Swizz Beatz Addresses Backlash Over Verzuz Deal With Phony Stark

HipHopWired Featured Video

X Verzuz partnership

Swizz Beatz took to social media to respond to backlash after announcing the Verzuz partnership with Elon Musk and X, formerly Twitter.

On Friday (June 21), Swizz Beatz shared a set of photos in a post on his Instagram account showing himself attending the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity with fellow star producer and artist Timbaland. It was at the festival on Wednesday where he and Timbaland made the surprise announcement of a deal with Elon Musk to release all future content through X, formerly Twitter. The first photo shows the two in t-shirts highlighting the move, with a phrase by Swizz emblazoned on it in cursive, saying, “We will show you better than tell you.” That was repeated in the caption of the post, with Swizz Beatz adding, “Blessings to all” with emojis.

The comments on the Instagram post weren’t as cheerful, as individuals called out the two mega-producers for striking a deal with a polarizing figure such as Musk and announcing the news on Juneteenth. “It’s cool to ‘show us’ but don’t play in our faces and act like folks don’t have a valid reason to question this partnership,” one commenter wrote. “But nobody said anything before we been on that platform since Verzuz started,” Swizz Beatz wrote in response.

Another commenter wasn’t as civil, writing: “It’s crazy how we always have to go and get the oppressor to help us. What did you need #verzuz to do, broadcast from the moon??? Y’all didn’t need that man. Owning something 100% & then having your oppressor have a say in your business is working backward.” Others also pointed out how Swizz needed to be more understanding since returning from the hajj with his family prior to the Cannes Lions Festival.

The post comes after the joint announcement with Timbaland, where the Ruff Ryders CEO spoke effusively about the partnership. “We are beyond thrilled to have found the best partner for Verzuz,” he said in the statement. “Not only are we excited to have Verzuz on X, we’re excited to help X build the biggest entertainment company in the world. I would like to thank Elon Musk, Linda Yaccarino, Brett Weitz, Mitchell Smith and the entire X team for believing in the Verzuz vision. We can’t wait to get to work.”

They both also promised to build “Entertainment Businesses” on X in the future.

The new self-titled project will be released through Future Classic and Transgressive, and features collaborations with artists including Kim Petras and BC Kingdom, who are on the LP’s lead single, “Reason Why,” which was released Monday (June 24). The follow-up to Sophie’s lauded 2018 debut LP, The Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides, Sophie will be the final Sophie album release.

Trending on Billboard

The project was produced by Sophie along with, a press release states, “her most cherished collaborators,” and was nearly done when she died. The release continues that “it has been lovingly finalized by those who hold her closest,” including Sophie’s brother and frequent collaborator Ben Long.

Speaking to Billboard in June of 2021, Long said there were “literally hundreds” of unreleased tracks the artist had made before her death.

“The idea Sophie and I discussed many times was to do one abstract experimental album and then a pop record — this was going to be the pop one — and to keep going on that cycle for years,” he said. “I don’t want to be like, ‘We’re going to put everything out,’ because sometimes Sophie didn’t want it to or it wasn’t finished. But it was quite clear with a lot of songs, just from the fact that we had been working on them and mixing the album, that I know the direction a lot of things were supposed to be going.”

Prince, Keith Urban, Green Day & More Selected for Hollywood Walk of Fame: See the Full List

Prince, Keith Urban and Green Day are among 36 entertainment professionals who have been selected to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Prince, who died in 2016 at age 57, will be a relatively rare posthumous induction. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, will be honored in a double ceremony.

The 2025 class was announced at a press conference held at Ovation Hollywood on Monday (June 24). Music producer Jimmy Jam and actors Joe Mantegna and Niecy Nash joined Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president/CEO Steve Nissen to make the announcement. Jimmy Jam was a close associate of Prince in the early 1980s when he and partner Terry Lewis were in The Time.

This year’s inductees range in age from Fantasia, 39, to Toni Vaz, 101. Vaz was Hollywood’s first Black stuntwoman and co-founder of the NAACP Image Awards. Other older inductees are Chinese-American actress Lisa Lu, 97; film and TV actress Jane Fonda, 86; and actor/director Bill Duke, 81.

Fonda, daughter of acting legend Henry Fonda, is one of three second-generation stars being honored, along with Emilio Estevez, son of Martin Sheen; and journalist Chris Wallace, son of 60 Minutes great Mike Wallace.

Most of the inductees are American, though some hail from outside the U.S. These include English band Depeche Mode; Mexican grupera band Los Bukis; Urban, who was born in New Zealand, but is now Australian/American; Irish actor Colin Farrell; Chinese-American actress Lisa Lu; Scottish actor Alan Cumming; and retired English football player David Beckham.

The Walk of Fame selection committee, made up of past Walk of Famers, selected this year’s honorees from among hundreds of nominees on June 14. The choices were ratified by the Hollywood Chamber’s board of directors that same day.

Dates have not yet been scheduled for these star ceremonies. Recipients have two years to schedule star ceremonies from the date of selection before they expire. Upcoming star ceremonies are usually announced 10 days prior to the dedication on the official website.

Star ceremonies are streamed worldwide. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the Walk of Fame on behalf of the city of Los Angeles. Sponsors fund the star, the ceremony, and the maintenance of the world-famous attraction. Attending Walk of Fame ceremonies is free to the public.

Here’s Why Swifties Are Upset With Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl has been a longtime fan of Taylor Swift, but a recent comment he made hasn’t sat well with Swifties.

The Foo Fighters rocker seemingly took a jab at Swift’s Eras Tour while performing at London Stadium on Saturday (June 22), which happened to take place at the same time as the pop superstar’s nearby show at Wembley Stadium.

“I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift,” Grohl told the crowd. “So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour.’ We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f—ing errors as well. Just a couple.”

He continued, “That’s because we actually play live. What?! Just saying. You guys like raw, live rock ‘n’ roll music, right? You came to the right f—ing place.”

Many fans were disappointed in Grohl’s comments, as the rock star has praised Swift many times in the past. In 2016, he told a story of the time the 14-time Grammy winner saved him from embarrassment in front of Beatles legend Paul McCartney at a party. He also praised her decision to re-record her entire catalog in a 2021 interview with Rolling Stone.

Additionally, Grohl’s former band Nirvana has a long history of uplifting female artists and the feminist movement, including the Riot Grrrl bands of the 90’s. In 1992, Nirvana refused to play their biggest hit, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” as well as some other popular tracks during a show in Buenos Aires, Argentina, because the crowd was disrespectful and was throwing things at their female opening act, Calamity Jane.

Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Please Please Please’ Follows ‘Espresso’ to No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” is the newly minted biggest song in the world, as it rises to No. 1 in its second week on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.

The track becomes Carpenter’s second leader on each list, dethroning her first on each ranking, “Espresso,” which a week earlier ascended to the Global 200 summit and logged a fifth week atop Global Excl. U.S.

Carpenter is just the second artist to notch new Global 200 No. 1s in consecutive weeks, after Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” and “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” reached the top spot in back-to-back frames in November 2023.

Trending on Billboard

Elsewhere, Trueno earns his first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 with “Real Gangsta Love.”

The Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

“Please Please Please” crowns the Global 200, lifting from No. 2, with 119.2 million streams (up 14%) and 9,000 sold (down 10%) worldwide June 14-20.

The song by the Quakertown, Pa.-born singer-songwriter-actress was released June 7, alongside its official video, and she performed it during her set at New York’s Governors Ball the following day. On June 18, acoustic, a cappella, instrumental, sped up and slowed down versions of the single were released. On June 20, Carpenter announced her 29-date Short n’ Sweet Tour, set to start Sept. 23 in Columbus, Ohio. Her album Short n’ Sweet, featuring both “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” is due Aug. 23.

“Espresso” dips to No. 2 on the Global 200 as Carpenter becomes the first woman to hold the chart’s top two spots in consecutive weeks. Among all acts, she joins only Peso Pluma, who achieved the feat for two weeks in June 2023.

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rises 4-3 for a new Global 200 high; Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” lifts 5-4 for a new best; and Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” rebounds 7-5 after it spent two weeks at No. 1 earlier in June.

On Global Excl. U.S., “Please Please Please” vaults 5-1 with 69 million streams (up 26%) and 2,000 sold (down 11%) outside the U.S. June 14-20.

“Espresso” ranks at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. – making Carpenter the first solo woman to claim the chart’s top two spots simultaneously. Among all acts, Jung Kook (two weeks in 2023), BLACKPINK (one, 2022) and BTS (one, 2020) have also earned such a double-up.

Carpenter is also the first solo woman to place at Nos. 1 and 2 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. concurrently. Overall, Jung Kook (“Standing Next to You,” “Seven,” featuring Latto; Nov. 18, 2023) and BLACKPINK (“Shut Down,” “Pink Venom,” Oct. 1, 2022) previously made such a mark in the charts’ top two ranks simultaneously.

Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” wings 4-3 for a new Global Excl. U.S. high; FloyyMenor and Cris Mj’s “Gata Only” drops to No. 4 from its No. 3 peak; and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” bumps 6-5 following eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in February.

Plus, Trueno scores his first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 as “Real Gangsta Love” soars 26-10 with 41.5 million streams (up 43%) outside the U.S. The track by the Argentinian singer and rapper rules four tallies in Billboard’s Hits of the World menu (Bolivia Songs, Ecuador Songs, Peru Songs and Spain Songs) for a second week each and has hit the top five on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated June 29, 2024) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, June 25. For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard’s subscription-based service.

Watch Snoop Dogg Run the 200m Race at the 2024 Summer Olympic Trials

Snoop Dogg is checking things off his bucket list he probably never imagined as he completes another side mission of life.

With Snoop onboard as a guest commentator for NBC at the 2024 Summer Olympics, he participated in the 200m trial run in Oregon over the weekend.

Rocking a team USA shirt honoring the late Kobe Bryant to go with his American flag-themed pants, the Doggfather laced up his Nike kicks for the race against Ato Boldon and Wallace Spearmon on Sunday (June 23).

Unfortunately, Snoop’s competition ended up leaving him in the dust as he finished the race in a distant third place with a time of 34.44 seconds. For comparison, the 2020 Olympic gold medalist clocked in at 19.62 seconds.

“34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad,” he said, clapping in approval when he saw his time.

After regaining his breath, Snoop lent his hilarious commentary to the steeplechase run as part of the broadcast. “Oh he’s jumping on top of the hurdle. You can do that?! That was a cold trick right there. I like that one. Went off the tippy-top,” he said in shock.

Trending on Billboard

Fans were loving hearing Snoop on the broadcast. “NEED THIS IN THE OLYMPICS,” one person tweeted, while another added, “Snoop gonna always be an icon.”

Expect plenty of more Snoop Dogg, as he’ll be part of the coverage team making its way to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The LBC native will deliver “regular reports” on the Olympic Primetime Show beginning July 26.

Find highlights of Snoop’s running and broadcasting below.
