Rick Ross Voices Support for LGBTQ Community, Stating Hip-Hop Has “Already Embraced” Them
In a recent interview with Funky Dineva, Rick Ross voiced his support for the LGBTQ community in hip-hop. His comments come after the rapper was called out in 2018 for using a homophobic slur in his feature on the Meek Mill track “What’s Free” when referencing 6ix9ine. Towards the end of the conversation, Dineva asked Ross, “What is your take on gay rappers, like [Saucy] Santana perhaps, coming into the game?” Without skipping a beat, Ross answered, “I’m not familiar with the name Santana, but live your life, chase your dreams, and go hard, man. Go hard.” The rapper was then asked another question regarding whether or not he thinks that the LGBTQ community has been embraced by hip-hop, to which he says, “I believe hip-hop has already embraced it. Without a doubt. Yeah.” Elsewhere in the in...
James Gunn Denies Rumors of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Prequel About Thanos, Nebula and Gamora’s “Family-Like” Relationship
Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn shut down reports of a possible prequel storyline, reminding fans of the relationship between Thanos, Nebula and Gamora. A tweet claimed that the Guardians of the Galaxy prequel series will focus on “Gamora’s family-like relationship with Nebula and Thanos,” to which Gunn responded, “lol no – he tortured them, not exactly a “family-like” relationship.” While the filmmaker did not directly deny any involvement of Thanos and Nebula in the supposed prequel series, he made sure to clarify that any so-called familial relationship the three had was not familial at all. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to hit theaters on May 5, 2023 and will see a cast comprised of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, P...
Benedict Cumberbatch Believes ‘Doctor Strange’ Success Will Be “On the Level” of ‘No Way Home’
Ahead of the release of Marvel‘s highly anticipated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Benedict Cumberbatch has teased fans of what to expect for the upcoming film. In a recent interview with Empire, Cumberbatch promises fans that Doctor Strange is “a big, big movie.” He added, “It’s going to be an absolute riot. And if it brings off the level of ambition it’s got, we’re going to have a success on the level of Spidey. There you go, I’ll put my flag in the sand.” If it is anything that blockbusters like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame have shown is that the Doctor Strange inclusion into the storyline is quite popular when it comes to marvel films. The second installment of Doctor Strange sees Cumberbatch’s character play alongside Xochitl Gomez as he...
Darth Maul’s Return Reportedly Replaced by Darth Vader’s in Disney+ Series ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’
Darth Maul, the Sith Lord who faced Ewan McGregor‘s Obi-Wan in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, was supposedly meant to return in the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, but was written out and replaced by Darth Vader instead. According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources state that Ray Park was “in active prep” to reprise his role as the fan-favorite villain but was written out when the show’s original writer, Hossein Amini, was removed from the project. Lucasfilm was reportedly not happy with the scripts, and Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau were not on board with the storyline of Obi-Wan coming out of hiding to protect a young Luke Skywalker as it was too similar with The Mandalorian‘s. Filoni was also allegedly the one who “keyed in on a way for Vader to be brought back” a...

He said, “Well…I would love to get in the ring with Spider-Man. I think Tom Holland is amazing, and we’d make quite a dynamic duo, I guess.” It would not be a surprise if audiences see another MCU crossover take place on the big screens. Sony’s e...
DOLLY PARTON ‘Respectfully’ Removes Herself From ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Consideration
Dolly Parton has taken herself out of the running to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame later this year. Earlier today, the 76-year-old country music legend asked the Hall to withdraw her name from the 2022 ballot, saying “I don’t feel that I have earned the right.” Parton was one of 17 artists nominated for the Rock Hall class of 2022, along with Eminem, Lionel Richie, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, JUDAS PRIEST and Beck, among others. Writing on social media, Parton told her fans: “Dolly here! Even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I don’t feel that I have earned that right. I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out. “I do hope that the R...
HOT WATER MUSIC – HOT WATER MUSIC
RATING: 8.5/10 HOT WATER MUSIC sound like a band that are sure of their identity, which is just what one would expect from musicians who have been writing since the mid ’90s. As exemplified by the single “Collect Your Things and Run”, they abide by a confident simplicity that shows no signs of faltering, even in times of anxiety. (“You’re not the only one in your head/ Don’t lose track now, the right ones must be fed/ I tell ya now, don’t wait, don’t hesitate, I know/ Don’t lose track of yourself.”) “Feel The Void” is an album armed with both the wisdom of experience and the diehard enthusiasm of punk rock. The songs are blunt and straightforward, yet there is enough variety on the record to keep things interesting. &#...

TOOL Won’t Take 13 Years To Release Next Studio Album
In a new interview with the Cleveland Scene, TOOL drummer Danny Carey said that the band’s fans won’t have to wait another 13 years for a new studio album, like they did prior to the arrival of 2019’s “Fear Inoculum”. “It was frustrating not having new material to play, but that time really flew by quickly,” he said. “I guess that’s just the nature of life. It’s like when you have kids, and they’re grown up, and you go, ‘What happened?’ It took a long time, but we did a lot of touring and tried to grow in different ways and take a break from each other to keep things fresh. We also wanted to bring in outside influences, so we would have something new to say to each other musically. It all came together really wel...
Arcade Fire Announce Benefit Concert for Ukraine Relief
Arcade Fire have announced a last-minute benefit show in New Orleans, with proceeds going to Plus1’s Ukraine Relief Fund.

Universal Music Group has also suspended its operations in Russia. Twitter content This content can also be viewed on the site it o...
Does Machine Gun Kelly’s New Album Cover Look Like Japanese Breakfast’s Jubilee? Michelle Zauner Doesn’t Think So.
Machine Gun Kelly detailed his new album Mainstream Sellout today, listing the album’s features and sharing its artwork. After Rolling Stone noted that its prominent use of tomatoes seemed similar to the use of persimmons on the cover of Japanese Breakfast’s Jubilee (shot by photographer Peter Ash Lee), Michelle Zauner jokingly tweeted that this is “2022’s feud of the year.” Zauner jumped on the phone to discuss how she doesn’t think Machine Gun Kelly infringed on her creative territory. “I don’t actually think it looks anything like my album cover at all,” she said, “but I think it’s very funny that Rolling Stone put up an article about it just because there’s a circular fruit in the foreground. I mean his is people throwing tomatoes at him, and mine is persimmons peacefully hanging...
