Wiz Khalifa says he’s responsible for getting Snoop Dogg‘s kids high for the first time.

In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Sunday, Wiz Khalifa talked about his latest stoner album Kush + Orange Juice 2 and reflected on his monstrous career. Wiz recalled that during his time filming Mac & Devin Go to High School alongside Snoop back in 2012, he accidentally got the latter’s children high on weed.

“We were shooting High School, the movie, and [Snoop] was out of the trailer doing his part. And he came back in the trailer and was like, ‘Y’all little mother—-ers is high!’” Wiz recalled with a laugh. He had smoked with Cordae and Cordell, assuming they had already experimented with weed because of who their dad was. The two sons likely would have been around 18 and 15, respectively.

“I thought they had already smoked, though!” Wiz continued. “I’m like, ‘These are Snoop’s kids, of course they smoke!’ They got high with me first. Crazy.”

The hilarious story comes after Wiz previously admitted he attends his son Sebastian’s parent-teacher conferences wile stoned.

“Hell yeah, I’m pulling up stoned,” Wiz said while a guest on Call Her Daddy over the weekend. “They expect it. They know what’s up. It’s not like back in the day where you’re considered a bad parent if you smell like weed. I’m pretty sure my son smells like weed. Like I don’t know because I can’t smell it, but I’m pretty sure he smells like pot.”

One week after they claimed Coachella censored the pro-Palestinian messaging during their debut at the event, Northern Irish hip-hop group Kneecap ended their second festival date with strong anti-Israel sentiments.

The Belfast trio performed at the festival’s second weekend on Friday (April 18), closing their set by projecting strong messaging in support of Palestinians. “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” the projected messages read. “It is being enabled by the U.S. government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes. F–k Israel; free Palestine.”

Reportedly, Kneecap’s first weekend performance on April 11 was also set to feature the messages, though their sentiments did not appear. The absent messages were brought to the band’s attention after word that their chant celebrating the 2013 death of former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was not broadcast during the festival’s livestream.

“Not the only thing that was cut – our messaging on the US-backed genocide in Gaza somehow never appeared on screens either,” Kneecap wrote on socials in response to the incident. “Back next Friday Coachella and it’ll be sorted.” According to Variety, the Sonora tent’s performances were not broadcast for the second weekend of the festival.

Alongside the promised return of the messages, the trio also increased their sentiments for the second weekend. While their pro-Palestine and anti-Israel chants remained, the group also used their latest performance to tell the crowd “the Irish are not so longer persecuted under the Brits, but we were never bombed under the f–king skies with nowhere to go.”

This year’s edition of Coachella has not been lacking in terms of artists protesting Israel and sharing their support of Palestine. While Green Day have altered lyrics to reflect the plight of Palestinian children, names such as Bob Vylan and Blonde Redhead have also displayed Palestinian flags during their sets. In the case of the latter, the onstage event was soundtracked by audio of Mahmoud Khalil – the detained Columbia University graduate student currently being held in an immigration detention center following his role in on-campus protests.

Kneecap’s messaging has generated the most notoriety, however, with many artists and fans calling on Coachella organizers Goldenvoice and parent company AEG Presents to comment on the situation. The Hollywood Reporter notes that insiders have claimed Goldenvoice CEO Paul Tollett was “blindsided” by Kneecap’s actions.

In a post shared on social media, HYBE America CEO and former talent manager Scooter Braun – who previously staged exhibits in Los Angeles and Israel about the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel – defended Tollett.

“This is my friend Paul Tollett, the founder of @coachella,” Braun wrote. “He is someone who lives and breathes the festival community. He fights for artists and he fights for all people. When I invited him to the opening of the Nova music exhibit in Los Angeles, he was the first person from the industry to accept. 

“He came on his own time and spent five hours in the exhibit and then met with survivors of nova and invited them to the festival this year as his guest. He cried with them, he laughed with them, and he continues to advocate for them. 

“Let’s not lose sight of who this man is, and let us stand with him in this moment when a group, without his knowing, took advantage of his festival and created hate in a place that’s filled with love,” Braun added.

Snoop Dogg‘s mind-bending new “Last Dance With Mary Jane” music video arrived just in time for 4/20. Featuring guest Jelly Roll and a depiction of the late Tom Petty — the track samples a Petty and the Heartbreakers classic, “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” — the visual also includes Dr. Dre (who produced the song), the likenesses of Tupac Shakur and Bob Marley, and much more.

Off of Snoop’s Missionary album, the song is an ode to Snoop’s first and forever crush: “Mary Jane.”

“Don’t bother asking me to ever give my lady up/ Was about five years old taking my first puff/ It was love at first light, fell in love the first night,” he begins on the track.

Directed by Dave Meyers, the clip shows Snoop having a supposed last hurrah with his beloved marijuana after a visit with the doc, who’s just delivered some unfortunate news. “It’s my last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain,” goes the chorus. But as Snoop says: “Even before the fame, she was my novocaine, you know it ain’t ‘gon change.”

“Last Dance With Mary Jane” brings Snoop on a dreamlike dive into his past and an imagined future. It’s quite the journey — one that includes Petty strumming and singing alongside the rapper, an untimely run-in with 2Pac in the afterworld, and an over-the-top, trippy appearance by Jelly Roll.

Earlier in the day, Snoop got a kick out of a festive “when 420 falls on Easter Sunday” meme of himself as the Easter Bunny, which he shared on X.

Lana Del Rey‘s “Bluebird” tops this week’s new music poll.

In a poll published Friday (April 18) on Billboard, music fans chose the alt-pop icon’s gorgeous new ballad as their favorite new release of the past week.

“Bluebird” captured 62% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like Morgan Wallen and Post Malone (“I Ain’t Coming Back”), Addison Rae (“Headphones On”), Davido (5ive), Isabel Larosa (Raven), and others.

The lullaby-like “Bluebird” is the second offering from Del Rey’s forthcoming country-leaning studio album, which has yet to be titled or given a release date. Set over soft finger-picked guitar and piano, she gently croons about hope and heartbreak. “Little bird, bluebird/ Fly away for both of us/ For you have wings and I’ve no means to fly,” she sings.

Del Rey recently shared the song’s backstory in a candid video filmed on her way to rehearsal.

“I started humming this chorus to myself, with the words and the melody, a long time ago when I had been seeing someone for a very long time — and we hadn’t seen each other for a while, and he called,” she said in an Instagram clip. “And he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I was kind of excited, but I didn’t think it was a very good idea.”

She went on to describe the moment that inspired the track’s title. “All of a sudden a bird smacked in the double-pane window doors of my bedroom,” the singer recalled. “I was shocked, and I opened the little door and I saw this little, I think it was a little sparrow, little swallow, right there, and I just was so emotional — because you know when you just know that something is meant for you? Like sometimes I feel like nature has its own way of communicating with you, especially in extremely severe situations — not in a sacrificial way, just in a way just for you to know.”

“Bluebird” follows “Henry, Come On,” which placed second in last week’s fan-voted poll with 12%.

Del Rey is set to bring her country-inspired vision to the stage at this year’s Stagecoach in Indio, Calif., on April 25. The festival has teased her set as “a very special country set,” arriving the weekend after Coachella.

This week’s poll runner-up was Wallen and Malone’s collaboration “I Ain’t Coming Back,” which earned 12% of the vote. The Bible story track is one of 37 on Wallen’s upcoming album, I’m the Problem.

Ken Carson lands his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as the rapper’s latest project, More Chaos, enters atop the list dated April 26.

The set earned 59,500 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 18, according to Luminate — the artist’s best week ever. Of that sum, nearly 82% was driven by streaming activity. More Chaos is Carson’s first top 10 effort as well and follows two charted titles: A Great Chaos (No. 11 peak in 2023) and X (No. 115 in 2022).

More Chaos, released via Opium/Interscope Records, replaces Opium label founder Playboi Carti atop the Billboard 200, as the latter’s MUSIC moves to No. 7 after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1.

Carson is the third act in 2025 to land their first No. 1 this year, following Tate McRae (with So Close To What) and PARTYNEXTDOOR (with the Drake collaboration set $ome $exy $ongs 4 U). In all of 2024, there were five acts that got their first No. 1: Ty Dolla $ign (with the Ye collab Vultures 1), TWICE (With YOU-th), Sabrina Carpenter (Short n’ Sweet), Jelly Roll (Beautifully Broken) and Yeat (Lyfestyle).

With More Chaos earning 59,500 units in the latest tracking week, that marks the smallest weekly sum for a No. 1 album in nearly three years, since the May 2, 2022-dated chart, when Pusha T’s It’s Almost Dry opened at No. 1 with just under 55,000 units.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new April 26, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on April 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of More Chaos’ 59,500 first-week equivalent album units, SEA units comprise 48,500 (equaling 67.3 million on-demand official streams of the songs on the streaming editions of the album; it debuts at No. 3 on the Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 11,000 (it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

More Chaos was available in its first week as a standard 18-song album (on color vinyl and a widely available CD and in three deluxe boxed sets containing a T-shirt and CD) and in two widely available expanded digital/streaming editions that added three and four songs, respectively.

The rest of the top 10 on the Billboard 200 is fairly low-key, as Carson is the lone debut in the region. The Nos. 2-10 titles are also all former No. 1s. (The top 10 was last comprised entirely of No. 1s on the Dec. 9, 2023-dated list.) Kendrick Lamar’s GNX rises 5-2 with nearly 55,000 equivalent album units earned (up 3%), while SZA’s SOS climbs 4-3 with 53,000 (down 2%). The pair kicked off their co-headlining Grand National Tour on April 19 at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet is up two spots to No. 4 (52,000 equivalent album units; up 6%), $ome $exy $ongs 4 U falls 3-5 (nearly 52,000; down 8% — as the set climbs 2-1 on Top Streaming Albums for a fourth nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1); Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time ascends 7-6 (46,000; up 4%); Playboi Carti’s MUSIC falls 1-7 (45,500; down 29%); Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos is steady at No. 8 (nearly 42,000; down 2%); Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine falls 2-9 (40,000; down 29%); and Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM rises 12-10 (39,500; up 11%).
