Westside Gunn is in album mode. The Buffalo rapper took to Instagram over the weekend and announced that he plans on dropping a surprise warm-up tape before releasing the highly anticipated Flygod Is an Awesome God III (Trilogy).
“I came here to mix and master my album Flygod Is an Awesome God 3,” he started the caption. “And was waiting for my files, so I had played some beats and caught a vibe, told him load it and made a joint, then made another joint, and then made another joint. And now 24hrs later I made a new project.”
He added, “I told y’all I was thinking about dropping a project even before the album, I been doing so much wrestling and fashion I’m ready to get back on my WSG s—t!!!!”
In the video, he said he made the album in a day to see if he still had it, and wants to release the new tape immediately. “Listen, I’m not even waiting. I want to drop this ASAP,” he shared. “I gotta go figure out what I gotta do, how I gotta do it, whatever distribution, I want this out ASAP. This is to let people know.”
The Buffalo rapper surprised fans when he announced his plans to release the third installment to the Flygod trilogy after initially considering retiring from making studio albums. “I’m not saying I won’t come with a five-song EP with Madlib or I won’t do a seven-song EP with Alchemist or I won’t rap. I’ll do all of that, but making a studio album, I’m done with all that. It’s back to dumping until I don’t want to dump no more. I’m going to have fun now. It’s no more pressure,” he told Rolling Stone last October.
While an unreleased track could be heard in the background of the video he posted, Gunn hasn’t released anything thing from this upcoming project. However, he’s already premiered one single from Flygod 3 during TNA’s Slammiversary in “Chocolate Face” featuring DJ Khaled, and teased another track on social media in “Big Dump” featuring Stove God Cooks.

President Nicolás Maduro lashed out at Venezuelan singer and influencer Lele Pons in a video posted on his Instagram and TikTok accounts, amid the tension generated by the recent Venezuelan presidential elections in which he declared himself the winner. The video was released after the massive opposition march on Saturday (Aug. 17), which brought together thousands of people in Caracas and other cities worldwide, including Tokyo, Mexico City and Miami.
“Eleonora ‘Lele’ Pons wants to impose a government in #Venezuela through a concert in Miami, but who said she is a politician? Lele Pons is not the #CNE! Do not underestimate Venezuela, you do not know the spiritual power of this #People!” reads the description of Maduro’s TikTok video.
“Who said that Lele Pons and the artists that she is calling, just like the concert in Cúcuta, should determine the life of an entire country?” the Chavismo leader said. “So they think that because some artists were going to sing, the next day they would invade Venezuela. Be careful with manipulations, be careful. And you can conspire from Miami, but in Venezuela, the Venezuelans rule. As we did with the artists at the concert in Cúcuta, so will the people of Venezuela, today even more strongly.”
Shortly after, Pons reacted in a video on her TikTok account captioned, “You will not silence me! VENEZUELA WON 🇻🇪❤️.” The artist also shared some images on Instagram of her participation in the march, during which she carried the flag of her native country, accompanied by Venezuelan artists Danny Ocean, Elena Rose, Marko and Joaquina, among others.
Pons is the Venezuelan influencer and singer with the most followers on social media, with more than 53.4 million followers on Instagram alone and 32.5 million on TikTok. She has been vocal about the irregularities in Venezuela’s elections, where the opposition claims to have evidence that its candidate, Edmundo González, obtained the majority of the votes.
On Aug. 9, she did an Instagram Live with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, during which the politician answered questions from her followers and announced Saturday’s massive event aimed at the international community.

Doja Cat seems to have a new man in her life — and she’s been interested in him for a while.
In a video shared by celebrity gossip page DeuxMoi, the “Paint the Town Red” singer looks to be strolling around London with Stranger Things star, Joseph Quinn. In the clip, which was taken from far away, the duo are seemingly walking with their hands around each other’s waists, as well as holding hands. Quinn is seen rocking a button down white top and blue trousers, while Doja opted for a lavender maxi dress, heels and short blonde hair.
While the video does appear to be Doja and Quinn, the spotting is unconfirmed and the duo have yet to publicly confirm the status of their relationship. Billboard reached out to both stars’ teams for more information, but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
The unconfirmed spotting comes just two years after Doja got into some since-squashed online beef with another Stranger Things star, Noah Schnapp, after the actor posted a screenshot to TikTok of his private messages with Doja in which she’d asked him to set her up with Quinn.
After Schnapp’s since-deleted TikTok went viral, Doja — who’d previously tweeted about her crush on the “fine as s–t British actor — went on Instagram Live to say that Schnapp’s behavior was “so unbelievably, like, socially unaware and wack, adding, “That’s like borderline snake s–t. That’s like weasel s–t.”
Schnapp later told Varietythat the duo made amends after their online fallout. “So, as I should, I apologized,” he shared. “She was totally OK with it, and was like, ‘I’m sorry how I reacted.’”

In photos posted to TikTok by one mom who met the pop star with her daughters at Wembley Stadium over the weekend, Swift poses with the two girls and gives both of them hugs backstage. The older girl appears to wear a bandage covering her left forearm, while both young Swifties sport Red-themed T-shirts. In other photos, the little girls smile next to Swift’s mom, Andrea.
“You drew stars around my scars 💫🥹 ….,” the mom wrote in her caption. “The biggest thankyou to @Taylor Swift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all 🫶🏻 thankyou for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always 💗💗💗.”
Swift hosted multiple families impacted by the tragedy before stepping on stage at Wembley, where she’s slated to play five final shows before closing out the European leg of her Eras trek.
On July 29, a 17-year-old knifeman targeted a Swift-themed dance and yoga event for children ages 6 to 11 in Southport, killing three young girls and injuring eight more children as well as two adults — including 35-year-old instructor Leanne Lucas, who was recently readmitted to the hospital, according to the BBC. U.K. police has since charged the teenager with murder and attempted murder.
The 14-time Grammy winner has not addressed the attack on stage, but she did release a statement shortly after it occurred. “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock…” Swift wrote at the time. “The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders. These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

Kesha fans were sent for a loop on Sunday (Aug. 18) after claims that the “Eat the Acid” singer’s name was removed from the video credits of Pitbull‘s 2013 hit “Timber.” According to screenshots posted on Reddit of what appeared to be the altered credentials for the visual for the single from Mr. Worldwide’s Meltdown EP, whose hook is sung by Kesha, her name looked like it was scrubbed.

But a check of the credits for the song on Monday morning (Aug. 19) showed that the song is credited to both the artists, with Kesha’s former stage name (Ke$ha) also listed as a feature in the official video title. According to reports, for an unknown period of time on Sunday, the video, which has more than 1.5 billion views to date, was amended to read “Pitbull – Timber (Official Video).”
In a statement posted on Sunday afternoon to X, Pitbull sent a direct message to Kesha assuring her that he was looking into the reports. “@KeshaRose and I have an incredible song together. Nothing will change this. Team Pitbull is looking into this matter. Always nothing but love for Kesha, Dale!”
At press time spokespeople for Kesha and YouTube had not returned Billboard‘s request for additional comment and a spokesperson for Pitbull had also not responded to a request for clarification. The statement from Pitbull appeared to come after Kesha fans flooded social feeds on Sunday with anger over the apparent erasure of her significant contribution to the song which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks.
Many fans speculated that the removal could have been tied to Kesha’s yearslong feud with the song’s main producer, Dr. Luke (born Lukasz Gottwald), whom she sued in 2014 alleging that he sexually, mentally and emotionally abused her; Dr. Luke denied all the allegations and filed a defamation suit in response, with the two settling of court in 2023 just before a trail was set.

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess hits No. 1 on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart for the first time as the set jumps from No. 12 to No. 1 on the Aug. 24-dated list. The album sold 8,500 copies on vinyl in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 15, according to Luminate. That’s a 203% sales increase compared to the previous week.

Chappell Roan Breaks Down the Pros & Cons of Her Rapid Rise to Fame: ‘My Entire Life Has Changed…
The new Aug. 24-dated Vinyl Albums chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s website on Aug. 20.
The 12-1 jump for Rise reflects the tracking week that contained a buzzy festival performance from Roan – her Aug. 11 gig at Outside Lands in San Francisco. The latter generated a quasi-viral moment where she chastised the VIP section for not singing along to the album’s “Hot to Go!” The Outside Lands gig came a little over week after another well-received festival performance from the singer, when she had a rousing reception at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 1.
In total, Rise has sold 80,000 copies on vinyl since its release in September 2023.
The good news keeps coming for Rise on the charts, as the set hits new peaks on three key album rankings: the Billboard 200 (moving 3-2), Top Streaming Albums (3-2) and Top Album Sales (7-3); all dated Aug. 24.
In the Aug. 9-15 tracking week, Rise earned 72,000 equivalent album units (its best week yet). Of that sum, a little more than 14,000 were in traditional album sales (the set’s second-largest sales week). Further, the album’s songs generated 75.42 million on-demand official streams during the week — equaling 57,000 streaming-equivalent album units; both figures are new one-week highs for the album.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” tallies a sixth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single, the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list, ties for 2024’s longest domination, equaling the six nonconsecutive weeks on top for Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, in May-July.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” likewise matches the longest command this year on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, logging a 10th week at No. 1 and tying Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which led in February-April.

Plus, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rules in all-genre streams, radio airplay and sales simultaneously for a second week – it adds an 11th week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, a fifth week atop Streaming Songs and a third frame atop Radio Songs. The song, on American Dogwood/EMPIRE (with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music), drew 88.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (down 2%), 33.3 million official streams (down 2%) and 12,000 sold (down 3%) in the United States Aug. 9-15.
Also in the Hot 100’s top 10, Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rises two spots to No. 5, becoming her fourth career top five hit.
