At RUMBAZO 2024, latin singers like Arcángel, De la Ghetto, Luis R Conriquez and more answer who they would choose to spend 24 hours with in Las Vegas.

Arcángel:

I never had the chance to see Celine Dion live. And the other day I saw that she retired, right?

De La Ghetto:

Wow, with Arcángel, my brother. He’s here, but you know I got stuff to do tomorrow. If not, we’d party all night probably.

Luis R Conriquez:

With Peso Pluma. Like this. By the neck.

Octavio Cuadras:

If I’m going to spend 24 hours to have fun, I feel like I would match with Arcángel.

Lupita Infante:

With Majo, Camila, Chiquis.Imagine all of us in Vegas, that would be so amazing. 

Codiciado:

Marc Anthony. No doubt. Go grab a few whiskeys. And write some songs.  

Octavio Cuadras:

But if it’s with an artist that’s my crush. It will have to be with Billie Eilish. All week I can stay if she wants me to.

Tyga‘s 2018 summer smash “Taste,” featuring Offset, becomes his first diamond-certified record by the Recording Industry Association of America, the RIAA announced on Tuesday (Sept. 24).

Diamond certification is given to artists whose songs have moved 10 million units. According to the RIAA, one equivalent song unit is equal to a single digital song sale, or 150 on-demand audio and/or video streams.

“Taste just went diamond 10x platinum..Thank you to everyone that streamed it and twerked to it,” the rapper wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) along with a video of him receiving his RIAA plaque and posing with it alongside EMPIRE CEO Ghazi and COO Nima Etminan. “Get a #Taste of your first RIAA Diamond certification! Congratulations @Tyga on this incredible milestone!” RIAA wrote on response.

Offset was also happy to hear the news. “Man this big to me,” he wrote in response to a chart data post on X, adding in his own post, “Went diamond today God is good.”

“Taste” was the lead single from Tyga’s 2019 album Legendary, released via Last Kings Music and EMPIRE. Produced by D.A. Got That Dope, the single peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning the rapper his third top 10 hit on the chart after his feature on Chris Brown‘s “Loyal” in 2014 and “Rack City” in 2012, and No. 7 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and topped Rhythmic Airplay for four weeks.

Tyga is currently supporting the second leg of Nicki Minaj‘s Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

Mexican group Los Ángeles de Charly earn their first No. 1 on a Billboard radio chart – and any Billboard song ranking – with “El Primer Tonto,” which climbs 7-1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay ranking (dated Sept. 28). The Carlos Becies-led ensemble previously hit No. 1 on Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums in 2001 with its third studio album, Te Voy a Enamorar.

“Thank, thank you, thank you,” Becies tells Billboard. “I’m a bit nervous and super grateful with all the support with this song and all the people who were part of this beautiful project. It’s a beautiful surprise for us a group that motivates us to keep on going.”

“El Primer Tonto,” originally composed and released by Mexican group Los Freddy’s in 1980, was later popularized by Joan Sebastian who secured a No. 7 high with the song on Regional Mexican Airplay in January 2002.

With its romantic cumbia turn, “El Primer Tonto,” released June 7 via VMG/Colmena/Azteca Records, takes Los Ángeles de Charly to their first No. 1 on a radio ranking thanks to a 47% surge in audience impressions, to 6.6 million, earned in the U.S. for the tracking week of Sept. 13-19, according to Luminate.

Thanks to “El Primer Tonto,” imprints VMG and Colmena secure their first No. 1 on any Billboard chart. In addition to the two imprints, the “El Primer Tonto” triumph also gives Azteca Records its second champ as a label, following La Fiera de Ojinaga’s one-week reign on Regional Mexican Airplay with “La Luna de Miel” in August 2022.

Los Ángeles de Charly’s first champ on Regional Mexican Airplay arrives 20 years after their last top 10, when “Y Qué” reached No. 10 high in May 2004. In sum, the Mexican cumbia group have logged six top 10s since 1999, with the No. 4-peaking “Un Sueño” in 2001 their highest-charting song until now.

Elsewhere, “El Primer Tonto” advances to its No. 3 peak on the overall Latin Airplay tally, where Los Ángeles de Charly earn their first top 10 to date.

The song is part of the group’s forthcoming studio album to be released in December 2024.

One of the shooters involved in Young Dolph‘s murder testified on Monday (Sept. 23.)

Cornelius Smith, who pled guilty to murder, took the stand and implicated himself, Justin Johnson, Hernandez “Quett” Govan and Yo Gotti‘s brother Anthony “Big Jook” Mims in the murder of the beloved Memphis rapper.

Smith testified that Govan organized the hit and Mims put up $100K if they were able to get the job done. Smith said he and Johnson were supposed to receive $40,000 each and Govan was going to get $20,000. However, Smith testified that he only received $800, but Big Jook paid $50,000 in lawyer fees after he was caught.

He also revealed he and Johnson went ahead with the murder on the same day of his daughter’s birthday. When asked why he choose still go through with it, Smith said he needed the money to make his daughter’s day special. “Man, I was trying to make it right for her,” he said. “I ain’t have no money, I’m trying to get some money that day. So I’m trying to make sure my baby girl have a beautiful birthday.”

According to testimony, Smith and Johnson originally planned on carrying out the murder at an annual Thanksgiving turkey drive Dolph organizes, but they spotted his camo-wrapped Corvette and decided to follow him into the parking lot of Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies where they allegedly shot Dolph 22 times.

When asked why he decided to tell the truth, Smith said he felt guilty after being arrested and he sobered up, blaming his drug use on the death of his 9-year-old son in 2020. He also said that he wasn’t expecting leniency and was doing talking to clear his conscience. “I’m going to jail anyway. I can get it off my chest,” he said. “It’s my best out to be honest, to be truthful. Why play with these folks? They already know.”

Big Jook was murdered earlier this year in January.

The Kansas City Chiefs are 3-0 so far this NFL season, but some fans are still disappointed with tight end Travis Kelce‘s performance at the Atlanta Falcons game Sunday (Sept. 22). With some of them finding a way to blame it on his superstar girlfriend, however, Whoopi Goldberg is speaking up in Taylor Swift‘s defense.

Related

On the latest episode of The View Tuesday (Sept. 24), the talk show host cut right to the chase. “They apparently forgot that they won a Super Bowl last year with [Kelce], and [he and Swift] were just as tight then as they are now,” she said. “Grow up, y’all. Stop putting this on her. Your team is fine, your team is doing well. Shut up.”

Though Kelce indeed had a quiet game on Sunday night, notching four receptions for 30 yards and no touchdowns in a nail-biting finish against the Falcons, the Chiefs were still able to win 22-17. Swift was not in attendance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday, but she has been present at Kansas City’s first two home games of the season.

“She wasn’t even at the game,” pointed out cohost Sunny Hostin. “Is she supposed to play the game too?

“I also love how we’re acting like Taylor Swift is like a magic 8 ball,” added cohost Alyssa Farah. “She can’t magically affect his game.”

The Sister Act star also shared her personal theory as to why Swift is experiencing backlash: her recent endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. “I’m blaming MAGA,” Goldberg said before subtly bringing up Republican opponent Donald Trump. “They’re mad that she is not supporting You Know Who.”

Despite the team insisting that Swift’s presence in the Chiefs universe has only been positive, Sunday’s game is hardly the first time football fans have pointed fingers her way. In January, retired Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre suggested that the 14-time Grammy winner would be seen as a “distraction” if Kansas City didn’t win this year’s Super Bowl (they did the following month), and the NFL received so much negativity for its inclusion of Swift in game-day coverage that the league made a statement defending itself last year.

Watch the ladies of The View stick up for Taylor Swift below.

Ryan Murphy loved working with Travis Kelce on his upcoming series, Grotesquerie.

“It was very unexpected,” the TV writer shared with ET of writing a role specifically for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. “I didn’t know Travis and I thought we were having a general meeting, but he was so passionate about wanting to try it, and I always have a theory that ‘a star is a star is a star.’ He’s a big star in every arena. I was just moved by it and his ambition and he’s guy who wants to try new things. I said, ‘Well, I don’t know if I have anything now.’ Then, I thought about it and I did and I called him back and I pitched him, and expanded it and wrote it for him.”

He continued of the athlete, “I love his discipline […] He was a little nervous at first, but we worked together and had a ball. He’s just the most delightful person.

In the show, “a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community,” per the description. “Detective Lois Tryon [Niecy Nash-Betts] feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan. However, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.”

Grotesquerie is the latest in Kelce’s growing list of entertainment gigs off the Kansas City Chiefs’ field.  Prime Video confirmed earlier this year that Kelce is slated to host its upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? The series will feature contestants using celebrities to help with 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000.

The show hits FX and Hulu starting on September 25.

Billie Eilish is further distinguishing herself as one of the most environmentally forward thinking artists in music through a new partnership with Google Maps.

As part of Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, which launches Sept. 29 in Quebec City, fans can use Google Maps to find eco-friendly transportation and plant-based food options in many of the places the 43-city world tour is hitting.

Through Maps, Eilish will offer tips for fans looking for sustainable travel options like fuel efficient routes, walking, bike-sharing and public transportation. In each city, Google Maps will offer a walking or public transit route if it’s as convenient and fast as driving in each tour stop city.

Eilish will also offer recommendations on where fans can grab a plant-based meal in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Fans can simply search for one of these tour cities in Maps and scroll down to find Eilish’s picks.

“I am so excited to see you all at my shows over the coming months, and for us to work together in reducing our collective footprint when it comes to transportation and what we eat,” Eilish says in a statement. “Every action matters, no matter how big or small, and together we can truly begin to heal our beautiful planet. Thanks to Google Maps, everyone will have easy access to resources that will help you make great sustainable choices when you come to my shows. Thank you for caring. See you soon!”

In an interview with Billboard earlier this year, Eilish and her mom Maggie Baird, the founder of Support + Feed, which encourages access to plant-based foods, spoke about incorporating sustainability measures into Eilish’s career.

“It’s a never-ending f–king fight,” Eilish said. “As we all know, it’s pretty impossible to force someone to care. All you can do is express and explain your beliefs, but a lot of people don’t really understand the severity of the climate [crisis]. And if they do, they’re like, ‘Well, what’s the point? We’re all going to die anyway.’ Believe me, I feel that way too. But ‘what’s the point’ goes both ways: ‘What’s the point? I can do whatever I want. We’re all going to die anyway.’ Or, ‘What’s the point? I might as well do the right thing while I’m here.’ That’s my view.”
