After making a blockbuster comeback with Pink Friday 2 at the end of 2023, Nicki Minaj has been notably quiet on the music front in 2025 — but not without purpose. In a candid new interview for the May 27 issue of Vogue Italia, the rap queen opened up about why she’s taking her time before releasing a follow-up.
Despite having already laid down several promising tracks, Minaj made it clear she’s in no rush to push them out. What she wants is something deeper — something that truly represents who she is today.
“I’ve written a lot of songs that I think are great,” she said, “but I don’t want to rush it. I want the album to say something.......
Kendrick Lamar and SZA are rewriting the record books—again. Their latest collaboration, “Luther,” has officially tied Kendrick’s own mega-hit “Not Like Us” by spending 22 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The achievement cements the duo’s dominance in 2024–25, as “Luther” becomes only the second track in history to maintain that top position for such a stretch. It’s more than a chart-topping single—it’s a cultural moment, fueled by the emotionally rich yet sonically charged chemistry between two of music’s most dynamic voices.
SZA, who previously held the record with......
The rapper takes his trolling game up a notch, mocking the latest accusations against Sean Combs with memes, sarcasm — and AI fashion.
If there's one thing 50 Cent never misses, it’s a chance to troll — and his latest target is once again Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s currently embroiled in a sprawling legal case involving alleged trafficking and other serious charges.
In a new Instagram post, 50 shared an AI-generated image of himself standing outside a courthouse wearing a white tee printed with the phrase “Free Diddy.” But he didn’t stop at just visuals.
He paired the image with a screenshot of a headline referencing the shocking......
As Tory Lanez supporters call for his release, SZA is taking a stand — and reminding everyone where the truth lies.
SZA isn’t staying silent. The SOS singer has publicly defended Megan Thee Stallion as the rapper continues to face online backlash from fans of Tory Lanez, despite his conviction for shooting Megan in 2020.
In a powerful comment on a post by legal creator @theluncheonlawyer — who slammed Lanez’s legal team for using the media to push claims of “new evidence” — SZA voiced her disbelief at the ongoing harassment Megan faces.
“The density. I’m actually SO shocked at the amount of people fully comfortable bullying a woman......
Fifteen years after shaking up the mixtape world with Kush & Orange Juice, Wiz Khalifa is back with a long-awaited sequel that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. The Pittsburgh rapper—who helped define the “stoner rap” era of the early 2010s—proves he’s still evolving, still experimenting, and still driven.
“When I dropped the first one, I was living that life—hanging with fans, rocking Chucks and camo, sipping orange juice, smoking Kush. We were broadcasting a whole lifestyle,” Wiz reflects.
Kush & Orange Juice 2 isn’t just a callback—it’s a 23-track journey through the new dimensions of Wiz’s......
SZA is having a career-defining moment—and the numbers prove it. The R&B powerhouse has landed at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100, a rare double win that cements her place among music’s elite.
Her critically acclaimed album SOS has climbed back to the top of the Billboard 200, while her new single Luther—a standout collaboration with Kendrick Lamar from the album GNX—just claimed the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100.
This kind of dual dominance doesn’t happen often. Few artists in history have managed to top both charts simultaneously, and SZA’s achievement speaks to her unstoppable creative momentum and growing cultural......
SZA has done what few expected—she’s surpassed Adele. Her album SOS, released in late 2022, has now spent 85 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, overtaking Adele’s iconic 21 and claiming the title of the longest-charting top-10 album by a female artist.
And SOS is nothing short of a phenomenon. From its first day, the album resonated with millions through tracks like “Kill Bill” and “Supermodel,” delivering a sound that walks a fine line between emotional vulnerability and raw truth.
But SZA isn’t just a singer—she’s a creative force. She’s written for Beyoncé and Rihanna (with “Consideration”......

Aiming for History
Lamar is nominated in major categories including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year for his hit single “Not Like Us.” Should he take home eight awards, he would tie the record for most wins in a single year—currently held by legends Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
Close Contenders
Post Malone follows closely with eight nominations, including a nod for F-1 Trillion in the Album of the Year category.Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Shaboozey each earned......

Playboi Carti is back at the summit of the Billboard 200. His latest release, MUSIC, has reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the U.S. album charts for the third time, driven almost entirely by streaming. While overall units dipped compared to previous weeks—landing at 64,000 equivalent album units—the dominance of digital listening is clear: nearly 96% of the total came from streaming.
Streaming Keeps Carti on Top
Out of the 64,000 units, 61,500 came from streaming, amounting to more than 84 million audio streams. Pure album sales were modest at 2,500 units, with digital track sales (TEA) contributing minimally.
