Playboi Carti’s “Popular” Verse Receives Kidz Bop Cover

by

Kidz Bop has released a cover of the Playboi Carter verse from The Weeknd’s 2023 single “Popular”. The song was produced for the HBO series The Idol and also features a verse from Madonna. The new verse now reads – “Money on top of me, money on top of her/ money on top of me, money on top of her/ If shawty hangs with me, she know I’m popular.” The clean version removes the word “f-ck” from the final line, which is also no longer repeated.

The overwhelming fan reaction was bemusement, which is often the case with Kidz Bop covers. Other 2024 Kidz Bop covers include “Barbie World”, “Seven”, and “Paint The Town Red”. Kidz Bop is famous for taking adult-oriented songs and cleaning them up for a younger audience. The lengths that need to be taken for this to occur often result in fairly bizarre covers, especially as they are still sung by children. How do you feel about “Popular” getting the Kidz Bop cover?

Lil Yachty Teases New Playboi Carti Collab

Meanwhile, Lil Yachty has teased a collaboration with Carti, posting a picture of a double-stacked cup on top of an opium briefcase. If true, it would be their first collab. In 2018, Carti featured on Yachty’s “Get Dripped”. Then, in 2020, Yachty, along with Future, featured on Carti’s “Flex Up”. However, there is no word on the nature of collab at this time.

Fans were understandably stoked for the collab. “I mean they already got bangers so thats a no brainer,” one fan noted. “Bro that’s literally the nicest duo we didn’t know we needed 💯💯,” gushed another. “Well ofc !! That would be the smartest thing to do especially if they ain’t beefin,” reasoned a third. However, not everyone was stoked for the potential collab. Are you excited for another Yachty/Carti collab? Let us know in the comments.

The Extremely Clean Kidz Bop Version Of Lil Nas X’s ‘Montero’ Is As Ridiculous As You’d Expect

by

This year, Kidz Bop celebrated its 20th anniversary, meaning they’ve been making family-friend covers of the most popular pop songs for two decades. They’ve tried hard to spin some raunchy lyrics into kid-friendly verses over the years, like when changed Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” to actually be about snakes. But their recent version of Lil Nas X‘s Montero title track perhaps takes the cake for being the most laughable.

The Kidz Bop team got wildly creative when switching up the lyrics to “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” Of course, they couldn’t have 10-year-olds singing Lil Nas X’s lyrics about cocaine and f*cking people out of his league, so they instead swapped out many of the lines.

One of Lil Nas X’s “Montero” lyrics reads, “I wanna sell what you’re buying / I wanna feel on yo’ ass in Hawaii / I want that jet lag from f*cking and flying / Shoot a child in your mouth while I’m riding.” But Kidz Bop’s version is much different: “I wanna sell what you’re buyin’ / I wanna lie on the beach in Hawaii / I want that jet lag from livin’ and flyin’ / Put a smile on your face whilst we’re dining’.”

In fact, the updated version of the song is so ridiculous that Lil Nas X himself was left speechless. The rapper simply posted a screenshot of the chorus of the Kidz Bop song to his Twitter without a caption.
