Travis Kelce seemed to have the time of his life vibing to the beat and shouting out to a crowd of more than 20,000 at Chris Lake‘s L.A. Historic Park show by Goldenvoice and Framework Friday night (June 19).

Mayor Zohran Mamdani Seemingly Confirms Date of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s NYC Wedding
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who’s engaged to Taylor Swift, showed up to night one of Lake’s special two-night sold-out event at Los Angeles State Historic Park, with a source telling Billboard Kelce shared a VIP table with teammates and friends ahead of getting on the mic beside Lake.
Lake’s got musical ties to the pop star, as he previously remixed Life of a Showgirl single “Opalite.”
And in a clip posted by Framework, who co-produced the event that spanned Friday-Saturday night with Goldenvoice, Kelce’s seen jumping and dancing with glee at Lake’s side, surrounded by bubbles filling the air.
Swift was not present at the show with her fiancé, and was rumored to be having ladies’ weekend with friends at her Watch Hill property in Westerly, R.I., on Saturday. The pair are, so it seems, set to wed very soon: Swifties wondered if New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani possibly confirmed gossip last week that the couple will tie the knot in Manhattan over the Fourth of July. A city official said Mamdani’s comment was only based on a TMZ report that Swift applied for a permit at Madison Square Garden for the July 4 weekend.
Lake’s show in L.A. on Friday featured supporting acts Ayybo, Ragie Ban and Kitty. Saturday’s lineup, led by Lake again, also has Hot Since 82, Club de Combat and Strawbry on the bill.
Lake reworked the pure pop of Swift’s “Opalite” into a club-ready track back in January after connecting with Kelce over Instagram DM; the NFL player told him his 2025 album Chemistry was a favorite. In creating his version of Swift’s release, Lake told Billboard in March that he had to figure out how to pair the “vibe and the sentiment of the song with the beats from my world, and make [the remix] make sense as something that would fit amongst other songs from my world without it standing out like a sore thumb.”
“Pretty much 99.9% of all the music I’ve ever played or made in my life is with minor chords,” Lake said. “To work with a vocal that wasn’t written to be used that way was really challenging. That’s the bit I’m actually the most happy with… If you listen to the original and to the feel of how her chorus comes in, it’s very happy and uplifting, whereas in the remix, I don’t know what emotion you’d call it, but maybe it’s sort of hauntingly emotive. It makes you feel a completely different way. Then the way it launches into the drop, I haven’t done that on a remix before. I’m really proud of it.”

“Mr & Mrs,” Lipa captioned the Instagram carousel.
The gallery featured intimate moments from the celebration, including close-up shots of the newlyweds embracing, a striking black-and-white portrait in front of the venue’s grand architecture, and joyful images of the couple dancing and popping a bottle of champagne.
Several celebrity friends congratulated the couple in the comments, including Elton John, Katy Perry and Troye Sivan. “Congratulations, an honour to have been there to celebrate your love,” John wrote. Perry added, “Sweetie babies,” alongside a red heart emoji, while Sivan left a white heart emoji.
Lipa and Turner’s star-studded celebration took place at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century mansion near Palermo, earlier this month. Approximately 300 guests attended the event, where John serenaded the newlyweds with a performance of his classic hit “Your Song.”
The Sicilian celebration drew an impressive guest list, including Donatella Versace, Joe Alwyn, Olivia Dean, Charli XCX and her husband, The 1975’s George Daniel, as well as Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker and his wife, Sophie Parker, and Mark Ronson and his wife, Grace Gummer.
The Sicily ceremony came just weeks after Lipa and Turner officially tied the knot during an intimate wedding at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall on May 31.
Lipa confirmed her engagement to Turner in June 2025 after months of speculation. The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when they were spotted together at an afterparty following the premiere of Masters of the Air.

“NEW COVER,” Ye (formerly Kanye West) wrote on Instagram alongside the black-and-white Bully deluxe artwork, which features a close-up of a child’s face flashing metal grills.
Bully was originally released on March 28 through Larry Jackson’s Gamma and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 behind BTS’ ARIRANG.
Alongside the deluxe release, Ye also unveiled a music video for the album’s opening track, “Kings,” once again tapping his wife, Bianca Censori, to direct the visual.
The surreal clip features Ye driving a convertible packed with an eclectic cast of passengers, including a nurse, an older man reading a newspaper while wearing sunglasses, and a wildly dancing figure with unusual facial features. As the vehicle slowly moves down a dusty road against a stark mountainside backdrop, a police car with flashing lights follows close behind.
The minimalist video culminates with Ye abruptly slamming on the brakes before being launched from the vehicle into an electric chair. Two officers then place a crown-shaped electrode on his head.
Ye recently launched the Bully deluxe rollout with the release of “Gemini Season,” accompanied by a Censori-directed video. Earlier this year, she also helmed the visual for “Father,” Ye’s collaboration with Travis Scott from Bully.
The rapper is also preparing for a series of live performances. His website recently revealed a July 4 Independence Day show at the Alamodome in San Antonio, along with a pair of Chicago dates scheduled for Sept. 3 and Sept. 4 at Soldier Field.
After performing for 70,000 fans at Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, Georgia, Ye is set to return stateside for two shows at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on June 26 and June 28. The Tampa concerts will mark his first U.S. performances since his April shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Additional international dates are scheduled throughout the summer, with stops in Albania and Spain in July before the tour continues in Portugal in August.

He added, “As the first signing to Bootzilla Records, Davie is helping lead the front line of what this label is here to bring to the people. He brings real soul, grit, and that feel-good fire that makes folks stop, listen, and believe every word he’s singing. We’re looking forward to rolling this thing out with him, letting his soul, fire, and truth touch the world the way only he can.”
Bootzilla Records is distributed through Jay-Z’s Roc Nation. The label “is built around artists Collins discovers organically, artists whose music is deeply rooted in tradition while connecting with audiences everywhere,” according to a press release.
“Bootsy is a legend,” Davie said in a statement. “He’s built a sound that’s unmistakably his own: funky, effortless, timeless, and full of personality. What inspires me most is how his music can be deeply rooted in Black musical traditions while still connecting with people everywhere. That’s something I aspire to as an artist.”
“Juneteenth is a day to celebrate together freedom for all, and Black music has always been the soundtrack of our cultural expression,” Davie said. “The song draws from a rich history of blues, soul, and funk, which have been the soundtrack to joyful moments and celebrations worldwide. So, I wanted to join the celebration by lending my voice.”

Tay Keith’s Death Mourned by BlocBoy JB, Hitkidd & More Fellow Musicians: ‘Thank You for Being My First Big Brother’

“It is with profound sadness that we confirm the passing of BryTavious ‘Tay Keith’ Chambers,” Keith’s family wrote in a statement sent to Billboard on Friday.
Keith was found unresponsive in his Nashville apartment during a welfare check by Metro Nashville Police on Thursday. His cause of death has not been reported.
With 11 top 10 hits and four No. 1 s on the Hot 100, including Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” and Drake’s “First Person Shooter,” Keith additionally holds this decade’s record for most No. 1s on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, with six. Born in Memphis but working out of Nashville, the prolific producer also expanded into country music as the founder of Drumatized, a label and creative hub serving both hip-hop and country artists.
“BryTavious was a visionary producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cultural force whose work helped define the sound of a generation. From Memphis to the global stage, he shaped countless hit records and left a lasting mark on music and culture. He was deeply committed to creating opportunities for others through his company, Drumatized, supporting emerging songwriters, producers, and artists,” his family said.
Of his accomplishments, they added, “A proud graduate and honorary professor of Middle Tennessee State University, BryTavious remained an active alumnus, mentor, and advocate for young creatives. He was also a passionate supporter of mental health awareness and cancer-related causes in honor of his late mother.”
“Above all, BryTavious was a beloved son, brother, uncle, family member, and friend,” the statement noted. “While the world knew him as Tay Keith, his family knew him as BryTavious — a source of love, strength, laughter, and guidance. We take comfort in knowing that his legacy will live on through the music he created, the opportunities he provided, and the lives he touched.”
Keith’s family said memorial arrangements will be shared at a later date, and that they “respectfully ask for privacy and continued prayers for his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”

“’We sure had a great time’ is an understatement. Thank you, Justin,” Nash wrote on Instagram alongside throwback photos with Cary. “We love you forever. Please keep his dear Linda close to your hearts. She is our family. There’s never been anybody like Justin.”
“Justin passed peacefully this morning and Linda was next to him,” a statement on the GoFundMe page reads. “Please continue to pray and give strength during this very difficult time.”
Cary had “suffered a serious stroke” in recent days and was receiving treatment at Albany Medical Center in New York, according to the fundraiser.
Earlier in the week, Nash encouraged fans to visit the GoFundMe page and support her bandmate.
“We love our brother so so much. Words don’t cover it. I know so many out there love him too,” she wrote on Instagram. “Saw his brilliance, second to NONE professionalism, class, humor (oh my lord the humor) wit, tough as an old boot as they say. Many more adjectives to describe him. Please pray for Justin and Linda.”
Sixpence None the Richer formed in 1992, and Cary joined the band in 1997, replacing former bassist J.J. Plasencio. That same year, the group released its self-titled album, which featured the breakthrough hit “Kiss Me.” The song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy nomination for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals in 2000.
Beyond his work with Sixpence None the Richer, Cary played bass for a number of artists and bands, including Counting Crows, Jennifer Knapp and Lee Brice, according to his website.

From a Michael Jackson-inspired opening to DeLorean-coded visuals, surprise guests and a closing stretch that brought the show full circle, Fuerza Regida launched their first-ever U.S. stadium trek with a performance built on memory, ambition and sheer force.
When Jesús Ortiz Paz (JOP) and crew opened their This Is Our Dream Stadium Tour at San Diego’s Petco Park on Thursday night (June 18), the San Bernardino band unveiled the most fully realized live production of their career on the biggest domestic stage they’ve played to date. Over the last several years, the group has pushed corridos into a more elastic, more commercially dominant and more visually ambitious space. In front of approximately 44,000 fans, that evolution came into focus in a show designed as much to trace their rise as to celebrate it.

Fuerza Regida Kicks Off This Is Our Dream Stadium Tour 2026: Every Song From Their First Show
Framed by a Back to the Future-inspired concept, the production moved through the group’s past, present and future with a black pickup-truck take on the DeLorean, archival footage, family skits, fashion-forward flourishes, local symbolism and well-placed guest appearances — transforming a catalog-driven concert into something closer to a live origin story. It also left room for plenty of swagger, mischief and the unapologetic attitude that runs through Fuerza Regida’s music.
That sense of narrative gave the night much of its shape. The set moved from early breakout records like “Radicamos en South Central” and “Sigo Chambeando” through the songs that expanded the band’s reach, including “CH y La Pizza,” “Bebe Dame,” “TQM,” “Harley Quinn” and “Qué Onda,” before arriving at newer material from their No. 2 Billboard 200-charting 111XPANTIA (2025) and a preview of the unreleased “67.”
Even before the first note, Petco Park was already buzzing with hometown and cross-border energy, as fans in Mexican jerseys, black leather, cowboy hats and vaquera-style fringe packed the venue to see the SoCal hometown heroes open their tour after watching Mexico defeat South Korea 1-0 in a World Cup match shown inside the Padres’ ballpark.
By night’s end, JOP, Samuel Jaimez, Khrystian Ramos, José García and Moisés López had delivered a show that felt expansive without losing its grit — a stadium-scale performance rooted in memory, movement and the unruly energy that got them there in the first place.

Bunnie’s book, titled Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic, was released on Feb. 17, and quickly became a bestseller, thanks to its raw and revealing anecdotes, which touched on everything from her work in the sex industry to her at-times rocky marriage to Jelly Roll.
Amazon has the hardcover version of Bunnie’s book discounted to just $16 right now — a 46% discount. You can also listen to Stripped Down as an audiobook, narrated by Bunnie herself.
The book is branded as a “modern-day rags-to-riches story,” spinning a tale of triumph against all odds. “Stripped Down is the rawest reflection of who I am in every form. It felt only fitting to name my book after the way I’ve always lived life — raw, unfiltered and in my naked truth,” Bunnie said in an interview withPeople in regards to the memoir.
The memoir is witty and, at times, intense. That wittiness comes in handy to bring levity to otherwise dark topics. According to a synopsis from Amazon, the book is “cold, clear evidence that no one is irredeemable. With a heavy dose of humor and a refreshing sense of self-awareness, Bunnie pulls no punches as she shares her journey of redemption while offering some homespun wisdom to those who need a little saving themselves.”
The book’s cover is a reflection of Bunnie’s — born Alyssa DeFord — time in the sex-work industry. The star stands topless with her jeans unbuttoned, bearing her truth both physically and emotionally, through this memoir. According to Bunnie, her stint in the industry enabled her to “reclaim her power” following her struggle with addiction and the abuse she faced as a teen. Flash forward, and Bunnie has built an empire around Dumb Blonde Productions, creating a successful podcast with thousands of monthly listeners.

On Monday, news broke that the couple were divorcing after 10 years together. According to court documents filed in Tennessee, Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18 in Williamson County. Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo met in 2015 and married in 2016.
On the podcast, Bunnie Xo started out by sharing that she still has love for Jelly Roll. “He is my best friend. He’s always been my best friend,” she said. “I love that man more than life itself. … Even today, behind the scenes, your girl is still riding for that man.”
After noting that she sometimes calls Jelly Roll her “husband” as she’s still getting used to them not being together, Bunnie Xo quickly addressed several rumors directly, including one report that she’s with Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger.
“No, I did not cheat on my husband and leave him for Chad, or none of that. … I am so sorry to Chad and Nickelback for this happening. … I love them and it’s so f—ed up that the Internet can just run with a narrative and people just run with it, so there’s no Chad and Bunnie Xo,” she said, adding, “Your girl is not ever going to be in another relationship. I’m about to be a playa.” She also put to rest a false rumor about Jelly Roll dating fellow country singer Jessie Murph, with whom he had the hit collab “Wild Ones.”
Later in the podcast, she responded to those who claimed the entire 10-year relationship between Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo was fake. “I don’t care what anybody says: It was real. The proof is in the pudding. Look what the f— we built, ladies and gentlemen. It’s crazy when you look at all we accomplished together, and the only way that could happen is two people who love each other.”
She says the divorce filing stemmed from an argument she and Jelly Roll got into on Mother’s Day.
“J and I have never been really good at having disagreements, so we were the type of couple who never argued. … He would be holding things in and I would be holding things in, and it was a recipe for disaster. … On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary, and in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and said, ‘Well, then file the f—ing divorce papers.’ And in our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing you don’t say, even though my husband has said it numerous times, ’cause he’s the runner. But when I say it, it really holds weight, because I’m not the type of person who says what they don’t mean. And I ended up leaving. I packed a bag and I left. … And I didn’t talk to my husband for weeks after that. And during that … we were so emotional, he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do and filing the divorce papers. Was I blindsided? Was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual, even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration. But was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call? … Absolutely. … My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms that you could ever have a divorce.”
Bunnie Xo also said that she and Jelly Roll each reacted to fame and Jelly Roll’s hectic schedule differently.
“I love my husband, but he literally is go-go-go. He literally will not sit down, he’s a kid in a candy store. The world is his oyster, and you know what? Go, baby, go. And that’s exactly what I told him in the beginning, ‘Just go, do whatever you got to do.’ I’m a little bit more reserved. I like to lay back, have my energy and then go pop out when I want to be seen. I don’t like the fame sh–. I’ve never liked this fame sh–. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what your status is, I don’t care how much I can gain from you — not saying this about my husband, I’m just saying this in general. I don’t like fame. I don’t have a good relationship with it. … I’ve been doing a lot of therapy. My husband is the complete opposite. He’s a politician. He loves to shake hands and kiss babies and that’s his personality.”
Bunnie said that over the past nearly two years, they had stopped communicating together.
“We stopped communicating together in the past year and a half, and I think it’s safe for me to say that I always loved my husband a little bit more than he loved me. I was very, like, always protecting him and always making sure he was OK and always chasing him, and I literally was the glue that held us together. And that’s not taking a shot, that’s me being 100% honest. I was always the chaser. In a twin flame relationship, there’s a runner and a chaser. … In this past year and a half, because I felt like he wasn’t pouring into me and I wasn’t pouring into him and we weren’t communicating and we just weren’t on the same page, I stopped chasing him. And when I say I stopped chasing him, I stopped everything. I just kind of went into myself and was dealing with a lot of depression and dealing with these losses by myself. Technically, if we want to get into it, I’ve been surrounded by death since 2022,” she said, referring to weathering several losses, including a tough journey of trying to have children, and the ending of her marriage to Jelly Roll.
Bunnie Xo has previously been open on her podcast about their journey through IVF treatments in the process of trying to have a baby together. Bunnie also updated fans on that front, saying, “We’re still having a baby together. We’re going to co-parent together. He’s my best friend. … J has been so f—in’ great about us having a baby together. We’re going to raise our little nugget as one big happy family.”
She also updated fans on the splitting of assets, noting that Bunnie Xo will be getting a property that has multiple houses on it, and many of the couple’s animals will live on the property. She also noted that she and Jelly Roll are still on good terms and said that he encouraged her to record the podcast.
“J and I literally talked for two hours today before we did this podcast. … He wants me to do this podcast,” she said. “He’s like, ‘Please clear up some sh– for me.’ I will always protect him.”
Bunnie Xo also said that Jelly Roll is starting to date again, and his soon-to-be ex-wife championed that. “Daddy Roll is probably in his finest season. … He looks so good and he’s healthier than he’s ever been. He’s started dating, which is great. I love that,” she said.
Elsewhere, she added, “Nobody cheated on the other person. It’s literally just we served our purpose for each other.” She also said, “What we built together as a team … it’s built on love and it’s ending with love. And we are continuing because we are having our little nugget together.”
Billboard has reached to Jelly Roll’s team for comment.

A judge says Russell Simmons can be sued for rape in New York by a former Def Jam executive, even though he now lives in Indonesia.
A Tuesday (June 16) order in New York state court, first obtained and reported by Billboard, rejects Simmons’ latest attempt to dismiss the civil lawsuit alleging he raped an anonymous executive in Def Jam’s music video department in the 1990s. Simmons, who has been accused of sexual assault by numerous women over the last decade, has denied all wrongdoing.

The former Def Jam employee, suing under the pseudonym Jane Doe, originally brought her claims against Simmons in federal court in 2024. She suffered a setback last year when a federal judge said Simmons, who has lived in Indonesia since 2018, was outside the court’s jurisdiction. She persisted and re-filed the lawsuit in state court — and on Tuesday, Judge Adam Silvera said New York law allows the claims to move forward despite Simmons’ expat status.
“The complaint alleges the defendant committed the tort of rape in New York state,” wrote the judge. “[In New York], a court may exercise personal jurisdiction over any non-domiciliary who commits a tortious act within the state, except as to a cause of action for defamation. Therefore, the complaint survives the motion to dismiss stage.”
In addition to their arguments about Indonesia, Simmons’ lawyers also argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed because Jane Doe released all possible claims against the Def Jam founder as part of a severance agreement with the label in 1997.
However, Doe’s attorneys say that purported release is a “sham” and that her signature was forged. Judge Silvera determined on Tuesday that there’s a “genuine dispute as to its authenticity,” meaning he’ll need to see evidence before deciding whether the document is enforceable.

Simmons and Doe will now begin discovery, where they will exchange evidence and depose each other’s witnesses. The judge set a court conference for August to hammer out a calendar for this often-lengthy process.
Doe’s lawyers at the firm Boies Schiller & Flexner declined to comment on the ruling on Wednesday (June 17). Simmons’ rep did not immediately return a request for comment.
Simmons, who founded Def Jam Recordings in 1984 and built a formidable hip-hop empire, first faced sexual abuse allegations in a New York Times investigation from 2017. More women came forward in the 2020 HBO documentary On The Record, and legal claims followed.
Doe’s lawsuit was filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for rape claims. She alleged that Simmons pinned her to a bed and raped her while she was at his apartment to get approval for a music video.
Simmons has settled with at least seven other women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct in recent years. Many of these accusers have since filed court petitions claiming he’s millions of dollars short on promised settlement payments.
Simmons has maintained that the abuse claims are all false. In a motion to dismiss the Doe lawsuit, his attorneys wrote, “Defendant hopes to vindicate himself to the many who have judged him unfairly, for many years, on the untrue and unproven allegations of others.”
Last June, Simmons went on the offensive and sued HBO for defamation over On The Record. He claimed the sexual assault accusations in the documentary were false, and that its producers ignored exculpatory information that would have cleared his name. That case is still pending.
