Zohran Mamdani is a known Kendrick Lamar fan, and showed his support for the rapper over Halloween weekend.

With New York City’s mayoral election set for Tuesday (Nov. 4), Mamdani — who is running to lead the city — made campaign stops at various night clubs around the city over the weekend. One video making the rounds on social media shows Mamdani dancing to K. Dot’s Grammy-winning Drake diss while grinning cheek to cheek. The club appearance was part of an event hosted by Bushwick Grand.

Mamdani spoke a bit about Kendrick and Drake’s 2024 feud in an interview with Pitchfork back in June, noting that Lamar “absolutely destroyed” Drizzy. He then tied in Lamar’s songwriting approach to the way he approaches his campaign’s focus on affordability in New York.

“At every juncture, he would bring it back to his central points, and I think that’s the key, is that you keep coming back to what your core message is,” Mamdani said at the time. “For me, it’s about the fact that New Yorkers can’t afford to live in the city they call home.”

Mamdani will face off against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa for Mayor of New York City on Tuesday, with polls continuously showing a strong lead for Mamdani.

Lamar fans also trolled Drake over the weekend after the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

After defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 on Saturday (Nov. 1), the Cali team shared a group photo of the players and staff wearing World Series Champions shirts. “THEY STILL NOT LIKE US,” the Dodgers wrote in the caption, quoting “Not Like Us” for all to see.

Gavin Adcock took quite the dive while performing his song “Deep End” at a recent concert in Canada, with the rising country star slipping and falling on stage mid-performance — and acquiring a big ole bruise in the process.

As captured in footage from the concert, a shirtless Adcock performs his 2023 track while walking across his stage with what appears to be a Jack Daniels bottle in hand. As he edges closer to the rim of the stage, the performer loses his balance and tips over headfirst, falling into the crowd as his cowboy hat tumbles off his head.

Adcock quickly recovered after that, jumping right up and greeting fans pressed up against the barricade as he walked past. In the comments of a video of the incident on TikTok, he wrote, “It happens.”

On Monday (Nov. 3), the singer showed off the gnarly mark his impromptu stunt left on his thigh. “Well, a lot of y’all saw me bust my a– off the stage the other night,” Adcock tells the camera, hiking up his bathrobe to show the purply bruise covering his upper leg. “I just wanted to show you the result of that. Look at that big ole bruise right there. S–t.”

“It only hurts a little,” Adcock assured fans in his caption.

Adcock is currently on tour following the release of his album Own Worst Enemy in August. The musician has been gaining notoriety this past year, thanks to both the success of the LP and his affinity for speaking his mind about other musicians. In June, for instance, he slammed Beyoncé’s Grammy winning Cowboy Carter album — “That s–t ain’t country music and it ain’t ever been country music,” he said at the time — and in September, he posted a video of himself at a festival arguing with a heated Zach Bryan, whom Adcock had previously criticized for allegedly blowing off a fan wanting an autograph.

Former Grateful Dead vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, 78, died in a hospice facility in Nashville on Sunday (Nov. 2) following a long battle with cancer according to Rolling Stone. After a successful stint as a session singer at the famed Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama where she sang backup on Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 songs by Percy Sledge (“When a Man Loves a Woman”) and Elvis Presley (“Suspicious Minds”), Godchaux-MacKay joined the Grateful Dead in San Francisco along with then-husband keyboardist Keith Godchaux, touring and performing with the band from 1971-1979.

“She was a sweet and warmly beautiful spirit, and all those who knew her are united in loss,” read the statement about her death shared with RS. “The family requests privacy at this time of grieving. In the words of Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, ‘May the four winds blow her safely home.’”

Donna Jean Thatcher was born in Florence, Ala. on Aug. 22, 1947 and began her decades-long music career as a member of the band Southern Comfort before moving on to session work, appearing on No. 1 songs by Sledge and Presley, as well as singing backup on sessions with Cher, Joe Tex, Duane Allman, Neil Diamond, Boz Scaggs and others before moving to the Bay Area and meeting Godchaux.

The couple got married in 1970 and both joined the Dead a year later, with Godchaux singing lead and backing vocals and Keith slipping into the spot formerly held by late band co-founder keyboardist/singer Ron “Pigpen” McKernan. The couple appeared on a string of the group’s classic 1970s albums, including 1973’s Wake of the Flood, 1974’s From the Mars Hotel and 1975’s Blues For Allah, on which Godchaux stepped up from the background to provide a co-lead vocal on “The Music Never Stopped” and the LP’s title suite.

She also appeared on 1976’s Steal Your Face and 1977’s Terrapin Station, where her powerful mezzo-soprano soared on the band’s disco-jam cover of Martha & the Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Street,” on which she shared the mic with guitarist/singer Bob Weir. She also took lead vocal duties and is credited with co-writing several songs on that album, including the gauzy ballad “Sunrise.” She took lead and composed the loose folky jam “From the Heart of Me” from the Dead’s beloved 1978 Shakedown Street LP, where she also shared vocals on “France” with Weir.

It would be the last Dead LP the Godchaux’s would appear on, though they were also key members of the legendarily road dog band’s 1970s touring ensemble before their departure in 1979, appearing on such beloved bootlegs as the 1977 Cornell University gig and the band’s 1978 shows at the Giza Pyramid in Egypt.

In addition to playing with the band, Donna also released music with husband Keith during their tenure, including 1975’s Keith & Donna duo effort, which in addition to their singing and playing features contributions from late Grateful Dead singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia on almost all the tracks. The couple also performed as part of Garcia’s side project, the Jerry Garcia Band, from 1976-1978 and formed their own side project, The Ghosts (later the Heart of Gold Band); Keith Godchaux, 32, died from injuries in a car accident in July 1980 shortly after the couple’s first concert together.

Donna Godchaux continued releasing solo music under the names The Donna Jean Band and Donna Jean and the Tricksters and issued her final studio album in 2014, Back Around, credited to the Donna Jean Godchaux Band with contributions from Zen Tricksters guitarist Jeff Mattson.

Godchaux was not a part of more recent tours and special anniversary concerts by the Grateful Dead’s various lineups under the names The Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur and Dead & Company. She did, however, make what would be one of her final appearances with the group at the Bonnaroo Festival on June 12, 2016, performing on the songs “Fire on the Mountain,” “Berth,” “Bird Song,” “Playing in the Band,” “Terrapin Station” and “Touch of Grey.” She also sat in for two other shows that summer, at Citi Field in New York in late June and Fenway Park in Boston in July.

Check out some of Godchuax’s performances below.

Jason Aldean is set to perform his songs “Try That in a Small Town” and “How Far Does a Goodbye Go” as part of Fox Nation’s seventh annual Patriot Awards, which will be held Thursday (Nov. 6) at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Brookville, N.Y. During the event, Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA CEO and widow of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will be honored with the inaugural Charlie Kirk legacy award.

Aldean and his wife, Brittany, will join Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters to present Erika with the accolade, which in the years to follow will be given to “a recipient who embodies Charlie’s mission and his spirit of free speech, faith and family,” according to a release from Fox Nation.

The Patriot Awards will stream live on Fox Nation, with Fox New Channel’s Sean Hannity serving as master of ceremonies. The event will honor military veterans, first responders and more, with awards including the young patriot award, Benjamin Hall’s honor award, T2T Stephen Courage Siller award, salute to service award, most valuable patriot award, heroism award and patriot of the year award.  

Erika was named CEO of Turning Point USA following the death of her husband, who was shot and killed during a Turning Point USA event held at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Aldean was among the artists who spoke out in the days after Kirk’s passing. The country singer had posted a photo on Instagram of the polarizing conservative activist with himself and wife Brittany, and praised Kirk in the caption.

Drake is almost definitely in his feelings following the conclusion of the 2025 World Series, which resulted in his home team losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who gladly took the opportunity to troll the rapper after their victory by using some Kendrick Lamar lyrics.

After triumphing over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 on Sunday (Nov. 2), the Cali team shared a group photo of the players and staff wearing “World Series Champions” shirts. “THEY STILL NOT LIKE US,” the Dodgers wrote in the caption, quoting Dot’s famous Billboard Hot 100-topping diss track against Drizzy.

The ribbing comes after Drake spent much of the World Series trolling the L.A. team’s star player, Shohei Ohtani, on social media. Following Game 5, the Toronto native had shared a picture on his Instagram Story of the pitcher wearing a sweater vest and wrote, “ONE MORE!!!!!!!,” after which he posted a photo the Jays’ Trey Yesavage striking out Ohtani and gloating: “Savage already [on the way] to the dugout boss lol.”

Drake was then in attendance at Game 6 on Friday (Oct. 31), which ended with a Dodgers win. After the team won again two days later, securing the World Series trophy, Champagne Papi shared a diplomatic post on Instagram, writing, “Congrats to the Jays for a dream season and a legendary World Series fight!!!”

The Dodgers, however, weren’t the only ones eager to tease Drake after their big victory. Nike also trolled the rapper post-game by sharing a cinematic montage of the L.A. team set to “Not Like Us,” while Fox Sports posted an edited photo of Lamar driving off with the World Series trophy, leaving a disappointed-looking Drake in the dust.

The repeated use of “Not Like Us” to drag Drake definitely adds insult to injury, as the musician’s headline-grabbing defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the song’s lyrics was recently dismissed by a judge. At the end of October, however, Drizzy filed an appeal to revive the case.

The track has been haunting Drake since a certain Compton icon dropped it in May 2024, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. This past February, Lamar won both song and record of the year at the Grammys for “Not Like Us,” which he performed on the world’s biggest stage just one week later at the 2025 Super Bowl.
