After announcing their new album, Let God Sort Em Out, with “Ace Trumpets,” Clipse kick their promo into high gear with the opulent video for “So Be It,” their second single.

Over a stringent violin sample, the Thornton brothers unload a string of cavalier boasts and threats that reveal their intentions to bait “smoke,” and let the chips fall where they may. Of special note is the foreshortened third verse, which fans on social media are sure refers specifically to Kanye West, with whom Pusha had apparently fallen out after previously going to war with Drake on his behalf.

You cried in front of me, you died in front of me
Calabasas took your b*tch and your pride in front of me
Heard Utopia had moved right up the street
And her lip gloss was poppin’, she ain’t need you to eat
The ‘net gon’ call it the way that they see it
But I got the video, I can share and A.E. it
They wouldn’t believe it, but I can’t unsee it
Lucky I ain’t TMZ it, so be it, so be it

Watch the video for Clipse’s “So Be It” above.

Let God Sort Em Out is due 7/11 via Roc Nation. You can find more info here.

Last September, Cardi B announced the birth of her third child after keeping the pregnancy a secret for months. This week, Cardi shared the first photo of her daughter, Blossom Belle, on Instagram, along with new photos of Blossom’s older siblings Kulture and Wave. The pictures were apparently taken during a family pool day, with Cardi and Kulture wearing matching swimsuits and posing by the pool, while Wave kicks back in a pair of jean shorts and Timberland boots (New York to core). Cardi also commemorated her second daughter by getting a matched set of Louis Vuitton X Murakami luggage decked out in cherry blossoms. You can check out the post here.

Now that she’s not pregnant anymore, Cardi claims her long-awaited sophomore project is “coming really, really soon.” However, progress on the album has been stalled due to features taking a long time, prompting her to explain, “I’m not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it’s like, come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Helloooo! Y’all don’t want to miss this opportunity. I’ll sing this sh*t myself! But I really need y’all, and I need y’all to hurry up, and I love y’all. I feel like nobody want to miss being on this album.”

In a recent Therapuss interview, Addison Rae revealed she has plans to tour in support of her new album Addison, adding, “I do really like performing. I don’t know, I think I was always wanting to perform, just in life, I think it’s always been so fun to me to be on stage and convey some sort of feeling to people. I grew up competitively dancing, so…”

At the time, she was hesitant to confirm her tour, but now it’s official: Today (June 17), Rae announced The Addison Tour. The trek runs from August to November and includes dates in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Ticket pre-sales start June 18 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general on-sale beginning June 20 at 10 a.m. local time. More information is available on Rae’s website.

Yeule released their new album Evangelic Girl Is A Gun a couple weeks ago, and at the time, they had some European tour dates lined up, too. Now they’ll be bringing the project to North America with newly announced Eva Girl Tour dates in September.

Tickets go on sale starting with an artist pre-sale on June 18 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general on-sale on June 20 at 10 a.m. local time. More information can be found on Yeule’s website.

Yeule previously said of the new album, “I wanted to bring homage to my life as a painter with this album. For me, [Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński] portrays so beautifully, with utmost care, the entities that crawl through his dystopian, tranquil landscapes. The nature of painting as a medium is a reflection of my emotions, both violent and gentle. A fleeting moment of time in my life, transcribed with paint and trapped in time.”

As early as last year, some have accused Sabrina Carpenter of cultivating a “Lolita” image, based on the infamous Vladimir Nabokov book (and later film adaptations) of Lolita, which describes a sexual relationship between an adult man and an underage girl. The allegations got even more specific a few months ago, when some noticed major similarities between photos from a Carpenter photoshoot for W Magazine and scenes from a Lolita movie.

Now, Carpenter has finally chimed in. As spotted by Pop Base, Carpenter responded to a TikTok post highlighting the accusations, writing, “i’ve never seen this movie. it’s never been on my mood board and never would be.”

Carpenter recently addressed complaints about the sexuality of her live shows, saying, “It’s always so funny to me when people complain. They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’ But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. Clearly you love sex. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can’t control that. If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers. I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I’m not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes.”

Over the weekend, The Weeknd (heh) debuted his new merch collection in partnership with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Football Club. The centerpiece of the collection is a soccer jersey nodding to the singer’s ongoing After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour, which made its debut during PSG’s 4-0 FIFA Club World Cup win over Atlético Madrid at the Rose Bowl on June 15th. The limited-edition jersey bears PSG’s iconic home colors and reads “Paris Los Angeles XO” on the back. Here’s how you can get the merch collection:

The jersey can be purchased:

– Online at store.psg.fr and xo.store

– In-store at PSG House, 8175 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA

– At Paris Saint-Germain’s retail locations

The Paris Los Angeles XO jersey is currently sold out, but PSG promises more to come from the collaboration in the future.

The ongoing collaboration gives just one more reason we may not have seen the last of The Weeknd, despite the singer’s many proclamations that he’s retiring the persona after the promo cycle for his latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. For a while, there, it certainly seemed like he might be moving on; the companion film to the album billed its star by his real name, Abel Tesfaye, and he suggested multiple times that he might use that name in the future. But, hey, if the people want The Weeknd, he seems perfectly happy to keep giving them exactly what they’re asking for.

Ava Max is lovin’ herself at the moment, and soon, fans will be able to love her live: Today (June 16), she announced a new tour in support of her upcoming album, Don’t Click Play.

The run of 16 performances starts in Los Angeles in September and runs for a month before closing in Chicago in early October.

Tickets will be available first with a Verizon pre-sale starting June 17, and additional pre-sales will run between then and the general on-sale beginning June 20 at 10 a.m. local time. More information can be found on Max’s website.

The dust is settling following the May release of PinkPantheress’ latest mixtape, Fancy That. Now she’s gone and kicked it back up: Today (June 16), she announced An Evening With PinkPantheress, a run of nine residency-style tour dates in North America.

The shows run from October to November and will bring PinkPantheress to Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland.

For tickets, an artist pre-sale starts June 18 at 10 a.m. local time, and sign-up for access to that can be found here. There will also be local and Spotify pre-sales on June 19 at noon local time. That will all be followed by the general on-sale beginning June 20 at 10 a.m. local time.

PinkPantheress’ latest project doesn’t include one song that runs for longer than three minutes. She previously explained of her affinity for shorter songs, “I was able to experiment and making short songs was just a result of me experimenting. A song doesn’t need to be longer than two minutes 30, in my opinion. We don’t need to repeat a verse, we don’t need to have a bridge, we don’t need it. We don’t need a long outro.”

This weekend, Gunna is giving back with the help of a pair of NFL stars. On Saturday, June 21, the Atlanta rap star will host 130 Frisco, Texas youth at the Youth Football & Empowerment Camp, in partnership with Distinctly HIS Ministries. The free event will take place at the Frisco branch of Sports Academy and offer life skills workshops, giveaways, and exclusive gear for all attendees.

In addition, Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu and Washington Commanders offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil will join Gunna in offering a Q+A session, and a gaming tournament.

In the press release, Gunna says, “This camp is more than just drills and plays, it’s about showing up for yourself and your future. It’s about committing to the grind, pushing through every challenge, and never quitting. This camp teaches more than football, it builds a mindset that won’t stop, driving these kids to keep going beyond the game, every single day.”

The “Won’t Stop” rapper has become almost as well known for his philanthropy as for his No. 1 albums DS4Ever and Wunna, establishing a free grocery store for students at his old school in 2022, complete with a “drip closet” offering fresh clothes and sneakers, and launching a $500,000 guaranteed income program for underserved families in the Fulton County area.

Leading up to this week, it was reportedly a close race between Alex Warren’s incumbent “Ordinary” and Sabrina Carpenter’s new single “Manchild” for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Well, the top 10 of the new chart (dated June 21) is out now and it’s Sabrina who took the lead position.

“Manchild” isn’t Carpenter’s first No. 1 single (it’s her second, after “Please Please Please”), but it is her first to debut in the top spot. It got there thanks to 27.1 million official streams, 14 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 20,000 sold in the United States from June 6 to 12.

For some linguistic trivia, it’s just the fourth song with “child” in its title to go No. 1 and the first since a classic: Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” in 1988. It’s also the 19th chart-topper with the word “man” or a variation thereof in its name.

Carpenter’s latest hit comes from her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend, which will release about a year after its predecessor, Short N’ Sweet. Of that quick turnaround, Carpenter recently explained, “If I really wanted to, I could have stretched out Short N’ Sweet much, much longer. But I’m at that point in my life where I’m like, ‘Wait a second, there’s no rules.’ If I’m inspired to write and make something new, I would rather do that. Why would I wait three years just for the sake of waiting three years? It’s all about what feels right. I’m learning to listen to that a lot more, instead of what is perceived as the right or wrong move.”
