We Knew It: Megan Thee Stallion Confirms Tory Lanez Shot Her: “You Dry Shot Me”
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper took to Instagram Live to make the admission after citing Lanez and his team’s shifty behavior. According to the “WAP” rapper, she believes Lanez and his PR reps have been sharing false narratives with the press. So an exasperated Meg felt she needed to set the record straight, completely this time. “Yes, Tory shot me,” said Megan matter of factly. “You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and sh*t. Stop lying. Why lie?” It was Megan who revealed she had even been shot, after initial reports said she cut her foot on glass. And after weeks (the incident occurred over a month ago in July) of social media detectives pointing to the jig and saying that Lanez...

On the fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention, the Chicks helped introduce nominee Joe Biden with a stirring performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Just a few weeks after the release of their long-awaited album Gaslighter, the Chicks did not sing an original tune, but instead showcased their sterling harmonies on the national anthem. Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire sounded pristine while remotely singing without any accompaniment. Along with a Convention-capping address from former Vice President Biden, Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Andrew Yang and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms were scheduled to speak on Thursday night (Aug. 20). John Legend and Common are also scheduled to perform.

Watch John Legend and Common Perform Emotional ‘Glory’ With Choir at 2020 DNC
Prior to Joe Biden’s speech to cap the 2020 Democratic National Convention on Thursday night (Aug. 20), John Legend and Common came together again to honor another great Democrat: Rep. John Lewis, the civil-rights leader who passed away last month at the age of 80. Following a video package honoring Lewis’ legacy, Legend and Common were shown sharing a stage and launching into “Glory,” the theme song for the 2014 Civil Rights Movement film Selma. While performing to what appeared to be an empty theater, the R&B star and hip-hop veteran were joined by a gospel choir, who were waiting in the wings to eventually harmonize on the song. “Glory” won the Academy Award for best original song at the Oscars in 2015. Lewis played a prominent role in the Selma to Montgomery marches, and it has bee...

UK Police Continue Crackdown on Illicit Raves After Breaking Up 200 in One Weekend
Despite concerted efforts by the Metropolitan Police, London has faced an influx of illicit raves over the past few months as COVID-19 restrictions have continued to shut down the nightlife sector. According to a report by Mixmag, over the course of one weekend, 200 illicit parties were broken up, adding to the 1,000 unlicensed events that have taken place in London since June. “The truth is that these events are incredibly unsafe, attract high levels of anti-social behaviour and can end in violence,” said Commander Ade Adelekan, a senior Metropolitan Police officer. “Sadly, some events have ended with officers being targeted with mindless violence.” Adelekan’s words come just days after two teenagers were recently sta...
