DJ Quik’s son, David Marvin Blake Jr., has been convicted of second-degree murder, TMZ reports.
The incident in question happened in 2022 in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey, California, where 33-year-old Julio Moises Cardoza Jr. was shot and killed. According to authorities, Blake fired multiple shots from inside a vehicle before fleeing the scene. The victim was then rushed to the hospital where he later died from a gunshot wound to the chest. The suspect, who was 27 years old at the time, was arrested the next day.
The legendary producer found himself in the news earlier this summer when a fan on social media said, “DJ Quik is actually who everyone thinks Dr. Dre is,” to which Quik replied, “Finally. Someone had the balls to say it.” That’s not the first time he’s addressed his friendly rivalry with Dre. In 2022, he said that he felt like he should be as highly regarded and as successful as is West Coast counterpart. “I know it’s early. But I deserve to be where Dre is,” he wrote on X. “I don’t think it’s fair, but I understand why. I’ve never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me.” Quik was in attendance when Dre got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2024.
Blake is facing 40 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on February 6, 2026.
Billboard has reached out the LA District Attorney’s office for confirmation and further details.

Fariana says that “El Caballito” marked the beginning of a new era for her, and that her new merengue album, Música Para Bailar, is a gift for her fans and for her inner child.
Fariana: Well, imagine, it’s not a song. I had been nominated before with two categories, best rap and best reggaeton, but now that they nominate the entire album is tripling that gratitude, that emotion, that happiness, not only mine, but also my family’s, my followers.
It’s a very important album for me. I would say it’s my first professional album with everything. I feel very grateful and very proud to have worked on it the way I worked on it, to have taken the time that it took me to do it. I made it with all my heart and it represents 100% urban music.
Underwater has brought me a lot of happiness because within the album is “El Caballito.” Since I made “El Caballito” I knew what — I’ve always known what my purpose is as a musician, but “El Caballito” clarified it much more for me. When I started seeing children dancing, elderly people, people from my generation, my age, when I embraced all audiences, I said: “I now know what my true purpose is and it’s to make people very happy, besides being happy myself.” And since “El Caballito” I can tell you that a new era also began. Now I’m more aware of everything I do, of each thing I do, I’m much more aware, although I also love doing things, uh, however they come out in the moment, but I’m now more aware of more details. Since they loved “El Caballito” so much, I will bring you a gift. First I gave this to myself, to my inner child, which is a merengue album.

No matter how quick the wit, no stand-up comic starts out a success. Forget the top: on the way to the bottom rung, comics need to endure endless open-mic tryouts, log thousands of miles for little or no money and be thankful for 1:00 a.m. slots in front of drunken hecklers. And that’s just for starters. The further up the ladder they climb, the more pressure they face to consistently write and hone hour-plus sets that will power tours, specials and social media. Increasingly, they also choose to engage in a weekly form of digital improv known as the podcast.
As the first quarter of the 21st century comes to an end, Billboard set out to determine the best of that A-list: the top 25 stand-up comics of the last 25 years. To come up with these rankings, we polled experts that work with comics on a daily basis.
The panel consists of William Burdett-Coutts, who heads the Assembly venues at the Edinburgh Fringe festival; Michael Cox, stand-up booker for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon; Adam Eget, booker at Joe Rogan’s Comedy Mothership in Austin, Tx, and before that, the Comedy Store in Los Angeles; Bruce Hills, who, for 36 years booked and eventually ran Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival; Caroline Hirsch, the founder of Caroline’s Comedy Club and co-founder of the New York Comedy Festival; brothers Chris Mazzilli and Steve Mazzilli, owners of the Gotham Comedy Club in Manhattan; Patrick Milligan, the booker and proprietor of The Stand NYC comedy club; Susan Provan, director of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival; and Samantha Schles, director of comedy at the SXSW Festival. (Billboard‘s parent company, PMC, owns a 50% stake in SXSW.)
Thanks to all our panelists for taking time out of their hectic schedules to participate. (And special thanks to Hills, who provided valuable advice on voting parameters, helped create a well-rounded and authoritative judges panel and generously provided means to contact them.)
The process began with our panel helping put together a ballot of more than 150 nominees. The talent pool was limited to comedians with active stand-up careers over the last 25 years — as opposed to sketch, sitcom, film or improvisational performers, such as the cast of Saturday Night Live, Second City or Upright Citizens Brigade. Overseas comedians with a presence in the United States were also considered.
From there, the judges each ranked their top 25 comics. Voting was anonymous, and a weighted system was used to determine the top 25. As a number of judges remarked when returning their ballots, winnowing such a large batch of nominees was extremely difficult. There are a lot of exceptional stand-up comics out there.

According to a spokesperson for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, the rapper (Daniel Hernandez) was sentenced on Friday (Dec. 5) to three months in lockup for once again violating his probation from a blockbuster 2018 racketeering case. This time, Tekashi was caught with cocaine and MDMA and admitted to assaulting a man who taunted him about flipping on his former Brooklyn gangmates during a recent trip to the mall in Florida.
The sentence, imposed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer in federal court, is the culmination of many run-ins between the rapper and the law. Back in 2018, he was arrested and pleaded guilty to nine racketeering, gun and drug charges related to his time in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
Tekashi admitted to being involved in a slew of violent incidents targeting rival rappers, including a 2017 assault of Trippie Redd, and he testified against his former gang associates at a high-profile trial in 2019. In exchange for that cooperation, Judge Engelmayer sentenced him to just two years in prison rather than the decades his charges carried.
The rapper was released in 2020 after serving even less than those two years due to health risks from the then-novel COVID-19 pandemic. By the fall of 2024, Tekashi was just months away from concluding a five-year supervised release term when he was charged with a host of violations, including using methamphetamine, failing to appear for drug tests and traveling to Las Vegas without permission.
He admitted to these violations, and Judge Engelmayer sentenced him to 45 days in jail plus another year of supervised release. He got out last December, but was caught again in March for violating his probation by possessing cocaine and MDMA. Then came the Florida mall assault in August, which prosecutors classified as a misdemeanor. He’s been on house arrest since September.
In a sentencing recommendation last month, federal prosecutors said Tekashi had “violated the court’s trust” and needed to go back to jail so that cooperators would know they are “they are not above the law.” Tekashi’s lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, advocated instead for additional home detention.
Lazzaro did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday.

Music City Rodeo, Nashville’s Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association event, is set to return to Nashville for a second year, with headlining performances from Miranda Lambert, Charley Crockett and Jon Pardi.
Three-time Grammy winner Lambert will take the stage May 28, followed by two-time Grammy nominee Crockett on May 29 and CMA and ACM Awards winner Pardi on May 30.
The three-day event will take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and is set to feature events including bull riding, barrel racing, team roping and more. On Thursday evening (Dec. 4), Music City Rodeo co-founder Tim McGraw made the announcement of the event’s return to Nashville during the opening night of his Las Vegas limited-engagement residency, Tim McGraw: Live in Vegas.
McGraw, Reba McEntire and Jelly Roll served as the inaugural musical lineup for Music City Rodeo in 2025, while more than 30 world champion athletes took part in the event, earning over $292,000 in total prize winnings.
The 2026 event has been designated an official Cinch Playoff Series Rodeo and will again showcase some of the world’s top cowboys and cowgirls, including bullfighting duo Cody Webster and Dusty Tuckness, who have a combined 15 bullfighter of the year titles.
The Music City Rodeo is also teaming again with Nashville’s Monroe Carell Jr Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, with a portion of the rodeo’s proceeds going to aid the Monroe Carell Jr Children’s Hospital’s mission of providing top-tier pediatric health care, research and training.
Pre-sale tickets for the Music City Rodeo will be on sale beginning Dec. 5, with regular tickets going on sale Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. CT.

The 2025 edition of Spotify Wrapped arrived earlier this week, and it was impossible to miss. The annual listener recap attracted widespread news coverage that spanned the mainstream press (The New York Times, USA Today), the business press (Fast Company, Forbes), the tech press (Mashable, PC Mag) and local press (Peoria Journal Star, Cincinnati Enquirer). For its part, Spotify announced the launch of Wrapped with a slew of blog posts and a pre-release press conference. Even before that, articles about Wrapped’s launch began appearing in late November by publications eager to tap into listeners’ anticipation.
Regardless of how Spotify users learned of Wrapped — the media attention, social media chatter or seeing it when they opened their Spotify app on Wednesday (Dec. 3) — they took part in a record-setting launch. Within approximately the first 24 hours, Wrapped drew more than 200 million engaged users, up 19% from the previous year, the company revealed on Thursday (Dec. 4). In 2024, Wrapped needed 62 hours to meet the 200 million user mark. What’s more, the number of times Spotify users shared their Wrapped experiences surpassed 500 million in 24 hours, a 41% increase year over year.

But what’s most remarkable about Wrapped is its level of prominence in pop culture. To the extent Google search traffic reveals consumer interest, Wrapped appears to be in the same ballpark as some high-profile, closely watched cultural events. Take two of America’s biggest shopping days outside of the Christmas season, Amazon Prime Day and Cyber Monday. Wrapped generated more Google search traffic in the U.S. than Amazon’s Prime Day in 2024 and 2025, and it nearly matched Cyber Monday’s search traffic in 2024, though it slipped further behind the annual online shopping day this year. (The current week’s Google Trends data was preliminary as of Thursday.)
Coachella is another good point of comparison. The Southern California music festival is a cultural event that is closely followed for the desert-friendly fashion donned by attendees as much as the high-profile artists who perform. In 2024, Wrapped had about 50% more search traffic than Coachella, while this year, after the festival drew increased buzz and sold out in hours, the two events had nearly identical peak weekly traffic.
Wrapped was even in the same ballpark as the Met Gala, despite falling short of search traffic for that splashy event. While the fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute bested Wrapped by approximately a two-to-one margin in 2024 and 2025, when you consider that the Met Gala has written the book on how to build anticipation and drive consumer interest to a cavalcade of celebrities wearing designer clothing, the fact that Wrapped inspired even half the amount of search traffic is still impressive. Indeed, the Met Gala puts up ridiculous numbers: Within three days, this year’s editions had generated 1.2 billion views across Vogue’s website and YouTube channel.
Many other major cultural and entertainment events don’t come close to Wrapped: This year, Fashion Week, Art Basel, the Cannes Film Festival and SXSW each generated a small fraction of Wrapped’s U.S. Google search traffic.
More importantly, Wrapped dominates the annual listener recaps offered by its peers. This year, Wrapped had about four times the U.S. Google search traffic as Apple Music Replay, eight times the traffic of YouTube Recap and more than 80 times the traffic of both Amazon Music’s 2025 Delivered and SoundCloud Playback. Again, these are preliminary numbers, but the gaps between Wrapped and the others were equally wide in 2024.
Aside from the obvious marketing value associated with intense media coverage, a popular product feature such as Wrapped has meaningful business implications. Notably, it’s a huge success for a business model that demands streaming platforms compete against one another on the strength of their programming and user experience. While video on-demand services have the luxury of competing against one another with exclusive content, diminishing the need to offer a sterling user experience and engagement-inducing features, music streamers — with the exception of SoundCloud, which is heavy with user-generated content — are largely limited to the same music catalog. Whether you’re a fan or detractor of the annual year-end exercise, Wrapped proves that in the music streaming wars, being hyper-focused on product features can give a major leg up on the competition.

“Before we leave here, I am going to take Ray J’s phone,” Monica joked onstage at the Atlanta stop of her and Brandy’s co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour on Thursday (Dec. 4). “Ray J, give me the phone… give me the phone, Ray.”
After finally prying his phone from his hands, Monica thanked him and cracked a smile, confirming that she was simply poking fun. “We love you, Ray J,” she said. “Y’all make some noise for Ray J. He’s not just Brandy’s brother, but he’s my brother, too.” Brandy then quipped: “I hope you know I’m [gonna] have to hear this all night, ‘Monica is my sister now!’”
The hilarious on-stage bit comes just two days after the “One Wish” singer lambasted The Carters for allegedly refusing to take pictures with Brandy backstage at the tour, despite attending multiple shows.
“N—as need to pull up when they come to the show. Come say what’s up to Brandy too, Jay-Z and Beyoncé,” he said. “We big fans, we got our family there, and we know y’all there, and we love y’all, and we look up to y’all… For y’all to come to every one of Brandy and Monica’s shows and never say what’s up… and take all the pictures, I don’t like it.”
Beyoncé, who attended The Boy Is Mine tour in Los Angeles, Brooklyn and Newark, posted photos of her appearances to both her official website and Instagram page. Some of those pictures were taken backstage, including a group flick with Monica, Solange, Patti Labelle, and tour special guest Kelly Rowland. Neither she nor Jay-Z has responded to Ray J’s comments.
On Thanksgiving (Nov. 27), Ray J was taken into custody by Los Angeles police and charged with making a criminal threat after allegedly pointing a gun at his ex-wife, Princess Love, during a livestreamed argument. He was released on $50,000 bond later that night.
Brandy and Monica’s co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour continues on Friday (Dec. 5) at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center, before heading to Houston, Tampa and Miami.

Parmalee earns its fifth No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Cowgirl” gallops three spots to the top of the list dated Dec. 13. The song gained by 6% to 27.2 million audience impressions Nov. 28–Dec. 4, according to Luminate.

“Cowgirl” is the lead single from the four-man band’s eighth studio set, Fell in Love With a Cowgirl, released in April. Each of the band’s members — Barry Knox, Josh McSwain, Matt Thomas and Scott Thomas — shares co-writer credit on the song with five others, including longtime collaborator David Fanning, who also co-produced it.
“You’re talking about [trucks] and Levi’s and Bud Light, all the things that are country,” Fanning mused to Billboard of the song earlier this year. “But that’s the thing about country music. That stuff never does get old. It’s just, how are you gonna say it differently?”
By count of Country Airplay No. 1s dating to the band’s debut on the chart dated July 21, 2012, Parmalee ties Lady A for the third-most leaders among groups (of more than two members). Only Old Dominion (seven) and Zac Brown Band (six) have delivered more No. 1s among such acts in that time frame. Eli Young Band (three), The Band Perry, Little Big Town and Rascal Flatts (two each) follow in that stretch.
Parmalee links consecutive Country Airplay No. 1s for a second time, with “Cowgirl” the follow-up to “Gonna Love You,” which topped the Dec. 7, 2024, chart. The band previously ruled with back-to-back singles thanks to “Just the Way,” with Blanco Brown, for a week in March 2021 and “Take My Name” for two frames in June 2022.
The group first led Country Airplay with “Carolina” for a week in December 2013. That song became Parmalee’s second entry, after “Musta Had a Good Time,” which reached No. 38 in October 2012. All 11 of the quartet’s entries on the chart have hit the top 40, with eight reaching the top 10.
All charts dated Dec. 13 will update Tuesday, Dec. 9, on Billboard.com.

Lainey Wilson is known for several hit collabs, and now, she’s got another one up her sleeve just before 2025 closes out.
The reigning CMA entertainer of the year teamed up with Aerosmith and Yungblud for “Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version),” a new rendition a track included on the Aerosmith and Yungblud collab EP One More Time.
After Wilson and Aerosmith’s Tyler performed a version of Aerosmith’s hit “Dream On” at the sixth annual Jam for Janie benefit back in February, Tyler and Yungblud later invited Wilson to add her voice to “Wild Woman,” while guitarist and Aerosmith founding member Perry crafted a new guitar part for the version.
Yungblud said in a statement of the Wilson-featured version, “I’m really hyped to have Lainey Wilson jump on this record with us. I have been a fan of her for a while. Her life story is truly inspirational. With this record, we really needed a female vocalist who could carry it with the level of authenticity that Lainey embodies. We needed a wild woman and we for sure got one!”
The five-song One More Time project marks Aerosmith’s first new music in more than a dozen years, and features Tyler and Yungblud duetting on each track. The project’s lead single “My Only Angel” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and stayed in the top 10 for three weeks.
The collab follows Wilson’s recent stint hosting the 2025 CMA Awards (where she was the first woman to host the ceremony solo since 1991); Wilson also won three trophies that evening, including the coveted entertainer of the year accolade. Wilson is also up for three Grammys at next year’s Grammy Awards, while her single “Somewhere Over Laredo” is atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (marking her fifth Country Airplay chart leader) and in the top 40 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
