Lil Nas X is on track to get his felony assault charges dismissed as long as he follows through with a two-year mental health treatment plan.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to Billboard that on Monday (April 6), a judge granted a mental health diversion to the “Old Town Road” singer and rapper (Montero Hill). This means that if Lil Nas keeps up with his treatment regimen and stays out of trouble for the next two years, prosecutors will officially wipe his criminal charges for attacking police officers while clad only in underwear and cowboy boots this past August.

According to Rolling Stone, Judge Alan Schneider stated during a court hearing Monday that the incident was linked to Lil Nas’ bipolar disorder diagnosis and “aberrant from his normal conduct.” The musician checked himself into inpatient treatment soon after his arrest, and Judge Schneider said he “appears to be doing very well.”

Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse afterward, Lil Nas said he’s feeling “thankful” and that he’s “just going through the flow of life.” Asked what message he’d like to send his fans, Lil Nas said, “I love you so much, and I miss you so much.”

Lil Nas’ mental health diversion is set to run through April 2028, at which point the judge will decide whether to formally dismiss the charges. If that happens, his record will be wiped clean.

The 26-year-old Grammy winner was arrested last summer after allegedly attacking police officers who responded to reports that he was wandering around Ventura Boulevard wearing few clothes. He was charged with three counts of battery and one count of resisting arrest, felony charges that carried up to five years in prison if convicted.

Following the Aug. 21 incident, Lil Nas spent the weekend in jail before pleading not guilty to all charges and getting released on a $75,000 bond. In an Instagram video he posted after getting out, Lil Nas said the ordeal was “f–king terrifying” but assured fans, “Your girl is gonna be all right.”

BTS’ “Swim” dives into a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, a week after the song debuted as the reunited South Korean stars’ record-extending eighth No. 1 on each ranking.

“Swim” rules the Global 200 with 106.3 million streams (down 3%) and 114,000 downloads sold (down 49%) worldwide March 27-April 2.

BTS’ “Body to Body,” likewise from the group’s new album, ARIRANG, holds at its No. 2 Global 200 high and Dominic Fike’s “Babydoll” rebounds 12-3 for a new best, surpassing its prior No. 7 peak.

Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” reaches the Global 200’s top 10, bounding 16-4 with 42 million streams (up 10%) and 3,000 sold (up 22%) worldwide. The song, originally released by Tame Impala solo last October while its duet version arrived in early February, is Tame Impala’s first top 10 on the chart and JENNIE’s fifth as a soloist. BLACKPINK, with JENNIE as a member, likewise has earned five top 10s on the tally (with the act’s LISA, ROSÉ and Jisoo having notched three, two and one, respectively, as soloists.)

Flavor Flav has once again proven his dedication to sports. Flav joined the Boston Red Sox on Easter Sunday (April 5) to throw the first pitch at their game against the San Diego Padres at Fenway Park.

Though Flav is from New York, home to the Red Sox’s biggest rivals, the Yankees, he repped Boston through and through for the occasion. The rapper showed up decked out in a custom Flavor Flav Red Sox jersey, a red baseball cap and matching red pants. And, of course, in Flavor Flav fashion, he also made sure to wear a blinged out red, white and blue version of his signature giant clock necklace.

When Flav stepped out to the pitch, the announcer referred to him as “a champion of all athletes.” Unfortunately, his pitch was not enough to win the Red Sox the game as Boston lost to San Diego 8-6. Despite the loss, Flavor Flav let fans know that he had a great time the game. The Public Enemy cofounder shared an Instagram carousel with highlights from his time at Fenway Park. In one video, Flav high-fived every Red Sox player in their dugout. In his post, Flavor Flav also shared that he ran into a special friend of his.

“I ran into my girl [Jordan Raney] from the USA Olympic Water Polo team,” Flav said in the caption to the post, where he also included photos of himself hugging the Olympian.

The iconic rapper has famously been a big advocate and financial supporter of women’s sports. Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, the rapper offered to sponsor the U.S. women’s water polo team after learning that they were severely underfunded and members of the team were working multiple jobs to make ends meet. In July of that year, Flav officially inked a five-year sponsorship deal with both the women’s and men’s teams.

After this year’s Winter Olympics, Flav invited the gold medal-winning U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team to party with him in Vegas after Donald Trump made a dismissive joke about inviting the women to the White House in a conversation with the men’s team. He also joined the U.S. bobsled and skeleton teams at the Winter Olympics as their official hype man.

Hindsight is 20/20, and 30 years down the road, it’s easy to look back and see Wynonna Judd’s “To Be Loved by You,” which topped Billboard’sHot Country Songs chart dated April 6, 1996, as a hall-of-fame project.

Wynonna, of course, earned a spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2022 as half of The Judds, while the single’s producer, Tony Brown (George Strait, Vince Gill), joined the Hall in 2025. Both of the “To Be Loved by You” songwriters — Gary Burr (Patty Loveless’ “I Try to Think About Elvis,” Conway Twitty’s “That’s My Job”) and Mike Reid (Ronnie Milsap’s “Stranger in My House,” Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”) — became Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame members in 2005.

Wynonna infused “To Be Loved by You” with dramatic, R&B-shaded dynamics, debuting the recording at No. 59 on Hot Country Songs on Jan. 6, 1996, ahead of the Feb. 13 release of her Curb/MCA album Revelations. She performed it in her first TV special as a solo act, also titled Revelations, that Feb. 23, and it climbed to the top of the list in the single’s 14th charted week. It marked the most recent of her four solo No. 1s, following 14 chart-toppers in 1984-89 with The Judds, featuring now-deceased mother/duet partner Naomi Judd, who announced her health-related retirement from touring in 1990.

Wynonna covered another Hall of Famer this March 30 when she sang Tammy Wynette’s “Woman to Woman” during taping for a PBS Great Performances episode, “Forever Yours: The First Lady of Country Music,” slated for later this year.

Young Miko is hitting the road with her 2026 Late Checkout Tour, which was announced Monday (April 6). 

Promoted by Live Nation, the 31-date trek will span across 11 countries including the United States, Mexico, Spain and Italy, kicking off July 3 at Denmark’s Roskilde Festival. Miko will then visit fans in Amsterdam, London, Paris and Milan before heading to Mexico for a four-date trek that includes Guadalajara and Mexico City, and wrapping in the U.S.

Marking the Puerto Rican artist’s first-ever arena tour, the stint is in support of her sophomore studio album, Do Not Disturb, which was released last fall and was inspired by her chaotic and challenging life on the road.  

“I was missing my family a lot, and I don’t know, I was also coming from a moment of a lot of movement and speed,” she said in a November 2025 interview with Billboard Español. “I didn’t allow myself to be present and enjoy all the fruits of the work I had been doing for so long. And all this chaos affected everything in my life: it affected my personal relationships, my work, my family relationships. I felt a bit dull and disconnected from myself, and I felt like I was losing my color, my aura, and my essence.”

Now, with a refreshed mindset, Miko — known for bangers such as “Wassup,” “Lisa,” the Feid-assisted “Classy 101” and “FINA” with Bad Bunny — is set to launch the North American leg of her tour on October 13 in Seattle and wrap Nov. 5 at Brooklyn’s Barclay Center. In between, she will make pit stops in Houston, Miami and Atlanta, to name a few.

The announcement of the Late Checkout Tour also comes on the heels of Miko teaming up with Gap for its first-ever Spanish-language video campaign in March. 

Tickets will be available for pre-sale at 10 a.m. local time on April 7 and general sale will begin at 10 a.m. local time on April 10. For more information, visit Live Nation’s website. See the full list of tour dates below:
