Justin Timberlake Postponed A Show Due To Injury And Fans Are Fuming

by

Justin Timberlake has seen brighter days. The critical reception to his last album, Everything I Thought It Was, was tepid. The sales? Well, less than he probably thought it would be. Timberlake’s current tour has been defined, however, by the DUI arrest that occurred in July. The fallout from the arrest, and the quote that the singer made about the arrest ruining the tour, added fuel to the fire when it came to him being roasted online. Unfortunately, the bad breaks have continued. Justin Timberlake canceled a show the day it was scheduled, and fans cannot believe it.

Justin Timberlake broke the news on Instagram. The message is vague as to what occurred behind the scenes, but it made it very clear that the singer was “disappointed” with the postponement. “I have an injury that is preventing me from performing,” Timberlake wrote. “I’m so disappointed to not see you all.” He made it clear that he was “working” to reschedule the show, which was going to be in Newark, New Jersey. The pop superstar promised to make it up to the fans. They did not seem to go for it.

Justin Timberlake Promised To Reschedule The Show

The details of Justin Timberlake’s injury have been kept under wraps. TMZ does report, however, that a doctor was present at the venue to examine the singer, and it’s believed that the injury was sustained to his ankle. This is not the first time that Timberlake has had to contend with knee and leg injuries. He was sidelined during the making of the film In Time back in 2011. The singer and sometimes actor was filming a scene in which he had to perform a stunt, and wound up hurting his calf. “Justin Timberlake sustained a muscle injury to his calf on the set,” Fox said in a statement. JT also broke his thumb when he was still in N*SYNC.

Fans have flooded with social media to complain about the timing of Justin Timberlake’s announcement. Many feel the singer should have made the announcement much earlier, since the show was set to begin mere hours before. Many lamented the fact that they were already dressed to go out. Or worse, already in line and waiting to get a good spot at the New Jersey venue. “30 minutes before doors?,” one furious fan noted. Another threw a lyric from one of JT’s biggest songs back in his face: “Cry me a river.” Check out some of the frustrated reactions below.

Tyler, The Creator Cooks Elon Musk By Changing Concert Lyrics: Watch

by

Tyler, The Creator says and does what he wants. He has undergone several phases, in terms of his subject matter and musicality, but the one constant is his irreverent sense of humor. If Tyler, The Creator has a problem with somebody, they are going to know it. Case in point, the rapper’s recent performance at ACL Fest. He performed a version of his classic 2017 song “911/Mr. Lonely,” but instead of referencing Elon Musk in a positive light, as he did on the recording, he flipped the lyrics to diss Musk.

Musk has become persona non grata in popular culture. He’s become one of the most memed and mocked celebrities in the world, and Tyler, The Creator has taken note. The original lyrics on “911/Mr. Lonely” are seemingly indifferent to Musk. The rapper works the Tesla founder into his verse because it worked with the rhyme scheme and the bar about not requiring gas. “Can’t see straight, these shades are Céline Dion,” he raps. “Sucks you can’t gas me up, shout out to Elon… Musk, yeah I got a sold out show. Crowd wild out but don’t matter ’cause you not front row.” Tyler didn’t want it to sound like he shouted out the controversial X (formerly Twitter) owner, though, and made an aggressive change.

Tyler, The Creator Used To Be A Huge Musk Fan

“Man f*ck Elon,” Tyler, The Creator rapped to an ecstatic crowd. The rapper change of heart is not uncommon. Musk used to be a semi-popular figure to praise/reference. In 2016, Tyler even heaped praise on Musk for providing an electric alternative to gas powered vehicles. Ironically, the praise was through the app that Musk would eventually purchase, Twitter. “@elonmusk I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE WORLD,” he wrote. “AND MAKING THE EVIL OIL MEN WHO RUN THE WORLD HATE YOU.” Tyler truly adored Musk during the mid-2010s, and would even have exchanges with the inventor on the platform.

Tyler also praised Musk during a 2015 appearance on Hot 97. The rapper was there to promote his album, Cherry Bomb, but he went off book and decided to shine a light on Musk’s achievements. He even compared the Tesla founder to rap moguls like JAY-Z, Master P and Diddy. The last one has not aged well, from any conceivable angle, but it’s hard to hold Tyler, The Creator accountable for that. He could not have known how the last decade was going to play out. A lot of people have seemingly fallen out of love with Musk, and Tyler is at the top of the list.

The Game in Jeopardy of Losing Home Due to $7 Million Civil Judgement

Here’s something to know. The Game is facing the potential loss of his Calabasas home after missing a critical court hearing related to a long-standing debt owed to Priscilla Rainey, who accused him of sexual battery.

According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, the rapper failed to attend the October 7th hearing, where he was expected to present reasons why his property should not be sold to settle the judgment. The court remarked, “The judgment debtor failed to appear or alert the court of the non-appearance,” and a decision regarding possible sanctions is expected to be issued this week.

Rainey, a former contestant on The Game’s VH1 dating show She’s Got Game, filed a lawsuit in 2015, accusing the rapper of sexual battery in an off-camera incident. In 2016, she was awarded approximately $7 million in damages. However, collecting the judgment has proven difficult, and Rainey has continued to take legal steps to recover the amount owed.

Here’s what his response was to the allegations … The Game previously posted on Instagram, claiming, “Don’t be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines cause I put that on my favorite aunties poodle this broad ain’t gettin s###!” He also stated that other contestants on the show could testify that he never touched Rainey and implied that her lawsuit was an attempt to retaliate after being eliminated from the competition.

As expected Rainey is using the power of the court to seek assistance in forcing The Game to sell his home to cover the judgment. She has even hired a private investigator to track him down, showing her commitment to securing the nearly $7 million judgment. Despite this, The Game has largely ignored the ongoing legal proceedings, leaving Rainey to continue her pursuit through the courts.

Drake’s Impressive Streak Ends After Completely Falling Off The Billboard Hot 100 Chart

by

In the modern era, there aren’t many more musical artists quite like Drake. The Canadian native is a titan when it comes to performing on the charts. You can argue the quality of his music over the last several years has dropped. But overall, no matter how some may feel, the guy is almost always near the top of the heap and that goes for any genre. All you have to do is go back to yesterday when it was reported that he was the top streaming rapper for September on Spotify, keeping his streak of pulling in the most for every month in 2024 alive.

However, there may be a chance that he loses that incredible run. There are a lot of rappers that could knock him of the pedestal. After all, all good things come to end. Unfortunately, that has actually come to fruition as of today for one of Drake’s spectacular stats/runs. According to Rap TV, with this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart update, The Boy is no longer on the list in any capacity.

Obviously, in this case, that means no singles nor features. It’s extra saddening for him because he’s been on the Hot 100 every week since April 2022. This could be looked at in a multitude of ways. Of course, with the recent end to the Kendrick Lamar feud, some are going to point to people seeing him differently after some of things that were laid out in the disses. Another viewpoint would be that the lack of quality (which we mentioned earlier) could be factoring in enough for a lot of hip-hop fans. Furthermore, there’s also the fact that he has not been dropping a ton outside of the beef.

What are your thoughts on Drake not having a single or a feature on the Billboard Hot 100 anymore? Do you think this has to do more with his quality dropping off, or because of Kendrick Lamar? Will he ever have that long of a streak again? When will he return to the chart? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
