Beyoncé‘s Renaissance era is about love in all forms, and in an open letter alongside the freshly released album, the superstar dedicated the 16-song set to her children, her husband, and her family as well as LGBTQ+ “pioneers” — particularly her late Uncle Johnny.
“A big thank you to my Uncle Jonny,” the letter reads. “He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as inspiration for this album. Thank you to all of the pioneers who originate culture, to all of the fallen angels whose contributions have gone unrecognized for far too long. This is a celebration for you.”
In response to the sweet dedication, Bey’s mother Tina Knowles took to Instagram to share her own memories with her beloved nephew. “This dedication was beautiful ! It included my Nephew Johnny on this photo with me when I am 38 years old he is 40 we are at a club he made this dress for me it was so cute!” she wrote alongside a photo of the open letter.
She continued, “Johnny was the closest human being in the world to me we were inseparable growing up ! Later He was my nanny / housekeeper / designer / Dance partner / confident and bestie. I laughed constantly with him and trusted him unconditionally! When he died a piece of me went with him . Solange and Beyonce worshiped him . He helped me raise them. And influenced their sense of style and uniqueness!”
Knowles went on to reveal that Johnny made Beyoncé’s prom dress, which the singer references in Renaissance track, “Heated,” when she chants, “Uncle Johnny made my dress/ That cheap Spandex, she looks a mess.”
“I got so teary eyed,” Knowles said of the lyric. “You see Johnny loved house music ! And introduced my kids to it early on. He is smiling from Heaven at Bey right now ! Saying you did that Ms Thing !! We love you Johnny and we miss you constantly . Wish you were here to dance with me we would tear it up!!!”

The Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa Valley, Calif., kicks off Friday (July 29) with host Dave Chappelle and Grammy-winning instrumentalist Robert Glasper as artist in residence.
“This festival came from the thread of my residency at the Blue Note that I do every October,” Glasper says of his stay at the famed NYC jazz club. “You can expect the music to be real and honest, created by people who are pushing the envelope.”
The intimate three-day experience will include iconic acts like Snoop Dogg, Yasiin Bey & Talib Kweli, Maxwell, Corinne Bailey Rae, Erykah Badu, Chaka Khan and newer names on the scene like D Smoke and Alex Isley. “I’m most excited about Snoop. It’s going to be super dope,” Glasper says, adding, “I hope I can breathe with all of the weed smoke that will definitely be in the air.”
Taking place at the Charles Krug Winery, the festival will feature three stages with 12 bands per day, marking the first outdoor, multi-day and multi-stage event for the Blue Note Entertainment Group. “The festival capacity is exactly where I want it to be — not too big, not too small,” says Blue Note Entertainment president Steven Bensusan. “It’s kind of mimicking our small jazz clubs in terms of the intimacy that we hope to achieve on all our stages.”
The festival kicks off with musical collective Dinner Party (Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper & Kamasi Washington) and Snoop, plus a live recording of the Midnight Miracle podcast, in partnership with subscription podcast network Luminary. After the festival sold out in six hours, an additional day was added and a limited amount of three-day general admission tickets were made available, priced at $610. “We’re hoping there’s going to be a lot more than what you see reading the lineup,” Bensusan says. “We anticipate a lot of impromptu [performers] just getting up onstage with other other bands, like what we do at our clubs.”
The Blue Note Entertainment Group currently has 10 jazz clubs around the world, spanning from New York City to Milan, with plans to expand further into Europe, Bensusan tells Billboard. “We’re looking at opportunities in London and we hope to get a Los Angeles location open in the next year,” he adds. Blue Note also plans to create an East Coast version of the Napa Valley-based festival in future years.
Glasper, who released his single “All Masks” alongside Jamaican-born artist Masego on Friday, says the festival is his “playground” and a “dream come true,” adding, “This festival represents out-of-the-box things, influencers, trailblazers — people that don’t feel the need to succumb to normality of popular music. More and more of those kinds of people are popping up and finding the courage to be the artist that represents that.”

Tyga has removed his “Ay Caramba” music video following criticism over the clip’s offensive Mexican-American stereotypes.
During an interview with LA’s Power 106 radio station (watch below), the rapper explained that he worked with a Mexican sound engineer to record the song and has “always done Latin records.”
“I started seeing a lot of people offended on it and I was kind of confused, so that’s why I didn’t respond and took time … to do my research a little bit and tried to ask a lot of my friends that I grew up with that are Mexican [for their opinion],” he told the radio hosts.
He brought up his involvement in YG’s “Go Loko,” which Tyga is featured on, as “paying homage” to the Latin community without “any disrespect in it.”
On the new controversy, Tyga continued, “It’s hard because I grew up my whole life in Mexican culture being in LA, so it’s kind of hard to separate the two. But this video, I can understand. … It was meant to be a funny video but not make fun of… That’s what I want people to understand. This video was not to make fun of Mexican culture or Latin culture.”
The deleted video — which has been up on YouTube for more than a week and was only pulled down after the radio interview — saw Tyga in a fat suit playing a character named “Gordo” eating tortilla chips, driving a lowrider and effecting a fake accent. He also played the host of a TV dance competition show with a fake mustache and a dancer named “Spicy Rico.”
Tyga explained that he “definitely didn’t have any intentions to offend anybody.” He said that apologizing about the music video is “important to me… if anything, I’m hurt if they’re hurt.”
Tyga explained that his character in the now-deleted video was supposed to be a “childlike kind of character that loves junk food. He loves watching the shows he loves watching.”
“I had no intentions of offending anybody,” Tyga said overall. “If people are offended, I really apologize.”
