Lenny Kravitz shared an emotional note about Cicely Tyson, the pioneering Black actress and his godmother, who died on Jan. 28 at the age of 96.

“With inimitable style and grace, my dear Godmother Miss Cicely Tyson made her grand exit to the heavens,” Kravitz wrote on Friday (Jan. 29), a day after Tyson’s family and manager issued a statement about her death. “She lived a remarkable life up to the last moment.”

Kravitz lauded his godmother as “a true pioneer, who bared her heart and soul so we could witness the spirit of the characters she so brilliantly portrayed, which continue to move and inspire generations. A Black queen who showed us how beautiful black is.”

Among her many accomplishments, including being the recipient of three Emmy Awards, Tyson was the first African-American to win a lead actress Emmy, for her performance portraying a woman from the 1850s to the civil-rights era in the 1974 CBS telefilm The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. She notably received an Oscar nomination for her role in 1972’s Sounder, and she won a Tony award in 2013 for her work in The Trip to Bountiful.

“The love between us was and is tremendous,” Kravitz said in his post. “As long as I have had consciousness, I’ve known Godmother. She and my mother were kindred spirits. Sisters. And after my mother passed, Godmother’s role in my life was amplified. I constantly felt her spirit over me. She always gave me unconditional support. She came to my shows, came over for holidays, met me for dinners, stayed with me in Paris when I first moved there, and never let me too far out of her sight. Our phone calls went on sometimes for hours.”

“We spoke just a few nights ago and talked about everything. She had just sent me her book that has been sitting on my nightstand where it will remain. She did it all, wrote the book, and then God called her. I can hear Godmother saying ‘ok, now y’all can read about it, I’m going home.’ Rest peacefully, Godmother. You did it all exquisitely,” wrote Kravitz, referring to her just-published memoir, Just As I Am.

Megan Thee Stallion wore all the colors for her latest set of photos posted on social media.

In pink, blue, purple and yellow-orange hues, the rapper posed with an iridescent Dior handbag.

On Instagram on Saturday (Jan. 30), she joked, “Dior’d my damn self.”

“That’s hot,” Meg captioned the pictures over on Twitter.

The “Body” rapper appears to have been inspired by the Lady Dior Art Bag (the limited edition handbag retails for $8,500), which was made in collaboration with artist Judy Chicago, for her overall bright look.

Hilton Valentine, an English musician who was a guitarist and founding member of  The Animals, has died. He was 77.

His death was revealed by the record company Abkco Music & Records on Friday (Jan. 29).

“Our deepest sympathies go out to @HiltonValentine’s family and friends on his passing this morning, at the age of 77,” the company wrote on Twitter. “A founding member and original guitarist of The Animals, Valentine was a pioneering guitar player influencing the sound of rock and roll for decades to come.”

No cause of death was provided.

Valentine was born in 1943 in Northumberland, England, and joined The Animals, which was led by frontman Eric Burdon, in the early 1960s. Starting with The Animals in 1964, the group released numerous albums and had many rotating members over the years.

Their hits include “The House of the Rising Sun” and “We Gotta Get Out of This Place.”

The band’s final album was Ark in 1983. In 1994, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Later in Valentine’s career, he resided in California and worked on solo projects including the album All in Your Head and Skiffledog on Coburg Street.

Survivors include Valentine’s wife, Germaine.

Morgan Wallen, “This Side of a Dust Cloud,” “Bandaid on a Bullet Hole”

In case the 30 tracks on Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album have left you thirsting for even more, today, Wallen released the two tracks that had been exclusive to Target. Both mid-tempo tracks deal with Wallen being left behind by a woman and both are lyrically strong, with the slight edge going to “Dust Cloud.” Also added is a piano-only version of Wallen singing album opener, “Sand In My Boots.” Listeners continue to benefit from Wallen’s heartache.

Jay DeMarcus, “Music Man”

When Rascal Flatts’ bassist DeMarcus lost his father last year, his thoughts turned to how to memorialize him. “”The night he passed, I sat down at that piano, and the lyrics to this song just poured over and spilled out of me,” he says. Though the gentle ballad is a personal tribute to his father, like many songs about loss, the themes here are universal.

Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley “Freedom Was a Highway”

A standout track from Allen’s Bettie James EP, “Highway” has the casual, nostalgic feel of a breezy summer day. In the best possible way, “Highway” is the kind of wistful song that Keith Urban has built a career on, so there’s no reason to think that Allen and Paisley won’t see similar success with this engaging mid-tempo track that, of course, includes a blazing guitar solo from Paisley.

Niko Moon & Shaggy, “Good Times”

As Moon’s original of “Good Times,” sits comfortably in the Top 10, it gets a snappy remake courtesy of Shaggy who joins Moon on a reimagining that transports the song from Anywhere, USA to a Caribbean island. The shuffling beat gets reinvigorated with a reggae, island feel, then Shaggy adds his distinctive patois to a verse about enjoying every moment.

Margo Price, “Hey Child”

Price channels her demons on the video for the track, originally written in 2012 after the loss of her child, and featured on her current album, That’s How Rumors Get Started. From snorting coke in the dressing room and going on stage under the influence to ending up in jail, Price is extremely affecting as she stares straight into the camera, telegraphing her grief.

Southerland, “Little Bit of You,” “Along Those Lines”

Following the twangy toe-tapper, “Thing Is,” the duo of Matt Chase and Chris Rogers return with two tunes with every man themes. “Little Bit Of You” celebrates clocking out and counting the minutes until you’re reunited with the one you love at the end of a long day, while “Along Those Lines” heralds small town life, and shows off their pleasing harmonies.

Heath Sanders, “Common Ground”

Straight out of the Hank Williams Jr. school of country rock that lifts up patriotism, God and mama— not necessarily in that order— newcomer Sanders embraces those virtues on “Old School’s In,” the opening track to his four-song EP. On emotional ballad, “Can’t Undo I Do,” about sticking with a marriage no matter how hard it gets, the Arkansas native shows off his gruff, heavily accented vocals, whereas the title track displays his keen observational skills with a clever twist and is a unifying tale with attention. Closer “Love Needs Makin’” is a sunny, accessible ode to romance.

Lauren Weintraub, “She’s Mine”

Emerging singer/songwriter Weintraub taps into the acute pain of seeing an ex with someone new. “Is her kiss one you could stop time with/do her lips fit better than mine,” she asks as she tries to work her way through to the other side, knowing full well for now that the thoughts of her beau’s new love are going to be what keeps her up at night.

Olivia Ooms,”Hideaway”

Teenager Ooms has a maturity that belies her age on “Hideaway,” her alluring single about not bottling up secrets. The enigmatic lyrics are wrapped around an organ bed that adds to the mystique. Produced by Jamie O’Neal, best known for her 2000 No. 1 hit, “There Is No Arizona.” O’Neal also sings harmony on the track.

Justin Timberlake’s last album, 2018’s Man of the Woods, featured high-profile collaborations with Alicia Keys, Chris Stapleton and Pharrell. And it looks like his next album just got its first collaborator: vocals from none other than Jimmy Fallon.

The Grammy-winning singer catches up (virtually) with his longtime pal on Friday night’s (Jan. 29) episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where they jokingly discuss the possibility of a Fallon feature.

“Listen, I’ll happily put you on a record if you want to be on a record,” Timberlake insists in this preview clip, exclusively on Billboard. “You want to sing backgrounds?”

Jimmy looks off-camera, shocked, before saying (obviously), “Yeah!”

“OK, done,” Timberlake said.

“What? Did this just happen? We can’t edit this out! We have to leave this in the show!” Fallon says.

“But I’m going to treat you the same way that I did right before we did the first Bee Gees sketch we ever did,” Timberlake says of their beloved “Barry Gibb Talk Show” skit on Saturday Night Live.

Watch the clip below to see exactly what that means, and you can watch the full interview on NBC at 11:35 p.m. ET on The Tonight Show, where Ozuna and Anuel AA are the night’s musical guests.
