In the past few years, Anuel AA rose up the ranks in the Latin trap scene alongside Bad Bunny. They have featured on each other’s albums.

Anuel AA is branching out beyond Latin trap and reggaeton on his next album as evidenced by the tracklist. LLNM2, dropping December 9, will include a whopping 33 tracks. Among the many collaborations, French DJ Guetta will feature on the song “Vibra” and Kodak Black will join Anuel AA on “Sufro” with Ñengo Flow. DaBaby will appear on the track “Wakanda” and Lil Durk was enlisted for “1ro.” Anuel AA also released a prison-themed music video for his latest reggaeton banger “Si Yo Me Muero.”

Last week, Anuel AA announced the news that he is expecting a baby girl with his wife, Dominican artist Yailin La Más Viral. Earlier this year, they teamed up for the steamy love song “Si Tu Me Busca.” They will regroup on his album for the song “La Máquina” alongside Jowell y Randy and De La Ghetto.

Rootin’ Tootin’ Lauren Boebert’s ‘History Lesson’ About ‘Nazis’ Is (Unsurprisingly) Not Working Out As Planned

Rootin’ tootin’ Lauren Boebert can’t stop herself from sarcastically tweeting, and people cannot stop themselves from responding. It’s a cycle, for sure, and it runs up against Boebert’s own reported discussion of how she received her GED after dropping out of high school. As I’ve mentioned before, there’s no shame in taking that path, but Boebert also set herself up for ridicule by proposing longer reading times for legislative bills before it’s time to vote. She also pushed back hard against student loan forgiveness, which didn’t inspire critics to join her cause(s).

There was also the time that Boebert confused John Adams (the 2nd president of the U.S.) and Samuel Adams (who was also a founding father, but is also a brewery’s namesake), which resulted in more pushback. Now, Boebert has tweeted a “history lesson,” which is a move that’s not likely to turn out well for anyone, let alone someone whose red-leaning district barely voted her into a sophomore congressional term.

The “lesson” followed Alyssa Milano’s declaration that she “gave back” her Tesla in the wake of Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. Subsequently, Milano “bought the VW ev” and tweeted, “I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model.”

Elon Musk found this information to be hilarious for a reason that Boebert echoed. “.@Alyssa_Milano traded in her Tesla for a Volkswagen because she says @elonmusk enables Nazis.” She added, “Really quick history lesson below:”

Boebert then tweeted a screencap of the first paragraph of a History.com article. Of course, the first paragraph doesn’t tell the whole story, which has been detailed at length by Jalopnik and includes decades of Volkswagen’s post-war shifts and redemptive moves, including recently (as Reuters reported) cutting ties with a distributor who apparently showcased “a wall decorated with an image of a Nazi celebration of the Beetle car.”

Let’s just say that the history of Volkswagen is complicated and not easily boiled down to a screencapped paragraph wrapped in a tweet. And people had their own “history lessons” to offer Boebert in return.

My “lesson” for the day: we should all tweet less and have more naps. Our stress levels will thank us in the end.

Adam Brody Is Having A Moment

Real Adam Brody fans have been with him through it all: seasons two through four of The O.C., Mr and Mrs. Smith, Thank You for Smoking, In the Land of Women, Jennifer’s Body, I could go on and on and on. Even more real ones went back and watched The Ring for his very small role as “Male Teen #1”. The actor made a significant splash in the early 2000s due to his role as Seth Cohen on the FOX teen soap The O.C. Seth was a comic book nerd who was adorable (adorkable, even, sorry to even say it) at the time but in retrospect, is kind of an insufferable whiner. Seth Cohen moans and complains when things don’t even slightly go his way, but Brody’s inherent charm made Seth seem like the most romantic guy on television, like the loneliest teenage boy in the universe who deserved the world when, in fact, he was pretty self-serving.

Fleishman Is In Trouble, the FX series based on Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s novel of the same name, follows Upper East Sider Alex Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg), who is amidst a nasty divorce with his ex Rachel (Claire Danes). The newly single Alex finds himself in a modern dating culture far removed from the one he was used to before his marriage. Seth, an old friend Alex lost touch with during his marriage, serves as a guide. Seth is played by Brody, who bravely took the role despite the character having the same name as the character that defines him.

Brody’s innate ability to make even the vilest characters relentlessly charming manifests in Fleishman Is in Trouble. Seth isn’t exactly an asshole but he makes grand statements that, if made by someone less appealing than Brody, would come across as insensitive and ignorant. For example, Seth says that no women on dating apps are 39 or 29. “There’s only 40 and 30,” he says.

In his first scene in the series, he orders a dish called the lumberjack with a side of grilled cheese, a moment that deserves to be commemorated. Later, he is shown eating the grilled cheese while making grand statements about why women have choke kinks now:

Adam Brody Fleishman Is in Trouble
FX on Hulu

While Brody was a 2000s heartthrob and while he has had a consistently respectable career, he didn’t exactly become a leading man. But over the past few years, he’s built up to a moment. In 2019, he appeared in DC’s Shazam!, and will return for the sequel early next year. Later that year, Brody was in the hit horror-comedy Ready Or Not, in a role that was perfect for him. In 2020, he officially became an FX boy with his small role as feminist Marc Feigen-Fausteau amongst some of the greats including Lydia Tár herself on the miniseries Mrs. America. Also in 2020, he led the extremely dark comedy The Kid Detective, in which he played a former child detective who in his adult life, comes across a missing person’s case and had a role in the Oscar-winning Promising Young Woman. Now, Brody’s back to being an FX boy on Fleishman Is in Trouble.

And suddenly, I find myself in a state of rewatching episodes of Fleishman Is in Trouble solely for Brody’s performance, and I am planning to see Shazam! Fury of the Gods solely for his performance. The power that he has. Adam Brody is having another moment, and I hope it never ends.

James Gunn Wants To Connect The DCU ‘Across Film And TV,’ Which Could Mean… A Lot Of Things

As James Gunn begins his tenure as the new co-CEO of DC Studios, the writer/director is continuing to be an open book when it comes to fielding fan questions on Twitter even while he’s busy promoting his second-to-last project for Marvel, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Over the holiday weekend, Gunn took some time to tease what he has in store for the DCU, which is apparently what we’re calling it now. RIP DCEU.

When asked if he and co-CEO Peter Safran are “planning to give more DC character tv shows that’ll add to the story for the DCEU,” Gunn made a pretty bold promise.

“Yes, most definitely,” Gunn tweeted. “The DCU will be connected across film and TV (and animation).”

That answer does cement Gunn and Safran’s recent promise that the DCU will deliver “one great overarching story” over the next 10 years and across several mediums including “film, television, gaming, live-action, and animation.” However, that is way easier said than done. To chagrin of Warner Bros. Discovery’s new CEO, DC Comics’ creative output has been wildly fragmented. The majority of its properties includes separate universes, and it will require some pretty sweeping changes to bring them altogether. It doesn’t seem like Gunn is ready to provide answers on that front.

Seeking a clarification, one user asked, “Will there still be some standalone animation or live-action shows that take place in separate worlds (like Harley Quinn)?” to which Gunn replied, “Yes, some.”

He had the same answer for DC’s fan-favorite slate of animated movies, which have existed in their own continuity. There was already a recent reboot in that realm, and it appears there may be another one coming down the road.

However, when it came to video games being directly connected to the DCU, Gunn gave a firm “yes.”

As for what all of this means, it’s hard to say at this point. Clearly, Warner Bros. Discovery wants a more connected cinematic universe like Marvel and has openly said as much. Gunn and Safran seemed poised to deliver on that front, but that could also involve making some sweeping changes like no longer allowing the animated projects to operate in their own universe. (Harley Quinn appears to be safe because, well, it’s freaking Harley Quinn.)

There’s also the issue of ongoing shows like The Flash, Titans, and Doom Patrol, which have all operated independently of each other. The Flash is already nearing its endpoints, but will Gunn’s plans involve winding those series down for more connected projects like Peacemaker?

Finally, there’s the elephant in the room: The Batman. The Robert Pattinson film and it planned spinoffs have also been operating in separate film universe, but will that be the case going forward? As the DCU goes for a more streamlined universe, will Battinson be left alone or will he have to shoulder being the Dark Knight to a wider franchise? It’ll be interesting to see as Gunn and Safran get ready to unveil their ambitious plans over the next few months.

Auburn Is Hiring Hugh Freeze, Who Most Recently Lost To UConn And New Mexico State

Hugh Freeze is returning to the SEC, as word broke on Monday that the former Ole Miss head coach and current Liberty head coach was headed down to Auburn after the school was unable to poach Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss.

It doesn’t come as a significant surprise, as Freeze had been rumored as a candidate at Auburn for months, but considering how his tenure ended in Oxford, with him being resigning in disgrace after committing various NCAA infractions as well as calling escorts on his university issued phone, it certainly didn’t take long for him to return to one of college football’s top jobs. Freeze has, as many will be quick to point out, won everywhere he’s been, as evidenced by an 83-43 career record, but while programs have been quick to succeed under Freeze, maintaining the level of winning Auburn expects has not been something he’s done particularly well.

Ole Miss peaked in his third and fourth seasons, going a combined 19-7 and reaching a high of third in the AP Poll in both seasons, but the next year he went 5-7 (helping lead to his ouster). At Liberty he quickly got them to a 10-1 year in 2020 with an NFL prospect at the helm in Malik Willis, but has stumbled to 8-5 and 8-4 seasons since, most recently suffering losses to UConn and New Mexico State in succession to end his tenure with the Flames.

It’s not a surprise that Auburn would overlook the off-field scandals and NCAA violations committed at Ole Miss to hire a splashy name, that’s how college football works, but even accepting that as the way the world works, there’s still an issue with this hire in Freeze not a coach with such a great track record that you can feel confident he’ll get Auburn to the highs they want to reach for anything approaching a sustained period of time.

Billie Eilish Finally Confirmed Jesse Rutherford Is Her ‘Boyfriend’ By Bragging That She ‘Locked That Motherf*cker Down’

For months now, it has been rumored that Billie Eilish and The Neighbourhood singer Jesse Rutherford are dating. Sure, they all-but-confirmed their relationship by walking a red carpet together and by wearing a couple’s Halloween costume, but now Eilish has officially called Rutherford her “boyfriend.”

In Eilish’s new sixth-annual installment of her “same interview” with Vanity Fair that dropped today (November 28), she was asked if she had a boyfriend and she responded:

“Yeah, I do, and… it’s really cool, and I’m really excited and I’m really happy about it. I managed to get my way to a point in my life where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f*ckin’ f*cker alive, but pulled his ass. Are we kidding me? Can we just [claps]… round of applause for me. Thank you. Jesse Rutherford, everyone. I pulled his ass, all me. I did that sh*t. I locked that motherf*cker down.”

She also reflected on what the yearly Vanity Fair videos mean to her, saying, “It’s just so cool to get to do this every year. I don’t know, I feel like… sometimes people are like, ‘You’re still gonna… you’re doing it… you’re gonna go back and keep doing it?’ And I just, I love… I just like it. It’s just like a really cool… ah, they mean so much to me. Every year, I watch these and I’m just like… ah, it just feels really… it makes me really happy.”

‘The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special’ Introduced ‘Swole Groot’ To The MCU

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special follows Drax and Mantis as they travel to Earth to find Kevin Bacon and bring him to Star-Lord, who misses Christmas while traveling the universe with a talking raccoon and a big tree. (More holiday specials should involve aliens kidnapping Earth celebrities — and talking raccoons.) The premise is the second best reason to watch the Disney+ one-off. The best reason: Swole Groot.

Look at my big happy boy:

disney+

When asked on Twitter if the reason that Groot’s head is “so big [is] because he’s still growing into it or because that’s just the way this Groot is and not at all like the slim OG Groot,” Guardians of the Galaxy writer and director James Gunn replied, “Well, YA Groot, or Swoll Groot, as we call him, is getting bigger, outward as well as upward. As you can see by now he has a different, stockier physiology (and a more outgoing personality) than his father did.” He added that Swole Groot is “100% computer generated.” You don’t get those kind of muscles without some kind of assistance.

Gunn also discussed Swole Groot with Entertainment Tonight:

“He’s jacked man, he’s jacked. I think he’s like the collegiate, like excitable football Groot. I think you can see now that he’s very much a different Groot than the original Groot”

The Mandalorian better not get any ideas. We do not want Swole Yoda, or Swoleda.

People Sure Have A Lot To Say About The Poster For ‘Cocaine Bear’ (The Movie About The Bear That Ate Cocaine)

Cocaine Bear speaks for himself. You don’t ask about Cocaine Bear, he presents himself to you. In your time of need, Cocaine Bear will appear out of thin, slightly powdery white air, to remind you that you should follow your dreams if you see something you decide you want to eat. In all of us, there is a Cocaine Bear, waiting for its moment to shine. Cocaine Bear is a legend that will be told for years to come, generations from now, we will all remember where we were when Cocaine Bear came to reign. And that time……….. is now.

Elizabeth Banks’ upcoming film Cocaine Bear will hit theaters in February, starring Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson, Matthew Rhys, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Ray Liotta in one of his last film roles. Today, we have gotten a first look at what exactly we are getting into here.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Cocaine Bear…what does it mean?” and that question simply cannot be answered in under 1000 words, so here is the short version: Cocaine Bear is based on a true story (!) from 1985 in which a black bear died after consuming over 70 pounds of cocaine (!!) that was found in a duffle bag that fell from a plane that was being piloted by a convicted drug smuggler (!!!) who died himself while parachuting out of the plane and ended up landing in someone’s driveway (!!!!). The bear was found dead, surrounded by 40 opened containers of cocaine. RIP Cocaine Bear.

But he was not forgotten. His light keeps shining, and he keeps inspiring hope. Cocaine Bear is the symbol of what can happen when you have a dream, access to a plane, and a ton of drugs. And also happen to be a bear. His movie will be an inspiration to others! It will be Peak Cinema! Just look at his impact.

The Cocaine Bear Era is just beginning! Just wait until he gets his ride at Disney Hollywood Studios in 2027!

Cocaine Bear will hit theaters in February 2023. Can you even wait that long?!

We Asked Bartenders To Share Their Favorite Bourbons To Sip Straight

There are a lot of bourbons on the market. Some were crafted to be sipped neat, on the rocks, or with a few splashes of water; some were created solely to be mixed with. A choice few nail both designations. While we could spend all day sorting bourbons into various categories, today we are most concerned with the first section: easy-drinking, mellow, sippable bourbons.

While there are many great bourbons well-suited to drink straight, there are certainly some that stand above others. But with so many options, it’s difficult to pick just one or two. Heather Wibbels, managing director of Bourbon Women in Louisville agrees.

“This is like asking me to choose a favorite child,” she says. “In general, the best bourbons to sip neat depends on the palate of the person drinking. We all know that finding that great bourbon is highly subjective. For me, the best bourbons to drink neat are the ones I sip with friends and family to celebrate a great occasion or tell a fun story.”

Since we understand how complicated picking the right sipping bourbon can be, we decided to go to the experts for help. We asked a handful of well-known bartenders and mixologists to tell us the best bourbons to drink straight. They didn’t disappoint with their warming, flavorful selections.

Angel’s Envy

Angel’s Envy
Angel’s Envy

Miguel Chambers, bartender at Broken Shaker at Freehand in New York City

ABV: 43.3%

Average Price: $55 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

I love port wine and I love bourbon so naturally, bourbon aged in Port barrels always has my attention and Angel’s Envy is my recommendation. It’s mellow, complex, and filled with flavor.

Tasting Notes:

It’s great to sip on because you get chocolate vanilla notes with hints of maple that don’t overwhelm or undermine the sipping experience.

J. Rieger & Co Bottled in Bond

J. Rieger & Co Bottled in Bond
J. Rieger & Co

Gui Jaroschy, partner at Unfiltered Hospitality in Miami

ABV: 50%

Average Price: Limited Availability

The Whiskey:

I am a big fan of J. Rieger & Co out of Kansas City. A few months ago, I tried their Bottled in Bond Bourbon which they will release more widely next year (in 2023).

Tasting Notes:

It’s big, fruity, spicy, and rich on the palate. It’s six years and it is definitely worth the wait.

Heaven’s Door Cask Strength Single Barrel

Heaven’s Door Cask Strength Single Barrel
Heaven’s Door

Cosimo Bruno, beverage curator at Daxton Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan

ABV: 62%

Average Price: $75 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

A bourbon that I am particularly high on right now is Heaven’s Cask Strength Door Single Barrel. It is very rich, forward, and full of personality. After breathing a bit, the full notes of the bourbon come alive and make this a great sipper to enjoy during a cool fall afternoon – or if you need something to help warm up during the winter months.

Tasting Notes:

Notable flavors of toasted coconut, chocolate, honey, toffee, cinnamon, and vanilla make this is a great sipper.

Calumet farm 15 Single Rack Black

Calumet farm 15 Single Rack Black
Calumet farm

Lori Leber, bartender at The Old Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, Kentucky

ABV: 52.5%

Average Price: $149.99 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

Calumet farm 15-Year Single Rack Black. It has a good profile for the palate. The longest aged of all of Calumet Farm’s expressions, all of the barrels come from the center cut rack in the barrel house.

Tasting Notes:

You get hints of vanilla and oak with occasional nut flavor. The cherries also allow you to get a fruit flow and make the drink smooth however you choose to drink it.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof
Elijah Craig

Heather Wibbels, managing director of Bourbon Women in Louisville

ABV: 60.4%

Average Price: $150 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is always a great pick for me. The high proof means that I can sip neat in the winter to warm myself up, and it does well on the rocks if I’m sipping in summer. It’s a complex, classic pour, and the higher proof means that it’s much more variable as you nose and sip it – there are more flavors to pull out and more aromas to detect.

Tasting Notes:

Each bottle is a little different, but every bottle tastes delicious, although we always have our favorites that we nurse along as long as possible. Caramel, oak, candied orange, and vanilla.

Weller 12 Year

Weller 12 Year
Buffalo Trace

Cody Kennedy, bartender at Juniper Preserve in Bend, Oregon

ABV: 45%

Average Price: $399 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

Weller 12-year wheated bourbon is the best sipping bourbon on the planet — 100%. Every flavor in the bourbon palate can be found in the Weller 12 year.

Why is it such a great sipping bourbon? Everything from mouthfeel to proof makes it elegant and decadent at the same time.

Tasting Notes:

Caramel, nutty, molasses, oak, but none in any overwhelming way. Everything works together in unison.

Woodford Reserve

Woodford Reserve
Woodford Reserve

Donny Largotta, beverage director at Gansevoort Meatpacking in New York City

ABV: 45.2%

Average Price: $45 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

The best Bourbon would have to be Woodford Reserve. This classic, surprisingly well-priced flagship expression from Woodford Reserve is well-balanced and complex.

Tasting Notes:

It contains subtle hints of citrus, cinnamon, cocoa, toffee, and caramel. In my opinion, it has one of the smoothest finishes of any bourbon I’ve ever had in my life.

Michter’s US-1 Bourbon

Michter’s US-1 Bourbon
Michter’s

Robert Kidd, head bartender at La Cavalier in Wilmington, Delaware

ABV: 45.7%

Average Price: $45 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

Michter’s Small-Batch Bourbon is a great spirit to sip on. The bourbon comes in a touch higher than 90 proof, that’s a nice, sweet spot for bourbon to be enjoyed neat. The small batch entry level is great, and there are plenty of other options for those that want to see what more the distillery has to offer.

Tasting Notes:

Michter’s small batch has a wonderfully rich inviting note and a great balance of sweet caramel and spice on the palate.

Elijah Craig Small Batch

Elijah Craig Small Batch
Elijah Craig

Nicholas Bennett, beverage director at Porchlight in New York City

ABV: 47%

Average Price: $39.99 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

I am drinking the Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon at home right now. I love the nutty and grassy aromas that are noticeable throughout. And if I am drinking it straight, I’m usually not reaching for anything too high-proof.

Tasting Notes:

Orange peels, vanilla beans, caramel, oak, and honey, are just a few of the flavors found in this popular expression.

Eagle Rare 10

Eagle Rare 10
Eagle Rare

Adam Montgomerie, bar manager at Hawksmoor in New York City

ABV: 45%

Average Price: $99.99 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

For sipping neat I really like Eagle Rare 10-year-old. It’s not quite as easy to find as it once was but it is outstanding value for money. It has great depth of flavor and complexity which makes it ideal for enjoying neat.

Tasting Notes:

Notes of caramel, honey, vanilla, apple, and ginger are all present and it also has a lovely long, lingering finish.

Henry McKenna Single Barrel

Henry McKenna Single Barrel
Heaven Hill

Matt Burnett, bar manager at Bellwether House & Folklore Restaurant in Savannah, Georgia

ABV: 50%

Average Price: $99.99 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

Henry McKenna Single Barrel. This sometimes hard-to-find bourbon checks all the boxes. It’s aged 10 years, bottled-in-bond, and single barrel. It’s produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, so you know it’s a good juice.

Tasting Notes:

Charred oak, burnt brown sugar, honey, and a touch of rye spice. While I usually search out complexity in a whiskey, Henry McKenna is just so perfectly balanced there’s no need to look elsewhere. And while it can be tough to find, when you do find a bottle, it won’t break the bank.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Woodford Reserve

Jack Beguedou, bartender at Proof 192 in Omaha, Nebraska

ABV: 45.2%

Average Price: $65 for a 750ml bottle

The Whiskey:

Woodford Double Oaked is a can’t-miss bourbon. The proof and flavor are completely balanced. It gets its flavor because it’s matured in two different charred oak barrels. The second barrel is toasted and only lightly charred to impart rich, memorable aromas and flavors.

Tasting Notes:

A lot is going on with this bourbon’s aroma and flavor. Nice brown sugar on the front palate, baking spice, and caramel note on the finish.

What Happened Between Saweetie And DJ Vlad?

After industry heavyweights such as Hitmaka and Sony Digital offered their thoughts regarding the low album sales of Saweetie‘s latest EP, The Single Life, YouTube personality DJ Vlad decided to chime in as well — only it didn’t go exactly as he planned.

The “Don’t Say Nuthin” rapper’s EP dropped on November 18 and reportedly only moved 2,000 unit equivalents in its first week of release. Many people faulted Saweetie’s team for not doing enough promotion and marketing, but others, including DJ Vlad, suggested that it’s the Bay Area rapper herself who is responsible.

The YouTube personality went on Twitter to share his thoughts regarding the situation late last week, writing, “If Saweetie did a VladTV interview, she would have easily done 10x her first week sales, which was 2000 copies,” said Vlad. “We actually reached out through one of our people and were told ‘she won’t do Vlad.’ Her loss.”

The Icy Girl wasted no time offering a response, revealing that she was actually a fan of VladTV, and even showed screenshots of episodes she had recorded on her phone.

“Actually, I been a big fan & have screen recorded my favorite episodes,” she wrote back on Twitter. “So if anyone ‘reached out’ it wasn’t to me or my team, Dj Vlad. Happy Thanksgiving.”

But the back and forth didn’t stop there.

DJ Vlad responded to Saweetie in a series of tweets, thanking her for her kind words but noted that when he reached out to her team, the rapper’s publicist turned him down. He followed that message up with a screenshot of a text message from Shirley Ju — a journalist who recently interviewed Saweetie — that read: “her publicist doesn’t like vlad. she told me she wouldn’t ever have her artists do it. i’m sorry.”

He later named the rapper’s publicist allegedly responsible, Warner Music’s Senior Vice President of Publicity Aishah White, before condemning label executives for “creating bad relationships with media outlets.”

The YouTube personality eventually apologized to the rapper, who has yet to respond directly. Saweetie did, however, send a cryptic tweet about a “hate parade.”

“hate parade… i must be that b*tch!!! ” she wrote.

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