The ruling comes as Combs continues serving his federal sentence. His projected release date was recently pushed back to February 20th, 2028 following a reported fight with another inmate that resulted in him being placed in a Special Housing Unit.

Court allegations state that the producer created at least 13 custom AI voice models, generated more than 400 individual vocal recordings, and used his own voice as source material. He says his work appeared on five tracks from the album.

The producer also claims he began additional AI vocal programming for Bully in October 2024. According to the filing, neither West nor his YZY label paid him for the work or listed him in the production credits on streaming platforms.

The lawsuit seeks at least $110,000 and includes claims of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violations of California labor protections. West previously said Bully did not use AI, though he has openly discussed using the technology during songwriting and recording. His representatives have not publicly responded to the allegations.

Unveiled on August 4, the video follows the song’s live debut during aespa’s appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago. Ty Dolla $ign joined the group onstage for the festival performance before appearing alongside Karina, Giselle, Winter and Ningning in the new visual.

Switchblade is an electronic dance track built around the idea of changing and adapting to different situations. The title serves as a metaphor for flexibility and strength, matching the song’s confident sound and direct lyrics.

The track appears on LEMONADE, aespa’s second full-length studio album. It was originally released as a B-side before receiving its own music video and additional promotion.

The collaboration adds another international artist to aespa’s growing catalog while giving Switchblade a larger spotlight beyond the album. Its release also extends the group’s latest promotional period following their new album and major festival performance.

Photos and video from the event quickly drew attention because fans have spent years comparing the two stars. Social media users have often pointed out their similar facial features, hairstyles and relaxed expressions, turning the resemblance into a steady stream of memes.

The meeting gave both fan communities the moment they had been waiting for. The Backstreet Boys’ official social media account joined the fun, sharing the encounter with a playful reference to the pair’s supposed twin status.

Richardson and Snoop Dogg come from very different corners of music, but both have remained familiar figures in popular culture for decades. Richardson rose to fame as part of one of the biggest pop groups of the 1990s, while Snoop Dogg built a career across hip-hop, television, film and family entertainment.

Their brief red-carpet interaction was simple, lighthearted and perfectly suited to the internet joke that inspired it.

The New York stop highlighted both the scale and personal tone of the tour. The production used large visuals and carefully planned transitions, but Cole remained the clear focus, often addressing the audience directly and letting the crowd carry familiar lyrics.

Songs from The Fall-Off formed the foundation of the show, while tracks such as No Role Modelz, Power Trip, and MIDDLE CHILD gave the arena some of its loudest moments. The setlist also made room for earlier material that helped establish Cole’s reputation as a detailed storyteller and technically skilled rapper.

The concert felt less like a standard album promotion and more like a review of his career. With The Fall-Off presented as his final studio album, the performance carried an added sense of reflection without losing its energy.

Keke Palmer has been selected as the new host for Season 31 of “The Voice.”

Kelly Clarkson was in consideration to replace Daly, but ultimately could not schedule her commitments to make it work, paving the way for Palmer’s appointment.

Palmer’s previous success as a guest judge on “American Idol” contributed to producers choosing her, as they were impressed by her charisma and rapport with contestants.

Following Daly’s departure from hosting, he will remain involved with the show as a producer.

“The Voice: Celebrity,” a new iteration of the show hosted by Palmer, will feature a mix of contestants from various entertainment backgrounds, including actors and athletes.

While discussing her long-term ambitions, Jennie said becoming a figure with that level of cultural impact would be a dream. She pointed to Rihanna as an example of someone who has built a distinct identity while moving confidently across several creative industries.

Jennie has followed a similar path on her own terms. Alongside her work with BLACKPINK, she has developed a solo music career and established a strong presence in fashion. Her first solo studio album, Ruby, gave her more room to explore her individual sound and creative direction.

The singer also remains committed to BLACKPINK as the members balance group activities with independent projects. Her comments reflect a broader goal: building a career that lasts beyond individual releases and allows her work to connect with audiences across music, style, and culture.

Spears also shared fresh dance videos featuring songs by Rihanna. The clips continue a familiar pattern for the singer, who regularly uses social media to post freestyle performances, fashion moments, and music selections from artists she enjoys.

Her latest posts bring together three major figures in modern pop music. Spears, Beyoncé, and Rihanna each rose to global fame in different eras, but their careers have often overlapped through award shows, chart success, and shared audiences.

The update was not tied to a formal music announcement or new collaboration. Instead, it offered a casual look at Spears’ personal listening habits and the songs inspiring her recent dance videos. Fans responded by discussing her choices and revisiting the music featured in the posts.

The new certification arrives nearly six years after the song’s release. Industry records show that WAP debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and became one of the most commercially successful collaborations between two female rappers.

WAP was released in August 2020 alongside a colorful music video featuring appearances from Normani, Rosalía, Kylie Jenner, Sukihana, Mulatto, and Rubi Rose. The song generated strong streaming numbers during its opening week and remained a major cultural talking point throughout the year.

The Diamond award adds another high-level certification to both artists’ careers. It also gives Cardi B her fourth Diamond-certified song, extending her record among female rappers.

For Megan Thee Stallion, the achievement marks another lasting success from a period that also included major chart hits and several prominent collaborations. WAP remains one of the defining rap releases of the early 2020s.

The project, titled The Manager, The Mythology, The Legend, was announced as a broader look at Jackson’s personal history, ambitions, and role in shaping the early careers of his children. Marlon Jackson will narrate the series and contribute to its development, bringing a family perspective to the story.

Joe Jackson played a central role in guiding the Jackson 5 from Gary, Indiana, to international success. His management helped launch a group that became a major force in popular music and opened the door to several successful solo careers.

The series will also address the more difficult parts of his legacy. Over the years, family members spoke publicly about his strict parenting style and allegations of abuse. The docuseries is expected to place those accounts alongside his professional influence and the discipline he brought to the group’s rise.

A release date has not yet been announced.
