A new era of Billie Eilish may soon be upon us. Over the course of the past week, the “What Was I Made For?” hitmaker cleared her Instagram, seemingly to tease her upcoming third album. She has also shared what looks like lyrics on billboards across the country.

In the latest tease, Eilish dropped a new hint to fans. Today (April 4), the illustrious singer/songwriter took to the Close Friends filter on her Instagram story to share a photo of a new tattoo.

The tattoo appears to be on her waistline, in cursive lettering. However, the lettering is a bit hard to decipher. Nevertheless, she seems to be stepping up her Instagram activity, which fans are taking as an indicator of new music.

Though, don’t expect her new music to come on a multitude of vinyls. Last month, Eilish criticized “wasteful” artists releasing multiple variants of vinyls. Some thought this might have been a jab at someone in particular, however Eilish clarified she wasn’t shading anyone in particular.

Needless to say, we can’t wait to hear what Eilish has been cooking up in the three years since her last album, Happier Than Ever.

You can sneak a peak of her new tat above.

An overarching Baby Boomer stereotype is that they have a problem with the younger generations, especially Millennials because they were coddled growing up and lack the determination to do hard things.

Many believe that when helicopter parents shelter kids from discomfort, they never develop the emotional resilience that it takes to succeed on their own.

Some may even attribute this to the increase in mental illness.

A writer on X, who goes by Katie, recently admitted that Boomers who believe facing discomfort has a significant benefit may be right. Her post has been seen over 4 million times.

“My boomer-est opinion is that you have to force yourself to do things that are difficult and uncomfortable and you have to do it often, while you’re young and your brain is still flexible.” Yes, even if you are (functionally) mentally ill,” Katie wrote. “Buying groceries can be uncomfortable. going to school/work can be uncomfortable. Socializing can be uncomfortable. The more you do it, the less uncomfortable it will be. If you can do these things (I know that there is a % of the population that isn’t), you have to do them often.”

“I’ve never come back to a piece of life advice more than this one,” she continued before quoting Virgil Thompson. “Try a thing you haven’t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.”

Many people agreed with Katie’s Boomer-adjacent thoughts on building emotional resilience.

literally how i forced myself to heal from my social anxiety

This is actual science. You literally build pathways in the brain by doing hard things, pathways that make it easier to repeat doing hard things. By quitting, fleeing, avoiding hard stuff you make it less likely you’ll succeed next time. This is actual brain science.

This is what’s been saving my life from depression, it’s very sound advice even if it doesn’t feel that way in the moment!

my life only started improving when i forced myself to do the shit i had no desire to do. you either rot in that dark hole or claw your way out of it. having support and encouragement is wonderful, but at the end of the day you’re the only one who can change the outcome

— demon twink from hell (@medi4wh0re) March 20, 2024

Some folks are on the fence.

It is true in a sense, but this ability to “force” oneself may itself be governed by processes you don’t have control over.

— Loads of Daffodils (@LODProduces) March 20, 2024

I agree, but the boomer take extends this to include everything: “it’s normal to hate your job, your partner, and life itself, and you just have to push through it.” Doing initially uncomfortable things to live a better life is good; ignoring your own needs and happiness isn’t.

— Matty “Nails” Sheephard (@DeprivedSheep) March 20, 2024

Others disagreed with Katie’s point, saying that the idea that we can all “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps” is ableist and erases the struggles that people with anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses have.

I get what you’re saying, but that last part is pretty ableist tbh. Some of us with somatic anxiety disorders are physically unable to do certain things. Like I have issues with driving, and one of my anxiety symptoms is vertigo. Bad combo there. I’m otherwise fully functional.

— Lemur 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@floatinglemur) March 20, 2024

Clearly you don’t understand that people can have executive dysfunction where this is literally impossible, or PTSD where doing “uncomfortable” things is actually very triggering and can cause full blown panic attacks. You have to be comfortable and safe first.

So, what does the research say?

Dr. Simon Sherry, a professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University, says that coddling has caused real problems for the younger generations. “There is nothing wrong with wanting to keep kids safe, but we must recognize there are unintended consequences in our current approach of excessive caution and vigilance. Instead, we must teach our youth to face anxiety, take risks, and overcome fears,” Dr. Sherry told CTV News. “We need to get control of this societal problem before it causes further damage for future generations.”

When it comes to confronting uncomfortable situations, Dr. Launa Marques, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Former President of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, says avoiding discomfort can make anxiety even worse.

“Psychological avoidance isn’t about the actions we take or don’t take, but the intentions behind them,” she told The Washington Post. “If our actions aim to squash discomfort hastily, then we’re probably avoiding. For each of my clients, avoidance became a crutch, initially tempering their anxiety but progressively amplifying it. Psychological avoidance, rather than alleviating anxiety disorders, can exacerbate them.

Obviously, everyone’s situation is different and people who are experiencing mental health issues should consult their therapists to determine the best course of action to overcome their challenges.

Back in May of 2023, a Texas couple sparked a huge parental debate after saying that they charged their 19-year-old daughter rent after she graduated high school. While some thought it taught responsibility, others felt like they were merely adding another arbitrary obstacle for their child.

Now, if this was the response to a 19-year-old getting charged rent, imagine how folks might feel to hear about it happening to kids under 13.

In a viral TikTok, mom and personal finance influencer Samantha Bird shared that she charged her three elementary school-aged children rent and utilities each month. This method might seem unconventional, but Bird argues that it’s simply a way to learn about money “in a safe environment.”

---

Here’s how it works: each of Bird’s children (ages 6, 8 and 9) gets $6 a week for allowance. One dollar per week is expected to go towards one of three monthly expenses: rent, utilities or groceries.

“They track it on their budget trackers and other spending or categories happen after those payments. They set that dollar in a separate envelope for utilities, and then at the beginning of the next month, we charge them for their bill,” Bird explained.

For the most part, viewers loved the idea.

@samanthabirdshiloh We increased the boys allowance to accommodate them paying “mock” bills. I want them to have a sense of responsibility and learn how to manage expenses in a safe environment now! #budgeting #finacialfreedom #parenting #kidstiktok #kidsoftiktok #kidspersonalfinance #financetiktok #moneytips #debtpayoff #debtfree #debtfreejourney #debtfreecommunity #investingforkids #investing #personalfinancetips #moneymindset #moneymanifestation ♬ original sound – Samantha Bird

“It’s a great way to teach financial responsibility,” one person wrote. While another commented, “first I was like wow this is ridiculous. Then I was like man I wish I learned this at any point of my life.”

It also inspired a few comedic gems. Like:

“Should give them $5 per month but expenses are $6. More realistic.”

“No need for this. School will teach them all they need to know. Like parallelograms. Which comes in handy during parallelogram season.”

But her budget-conscious parenting style didn’t fully escape criticism. One person wrote “They’re too young for this. Chances are they’ll become hyper-fixated on money and be over anxious about it. I speak from experience.”

Another added, “Kids this age absolutely do not need to learn about expenses and bills. This is a perfect set up for creating financial anxiety.”

Experts over at MarketWatch, while they too had mixed reactions to Bird’s strategy, agreed that teaching money handling at a young age is crucial.

Kate Yoho, a financial adviser at Tennessee-based TBH Advisors said “starting them at that age is great,” adding “I love her strategy. It’s good and basic. Kids get excited about stuff when they’re little — especially money, because they don’t understand it.”

Meanwhile, Rick Kahler, a financial planner and financial therapist and founder of Kahler Financial Group in South Dakota, noted that while Bird’s strategy works for her, it is certainly not one-size-fits-all.

“When it comes to teaching kids money skills, there isn’t one way to do it. I applaud [Bird] for being aware that she has a responsibility to teach her kids money skills. Whether the way she is going about it is [right] is always one of subjectivity,” he said.

Yet another expert, Michele Paiva, a Pennsylvania-based financial therapist, warned that this specific type of “envelope budgeting” can be uninspiring and anxiety-inducing to kids. Which can also be true for adults as well. But she did also note that it’s a great way to teach math skills, as well as how to have constructive money conversations, especially when it comes to deciding how to spend the remaining money.

For Bird, it all comes down to teaching her kids valuable skills they’ll need as adults “while they’re little and this process still feels fun for them.” Not to mention she wants to protect them from going into heavy debt like she did. That’s why she not only goes over all things money management. She even talks with them about credit and the stock market.

Even if parents don’t plan on adopting this strategy for their own family, it’s important to find some way of instilling these skills. Yes, of course kids should be kids while they still can, but, just as in Bird’s case, children tend to love learning adult skills, especially when it’s presented in a fun way. Maybe with more ideas like this, we’ll finally have a generation of financially savvy adults that don’t have to make the parallelogram joke.

Squatters’ rights laws are some of the most bizarrely misused legal realities we have, and something no one seems to have a good answer for. Most of us have heard stories of someone moving into a vacant home and just living there, without anyone’s permission and without paying rent, and somehow this is a legal question mark until the courts sort it out.

According to The National Desk, squatters’ rights are a carryover from British property law and were created to ensure that abandoned property could be used and to protect occupants from being kicked out without proper notice. It should go without saying that squatter law isn’t meant to allow someone to just take over someone else’s property, but sometimes that’s exactly what happens.

It’s what happend to Flash Shelton’s mother when she put her house up for rent after her husband passed away. A woman contacted her with interest in the property, only she wanted to do repairs and look after the home instead of paying rent. Before anyone knew it, she had furniture delivered (which she later said was accidental) and set up camp, despite Shelton’s mom not agreeing to the arrangement.

---

But since the woman had expressed her intention and already moved in, the matter was out of police hands, as Shelton found out when he tried to contact the local sheriff.

“They said, ‘I’m sorry but we can’t enter the house, and it looks like they’re living there, so you need to go through the courts’,” he shared in a YouTube video.

Shelton rightfully didn’t want the expense of a court battle, so he took matters into his own hands—not with violence, but with logic. He had his mom lease the home to him, and then told the squatter that she had to move everything out because he was moving things in.

“If they can take a house, I can take a house,” he said.

He was calm and clear about her having to get everything out within the day or he would have people come and take it, and thankfully, she didn’t put up a big fight.

That experience made him realize how squatter law can be abused, but that there’s a faster system for removing a squatter than to go through the court system. If a squatter can move in and force a homeowner to take them to court to prove they are living there illegally, then he could simply move in alongside the squatter, putting the squatter in the position of having to take the homeowner to court instead.

“The legal process is so slow, and at some point when they’re in there, you’re going to feel like they have more rights than you do and that’s how you’re going to be treated. So even though you it’s your house and you’re paying the mortgage or whatever, at some point squatters feel like they have more rights than you, so they don’t have an incentive to leave until a judge tells them to, until they’re actually ordered to, and that could take months.”

After successfully removing the squatters in his mother’s house, Shelton has been tackling similar squatter situations for other homeowners in California, earning him the nickname “The Squatter Hunter.”

“All I’m doing is becoming a squatter and flipping this process on them,” Shelton told CBS News. “I figured if they could take a house, I could take a house.”

According to CBS, he’s successfully removed a dozen squatters in the past year. “”I’m not going in and I’m not hurting anyone,” he said. “I’m not kicking them out, I’m not throwing them out.” He’s literally just moving in himself, setting up cameras, and then creating small annoyances until the squatters get fed up enough to move out.

California isn’t the only state that has seen issues with squatters. There are squatter stories from all over the U.S. of people moving into a property and refusing to leave without a court order, tying owners up in lengthy, expensive legal battles.

Shelton even has a Change.org petition to try to get squatter laws changed to “make squatting in residential maintained homes criminal.” Making squatting illegal “will shift the burden of proof onto the squatter and make the crime punishable with restitution an option for damages,” the the petition states.

Watch Shelton share his personal story:

Dorilee Lavin, 39, was a divorced mother of 3 living in Vermont. When she was ready to find her next relationship, she made a list of characteristics she wanted in her next husband. “I manifested him hard,” Dorilee, 39, told Today.com.

Three days later, she saw a tall, dark-haired man named Sean walking his 2 daughters to school and hoped he was single. “It was the sweetest thing ever, like an image you’d see in a magazine,” she recalled. “They had such a happy energy.”

After some research, she discovered that he was single, too. Unfortunately, their paths didn’t cross and the school year was nearing its end. “I never got the chance to connect with him, but the [after-school care] was tired of hearing me talk about him to them,” she confessed in a TikTok video with over 1.7 million views.

---

“’OK, Dorilee, we can’t have you be bummin’ all summer, so we’re gonna give him your phone number,” she recalled them saying.

#stitch with @Jackie Gansky 

@dailydoseofdorilee

So, on the last day of summer break, the employees at the after-school care program agreed to give him her phone number. Before he got the digits, she ran into him while she was leaving the center and didn’t think she made a great first impression.

“It was total verbal diarrhea. Like no pickup lines, no nothing here. I actually thought I scared him,” Dorilee shared in the video. Luckily for Dorilee, she didn’t. About an hour later, he texted her and they agreed to go on a date that Saturday night.

They eloped in the woods 111 days after their first date. Dorilee believes she “manifested” Sean, he thinks he may have done the same for her.

“I later learned he had a dream of a woman with long dark curly hair and a captivating energy,” she told Today.com. “Then, when he saw me, he was blown away because I was the woman from his dream. I didn’t believe him when he first told me the story, then he showed me the texts. He had messaged his friends about the dream.”

Dorilee still can’t believe that her metaphysical request was honored. “It hit me hard about two months ago that I’m literally living the life with a partner I called in from the universe years ago and I balled like a baby,” she wrote in the comments.

Their kids get along very well and they’ve worked hard to create positive and peaceful relationships with their exes.

Dorilee and Sean told Upworthy that there are 3 “vital” elements to creating a successful co-parenting relationship: clear communication, open dialogue and always acting in the best interest of the kids.

It’s also essential to leave the past in the past.

“Letting go of any premarital resentment and leaving that in the chapter of your marriage is what helped us move forward with positive co-parenting,” Dorilee told Upworthy. “Raising kids isn’t all cupcakes—it can be difficult when married, but there’s a whole different aspect after divorce. None of the members of our parental party talk poorly of the others. We don’t want to in any capacity have a child think there’s any part of them we wouldn’t love because they are partly made of the parent we divorced.”

It’s also worth noting that Dorilee has a rather charming name for her ex-husband, with whom she shares co-parenting responsibilities. She calls him her “wusband” (he was my husband).

Even though Dorilee and their family have created a happy and emotionally healthy second chapter in life, there are some who still think she had to employ stalker-style tactics to get her man, an accusation she denies…sort of. “Is it really stalking if I didn’t follow him and just made myself available to bump into him at pickup, though?” she wrote in the comments.

Some people see math and automatically turn off their brains while others can’t wait to figure out the problem presented. Math can be anxiety producing for some people but this random discovery of two calculators coming up with different answers to the same problem have people intrigued.

Spellbinding Odyssey shared a short video on X showing someone using a regular Casio calculator you can pick up at any store and the calculator that comes standard on a cellphone. The person in the video enters a simple equation on the cellphone calculator, 50+50×2. Instantaneously, the cellphone calculator displays the answer as 150. It doesn’t take a mathematician to second guess that answer though many people might immediately second guess their own assumption that the answer given is incorrect.

On the traditional calculator, the same exact simple equation is entered in the same order, 50+50×2. But there’s something weird that happens. The traditional calculator comes up with a completely different answer than the other calculator. This time the answer to the equation is 200, but how?

---

People in the comments of the post were quick to point out what was happening because math doesn’t make everyone cry. There are quite a few people that enjoy the challenge and were able to explain why the phone was coming up 50 short of the expected. It turns out to be something really simple. Remember in late elementary school when math teachers excitedly taught the order of operations? That’s what’s a play here.

If you’re one of the people that immediately walks away at the sight of math equations so your memory is a little fuzzy on that rule. Many people learned the acronym, “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally,” where the beginning of each letter stands for the order in which you complete a simple mathematic equation. Parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.

In the case of the two calculators, one is using the order of operations and the other is not, commenters point out.

Can you explain this 🤔 pic.twitter.com/rYX6twPjOL

— Spellbinding Odyssey (@SpellOdyssey) April 2, 2024

“The iPhone Calculator is applying the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which means it calculates multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. So, the operation it performs is “50 + (50 × 2)”, resulting in 150. The Casio should too but some models and modes affect how it calculates. To avoid this issue, use parentheses,” someone writes.

“The phone followed order of operations while the calculator made its calculations one at a time,” another person points out.

Other people were a bit peeved that the cellphone calculator would be programmed to automatically assume a person was inputting equations in everyday life.

“A calculator’s job is not to solve equations unless its a graphing calculator. A person trained to use a calculator will unknowingly receive the wrong answer when entering the equation “properly,” a commenter protests.

“No telling how many ledgers, documents, etc are wrong,” someone says.

“The iPhone seems to be less efficient than the old calculator. You have to press the = button after adding 50 + 50. If you don’t, the iPhone will assume like 50 + (50 x 2),” another writes.

You learn something new every day. If you’re doing simple multistep math on your phone be sure you’re pressing the equal sign after each step or you could wind up severely miscalculating unwittingly.

How is it that some people seem to know a lot of random facts and are great at trivia, while others can’t get a question right while watching “Jeopardy!”? A big reason is curiosity. People interested in many different subjects have a more significant knowledge base than those who do not.

Further, when people are genuinely interested in a subject, they retain knowledge much better than if they heard the information in passing. So, while two students may learn the same thing in class, the genuinely interested one will remember the information, while the other will quickly forget it.

Studies show that curiosity is one of the most significant predictors of having a high IQ.

A Redditor named TechSavvy_Ryan asked the curious folks on the platform to share the facts that “most people don’t know.” The post went viral, inspiring over 8,000 responses in just two days. So, we cobbled together a list of the 15 most intriguing facts so you can wow people at your next trivia night or cocktail party.

Here are 15 facts that “most people don’t know.”

1. Hindenburg survivors

“Most the people involved in the Hindenburg disaster lived.” — CaligulaMonkey

“It was said 62 of the 97 people survived. You can see them running away in the nick of time as they touched the ground.” — Rook2Pawn

2. Freaky fish

“Irukandji jellyfish grow only to about 1 cubic cm in size, but have an incredibly painful sting. One symptom of the sting is a strong impending sense of doom. Victims have begged their doctor to be killed as they were certain they would die anyways.” — NikkiRex

3. Dangerous laughter

“You can collapse your lungs from laughing.” — ContentTask2032

“So you can technically die from laughing?” -PaptaLopikju-

4. Dark side of cruises

“The amount of murder, rape and suicide that happens on cruise ships. Most of them unresolved, too.” — PeacefulKillah

“Most newer cruise ships also operate an onboard morgue, as they are now considered cheaper options to retirement homes. Last time I was on a cruise, a crew member let slip that there were 2 deaths from natural causes.” — Kegman83

5. Happy birthday

“A company called Warner Chappell Music collected licensing fees for use of the song ‘Happy Birthday to You’ all the way until 2015. That’s why characters in movies often sing other songs like ‘For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”’and restaurant chains often have their own birthday songs they sing to customers.” — ItsMeCourtney

6. Burial facts

“A burial plot is called a graveyard if it’s part of a church lot. It’s called a cemetery if separate.” — Missusmidas

“The backyard is only a graveyard if they can find the body.” — Diels_Alder

7. Spanish Africa

“The only Spanish-speaking country in Africa is Equatorial Guinea. Its capital, Malabo, is on an island slightly northwest of the country’s mainland.” — Dre_Lake

8. A case of bad nerves

“If your nerve is broken in the wrong way, the nerve will send a pain signal to the brain and it won’t stop.” — RhiannonCrystalLady

9. Pizza truth

“An 18-inch pizza is more than two 12-inch pizzas. To do the math, the surface area of a circle is pi x r squared. Pi is the constant. 18 in pizza has a 9 in radius, or r. 12 inch has 6. 9 squared is 81, 6 squared is 36. 36 x 2 is 72. 81 is greater than 72.” — Who_Else_But_Macho

“Not only that but if you assume that each pizza has a 1″ wide crust all the way around, the 18-inch pizza is 79% toppings and 21% crust, while the two 12-inch pizzas are only 70% toppings and 30% crust. So not only do you get MORE pizza, you get a more efficient pizza with a greater toppings-to-crust ratio.” — Tajwriggly

10. Declare your pacemaker

“When a body is to be cremated, the funeral director will first ensure that any rubber sole shoes, watches, phones, glasses, and sealed glass/metal containers are removed. Any sealed container becomes a pressure vessel when exposed to temperatures exceeding 1000°c. These will explode and do significant damage to the crematorium. This is the same reason why any electrical devices or items with batteries are removed, including most watches, and also pacemakers. When an undertaker asks whether your loved on had any medical implants or pacemakers, this is the reason why.
Glasses often tend to leave a silica residue on the bottom of the cremator which is just awkward to clean up and can build over time. Rubber soles are just incredibly polluting and are often not caught by the many filtration systems. This usually results in a black plume of smoke coming from the chimneys. Also, all metal residues and materials which are collected after the cremation is completed are gathered up and can either be returned to the family (upon request) or else treated and recycled, with proceeds from the recycling going towards a worthy charity.” — Flaky_Tumbleweed

11. Scuba or S.C.U.B.A.?

“Scuba is an acronym, standing for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.” — JackCooper_7274

12. Squirrel speed

“Squirrels run faster up trees than on flat surfaces.” — sstebbinss

13. Battleships

“Battleships in museums/ on display that are WW2 and later cannot start their engines because they have preservative grease inside in case the Navy has to bring the ship back into service.” — Stravata

14. Sharkgevity

“Sharks predate trees.” — External_Crazy_6568

“Well duh, they’re predators.” — Flowcahrt83

15. Code-shifting cells

“Your immune system has at least 1 cell to combat every single infection that could ever exist. Your T-cells are cells that, when created, go through a sort of training phase in the thymus where they are allowed to change their genetic code at random, in order to be able to battle 1 random very specific disease. During this, the body also kills any T-cells that are accidentally adapted to kill human cells. Then the T-cells are sent to lymph nodes, to be found later by presenting an antigen (a part of a pathogen) to it. Basically, you have something for everything in your body, the problem is just finding it, as it takes a good few days for your body to locate the specific one.” — Chipperland4471

Global sensation aespa is dominating the landscape. Over the past few years, this talented group comprised of women singers has been slaying the game, with fresh new sounds and innovative grooves. And tonight (April 4), the women-powered K-Pop group has shared their new single, “Die Trying,” from upcoming original movie Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver.

On “Die Trying,” the group collaborates with EDM powerhouse artist Tokimonsta, who, at the helm of the song’s production, creates sounds launching the ladies into a new level of power. Tokimonsta delivers a hypnotic, bouncy beat, captivating what sounds like what reaching new heights of power feels like.

“See me goin’ psycho / Someone tell me what’s it gonna take / Coming out the gate, I’m a rockstar / I eliminate the imposters / We the last ones on the roster / Never wave a white flag out die trying,” sings the group on the song’s chorus.

Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver was directed by Zack Snyder and picks up where Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child Of Fire left off. The original movie premiered in December 2023.

You can listen to “Die Trying” above.

aespa is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

LeBron James and J.J. Redick have used their new podcast, “Mind the Game,” to give basketball fans a high-level look at the NBA. The pair have spent a whole lot of time around basketball, and seem to really enjoy getting the opportunity to talk about things from the perspective of a current and former player who have seen everything in the league.

On their most recent episode, the two dove into a pretty fun subject: Basketball players going out of their way to watch their own highlights. After James said that he’ll come across his old clips on social media, Redick interjected and told him that it’s ok to look up your own highlights.

“I don’t just go online and look up LeBron James highlights,” James claimed.

“We all watch our own highlights on YouTube,” Redick quickly interjected.

James admitted that in the past, he’s “of course” looked up his own highlights on the YouTube, before explaining that there is actually a reason players do this.

“The number one reason you do that is when you hit, like, a little slump or whatever,” James said. “You’re like, where’s my game? YouTube is the perfect place to find your game.”

Redick immediately agreed with this, and immediately went to a game he played in Charlotte as the sort of game he’d look up when he needed an extra pep in his step.

Over the past few months, 4Batz has shown to be one of hip-hop’s promising new stars. With a promising hit on his hands, as well as a coveted Drake co-sign, the Dallas rapper and singer is carving a path to stardom. All of this considered, his debut mixtape U Made Me A St4r, which was expected to drop tomorrow (April 5), seems to be a promising project. However, 4Batz announced today that he will unfortunately be pushing the mixtape back a month.

Though this may be bad news for those who have been following the artist’s journey, 4Batz offers good reasoning for the delay.

“Been making some of the best shit of my life the last couple weeks,” said 4Batz in the caption of an Instagram post, “so ima push the mixtape to 5.3.24 so it can be perfect for yall.”

Though this may sound like a bit of a setback, 4Batz trusts that everything happens for a reason. In a recent interview for Uproxx, 4Batz told us that no matter what, he still envisions becoming the biggest artist in the world.

“I would like to be remembered as, the biggest artist in the world and one of the most humble people in the world who gave back and inspired people, and who you know was talented,” he said.

You can see the clip above.

U Made Me A St4r is out 5/3 via OVO Sound. Find more information here.
