Megan Thee Stallion already has her sights set on a new project in 2025. On Tuesday (Dec. 18), the Houston Hottie teased Act: III with a tantalizing tweet.

“Real Hot Girl S–t ACT 3 2025 … be ready hotties,” she wrote on X. The tweet came in response to one of her fan accounts showcasing her various looks from ad campaigns and award shows throughout what was a busy 2024 for Meg.

The Hotties were thrilled to hear there’s more music on the way for ’25 from the Grammy-winning rapper. “ALREADY TEASING ACT 3 OMMMGGGG,” one fan tweeted, while another added, “Hot girl productions, head of the label Nothing but hits comin out of the stable! we’re readyyyyyyyyy to be fed AGAIN.”

Megan Thee Stallion released her Megan album in June, which debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and then spun the block for Act: II in October with features from RM, Flo Milli, Spiritbox and Twice.

In other Megan news, she recently filed a restraining order against Tory Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson), who she alleges in the petition is continuing to “terrorize her” from behind bars after being sentenced to a decade behind bars for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot following a 2020 party.

A petition was filed with the Los Angeles court system on Tuesday, and claims Lanez has been conspiring with individuals on the outside to “harass, bully, and antagonize” the artist (real name Megan Pete) with misinformation.

“Mr. Peterson’s attempts to retraumatize and revictimize Ms. Pete recognize no limits — indeed, they continue even while he is behind bars,” Megan’s attorney wrote. “While Mr. Peterson distorts and recklessly disregards the truth in his desperate attempt to appeal his conviction, his false assertions have reignited a slew of negative, harmful, and defamatory comments directed to Ms. Pete.”

Celine Dion paid tribute to her late husband René Angélil on what would have been the couple’s 30th wedding anniversary on Tuesday (Dec. 17). In a post that included a throwback black and white picture of the two from their wedding day, Dion wrote, “You still fill our hearts, every day. You are everything to us. We miss you so much. Happy 30th anniversary, mon amour!”

The post was signed by the singer and the couple’s three children, René-Charles, 23, and 14-year-old twins, Nelson and Eddy; check it out here. In the photo from the couple’s 1994 wedding, Dion, 56, is wearing an ornate, bejeweled headpiece connected to her flowing veil and is seen staring deeply into Angélil’s eyes as she lays her hands on the sides of his face.

The post drew a number of messages of support from Dion’s music industry peers, including her former boss, ex-Sony Music Entertainment CEO Tommy Mottola, who wrote, “Rene.. was one of the greatest men that I have ever known!! he was your guiding light,” while singer Debbie Gibson said, “sending love.”

Angélil — who was a pop singer himself in the 1960s when he performed with the group Les Baronets — died of throat cancer in January 2016, just days before what would have been his 74th birthday. The singer first met Angélil she she sang for him in an audition when she was 12, after which he became her manager and mortgaged his house to fund the pre-teen’s first record.They began dating seven years later in 1987 when Dion was 19-years-old. Their lavish ceremony at Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica on Dec. 17, 1994 was broadcast live on Canadian television.

The most listened-to artist in Italy in 2024 (according to Luminate) does not, exactly, rap in Italian. Naples’ own Geolier raps in his native dialect — the very musical language spoken on the streets of his neighborhood, Rione Gescal, and now spoken by kids in every corner of Italy who, through Geolier, have learned it.

For the 24-year-old artist born Emanuele Palumbo, that devotion has added up, in the past year alone, to three consecutive sold-out shows at Naples’ Maradona Stadium; a historic appearance bringing the Neapolitan dialect for the first time to the Sanremo Festival, the most important music event in Italy; and triple-platinum certification for his song “Dio Lo Sa,” released in June. Five years after his debut album, Emanuele, Geolier is clearly still taking in this success — as is evident in the way he pauses to reflect on his words in conversation, in his broad smiles in response to compliments and in his lyrics portraying a young man who takes everything (except himself) seriously. He spoke to Billboard Italia about how he arrived here.

Did you always know you would be a rapper?

I didn’t always know this because as kids you can’t predict the future. Obviously I hoped so and imagining myself onstage was the only thing possible, because I didn’t know how to do anything else and I did poorly at school. But I would never have bet on myself. I started working in a factory at a very young age, I continued to rap in my free time, but I saw that [acceptance for the genre was] really far away in Italy. Only pop songs were on the radio back then. I loved rap because I looked up to America, but the maximum that was played in Italy was “In Da Club” on MTV. I admired 50 Cent; I felt close to him.

What did you think you had in common with him?

I saw the film about his life [the semi-autobiographical Get Rich or Die Tryin’], where it is clear that he had taken all the responsibility of the family on his shoulders. He sold crack on the streets of Queens; I never did it, but I started working very young. I found an extraordinary maturity in him and this fascinated me.

When did your own personal turning point come, realizing this could potentially be your career?

I realized I could do this job when they paid me for my first live show. It was about 250 euros but for me it was a lot of money — I was 18 years old. However, I couldn’t say when I reached what can be defined as a milestone.

Why is this incredible boom in Neapolitan rap happening today?

I come from the ghetto of the ghetto. I think there is a unique realness here; perhaps it’s only possible to find it [elsewhere] in the United States. I think rappers in this city put what they see into their lyrics. The culture of Southern Italy is more known internationally than that of Italy as a whole, also, thanks to TV series such as The Sopranos.

2024 was an incredible year for you, but you experienced some tougher moments as well. At the Sanremo Festival you won the covers night, but the live audience booed you and your guests.

We were there and just tried to defend ourselves. That same night they immediately told me to be careful of potential criticism. I believe that the Sanremo Festival was not ready for rap music; we brought an iconic song for Italy, “Brivido” by Guè featuring Marracash, and the audience booed. Incredible.

Your mother was also in the audience. Did this make it especially painful?

It made me smile, actually. She was furious because she couldn’t do anything, and she wouldn’t even talk to me about it. Even today, when we talk about Sanremo, she has bad memories — but my mother is a normal person and absolutely doesn’t want to be part of the star system.

Were those three sold-out concerts at Maradona Stadium the peak of 2024 for you, or was it something else?

Sure, but I’d say a moment in particular [was] when before the first [of those shows], in the afternoon, I looked through a crack and saw the stadium full. At that moment I thought: “What am I doing?” It was neither a positive nor negative emotion, I had simply never felt it. And I can’t explain it.

How do you still stay connected to your roots in your old neighborhood?

I think I do simply because I tell what I see in Naples. I’ll continue to do so even if I have to move away from the city, which is very unlikely. I don’t live that differently now: I continue to see my friends and talk to people. I feel the need also because I want to [be true] with my lyrics. Do you know what normal people tell me the most? Not to take selfies but to remain myself.

If you could choose an American artist to collaborate with, who would they be?

50 Cent. I started making music because of him. But right now I’m also listening to Kendrick Lamar’s new album and I like it a lot.

What do you have coming in 2025?

I just want to do the arena tour, which will start in March, and the two dates at Ippodromo di Agnano in Naples. I don’t think I’ll release new music, apart from some collaborations. I would like to slow down a bit. I think I’ve done a lot, [and] I want to experience this as a game. Because with all the numbers and deadlines, sometimes it seems to have become a routine job. And I surely don’t want that.
