Afrobeats music (which includes the genres highlife, juju, fuji, kwaito, amapiano, and Afropop) continues to dominate the global music market alongside Latin Urbano. In fact, some of today’s biggest acts in the United States hail from outside of its boundaries. While Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa came together to bring the crown and music joy of the states, rap music, to West Africa, promoters are returning the favor.
The organizers behind the beloved festival, Afro Nation, are bringing the cultural event to the United States on May 27 and 28 in Miami, Florida. The two-day event will be held at loanDepot park. Headlining the inaugural show are none other than Afrobeat powerhouses Burna Boy and Wizkid, amongst many other artists representing the diaspora. Although this is the first time the festival has touched American soil, this isn’t the first time the Nigerian artists have shared a stage.
Burna Boy will headline on day one of the festival (May 27). In contrast, Wizkid will headline day two (May 28).
Other notable acts on the lineup include dancehall legend Beenie Man, Rema and Asake, CKay, BNXN, and Black Sherif, Franglish.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
The report reveals that in the last week, the Atlanta shoot, which is halfway through production, has lost key creative talent, including its production designer and supervising art director. It’s not the first headache to descend upon the production: Sources say that back in early December, Coppola fired nearly his entire visual effects department. (He did the same thing, infamously, on 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which wound up having incredible practical effects.)
What’s more, both production designer Beth Mickle and supervising art director David Scott have skedaddled. It’s believed that the film currently has no art department, though he’s reportedly trying to fill the vacant positions. To make matters worse, it was at least partly being shot on an expensive, cutting-edge LED volume, much like The Mandalorian. As production costs unexpectedly balloon — and, again, Coppola is funding this himself with his wine fortune — it’s believed they’ll be shifting to a cheaper green screen alternative.
One source who was let go called the set “absolute madness.”
A Francis Ford Coppola shoot turning into a nightmare? It should sound familiar. The disastrous shoot for Apocalypse Now, his legendary 1979 Vietnam War epic, is the stuff of legend, and was so storied that it begat a documentary, made by his wife Eleanor Coppola, almost as gripping as the subject itself.
In other words, the guy’s still got it! Whether he can complete it is another matter, but there’s still something to say that, even in 2023, at the age of 83, Francis Ford Coppola can still gift the world with a chaos shoot — that may wind up birthing a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Meditating more is a goal I seem to make for myself every year, and every year life inevitably gets in the way of a solid practice. While we are all surely aware of the benefits of meditation and breathwork – stress relief, increased focus, lower heart rate and blood pressure – it can be difficult to create a habit that sticks.
But as interest in meditation and breathwork has grown worldwide, the market for apps that guide through the process has skyrocketed. Bringing accountability, guidance, and authority, these apps aim to help us stick to our mindfulness goals long term. James Clear, the bestselling author of Atomic Habits, stresses that in order for behaviors to change, one of the rules for the new behavior is that it must be easy. And what’s easier than opening up an app on your phone?
Emily Hart
So where to begin? There are seemingly endless apps to choose from – all promising the same results of consistent practice, with different methods and interfaces. In 2023 there is truly an app for everyone. We tested some of the most popular on the market, and recommend these to start your year strong:
FOR THE “KEEP IT SIMPLE” CROWD — Insight Timer
Insight Timer
Cost for unlimited access:
Insight Timer offers an incredible amount of content for free, but to become a Member Plus and access all of the content, you’ll pay $59.99 per year after a one-week free trial.
WHY IT’S GREAT:
If I had to choose an “all-around” best meditation app, it would be Insight Timer. The app has a huge library of guided meditations, sleep stories and soundscapes, and guided breathwork, as well as yoga workouts, spaces for journaling, check-ins, and inspirational quotes. And that’s barely scratching the surface. It’s robust, but honestly what I find myself using most is the simple timer with starting and interval bells.
I set the timer for 5 or 10 minutes throughout the day, choose the bell, and get going. It’s simple, yet effective for me.
Pros:
The meditation library is huge — with lots of topics that are relevant and meaningful. The live yoga classes are unique and the music section is also robust and well-organized. It checks the box for everything I am looking for in a mediation and breathwork app.
Cons:
There are so many components to this app that it can be overwhelming, especially if you are new to meditation.
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE PERSONALIZATION — Aura
Aura
Cost for unlimited access:
7-day free trial then $59.99/year
WHY IT’S GREAT:
Aura touts itself as your “All-In-One App for Mindfulness and Wellbeing.” And with thousands of guided meditations, live sessions, sleep stories and sounds, one on one coaching, and even ASMR tracks – it does seem to be a one-stop shop (er.. app) to keep you satisfied and hitting your new years goals.
Pros:
Aura stands out to me in terms of personalization. While there are several apps that tailor recommendations, Aura’s recommendations felt the most precise. When signing up you’ll take a quiz that asks questions about your needs and interests, then Aura uses billions of data points to pinpoint recommendations. I also love the option for mood tracking, gratitude journaling and even hypnosis – it’s all covered within one app.
Cons:
If I had to complain about one thing it’s that the free trial is only 7 days which may not be enough time to fully integrate the app into your life and get into a habit. Although there are some free meditations available, it is a very small selection in comparison to the paid version.
FOR THE NEWBIES — Headspace
Headspace
Cost for unlimited access:
$69.99 annually after 14-day trial or $12.99 /month after 7-day trial(free for educators)
WHY IT’S GREAT:
Headspace is an OG in the meditation app space, and for good reason. With millions of downloads and monthly users, Headspace is easy to navigate and offers guided meditations at all levels – including for children and those new to the practice.
Pros:
Very beginner friendly, with a “basics of meditation and mindfulness” course available when you begin, and recommended exercises for each part of your day. The app design and animations are cheerful and clean, with options to pick different teachers that you connect with.
Cons:
The free version of the app doesn’t offer much, and the paid version – while easy to navigate – also doesn’t feel as robust as some of the others I tried.
Calm is one of the most downloaded meditation apps on the market. With many guided meditations, movement exercises, wisdom component, sleep stories, breath work, and music – it is well-rounded and, well, calming. The app itself is designed with backgrounds of beautiful scenes from nature that are tranquil immediately upon opening, and there are also specific exercises geared toward kids and teens.
Pros:
I love the Masterclasses available on Calm. With topics like personal growth and incredible teachers like Tara Brach, Ryan Holiday and Pico Iyer, these courses are very informative and helpful to me while still being short and sweet. I especially love the Masterclass on Radical Self-Compassion. Another pro for Calm (like Headspace) is that there is a free version for educators. This is an incredible opportunity for educators to use themselves and also to integrate mindfulness and meditation into their classrooms.
Cons:
Like many of the apps on this list, the free content is limited.
With courses for beginners, skeptics, advanced meditators, and everything in between – it is a robust app. With courses, single meditations, unguided timers, sleep meditations, and access to podcasts, and world-renowned teachers, it is a great option for those who want to focus on meditation in the new year.
Pros:
The topics covered are specific and helpful – grounded in real-life concerns like mindful eating, focus, ethics, emotions, stress, and habits. The app boasts world-renowned teachers – like the Dalai Lama – which brings legitimacy to those who may be skeptical of the benefits of meditation.
Cons:
The price is quite a bit more per year than other similar apps at $99.99. There are no music features or specific sections for breath work (although there are breath-focused meditations).
FOR THE COLD-PLUNGE FANATIC — Wim Hof Method (WHM)
WHM
Cost for unlimited access:
Membership and access to most of the app is $42.99/year or $5.99/month
WHY IT’S GREAT:
Wim Hof, “The Iceman”, is legendary for his ability to withstand extremely cold temperatures for long periods of time. The Wim Hof Method is a combination of breathing, cold exposure, and meditation that he credits this ability to – and that he teaches others in part through motivational speaking and the WHM app.
The app is made up of breathing, exercise, and cold challenges with audio, e-learning, and interactive breathing taught by Hof himself.
Pros:
I love the “Wim’s Challenges” section of the app. From push-up challenges to a 20-day cold shower challenge, and endurance challenges – these give the app more value than just traditional meditation and breathwork. The breathing exercises are tracked with statistics and badges you can achieve.
Cons:
There is limited access for the free version. This also isn’t by any means a traditional meditation or breathwork app – as the practice is one of a kind. This could be a benefit or con depending on what you are looking for in a meditation practice.
FOR THE PHILOSOPHERS AND THEORISTS — Waking Up
Waking Up
Cost for unlimited access:
14-day free trial then either $119.99/year or $14.99/month (need based scholarships available)
WHY IT’S GREAT:
Waking Up is an app from philosopher, neuroscientist and author Sam Harris. Created for anyone who wants to learn to meditate from a more scientific context, the Waking Up app is chock full of theory as well as practice. With guided meditations from Harris himself and others, an entire library on theory, and sessions that pertain to daily life this is an app for the intellectually curious.
Pros:
I like the design of this app a lot. The visuals are beautiful and the theory, practice, life organization makes sense to me. While the selection seems more limited than other apps at first glance, many of the exercises are much more thorough and longer than with others I tried. The Theory section sets this app apart with content from experts in their fields.
Cons:
The cost is a bit higher than other meditation apps and it doesn’t focus as much on relaxation or stress reduction in a focused way as others. It may not be a great choice for beginners.
FOR THE BREATHWORK PURISTS — Breathwrk
Breathwrk
Cost for unlimited access:
7 day free-trial then $49/year or $9/month
WHY IT’S GREAT:
While many of the apps on this list have some components of meditation and breathwork – Breathwrk is focused solely on, well, breathwork. And its singular focus has made it one of the most popular breathwork apps on the market. Breathwrk offers a huge library of exercises, classes, and habits. With breath tests and a “Top Breather” board, this app is designed to not just teach you new breathing techniques, but to integrate it into your life each day.
Pros:
I love the variety of short breathwork exercises. With many at just 1-2 minutes, I find myself often using the breath exercises for waking up productivity. The catalog is clearly designed with breath exercises for calming, nighttime, energizing, performance and health – with sub categories within each. The daily breath schedule keeps me on track and the “Panic Button” breath is a useful feature for me when I feel anxiety or panic.
Cons:
It’s only focus is breathwork, so if you want an all-in-one option for meditation, mindfulness and breathwork you’d need another app to fill the gaps.
FOR THE NON-COMMITTAL MEDITATOR — Balance
Balance
Cost for unlimited access:
free (donation encouraged) for your first year and $69.99/year after
WHY IT’S GREAT:
Balance is a meditation app that offers daily meditations, courses, sleep stories, and immersive soundscapes. While it does not have as large of a library as other apps, it is intuitive and cleanly designed, with focused plans for beginners through advanced practitioners, stress relief and mood support. It also offers an incredible one-year free trial in an effort to bring meditation to more people without the barriers of cost.
Pros:
The one-year free trial is incredible – no other app with its functionality offers something on this level. I also love the skills section of the user profile, where I can focus on skills like breath focus, labeling, loving-kindness, and visualization in a structured way. The app is also unique in the way that it adapts to your preferences each day.
Cons:
The library seems to be smaller than with many other apps. There are no specific movement exercises that I could find.
FOR THE EXPERIENCED BREATHWORK PRACTITIONER — Othership
Othership
Cost for unlimited access:
$129.99/year with first 14 days or $17.99/monthly and first 7 days free
WHY IT’S GREAT:
Othership is another app focused solely on breathwork. Its sleek design and a large library of daily and weekly practices. You can participate in a breathwork journey with focuses on things like productivity, energetic alignment, sleep, and sessions specifically for beginners.
Pros:
There is a large library of guided breathwork sessions on Othership. I like the journey option to maintain structure and accountability for myself. The design and interface are stylish and easy to navigate, with motivational aspects like streak days and achievement tracking.
Cons:
There aren’t many free sessions available, and the cost is high in comparison to other apps on the list that also have both breathwork and meditation support. Some of the sessions are longer and may be more suitable for intermediate or advanced practitioners.
FOR THE BUDGET CONSCIOUS — iBreathe
iBreathe
Cost for unlimited access:
Totally free with an option to pay $1.99 to remove ads
WHY IT’S GREAT:
iBreathe is another breathwork-focused app, but different from others on this list in some key areas. With a small section where you can read about breathing benefits; otherwise, this is mostly just a visual aid and timer to help you breathe in intervals. While it is completely free (with ads or $1.99 to remove them), the simple app allows you to select one of three predetermined intervals (you can also create custom intervals) and then guides you through the breathing cycle.
Pros:
This is by far the most cost-effective option if you are simply looking for a visual guide to complete simple breathing techniques. It is extremely simple and easy to use, with clear visuals to help you breathe in intervals.
Cons:
It’s very simple and does not offer much education or personalization.
There’s probably no album cover more iconic than The Beatles’ Abbey Road. The photo of the four men striding across the crosswalk is one of the most well-known images in music, and it’s prompted many spoofs.
Paul McCartney’s daughter Mary is sharing a funny story about the crossing. It occurred when she was filming If These Walls Could Sing, a documentary about Abbey Road Studios. They were trying to recreate the stroll when he was almost hit by a car. “The bit where the car nearly ran him over on the zebra crossing, that was so funny,” she told S Magazine. “As we were leaving [the studio], I said, ‘I’ll film you [on the crossing],’ and he went over, and this car totally didn’t stop for him.”
A couple of months ago, McCartney discussed getting emotional at concerts he attends. “Of course, up on stage, I can’t really see people’s reactions, but I love to hear them because I’ve found myself doing that at concerts,” he said. “I went to see James Taylor once and started blubbing because it was just so lovely! I was thinking, ‘Oh, I love this guy’ — I’m getting emotional even now!”
Argentina made history at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, leading to momentous celebrations upon their return to their home fans. Apparently, the only thing missing from this significant sports moment was rap music legend, Eminem. While Nicki Minaj, Maluma, and Myriam teamed up for the official FIFA fan festival anthem, attendees, according to 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson), could have been treated to an in-person performance from the Detroit native.
During his visit to REAL 92.3 FM’s show Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the mogul revealed Eminem turned down the opportunity to perform at the FIFA World Cup.
“I got an inquiry about World Cup, and they had a budget of $9 million. I would’ve taken one, and then the other eight would have been for him.” However, it was quickly shot down after sharing the proposal with Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg.
“[Paul] like, he’s not gonna do it.” While Jackson has discussed on multiple occasions how he’s walked away from lucrative deals, including a $1.3 million offer from Universal Music Group, he was shocked to hear Eminem’s decision considering he has performed at the Super Bowl with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and 50 Cent.
Jackson mentioned their Superbowl performance and said, “If you would do a one-off show, maybe you would do the biggest live sporting event in the world,” said Jackson referring to the World Cup.
Although Jackson doesn’t explicitly mention which year his mentor was asked to perform at the sporting competition, the rumor about the league having a hard time booking talent for last year’s series in Qatar may have some truth to it overall.
During the same interview, Jackson shared that he is currently working on a television series honoring Eminem’s life and legacy, “I wanna bring… I’m gonna bring 8 Mile to television,” said Jackson, “We in motion. It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds.”
The film version of Grease has been a teen staple for some 45 years, but like most older films, it has elements that wouldn’t fly today. Teenage smoking is among the least of its worries. When Paramount+ drops the prequel series Rise of the Pink Ladies, it sounds like it will be more progressive than the original, despite taking place four years prior.
As per The Wrap, creator and showrunner Annabel Oakes talked about her prequel at a panel discussion at the 2023 Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. She even addressed critiques of the original film, which has been called out in recent years for misogyny, racism, even glorifying rape culture.
“We love Grease. We refer to it as the mothership, and we always go back to it,” Oakes said. “It was made in a time, and it was commenting on another. So, Grease was the ‘70s commenting on the ‘50s. They were telling really subversive, funny songs and stories about the ‘50s from the ‘70s point of view. Now we’re in the 2020s and we get to comment on what they said in the ‘70s and the ‘50s, which is a cool experience.”
Oakes also admitted that some lyrics are “problematic,” which she and her team will address on their forthcoming show. “You’ll see us start to reference … to try to open up the world of Grease and the lens of Grease through taking a deeper look at those and getting other people’s perspectives,” she said.
Will Rise of the Pink Ladies go as far into progressiveness as Amazon’s recent League of Their Own revival, which included a more diverse cast of characters? You can find out when the show bows on April 6.
Nicolas Cage is one of our most adventurous actors, unafraid to look silly, game to try any accent, willing to do any genre. But he’s drawing the line at one of the most iconic franchises: You won’t be seeing him pop up in the Star Wars-verse any time soon.
Nicolas Cage does not want to be in The Mandalorian or the Star Wars universe (sorry, Pedro Pascal).
“I’m a Trekkie. That’s where I roll… I’m not in the Star Wars family. I’m in the Star Trek family.” pic.twitter.com/958e7picw4
In a chat with Yahoo! Entertainment’s Kevin Polowy, the Oscar-winner and future Count Dracula was asked if he would like to join Pedro Pascal, his Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent co-star, on one of Pascal’s big shows, The Mandalorian. His answer was blunt.
“No is the answer, and I’m… not really down,” Cage replied. “I’m a Trekkie, man. I’m on the Star Trek, I’m on the Enterprise. That’s where I roll.”
It’s true, Cage has spent his long career avoiding Star Wars, despite his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, being close buds with its creator, George Lucas. But he’s also eluded Star Trek. Perhaps that should be corrected. Make him some flamboyant Klingon baddie, or any of the many other alien races depicted in the franchise. Or, hell, do what he says and put him on the Enterprise as one of the good guys. You know he can do good guys, too.
Speaking of which, Cage also recently pitched a sequel to one of his finest movies, in which he gets to play good and bad: 1997’s action spectacular Face/Off, in which he and John Travolta literally swap faces. Whenever he’s done with that, someone finally get him on the Enterprise.
The most touching moment during Week 18 of the NFL season was after veteran Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown made a thrilling 42-yard diving catch for a touchdown. When he returned to the sidelines, he quietly gave the game ball to Bills assistant trainer Denny Kellington.
It was a gesture of thanks for Kellington’s quick thinking during the January 2 Monday night contest versus the Bengals when his actions helped save Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s life. Hamlin collapsed on the field after suffering cardiac arrest and needed immediate resuscitation and defibrillation. Kellington administered CPR on Hamlin before the defibrillator restored his pulse.
Kellington took immediate action administering CPR and it’s a major reason why Hamlin is still alive today. Dr. William Knight IV, who treated Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. praised Kellington and the Bills training staff for their heroic actions.
“We cannot credit their team enough,” Knight said, noting that Hamlin needed “immediate bystander CPR, which … rarely ever happens.”
“There are injuries occasionally that happen on sports fields, be it in football or others, but it is incredibly rare to have something be this serious (and) that quickly recognized,” Knight said. “Meeting the standard of what we would expect in that scenario is what has allowed us to be able to discuss these good outcomes today.”

Bills head coach Sean McDermott also praised Kellington at a press conference.
“For an assistant to find himself at that position and needing to take the action that he did and step up and take charge like he did … is nothing short of amazing,” McDermott said. “The courage that took … talk about a real leader, a real hero, in saving Damar’s life, and I just admire his strength.”

One week after his horrifying collapse, Hamlin was discharged from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Monday, January 9 to continue his recovery at a hospital in Buffalo, New York.
Some football fans on Twitter believe that Kellington should be given the NFL’s highest honor, an induction into the Hall of Fame for his heroics. The idea makes a lot of sense. It’s one thing to achieve greatness on the field or in the front office, but saving someone’s life puts Kellington on a whole new level of achievement.
Heroes do hero things, in hero moments.
Denny Kellington should go into the Hall Of Fame for his actions during that night.
Bills assistant athletic trainer Denny Kellington is a true hero in the NFL. His training, plus his team were instrumental in saving Mr. Hamlin life. A petition should be made for Mr. Kellington to enter the NFL Hall of Fame for saving his life. #hamlinstrong
Denny Kellington (bills trainer) deserves some big accolades. I do agree that maybe a hall of Fame recognition would be great. He really saved Damar’s life
Currently, there are 362 members of the NFL Hall of Fame which includes former players, coaches and front-office people, but a medical staffer has never been inducted. If the NFL acted fast, there’s still time for Kellington to be inducted in 2023.
Players usually have to wait a minimum of five years after retirement to be inducted into the Hall of Fame but there is no waiting period for those who have contributed to the league off the field.
The NFL should announce the latest list of people who will be enshrined in the coming days, leading up to an induction ceremony at Super Bowl 57. To honor Kellington shortly after his amazing act would be a wonderful display of respect by the NFL at a time when player health is top of mind for players and fans.
Kellington took immediate action to help save a player’s life. The least the NFL can do to repay him is to give him the honor he’s due without hesitation.
(SPOILERS for Invincible‘s first season will be found below.)
Season 2 of Amazon’s Invincible is receiving some teasing, and some of that information is coming from creator Robert Kirkman, whose comic books (as with The Walking Dead) serve as the backbone of the series. Before we discuss the upcoming season, though, let’s briefly refresh on where the series ended.
Omni-Man/Nolan Grayson (J.K. Simmons) is in the wind after beating the hell out of his son, Invincible/Mark Grayson (Stephen Yeun), who refused to help assimilate Earth as part of the Viltrum Empire. This bloody altercation arrived after Omni-Man had pulverized plenty of characters over the course of the season, and Mark was finding out exactly how evil dad is. This fateful scene ended with Omni-Man realizing that couldn’t kill his own son, and no one knows where Omni-Man went.
This includes his wife, Deborah Grayson (Sandra Oh), who realizes that she was a pawn, who was meant only to help him raise Mark to help take over Earth. Mark won’t play into that game, and now, we are left to wonder whether the show will adhere to Kirkman’s source material. In the comics, Omni-Man flees to Thraxa, and he imagines that he can easily take over that planet, but Earth is now in a shambles. If you are expecting to be able to depend on that result, though? Not so fast. Kirkman previously admitted (to ComicBook) that he grew “bored” with The Walking Dead comic while the show progressed, and he yearned for changes from the source material. So perhaps he also feels that way about Invincible. Here’s what Kirkman declared:
“[Invincible] sometimes adapts the comic book very closely, and sometimes it varies wildly… I think that some people think it’s a little bit closer to the comic than it actually is. Then at the same time, after years and years of working on The Walking Dead and being the guy in the room that’s like, ‘No, let’s change it. Let’s kill this character. Let’s do this,’ I was always pushing hard to change things as much as possible because I was bored with the source material because I was there for so long and additionally, The Walking Dead was something I was still actively doing [as a comic]. And so I was like, ‘Oh my God, can we please do something different?’”
That’s vague but perhaps deliciously so. And also via ComicBook, the show has started to drop Season 2 hints on Twitter. This isn’t the most important update (yet), but the social media team meme’d up the Mauler Twins and the show’s chicken pot pie fixation while clarifying that significant news will arrive by January 31.
Over the weekend, after four days of GOP-bred chaos over who should be the new Speaker of the House, George Santos was sworn as one of New York’s new representatives. He did so despite an avalanche of revelations that emerged after his election, which showed that he lied about…well, almost everything. But wait, there’s more: Yet another report alleges that the definitely not a shady character who raised money by hiring someone to impersonate a staffer for new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
As per CNBC, Santos paid $100,000 to one Sam Miele to contact donors posing as Dan Meyer, McCarthy’s chief of staff. Miele allegedly called or even emailed wealthy parties, using Meyer’s name to leverage McCarthy’s influence and therefore attract large donations. Miele is accused of doing this not once but twice, first in 2020, for Santos’ failed campaign, and again in 2022, when the alleged ruse paid off.
It’s yet another troubling allegation against Santos, who is accused of lying about his résumé to attract donations from people, some of whom are none-too-happy to have been deceived.
Despite being sworn in, there’s a chance Santos won’t be there for very long. He currently faces SEC complaints and investigations from both the Nassau County district attorney’s office and New York State federal prosecutors. In the meantime, Santos is doing his job, which is to say repeatedly missing his name when called for votes, which definitely isn’t sketchy either.
