer to their audience. This can be for discussions, performances, or even album premieres.

The feature won’t solely be available to Spotify-approved curators but anyone who would like to host a chat. It makes this feature now makes Spotify in direct competition to Clubhouse but also apps like Twitter Spaces and Discord. There’s also a possibility that curators may also be able to monetize on these audio rooms.

21 Savage teased his involvement in the film after an unreleased song of his, titled “Spiral”, was previewed in the trailer.

“@saw Soundtrack By Me,” wrote the well-respected rapper on Instagram, sharing the trailer. The upcoming film is set to release May 14, coming from the book of Saw. If you’ve seen any of the horrifying previous installments, you should already know what kind of time Jigsaw will be on for Spiral.

It’s been over a year since the last in-person music festival took place in the US. However, with the roll-out of vaccines taking place across the country, festival organizers are confident that large-scale live music events will be able to return in the coming months. Hard Summer Music Festival is especially optimistic, as they’ve unveiled their lineup for this summer’s event.

The hip-hop focused festival has invited big-names to perform at their event. Headliners include Future, 2 Chainz, Lil Durk, Don Toliver, and Iann Dior. Other musicians have also been tapped to take the stage like Mario Judah, Snot, Rubi Rose, Dillon Francis, and Jauz.

The festival is usually held in Fontana, California, but this year, Hard Summer is headed to NOS Event Center in the city of San Bernardino the weekend of July 31 to August 1. The new location makes it possible to have a more spread-out event, taking place across five different stages. Organizers are making efforts to have COVID precautions in place for the event as well. In press materials, the festival claims, “Hard will be working closely with local officials to implement necessary safety precautions and will follow state and local health guidelines in place at the time of the event.”

A Video Of Quavo And Saweetie Having A Fight In An Elevator Has Surfaced

Last week, fans of the Quavo and Saweetie couple were devastated to learn that the pair had broken up. Although both artists shared claims that the other was at fault, many fans speculated that Quavo’s infidelity was the reason behind the split. However, today, TMZ surfaced a new video that shows the two had a lot more problems than it appeared on the surface.

In the video, Quavo and Saweetie have an altercation in an elevator, caught by the elevator’s security camera. Saweetie takes a swing at Quavo, and the two scuffle over an orange suitcase with Quavo ultimately grabbing Saweetie and flinging her to the floor of the elevator. There is no sound, so we can’t hear what the two say to each other, but there’s some discussion before Saweetie gets up and walks past Quavo, who stays behind after propping open the door with the suitcase.

The former couple was a fan favorite before their breakup, with the story of Quavo’s DM icebreaker becoming a meme and sweet, behind-the-scenes stories filtering into their interviews. Fans fawned over the couple’s luxurious gifts to each other, but in her tweet confirming their breakup, Saweetie admitted that gifts weren’t enough to “band aid scars.” While those scars were initially thought to be emotional, this new revelation prompts the question of whether some were physical as well.

You can watch the video on TMZ.

Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Lil Nas X Is Trying To Will A ‘South Park’ Episode About His Satan Controversy Into Existence

by
YouTube

Over the past few days, Lil Nas X has proven yet again that he knows how to get all sorts of reactions out of all sorts of people. With his “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” video and his controversial sneakers (both of which are Satan-themed), he has delighted some onlookers while making others irate. Now, he is hoping that his story will inspire an episode from a show that gets similar reactions out of its fans and haters: South Park.

This afternoon, Nas seemingly tried to will an episode of the show into existence by tweeting, “this gone be a good ass south park episode lmao.”

A South Park episode about Nas’ new controversy certainly isn’t outside of the realm of possibility. The show is made quickly, which allows Trey Parker and Matt Stone to tackle specific contemporary topics: Just this month, they released a special episode about the coronavirus vaccine. Meanwhile, Satan is actually a recurring character on South Park, so it’s not like an appearance from the devil would be out of the ordinary.

There’s certainly a lot of source material to work with: The maker of the “Satan shoes” is reportedly being sued by Nike and the Church Of Satan is on board with what Nas has been up to.

Post Malone Gets Shot In Jason Statham “Wrath Of Man” Trailer

by

Post Malone is back on the big screen, starring in Jason Statham’s upcoming movie Wrath Of Man. The rapper has been popping up in more and more projects that don’t involve his music, expanding his brand in Hollywood, and accepting roles outside of his comfort zone. He got to square off against Mark Wahlberg in Spenser Confidential, a crime drama for Netflix, and he’s officially returning to the silver screen with Wrath Of Man.

The trailer for the upcoming film was released this week, showing Jason Statham transporting large amounts of money in armored cars. Malone attempts to lead a heist on one of the cars but Statham was one step ahead of the rapper and his crew. As one of Posty’s sidekicks tries to grab the money, he gets shot, inciting a shootout between Malone and Statham. The action movie veteran does his thing, casually shooting dozens of rounds perfectly at his targets before catching up to Post effortlessly, ending his character’s misery with a couple of well-placed shots.

The new movie will be in theaters on May 7. Wrath Of Man was directed by Guy Ritchie. 

Watch the trailer above and let us know if you plan on watching the new movie once it’s out.
