“I recently said that Tyler, The Creator is my boyfriend, and that’s true, so just so you know,” Jaden said, referring to the proclamation he made earlier this month.
During his set at music festival Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, Jaden yelled into the mic, “I just wanna say that Tyler, The Creator is the best friend in the world, and I love him so f–king much. And I want to tell you guys something. I want to tell you. Tyler doesn’t want to say, but Tyler’s my mother f–king boyfriend, and he’s been my mother f–king boyfriend my whole f–king life.”
“Tyler, the Creator is my f–king boyfriend,” he insisted. “It’s true.”
The camera panned to Tyler, who playfully shook his head and motioned “no” with his finger while laughing.
Beyonce fans thought they were getting an early Christmas gift with some surprise new music, but it turns out … the Queen’s songs were more like classics.
Two albums worth of Beyonce music leaked late Thursday on both Apple and Spotify under the name Queen Carter, sparking a brief online frenzy … until people realized the tracks were old.
The albums — titled “Have Your Way” and “Back Up, Rewind” — contained old demos and previously unreleased tracks by Bey … even strangely including “Hey Goldmember” from the soundtrack for 2002′s “Austin Powers in Goldmember.” All the tracks were removed by midnight.
The leak seems to be the work of hackers, because the same thing happened toan album of her older demos hit streaming services under the name Sister Solana. She said the songs were “random scratches from 2015″ … but not new.
There is some consolation for the Beyhive, though … because the Queen did recently release something new — a photo of her 18-month-old twins, RumiandSir.
The network quietly removed the late King of Pop from the name of its Video Vanguard Award without explanation during Monday’s show.Page Six first reportedlast month that MTV would pull Jackson’s name from the honor due to potential backlash after HBO’s controversial documentary “Leaving Neverland.” The film focuses on sexual abuse allegations against the star.
MTV did include Jackson’s name on a press release sent out to announce rapperMissy Elliottas this year’s Vanguard recipient — but other promos excluded his name. MTV renamed the award for Jackson in 1991.Elliott did mention himduring her acceptance speech, saying, “The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award means so much to me,” before thanking Janet Jackson for her friendship and inspiration. MTV hasn’t commented. Jackson’s estate is suing HBO over the film.
Today would have been Michael Jackson’s 61st birthday.
Meek Millsays a white guy spray painted his grandmother’s Philly home with racist graffiti … and he’s got video of the crime.
The “Championships” rapper tweeted about the incident Tuesday, saying it all went down Monday night. He also posted surveillance footage of the street outside which shows the guy casually tagging the side of a building. It’s hard to make out what he wrote, but Meek says it was a racist remark that referenced white privilege.
He also seems to suggest the tagging is a result of his grandma’s neighborhood becoming gentrified, saying it was a black neighborhood 20 years ago … but no longer.
Meek sends out a clear warning to the perpetrator, calling him a coward … and telling him he better hope Meek and co. don’t catch him on the streets.
A white man sprayed a racial remarks on my Grandmom’s house last night in south philly referencing white Privileged…. the crazy part is this was a all black neighborhood 20 years ago It was gentrified and now this! Just don’t let us catch you coward! T…https://t.co/ieIA61NUyY
Law enforcement sources tell us, although they have not had any official reports filed about the vandalism, they’re aware of the incident. Sources close to Meek, meanwhile, say he’s troubled by the act as his grandmother’s home was one of only a few that were vandalized in the area. No word yet on whether she plans to report it to cops.
The “country-trap” track notched a 17th week at the top of the Hot 100, becoming the chart’s longest-running No. 1 song.
The longest-running No. 1 single in the 61-year history of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart is not by Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson or Madonna.
And no longer is that record held by “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, from 1995, or “Despacito,” the 2017 Latin smash by Luis Fonsi, with Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber — both of which held the top spot for 16 weeks.
The new champion is as much a novelty song as it is a meme and an object lesson in the state of music marketing: Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” which — after its latest blast of remixes and videos — on Monday notched its 17th week atop Billboard’s flagship singles chart.
In its latest week, “Old Town Road” had 72.5 million streams in the United States and was played 7,200 times on the radio, according to Nielsen. Although the song’s lead has been slipping in recent weeks — Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” had 51 million streams last week, and twice as many radio plays as “Old Town Road” — it was enough to lead Lil Nas X to a historic run.
Since it first topped the chart in April, “Old Town Road” has consistently had huge numbers, often with two or three times as many streams as its closest competitor. Along the way it has blocked new songs by chart giants like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Eilish and Shawn Mendes from reaching No. 1.
Though British pop singer-songwriterEllie Gouldingonly just released her new album Delirium in November, the newly announcedCoachella performerhas premiered a cover ofJaheim’s 2001 single“Just In Case.”With the help of producerJordan Evans, Goulding swaddles the update in springy keyboards and her breathy, punctuated vocals. “Just for fun,” she wrote on SoundCloud.
Trump tweeted that during “a very good call” with Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, he also “assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk.” The platinum-selling,Grammy-nominated artist has been in custody since early this month over an alleged fight.
While not an option in Sweden, bail is common in theUnited States. A defendant is allowed to post an amount of money set by the court to guarantee the defendant will appear for trial if he or she is freed pending those proceedings.
Urged on by the first lady and celebrities includingKanye WestandKim Kardashian West, the president had said in a Friday tweet that he would intervene to try to free Rocky, whose real name is Rakim May.
“Our teams will be talking further, and we agreed to speak again in the next 48 hours!” Trump wrote Saturday after speaking with Lofven.
A$AP Rocky
The prime minister’s press secretary, Toni Eriksson, confirmed hours later that Lofven and Trump had a conversation that “was friendly and respectful and lasted about 20 minutes.”
Lofven “made certain to emphasize the complete independence of the Swedish judicial system, prosecutors and courts,” Eriksson said in a statement. “He underlined that in Sweden everyone is equal before the law and that the government cannot and will not attempt to influence the legal proceedings.”
The two leaders may have a follow-up call, “but nothing has been booked or planned,” she said.
Lofven had issued a statement earlier Saturday saying he would be glad to speak with Trump about A$AP Rocky’s detention but giving the same warning about his government’s unwillingness to interfere.
“I understand that President Trump has a personal interest in the case,” the prime minister said before they spoke. “He has expressed the desire for a conversation with me, which is certainly positive.”
Rocky has been behind bars while Swedish police investigate the fight in Stockholm he allegedly was in before appearing at a music festival. Videos published on social media appear to show a person being violently thrown onto the ground by Rocky. A defense lawyer has said it was self-defense.
Other recording artists have spoken on his behalf, including Sean “Diddy” Combs, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Nicki Minaj and Post Malone.

Asked about her own beauty regimen, Lopez responded, “I get that question a lot, especially as I get older. I want [my line] to be something that encompasses all the things I’ve learned and all the secrets I have. And it doesn’t have anything to do with needles.”
