Nick Cannon Says He’ll Have More Kids, ‘God Willing’
Cannon is already a father to seven children. The performer had his first two children — twins Monroe and Moroccan — with ex-wife Mariah Carey in 2011. He also shares 3-year-old son Golden “Sagon” and welcomed daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell in December. Abby de la Rosa gave birth to his twin boys Zion and Zillion on June 17. The singer-actor then welcomed his youngest child, son Zen, on June 23 with Alyssa Scott. In July, Cannon revealed that every child he’s had was a planned effort. “I’m having these kids on purpose,” he said during an episode of his Power 106 radio show. “I didn’t have no accident.” Cannon later contradicted himself in an August interview with Charlamagne Tha God.

Evvie McKinney Scores Her First No. 1 on Gospel Airplay Chart With ‘Just Like God’
“After two years of writing and recording during the pandemic, to finally see my debut gospel radio single reach No. 1 is almost indescribable for me,” McKinney tells Billboard. “I wrote ‘Just Like God’ to express my heart: While I try never to be surprised by what God does, I want to always remain in awe of Him doing it. A huge thank you to all the radio programmers and music directors who allow my music to be heard.” “We are thrilled to have a No. 1 debut gospel radio single from a developing artist on our roster,” says Monica Coates co-executive director, Motown Gospel.

Pick Your ‘Poison’: Nessa Barrett on Owning Her Darkness & Finding a Brighter Day With Debut EP ‘Pretty Poison’
“I’ve always been pretty quiet about everything that I’ve been thrown into when it comes to drama and how people perceive me,” Barrett says. “Pretty Poison really is a moment for me to be like, ‘No, you’re wrong. This is me, and this is what I’ve been through.’” Barrett has shared glimpses of her journey before now, and each single gradually built her up in a way that eventually made her confident enough to really go there across Pretty Poison’s seven tracks. Weeks after landing in L.A. from her hometown of Galloway in southern New Jersey, determined to shed her TikTok shadow and fully pursue music, Barrett went to the studio and sat down at the piano. “Pain,” her debut single with Warner, poured out of her. “I decided to make it a basic piano ballad for a common reason that I litera...

‘The Matrix Resurrections’ First Trailer Reunites Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss
Warner Bros. has dropped off the long-awaited trailer for The Matrix: Resurrections, the highly anticipated fourth installment to The Matrix franchise. The visual features the continued story of Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), who seemingly find themselves stuck in a simulated reality once again. In the opening segment, Neil Patrick Harris appears in the role of Neo’s therapist, delving into the triggered psyche of his client during an office visit. “Am I crazy?” Neo asks, as his Thomas Anderson alter ego. “We don’t use that word in here,” Harris’ character responds.

New ‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season Two Trailer Sees Captain Jean-Luc Travel Back in Time
Jean-Luc Picard returns in the first trailer for Star Trek: Picard season two, revealed as part of Paramount+‘s Star Trek Day on Wednesday. The visual begins with a rare glimpse at Q, who places Jean-Luc, played by Patrick Stewart, and his team in an alternate reality where Captain Picard takes part in a totalitarian regime that commands the universe. The real Jean-Luc has his qualms with the new world and ultimately seeks to save the universe from its doomed future by going back to the past with his crewmates, a process which involves hijacking the Borg Queen (Annie Wersching). The team’s time-traveling excursion appears both long and treacherous, and upon revealing Picard and his posse’s arrival at 21st century Earth, the trailer cuts off after a slew of action-packed...

Watch Baby Keem Perform New Song “Issues” on ‘Fallon’
Two days before his next album The Melodic Blue hits the globe, Baby Keem made his television performance debut and hopped on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to debut a brand new track titled “Issues.” The new song is expressive of a solemn mood. “How could I resent you? Demons in tissue. Grandma and I missed you. You don’t know what we’ve been through. Don’t let the wolves come get you. Please don’t let them come get you”, Keem croons on the chorus, essentially communicating his feelings of going through struggles of losing loved ones and his upbringing. And aside from the song itself, the Carson-born artist — as he usually does — delivers on the visuals. Throughout the entire over-four-minute-clip, Keem is posted up on a stationary BMX bike while a thin layer of fog surrounds him ...

RICHIE FAULKNER On Next JUDAS PRIEST Album: The New Songs ‘Sound Fantastic’
In a new interview with Guitar World magazine, JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Richie Faulkner spoke about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the follow-up to 2018’s “Firepower” album. He said: “Obviously, we faced some challenges with schedules due to the pandemic. We wanted to keep it the same dynamic as ‘Firepower’ — as we all got together, played the songs in pre-production before recording them. Obviously, we haven’t been able to do that in the last 18 months because of the pandemic. So, we’ve got a ton of stuff written and a ton of songs almost ready to go. We just need to get together and start playing them together and ‘trimming the fat,’ as they say. You get a sense of that when you play them together — you get a feeling...
