Killer Mike has apologized to Steph Curry and the NBA star’s wife, Ayesha Curry, following his comments reacting to a TikTok video ridiculing Ayesha.

The Atlanta rapper broadcast his apology during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay on Wednesday (Oct. 1), chalking it up to his words being “misconstrued” and saying that he was high at the time.

“Steph Curry, Ayesha Curry — boy, my wife done cussed me out,” Mike admitted. “My oldest daughter called me. My youngest daughter called me. … Homeboys that have played in the NBA called me.”

Killer Mike continued: “And I realized that maybe I shouldn’t smoke and get on Instagram. So let me say this, ’cause I appreciate you checking it; it shows you have a tremendous amount of respect for me. Mrs. Ayesha Curry and her husband Steph, I apologize for my statement being misconstrued.”

Mike’s comment stemmed from his reaction to content creator BooWoodz’s skit teasing Ayesha Curry, poking at her alleged thirst for attention to take the spotlight from her Hall-of-Fame hubby.

“She wants to be GloRilla or some sh–,” BooWoodz said in the clip posted in September. “Like we get it, bro. Just drop an an album or some sh–. Stop embarrassing this man, bro. This sh–‘s getting pathetic.”

Killer Mike had a laugh at the video and hopped into the comments, writing: “My n—a said she wanna go be Glo!!!” he wrote. “Man Steph doesn’t deserve the embarrassment frfr. God Bless him.”

Steph Curry got wind of Mike’s comments and he replied, defending his wife. “Naaaa not you Mike,” the Golden State Warriors superstar wrote, checking the rhymer. “I’m cool [staying] silent and letting these other clowns have [their] moment! And you’re the worst of them [BooWoodz]. But you’re better than that [Killer Mike]. Stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is. We r good over here.”

Mike clearly realized he was in the wrong and continued to repeatedly apologize, as Shannon Sharpe ribbed him throughout the interview.

 “I was just stoned up, trying to make a joke,” the Run the Jewels rapper offered up as an excuse. “It wasn’t my damn business, like my wife said. So, I’m sorry, y’all.”

Following the news that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, a core member of Donald Trump’s administration has warned that United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will be present at the game.

In a Wednesday (Oct. 1) appearance on “The Benny Show,” Corey Lewandowski — the president’s 2016 and 2024 campaign manager who now advises the Department of Homeland Security — was asked whether ICE will be on the ground at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, come Feb. 8, 2026.

“There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally,” was Lewandowski’s response. “Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you and apprehend you and put you in a detention facility and deport you.”

“Know that is a very real situation under this administration, which is contrary to how it used to be,” he continued.

The remarks come just three days after it was announced that Benito would be performing at the Big Game next year, six years after he made his debut on the Super Bowl stage during Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s headlining show. The news was particularly attention-grabbing as the rapper had previously decided not to perform in the United States while on tour due to concerns that immigration officers might target his audiences — something he referenced at the time of the announcement.

“I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States,” Bad Bunny wrote on X on Sunday (Sept. 28).

As for Lewandowski’s personal opinions about Roc Nation’s pick for the 2026 showcase, the conservative consultant isn’t a fan. “It’s so shameful they’ve decided to pick somebody who seems to hate America so much to represent them at the Halftime Show,” he said on “The Benny Show.”

“We should be trying to be inclusive, not exclusive,” Lewandowski added. “There are plenty of great bands and entertainment people who could be playing at that show that would be bringing people together and not separating them.”

It’s unclear where Lewandowski may have gotten the notion that Bad Bunny — who is from Puerto Rico, an unincorporated territory of the U.S. — hates America. Even as he was explaining his reasons for not taking his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour through the so-called Land of the Free in 2025-26, Benito specified in a September interview with I-D, “There were many reasons why I didn’t show up in the U.S., and none of them were out of hate.”

“I’ve performed there many times,” he continued at the time. “All of [the shows] have been successful. All of them have been magnificent. I’ve enjoyed connecting with Latinos who have been living in the U.S. … But there was the issue of, like, f–king ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”

The promoter of Rod Wave’s Last Lap tour is suing the R&B singer and rapper for allegedly holding onto $27 million worth of advances despite refusing to finish the 35-date trek.

Rod (Rodarius Marcell Green) faced the claims in a Monday (Sept. 29) federal court lawsuit from Grizzly Touring, a joint live events venture between AG Entertainment, Mammoth Touring and CTS Eventim. Grizzly partnered with Rod last year for a North American arena tour supporting his October 2024 album Last Lap, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

The Last Lap tour was supposed to include 35 shows, and Grizzly allegedly advanced Rod $57 million to cover expenses like travel, lodging and production costs. But according to the lawsuit, Rod only completed 26 performances that earned $30 million against the guarantee, leaving $27 million in advances that he now won’t repay.

“Artist refuses to pay Grizzly a single penny of the more than $27 million he owes, and was required to pay in the first instance, and has instead chosen to spend his advance on private jets and lavish second homes,” wrote Grizzly’s lawyers from the firm Weil Gotshal & Manges.

Grizzly alleges that many Last Lap shows had to be canceled because Rod upped the scale of his tour production without warning, requiring more time to put up and take down his arena sets and making it impossible to play shows back-to-back as originally scheduled.

But the lawsuit says Rod is now unfairly blaming these canceled dates on Grizzly, citing a September Billboard interview in which the singer said his promoter messed up routing for the tour. Rod also said in the Billboard interview that he plans to launch a new tour through his own company, Mainstay Touring, in late 2025 — a breach of the exclusivity clause in his contract with Grizzly, per the lawsuit.

Grizzly now wants a court order forcing Rod to repay his $27 million advance, plus additional financial damages for breach of contract. The promoter is also asking for an injunction blocking Rod from embarking on a self-promoted tour without Grizzly’s involvement.

“As a result of artist’s actions, Grizzly has suffered and will continue to suffer irreparable harm, including harm to its goodwill and business reputation,” reads the complaint. “Artist’s actions are a clear breach of Grizzly’s exclusive right to promote and market artist’s shows, which are uniquely popular.”

Reps for Rod did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday (Oct. 1). But the lawsuit attaches a Sept. 18 letter in which Rod’s attorney, David Rose of Pryor Cashman, denied that the singer breached any agreements with Grizzly.

Rose writes in this letter that the canceled Last Lap shows were “solely attributable” to Grizzly’s own errors, including “onerous and inexplicable routing and booking decisions” and failures to properly ship Rod’s touring equipment.

“As a result of Grizzly’s manifest breaches, the agreement and any exclusivity provisions contained in it are no longer in effect,” wrote Rose.

The long-out-of-print self-titled album from Buckingham Nicks debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales with 30,000 copies sold in the United States in the week ending Sept. 25, according to Luminate. The set was originally released in 1973 before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined Fleetwood Mac and is the only album from the pair as a duo.

Buckingham Nicks also arrives on Top Rock Albums, Indie Store Album Sales, Catalog Albums (No. 1 on each); Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Vinyl Albums (No. 2); and the Billboard 200 (No. 11).

Originally issued through Polydor, Buckingham Nicks has been out of circulation (though widely bootlegged) until its official remastered Rhino reissue on Sept. 19. The project also made its official debut on CD, streaming services and as a digital download through Rhino, alongside a number of vinyl variants.

Upon the album’s reissue, Buckingham and Nicks shared on their respective Instagram accounts: “We’re so happy this album is getting a second life. We hope you love it.”

With 30,000 sold, Buckingham Nicks tallies the biggest sales week in over a decade for any album by Buckingham, Nicks or Fleetwood Mac. The last time a set from any of those acts had a larger sales week was on the Top Album Sales chart dated Oct. 25, 2014, when Nicks’ 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault, sold 33,000 copies in its opening week (No. 7).

Further, with 18,000 copies sold on vinyl, the album notches the largest sales week in the format in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991) for any project by Buckingham, Nicks or Fleetwood Mac.
