Burna Boy & Wizkid Drop New Collaboration ‘B. d’Or’: Stream It Here
Burna Boy and Wizkid unveiled their latest collaboration, “B. d’Or,” on Tuesday (Dec. 14) via Atlantic Records. The Afrobeats track takes its title from the Ballon d’Or, an award presented on behalf of French magazine France Football to the best professional soccer player from around the globe each year. The two Nigerian singers first debuted the single live when Burna Boy made a surprise guest appearance at one of Wizkid’s three consecutive shows at London’s O2 Arena earlier in December. It’s far from the first time the pair have collaborated. In 2013, Burna Boy enlisted Wizkid for a guest feature on L.I.F.E. – Leaving an Impact for Eternity album cut “Jahs Love Is True.” Last year, the former returned the favor by offering up a verse on the latter’s track “Ginger” off his 2020 studio set...

ICED EARTH guitarist Jon Schaffer is one of more than two dozen members of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys who are being sued by District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine in an effort to recover the millions of dollars the city spent to defend the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 attack. According to CNN, the lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in Washington, DC, accuses 31 members of the extremist groups of “conspiring to terrorize the District” on Jan. 6, calling their actions “a coordinated act of domestic terrorism.” The lawsuit cites the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, a federal law created after the Civil War to protect civil rights and, as Racine noted, “to protect against vigilantes and insurrectionists.” “I think the damages are ...

The trailer for Everything Everywhere All at Once opens with Evelyn Wang (Yeoh) zoning out before a distant voice snaps her back to reality. “Mrs. Wang, are you with us?” a wigged Jamie Lee Curtis asks over a mountain of paper receipts. “Now you may only see a pile of receipts, but I see a story,” she says. “I can see where this story is going, and it does not look good.” At these stressful words, unseen hands suddenly pull Evelyn throug...

Goldenvoice Sues Live Nation over Coachella Day One 22 Festival
The average music fan may not know it, but there are two Coachella music festivals scheduled to take place in the desert of Southern California over the next several months. If AEG-owned promoter Goldenvoice has its way, however, the copycat Coachella Day One 22 will be wiped off the map. As Billboard reports, Goldenvoice filed a trademark infringement lawsuit on December 13th against AEG’s primary competitor Live Nation in US District Court in California. Of course, Goldenvoice is known for its Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival, which has taken place at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California since 1999. Ordinarily, the company would be suing the festival’s promoter, the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, but the Native American tribe is shielded from legal action due to...
