Fetty Wap is back. The “Trap Queen” rapper announced his new album Zavier on Monday (March 16). It will serve as his first LP since being released from prison in January.

“I’m just happy and grateful to be back and thankful that my fans didn’t forget about me. I’m so thankful to my family, fans and team for holding me down,” Fetty said in a statement about the project. “This new music is a reflection of a new chapter in my life. I just want to bring back good energy and good vibes. I love y’all.”

With Zavier set to arrive on March 27, Fetty raised hype around the project with a cinematic trailer on Monday, which finds him detailing where he’s at in life after returning to the rap game following a three-year prison sentence.

“When you lose the money everybody think that’s the worst part,” Fetty said in the black-and-white clip. “When it get real quiet that’s when it hit different. I got so used to hearing Fetty everywhere I go, before I even knew who Zavier was. Somewhere in all that, I became a character in my own life. People really loved what I could provide for real, not who I really was.”

Zavier boasts 17 tracks and serves as Fetty’s first full-length release since 2023’s King Zoo. Features on the project remain unknown.

Fetty Wap (born Willie Junior Maxwell II) was released from prison in January — 11 months ahead of his expected December release — after serving more than three years behind bars on federal drug charges.

Fetty will hit the road for a handful of northeast shows in April following the project’s arrival. The trek kicks off with a homecoming show in Montclair, N.J., on April 4, before heading to Hartford, Conn.; Albany, N.Y.; and Stroudsburg, Penn.

Morgan Wallen has already dominated radio with hits such as “20 Cigarettes” and “I Got Better.” Now, he’s gearing up to launch his own station on SiriusXM, when the exclusive, year-round country music channel Morgan Wallen Radio kicks off April 7 on channel 64 and on the SiriusXM app.

The channel will be curated and presented by the country star, and will include a mix of his biggest hits and fan favorite tunes. Morgan Wallen Radio will feature songs hand-picked by Wallen, as well as exclusive commentary and behind-the-scenes stories from him as he prepares for his upcoming Still the Problem 23-date stadium tour.

Some of the channel’s programming will include “Still the Problem Tour” segments, which will take listeners behind the scenes during his trek, with rehearsal stories and drop-ins from his band and opening acts. “808 to 865” will feature Wallen spinning his favorite hip-hop songs. Meanwhile “One Track At a Time” will find Wallen sharing his favorite new music and recent finds.

“Listeners can expect to hear a lot of things that I listen to on a day-to-day basis, which is probably a lot different than what most people expect,” Wallen said in a statement. “I will be personally curating the music so they will get a glimpse into my world. I’m excited for everyone to hear it.”

Morgan Wallen Radio will be available for free in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles from April 7 to May 6, offering non-subscribers an opportunity to experience the new channel.

To celebrate the new channel, 19-time Billboard Music Award winner Wallen is set to host an intimate live performance at Nashville venue The Pinnacle on April 2. The performance will broadcast on April 7 at 5 p.m. ET to kick off the channel.

Previous artists who have performed exclusive shows for SiriusXM listeners include Chris Stapleton, Coldplay, Metallica and Ed Sheeran. SiriusXM’s country channel lineup also includes artist-branded channels from Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney and Willie Nelson.

“Morgan Wallen is undeniably one of the most influential forces shaping and creating music today,” Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer at SiriusXM, said in a statement. “At SiriusXM, we’re always looking for ways to bring fans closer to the artists they love, and this launch does just that, from a channel curated by Morgan himself to an exclusive concert experience that gives listeners unprecedented access to his music, his influences, and his live performance.”

Bruno Mars isn’t leaving the door open for any misconceptions about his thoughts on Taylor Swift. After fans online thought he might have indirectly dissed the pop superstar, the Silk Sonic artist clarified his stance in a comment on X on Sunday (March 15).

Responding to a post with an apparent screenshot of Mars appearing to “like” an Instagram video hating on Swift, he wrote, “Taylor has always been supportive and kind to me.”

Mars added, “Only love over here.”

Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.

The alleged screenshot in question shows a frame of a video of Swift performing on stage at one of her Eras Tour shows in 2023 or 2024. Text on screen refers to the 14-time Grammy winner as “talentless.”

Billboard could not verify the screenshot, and the account on which it was supposedly posted seems to have disappeared.

Mars and Swift are two of the biggest artists of their generation, often taking turns dominating the charts. The former recently scored his 10th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with “I Just Might” — which has ruled the ranking for three weeks so far — before which the pop superstar’s “The Fate of Ophelia” spent 10 weeks atop the chart.

Mars is also fresh off of the release of his first solo album in a decade, The Romantic. The LP dropped Feb. 27 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The last time the performer dropped an album was in 2016, with 24k Magic reaching No. 2 on the chart; the year prior was also the last memorable time Mars and Swift memorably intersected on social media, with the former jokingly joining in on Swift’s spat with Nicki Minaj at the time. While the two women were trading barbs about VMA nominations — later making amends and performing together at the ceremony — Mars posted on X, “Yo I want in on this twitter Beef!! VMAs is the new WWF!! @edsheeran F–k You!”

Sheeran jokingly responded at the time, “@BrunoMars any way we do dis you gon’ come up short.”

BTS is heading to the Big Apple in support of new album ARIRANG. As announced Monday (March 16), Spotify is hosting an exclusive fan event for ARMY in New York City, featuring a “special performance and Q&A,” according to the release.

Spotify x BTS: SWIMSIDE will take place March 23, three days after ARIRANG drops. A select group of fans will be invited to celebrate with the septet comprised of RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook and explore “immersive album-themed experiences.” The exact location of the event is not public.

The news comes just four days ahead of the highly anticipated release of ARIRANG, a 14-track project that’s been years in the making. After spending about two years working on solo projects and fulfilling military service requirements, the Bangtan Boys reunited last year and almost immediately began work on a new album, which will follow 2020 Billboard 200-topper Be.

The fan event in NYC isn’t the only way BTS is gearing fans up for the new album — nor is it the band’s only partnership with Spotify for ARIRANG. The streamer is also planning to roll out an in-app easter egg hunt through which ARMY can track down exclusive audio messages from the members, as well as a BTS Music Quiz that will allow fans to test themselves and each other on band-related trivia. Both begin March 20.

Previously, Google launched an ARIRANG clue hunt on mobile.

BTS is also planning a free concert celebrating the release of ARIRANG at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, taking place March 21. A few weeks later, the group will embark on an 82-date world tour.

“We have a diversity of genres,” Suga said of the new album in a February GQ cover story. “It’s going to be quite different from the BTS albums and sounds that you’ve been listening to. You’re going to see a more mature side of BTS this time around.”
