Royce da 5’9 Trolls Benzino After Ridiculous Boxing Match Challenge [Video]
Source: Catherine McGann / Getty Benzino is still salty at some folks almost 20 years later after the fact. One individual is hitting him where it hurts. As spotted on Complex the Boston native recently went on Instagram Live with Queenzflip. While the conversation originally spawned out of him calling out the emerging media personality for showing favoritism to certain artists, the talk track then pivoted to Ray’s indelible hate towards Eminem. So much so the Boston native challenged Slim Shady and his long time collaborator Royce da 5’9 to a boxing match. “I will fight any one of these n***as. At 55-and-a-half-years-old. I will step in the ring with any of these n***as,” he revealed. “I feel like I’m in great shape. I would love to step in the ring with Royce or Eminem. And we can d...
Bruce Springsteen Blew a 0.02 During DWI Arrest — Quarter of the Legal Limit
Last November, Bruce Springsteen was arrested and cited for a DWI, reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area. However, new information reveals that his blood-alcohol content at the time of the arrest was just 0.02 — a quarter of the legal limit in New Jersey. Springsteen was detained on November 14th at Gateway National Recreation Area, a federal park in New Jersey. According to the Asbury Park Press, a source familiar with the case confirmed that Springsteen’s BAC was nowhere near the number needed to be arrested. In all states except for Utah, it is illegal for anyone 21 years or older to operate a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08 or higher. A BAC level of 0.02, which Springsteen had, is “the lowest level of intoxication” that can impact the brain, resulting in a slightly a...

Morgan Wallen Uploads Apology Video: I Was “On Hour 72” of a Bender
Morgan Wallen has uploaded a lengthy video in which he apologizes for using a racial slur.

Phoebe Bridgers Talks SNL Guitar Smash and Marilyn Manson on CNN: Watch

Now, she has opened up about both of those moments in a new video interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. Amanpour began the 14-minute-long TV segment by asking Bridgers about her SNL performance, specifically the guitar smash that has drawn both melodramatic criticism and praise.

“For me, it wasn’t until I actually went to Malibu, slowed down, focused on my son, and then my father passed and I focused on having more kids and more of a family and taking my time with the writing, because I was writing so much, but nothing was really saying anything that mattered to me as a whole, as a whole,” he continued. “Bits and pieces. Then I just kind of started to realize that I always wanted to be an artist’s artist, a singer-songwriter, and all I cared about was my catalog, was the songs.
