Former Bad Boy Entertainment president Kirk Burrowes has sued Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mother, Janice Small (a.k.a. Janice Combs), for allegedly coordinating with her famous son and other co-conspirators to forcefully strip him of his alleged ownership stake in the iconic hip-hop label.
Per the complaint — filed by attorney Tyrone Blackburn on Wednesday (Feb. 26) in the Southern District of New York — Burrowes claims that alongside her son, then-Bad Boy Entertainment attorney Kenneth Meiselas and other unknown co-conspirators, Smalls illegally seized his alleged 25% financial stake in Bad Boy and his 15% share of the label’s annual earnings through “intimidation, violence, fraudulent, misrepresentation and financial concealment.”
The complaint references a specific incident in May 1996 during which he claims Combs stormed into his office and proceeded to threaten him while wielding a baseball bat. Fearing for his safety, Burrowes — who claims to have co-founded the label — claims he signed a contract under duress without seeking any legal counsel, effectively conveying what he claims was his 25% interest in Bad Boy to Combs.
Burrowes, who says he served as Bad Boy’s COO/GM at the time of the 1996 incident (he was promoted to president the following year) and was “instrumental in shaping the company’s success,” alleges that losing out on his claimed 25% ownership stake and Bad Boy stock options caused him “significant financial compensation and employment benefits” along with “irreparable personal, psychological and professional harm.”
“Smalls carefully maintained a facade of integrity, portraying herself as an innocent bystander while orchestrating plaintiff’s financial and professional downfall behind the scenes,” the complaint reads.
The lawsuit further claims that Smalls requested Burrowes’ counsel as recently as 2021 on a documentary about the history of Bad Boy, but that she ultimately reneged on their compensation agreement.
Burrowes previously filed suit against Combs over the alleged 1996 incident in 2003, but that earlier complaint was eventually dismissed in 2004 by a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. (Combs is currently behind bars awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in a wide-ranging criminal case.)
Burrowes is seeking the return of his alleged 25% Bad Boy stake or compensatory damages matching the value of that stake, as well as an audit of Bad Boy’s earnings since the company’s origination.
Last April, Burrowes’ attorney Blackburn was referred to the grievance committee for New York’s federal court district by Judge Denise Cote for his alleged history of frivolous lawsuits. The judge cited his conduct in five different cases and claimed his filings featured “glaring deficiencies.” Two months prior, Blackburn had filed a sprawling lawsuit against Combs on behalf of producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr., who accused the mogul of sexual assault, sex trafficking and various other forms of misconduct.
Billboard reached out to Combs Global in an effort to reach a representative for Smalls but did not hear back by press time.

Kendrick Lamar continues a historic campaign on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart as his single “Luther,” with SZA, ascends to the No. 1 spot on the list dated March 1. The track replaces the rapper’s own “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay, after its three-week reign. As another SZA collaboration, “30 for 30,” pushes 2-3 and his former leader “Squabble Up,” repeats at No. 4, the quartet gives Lamar a second straight week of dominating the chart’s top four spots.

With his performance on Rhythmic Airplay, Lamar is just the second artist to simultaneously occupy the top four ranks on any Billboard airplay chart. He joins his rival Drake, who managed the feat for 11 separate weeks on the Rap Airplay survey, for seven frames in March-April 2013 and four in May-June 2018. As Drake’s runs all involved at least one song where he was in a featured role on a track by another lead artist, Lamar is the first artist to complete the achievement in all lead or co-lead capacities.
“Luther,” which concurrently rises to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, captures the Rhythmic Airplay crown as the most-played song on U.S. panel-contributing radio stations in the week of Feb. 14-20, according to Luminate, a 5% gain from the previous week.
“Luther” gives Lamar his ninth No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay. A full third have come in 2025 alone, with “Squabble Up” reigning for two weeks in January and “TV Off” leading the ratings for three weeks in February.
Here’s a review of the rapper’s entire chart-topping collection on the radio chart:
“Humble.,” three weeks at No. 1, beginning June 6, 2017“Loyalty.,” feat. Rihanna; one, Sept. 30, 2017“Love.,” feat. Zacari; one, Dec. 30, 2017“Pray for Me,” with The Weeknd; two, April 18, 2018“Like That,” with Future and Metro Boomin; four, May 18, 2024“Not Like Us,” 12, June 15, 2024“Squabble Up,” two, Jan. 18, 2025“TV Off,” feat. Lefty Gunplay; three, Feb. 8, 2025“Luther,” with SZA, one (to date), March 1, 2025

For SZA, “Luther” adds a seventh Rhythmic Airplay No. 1 to her account and first since “Saturn” landed at the top last May. Here’s a recap of her leaders:
“Kiss Me More,” Doja Cat feat. SZA; two weeks at No. 1, beginning June 26, 2021“I Hate U,” one, March 19, 2022“Kill Bill,” three, March 4, 2023“Snooze,” two, July 15, 2023“Rich Baby Daddy,” Drake feat. Sexyy Red & SZA; two, Dec. 2, 2023“Saturn,” one, May 11, 2024“Luther,” with Kendrick Lamar; one (to date), March 1, 2025
Lamar and SZA are in prime position to improve to a 10th and eighth champ, respectively, and replace themselves at the summit. Their other current collaborative single, “30 for 30” (billed to SZA with Kendrick Lamar), advances to the runner-up spot with a 14% surge in weekly plays.
Beyond the top tracks, both Lamar and SZA cement their stranglehold with more titles on Rhythmic Airplay. SZA’s third tune in the top 10, “BMF,” pushes 12-10 (up 9% in plays), while Lamar has a fifth, the AzChike-assisted “Peekaboo,” which debuts at No. 37.
Lola Young may be “Messy,” but she’s been climbing the chart with her breakthrough, viral single.
“Messy” hit No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart, dethroning Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True.” The track also peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“What I’m realizing about myself as an artist is that I’m not about the glitz and the glam — I don’t scream ‘Hollywood’,” the rising star previously told Billboard of her musical journey. “For a long time, I wanted to represent this ideal of Westernized beauty – but then I realized I’m not that. I now choose to give realness and truth. I’ve got a bit of a belly out, I f–cking swear a bunch and I have fun. And that’s what people are resonating with.”

iHeartMedia expects first-quarter revenue to decline in the low single digits and full-year revenue to be flat, suggesting the radio giant hasn’t yet turned the proverbial corner financially, according to the company’s latest earnings release. After revenue was up 5.5% in January, February is on track for a 7% decline as consumer sentiment dropped to a level not seen since 2021, CFO Rich Bressler said during Thursday’s earnings call.
The company ended 2024 with fourth-quarter revenue up 4.8% to $1.11 billion, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) spiked 18.2% to $246.2 million. Revenue growth was below the company’s previous guidance due to lower-than-expected political advertising and a slowdown in non-political advertising before the election, said Bressler.
The fires in Los Angeles created a disruption to iHeartMedia’s business in the first quarter, although CEO Bob Pittman called it “a little bit of a blip” and said a larger impact comes from people returning to work. “Traffic is getting long again, and I hate to sound cynical here, but traffic jams are our friend,” he said. “We’re a company that benefits from people with longer commutes and more time in the car.”
Mired in a weak advertising market for broadcast radio, iHeartMedia is busy finding ways to create value from its broadcast assets. To that end, in March the company will make its broadcast advertising inventory available to programmatic buyers through Yahoo DSP and Google’s DV360 ad-buying platforms. “This is a critical early step in aligning our broadcast assets with digital buying behavior,” said Pittman, “which will allow iHeart’s broadcast radio assets to participate in the growing digital and programmatic [total addressable markets].”
Last year, iHeartMedia took steps to cut costs and improve its balance sheet. The company expects to have net savings of $150 million in 2025 and beyond — $200 million from cost reductions undertaken in 2024 and an additional $50 million of expenses. In December, iHeart reduced its debt load and extended maturity dates through a debt exchange that attracted a 92.2% participation rate.
For the full year, iHeartMedia’s revenue totaled $3.86 billion, up 3% year-over-year (and flat if political advertising is excluded). Adjusted EBITDA increased 1% to $705.6 million while EBITDA margin improved to 22.0% in 2024 from 19.5% in 2023. The multiplatform group, which includes the company’s core broadcast stations, saw its revenue decline 2.6% to $2.37 billion, while the digital audio group’s revenue increased 8.9% to $1.16 billion due to increased advertising demand for podcasting. The audio and media services group had revenue of $327 million, up 27.4%.
Cumulus Media, the country’s third-largest radio company by revenue, fared a bit worse in 2024. For the full year, Cumulus’ revenue fell 2.1% to $827.1 million and adjusted EBITDA dropped 8.8% to $82.7 million. While digital revenue grew 5.3% to $154.2 million, broadcast revenue slipped 5.1% to $564.1 million. In the fourth quarter, revenue dipped 1.2% to $218.6 million and adjusted EBITDA grew 9.8% to $25 million.
Cutting costs and restructuring debt are common tactics in the radio business. Just as iHeartMedia shaved its expenses, Cumulus will realize $43 million in annualized cost savings, with $15 million of savings coming in 2024. In addition, in May, Cumulus completed a debt exchange, which lowered its outstanding debt by $33 million and extended maturity dates while securing “attractive” interest rates.
iHeartMedia shares fell 7.9% to $2.09 before earnings were released, and dropped another 9.9%, to $1.90, in after-hours trading. Through Thursday, iHeartMedia shares are down 1.9% year-to-date but have more than doubled since May 2024.
Cumulus, which reported earnings earlier in the day, saw its share price decline only 0.3% to $0.90. Year-to-date, Cumulus shares have gained 16.9%.
“I thought we had something good in our hands,” Damiano David sings on his new single, “Next Summer.” But what fans actually have is something good in our ears.
The song — the third single from the Måneskin frontman’s upcoming debut solo project — arrived on Thursday (Feb. 27) and finds the Italian musician continuing on his pop journey, this time with a notable ache and jealousy in his voice.
“Call me when he breaks your heart next summer/ Baby, I’ll be waiting here/ Call me when you’re all f–ked up, my lover, and I’ll be there to lick your tears/ You had to throw away our love to find out nothing’s as good as us/ So call me when he breaks your heart next summer,” he sings, full of longing on the tender chorus.
While the song may seem like it’s about a spurned lover bitter about the end of his relationship and eager to rekindle the snuffed flame, David says there’s much more to it.
“I put down in words a moment I lived during the summer,” he tells Billboard of the track that he wrote while he was in Los Angeles last fall. “I guess it was a way, as I always do with my music, to cope with my experiences in life and feelings.”
“The lyrics are very simple, quite childish. So I’ve asked myself why I ended up with this kind of lyrics, and I guess it’s because what I tried to do was tell a more intense and complicated feeling in the easiest way possible,” he explains. “It’s about not dealing with yourself and being stuck in your own limits without really understanding why things happen. It’s about not being able to face our mistakes, and instead, in a cowardly way, wishing that your mistakes could be someone else’s.”
Ahead of “Next Summer,” the musician released a cover of Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson’s “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” as a Spotify Single for Valentine’s Day. From his own upcoming project, he dropped the peppy “Born With a Broken Heart” in October as his second solo single, and “Silverlines” in September for his debut song.
Speaking to Billboard at the time about going his own way musically and introducing listeners to the solo Damiano David via “Silverlines,” he shared of the vulnerable and melancholic track, “It’s basically describing my whole journey.” He added, “The goal of this song is not topping the charts. I’m introducing myself to the world … But I’m just very glad I have the opportunity to do this, and the results will come.”
What’s also coming for the singer is a 33-date world tour, with multiple shows already sold out. That includes the tour-opening performance Sept. 11 in Warsaw, followed by dates in Berlin, Paris, London and Rome before the trek heads to Australia, Japan and South America, and finally landing stateside in Seattle Nov. 21. The tour is slated to end Dec. 16 in Washington, D.C.

A woman has sued 300 Entertainment CEO Kevin Liles for allegedly harassing and raping her while the two worked together at Def Jam in the early 2000s, according to documents filed in New York Supreme Court on Wednesday (Feb. 26).
Filed by attorneys Lucas Franken and Mallory Allen at New York firm Pfau Cochran Vertetis, the suit claims that Liles began sexually harassing the woman — identified as Jane Doe in the complaint — beginning in 2000, shortly after she started working as the executive assistant to Def Jam’s then-GM. During this time, she alleges that Liles — who was then serving as president of the storied hip-hop label — “pressed his body” against her breasts, grabbed her buttocks and made “sexually inappropriate comments and advances towards her on numerous occasions, “which she rebuffed.”
The woman claims this behavior ultimately culminated in Liles sexually assaulting and raping her.
Also named as defendants are Def Jam and its corporate parent Universal Music Group, which the woman accuses of “permitting, aiding, abetting, conspiring, ratifying and enabling” Liles’ harassment and rape. The suit alleges that the companies “knew or should have known of” Liles’ alleged propensity for sexual abuse “motivated by gender animus” and are liable for “ignoring, dismissing, and failing to take any action” against him, including by reporting him to the police. It also claims that the companies “permitted” Liles “to entrap their employees in locations that enabled his sexual abuse, assault and rape.”
As a result of the alleged harassment and assault, the woman says she suffered “severe emotional and psychological distress and personal physical injury…including severe mental anguish, humiliation, and emotional and physical distress.”
The lawsuit was brought under the Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law in New York, which allows survivors of gender-motivated violence whose claims were previously time-barred to file suit against their alleged abusers.
The woman is asking for compensatory and punitive damages, among other relief.
Liles served as president of Def Jam Recordings in the late 1990s and early 2000s before being named executive vp at Warner Music Group. He went on to found the management firm KWL Enterprises in 2009 and, later, record label 300 Entertainment alongside Lyor Cohen, Roger Gold and Todd Moscowitz in 2012. Following 300’s acquisition by Warner Music Group in 2022, he assumed the role of chairman/CEO at 300 Elektra Entertainment. He stepped down from that role in September.
Representatives for Universal Music Group, Def Jam and Liles did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Travis Scott:
Right now, my favorite sport is baseball. Baseball is like, kind of like a chill, moderate sport, and with a little high energy. I just like the finesse of it. It’s just fire. My mom, my grandmothers, my dad, my aunts, and my whole family always went HBCU, Prairie View, Grambling. So I come from a long line of family that’s been there. It’s always been instilled in me. So it’s good to just try to, like, uplift it and get it to the next level.

Teyana Taylor
I feel like, if I put my mind to any sport, I could really do any sport. I’m very athletic. I wouldn’t say I’m like, the best, but like, I put my mind to it, yeah.
Swae Lee:
I used to play softball when I was like eight. I caught like eight balls last year. So, you know, I’m saying in the outfield with it.
Sydney Thomas:
I’ve never played softball before, so I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes. I don’t talk trash. I’m very calm, but I will destroy.
Slim:
I’m an athlete.
Bun B:
Who me? I’m in the service industry.
Slim:
I ain’t trying to do too- nothing that’s gonna make my knees go bad. I just run straight. Let’s do track.
