Nick Cannon is making sure his crown jewels are properly protected. The daddy of many’s testicles have been insured for $10 million dollars.

As reported by Page Six, the media mogul is taking no chances when it comes to his most prized assets (besides his kids, we trust). The Wild ‘n Out star recently used Dr. Squatch’s Ball Valuation Tool, a survey that analyses a man’s private parts and grades them. Some of the criteria includes size, features and sexual prowess. Allegedly, the “Gigolo” rapper scored so well the brand crowned his you know what “Most Valuable Balls.” In turn, they insured his boys at a whopping $10 million dollars. 

Nick Cannon detailed his enthusiasm regarding the announcement in a formal statement. “Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids,” he said. “Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling!”

The men’s grooming brand revealed that the pricy evaluation is part of their efforts to promote men’s health. “The impetus behind the partnership and Nick’s insurance policy was to bring attention to the taboo topic of below-the-belt hygiene, in support of our Ball Care product launch,” says John Ludeke, vice president of Marketing at Dr. Squatch. 

Nick Cannon also shot an advertisement for the announcement, you van view it below.



Billboard Presents Bud Light Backyard at CMA Fest Kicks Off With Electrifying Sets From Corey Kent, Dalton Dover and Alana Springsteen

The beer and music were flowing at the first day of Billboard Presents Bud Light Backyard at CMA Fest as fans took a break from the Nashville heat and took in some great performances by some of today’s hottest hitmakers at a jammed Tin Roof on Lower Broadway on Friday (June 7).

Fans enjoyed line dancing lessons on the first floor between performances, then packed the second floor for top-notch sets by Corey Kent, Dalton Dover and Alana Springsteen.  

Kent, an RCA Nashville artist and Oklahoma native, earned the attention of major labels after “Wild as Her” started climbing the charts in 2022, based on streaming. After signing with RCA Nashville, Kent scored his first major hit as the song reached No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. 

UMG Nashville/Mercury Records artist Dover first caught fans’ eyes and ears with his well-chosen covers on TikTok before he started releasing his own songs, such as “You Got a Small Town” and “Baby I Am.” His debut radio single, “Giving Up on That,” was the most-added track at radio upon its release. 

Springsteen, who first picked up the guitar at age 7 and was writing her own songs with top Nashville songwriters by the time she was 10, issued her debut album, Twenty Something, last year on Columbia Records New York/Sony Music Nashville. 

The two-day free event, open to anyone 21+,  is a partnership between Billboard and Bud Light that also includes branded content running on the two brands’ digital channels throughout 2024. The shows continue with LOCASH, George Birge and Dasha, who will perform Saturday (June 8).

Take Back, Take Back: Howard U Rescinds Diddy’s Honorary Degree, Curving $1M Pledge

Howard University announced that it is rescinding the honorary degree it bestowed on Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2014. The decision comes after video footage was revealed in May of the disgraced Hip-Hop mogul beating his ex-girlfriend and Bad Boy recording artist Cassie Ventura in a hotel lobby in 2016.

On Friday, June 7, the Howard University Board of Trustees announced that it decided to rescind Combs’ honorary degree and to return the $1 million the former student (he never actually graduated) had pledged to the school.

“The Howard University Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to accept the return by Mr. Sean Combs of the honorary degree conferred upon him in 2014,” said an official statement from Howard’s Board of Trustees. “This acceptance revokes all honors and privileges associated with the degree.”

Also, HU is effectively wiping any association with Diddy, who attended the HBCU in the early nineties before dropping out to pursue his career in the music business full time. 

The statement continued, “Accordingly, the Board has directed that his name be removed from all documents listing honorary degree recipients of Howard University. Mr. Combs’ behavior as captured in a recently released video is so fundamentally incompatible with Howard University’s core values and beliefs that he is deemed no longer worthy to hold the institution’s highest honor.”

Interestingly, although Diddy originally pledged the $1 million donation in 2016, the Board’s statement reveals that no payments had been made by him or the Sean Combs Foundation to date. So there is no money to return (under a 2023 agreement). The scholarship program established in Combs’ name will also be disbanded.

Diddy, who has always spoken fondly of his time as an undergrad, was the commencement speaker at Howard in 2014 when he received the honorary degree. 

Howard is just the latest entity to sever ties with Diddy. Others include Revolt, the media company he founded, and Hulu, which nixed a reality series about his family.

The 6 God is back at it. Drake is choosing the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA Finals and he is putting his money where his mouth is.

As reported by HipHopDX the “Family Matters” rapper is putting his past with Kendrick Lamar behind him. This week Drake reappeared on social media with one of his first few posts since his beef with you know who. In the Instagram post he stood tall on sports business and shared who he thought will be winning not only the NBA Finals but also the NHL Stanley Cup Finals.

He is picking the Dallas Mavericks to defeat the Boston Celtics and the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers. “Dallas cause I’m a Texan. Oilers are self explanatory” he wrote in the caption. The accompanying visual is as a screenshot of his STAKE account that shows him betting $500,000 on each series. If he has chosen correctly he stands to win an estimated $1,375,000 dollars.

Drake has a steady history of insane wagers. Back in February he laid a $1.15 million dollar bet on the Kansas City Chiefs winning the NFL Super Bowl over the San Francisco 49’ers. The Boston Celtics easily defeated the Dallas Mavericks in game 1 of the NBA Finals beating them 107-89.

Hosted by Billboard, Loud And Live, and Only in Dade, the private celebration included star-studded guests such as Gloria Estefan, Ana Bárbara and La India, who will receive the Legend Award, Lifetime Achievement Award and Pioneer Award, respectively, at the second annual Billboard Latin Women in Music awards on Sunday (June 9). Award-winning hitmaker Emilio Estefan and breakthrough salsa artist Luis Figueroa were also in attendance.

“It’s a pleasure to be here, honoring a room of extraordinary women in an extraordinary year for Latin music,” Leila Cobo, chief content officer of Billboard Latin and Billboard Español, said during her welcome speech. 

Trending on Billboard

“When I started at Billboard, a bit over 20 years ago, I never saw myself as an executive. I saw myself as a journalist because I was a journalist,” she continued. “It took me a long time to see myself as an executive despite the fact that I began constructing a business that didn’t exist. I realized that I didn’t see myself as an executive because there wasn’t a role model that was doing the same thing that I was trying to do, and that made me aware of the importance of having role models in this business.” 

Cobo then congratulated all of the powerful women in the room, expressing that “Billboard takes great pride in shining a light on those [women] who have been ahead and giving a platform to those who are coming.” 

Following Cobo’s speech, 2024 honorees La India and Estefan shared a few words, and even flaunted their beautiful friendship that has endured over the years. “You deserve this so much, you’ve been such a good, beautiful woman […] I don’t get a chance to tell her, and I want you to know that you’ve always been very supportive towards me,” the salsa singer told Estefan.

In addition to Estefan, La India and Ana Bárbara, Billboard will honor the following artists: Kany García (spirit of change award), Kali Uchis (rising star award), Ángela Aguilar (musical dynasty award), Camila Cabello (global impact award) and the woman of the year, Karol G.

The Colombian superstar, who is currently on the European leg of her Mañana Será Bonito Tour, was not in town for the event but did send colorful preserved roses by Lovely Roses to gift to all of the honorees in the room.

The 2024 Billboard Latin Women in Music is set to air exclusively at 9 p.m. ET on June 9 on Telemundo.

Inside Lainey Wilson’s Grand Ole Opry Induction: ‘It Honestly Feels Like the Biggest Night of My Life’

When Lainey Wilson was 9, she and her family made their first trip to the Grand Ole Opry from her small hometown of Baskin, Louisiana, 471 miles away, and she knew that one day she would be on that revered stage. More than 20 years later, she reached the pinnacle for any country artist by being inducted to the Grand Ole Opry. 

Friday night (June 7), she became the latest artist to stand in the famed wood circle as Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks did the official induction honors. “Tonight, it honestly feels like the biggest night of my life,” Wilson said.

“We are honored to be here tonight,” Yearwood said, “And I may be a little bit biased, but there can never be enough women inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. You get it. You know what it means to love country music, you love the Opry. When I think about the future of country music, I know with you in it, we’re going to be OK.”

“I would say I’m so happy for you, but I’m so happy for the Grand Ole Opry,” added Brooks. “It’s just so rare to find someone at your age that gets it. The awards they give you will fade in time, but the thing that will always stay the same is this family.”

For Wilson, the induction caps a meteoric last several months that has seen her latest album, Bell Bottom Country, capture the ACM and CMA Awards for album of the year and the Grammy Award for best country album, as well as winning entertainer of the year at both the ACM and CMA Awards. She also graced the cover of Billboard‘s Country Power Players issue last month. But Wilson vowed to only work harder. “We’ve had a crazy couple of years with all the awards, but this right here is the highest honor,” she said. “It feels like the stamp of approval. It lights another fire under my butt.”

Wilson then brought her immediate family, as well as her boyfriend, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, to the stage. Surrounded by those who know her best and have supported her through the decades, she added, “As a little girl, I didn’t dream about my wedding day or what song I would play at my wedding, I dreamed about what song I would play in the circle.” After that initial visit to the Opry when she was 9, nine years later she moved to Nashville and nine years after that, she played the Opry for the first time on Valentine’s Day 2020. Four years later she became a member. 

Wilson played throughout the night, first joining Terri Clark (who introduced her when she played the Opry that first time in 2020) for a duet on “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,” then returning to sing “Refugee,” with Wynonna, the song the pair covered for the upcoming Tom Petty tribute album. She also performed a number of her own tunes, including “Dreamcatcher”; her first No. 1, “Things a Man Oughta Know”; “Heart Like a Truck” and “Watermelon Moonshine.” 

After her official induction, Brooks told Wilson she had to sing at least one more tune, saying, “I’ve never gotten to hear you sing a song as an official member of the Grand Ole Opry.” He offered to hold her newly presented trophy, and Wilson allowed him to only after he promised to give it back. She closed the evening with a spirited version of “Hang Tight Honey” from her new album, Whirlwind, out Aug. 23 on Broken Bow/BMG.

CMA Fest’s Friday Night Nissan Stadium Shows: 5 Top Moments  

Shortly into his set at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Friday night (June 7), two-time CMA Award winner Cody Johnson laid down a challenge for the crowd with one simple question: “Are you ready for some country music tonight?”

For more than three hours, approximately 70,000 fans filling the stadium answered that question with a resounding ‘Yes.’ As the four-day country music extravaganza CMA Fest reached its halfway mark, the Friday night lineup at Nissan Stadium offered a triple shot of Texas country, thanks to a lineup that included Johnson, Parker McCollum and Jon Pardi.

Women artists also made a strong showing Friday night, with the lineup featuring the “Redneck Woman” herself, Gretchen Wilson, as well as “Austin” hitmaker Dasha, singer-songwriter K. Michelle’s soulful set on the platform stage, and Kelsea Ballerini, who just announced her added gig as a coach on The Voice.

In the process of the cavalcade of artists taking the stage, night two at Nissan Stadium showcased the country music industry’s continued economic power and international draw, with die-hard country music fans attending from all 50 states and numerous countries. Night two also highlighted the power of songs that break through to the core of deep-seated emotions — whether heartbreak, remorse, love or celebration — to fuel fan-connecting, headliner-status careers.

Throughout the evening, the songs that poured from the two stages highlighted enduring country classics, some of the biggest hits of the moment, party-ready fare and moments of self-reflection and heartbreak — with those spectrum-spanning emotions sometimes wrapped into a single song.

As the clock reached midnight, two-time CMA entertainer of the year winner Luke Bryan launched his show, asking the crowd, “Ready to take this into the next morning?” He then proceeded to fill his midnight set with a string of hits he’s piled up over the past decade-plus, including “My Kind of Night” and “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Everyday.” The bulk of the concertgoers stayed, ready to continue an already hours-long, music-filled day in downtown Nashville into the wee hours of the morning at Nissan Stadium.

Here, we look at five top moments from night two of CMA Fest.

Ivan Cornejo Announces New Album ‘Mirada,’ Plus More Uplifting Moments

From career milestones to new music releases to major announcements, Billboard editors highlight uplifting moments in Latin music. Here’s what happened in the Latin music world this week.

Ivan Cornejo sets date for new album

Mexican American singer-songwriter Ivan Cornejo has announced his new album, titled Mirada, set to be released July 18 via Zaragoza Records/Interscope. The set will follow his 2022 Dañado album, which was No. 1 on Billboard’s Regional Mexican Albums chart for 37 nonconsecutive weeks, the fourth-most since the chart launched in 1985. The new set was announced on Wednesday (June 5) with a trailer that previews what fans can expect in the new album. “Ivan, do you think you’ll fall in love again?” A voice asks the 20-year-old, who sits in front of a bonfire. “I don’t want to,” Cornejo quickly responds. Mirada will be home to his latest single “Baby Please.”

Carin León’s Boca Chueca Party

Trending on Billboard

This week, Carín León celebrated his newly-released album, Boca Chueca, Vol. 1, at an intimate industry event held in Miami Beach’s Faena Theater. The album release party, that took place from 8 p.m. to midnight, included elite attendees such as Latin music executives, social media personalities, and singer-songwriter Ana Bárbara, who will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at Billboard Latin Women in Music 2024 on Sunday (June 9).

At around 9:30 p.m., León took the stage with an accompanying band to perform songs from Boca Chueca live. The Mexican singer-songwriter, who is fully embracing his experimental roots on the new set, also crooned fans with some classics such as the Kany García-assisted “Te Lo Agradezco” and “Según Quién,” his viral bop with Maluma. At the end of the showcase, León greeted all of his friends and colleagues, and gifted everyone with cool merch. 

Con Cora Foundation’s “Women Ink Spain”

Karol G’s Con Cora Foundation will hold a second edition of its professional tattoo workshop titled “Women Ink Spain,” which is aimed at women who are passionate about tattooing. Following its first edition in Medellín in 2023, this year’s workshop is set to take place in Madrid from July 15 to 19, according to a press release issued by the foundation.

The program is for women residing in Madrid, aged 22 to 40, who “wish to acquire professional skills in the art of tattooing,” per the press release. The training will be provided by Javi Cinco Ángeles Tattoo and Juan Ramón RC Tattoo. “The artists will share their vast experience and knowledge with all attendees,” the release continues.

Ryan Castro for Copa América

Ryan Castro is set to release the official song for Colombia’s national soccer team for Copa América 2024. Serving as an anthem for the country’s national team is Castro’s “El Ritmo Que Nos Une” in collab with producer SOG. It also features the voices of Juan Fernando Quintero and Luis Diaz, two players from the team. The catchy reggaetón, cumbia infused song will make its official debut today (June 8) at the U.S.A. vs Colombia friendly match at the Commander’s Field in Maryland, along with a music video that was shot in Barranquilla, Colombia.

“I feel very proud to be able to dedicate a song to our Colombian national team,” the hitmaker said in a statement. “I think we all grew up watching our idols and being able to unite soccer and music is something I will never forget. I hope we can celebrate many triumphs with this song. This is my invitation to sing along to the rhythm of the Colombian national team’s goals!”

The Copa América tournament officially kicks off June 20.

Post Malone’s Headlining Set at Gov Ball: Not Much Country, But Tons of Hits

It’s sort of a weird time to be Post Malone. On one hand, he’s coming off the two most-difficult, least-successful albums of his career — the last of which, 2023’s Austin, failed to even generate a single top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit, marking a clear commercial low point for the pop-rap gold-spinner who was surpassed only by Drake in terms of consistent chart success for the second half of the 2010s. On the other hand, he’s already had two No. 1 hits this year, albeit both with co-stars (Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen, respectively) whose radio and streaming clout currently easily eclipse his own. Further complicating things: The latter of those two No. 1s marks the beginning of his long-hyped full foray into country music, a genre he has some obvious spiritual kinship with, but only tangential musical relation.

This was a lot to balance for Post Malone during his headlining set at day one of New York’s Governors Ball festival (now officially referred to as just “Gov Ball”) — or at least, it seems like it should have been. But instead of trying to thread the needle between his successful past, his muddier present and his uncertain future, Post decided to simplify things with Gov Ball setlist: He simply played the hits. And he’s got a lot of them: more than you may even remember, more than maybe seems possible for a guy who’s only been making ’em since 2015 and has been in a relatively fallow period for ’em since the decade turned. As far as streamlining strategies go, it was a pretty undeniable one.

Trending on Billboard

“My name is Austin Richard Post,” the singer-rapper introduced himself after his first two songs, “and I’m here to play some s–tty songs and get a little bit f–ked up while we do it.” Whether dismissing his signature hits as “s–tty” was a sign of residual bitterness over his heavier, more personal recent work not being received as warmly as his debauched early hits or just the artist not taking himself too seriously, it ended up not really mattering, since it became clear pretty quickly Post was not interested in relitigating anything about his career on the evening. Instead, he played one smash after another — from “Better Now” and “Wow” through “Circles” and “Congratulations” — while gleefully shimmying, screaming, two-stepping and stripping (his shirt, anyway) on stage, looking every bit the superstar he was at his commercial peak.

The question of a Post Malone gig has traditionally not been whether he’d seem like a star, but what kind of star would lead the way: rap star Post, rock star Post, pop star Post, or now even country star Post? In truth, he’s been all four for some time — well, the first three, anyway, with the fourth seemingly on its way. But if one was the most forward on Friday night, it was probably rock star Post, with the first two songs (and many subsequent cuts) both being introduced via the grungy riffs of guitarist Liv Slingerland, and more six-string-heavy (and just heavy period) borderline inclusions like Beerbongs and Bentleys‘ “Over Now” and Hollywood’s Bleeding’s “Take What You Want” making the cut. There was lots of growling and shredding; one time, Post threw up the devil horns while hunching his shoulders and he very briefly kinda even looked like Ronnie James Dio. At some point in the middle of the set, the mix of loud, chunking guitars with rapping — largely about being angry at girls — inspired me to write in my notes: Has Post Malone been nu-metal this whole time?

But if country star Post is indeed on the horizon, you would not have known it from his Gov Ball performance. Just a day after making a pair of surprise appearances at CMA Fest — including one alongside longtime Nashville fixture Blake Shelton, with the two even covering a George Jones song together — he did not bring out Shelton, or Wallen, or any guest to further shepherd his new country pivot. (Aside from a couple fans pulled out of the audience to assist on signature ballad “Stay,” there were no guests of any kind during Post’s performance, not even “Rockstar” buddy 21 Savage, who’ll perform at Gov Ball on Saturday.) No mention was made by Post of his recent sonic and geographical detour, nor did he try out any brand new or unreleased material from his rumored upcoming full length. If you didn’t know going into the set that Going Country was a thing Post was currently in the midst of doing, you probably didn’t come out of it knowing either.

There was still the one obvious clue, though you had to wait till the second song of the encore for it: “I Had Some Help,” the reigning No. 1 song in the country, did eventually make its appearance as the evening’s pentultimate track. (As for “Fortnight,” his other No. 1 of 2024, forget it — it’s one thing for Post to sing over a Morgan Wallen verse, but trying to approximate an entire Taylor Swift lead vocal on his own would’ve been potentially disastrous on multiple levels.) “Help” sounded fantastic, and the crowd went bananas for it, but aside from its placement in the setlist Post gave it no special treatment, no lead-in or extra emphasis or anything to make you think it was a particularly notable song than most in Friday’s setlist. The implication was clear: “Help” is a hit, but still just one of many for Posty, and no one player is bigger than the team in a Post Malone setlist.

More of a statement, however, was the choice of the encore’s final song: “Chemical,” the biggest song from Austin, whose No. 13 peak was still fairly underwhelming by his career standards. It was the only song performed from the 2023 album — he played four times as many from 2016 debut Stoney — but it landed just like any of his bigger, longer-established hits, sounding much fuller live than on record, and making for a perfectly resounding closing number for the evening. The suggestion seemed to be that Post had never really stopped making big singles in the first place — and that regardless of whether on a given day he might be presenting more as a pop star, rap star, rock star or country star, what he truly is and always will be first and foremost is a hitmaker.

Kelly Clarkson Wins One, Loses One at 2024 Daytime Emmys

The Kelly Clarkson Show won outstanding daytime talk series for the fourth consecutive year at the 2024 Daytime Emmys, which were held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles on Friday (June 7) and broadcast on CBS. Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner co-hosted the show.

Kelly Clarkson has won eight Daytime Emmys over the first five seasons of her popular talk show (compared to three Grammys over a much longer period of time).

In accepting the award for outstanding daytime talk series, Clarkson gave special thanks to NBC for listening to her concerns when she proposed moving the show from Los Angeles to New York. “I told them, ‘My life is not going super great,’ and they helped us move,” she said. “It’s been so great for not just me and my family, but for the show. Thank you for thinking of mental health and not just a product.”

Trending on Billboard

Clarkson presented the first award of the night. The producers of the awards show presumably wanted to signal to the TV audience that she was in the house. Clarkson had not attended the Daytime Emmys in recent years.

Clarkson did not, however, win outstanding daytime talk series host, an award she had won the last four years running. The award went instead to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the married stars of the syndicated Live With Kelly and Mark. It was a surprise win: Ripa and Consuelos weren’t in attendance, causing the show to run a little short.

This was Ripa’s sixth win in that category. Only three other hosts have won six or more times in the history of the category, which dates to 1974. Phil Donahue leads with nine awards in the category, followed by Oprah Winfrey (seven) and Rosie O’Donnell (also six). What’s most impressive about Ripa’s track record in the category is that she has won alongside four different co-hosts. She and Regis Philbin won twice in the category. She and Michael Strahan also won twice. She and Ryan Seacrest won once.

TV legend Dick Van Dyke won guest performance in a daytime drama series for his appearance on Days of our Lives on Peacock. At 98, Van Dyke is the oldest Daytime Emmy winner in history. “If I had known I was going to live that long, I would have taken better care of myself,” Van Dyke joked in accepting the honor. Van Dyke, who was featured on the Mary Poppins soundtrack, which topped the Billboard 200 for 14 weeks in 1965, was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1995 and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2020.

Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays (Food Network), hosted by Selena Gomez, was nominated for outstanding culinary series. It lost to Be My Guest With Ina Garten.

Amanda Kloots and Jerry O’Connell, Emmy-nominated co-hosts of The Talk, opened the show with a special-material version of Petula Clark’s classic “Downtown,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965. The rewrite was pretty corny, a throwback to the era when such segments were a staple of variety and awards shows.

The In Memoriam segment included entertainment reporter Sam Rubin (KTLA, Los Angeles) and actor and host Louis Gossett Jr.

If it doesn’t seem like a full year has gone by since the last Daytime Emmys, you’re on to something. The 2023 Daytime Emmys were held on Dec. 15. They were delayed six full months because of last year’s strikes by the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA.

The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards will be presented on Saturday, June 8. It will stream live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT at watch.TheEmmys.tv and via The Emmys apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, FireTV, and Roku.

The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards was produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI). Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong were executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie was executive producer from ATI.

Here are the 2024 Daytime Emmy nominations in selected categories, with winners marked. Categories with no winners marked will be presented on Saturday’s show. This list will be updated at that time. In program categories, we show only the name(s) of the most senior executive producer(s) who are nominees.
