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.

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.

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...
Evan Rachel Wood Speaks About Marilyn Manson’s Defamation Lawsuit
Evan Rachel Wood spoke publicly about Marilyn Manson’s lawsuit against her for the first time today on The View. “I can’t obviously speak about any of the specific allegations of the lawsuit, but I’m not scared,” she said. “I am sad, because this is how it works.

This is why people don’t want to come forward. This was expected.” Manson (whose legal name is Brian Warner) sued Wood for defamation, emotional distress, and “impersonation over the internet” earlier this month. Wood first alleged Manson abused her in February 2021; HBO’s forthcoming documentary series Phoenix Rising follows Wood as she seeks justice for Manson’s ...

John Mayer Likens His ‘Neon’ Guitar Skills to ‘The Kid in School Who Could Turn His Eyelids Inside Out’
John Mayer knows his guitar playing skills on “Neon” are impressive, but he didn’t think they would become a trend on TikTok. During his first show at the Los Angeles Forum on Sunday (Mar. 13), before playing “Neon,” he shared that the song “is interesting to me because it’s one of my oldest songs, and I would have thought that time would just send it down the assembly line and the older songs go in the back and the newer songs go in the front.” “But, suddenly, this song now feels like a TikTok trick shot video challenge song and I feel kind of bad about it, because I wrote this song when I was playing alone in bookstores and cafés and stuff and wanted to get people’s attention,” he continued. “It’s a little cynical in the sense that it’s like, a little bit of circus trick.” Explore Explor...
K-Pop Label JYP Entertainment Doing ‘Full-Scale’ Expansion Into US
One of K-pop’s biggest record labels is firmly planting its foot into the U.S. market in the latest move to indicate South Korean pop music is increasingly creating significant stateside business.

JYP Entertainment, one of South Korea’s publicly traded agencies, was founded in the late 1990s by musician-producer J.Y.
