  • Drake reveals this 'Views' track was about Serena Williams

    Among the many new things we’ve learned about Drake due to the 100gigs of data he dropped on the internet, one new fact is that his 2016 Views track “Too Good” is all about tennis superstar Serena Williams . Revealing as much in one of those never before seen, recently released videos . Listen to  Drake Radio  and more on the free Audacy app In the clip, Drizzy is seen showing is mom Sandi Graham some of the new music he’d been working on at the time, 2016, as the Rihanna assisted track played. "I get heavy on a couple joints, but this is more about me and Serena," Drake tells his mom. "I gathered that," Sandi responds, which got a chuckle from Drake. Honestly, not a far conclusion to come to if you keep up with the intricate goings-on of Drake’s ever-evolving love life. "It's funny because when I make songs about women, I also make songs for them,” Drake continued. “So, I know what kind of song... If I'm gonna talk about them, I can at least do them the justice of making a song they like. I know Serena very well and I know that she'll hear it loud and clear. But she'll also not hate me for it because it's light-hearted.” "Look, I don't know how to talk to you / I don't know how to ask you if you're OK / My friends always feel the need to tell me things / Seems like they're just happier than us these days, yeah," Drake sing-raps on the track. "These days, I don't know how to talk to you / I don't know how to be there when you need me /It feels like the only time you see me / Is when you turn your head to the side and look at me differently, yeah.” When the song first dropped, fans speculated as to which of Drake’s flings the song could be about. Rihanna was a top contender, considering her and Drake dated in the past and she is featured on the song, but alas, nearly a decade later, we finally know, the track was inspired by Serena . Drake and Serena dating rumors started swirling as early as 2011, when he began attending her tennis matches. Then the following year, Drake and Common got into a widely publicized beef over both rappers' love for the tennis star. Jump to 2015, Drake and Serena were  caught canoodling by the paps, but by 2017 their romance appeared to be over. Which checks out on account of those “Too Good” lyrics, not to mention the fact that she had married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian . That being said, because he’s Drake, in 2022, Drizzy felt the need to name-drop his former flame and her husband on the  Her Loss  track, "Middle of the Ocean.” “I swear you don't even mean what y'all say like y'all dubbin' a movie / Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie," Drake raps on the song. "He claim we don't got a problem, but / No, boo, it is like you comin' for sushi / We might pop up on ’em at will like Suzuki.” For his response Alexis rose above, taking to X to write, "The reason I stay winning is because I'm relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do—including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.” Anyway… Watch Drake reveal "Too Good" is about Serena Williams to his mama above, and listen to the 2016 track below.

  • Ms. Lauryn Hill and Fugees cancel US tour days before start

    Just days before it was set to kick off, Lauryn Hill  has quietly canceled the U.S. leg of her co-headlining tour with the  Fugees . Listen to  The 90s Radio  and more on the free Audacy app After initially extending the tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of her iconic album  The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which was scheduled to start on Friday, August 9 in Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, August 7 ticket-holders received notification that the tour had been canceled and refunds would be issued. It's a place hopeful Hill concertgoers have found themselves before, when she previously called off her 2023 tour due to “serious vocal strain.” And same for Fugees fans in 2021, when their reunion tour was postponed and finally canceled in 2022 due to COVID concerns. "Last year, I faced an injury that necessitated the rescheduling of some of my shows. Regrettably, some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour," Hill shared in a lengthy statement on Instagram. "The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal." "Performing for my fans, is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am." While all U.S. dates have been subsequently removed from Ticketmaster, it seems the European leg is still slated to go down as scheduled. "The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performance yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years!" Hill continued. "Know that I am not only grateful for those who appreciate and support my art, but that I FIGHT and push through all kinds of resistance to put together experiences that mean something for all of us. I love being able to bring these performances to you!" Check out the full statement above and the updated schedule below, with all now canceled U.S. dates crossed out. Ms. Lauryn Hill 2024 Updated Tour Dates: 10/07 – Dublin, IE @ 3Arena 10/09 – Cardiff, UK @ Utilita Arena Cardiff 10/12 – Manchester, UK @ Co-op Live 10/14 – London, UK @ The O2 10/16 – Cologne, DE @ Lanxess Arena 10/18 – Paris, FR @ Accor Arena 10/19 – Paris, FR @ Accor Arena 10/22 – Amsterdam, NL @ Ziggo Dome 10/23 – Antwerp, BE @ Sportpaleis 10/26 – Stockholm, SE @ Tele2 Arena 10/30 – Berlin, DE @ Uber Arena 11/07 – Hamburg, DE @ Barclays Arena

  • Rihanna returns to Barbados for Crop Over Festival in bedazzled costume, crown, wings, and not much else

    It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen Rihanna drop down at Crop Over Festival in her home of Barbados. Making her return to the annual harvest festival this weekend, RiRi came dressed to impress, but did we expect anything less? Listen to  Rihanna Radio  and more on the free Audacy app Real ones know, this is not Rihanna 's first rodeo Carnival. The undisputed queen of Barbados’ biggest festival, has attended the annual Kadooment Day parade since the early aughts, using her appearances to showcase various designers' daring creations. This year, RiRi teamed up with Lauren Austin Designs, a designer she’s worked with in the past for 2017’s stunning crystal bralette and matching epaulets, that just like this year’s costume, left little to the imagination. In 2019, the last time RiRi attended Crop Over, she switched things up, going with a body obscuring pink mini dress by Dutch designer David LaPort, embellished with pink marabou feathers. This year, swapping out her recently frequent over-sized sporty looks, Rihanna strutted through the parade in a brown and gold bedazzled costume, featuring bejeweled strips snaking up from her ankles to her shoulders, making sure to cover up the essential bits. RiRi accented the traditional carnival ensemble with a matching headpiece and gorgeous orange, pink and neutral colored feathered wings. Making it officially official, the queen of Crop Over is back. Check out pics of this years incredible ensemble below, and previous showstopper costumes above.

  • SZA inspired by Chappell Roan, but also ready to take a break from the stage

    Following her headlining performance at Lollapalooza Day 2, SZA took a moment to spotlight the Chicago festival’s MVP of 2024 — Chappell Roan . Listen to  SZA Radio  and more on the free Audacy app “She makes me wanna keep making new music n art forever,” SZA wrote over Chappell’s  post  of the Midwest Princess performing “Femininomenon.” Perfectly on brand for the rising popstar who garnered one of the biggest, if not the biggest crowd the annual festival has ever seen… and doing so not even being a headliner. Despite the inspiration, just one day later, after closing out her headlining set at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival on August 5, SZA revealed she’d be taking a break from stage life for the foreseeable future. Taking to X to make the announcement, SZA wrote,“Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally bout to get my life together thank u God.” The unexpected, yet also unsurprising news comes after SZA’s extensive run of 63 SOS Tour dates all across the globe starting in early 2023, followed by a packed summer festival schedule. That being said, while SZA did admit she’d be stepping back from the stage, new music is still headed our way, as SZA debuted an unreleased track titled “Cry Baby,” during her Lollapalooza set, telling the crowd, “It’s not out, but it will be.” Not to mention she’s been teasing her new project Lana , for a hot minute now. An album that started out as being the deluxe edition of SOS with a few unreleased tracks, but after a few leaks, is now going to be a new stand alone album with “music no one’s ever heard before.”

I know all you girls are outside. When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you.” Check out Drake’s announcement below

I had no true sense of self,” Khalid admitted. “I was writing not even from my experiences. I feel like this album is exactly that. I took it back to basics and I approached it as if I was debuting as an artist all over again. It’s like I’m coming right back to the start of my journey but this time with more insight and knowledge.” Listen to the entire album below. Related:

    During a recent chat with Audacy Atlanta V-103’s Danie B , Nick Cannon opened up about his struggles with Lupus, detailing his experience with the illness and how he manages to live with it in his everyday life. LISTEN NOW: Danie B Interview With Nick Cannon Cannon was helping out the Social Butterflies Foundation at V-103’s Summer School Volume 1 day party, with the aim of raising $3000 for the organization that helps Lupus warriors with anything from getting fitted for wigs, to getting access to medication and more. Being such a vocal public figure when it comes to Lupus, Danie B expressed her delight to be chatting with Nick , noting “it really means a lot that you took the time to stop and educate us a little bit today.” “It sounds like it's a beautiful event that's going down this weekend, so I commend it and salute everybody that's involved with it,” Nick expressed. Before going on to elaborate on the disease, and his personal struggles with it. “Lupus is an autoimmune condition that I was diagnosed with in 2012. It could attack any part of your body, it’s where your immune system is a little out of whack. Mine specifically, it goes for my kidneys and sometimes my skin. But I know other people, it can go to their heart.” Nick went on to reveal, “it actually affected my heart when I first got it in 2012 and I had like pulmonary embolisms that got real serious. So it's one of those things that you can definitely live with, but it also can be something that can be quite serious.” Cannon continued to elaborate, pointing out that while some “people don’t notice” a person struggling with Lupus, it can be “difficult to get out of bed,” due to suffering from “inflammation and… fatigue.” “So, you just gotta look out for those Lupus warriors and really give them some strong prayers and support because you never know what they're going through.” Staying booked and busy, Nick proves his point, that Lupus is a disease one can live with. From his various business endeavors, to Wild N Out and hosting The Masked Singer , Cannon talked about how staying busy helps. "That’s how I fight my lupus… I just stay busy. I mean, once I can get out that bed, I see it as a blessing. I'm gonna get the most out of today because I remember those days where it wasn't even a possibility for me to get out. And sometimes those days happen, you know, every once in a while, but it keeps my health in check.” Another “thing about lupus,” Nick added, “is that you gotta make sure you're eating right. You gotta make sure you're staying hydrated. You gotta make sure you're doing everything that the doctors or the holistic individuals that are helping you out are telling you, because if you stick to a regiment, you can keep all those flare ups away.” For Nick, it’s important to continuously shine a light on Lupus, so Lupus warriors out there feel like they're not alone, as helps others understand about what this disease is. Speaking to the importance of being vocal, Nick said, “It definitely affects our community specifically... a lot of cases with Black women. So we want to continue to create the awareness so we can find a cure. And just send some love and support to all my fellow lupus warriors out there.” To hear it all, listen to the entire conversation above.
