Listen to Martin Garrix, DallasK and Sasha Alex Sloan’s Long-Awaited Collab, “Loop”
At long last, Martin Garrix and DallasK have unveiled “Loop,” a fan-favorite track released today by way of Astralwerks. Fans found themselves ironically stuck in a loop as Garrix played out the record live throughout 2022. But he remained tight-lipped when it came to “Loop,” the hype of which hit its boiling point at the Dutch EDM superstar’s momentous Ultra 2022 performance. “Loop” was left off Sentio, Garrix’s electrifying debut club album, presumably due to its dance-pop direction. But that doesn’t make it any less striking. The emotive track features acclaimed singer-songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan, whose haunting vocal performance artfully explores the struggle to break free from the shackles of a pernicious relationship. Wa...

Teen ‘Stranger Things’ Star Noah Schnapp Apologized To Doja Cat, Says “Everything Is All Good”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mondadori Portfolio / Getty So, most of y’all know the saga by now: Doja Cat recently called out 17-year-old Noah Schnapp for sharing a message she sent to him asking him to hook her up with his Stranger Things co-star Joseph Quinn calling it “snake s**t.” The call-out kind of backfired on Doja costing her a couple hundred thousand followers because it turns out some people think it’s weird and inappropriate for a 26-year-old to hop in a teen’s DM to request a hook-up regardless of the fact that the man she was crushing on is at least age-appropriate. (Sure, you could argue they were both wrong—but one of them is a whole teenager.) Related Stories At any rate, Schnapp is ready to put the drama to bed and he posted a Tik Tok video saying he apologize...

Elon Musk’s Father Errol Had a Secret Child with His Own Stepdaughter
In 2019 Errol Musk, the 76-year-old father of Elon Musk, quietly had a child, a baby girl, with his own stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout. It was their second child together, following the birth of Elliot Rush — called Rushi — in 2018. Their daughter had remained a secret until this week, when Musk gave a new interview to The Sun. “She wasn’t planned,” he said. “But I mean, we were living together. [Jana] stayed here for about 18 months after Rushi was born.” Musk is 41 years older than Bezuidenhout. He was married to her mother Heide for 18 years, and had raised Jana since she was four years old. When news of her first pregnancy broke in 2018, it reportedly caused a bitter rift between Errol and son Elon, who was furious at his father for impregnating his stepsister. Adv...

Constance Wu Details Suicide Attempt in Return to Social Media
Constance Wu has returned to Twitter after a three-year mental health hiatus, revealing that the backlash to her series of “careless” tweets in 2019 led to a suicide attempt. She also announced a book called Making a Scene, which she wrote to “help people talk about the uncomfortable stuff in order to understand it, reckon with it, and open pathways to healing.” “I haven’t been on social media in almost 3 years,” Wu wrote in a note posted to Twitter. “Tbh, I’m a little scared, but I’m dipping my toe back in to say I’m here and while I was gone I wrote a book called Making a Scene. This next part is hard to talk about… but I was afraid of coming back on social media because I almost lost my life from it: 3 years ago when I made careless tweets about the renewal of my TV show, it ignited out...
Senate Candidate John Fetterman Hires Snooki to Troll Opponent Dr. Oz: “Jersey Will Not Forget You”
Despite living in New Jersey for several decades, Dr. Oz is running for the open Pennsylvania seat on the US Senate — something Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, his opponent, has strong feelings about. To make his qualms clear, Fetterman enlisted a little help from the Queen of New Jersey, Nicole “Snooki” LaValle, to remind Dr. Oz to never forget where he comes from. “Hey, Mehmet, this is Nicole ‘Snooki,’” the reality star says in a Cameo video shared on social media Thursday, adding that she heard Dr. Oz “moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to look for a new job.” “Personally, I don’t know why anyone would want to leave Jersey, ’cause it’s like the best place ever, and we’re all hot messes, but I want to say best of luck to you. I know you’re away from home and you...
Pantera’s 2023 Reunion Tour to Include Zakk Wylde and Anthrax Drummer Charlie Benante
Guitarist Zakk Wylde and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante will join Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown this summer to tour as Pantera, headlining a number of major festivals across North America and Europe and staging some of their own headline concerts, a source close to the group tells Billboard. The lineup has been given a green light by the estates of the band’s founders, Vincent “Vinnie Paul” Abbott and “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, as well as Brown, who last year said Wylde wouldn’t tour with a reunited Pantera if that were to happen. It’s unclear what changed his mind. Wylde has long been the consensus fill-in for “Dimebag” Darrell due to his relationship with the Abbott brothers and his success and stature in hard rock and heavy metal. Wylde is lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne and the founder o...
