Brandy and Monica Feature In Surprise Remix Of Ariana Grande’s The Boy Is Mine

Brandy and Monica have surprised fans with their iconic hit “The Boy Is Mine” by hopping on the official remix of Ariana Grande‘s rendition of the 1998 song. Released on Friday (June 21), the song hears the two legendary singers add their vocals to a track they’d previously reunited over to support in the music video.

Ariana Grande

 

The visual opens with the two icons taking on the roles of news anchors prefacing a speech by disheveled mayor Max Starling, played by Penn Badgley.

Listen to the official remix below.

Earlier this year, Monica told Ray J to stop talking about a potential tour featuring her and his sister Brandy.

During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the “Sexy Can I” hitmaker expanded on the idea of a concert series by the two R&B stars. He originally sparked the conversation in the comments of an Instagram Live by Monica.

“I’ve been repeatedly contacted about interviews etc. where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed,” she subsequently wrote in a lengthy social-media post. “I’ve not received any contracts or calls about the said tour. @rayj I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking to me in public! A private conversation would both be necessary and respectful! Brandy is a LEGEND! She’s one with an extensive back catalog that I deeply respect & a voice sent from heaven.

Ariana Grande

 

“The conversation being had without her and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals who share a massive recording as well as an entire era! Please allow this to remain positive and beautiful! Neither should open, we should give someone else that opportunity and co-headline a massive shared stage if this is to ever happen. Any further convo should be private!”

She later added: “I get it, I will forever be the ‘bad guy’ in this situation and no one will EVER pay attention or read/ listen to understand !!! I have no issues with anyone but it’s not real unless there’s a deal!!! There’s no 100 million. No contract.

Ariana Grande

 

“Media outlets calling for comments about an imaginary tour & this unfairly spikes the excitement of our supporters and the insinuation that the hold up of said (imaginary) deal taking place is ME! The breakfast club interview is the first I’ve acknowledged of the antics! We both deserve the respect of real business being done.”

Beyoncé Reflects On Impact Of Cowboy Carter

Beyoncé is reflecting on the impact of her country album Cowboy Carter, following its barrier-breaking success. In a new statement by The Hollywood Reporter published on Friday (June 21), Bey opened up about the No. 1 album that spawned multiple entries on Billboard‘s Hot 100.

Beyonce

 

“When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift,” she said. “But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights, inspiring the world, that is exactly what motivates me.

“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me. Once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, your pain, your growth, and your dreams into your art, it’s impossible to go backward,” she continued. “I’m very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”

Bey concluded: “I’m honored to introduce so many people to the roots of so many genres. I’m so thrilled that my fans trusted me. The music industry gatekeepers are not happy about the idea of bending genres, especially coming from a Black artist and not a woman.”

Beyoncé

 

In May, Beyoncé surpassed a whopping 1 billion streams on Spotify with Cowboy Carter – less than two months after its release.

The album has been a major success since its release in March. According to Billboard, Cowboy Carter debuted atop the Billboard 200 tally with 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week. It was the biggest sales week of 2024 at the time, though Taylor Swift’s latest effort has since one-uped it.

Twenty-three of the album’s 27 songs also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, bringing the Houston native’s career total Billboard Hot 100 songs to 106. She is now just the 17th artist and only the third woman to score over 100 entries since the Hot 100 was launched in 1958.

Beyoncé

 

Former chart-topper “Texas Hold ‘Em” leads the pack at No. 2, followed by “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus at No. 6 and Bey’s cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” at No. 7.

Ten other songs from the album also cracked the Top 50, including the Post Malone collaboration “Levii’s Jeans,” “Bodyguard” and a cover of The Beatles‘ “Blackbird.”

2Pac‘s murder case had an extremely belated big break last year, but the prime suspect will apparently not be held in police custody for much longer. On Friday (June 21), KTNV reported that Keefe D (real name Duane Davis) had gathered the $750,000 required for his bond to be released from jail as he waited for the murder trial to commence in November.

2Pac

 

He will return to court on Tuesday (June 25), which is when Judge Carli Kierny is expected to lay out the terms and conditions of his freedom from the Clark County Detention Center. Additionally, there’s a possibility that he will also be questioned about how he secured the aforementioned funds.

The 61-year-old’s court-appointed attorneys petitioned the court for leniency earlier this year and claimed that his client “poses no danger” due to his deteriorating health.

A similar request was turned down in late 2023 after Davis was deemed “too dangerous” for bail as prosecutors pointed out that he was once a high-ranking member of the South Side Compton Crips. Furthermore, they also emphasized that the California native confessed to the rapper’s murder multiple times in the past.

2Pac

 

The former gang member, who has been diagnosed with cancer, is the only person to ever be charged with Pac’s murder in Las Vegas over two and a half decades ago. Despite pleading not guilty, Keefe D has claimed that he orchestrated the shooting multiple times before, most notably in his 2019 book Compton Street Legend.

“The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified,” Davis’ lawyer argued in his defense. “The book and interviews were done for entertainment purposes and to make money from a situation that [LAPD officers] and others had already profited [from].”

Regarding the night of said shooting, Nevada prosecutors claim the legendary MC was involved in a brawl with the suspect’s late nephew Orlando Anderson, who is believed to have been in the car with Davis during the drive-by attack.

2Pac

 

Tupac Shakur was tragically shot and killed back in 1996 after he attended a Mike Tyson fight. The multidisciplinary artist, who cemented his legacy in less than a decade, was only 25 years old at the time of his untimely passing.

Drake‘s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar has put several people’s loyalty to the test, and the Canadian superstar has now seemingly shaded those who’ve left his side as the conflict persists.

Drake Has Fans Wondering If He’s Taking Shots At Former Friends In Latest Post

Drake‘s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar has put several people’s loyalty to the test, and the Canadian superstar has now seemingly shaded those who’ve left his side as the conflict persists.

Drake

 

On Wednesday (June 19), K. Dot hosted and performed to a sold-out crowd at his “Pop Up” Juneteenth show in Inglewood, California. During his event, the Compton native played a number of his diss tracks aimed at Drizzy, such as “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.”

The set climaxed with him playing “Not Like Us” five times in a row as the crowd sang along to it word for word — among the thousands turning up in the crowd was basketball star LeBron James, who has been a close friend and supporter of the 6 God since the latter broke into the music industry.

Hence, people online now suspect that the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker was throwing shade at the 20-time All-Star when he took to his Instagram Stories soon after the gig. Drake posted a mirror selfie in which he could be seen wearing what appears to be a Cleveland Guardians jersey with the words “Summer League” stamped over the image.

Drake

 

This could potentially be a reference to LeBron’s turbulent relationship with the city of Cleveland, where he played for 11 seasons and even won a championship. His stint with the Cavaliers, however, was not successive as he left after his first seven season to join the Miami Heat back in 2010 — which is still considered one of the most controversial moves in sports history as it cast doubt on his fidelity.

With the official 2023–24 NBA season having wrapped up earlier this week, the Summer League is set to commence next month. Moving forward, it appears that the Toronto native has rethought his allegiances.

Just last year, Drake recalled how much he appreciated King James’ support during his formative years in the rap game.

Prior to his show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last year, he was escorted through the crowd by the four-time league MVP and his son Bronny.

“I don’t know if you saw who walked me to the stage tonight, but the gentleman who walked me to the stage tonight is my brother — he goes by the name of LeBron James,” the Grammy winner told the crowd.

Drake

 

“And in 2009, when nobody believed in anything I had going on, that same guy showed up to a release party for a mixtape that was called So Far Gone.”

Referring to the 39-year-old’s current run with the LA Lakers, he continued: “He came all the way to Toronto, Canada to support me when I was trying to figure out how I would live my dreams. So tonight, however many years later, it’s an honor to be inside his building while we’re both still on this earth. I gotta do this building justice tonight.”

This made for the first-ever platinum record for Depp (who The Weeknd co-starred with in the since-canceled HBO series The Idol), as well as JENNIE.

And what’s more – as of June 2024, the superstar singer is the artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify and has the most streamed song of all time on Spotify with “Blinding Lights.”

In other news, it appears that The Weeknd has a potential new collaboration in the works with Apple, though he didn’t give too many details as to what that would entail.

The Weeknd

 

Taking to his Instagram Stories on June 1, the “I Can’t Feel My Face” singer posted a photo full of framed pictures of the Apple logo on the wall above a white couch, implying that he was at the company’s headquarters.

His caption only shared three emojis — the googly-eyed emoji, the musical notes emoji, and the film camera emoji — all of which suggested that he’d be recording and taping a new music performance.

However, that has not been confirmed. Late last month, The Weeknd shared another social media post that had fans speculating about the “end” of his career.

On May 24, the singer took to his Instagram Story where he quoted a fan page’s tweet about his live performance of his hit single “Save Your Tears” at the 2021 Billboard Awards. The TV hit saw him walking along a road while singing, as rows of cars came up behind him, parting ways right before they hit him.

“There was a lot of trust with those cars,” read the quote. “He didn’t seem nervous at all, which really weirded us out, because these cars were just barreling by him and he was calm, kept his composure, walked slowly and just didn’t look back. It was kind of amazing.”

The Instagram Story post included a static shot from the performance, as well as the statement, “The end is near.”

Kanye West has addressed his ex-wife Kim Kardashian hiring a “manny” for his son Saint on a Rich the Kid song titled “Gimme a Second 2.” On the track, which arrived on Friday (June 21) and also features West’s Vultures partner Ty Dolla $ign, Yeezy got into his feelings about Kim K bringing a masculine presence into the lives of their children.

“My oldest said, ‘Daddy not going to Heaven’/ Treat me like a deadbeat, said I wasn’t present/ They was tryna treat a king like a peasant/ They bought my son a new dad like it’s no headache/ Don’t give a fuck about shit, I’m irreverent” he raps in his verse.

The “manny” was revealed during the current season of The Kardashians, during which Kim said: “I do think that my household, and even in our family, it’s very female-dominated.”

She added: “I recently hired a Manny. I really wanted a male around that was going to be picking them up and taking them to sports. I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that.”

Kanye West

 

Despite this new figure, Kanye West was nice to Saint’s new babysitter. “When he was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself, played two-on-two with Saint and him, has been so nice to him,” she also said.

“Saying, ‘Hey, if you’re going to help raise my son – because he handed him the ball easily – don’t do that, make him go get it himself. These are some of the rules that I would want.’”

Check out the new song below.

In other Ye news, he popped up at Alexander Wang’s Wangmania wrestling event in Tokyo last week, much to the surprise of the attendees.

Both Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign made a surprise appearance at the event to perform a few songs from their Vultures LP, including hits like “Carnival” and “Talking.” Kanye’s presence has also popped up in places even where he wasn’t there in physical form.

At the post-game celebration for the Boston Celtics after winning the NBA Finals earlier this week, five-time All-Star Jayson Tatum alluded to Ye’s acceptance speech for Best Rap Album (The College Dropout) at the 47th Grammy Awards back in 2005.

“I gained a little weight because I signed my deal when I had just turned 21,” she said. “And I was just having money and living a whole new life. Eating out, y’all know I’m a foodie, so now I have the funds to feed this foodie in me.

“I gained a little weight, and everybody on the internet was calling me bad body and stuff, so I feel like that played a role.”

She added: “I started being a bit insecure about my body. People were saying I’m built weird. I mean, not weird, but it was like, ‘Your white genes.’ And I was just young and impressionable.”

As well as her actual body, Latto’s body count has been the subject of much discussion after she rapped about it in a teaser for a new track.

Previewing a new song on social media, she rapped: “Anyway, body count so low I might say I’m a virgin.” After the lyrics received a great deal of attention from fans, Latto hit back at the talk about her sex life.

Latto

 

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she wrote: “Why are ya’ll in an uproar about my body count & mystery man,” with her later adding: “Ya’ll ain’t gon rain my parade no mo.”

On X, formerly Twitter, Latto also divulged more information about her relationship, writing: “Fun fact my man really is the first and only n-gga I let hit on the first date [cat emoji] & we 4yrs in.”

Latto has never publicly revealed who she’s in a relationship with, but she previously revealed he sends her private jets to pick her up.

Latto

 

“He still sending jets for sum coochie he has been in for 4 years [heart face emoji],” she wrote over an Instagram video of her flying private. “That’s my boo daddy.”

For years, rumors have abounded about the identity of Latto’s man, with many believing him to be fellow rap star 21 Savage after the two got tattoos seemingly dedicated to each other.

She also shared a video from said gathering, which can be viewed below:

This is not the first time Quavo and Harris have met up to tackle the aforementioned issue. In September, Huncho, his mother and TakeOff’s mother visited the White House to meet with the 59-year-old to discuss the worsening issue that ultimately took TakeOff’s life.

“I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times,” Quavo told the AP following the meeting.

Quavo

“You don’t think nothing is going to happen. I need to step up to the plate and hit a home run,” he continued. “I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses — especially in our culture. I don’t want this to happen to the next person. I want to knock down these percentages.

“We need to do better with the control of guns. We need to figure out how do we keep these types of incidents from happening to people going anywhere and thinking they can hurt somebody where it shouldn’t happen.”

After their meeting, Harris took to Instagram to thank the “Walk It Talk It” hitmaker and his family members for coming to the White House.

Quavo

“Thank you @quavohuncho, Edna, and Titania for using your voices to honor TakeOff’s legacy and call for action to prevent gun violence,” she said.

Additionally, Quavo also participated in a panel discussion with Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock, Representative Lucy McBath, and Greg Jackson of the Community Justice Action Fund. The conversation was centered on community intervention tactics, the issue of gun violence itself and the power in advocacy.

Snoop Dogg Crowns Kendrick Lamar King Of The West

Snoop Dogg has officially crowned Kendrick Lamar the ‘King of the West’ following K.dot’s much-talked-about ‘Pop Out’ concert in Los Angeles.

Snoop Dogg

 

The ‘Pop Out’ went down on Juneteenth at The Forum, and in addition to bringing out some of LA’s superstars including Dr. Dre, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Tyler, the Creator, YG, and Roddy Ricch, Kendrick also managed to bring unity as he brought members of the Crips and Bloods together on stage – and Uncle Snoop was more than impressed.

“Sending a big shout out to K.dot and all the homies from the West that stood together unified, organized in peace, love,” Snoop said in a video posted to his Instagram while he was in Toronto. “That was beautiful. That was fun to watch. Beautiful to see all my people come together. And K.dot – you are the King of the West.

“That’s the kind of shit kings do. We unite. We bring our peoples together.”

Despite having orchestrated the peaceful moment, Kendrick Lamar was not shy about how moved he was to see it come together.

As the gig came to a close, he addressed the audience, saying: “This shit making me emotional. We have been fucked up since Nipsey [Hussle] died. We’ve been fucked up since Kobe [Bryant] died. This is unity at its finest.”

He continued: “We done lost a lot of homies to this music shit, to this street shit. For all of us to be together on stage, that shit is special. Everybody on this stage got fallen soldiers.”

Snoop Dogg

 

Fans celebrated the historic moment on X, with one person commenting: “Kendrick really uniting Compton pious and Cali crips on one stage. Memorable Juneteenth already.”

Another said: “Kendrick a legend. He got crips and blood on stage. It’s peaceful. This unity.” One joked: “Kendrick’s hate for Drake really unified the blood and crips.”

As for Snoop Dogg, he became somewhat involved in the beef between Drake and Kendrick after Drizzy used AI to recreate the West Coast legend’s voice along with 2Pac’s for his controversial diss song “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The song was later removed following legal threats from Pac‘s estate.

Snoop Dogg

 

On the track, a computer-generated version of Snoop rapped: “Dot, you know that the D-O-G never fucking doubted you/ But right now it seems like you posted up without a clue of what the fuck you ’bout to do.”

Soon after the song went live, the Long Beach native took to social media and shared a hilarious reaction to his “feature.”

“They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night,” he said in a brief Instagram clip. “Why is everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the fuck— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.”

Snoop Dogg

Some fans thought Snoop later co-signed “Taylor Made Freestyle” when he reposted it on his Instagram Stories along with the caption: “90s Hip Hop Forever.”

Other fans were more skeptical given Snoop’s long history with Kendrick which has featured several collaborations and a performance at the Super Bowl together.
