As we barrel closer to April, festival season truly is just around the corner. Now folks in the Washington DC area have something concrete to look forward to: Today (March 18), Broccoli City announced its 2024 lineup.
The fest, which goes down at Audi Field from July 27 to 28, is led by Megan Thee Stallion, Gunna, and PartyNextDoor. Also on the poster are Lil Yachty, The Concrete Family, Kaytranada, Victoria Monét, Key Glock, Sexyy Red, Teezo Touchdown, Fridayy, Veeze, Amaarae, Jordan Ward, Skilla Baby, Baby Tate, Tyan Trey, and Chlothegod.
Aside from the core music artists, there’s also a set of other experiences to enjoy, like Trapsoul Karaoke hosted by Bryson Tiller, Coco Butter with Uncle Waffles, Test Your Game with Duke Dennis, and more.
As for tickets, there’s a pre-sale live now, which you can access with the code “EATGOOD24.” All-in ticket prices (meaning no addition fees) currently start at $225. More information about tickets is available on the Broccoli City website.
Uproxx’s Wongo Okon was at least year’s fest and he said of the event (in which weather was a factor), “Broccoli City Festival was a hectic weekend, but in the end, it was a satisfying showcase. Strong performances from Asake, Rema, Ice Spice, Brent Faiyaz, Chloe Bailey, Coco Jones, and others made it all worthwhile — especially when the dastardly sun set for the day or was at least covered by clouds. Some improvements are definitely in store for the next edition of the festival, but the highs and lows of Broccoli City shouldn’t deter you from checking out their next showcase, especially if the necessary changes are made.”
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
And this is why you don’t listen to The Shade Room, or any of those Instagram gossip accounts, really. I have harped on the subject of reliable sources for months and months and stuff like this is why.
During YG and Tyga’s set at Rolling Loud California this past weekend, YG brought Saweetie onstage, where they got cozy and exchanged declarations of love.
The two West Coast rappers were rumored to be dating after collaborating together on multiple songs. Then, in May 2023, they were spotted taking a romantic vacation in Cabo. Since then, they’ve been seemingly inseparable, teaming up with Tyga for the Str8 To The Club tour last autumn and collaborating again on Saweetie’s summer single “Birthday” (again with Tyga).
Saweetie has been more actively promoting her solo music this year, releasing the single “Richtivities” and collaborating with fellow Bay Area native P-Lo for the 49ers playoff anthem “Do It For The Bay.” It certainly sounds like she’s rebooting her album rollout, which could mean that her long-awaited debut project is on the way.
Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Brad Pitt, a name synonymous with Hollywood stardom, has been a fixture in the entertainment industry for decades. As of 2024, his net worth stands at an impressive $400 million, according to MovieMeter. But how did he amass such wealth, and what ventures contributed to his financial success?
Brad Pitt is not just an actor; he’s a brand. He consistently commands a minimum of $20 million for major motion picture releases. For an upcoming Apple TV movie about Formula One, he secured a career-high upfront salary of $30 million. Moreover, Brad’s talent is undeniable. He has been nominated for several Academy Awards and won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2020. Earlier, in 2014, he clinched an Academy Award as a Producer when 12 Years a Slave bagged the Best Picture award.
One of the significant contributors to Brad’s net worth is his co-founding of Plan B Entertainment. Initially started with his then-wife, Jennifer Aniston, in the 1990s, Brad later bought her out after their divorce. Over the years, Plan B has been behind some of the most critically acclaimed films, including The Departed, Moonlight, and 12 Years a Slave. Many of Brad’s movies, such as Troy, Moneyball, and The Big Short, were produced under this banner.

Born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, Brad Pitt’s journey to Hollywood stardom began in Springfield, Missouri. He attended the University of Missouri, majoring in journalism. However, the allure of acting led him to drop out just two weeks shy of graduation and move to Los Angeles. From minor roles and guest appearances, Brad’s breakthrough came with his supporting role in Thelma and Louise. His performances in movies like Seven, 12 Monkeys, and Fight Club solidified his position as a leading man in Hollywood.

He’s also set to star in and produce a Formula One racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski for Apple TV. Pitt earned a whopping $30 million. Further, in October 2022, it was revealed that Plan B was selling a 60% stake to French media conglomerate Mediawan, valuing Plan B at $300 million. This transaction indicates Brad’s astute business acumen, ensuring his net worth continues to grow.

Bobby Lytes is one of the many stars who has helped make Zeus Network a success. Overall, Zeus has come under fire for a lot of its programming. Crazy In Love and Baddies are two shows that some feel are too salacious to be shown on TV. Although they are watched by many, some argue that it isn’t entertainment that is worthy of attention. Regardless of these criticisms, Zeus has continued to do its own thing. In fact, it has a new show that is trying to top everything else it has put out. This new variety program is called Bad Vs. Wild and it is certainly a wild ride.
The show is hosted by Nick Cannon, who certainly has experience with reality TV. Moreover, the show is filled with various segments, including fights, rap battles, and even some live performances. You never truly know what is going to happen during any given episode. This has subsequently led to some wild moments that go viral on social media. Well, on Sunday, it was Bobby Lytes who ended up securing the viral clip. As you can see below, he had a wardrobe malfunction and ended up exposing himself. Clearly, he didn’t tuck correctly.
Everyone on set had a pretty good sense of humor about the whole thing. Nick Cannon made some jokes and even Lytes himself was quick to laugh the whole thing off. At the end of the day, this probably isn’t even the wildest thing to happen on the show. In fact, it is likely that this will all be topped next week. No one actually knows for sure, however, it is very clear to fans that Zeus will do anything to have its shows talked about.
Let us know what you think of Bad Vs. Wild, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the entertainment world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite entertainers and their upcoming projects.
Even though Kanye West shut down the Rolling Loud Festival 2024 weekend with Ty Dollar $ign, RIch The Kid and Playboy Carti, his set abruptly ended when a fight broke out in the crowd, leaving a trans woman brutally beaten in the melee.
The footage from Thursday’s capacity crowd performance shows what appears to be a trans woman getting into a physical altercation with one guy, which quickly turned into a full-out brawl in the crowd. The video shows the trans woman bloodied but continued in the fight despite the injuries.
A mix of bystanders is watching and cheering it on, while others are seemingly trying to break it up. Another group appears to push the person back into the fight, encouraging the chaos and shouting “WorldStar.”
It didn’t take long before the full-blown brawl calmed down, and everyone went back to partying to Yeezy’s music. No one was arrested, and no injuries were reported.
Chad Ochocinco has put down the football and picked up the mic with his latest surprise appearance at the URL rap battle, where he faced off against DNA.

During a recent interview with Gillie and Wallo on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, she explained that she doesn’t plan on collaborating with Rihanna, who has also kept fans waiting for new music for years. “I love Rihanna’s music. But, I don’t [make] music like that,” she explained. “I sound kinda stupid trying to sing like that. I sound stupid trying to make music like that. So, if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song…I know she’s going to like it.’ I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the f*ck is this sh*t? Take this thing out of my face.’”
