Brantley Gilbert was pulled off the stage Friday night in Tupelo, Mississippi, for his baby’s birth — on his tour bus. Gilbert’s wife, Amber, went into labor during the Oct. 11 concert and delivered the couple’s third child on the bus.

“So last night might have been the craziest night of my life,” the country singer revealed in a post on Instagram the next day (Saturday, Oct. 12). “Watching such an amazing woman do such an amazing thing is something I’ll never forget.”

Gilbert’s update included a video that captured the wild birth story, beginning with the singer’s rush from the stage just after the concert started. He’s currently on the road for his Off the Rails Tour.

The proud parents shared a glimpse at the newborn in their first photos with the baby, which were added to the video, and the phone call Gilbert had with his mom: “How are you?” she asked, to which he replied, “Not as good as you are about to be. You got a new grandbaby.”

“She’s a freaking savage,” he said of Amber.

Gilbert, who just released his new album Tattoos last month, went back inside and finished the show, but not before relishing in cheers from the crowd when he announced, “We got a baby!”

The “Over When We’re Sober” singer added a note of gratitude in his Instagram post: “Thank you to our road family for rallying around us, Brittany Thornton for helping us bring this little dude into the world, Tupelo, Mississippi for showing us mad love and support, and most of all… Amber Gilbert, for letting me love you and showing me EXACTLY how incredibly strong a woman can be. I love you.”

Brantley and Amber announced they were expecting on Mother’s Day. The new addition to the family joins two big siblings, Barrett and Braylen.

Ye (formerly Kanye West) is being sued by a former assistant who alleges the rapper drugged and sexually assaulted her during a studio session he co-hosted with Diddy.

Lauren Pisciotta, the ex-assistant who filed the new lawsuit, previously sued Ye in June, when she accused him of sexual harassment, breach of contract and wrongful termination; a legal rep for Ye denied the lawsuit’s allegations.

Amended court documents were filed in California on Oct. 8 and first obtained by TMZ, according to The Hollywood Reporter, who reached out to Ye’s rep for comment.

Pisciotta, who worked for Ye for a year, claims in the October filing that she and an unnamed artist management client were invited to one of Combs’ studio sessions.

She says “drinks were served to her and others in attendance, followed by an announcement that everybody had to drink, if they wanted to stay.”

“After a few small sips of the beverage, poured at the direction of Kanye West a.k.a. Ye by a studio assistant and then served to her by Kanye West, Plaintiff suddenly started to feel disoriented,” the suit alleges. Pisciotta claims she got roofied. Pisciotta says upon waking up she felt “immense shame and embarrassment” but could remember almost nothing about what happened.

She alleges Ye brought up that night to her years later, telling her they “did kind of hook up,” and that he provided details about what happened.

Pisciotta, an OnlyFans model, worked for Ye first as an executive assistant and later as chief of staff for his companies.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is named in the amended case filing as co-host of the studio event on the night of the alleged incident. However, Pisciotta has not made any accusations against him.

Diddy is currently being held in a Brooklyn jail, awaiting trial after his Sept. 16 arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering.

Summer Walker‘s Finally Over It album, featuring a new single called “Heart of a Woman,” is on its way.

The new release was announced Friday (Oct. 11), but she hasn’t shared the official date of its arrival yet. Finally Over It (LVRN/Interscope Records) is Walker’s third studio album and the follow-up to her 2021 chart-topping set Still Over It, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

After encouraging fans to guess the title of her next album last week, Walker finally shared the answer in a post on Instagram. There, she also revealed Finally Over It‘s first single is “Heart of a Woman.”

“presave Heart of A Woman now!” she wrote in the caption of a visual teaser for the new music. She shared a pre-save link in her Instagram bio.

In the teaser video, Walker offers a glimpse at what’s to come. The Atlanta-born R&B hitmaker is seen at home, stepping out of the shower and into a hot pink robe, drink in hand. She plays voicemail left on her answering machine — and those messages hint at relationship trouble. She shatters the glass she’s holding.

“Damn, you gotta do me like that?” a man is heard saying via voicemail. “I was just helping my cousin with groceries. Hit me back when you can talk. I know you’re finally over it, but damn, let’s talk about it. I love you.”

Last year Walker was featured on a number of singles, including Usher’s “Good Good” and “Prove It” with 21 Savage, who brought her to the SNL stage in February to perform the track when he was musical guest. She also dropped her Clear 2: Soft Life EP, a second part to 2019’s Clear EP.

Check out Walker’s new music preview below.

Eminem‘s daughter Hailie Jade Scott has revealed the gender of her first baby.

During Friday’s (Oct. 11) episode of her Just a Little Shady podcast, the 28-year-old sat alongside her husband, Evan McClintock, to share the exciting news with fans. The couple used a gold-colored balloon filled with either pink or blue confetti to make the big announcement.

“I hope that showed,” Hailie said as she popped the balloon with a needle, revealing shreds of paper quickly falling to the floor. “It was blue! It’s a boy. We’re so excited.”

After the reveal, Hailie went on to explain her husband’s reaction after discovering he was having a baby boy. “When we found out, Evan was like, ‘They’re going to hunt with me, they’re going to go golfing with me. I’ve got a little buddy,” the soon-to-be mother said, adding her own two cents. “I was like, ‘OK, they’re still going to Target with me.’”

Hailie’s pregnancy was revealed in early October through Eminem’s poignant “Temporary” music video, during which she surprises the superstar rapper with news that he’s going to be a grandpa. In the nostalgic clip, Hailie gifts Em a Detroit Lions jersey with a No. 1 and he nearly breaks down when realizing the back of the jersey says “Grandpa.”

The emotions continued to pour out as the scene switches to a teary-eyed Slim Shady enjoying his first daddy-daughter dance with Hailey at her wedding earlier this year. There’s a final flashback to a heartwarming card Hailey penned for him on a Father’s Day when she was a kid.

“Thank you for everything you do and always being there for all of us girls. You truly are the best dad in the world. Love you forever + 100 million dollars forever and always,” Hailey wrote.

The Skylar Grey-assisted “Temporary” landed on Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) in July. The vulnerable track debuted at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

R. Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi is claiming in a new documentary that her father sexually abused her as a child.

Abi, whom Kelly shares with his ex-wife Andrea “Drea” Kelly, made the accusation in the two-part series R. Kelly‘s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, which premiered through the TVEI Streaming Network on Friday (Oct. 11).

“He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened. I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person that he would do something to me,” Abi, whose legal name is Joann Kelly, says in the episode. “I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”

In the second episode, Abi, now 26, claims the abuse happened when she was 8 or 9 years old. “I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she tearfully recalls. “And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.” She added, “from that moment on, I was a different person.”

Abi says she initially reported the alleged abuse to her mother in 2009, and a complaint was filed under “Jane Doe,” but the statute of limitations had run out. “They couldn’t prosecute him because I waited too long. So at that point in my life, I felt like I said something for nothing,” she said.

Kelly’s attorney Jennifer Bonjean said in a statement to People that the imprisoned singer “vehemently denies these allegations. His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services and was unfounded…. And the ‘filmmakers,’ whoever they are, did not reach out to Mr. Kelly or his team to even allow him to deny these hurtful claims.”

The disgraced R&B singer, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence after he was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges in 2021. In 2022, Kelly was also convicted of six counts of child pornography and enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity.

The first two episodes of R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey are currently streaming through the TVEI Streaming Network.

A founding member of the experimental rock band Mr. Bungle was found guilty Friday (Oct. 11) of first-degree murder in the killing of his girlfriend after prosecutors in California found an audio file the victim recorded on her phone as she fought for her life.

A jury in Santa Cruz deliberated for a day before finding Theobald “Theo” Lengyel guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of his girlfriend Alice “Alyx” Kamakaokalani Herrmann on the night of Dec. 4, 2023, inside her Capitola home, KSBW-TV reported. Lengyel faces life in prison and is set to be sentenced in November.

Lengyel, 55, was arrested in January after investigators found Herrmann’s remains in a wooded area of Tilden Regional Park in Berkeley. Herrmann was reported missing the previous month after she didn’t show up to a family gathering in Hawaii.

On Oct. 1, prosecutors played an audio recorded on Herrmann’s phone begging for her life as her boyfriend strangled her to death, KRON-TV reported.

It is unclear if Herrmann, 61, intentionally recorded the audio or if the app inadvertently recorded it.

District Attorney’s Office Inspector Steven Ryan testified that investigators did not discover the chilling audio file until Sept. 22, 2024, a month after Lengyel’s murder trial began.

The recording starts with Lengyel playing piano before growing angry at Herrmann because she doesn’t want to go out to play pool. Herrmann repeatedly says she does not want to go because she has to work in Berkeley the next day.

A few minutes into their argument, Lengyel can be heard threatening his girlfriend stating, “I could mash your f(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)ing brain.”

According to prosecutors, the verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation. Herrmann could then be heard pleading for her life, gasping for air.

Lengyel left Mr. Bungle in 1996 after playing saxophone, clarinet and keyboards on several recordings, including the band’s self-titled 1991 debut album and Disco Volante in 1995. He did not participate in any of the band’s recent reunion tours, which began in 2020.

Mr. Bungle was formed in Northern California’s Humboldt County in 1985 by high school friends including guitarist Trey Spruance, bassist Trevor Dunn and vocalist Mike Patton, who went on to perform with Faith No More. Mr. Bungle experimented with funk, heavy metal, electronic, jazz and other musical styles, gaining popularity during the alternative rock boom of the 1990s.

In a 2005 Q&A, Dunn said Lengyel left the band on bad terms, SF Gate reported.

Paris Hilton is taking fans on a journey through her ADHD condition in a visually stunning new music video.

In alignment with ADHD Awareness Month, the pioneering influencer shared her beautifully shot video for the song “ADHD” on Saturday (Oct. 12). The powerful ballad about was written by Hilton, along with Sia and Jesse Shatkin.

“Step into my world—where chaos becomes clarity. My new music video #ADHD takes you on a journey through the fragility and strength that make me, me,” Paris wrote on Instagram alongside visuals from the “ADHD” video. “Experience the beauty in the whirlwind.”

The Brian Ziff-directed video finds Hilton opening about her vulnerabilities with the condition in a colorful, neon-filled world that touches on her early 2000s life in the paparazzi spotlight alongside fellow stars like Britney Spears. Despite the challenges of living with ADHD, she ultimately found a way to use it as her superpower.

“Now look at me, I’m the best I can be/ I was so down, thought I’d never be free/ My superpower was right inside, see/ It was ADHD,” she sings .

In early October, the reality TV star got candid about her ADHD diagnosis in a personal essay for Teen Vogue.

“At first, being diagnosed felt like a label — something that boxed me in, defining me by what I couldn’t do, by what made me different,” Paris wrote. “It’s something I used to keep hidden, worried about how it might be perceived. Would people think I was too scattered, too unfocused, or incapable of success? But those challenges are just one side of the coin. The other side reveals something beautiful: creativity, passion, resilience and a mind that thinks in bold, unexpected ways.”

Eighteen years after releasing her debut self-titled studio album, Hilton returned to Billboard’s album charts with her follow-up project, Infinite Icon. Her new album debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in late September. The new set features A-list collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, Meghan Trainor and Sia.

For Infinite Icon, Paris recruited a team of top-level producers and songwriters to pull the project together. Shatkin is credited as a producer on all 12 of the album’s tracks. He’s previously worked with Sia, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus and Ellie Goulding, among others.

Hilton’s debut, Paris, reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in September 2006, and included “Stars Are Blind,” her first single that climbed to No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart a month prior.

A federal appeals court judge has ruled to keep Sean “Diddy” Combs locked up while he makes a third bid for bail in his sex trafficking case, which is slated to go to trial in May.

In a decision filed Friday (Oct. 11), Circuit Judge William J. Nardini denied the hip-hop mogul’s immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel weighs his bail request.

Combs’ lawyers appealed to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Sept. 30 after two judges rejected his release.

Combs, 54, has been held at a federal jail in Brooklyn since his Sept. 16 arrest on charges that he used his “power and prestige” as a music star to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in events dubbed “Freak Offs.”

Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges alleging he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.

At a bail hearing three weeks ago, a judge rejected the defense’s $50 million bail proposal that would’ve allowed the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer to be placed under house arrest at his Florida mansion with GPS monitoring and strict limits on visitors.

Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr., who has since recused himself from the case, said that prosecutors had presented “clear and convincing evidence” that Combs is a danger to the community. He said “no condition or set of conditions” could guard against the risk of Combs obstructing the investigation or threatening or harming witnesses.

In their appeal, Combs’ lawyers argued that the judge had “endorsed the government’s exaggerated rhetoric” and ordered Combs detained for “purely speculative reasons.”

“Indeed, hardly a risk of flight, he is a 54-year-old father of seven, a U.S. citizen, an extraordinarily successful artist, businessman, and philanthropist, and one of the most recognizable people on earth,” the lawyers wrote.

Combs’ lawyers have not asked the new trial judge, Arun Subramanian, to consider releasing him on bail. At a hearing Thursday, as Combs sat alongside his lawyers in a beige jail jumpsuit, Subramanian suggested he would at least be open to taking up the issue.

After setting a May 5 trial date, Subramanian briefly questioned Combs’ lawyers about his treatment at the Metropolitan Detention Center, which has been plagued by violence and dysfunction for years.

Combs lawyer Mark Agnifilo, who had previously sought to have him moved to a jail in New Jersey, told the judge: “We’re making a go of the MDC. The MDC has been very responsive for us.”

Another Combs lawyer, Anthony Ricco, told reporters outside the courthouse afterward: “He’s doing fine. It’s a difficult circumstance. He’s making the best of the situation.”

But, Ricco said: “Nobody’s OK with staying in jail for now.”

Nora Fatehi, a multicultural artist fluent in English, Hindi, French, and Moroccan Arabic, discusses her unique blend of music styles and dancing. She recounts her journey from Toronto to Bollywood, her collaboration with Jason Derulo and CK, plans for a 2025 tour and more!

Nora Fatehi:

Hi, I’m Nora Fatehi, and you’re watching Billboard News. So I think what makes me different as an artist, not only am I coming from India, not being Indian, being Moroccan, but being Canadian. I have all these three identities that make my brand Nora Fatehi, and it makes me a unique artist. And a lot of people globally from different parts of the world can relate to me and see a little bit of themselves within me. And I think with my upbringing in Toronto, being so cosmopolitan, I’ve been exposed to different styles of music from Dance Hall, Afro, Bollywood, Arabic, Hip-Hop. I’ve taken all that and I’ve injected it within my artistry. I also make sure the dance styles are very diverse. So in some videos, you may see us do afro. In some other videos, you might see us do belly dance. You might see us do strictly Bollywood dance styles. But I make sure that within the music that I put out, I also make sure visually, the dance styles are very diverse. And while doing that, I’ve gained a huge, large, diverse fan following that have fallen in love with the type of steps I do, the hook steps, the choreography. And I noticed on social media, people would dance to the music that I put out and copy the hook steps. And I’m like, “Oh my God, let me create a platform for them on social media.”

Peso Pluma is calling off his upcoming concerts in Florida amid the devastation of Hurricane Milton.

On Friday (Oct. 11), the Mexican superstar announced that he is canceling shows at Tampa’s Amalie Arena (Oct. 16) and Miami’s Kaseya Center (Oct. 17). Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will automatically be refunded. Both dates were part of Peso’s Live Nation-produced Exodo Tour 2024, which launched in May.

“Due to the natural disasters affecting the communities of Florida, Peso Pluma has announced today that he will cancel his Tampa and Miami Exodo Tour shows to stand in solidarity with those affected by the recent hurricanes that impacted the state,” reads a statement from Peso Pluma’s representatives. “In addition, with his label Double P Records and management Prajin Parlay Inc., Peso has donated funds to local hurricane relief organizations.”

The press release did not specify which hurricane relief organizations the artist, along with his record label and management company, would be supporting with their donations. Hurricane Milton has ravaged parts of Florida, leaving at least 16 people dead and millions without power at press time on Friday, according to CBS News.

The North American leg of Pluma’s Exodo Tour arena trek included more than 35 shows, with stops in major U.S. cities like New York, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Diego and others.

The 25-year-old artist’s breakthrough year was marked with 32 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, most of which he entered in 2023 alone. Peso’s history-making album Génesis peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart — the highest ranking for a regional Mexican album. He also took home his first Grammy earlier this year for best música mexicana album (including tejano) for Génesis.
