The 2025 Grammy nominations were announced earlier this month, and André 3000’s instrumental album New Blue Sun scored a big nod in the Album Of The Year category. It remains to be seen if the project will secure the win, but in the meantime, André is busy preparing some new material to launch in 2025.

In an interview at Camp Flog Gnaw, André was asked what his 2025 plans look like, and he responded, “New music, for sure. New ways to distribute and express. I don’t want to pinpoint what it is, but I just want to express more. Put it like that.”

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Touré (as Billboard notes), Andre was asked if he has new material in the works, and he said, “At this point, I’m just trying to keep the momentum. There’s such a thing as creative momentum. The next stuff is very interesting, too. We’re almost a third — or halfway — into it. […] I don’t know when it will be ready. Who knows.”

Along with that, André also just shared an 11-minute documentary about the making of New Blue Sun, viewable here. He shared the video on November 17, which was the one-year anniversary of the album’s release.

Charles Barkley Joked They Have To ‘Go Back To Kissing Ass’ Ahead Of Their Move To ESPN

Over the weekend, some exciting news broke regarding the future of Inside the NBA, as ESPN is adding the beloved studio show as part of a new licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery. The show will continue to be produced independently by TNT Sports from their Atlanta studio, with Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and Charles Barkley remaining employees of WBD — well, so long as they get Shaq’s contract done — but they’ll be part of ESPN and ABC’s coverage of the Playoffs, Finals, and major regular season games.

That was stunning news to many fans, largely because ESPN has been trying to figure out how to create a competitor to Inside for decades to no avail, and the fellas have never been afraid of making fun of ESPN — particularly Barkley. Chuck has taken ESPN and their analysts to tasks a number of times over the years, and while I doubt that stops in total, he knows times are changing soon for he and the rest of the fellas. On Tuesday night, after the Spurs beat the Thunder in the late game on TNT, Chuck couldn’t help but crack a joke to Kenny Smith that they’ve gotta “go back to kissing ass” ahead of their move to ESPN next fall.

No one has been more outspoken over the last six months about the contract negotiations with the NBA than Barkley, sometimes to the chagrin of his colleagues. He’s been extremely vocal about his frustrations with TNT not keeping NBA rights and has noted his biggest concern is trying to figure out how to keep everyone at TNT employed. That mission seems to have been accomplished with this latest news of the show being licensed to ESPN, and he showed still going to be Chuck and poke fun at the new arrangement.

Vince Staples Gives Jayson Tatum A Piece Of His Mind In The Taunting New Jordan Commercial

Vince Staples isn’t afraid to voice his opinion regarding anything and anyone. No one is exempt from the “Little Homies” rapper’s blunt takes—not fellow musicians, fans, or content creators.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is the latest person to feel his humorous wrath. Today (November 19), Vince Staples and Jayson Tatum came face-to-face in a new commercial for the Jordan brand (viewable here).

Instead of using his beloved lyricism on full display, Vince channelled his words for another reason. As highlights of Tatum’s Championship season took over the screen, Vince gave Tatum a piece of his mind.

“What type of dude is Jayson Tatum,” asked Vince. “The type of dude who’d crush a team and then say some cold sh*t like, ‘We just played our game and the rest took care of itself.’”

As Vince pointed out, Tatum is a many of few words but when he does speak out against his opponents it cuts deeps. However, Tatum manages to keep a cool head or so Vince argued, saying: “The type that have a whole city and internet, booing him. And he’s just smiling.”

Before the clip ends, Vince has one more grievance to air as a long-suffering Los Angeles Clippers fan. “That sh*t really message me up, man,” he said.

Unfazed by it all, Tatum laughs off Vince’s monologue. In Tatum’s eyes, it doesn’t matter who hates him because his partner, singer Ella Mai and their child provides more than enough love to make up for it.

Cher Claims Sonny Bono ‘Took’ All Of Her Money As She Fights To Regain Royalties They Amassed As A Duo

Cher has put up a fierce fight for everything in her life. Her recent induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame certainly came with a few hurdles. During a recent interview Cher revealed that she also faced several financial struggles which she plans to dish all about in her upcoming tell-all, Cher: The Memoir, Part One.

In a sit down with The New York Times, Cher claimed that her famous ex-husband Sonny Bono “took” all of her money during her marriage.

“He took all my money,” she said. “I just thought, We’re husband and wife. Half the things are his, half the things are mine. It didn’t occur to me that there was another way.”

As she reflects on the alleged financial abuse, Cher wishes she expressed regret in nothing addressing it with her late ex. “To this day, I wish to God I could just ask, ‘Son, at what point, during what day, did you go, ‘Yeah, you know what? I’m going to take her money,’” she said.

Cher also claimed that Sonny secretly “arranged their finances so that Cher was working for him — an underpaid employee” listed under a company called Cher Enterprises.

While Sonny passed in 1998, according to Rolling Stone Cher still isn’t fully financial free of him.

Despite securing a victory in her Sonny And Cher royalty lawsuit against Bono’s widow Mary, opposing counsel have gone on to argue that Cher isn’t “entitled” to the finances.

Given this information, there is no wonder why Cher’s memoir is split into multiple parts.

Cher: The Memoir, Part One is out now via Harper Collins. Find more information here.

The Opposing Lawyer In Megan Thee Stallion’s Hostile Work Environment Lawsuit Has Reportedly Been Sanctioned

Back in April, Megan Thee Stallion was named in a salacious lawsuit by a former employee. In the filing, the “Bigger In Texas” rapper’s ex-videographer Emilio Garcia accused Megan Thee Stallion of lost wages, harassment, and fostering a hostile work environment.

After a few legal hiccups, there appears to have been an update in the case. According to documents (viewable here) obtained by legal journalist Meghann Cuniff, Garcia’s lawyer, Ronald Leonardo Zambrano, has been sanctioned by the presiding judge, US District Judge Gregory H. Woods.

Within the court documents, Woods called out Zambrano for missing the in-person pretrial conference despite receiving proper notification. Although Zambrano attempted to have to avoid the decision, ultimately the judge didn’t agree with his arguments.

Now, Megan has the chance to recoup legal fees for the missed conference. Through her lawyer, Alex Spiro, Megan can file the formal request before the December 2 deadline. According to Cuniff, these tally up to $6,000.

As far as Garcia’s lost wages, harassment, and fostering a hostile work environment case is concerned it will move forward. In addition to the filing, Garcia alleged that he was force to witness a sexual encounter with Megan and a woman as they were trapped in a moving car. However, Megan’s attorney has denied the accusation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

Taylor Swift And Kendrick Lamar Are Set To Reunite On A New Song, According To DJ Snake

There’s no bad blood between Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar. In fact, rumor says the two chart-topping musicians have secretly been hashing out some creative ideas in the studio. If you are a true Swiftie, it could be easy to dismiss these online whispers considering Kendrick had to re-record his “Bad Blood” verse for 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

But according to DJ Snake, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar sneaking around in the studio in connection to a new track. During a sit down (viewable here), DJ Snake found joy in leaking the news, saying: “World premiere.”

Given that interview was conducted in French, the English translation is a bit muddy. French-speaking Swifties say that DJ Snake declared Taylor Swift recorded a guest verse for Kendrick Lamar’s supposed upcoming album. While others argued that DJ Snake actually said that it is Kendrick who recorded a feature for Taylor Swift’s new body of work. Either way, if the rumor is indeed true, fans are eager to hear what they’ve cooked up.

Back in 2014, Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift came together for Swift’s fiery hit “Bad Blood.” The song proved to be a smash for both artists. “Bad Blood” became Swift’s fourth No. 1 song on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and Kendrick’s first career No. 1. Now, supporters are curious to see if they can do it again.

A Fleetwood Mac Documentary ‘Fully Authorized’ By The Band Is Reportedly In The Works

Since the heartbreaking death of Christine McVie, Fleetwood Mac fans have been left with several questions. Is the band officially done? Will they ever tour again? Fleetwood Mac’s surviving members (especially Stevie Nicks) have responded to most of their supporters’ inquiries with brutal honesty. Although it is unlikely that Fleetwood Mac reconnects, you can revisit their groundbreaking start.

According to Billboard, a documentary chronicling Fleetwood Mac’s journey to superstardom and beyond is currently “in the works” at Apple Original Films.

In the outlet’s report, it claims the forthcoming feature is not only “fully authorized” by the band, but they snagged a rather notable director. the creative mind behind several other moving musician documentaries (The Beach Boys, The Bee Gees, and Carole King and James Taylor), Frank Marshall is at the helm of the project.

Marshall opened up about the picture in a statement, saying: “I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about. Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

While Fleetwood Mac’s origin story is a central focus of the film, Marshall plans on examining the legendary group’s greater impact on music. Outside of the archival footage, viewers can expect to catch intimate conversations with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks as well touching footage with Christine McVie.

At this time, details surrounding the documentary’s title and expected release date has not yet been revealed. So, Fleetwood Mac fans are going to have to practice patience.
