Lil Woody‘s run as the star witness of the YSL RICO trial came to an end as he was called to the stand yesterday (Sept. 3) for the last time.

While on the stand, the prosecution asked Woody (born Kenneth Copeland) about Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan‘s relationship. “Yes, no, I don’t recall. Did Thug have an issue with Rich Homie Quan bringing members of If Gang to his apartment?,” the prosecution asked. Instead of answering the question, Woody thought it was a good idea to ask Thug the same question again. “Thug, did you have an issue with Rich Homie… , ” he asked before being cut off. This exchange prompted the entire courtroom to let out a few laughs, Thug included.

Woody had previously admitted to shooting up Rich Homie Quan’s father’s barbershop located in the Atlanta’s Bankhead neighborhood. That clip, of course, went viral because before confessing on the stand, he turned to the judge and asked, “Your honor, you said nothing I say can be used against me?” After the judge confirmed this, “Me and Threat shot up Rich Homie Quan daddy barbershop on Bankhead,” he told prosecutors. “I don’t what know what happened with Threat and Rich Homie Quan, but I’ma ride with my brother and they was beefin’ and yeah, we pulled up and did that.”

Prosecutors had hoped the former YSL member would help them make these RICO charges stick, however, his testimony has turned an already tumultuous trial into even more of a circus. The prosecution tried to ask him again if YSL was a gang to which Woody replied, “And it still ain’t a gang.”

Keep it locked here as this case as the longest trial in Georgia history continues to drag along.

As Adele prepares for her final concert before stepping away from the spotlight for a “long time”, ticket prices have soared to record highs.

The British singer, known for her record-breaking hits like “Someone Like You” and “Hello,” recently announced that her last performance will take place on Nov. 23 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, marking the end of her Weekends With Adele residency and the beginning of an indefinite hiatus.

Originally, tickets for the show ranged from $400 for regular admission to $1,000 for VIP passes. However, the demand has skyrocketed, with last-minute resale platforms such as Viagogo and Gametime reporting prices as high as $17,050 and $18,766, respectively, for top-tier seats.

During her final Aug. 31 performance of a 10-show residency in Munich, Adele told fans, “I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now.”

“I want to live my life that I’ve been building and I will miss you terribly.”

She reiterated her decision to step back from music, stating that she has no current plans for a new album. This follows her most recent album 30, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021 and featured the chart-topping single “Easy on Me.”

Adele’s Munich residency also saw emotional highlights, including a rare performance of “Chasing Pavements“—her 2008 breakout hit that earned her two Grammy Awards in 2009 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best New Artist.

Throughout the residency, Adele also confirmed her engagement to Rich Paul on stage and praised rising star Chappell Roan, calling her “spectacular.”

As her Las Vegas residency comes to an end, the Nov. 23 concert is shaping up to be a historic event, with fans scrambling for tickets and prices reaching unprecedented levels. Many are willing to pay top dollar to witness Adele live, whose career highlights include three consecutive Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, before she takes her much-needed break.

As the self-proclaimed Hot Girl Coach, Megan Thee Stallion is ready to see a strong Black woman take the wheel as President of the United States.

And in her cover story with Billboard published Wednesday (Sept. 4), the 29-year-old rapper emphasizes that people need to get out and vote in order for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to make it happen. “I don’t like it when I see people saying, ‘I’m not voting. F–k it,’” Meg shares with Billboard‘s Carl Lamarre. “What the f–k are you talking about? You’re going to complain about what you don’t like but you’re not going to help the cause?”

“I think that’s very irresponsible because if you don’t like what Trump has going on, why even aid in him being the president again?” she adds.

The Grammy winner has been one of the most vocal musicians supporting Harris’ campaign against Republican nominee Donald Trump, performing at the the Democrat’s July rally in Atlanta and posting TikTok videos with her afterward. Later, during her headlining set at Lollapalooza in August, Meg hyped up Harris on stage. “Kamala said she wants a ceasefire,” she told her crowd. “Kamala said she supports women’s rights. And she said she’s tired of those high-ass gas prices … It’s Hotties for Harris, goddammit!”

While speaking to Billboard, the Houston Hottie also opens up about feeling inspired by the possibility of Harris becoming the first woman and second Black person — after Barack Obama — to ever be elected POTUS. “To be alive in a lifetime where a Black woman or a woman at all could be the president, I feel so blessed,” she says. This is what the future is about. We really about to get a strong, Black female in there. I feel like America needed a woman to come in here and put a woman’s touch on it.”

“It’s been going a little crazy lately, and we need somebody to put their foot down,” she adds. “I feel like Kamala, she gon’ do that.”

On Monday, September 2, the National Football League posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate the new season starting in a few days with the Kansas City Chiefs playing the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, September 5.

“FOOTBALL IS BACK THIS WEEK,” the organization captioned the post as they showed various clips from the previous season, separating them by month. However, in addition to the teams running across the field or celebrating touchdowns with special dances or backflips, the Grammy winner was also shown more than once.

At the two-second mark in the clip during September 2023, Swift is seen in the audience cheering on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. At another point in the September portion, the singer is shown again laughing alongside Travis’s mother Donna Kelce.

The “Cruel Summer” singer makes a third appearance in the video in January 2024, where she is seen walking to her seat while decked out in Chiefs-themed attire. The singer is shown a fourth time, also in January, as she kisses Travis to celebrate his team earning a spot in the Super Bowl.

The last time Swift appears is during the big game itself, where she is seen chugging her drink on the Jumbotron. Being shown in the video a total of five times marks more than any other player.

After posting, many people were quick to turn to the comments pointing out the many appearances of the “Karma” singer.

“STOP SHOWING TAYLOR SWIFT WE DON’T CARE,” one comment read while another agreed, writing, “Taylor Swift was shown 5 times in this 28-second clip of football being back.”

Other commenters were joking about how upset some football fans get over Swift’s amplified presence and claims that it takes away from the sport.

“Swift is in the hype video don’t be mad guys,” one commenter sarcastically wrote.

Another commenter joked, “Aka grown men are gonna cry seeing Taylor this week.”

In light of the start of football season, Swift has begun to prepare herself for the new season by coming up with plays for the team. In a recent interview with NFL on NBC, quarterback Patrick Mahomes explained how much the “All Too Well” singer wants to learn about her boyfriend’s interests.

“She’s the most famous person in the world, and then she’s really interested in football,” the said. “She asked a lot of great questions. She’s already drawing up plays, so we might have to put one in.”

When talking about the singer during a previous interview with Time, Mahomes also revealed that he has “met a lot of famous people” but the multiple Grammy winner is “probably the most down-to-earth” of them all.

“She’s never not working,” he told the outlet. “Even when she’s taking her downtime, she’s working on something. Shooting a music video or singing a song or writing a song. You can see it by how she talks.”

He added: “Even when she’s talking about football, when she’s learning it, you can see her business mind putting it together. It’s almost like she’s trying to become a coach. ‘Why can’t you try this, this, and this?’ She’s asking the right questions.”

The song, “Hero”, was first released in May but Trump, and co-singer Madeline Jaymes, only released the music video late last month. It features moody shots of Trump and Jaymes singing in a music studio and, at times, also on a fire escape. The video is cut with a photo montage of real firefighters, and what seems to be staged footage of firefighters rescuing people. It’s unclear when Trump filmed the music video (the earliest sneak peek was posted in July.)

The duo makes a heartfelt tribute to firefighters, over some heavy autotune. “You’re going through the fire, and the flames getting higher. You’re my hero. You’re my hero,” they sing.

“You’re climbing up the ladder and the screams getting louder. You’re my hero. You’re my hero.”

Despite the emotional lyrics, some on social media appeared to find Trump’s voice distracting. On YouTube, the top comments were less than complimentary.

“Someone who cares about Lara needs to be honest and tell her she can’t sing,” one person wrote.

“After hearing this, I miss Yoko Ono,” another person commented.

On Instagram, a commenter called out Trump for being “the rich adult version” of “kids who got participation trophies.”

“Guys, I’m starting to think Lara Trump has a “music career” only because her last name is Trump,” an X user joked.

Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, has been releasing music for nearly a year now, starting with her infamous rendition of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”.

Since then, she has released two original songs, “Hero” and “Anything is Possible”.

In between her musical releases, Trump has been busy with her political career. Earlier this year, she was tapped to co-chair the RNC with former North Carolina Republican Party chair Michael Whatley. That was thanks to an influential endorsement from her father-in-law, the Republican Party nominee for president.

During her RNC acceptance speech, Trump promised to “work hard” to get her father-in-law re-elected and promised to spend “every single penny” toward getting him back in the White House.

For the first half of the year, polling showed the former president ahead of President Joe Biden in most swing states. But since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Biden on the Democratic ticket, the race is closer than ever.

Within Linkin Park rumored to be on the look out for a new female frontwoman, Lzzy Hale appears to have put in an application.

Or she’s at least sending the band some love. The star, who is lead vocals for rock band Halestorm, posted a cover of the band’s classic song, Crawling, on Instagram as rumors that a reunion is on the horizon.

The loss of lead singer Chester Bennington to suicide led Linkin Park to hit pause on their musical journey, creating a significant void. However, intrigue spiked when the band showcased a mysterious countdown online, set to expire on Wednesday. If the band does reunite, they’ll be tasked with finding a replacement for a late Chester and it might just be a woman stepping into the role.

The whispers of a reunion were sparked by comments from Orgy’s Jay Gordon (who later retracted his words) in an interview with Wired In The Empire, where he mentioned Linkin Park was “still going for it” despite the loss of Chester Bennington. Gordon hinted: “It’s going to be tough without Chester, but we’ll see. I hear they got a girl singer now. That’s what I heard.”

A source confirmed the news to Billboard as they indicated that the band’s booking agency was looking into potential gigs for the group. While the rumblings about a female singer are intensifying, news on who might have landed the role isn’t yet confirmed.

Fans are thrilled by the thought of Lzzy taking the stage alongside Linkin Park. “Lzzy is there anything you’d like to tell us…..???” asked one fan in the comment section. Another wrote: “No way. This would be so legendary.”

A third fan speculated: “Timing on this… maybe the LP announcement is an album with guest artists covering Chester’s parts. I hope I’m right. This is so beautiful

In an anticlimactic twist, upon reaching zero, the timer started counting up again, casting fans into a state of bewildered disappointment. Fans will need to wait a bit longer to find out what’s in store, including if Lzzy might be taking on this new challenge with the band.

Another woman’s name was circulating as a prospective singer. Amy Lee of Evanescence dismissed rumors regarding her involvement during a chat with iHeartRadio Canada, though she did express an openness to the idea, saying: “But that’s awesome. They should ask me about that. I don’t have a ton of free time, but I might do it part-time.”

She told The Independent: “From my understanding it was part of filming planned for tomorrow.

“I didn’t see it but heard a loud bang and went outside to see the fire.”

She added: “We were told it would happen last week, but clearly they forgot to inform the people on the side of the explosion of its postponement and fire services, because they sent so many trucks. Our buildings vibrated.”

A total of 25 firefighters tackled the blaze and it was under control by 9.02pm.

No injuries were reported.

LFB posted on X on Saturday evening saying: “The fire at an open air yard in #Silvertown is now under control.

“One van was destroyed by the fire and most of a car and lorry were damaged by the fire. There are currently no reports of any injuries.”

It added: “The fire in #Silvertown followed a controlled explosion at a film set which spread out of control. Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the fire, which is now under control.

“Crews will remain on scene for the remainder of the evening.”
