In a recent interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the singer was asked about a previous appearance where fans commented on his infamous hairpiece. “Yeah, I had a piece on,” he revealed after Big Boy complimented him by saying the piece was “immaculate.”

“No, listen, it’s always immaculate when you put it on for the first three days, four days,” he added. “But then after that, you got to go back to see the barber to get it touched up. The problem with me, I travel so much, if I don’t fly my barber down, then I got to keep the durag on super tight.”
He further explained the process of how they try to make the piece look as natural as possible before revealing that he isn’t the only celebrity to have one. “It’s almost like a male wig, it’s almost like a toupée,” he began. “But the difference is you cut your hair bald, but you leave the sides open. The area where you losing hair, they replace it with a piece — they call it a unit, put it like that. And then they cut it and blend it in with your original hair. You’d be surprised how many celebrities actually got it.”
Akon then told Big Boy that he plans to eventually create his own line of male hairpieces and sell them. “I’m definitely coming out with some units, I promise you,” he said. “Man, they are so popular. They sell more than wigs. Half the guys in the VIP section, I would say out of 10 of them, seven of them got wigs on.”
Back in 2022, Akon confirmed that he went to Turkey to receive a hair transplant.

Country superstar Ella Langley is a history maker. Her hit single “Choosin’ Texas” was the first track by a woman to simultaneously top the Country Airplay, Hot Country Songs and all-genre Billboard Hot 100 charts. The song, which has a writing and producer credit from country legend Miranda Lambert, was Langley’s first Hot 100 chart-topper.
With “Choosin’ Texas,” Langley also became just the fourth solo woman to earn a multi-week Country Airplay No. 1 in 10 years.

It’s been 24 years since she won American Idol, but Kelly Clarkson still has a bone to pick with the singing competition.
On the Tuesday (March 10) episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer claimed that the show never made good on its promise to gift her a car once she won. The revelation came after that day’s guest, Rob Rausch, said that Traitors showrunners “still haven’t paid” him the prize money for his shocking season 4 win back in January, to which Clarkson exclaimed, “I relate to this so hardcore.”

“You probably weren’t alive when I was on American Idol,” she proceeded to tell Rausch (who would’ve been about 3 years old during the inaugural season). “But I literally was on the show, and they were like, ‘Oh, you win a million dollars!’ or whatever. No, you didn’t … It was, like, a million dollars worth of investment in you [via recording contract].
“And then they said, ‘You get a car!’ And I needed it, ’cause my car is bashed in, and I couldn’t afford the deductible,” Clarkson continued, getting riled up. “And then, no! I did not get a car!”
Adding insult to injury, the Grammy winner said future contestants did receive vehicles from the production. “Clay Aiken, who didn’t win the second season, got a car — and his mom [did too]!” she said of the season 2 runner-up. “I was like, ‘What the f—?’ I remember Clay telling me … he was like, ‘Yeah, they gave my mom one.’ I was like, ‘I’m gonna actually kick your a– right now.’”
Billboard has reached out to Fox, the original network of American Idol, for comment.
Though she may not have gotten any new wheels from her time on Idol, Clarkson did leverage her victory into a flourishing music career. The star has nabbed three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with 31 entries total, as well as three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200.
She’s also become an acclaimed talk-show host through The Kelly Clarkson Show, which, sadly for fans, will come to an end after this season. Clarkson announced in February that after seven years, she’d be stepping away from the program to “prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”

The NBA, the Atlanta Hawks and Magic City have found themselves in a bit of a Streisand Effect vortex.
Last month, the Hawks announced that the team would host “Magic City Monday” on March 16 via the team’s website, with T.I. set to perform at halftime, an exclusive hoodie that was going to sold at the arena on the team’s online shop and the Atlanta strip club’s notable lemon pepper wings. However, NBA players Luke Kornet and Al Horford spoke out against the decision, which then led to a bit of a firestorm on social media and ultimately Magic City Night’s cancellation.

Of course, Cam’ron and Mase had something to say on their daily sports talkshow It Is What It Is.
“Adam Silver is serious about pulling out all stops to be different, and I like this,” Mase, who lives in Atlanta, said. “But this was something he had to put his foot down. There’s people that love Magic City, there’s people that hate Magic City, but when you talk about the NBA, you talk about the Atlanta Hawks, it’s not just about the guys that watch this game or the ladies that watch this game, but it’s about the kids that are watching this game, and I think this particular statement is a statement that needed to be made, so that they can bring some respect back to the game where children are concerned, right?”
He then said that continuing with this particular night would send the wrong message to kids.
“If the children are coming there and you got a little girl there, she’s loving the NBA, or a kid there and he’s watching the NBA … and then you pull out Magic City and you honor that in front of children, I just felt like it would have sent the wrong message to the whole NBA,” he added. “It would’ve definitely sent the wrong message to the kids, and I think that’s what you have to do. … You have to protect children at all costs. I’m thankful that he did that, especially being a person that lives in Atlanta.”
Cam, on the other hand, had a different opinion. “Yeah, I dig it. I totally understand,” he said. “I don’t support it. That’s you. I don’t support it.”
He added: “If you wanna bring your kid to Magic City Night, we gotta look at you as a parent. You got 41 games at home. Come on, man. You can pick another night to not bring the kids to Magic City Night.”
The NBA released a statement, saying that they feel like they made the right decision. “When we became aware of the Atlanta Hawks’ scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their plans and rationale,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. “While we appreciate the team’s perspective and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners and employees. I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community.”
Meanwhile, the Hawks expressed disappointment in their own statement. “While we are very disappointed in the NBA’s decision to cancel our Magic City Night promotion, we fully respect its decision,” the team said Monday. “As a franchise, we remain committed to celebrating the best of Atlanta — with authenticity — in ways that continue to unite and bring us all together.”

Rapper Bentley Bugz (real name Jimmy Francois) was arraigned Friday in a federal court in Brooklyn on a six-count indictment of sex trafficking charges involving a minor.
According to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office, Bugz faces charges of sex trafficking of a 16-year-old girl using force, fraud and coercion, as well as coercing and enticing a minor, sexually exploiting a child and prostitution across state lines.

Francois is also accused of physically assaulting and intimidating the minor victim, in addition to assaulting separate women while she was present.
Prosecutors allege that the New York rapper created sexually explicit images of the 16-year-old and posted the photos in various prostitution ads.
“As alleged, the defendant preyed on a vulnerable child and sold her body for his own profit, while subjecting her to physical violence and threats,” U.S. Attorney Nocella said in a statement. “With today’s arrest, Francois is being held to account for his cruel and depraved crimes. Our Office will continue to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of sex trafficking that threatens the safety of our communities.”
Bugz was arrested Jan. 29 in Miami and transported to the Eastern District of New York earlier in March. He remains in custody without bail and faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars if convicted and up to a possible life sentence.
Court filings allege that Bugz forced the Jane Doe victim to engage in sexual acts with multiple clients per day between June 2024 and August 2024. Prosecutors accused the 37-year-old of sex trafficking the minor through multiple states, including a stop in Queens.
Francois is also accused of assaulting the victim and intimidating her with verbal threats. “I’ma violate you… You gonna have broken bones… in your hotel room. No hospital, no nothing,” Bugz allegedly told her. “I will personally break your bones.”
“As alleged, the defendant’s exploitation and trafficking of an innocent teenager — across state lines and over the course of months — can only be described as depravity in its most vile form,” HSI New York special agent Alfonso added. “He hid his dark life of threats and abuse behind a facade of power and luxury. Together with our law enforcement partners, HSI New York is wholeheartedly focused on protecting victims as we relentlessly pursue those who dehumanize and debase them for their own selfish gain and satisfaction.”
On the music side, Bentley Bugz has released singles to streaming services dating back to 2012. His most recent release on DSPs arrived in late 2023 with “Spin Again.”

Welcome to Billboard Pro’s Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip.
This week: TikTokers are pickin’ up good vibrations from an old disco No. 1, another classic alt-rock outfit has a viral comeback with a beloved non-single, and a rising R&B singer-songwriter gets help from a dance trend.
Times are tough, and global war is only turning up the pressure. So, naturally, people are turning to TikTok for money guidance, and some of found solace in user @/goddessinanna15 and her “abundance frequency” videos. In essence, “Ring My Bell,” the 1979 Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper from Anita Ward, apparently continues sonic frequencies that inspire financial abundance. In a Jan. 12 post, TikTok user @/goddessinanna15 claimed “Ring My Bell” is a “matrix hack” that will “bring money and wealth” because it correlates with the following phrases in numerology: “I am wealthy,” “win money,” “manifest” and “Johnny Cash.”
To close out her clip, which has since amassed over a quarter-million views, the user also claimed that she won a $5 scratch-off prize while listening to Ward’s signature hit. Later that week (Jan. 16 & 17), she shared two more viral posts expanding on the “abundance frequency”-“Ring My Bell” theory. Additionally, TikTok user @/sinai_rose launched a “Ring My Bell” dance challenge on March 3, with a clip that’s already earned over 280,000 views.
Now, whether any of this is true is besides the point. What truly matters is that people have bought into the “abundance frequency,” which has helped revived “Ring My Bell” on streaming. According to Luminate, “Ring” earned over 671,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the period of Feb. 20-26, selling an additional 300 U.S. digital downloads. By the following week (Feb. 27-March 5), “Ring” jumped 277% to 2.53 million official streams, with its U.S. digital downloads total vaulting 1,001% to over 3,4000 copies. On TikTok, the official “Ring My Bell” sound boasts over 5,000 videos, many of which are now tied to manifestations of wealth and prosperity.
Even if “Ring My Bell” does absolutely nothing for people’s finances, at least it’s finding a way into the hearts and playlists of a new generation of listeners. — KYLE DENIS
A ‘Go Away’ Comeback for Weezer and Bethany Cosentino
Another week, another ’90s alternative act striking TikTok gold with a many-albums-ago deep cut. This time, it’s Weezer‘s turn in the streaming spotlight, with the California vets’ “Go Away” — a highlight from 2014’s Everything Will Be Alright in the End album, featuring West Coast alt-rock fixture Bethan Cosentino of Best Coast — blowing up on TikTok over the past couple months, with users finding a variety of uses for the song’s male/female vocal interplay and lovelorn lyrics.
The TikTok interest in the song has translated to massive streaming gains over the past two months. Whereas at the beginning of 2026, for the tracking week ending Jan. 1, “Go Away” was only amassing 56,000 weekly official on-demand U.S. streams (according to Luminate), the song has skyrocketed to nearly 2.8 million streams for the week ending March 5, with its numbers still rising in the days since. The song has even entered Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA chart, reaching a new peak of No. 153 on Tuesday (Mar. 10).
Both Weezer and Cosentino have since joined in the TikTok fun, with the latter getting 6.6 million views so far for a video of her performing the song on a toy guitar with the caption “when a song you cowrote and sang on 12 years ago goes viral and now you are someone’s mom,” and the former even posting a new lyric video with the monster on the Alright album cover lip synching to the song. (“Everything is still alright in the end,” the caption concludes.)
Choreographer, dancer, and TikTok user @/jeanvictorm has finally escaped the shadow of his viral “Needed Me” dance with a new, particulalry satisfying combination set to SAILORR’s “Coconut,” an Eem Triplin-assisted joint housed on her From Florida’s Finest Delu/XXX album.
Victor shared the first look at his choreography via his official TikTok page in a Feb. 5 clip that’s since earned over 631,000 views and nearly 100,000 likes. He quickly caught onto the dance trend’s budding virality with a follow-up clip on Feb. 11 (this time featuring himself and fellow TikTok dance star Orlando Lucas), which soon gave way to a litany of tutroial clips that helped non-professionals nail every move. While the unofficial “Coconut” sound boasts just under 6,500 clips, the official sound plays in over 17,000.
During the period of Jan. 23-29, “Cocount” racked up 366,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. Roughly a month later (Feb. 27-March 5), that figure soared 216% to over 1.15 million official weekly streams. With her buzz continuing to build thanks to her writing contributions on Baby Keem’s “Good Flirts,” SAILORR may just have unlocked a rising hit of her own. — KD

The ’80s may be behind us, but the music of the decade lives on. The proof: Forty years after the song’s release, the music video for “Your Love” by The Outfield has reached 1 billion views on YouTube.
The track was the second single from the English rock band’s 1985 debut studio album, Play Deep, which reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart. The iconic ’80s song is the band’s first to reach YouTube’s Billion Views Club.

“Your Love” originally peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1986 and remains the band’s most popular song. Thanks to a reimagining by Diplo, “Your Love” had a major resurgence in 2024, 10 years after The Outfield disbanded following the death of guitarist/songwriter John Spinks. Diplo’s “Your Love (Remix)” was a top 10 hit on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart and peaked at No. 48 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.
Though it’s their biggest hit, “Your Love” is not the only song by The Outfield to find success on the Billboard charts. Their single “Since You’ve Been Gone” from their second album, Bangin’, reached No. 11 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in 1987. The title track and “My Paradise” from 1989’s Voices of Babylon reached No. 2 and No. 34, respectively, on the same chart.
The Outfield was formed in 1984 by Spinks, vocalist/bassist Tony Lewis and drummer Alan Jackman in London. The group released seven studio albums between 1985 and 2011 before disbanding in 2014 after Spinks died of liver cancer, followed by Lewis’ death in 2020.
