People are not impressed with reggaeton singer Nfasis after he chose to wear casual attire to his own wedding this week, posting pictures of himself kissing the bride in a see-through t-shirt, a white tank top, and a pair of distressed shorts. While the look would definitely have been a choice out on the street, fans are roasting the singer for putting such little thought into his wedding attire after his wife arrived in such a gorgeous dress.
The pictures are going viral with many claiming that they would not be okay with the groom showing up dressed like this. Nfasis posted the pictures two days ago, telling fans that his daughters, family, and friends were at the ceremony.
“I think there are moments for everything and out of respect for her, who was very pretty in her dress, you should have respected the etiquette and protocol,” said one of the singer’s fans in a comment translated from Spanish. Another fan pointed out that he’s allowed to dress however he wants to his wedding but that he should be open to criticism. “It is his life and it is useless to comment but if he publishes his love life he has to accept criticism. It is disrespectful and clownish to be dressed like this to your wedding,” they said.
In a few years, Nfasis will surely be looking back on this day with great pride… What do you think about his wedding attire? Was it inappropriate or is he allowed to do whatever he wants?
Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have certainly worked wonders as allies, having built their Verzuz venture into a veritable empire. Yet it should never be forgotten that these are hip-hop legends, and as such, a little bit of healthy competition should be expected. Having previously announced that a Verzuz rematch would be taking place on Memorial Day weekend, the two producers confirmed that they themselves would be stepping up to do battle once again.
This Sunday, May 30th, Swizzy and Timbaland will go head to head in a live battle at LIV nightclub in Miami, with the event taking place at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. Should you be interested in checking it out, you can watch on Triller, the Fite APP, and via the Verzuz Instagram page.

It’s unclear as to whether or not songs from their previous battle will be off-limits, but given the depth of their respective catalogs, the pair will have no shortage of material to draw from. And unlike their previous match-up, which took place at the onset of the Verzuz movement, this one will take place face-to-face, which will bring a new dynamic into the fold. Not to mention the fact that both producers will likely be sporting a few new weapons, with Swizzy’s upcoming placements on DMX’s Exodus and Timbo’s recent work on J. Cole’s The Off-Season.
Check out the details below, and be sure to sound off with your predictions for the upcoming Verzuz rematch. All things considered, which producer will walk away with the crown — Swizz Beatz or Timbo The King?
This weekend, after Durk spoke out with a message about “sliding for ya mans” and “kicking killer shit,” 6ix9ine felt like it was the perfect opportunity to troll him in the comments, breathing down his neck once again.
“Ya don’t slide for ya mans don’t kick no killer shit our way n***as bitches fr… the evil side… talk up,” wrote Durkio on Instagram, seemingly tempting his opps into running up.
“Am I the only one who read this and said he’s talking about himself,” wrote back 6ix9ine, joking about Durk talking a big game while not necessarily walking the walk… according to his own accord. In the comments, many people are agreeing with 6ix9ine. “Bro dissing himself,” reads one of the top replies. “He ain’t slid for VON,” responded somebody else.
Fayetteville, North Carolina has long been renowned as the birthplace of superstar J. Cole but lately, a new rapper from the ‘Ville has been gaining steam as a star on the rise. Morray even recently appeared on Cole’s new album The Off-Season, providing a symbolic passing of the torch for the new Southern rap hero.
Capitalizing on the renewed attention, Morray returned to the promotion of his own debut mixtape Street Sermons, following up the video for “Trenches” with a new clip for “Nothing Now.” A heartbreak anthem that finds Morray coaching himself out of his regrets — the sort of negging pep talk many of us have given ourselves at some point or another — “Nothing Now” arrives with a video depicting the aftermath of the relationship’s breakdown, packing up his car, and driving off through the night to relocate, leaving his ex-lady behind to pick up the pieces.
Morray’s increased buzz hasn’t only put him on J. Cole’s radar. Before his surprise appearance on Cole’s new album, the North Carolina native also made his television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! performing his breakout single “Quicksand.”
Watch Morray’s “Nothing Now” video above.
Street Sermons is out now via Pick Six Records/Interscope Records. Get it here.
In 2020, Primavera Sound was forced to cancel. The Spanish festival faced the same fate this year as well. Organizers are getting ready for 2022 in a big way, though: They unveiled the lineup for the massive 2022 event today, which takes place over the weekends of June 2 to 4 and June 9 to 11, along with some ancillary performances from June 5 to 8 and on June 12.
The lineup is stacked, but fans seemed most excited about the inclusion of Lorde, as she became a trending topic on Twitter this morning following the lineup reveal.

Alongside Lorde, headliners include Massive Attack, Pavement, Tame Impala, Beck, The National, The Strokes, Gorillaz, Jorja Smith, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Tyler The Creator, Disclosure, Interpol, Jamie xx, Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The rest of the poster has too many artists to list, but some of the others include Charli XCX, 100 Gecs, Brockhampton, Big Thief, Jay Electronica, Brittany Howard, Clairo, Run The Jewels, and Slowthai.
Tickets go on sale on June 1, so learn more about tickets and the 2022 festival here.

Collaborative albums are generally exciting upon announcement, though whether or not they live up to the hype is another story altogether. Ever since Lil Baby and Lil Durk announced that they would be joining forces with their own upcoming joint effort Voice Of Heroes, many have been cautiously optimistic about how the project will turn out.
With the album officially slated for release on June 4th, Lil Baby took to Instagram to build up a little bit of hype, switching things up by spotlighting one of the tracks that didn’t ultimately make the final cut. The implication of course being that those that did end up on Voice Of Heroes will be of the highest quality, as this untitled track has already started to gain acclaim from fans.

“This one of the ones that didn’t make it,” captions Baby, alongside a clip of him and Durk previewing their handiwork in the studio. As for the song itself, it’s unsurprisingly melodic, with Baby setting things off over the melancholic instrumental. “This lil bitch say that she through with me and this her last time,” he raps. “Got an older chick she love to suck the dick, give great advice / she start licking me in the car and she blame it on the ice / could have been rich a long time ago, I blame it on the dice.”
Check out the snippet below, and while this one might not make the final cut of Voice Of Heroes, don’t be surprised to see it surface by some other means — perhaps even on the inevitable Deluxe Edition. Are you excited to hear Baby and Durk’s collaboration album?
The 2021 Billboard Music Awards took place over the weekend. Of the many notable moments from the show, The Weeknd led the nominations with 16 and walked away with ten BBMAs. Drake was awarded the Artist of the Decade Award at the show also, while Pop Smoke posthumously won a few of his own, including the award for Top 200 Album.
Other famous names that attended the festivities include Lil Baby, who presented the award for Top Hot 100 song. He shared a promotional video announcing the news, which caught many fans off-guard. The wholesome footage led to fans trolling the rapper on social media.

Ahead of the ceremony, Baby took to Instagram to tell fans he would be presenting the award. While a simple message, fans couldn’t help but notice his usual Atlanta accent was heavily masked to deliver the message. “What’s up! It’s Lil Baby here,” began the rapper in the promo.
He continued, “Tune in to the Billboard Music Awards to see me present the award for Top Hot 100 song presented by Rockstar Energy. See you there,” he finished before throwing up a peace sign.
Many pointed out how this was a rare and pure portrayal of the trap star, while some clowned him for the wholesome code-switching. “They done gentrified Lil Baby,” said one user.
