Kanye West still hasn’t released his highly-anticipated studio album DONDA, but he’s already breaking records for it. With his two listening events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in which he played unfinished versions of the project, the music legend has continued to create hype around DONDA, nearly doubling his previous Apple Music streaming record with the viewership from the second party.
The second event was held in Atlanta, Georgia last week, and it ended with a death-defying floating stunt from Kanye, who floated levitated out of the arena. As reports suggest he’s already made $7 million from DONDA merch alone, it’s now being reported that Kanye almost doubled his viewership numbers from the first live stream, which broke an Apple Music record.
The second DONDA listening event reportedly had over 5.4 million people tuned in concurrently to watch the rollout continue. In the two weeks that ‘Ye was living inside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the artist seemingly worked non-stop on the album, previewing a much-more refined version of DONDA on Thursday. Perhaps by the next listening event, 10 million people will be watching and even more updates will have happened.
The first listening session broke a record previously set by Gucci Mane and Jeezy’s Verzuz battle on Apple Music, clocking in a total of 3.3 million viewers.
Have you been enjoying the DONDA rollout, or are you anxious for the album to finally arrive? Let us know in the comments.
Following Kenneth Petty’s plea deal in his case as a sex offender in the state of California, it appears as though Nicki Minaj may be trying to distance herself from her husband on social media. Or, at least, that’s what some fans are fearing.
For nearly the last two years, Nicki has gone as “Mrs. Petty” on Twitter. The name change sparked marriage rumors at the time, which turned out to be true. Considering the fact that she low-key teased her marital union on the platform, could it be that she’s also hinting at trouble in paradise by reverting back to her old name?
Some fans have noticed that sometime last week, The Queen changed her name on Twitter back to “Nicki Minaj.” The move was made shortly after Kenneth Petty’s latest case with the state of California, reaching a plea deal after initially failing to register as a sex offender. Nicki hasn’t commented on the change, but fans are fearing the worst from it.
“It’s the end of an era I fear,” said one fan about Mrs. Petty changing her name back to her stage moniker. “I used to pray for times like this,” said another Barb, quoting Nicki’s lyrics and suggesting that they’re hoping she drops her husband.
It’s unclear what prompted the change, but it could also signal some new music on the way from the legendary rapper. After all, she never went by Mrs. Petty in her music, so she might finally be ready to return with a new album.
What do you think of the minor change?

Kanye West has been rolling out Donda with ongoing listening sessions and delayed release dates while Drake is preparing for the arrival of Certified Lover Boy with promises that the album will make its way to streaming services before summer’s end. However, Machine Gun Kelly is carving the path for his forthcoming project Born With Horns with a few tattoos that he recently shared on social media.
The rapper-turned-rocker has been jet-setting with his movie star girlfriend Megan Fox as the pair show off their affections on red carpets from coast to coast, and at the turn of Thursday (August 12) morning, MGK returned with the first single from his upcoming album titled “Papercuts.” The track is a collaboration with his famous friend Travis Barker, and it comes as no surprise to see these two together considering MGK and Fox have been photographed for months double-dating with the Blink-182 icon and his girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian.
MGK is also sporting a new look these days as he has shaved all of his hair off, displaying a tattoo on the top of his dome. The “Papercuts” visual shows MGK giving his best emo-phase energy as he traverses Hollywood’s most famous streets including Sunset, Santa Monica, and Hollywood boulevards. It may be a far cry from the tracks he was dishing out while dissing Eminem, but MGK has spoken openly about returning to his rock roots.
Check out the video for “Papercuts” and let us know what you think.
Quotable Lyrics
Sleepin’ in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don’t belong, I’m a punk
Hello world, you f*ckin’ suck
Just seven months after sharing his debut album, Virgo World, Lil Tecca returned with a string of singles, including “Show Me Up,” “Never Left,” “Money On Me,” and his most recent track, “Repeat It” with Gunna. The latter, which is the rappers’ first collaboration, finds them both bragging about the multiple ways they can flex their wealth. Days after the single was released, Tecca debuts an accompanying video for it.
Filled with bright, fluorescent colors, it shows Tecca riding confidently in a luxury vehicle before joining Gunna for a small party, where they’re surrounded by a cast of women.
Tecca’s brand new video arrives after he announced his next project, We Love You Tecca 2, is on the way. A release date for the upcoming full-length effort had not yet been shared, but from the looks of it, fans won’t have to wait too long for Tecca’s next body of work. Gunna, on the other hand, recently joined Polo G for their latest collaboration, “Waves.”
You can watch the video for “Repeat It” above.
We Love You Tecca 2 is out soon via Galatic/Republic. Pre-order it here.
