Month: October 2024

Never mess with a brat. Charli XCX had to teach this cardinal rule to an outlet. Today (October 12), the “Sympathy Is A Knife” singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend Billie Eilish from a potential landmine question.

On October 10, Billie Eilish and Finneas sat down for an interview with the LA Times. During the chat, the pair discuss Billie’s latest album, Hit Me Hard And Soft. Eventually, other pop acts including Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan were entered into the discussion. Billie Eilish was then asked if she ever felt threatened by their success, which didn’t sit well with Charli XCX.

“Pausing from ‘Brat’ completely different chaos to just say lol this is a crazy question,” wrote Charli XCX on X.

Billie Eilish also found the question comical. In response to it, Billie said: “Are you kidding me? I’m so happy for these b*tches. It’s a crazy world when you get to the level they’re experiencing right now, and they’re doing great. Fans are drawn to them because they’re f*cking awesome.”

Usually, beef sells in music (just look at Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s recent spat). However, for years Billie Eilish has attempted to dodge any public dust-ups.

Back in May, Billie Eilish brushed off a question about newer artists “copying her,” instead she pointed out everyone including herself is inspired by others.

Billie Eilish sternly said that she is done talking about her sexuality and who she’s dating. However, that doesn’t mean the “Birds OF A Feather” singer can’t sing about it.

Over as heard on Nat & Alex Wolff‘s flirty new single “Soft Kissing Hour,” she is open to helping others vocalize it. The pop-rock sibling duo tapped their Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour head honcho to serve as the track’s official producer.

As the pair sings, “Paying by the hour / You know I’m missing you / Hear the running of the shower / Zipper on your black boots / Hell I’m doomed / When I step in your room / It’s the soft kissing hour,” it is clear the delicately delivered lines are for the hopeless romantics.

After the track’s release, the group took to their official Instagram page to pen a touching message to their collaborator. “We’ve never been prouder of anything in our lives,” they wrote. “Billie Eilish is a brilliant artist and producer and unfathomable talent and the opportunity to collaborate with her on this song was a dream come true. Alex, Billie and I (Nat) sat in a room until 4 AM with a piano an acoustic guitar and one handheld mic. No professional equipment, no recording engineer, no “adults” just three people who love each other eating vegan chocolate and making music.”

Ari Lennox is back online, but only for a limited time. Periodically, the “Waste My Time” singer would hop on her Instagram page to share different life updates, including milestones in her sobriety journey or discuss difficult moments in her career as well as hiring opportunities.

However, that will soon all come to an end. Yesterday (October 11), Ari Lennox took to her Instagram page one last time to announce that she would be permanently leaving social media after December 18. While Ari’s online commentary and livestreams (which have been featured in her music) have become a thing of legend, it has landed her in hot water.

Instead of being tempted to access her profiles later, she seems to be planning to delete her accounts entirely. But she will remain in contact with support through an email newsletter. As sad as this may be to fans, Ari Lennox did confirm new music is on the way and a new tour is in the works.

Read Ari Lennox’s full statement below.

Hey I’m working on a plan to transition off of social media for good. I don’t believe I’ll ever mature and be happy as long as I have it. So my last day of socials will be December 18th, my 2-year sobriety anniversary. I will be deleting my FB, IG and TikTok permanently. The fear of losing brand deals, music sales, n****s and b*tches will no longer keep me here. To all of my beautiful fans, I’m just not happy nor thriving here. I have a very toxic and codependent relationship with these apps. My happiness is worth more to me, than using these platforms to promote. I truly believe I can get creative with marketing elsewhere. I’m so exhausted with my addiction to the internet and gossip and attention and validation and yearning to be in control and over sharing. I just want to be free and complete.

I would like to offer other spaces where you can find me and that’s YouTube.com/arilennox and Arilennox.com and on the singing stage or outside. I ain’t gone front like this has been cute, it hasn’t. I love y’all so much. Please subscribe to my mailing list on my website to remain updated on my 2025 album and tour or don’t (My single Smoke drops 10/18 ) also my bad if my drama causes any distractions or insensitivity as I’m aware of the constant horror going on in the world. I just need to give my sweeties a heads up. I’ll be good, and I’m excited for this journey. I’m an extreme person. It will forever be all or nothing with me. – Ari/Courtney

Doing preseason coverage on NBA TV is not the most glamorous job in sports television, but it’s also usually a pretty low stakes environment. That changed on Friday night though, when former NBA coach Sam Mitchell had a bit of a meltdown after host Chris Miles made a little joke about his salary on the desk.

After Mitchell lamented that coaches don’t get gold medals for the Olympics, Miles joked that he thought coaches should do their work on NBA TV pro bono. It seemed like a pretty innocuous joke, but Mitchell did not find that funny…at all. He proceeded to go at Miles for the next 90 seconds, calling him out for having a rental beach house in Florida along with a townhouse in Atlanta, and threatened to read out his address on air since he’s “not home right now” while Miles desperately tried to shift attention to the Warriors-Kings preseason game.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Mitchell said. “Did you rent your beach house out, down in Florida, during the hurricane? Or do I need to go on. How ’bout your townhouse?”

“You wanna call me out,” Mitchell continued. “I mean, come on. You screaming broke and hungry. Let’s just see it. You know, I know what you have and where you live, young fella. So you need to stop.”

Later on in the show, Mitchell actually rattled off an address (watch here). NBA TV in early October isn’t usually this wild or tense, but this was certainly a bit spicier than we typically see on the network.

UPDATE: According to both Miles and Mitchell, who spoke with Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, the two were just joking and the address Mitchell read off was just one he made up on the spot.

NBA TV in early October isn’t usually this wild or tense, but clearly something odd was going on here between Miles and Mitchell and the former head coach lost his cool and had a bit of an on-air crash out. We’ll have to wait and see if Mitchell is back on the NBA TV airwaves any time soon.
