Yet again, hip-hop heads are asking themselves if Gunna and Future have beef. Back in May, the “Pushin P” collaborators appeared to subtly shade each other. Now, supporters have called out Future from removing a Gunna verse off his latest project, Mixtape Pluto.
With Future’s new body of work officially on streaming platforms, listeners were shocked to see that Gunna no longer appeared on its song, “Told My,” despite his verse previously being teased.
Over in his Instagram stories Gunna (viewable here courtesy of HipHopDX), seemingly addressed the removal, writing: “It’s not personal. It’s just business.”
Users online aren’t convinced that there still isn’t tension bubbling underneath the surface. But it is important to note that Gunna wasn’t the only artists fans seemingly axed from Mixtape Pluto.
Based on clips shared ahead of its release, Travis Scott recorded a special verse for the Mixtape Pluto record “South of France.”
However, considering the project marked Future’s first solo release since 2020’s High Off Life, others argued that he wanted to make a creative statement on his own. Based on reports, he did just that supposedly setting an Apple Music record in the process.
All eight teams that made it to the WNBA Playoffs were in action on Sunday, as the league had a quadruple-header of Game 1s to get the postseason started. The opening game was an unsurprising blowout win by the top-seeded New York Liberty over the 8-seeded Atlanta Dream, but many hoped the second game of the day would produce some fireworks.
That game saw the Indiana Fever go on the road to face the Connecticut Sun, with Caitlin Clark looking to make a mark in her first career playoff game. However, the Sun had other plans as they steadily pulled ahead of the Fever until the floodgates opened in the fourth and the home team ran away with a 93-69 victory. Marina Mabrey led the way for Indiana with 27 points off the bench, as the big midseason acquisition showed why Connecticut went out and got her from Chicago at the deadline, burying 5-of-12 attempts from three on her way to a game-high 27 points on the afternoon.
The biggest question for the Sun early in the season was whether they had enough firepower from three, and Mabrey made an emphatic statement about what her addition means in that regard for Connecticut. Her hot shooting night came alongside a typically dominant performance from the Sun inside, as DeWanna Bonner had 22 points, six rebounds, and five assists, while Alyssa Thomas posted her fourth career playoff triple-double with 12 points, 13 assists, and 10 boards.
On the other end of the floor, the Sun’s pressure gave the young Fever fits, as Indiana simply could not find their typical form from beyond the arc, going 6-of-28 from three as a team. While Kelsey Mitchell had 21 points on 9-of-20 shooting, she was only 2-of-10 from three, and Caitlin Clark was an even colder 2-of-13 from deep as she couldn’t get in any kind of rhythm against Connecticut’s size and physicality, finishing with just 11 points.
Aliyah Boston was the bright spot for Indiana in Game 1, with 17 points and 11 rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting, but the star backcourt will have to be much better to push this series to a Game 3. It’s now on Indiana to figure out how to get the offense rolling in Game 2, as the young Fever aren’t a team that’s going to suddenly win a rock fight against this Sun squad. They’ll need to find the flow and rhythm that saw them dominate opposing defenses after the All-Star and Olympic break, otherwise it’ll be at least one more year before Indiana gets a home playoff game.
Quavo is flying high following the release of his latest single, which features a Lenny Kravitz sample. However, a new lawsuit has reportedly crashed landed on the “Himothy” rapper’s celebration parade.
According to TMZ, Quavo is being sued for copyright infringement over his 2018 song, “Bubble Gum.” In court documents obtained by the outlet, underground rapper L.Mont (real name Lamount London) accused Quavo of stealing his track by the same name.
L.Mont claimed that after he served as an official opener for a Migos (Quavo’s former group) and 2 Chainz concert on February 6, 2016, he passed off a CD of the song in question. He then said he was shocked to hear Quavo’s version, which he believes contains elements of his record’s lyrics, arrangement, and melody.
Although the song was released two years following their alleged encounter at New Orleans’ Saenger Theatre, L.Mont argued that the similarities are undeniable. After years of watching the track gain popularity, L.Mont is taking action to be paid for his supposed creative influence. L.Mont is seeking financial damages for an undisclosed amount.
On the other hand, users online have begun to slam L.Mont’s case as opportunistic stating it doesn’t slightly mirror Quavo’s record. Listen to both songs below. Quavo has not yet issued a public response to the filing.
For now, the “Thick Skull” musicians are sure to pay tribute to the inductee who set the groundwork for them. During Paramore’s set at iHeartRadio Music Festival 2024 the group covered a certified classic, “Heart Of Glass” by Blondie with a mashup of their track “Hard Times.”
But that wasn’t the only way Paramore paid homage to Blondie. Frontwoman Hayley Williams even gave a nod to Blondie’s leading lady Debbie Harry’s iconic blue jumpsuit and matching head tie. As Williams glided across the stage with a markup of Paramore’s band logo (yet another nod to Blondie) viewers at-home raved about the multiple signs of respect.
“SHE’S BLONDIE. SHE’S DEBBY AHHHHHHHHHH,” wrote one user.
“Hayley, Miss Williams if ya nasty?! Have I time travelled,” another asked.
Elsewhere in the set, Williams took a moment to slam another public figure. While encouraging supporters to vote in the upcoming presidential election, Williams called out former president Donald Trump.
“Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of color & the LGBTQ+ community,” she said. “Do you want to live in a dictatorship? Well show up and vote!”
Considering this reportedly marked Paramore’s last show of 2024, Williams decided to go out with a bang.
During what appears to be her Midwest Princess Tour‘s recent stop at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, Chappell Roan found humor in the device one attendee used to photograph her performance. “B*tch is that a DS,” she asked. “You keep taking photos on your DS, you keep doing it.”
The video captured by fellow attendees (viewable here courtesy of Pop Base), caught the hilarious encounter as Chappell Roan locked eye with the ticket holder sneaking flicks with their Nintendo DS.
Users online also found humor in the incident and took to their pages to give the concertgoers cool points.
“Anyone rocking a DS today is seriously awesome, no doubt about it,” wrote one user.
“At this point it’s a flex to record with a DS,” penned another.
“Anyone carrying around a DS today is cool af, frankly,” chimed another.
Although the fan has yet to be identified it is safe to assume that moment was considered to be lighthearted. Plus after paparazzi captured a hostile exchange with Chappell Roan and a 2024 VMAs red carpet photographer, you see that his incident was far less tension-filled.
Is Doja Cat heading down the aisle? Yesterday (September 21), the “Paint The Town Red” rapper seemed to be glowing during her performance at iHeart Radio Festival 2024. So, when she flashed a ring to the crowd fans were excited.
After being spotted snuggled up with Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn supporters drove head first into the suspected couple. However, Doja Cat took to X (formerly Twitter) to swift deny that she was in fact engagement seeming to Joseph Quinn.
In a now deleted post (captured by Pop Crave, viewable here), Doja Cat wrote: “No, I’m not engaged. Its. David Yurman ring with no rocks in it.”
During the iHeart Radio Festival 2024 broadcast, the details of the ring could not be seen. But based on Doja Cat’s pose and propelling of her hand led fans to assume it was the Grammy Award winner’s formal announcement.
At this time, Doja Cat nor Joseph Quinn have confirmed that they are indeed in a committed relationship. Although after the pair didn’t hide their public displays of affection while vacationing in London. Still, given their rocky romantic start, (which involved Quinn’s co-sign Noah Schnapp outing Doja Cat for attempting to use him as a middle man), an engagement would have certainly made the public embarrassment worth it in the end.
The 2024 WNBA MVP race did not feature too much drama by the time the end of the season rolled around. Despite a phenomenal season from Napheesa Collier in Minnesota and another strong campaign by 2023 MVP Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson was doing things we’ve never seen from a WNBA player in Las Vegas.
Wilson averaged 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game for the Aces this season, upping her production by a significant margin over her past MVP seasons. Wilson set WNBA records for both points and rebounds in a season, crossing the 1,000 point mark in a season for the first time in league history. As such, it felt like a formality that she would be the league’s MVP, and on Sunday morning the WNBA made it official that A’ja was the unanimous MVP — with Wilson getting the call while with the team on Saturday night.
The moment
“I cannot thank you all enough. I hope you guys understand how much you mean to me. I hope you guys know that this trophy is nothing without y’all. We’ve been through the ringer – and we gon’ continue to go through the ringer – but one thing y’all don’t ever have… pic.twitter.com/NOnm0BP4yr
Much like her speech after hitting the 1,000-point mark, Wilson shifted attention in the room to her teammates and made sure they knew how much she appreciated them. It is Wilson’s third MVP award, as she has won it every other year since 2020 — 2020, 2022, and now 2024. As for the voting, Wilson won with all 67 first place votes, while Collier got 66 second place votes (and one third). Breanna Stewart finished third in voting with 52 third place votes and the lone second place vote that didn’t go to Collier. Caitlin Clark finished fourth, with 6 third place, 26 fourth place, and 22 fifth place votes, followed by Alyssa Thomas rounding out the top-5.
By Order Of The Peaky Fookin’ Blinders. The Cillian Murphy-led, Steven Knight-created gangster series will make “six seasons and a movie” happen, beating this show to the punch (and we can blame this dude’s busy schedule).
Speaking of packed careers, Cillian Murphy’s post-Oppenheimer glow hasn’t slowed him down. He has still made time to return as Tommy Shelby OBE after packing in 28 Years Later (the first in a trilogy of new rage-virus films), Blood Runs Coal (a true-crime drama), and Small Things Like These (about the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland). And as viewers will recall, Tommy still lives after realizing that he had been tricked into believing that he had a brain tumor. His gypsy wagon went up in flames along with his mementos from the past, freeing him to return to Birmingham, with or without a razor in his cap.
In 2023, Murphy raved about his Peaky love by declaring, “I’ve always thought that if there’s more story to tell,” and he recently told Netflix, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” and “[t]his is one for the fans.” Alright fans, let’s talk about what might and will happen next.
Plot
BBC/Caryn Mandabach Productions/Netflix
Creator Steven Knight and director Tom Harper are on the scene with filming beginning in September. Let’s also get this out of the way first: after the show’s sixth-season finale practically went out of its way to put Alfie Solomons-Tommy Shelby ^^^ face-to-face for a final TV conversation, there’s little chance of this film being “for the fans” without a repeat performance happening. Tom Hardy recently proclaimed his intent to surface by declaring, “100% Alfie will definitely make an appearance, but I don’t know when” before admitting, “I don’t even know if he will, that’s just me punting.” C’mon, Alfie is necessary, but now, let’s move onto story.
Does it matter that the Peaky Blinders movie will be ragingly inaccurate for historical purposes? Hell no. The real-life Blinders were already wiped out years before the show’s timeline ended in 1933, and nobody cares about this slip of the pen. Instead, we simply want to see more of the gang with Tommy finding them in terrible danger, only to solve the problem and reveal that he’s secretly had the entire situation under control. That’s the Peaky way.
Now, the Shelby family will move onto WWII-era events. That was the promise from Knight back whenPeaky announced the sixth and final season, and he recently confirmed at the RTS London Convention (via Deadline) that the movie is “set in the Second World War and it’s really good.”
We shouldn’t expect Tommy or Arthur to be fighting in this war (as opposed to WWI) after several time jumps in the show, but Tommy will of course be maneuvering as much as possible at home. That means that we will almost certainly be seeing reprehensible British fascist Oswald Mosely, who had already tried to push Tommy out of the picture through a fake medical diagnosis, siding with his Nazi brethren. And sure, Mosely historically survived WWII, but admit it, Tommy should still kill him on the show.
On the business/family side of Tommy’s life, Ada will likely be retaining her position as matriarch after the death of Polly (and Helen McCrory in real life), and then there’s the issue of succession. Tommy had set up plans for Charles (his son with Grace) to run the legit side of Shelby Company Limited and Duke (his illegitimate son) to take hold of the criminal dealings, so we shall likely see how these two are coexisting as business partners, although it doesn’t seem likely that Tommy will retire before his death. After all, we already saw him disastrously fail to take a break during the show.
Cast
On family matters: Cillian Murphy will definitely be back as Tommy Shelby. We can assume that we will see Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby and Sophie Rundle as Ada Thorne, and perhaps brief appearances will come from Kate Phillips as Arthur’s reluctant wife, Linda, and Natasha O’Keeffe as Tommy’s estranged wife, Lizzie. Presumably, Harry Kirton will not return as the ousted Finn Shelby, but perhaps Tommy seeks more gypsy knowledge, and we could see Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Esme Shelby-Lee. As for Tommy’s sons, Conrad Khan could conceivably still portray Duke Shelby in the WWII era, although Billy Jenkins could be replaced by an older actor as Charles Shelby.
Presumably, we will see the show nod towards the late Helen McCrory with a reminder of Polly Gray. Finn Cole’s Michael Gray obviously will not be back, but there’s a chance that Anya Taylor-Joy could be making trouble as Gina Gray, although it seems likely that her character will have moved onto other targets.
Since WWII is afoot, it would make sense for Sam Claflin to return as Sir Oswald Mosley with Amber Anderson back as Lady Diana Mosley.
And you know what? Tom Hardy must return as Alfie Solomons. I don’t want to hear anything to the contrary.
Knight has forecast new faces for the movie and even revealed two names. Those include the consistently incredible Rebecca Ferguson in an undisclosed role, and let’s face it, Tommy will make a pass at her (hopefully immensely powerful) character. Additionally, Barry Keoghan will be “shaking off all the cobwebs” from “chilling” lately. He will probably do dastardly things and maybe get naked while doing them.
Release Date
Realistically? This won’t come together until 2026, but the bright side there is that those involved, especially Steven Knight and Murphy, will not half-ass this conclusion.
Trailer
Since cameras only recently began to roll, this is an ideal time to revisit the comic relief that is Tom Hardy’s Alfie Solomons:
Alfie: Now, how soon did you know that I was not dead?
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content.

Joey King is flat-out gorgeous, so this film has naturally been subject to criticism about the concept of her character, Tally Youngblood, looking forward to plastic surgery. However, the project found a substantial audience while adapting Scott Westerfeld’s young-adult dystopian novel that revolves around a world with government-mandated cosmetic surgery for every teen. Those who complete the process are designated “Pretties” and graduate to a presumably cushy life, but the outcome isn’t that simple. On an unexpected note, this film is helmed by Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle director McG.
Euphoria star Hunter Schafer goes into scream queen mode and does what nobody should ever do while grieving her mother’s death: fly across the ocean for a new setting, only to end up at an unsettling hotel, where sinister sh*t is going down involving her family. Also, there’s a horrifying hooded woman and plenty of vomit involved, and the title of the movie is not to be ignored, but to say any more would ruin the experience. (More Hunter in Hollywood, please.)
8. Dark Winds – AMC series streaming on AMC Plus and Netflix
The third season of this stellar crime drama is in the works, and if you haven’t seen what George R.R. Martin has been doing seriously well lately, then you are missing out on a sleeper series that recently took off on Netflix. A growing audience is now enjoying this adaptation of Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee books, in which 1970s Navajo cops are confronted by a series of connected violent crimes near a remote outpost. Writers, cast, and crew are all majority Native American and ensure authenticity to stories of Indigenous people and communities, and the devotees will be able to enjoy much more.
Did you catch slightly unrecognizable Josh Hartnett in Oppenheimer amid the blitz of revolving A-listers? Well, Hartnett is back to carry a film on his own, and it’s like he never left. Here, he portrays a father accompanying his daughter to a mammoth concert from a Taylor Swift-esque artist, and unfortunately, a serial killer is afoot. And I waited until now to mention that M. Night Shyamalan directed, wrote, and produced this film, so expect twists.
WandaVision launched the Disney+ MCU shows with much fanfare that has since lost its intensity, but that first show’s spin off brings Kathryn Hahn’s powerful witch back (there’s a catch there) and adds witchy Aubrey Plaza, too. Additionally, this series surprised everybody by debuting with a nude scene that far surpasses the Captain America jokes about “America’s Ass.” Hey, this could be a new Marvel Studios phase in more ways than one.
Maika Monroe is tasked with tracking down a Satanic serial killer (portrayed by Nicolas Cage like you’ve never seen him before) in this genuinely disturbing horror film from Legally Blonde actor Osgood Perkins. During this movie’s theatrical run, Longlegs became Neon’s highest grossing movie ever and the biggest indie movie of 2024. Viral marketing can kick ass sometimes.
Emily is officially renewed for a fifth season, and that might mean that the show has to change its title to Emily In Rome, but also, she’s gonna screw up with her new boyfriend for that ridiculous Gabriel, isn’t she? We won’t find out the answer to that question tomorrow, but there should be a quick turnaround because Emily’s frothy adventures have too many viewers hooked. I am not sure why I cannot stop watching either, so it’s time to simply accept the fact that this show is addictive despite being a series with zero consequences or substance. Fingers crossed for a spin off, though.
Aaron Pierre delivers a potentially Bond-making turn in Jeremy Saulnier’s action-conspiracy thriller about an ex-Marine who receives an unwelcome stop from police, who — long story short and to avoid spoilers — messed with the wrong guy. This film carries First Blood vibes but leans more cerebral and does so more successfully than Reacher, which of course is a crowd pleaser on its own merits. The film co-stars Don Johnson, playing another bad cop here (see also HBO’s Watchmen) who ain’t no Sonny Crockett.
A new time slot will finish out this season with a fourth edition made official. Let Ken Leung start an office baseball team next time around, alright? Buckle in for a home-run finish to this season and a foul ball for at least one character with a few others stealing some bases. Alright, enough with the analogies. This show has managed to grow its audience over the course of the third season’s run. It’s an accomplishment that is rarely seen on TV, especially in the quick-to-be-cancelled streaming era.
Gary Oldman is having the greatest time portraying crotchety Jackson Lamb, the chief f*ck up of a cadre of outcast spies, who of course find themselves tasked with matters of utmost national importance. The leading man has gone on record to point out that James Bond would never fart, and he’s not wrong, which sums up a fair chunk of the hook of the series. This year, the action follows Mick Herron’s fourth Slough House novel, Spook Street, and we are truly living in a golden age of TV streaming takes on prolific spy book series.
For five seasons, What We Do in the Shadows has been one of the funniest (if not the funniest) show on TV. But all good things must come to an end, and like the characters in the FX comedy themselves, the show will soon be laid to rest. Season 6 is the final season of What We Do in the Shadows, meaning there’s only 11 more episodes left for more Laszlo alter-egos, Colin Robinson “up dog” jokes, and the creepy but cute Nadja doll. I’ll miss her most of all.
Here’s everything to know about the final season of What We Do in the Shadows, including plot details and the premiere date.
Plot
In the What We Do in the Shadows season 5 finale, Guillermo, after a brief stint as a vampire, decides he would rather be human. “Who is he if not a familiar who will do anything to please his Master in hopes of one day being turned into a vampire?” the official plot synopsis reads. The rest of the Staten Island gang is reevaluating some things, too: “When their former roommate reappears after a 50-year nap, they realize how little they’ve done in half a century — not one goal accomplished, not one dream pursued, not one part of the New World conquered (except for their street and part of Ashley Street).”
The season will also feature Guillermo realizing “he has to move out of the Vampire Mansion, get his own place, and restart the normal-world life that he left behind,” showrunner Paul Simms told Entertainment Weekly. This proves to be an issue when Guillermo is visited at his workplace by his former roommates. “He can never quite get away from them,” Simms further teased. “There’s some very fun stuff about Guillermo working in a normal office the way normal people do, but Nadja and Nandor also show up to help him out.”
Other plots include the vamps visiting New Hampshire, going to a (human) dinner party, and conjuring a demon, “all while trying to find their place and their purpose in this crazy, mixed-up world.” You and me, both.
Cast
Does What We Do in the Shadows have the best cast of any comedy on TV these days? It’s certainly in the running, and everyone is back, including Harvey Guillén as Guillermo, Kayvan Novak as Nandor, Matt Berry as Laszlo, Natasia Demetriou as Nadja, Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson, and Kristen Schaal as The Guide. Expect to see more of Anthony Atamanuik as Sean, Doug Jones as Baron Afanas, Chris Sandiford as Derek, and hopefully the return of Nick Kroll as Simon the Devious and Benedict Wong as Wallace as well.
As for guest stars, executive producer Paul Simms told TVLine, “If there’s anything we saved up, it was the guest stars for this season, because we wanted to just use our favorite funniest people.” It’ll be tough to beat the vampire council of Tilda Swinton, Paul Reubens, Wesley Snipes, Danny Trejo, and Evan Rachel Wood, but I trust Shadows will be find a way!
Release Date
What We Do in the Shadows season 6 premieres with three episodes on Monday, October 21 at 10 p.m. ET on FX, and will stream the next day on Hulu.
Trailer
FX hasn’t released a season 6 trailer yet, but you would be a devious bastard if don’t enjoy Matt Berry’s greatest line delivery (and believe me, there are a lot to choose from).
