2023 brought the Netflix audience the unofficial Summer of Suits with a catch. Only the first eight seasons were available to stream on this service with the final season only being available on Peacock. There’s an update, however, that could make 2024 another Summer of Suits, which is fine news for anybody who hasn’t yet completed the original series before the Suits reboot series takes flight via NBCUniversal.
When Will ‘Suits Season 9 Be On Netflix?
Netflix made the official announcement on Twitter/X: “Order in the court! Suits Season 9 is coming to Netflix July 1st.”
If that’s too long to wait, then impatient Suits superfans can currently hop across the pond and watch all nine seasons over on BBC, where the Royal Fam is surely thrilled to see Meghan Markle appear on English TV screens.
On that note, it must be mentioned that this Netflix update does not mean that the “new” episodes will bring more Meghan Markle to U.S. Suits audiences. The Duchess of Sussex formally left the USA Network series during the seventh season after committing to marry Prince Harry. Her paralegal character, Rachel Zane, likewise departed the story after marrying Patrick J. Adams’ character, Mike Ross, but the role will live on in infamy, thanks to the power of streaming.
The latest acts to join the fracas are Cardi B and BIA, who spent the weekend trading shots in what appears to be the latest iteration of 2024’s Rap Beef-ocalypse. Here’s a timeline of their beef, so you can get caught up and explain to your friends, family, and co-workers just what the heck is going on.
July 2023: BIA Releases “Fallback”
Like most feuds in hip-hop, this one started off seemingly innocently enough. “Fallback” wouldn’t be considered a diss track by most — in fact, in the second verse, BIA specifically says, “I’m havin’ no beef, these bitches won’t say my name” — but in hindsight, it’s the song fans point to as the lit fuse for everything that came after.
Here’s where things begin to get spicy. Fans noticed that Cardi’s first single of 2024 interpolated Missy Elliott’s 1999 hit “She’s A Bitch” — the same song that BIA sampled on “Fallback.” Now, this wouldn’t normally be notable — lots of hip-hop songs sample the same classics (for instance, Bob James’ “Nautilus” is one of, if not the most-sampled song in hip-hop) — but for Twitter stans, this was tantamount to a declaration of war. Cardi’s combative rhymes on the track certainly helped the perception along for fans who look for hidden meaning in well-established hip-hop tropes.
However, where once upon a time, those conspiracy theories were confined to the insides of superfans’ heads, these days, those fans have direct access to the artists themselves. Alerted to the similarities between their songs, BIA subtweeted Cardi with a string of woozy face emojis. Cardi herself appeared to respond with a tweet of her own, writing, “Bitches make a fool of themselves every single time.”
May 2024: Cardi B Appears To Directly Diss BIA On GloRilla And Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” Remix
Cardi seemingly delivered on her promise to “show ya something when I release this song” on the remix of her frequent collaborators GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Wanna Be.”
“Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me / She did what? Had no idea / Thought she was on the shelf, Ikea / Hope she talk like that when I see her / B*tch, please, don’t nobody wanna be ya,” Cardi rhymes in her verse, with the final two words strong resembling the pronunciation of BIA’s name. Meanwhile, her reference to being “on the shelf” seemingly takes a dig at BIA’s relative lack of chart success since her breakout 2020 single “Whole Lotta Money,” which was a viral hit on TikTok and climbed to the No. 16 on the Hot 100. Since then, only “London” with J. Cole has reached the Hot 100, peaking at No. 62.
June 2024: BIA Claps Back With “Sue Meee”
Absolutely no ambiguity here. BIA goes in on Cardi in her new track released on Sunday. In the song, BIA accuses Cardi of the usual shortcomings (seriously, can y’all find some new stuff to talk about? YAWN.), including the rumors that she and her husband Offset spent the duration of their marriage cheating on each other and that she uses ghostwriters. “Do I beef with you or do I beef with Pardi?” she taunts on the song-ending bridge. “You been scrapping projects since 2019.”
The song’s title, meanwhile, came from an Instagram Live stream in which Cardi threatened legal action against BIA for insinuating she’d ripped off “Fallback” for “Like What.” In the caption of an Instagram post teasing the track, though, BIA wrote, “Sue me? That’s not hip hop .”
We’ll see if Cardi responds either way; she noted after her confrontation with Nicki Minaj in 2019 that beef is “bad for business.” But if it inspires her to finally get around to dropping that long-awaited follow-up to Invasion Of Privacy, I can’t say it’d be completely bad.
It seems like only yesterday that actress Aubrey Anderson-Emmons pulled a Bobby Draper and took over the part of Mitchell and Cameron’s adopted daughter Lily on Modern Family. But nope, it was 13 (!) years ago. It was so long ago that Anderson-Emmons is now a teenager who just attended prom.
People reports that “the actress — who turns 17 on June 6 — went to prom and shared photos and videos of her sophisticated black halter dress on Instagram on Saturday, June 1.” One of the videos is set to audio from the truly terrifying The Cat in the Hat movie with Mike Myers, while in the other, Anderson-Emmons posed with her date. You can see the Instagram post below.
The posts (you can see the photos here and here) were liked by her on-screen father, Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Anderson-Emmons recently spoke to The Daily Mail about whether she would be interesting in a Modern Family spin-off series.
“They really haven’t said much about anything. But my mom asked me, ‘Would you want to do that?’ and I thought about it and I don’t know,” she said. “I think maybe if it happened – and probably if it did happen – I would be out of high school. So honestly, that would be fine with me, but I want to stay in high school because I only have less than a year and a half left.” Anderson-Emmons has some conditions that must be met before agreeing to anything: “I’d definitely be interested if the script was good and the dads were on board, but school is my priority right now – unless something great comes along.”
Keeping up with new music can be exhausting, even impossible. From the weekly album releases to standalone singles dropping on a daily basis, the amount of music is so vast it’s easy for something to slip through the cracks. Even following along with the Uproxx recommendations on a daily basis can be a lot to ask, so every Monday we’re offering up this rundown of the best new music this week.
This week saw Cardi B stoke the fires of a feud and Fred Again.. make some new friends. Yeah, it was a great week for new music. Check out the highlights below.
GloRilla — “Wanna Be (Remix) Feat. Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B
Now that Drake v. Kendrick Lamar appears to be just about done, a new hip-hop beef is stepping up to take its place: Last week, Cardi B hopped on a much-anticipated remix of GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” and clearly had a bone to pick with BIA.
Normani — “Candy Paint”
Fans have been waiting for Normani’s debut album so long that it’s become a bit of a joke. Well, Dopamine is finally coming and “Candy Paint” is an enticing taste, an endlessly rhythmic and catchy tune.
Fred Again.., Anderson .Paak, and Chika — “Places To Be”
Fred Again.. increasing his star power and gaining the clout to access more and more collaborators is a great thing. He proved that last week on “Places To Be,” which sees him teaming up with Anderson .Paak and Chika on a kinetic, summer-ready banger.
Roddy Ricch — “Survivors Remorse”
Former Uproxx cover star announced the launch of a new era last week, and he followed that dispatch up with “Survivors Remorse.” It’s a reflective song that seems him getting vulnerable about fame, loss, and more.
Polo G — “Angels In The Sky”
Hood Poet has been a long time coming: The Polo G project was initially set for 2023 but ended up getting delayed and has still yet to surface. Whatever the case, the rollout continued last week with “Angels In The Sky,” which comes with a reflective video (in a time when impatient fans would prefer he spend more time looking ahead).
Kehlani — “Next 2 U”
Later this month, we’ll have Crash, a new album from Kehlani. The artist offered a slice of it last week with “Next 2 U,” a dynamic tune on which Kehlani sings about an intense love.
Charli XCX, Robyn, and Yung Lean — “The 360 Remix With Robyn And Yung Lean”
Charli XCX went on a tour of Sweden’s diverse musical landscape for her new remix of “360”: The revamped track features pop icon Robyn and hip-hop favorite Yung Lean, with both artists representing the pop-leaning and alternative-focused dimensions Charli has oscillated between lately.
The Marías — “Echo”
The Marías leaned into an aquatic theme on their new album Submarine, and that can be heard on “Echo.” There’s definitely an underwater quality to it, but the lyrical vulnerability does anything but drown.
Channel Tres — “Cactus Water”
We’re still waiting on a release date for Channel Tres’ upcoming album Head Rush, and “Cactus Water” will only make fans less patient. Uproxx’s Aaron Williams says of the song, “Inspired by Berghain’s techno scene, the funky new track incorporates elements of nu-disco, with a hard-hitting groove, a hefty bass line, and a chattering rhythm guitar.”
Shaboozey — “Drink Don’t Need No Mix” Feat. BigXthaPlug
Shaboozey has been on an absolute tear since blowing up after his appearance on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter. His new album — Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going — is out now and among the highlights is “Drink Don’t Need No Mix,” a BigXthaPlug collaboration that’s a seamless blend of hip-hop and country at a time where the latter genre has more mainstream relevance than it has in years.
The Minnesota Vikings’ roster saw some big changes this offseason, as they had two stars depart in free agency, with Kirk Cousins leaving for Atlanta and Danielle Hunter joining the Texans, and made some major signings themselves with a revamped defensive line led by Jonathan Greenard, and a new star running back in Aaron Jones joining from the rival Packers.
In the Draft, Minnesota moved up to take JJ McCarthy at No. 10 overall, as he’ll join a QB room with free agent signing Sam Darnold as they look to move on from the Cousins era. While the roster got shaken up considerably, the priority for the Vikings had to be locking down All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson on a new contract extension to give their hopeful franchise QB in McCarthy a true top target.
Jefferson and the Vikings took their time in extension talks, with other star receivers getting paid around the league, resetting the market a few times. That deal finally got done on Monday, with Jefferson announcing the deal himself and Adam Schefter providing the details on a 4-year, $140 million deal with $110 million guaranteed that makes Jefferson the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
A record deal: the Vikings and three-time Pro-Bowl WR Justin Jefferson reached agreement on a four-year, $140 million contract extension that includes $110 million guaranteed and makes him not only the highest-paid WR in NFL history, but the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history,… pic.twitter.com/OAESU3dOop
Since arriving in Minnesota as a first round pick out of LSU, Jefferson has been one of the NFL’s top receivers. He has never finished a season with fewer than 1,000 yards, managing to pass that milestone last year even though he played just 10 games due to injury. Over his first four years in the NFL, Jefferson has amassed 5,899 receiving yards and 30 touchdowns, earning three All-Pro nods (one first team) and the AP Offensive Player of the Year in 2022. Now, he’s locked in long-term for the Vikings and will look to build chemistry with a new QB room to continue producing at an elite level.
Spock would never. Zachary Quinto (Heroes, NOS4A2, Star Trek franchise) has been told not to return to a trendy eatery after allegedly pulling a James Corden. Manita, a self-described “mediterranean-ish bistro” in Toronto, straight-up tagged Quinto following a Sunday encounter that apparently turned brunch into a tear-fest.
“Zachary Quinto — an amazing Spock, but a terrible customer,” the restaurant posted in an Instagram story. “Yelled at our staff like an entitled child after he didn’t reply to two texts to inform him that his table was ready and refused to believe the empty tables in the dining room weren’t available for him despite being politely informed they were spoken for.”
The incident reportedly grew tense and emotional: “Made our host cry and the rest of our brunch diners uncomfortable. Mr. Quinto, take your bad vibes somewhere else, we have many lovely celebrities join us at Manita but you are NOT one of them.”
On Monday morning, Manita’s social media team decided to immortalize the fleeting “story” moment in a full-on Instagram post, too.
Quinto hasn’t yet publicly commented on the accusations. He did, however, celebrate his 47th birthday on Sunday while allegedly being a total grump. And there’s no way that he did so while eating the below shakshuka. That’s the face of a god in a skillet right there. Grumping is simply not possible while enjoying this, but reportedly (and on a more serious note), Quinto will not be indulging in this heavenly Manita dish in the future.
“THE SECRET OF US TOUR (pt. 1…) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Abrams wrote on Instagram on Monday morning, June 3, and the parenthetical “Pt. 1” should absolutely be noted. “I wish I could properly express how excited I am for these shows. The whole time we were writing the album, all I could think about was being in the same room as you — playing these songs, collectively screaming and dancing and also maybe crying for fun.”
The 24-year-old Grammy nominee continued, “I’ve missed it all beyond words and I’ve missed your faces like crazy, and every day I don’t spend with the band and the crew feels like being far away from home, so THANK YOU for being the reason I get to reunite with them. Truly, thank you. And then the luckiest of all is that @rolemodel will be on the road with us. We’re playing venues I’ve only ever dreamed of playing, and it’s entirely because of you. I love you, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to tour this album.”
According to Abrams, tickets will be available through a general onsale beginning on Friday, June 7, but pre-sale tickets will begin going on sale on Tuesday, June 4, at 10 a.m. local time.

This week will be a big one for Tems in what’s already been an exciting 18 months for the Nigerian singer. On Friday, June 7, Tems will release her debut album Born In The Wild and ahead of its arrival, the singer stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk to preview a couple of songs from the project and revisit highlights from her discography. She began with “Me & U,” the lead single off Born In The Wild, which was received a slightly stripped-back but equally enjoyable treatment thanks to support from her band and vocalists. Next came “Ice T,” the highlight from her 2020 breakout project For Broken Ears.
Afterward, Tems unveiled previously unheard songs, “Unfortunate” and “Forever,” from Born In The Wild. The former leans more into R&B and afrobeats as a reminder of Tems’ versatile while “Forever” strikes as a truly soaring record that highlights her growth. To close her set, Tems performed “Love Me Jeje,” the third single from Born In The Wild which interpolates Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit of the same name.
Tems’ Tiny Desk set comes days after she revealed the official tracklist for Born In The Wild. The album features 18 songs and guest appearances from Asake and J. Cole. She’s also set to embark on the Born In The Wild Tour with Naomi Sharon and Lekan.
You can watch Tems’ NPR Tiny Desk in the video above.
Born In The Wild is out 6/7 via RCA Records/Since ’93. Find out more information here.
If Miley Cyrus never acts again, her big-screen filmography will be bookended by movies directed by Tim Burton (Big Fish) and one of the Coen brothers (Drive-Away Dolls). Not many people can say that! But the former Hannah Montana star, who was living the best of both worlds (acting and singing) until she decided to focus on the latter, is interested in returning to Hollywood.
“I would like to act again,” Miley told W Magazine. “But the role would really need to be right, since it’s kind of hard for people to see past me and buy into a character. The character would either need to be an extension of myself, or someone — or something — with a personality that can conquer my own. I would need a character that is bigger than me.”
Cyrus also discussed a fax she received from her godmother Dolly Parton. “I literally have to access my lawyer’s office, because the lawyer is the only person who can still receive a fax,” she said. “Dolly wrote to me to say: ‘How much do I love you? As much as my heart can hold and as far as my arms can reach.’ It gets me choked up. I just love her so much. Last Christmas, she gave me a whole mannequin, done in her proportions and wearing her outfit. It’s so major.” A 9 to 5 remake starring Miley Cyrus isn’t the worst idea, actually.
