Gunna ain’t pushing P anymore with his former homie Young Thug, as he removed his YSL tattoo, once a symbol of their brotherhood.
The rapper recently posted a gym mirror selfie, and fans quickly picked up on the fact that the ink paying tribute to Young Stoner Life Records had been covered with a new design. This change has only added fuel to ongoing speculation that things between the two may not be the same. Their bond has been in question since 2022, when both artists were swept up in a major RICO indictment involving YSL affiliates.
Gunna took a plea deal and was released later that year, sparking backlash and accusations that he betrayed Young Thug. Despite repeatedly denying any form of cooperation with law enforcement, the “snitch” rumors have stuck, casting a shadow over his reputation and industry relationships.
In a GQ interview from April, Young Thug was asked directly about where things stand between him and Gunna. His response—“I don’t know”—left fans without any real clarity. The vague reply, paired with Gunna’s quiet cover-up of the YSL tattoo, has only deepened suspicions of a fallout. With Thug now free after spending more than two years behind bars, some hoped for signs of a reunion or at least mutual respect.
As it stands, the silence and subtle gestures seem to speak louder than any statement, suggesting a real distance between the former collaborators.

Former President Joe Biden is currently receiving treatment for prostate cancer, his office announced on Sunday.
Medical evaluations were prompted by ongoing urinary issues, which led to the discovery of a prostate abnormality. Further testing confirmed a diagnosis of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The cancer has been classified as aggressive, with a high Gleason score of 9, indicating a serious stage of the illness. Despite the severity, doctors say the disease is responsive to hormone therapy, which provides a promising path for treatment.
Biden, who held the presidency from 2021 to 2025, was the 46th leader of the United States and made history as the first to reach 80 years of age while serving in office.
His decades-long political career includes time as Vice President and many years in the U.S. Senate. News of his diagnosis has sparked concern but also hope, as his medical team believes the cancer can be effectively managed. The former president is reportedly in stable condition and surrounded by close family and healthcare professionals. His office has pledged to keep the public informed as he continues with treatment and recovery efforts.
More news to come as the story develops.

Morgan Wallen‘s highly anticipated fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, dropped on Friday (May 16). The only way we know how to celebrate is to shop some of the country star’s best merch deals.
There are plenty of options to choose from for the big Wallen fan in your life. From T-shirts, hats and hoodies from top retailers like Urban Outfitters, Etsy and Amazon, you can rep the Grammy-nominated country music star in style. Get excited, folks: We’ve selected a few favorites from these retailers that have us hyped for Wallen’s latest project. The best part? These picks are affordable as can be.
Morgan Wallen Long Live Cowgirls T-Shirt
A slouchy graphic tee with “Long Live Cowgirl” on the front.
Inspired by Wallen’s hit song “Cowgirls,” this graphic T-shirt will have you feeling like a proper country fan. Retailing for $39.00, the piece includes a crew neckline accompanied by colorful cowboy-esque graphics on the front that read “Morgan Wallen Long Live Cowgirls” in a pleasing curvy font. This eye-catching style is made of a breezy cotton jersey fabric, breathable enough to wear to a music festival or one of Wallen’s packed shows.
Trending on Billboard
Although this shirt is marketed toward men, the shirt can easily be unisex when styled correctly. Boxy and relaxed, this pick could look great with cut-off jeans or a distressed denim skirt and boots. (Cowboy hat not included.)
“Get me To God’s Country” Trucker Hat
An unofficial trucker hat reading “Get Me To God’s Country.”
Who doesn’t love a trucker hat? This pick is pure Americana, featuring Wallen’s iconic phrase “Get Me to God’s Country” scrawled on the front in graphic red and khaki lettering all set atop a navy base. Retailing for $29.99, the hat features a mixed polyester and cotton construction accompanied by a plastic snap closure on the back that creates the perfect fit. Although this isn’t official merch, the style is perfect for those superfans looking for a cute way to rep Wallen subtly. If you know, you know.
I’m the Problem Comfort Colors Adult Heavyweight T-shirt
A slouchy graphic tee featuring I’m the Problem album art on the front.
Rep Wallen’s latest album in style with an official I’m the Problem Comfort Colors tee. Retailing for $39.99, this graphic tee features the “Last Night” singer’s album cover on the front alongside bright red lettering reading “Morgan Wallen.” The back is also adorned with the album name in red, tying in the contrasting color.
The shirt is made of durable, ultra-comfy cotton and comes in sizes small to XXL. It’s worth noting that the style is meant to be a bit oversized. Before purchasing, consider the fit, and what might work best for you. The tee could look killer with shorts and a flannel for a casual coffee run. Or dress it up with a bubble skirt and cowboy booties to show off your allegiance to Wallen in style.
Official Morgan Wallen Singing Pullover Hoodie
A gray hoodie with Morgan Wallen graphics on the front in black and red.
You can never have too many comfy hoodies. This cozy pick retails for $49.99 in a versatile “Heather Gray” colorway. The oversized style features a black and red graphic on the front of Wallen singing, surrounded by whimsical star motifs.
Worn with classic black leggings and fuzzy slip-on clogs, you’ll be lounging in cushy comfort. It’s a low-effort, maximum impact piece that everyone should have in their wardrobes, Wallen fan or otherwise. For a night on the town, we recommend wearing this hooide with distressed jorts and your favorite athletic sneakers.
Morgan Wallen Sneedville PopSockets
A Morgan Wallen-themed accessory for your phone.
Want to subtly rep your faves? PopSockets are the way to go. This cute little phone accessory retails for $15.99 and features a funky graphic of Wallen singing plastered to the front, set atop a contrasting white background.
This piece is practical and stylish, allowing you to hold your phone up virtually hands-free. If you’re in the market for something similar, the Wallen-approved PopSocket also comes magnetized and in a larger size to attach to your wallet for $29.99 and $35.99, respectively.

Good Ease Relaxed Jeans
Relaxed fit jeans with ample pocket room.
Good jeans are hard to come by. Finding the perfect pair usually costs an arm and a leg. Good American’s Good Ease jeans only cost $104, no arms or legs necessary. This relaxed pair ensures comfort without sacrificing style. Equipped with a dark distressed wash and wide legs that give space for ample movement, the piece is great for days spent lounging on the couch, a good book in hand.
Although jeans shopping can be tough, especially online, the Good Ease’s adjustable waist tabs ensure a perfect fit every time. Additional utility features include five ample pockets and unique tummy smoothing tech that has you looking good no matter the angle. Wear these with your fave cropped top and low-top sneakers for a relaxed look, or jazz the look up with a sleek pair of kitten heels for a night out. The Good Ease jeans might just be your next obsession. They’re definitely ours.
Good Capri
Capri pants with a mid-rise fit and dark wash.
While you might think that capri pants are just another fad from the ’60s, Good American is doing the polarizing style justice. Made of comfort stretch dark-wash denim, the Good Capri is the transitional piece of your dreams, going from night to day or spring to summer with ease.
Don’t be afraid of a good crop. These bad boys are mid-rise and stop just below the knees, offering a casual and chic “French girl” vibe to anything they’re paired with. Worn with a dainty ballet flat and a breezy lace blouse, we can picture the Good Capri being your next vacation staple.
Super Stretch Baby Tee
A form-fitted baby tee in “Lemon.”
A baby tee is a closet staple for many. The itty bitty style has been worn and re-worn by top celebs from Hailey Bieber to Bella Hadid, giving major “it-girl status” without much effort. Good American’s Super Stretch baby tee is no exception to this phenomenon, making the wearer look effortlessly cool for an affordable price.
The tee is made of a flexible ribbed cotton that offers a flattering form-fit. The baby tee comes in a range of colorways, including spring-centric pastels like “Rose Quartz” and “Light Coral.” Our pick? The “Lemon” hue is to die for, capitalizing on the “butter yellow” trend that’s currently taking over. We recommend pairing the Super Stretch with your favorite slouchy jeans and white kicks. Worn with a maxi skirt and sandals, the tee imparts a casual feel, offsetting the more girly pieces.
Satin Shine Midi Dress
$124.99
$179
30% off
A satin leopard-printed midi length dress.
For those of us willing to walk on the wild side, Good American’s Satin Shine midi dress is for you. This form-fitted dress features an eye-catching leopard print, all set atop a shiny, textural satin fabric. The mock-neckline and long sleeves counteract the striking leopard print, offering a touch of elegance. This style comes in sizes S to 5XL. This piece would be a great fit for date night when worn with black strappy sandals. Flying solo? Wear the Satin Shine dress in confidence, paired with lifestyle sneakers or simple flats for a look that says, “I don’t need a man.”
Fit For Success Palazzo Jumpsuit
$124.99
$179
30% off
A fitted light wash jumpsuit with a flared hem.
Good American’s Fit For Success palazzo jumpsuit looks like it was pulled straight out of the 70s, and we’re low-key obsessed. The style is made of a medium blue wash cotton and features a form fit, hidden front zipper closure and flattering breast pockets.
The waist is also belted, giving the wearer that extra snatched look. Sizing options range from XS to 5XL. Simple but impactful, this jumpsuit turns heads with minimal styling, making it great for those days when you don’t feel like trying. Motocross boots or a good old kitten heel would look best with this silhouette. Or go full-on 70s and pop on a pair of platform clogs.
Good Icon Faux Leather Pants
$88.99
$185
52% off
Black high-waisted faux leather trousers.
Looking for a sexy pair of pants for your next summer soiree? Good American has got you covered. The brand’s Good Icon faux leather pants are endlessly sultry, featuring a dreamy form fit that wears well with a good pair of angular heels.
The faux leather is a major plus, too, given that real leather is a major hassle to clean and maintain. Sizing options are ample, ranging from 0 to 30 plus. The Good Icon would lend itself well to a monochrome black moment. Think more form-fitted pieces like a turtleneck or daring bodysuit.
Denim Diamond Shirt
$126.99
$159
20% off
An oversized denim shirt with crystalized accents.
Who doesn’t want to be dripping in diamonds? Good American’s Denim Diamond shirt is western wear meets clubbing aesthetics, equipped with a boxy collared fit and eye-catching crystalized embellishments.

With the 50% off, this piece runs you a cool $126.99. What a steal. Sizing options range from XS to 5XL. Before picking a size, you’ll want to keep in mind that this piece is made to fit oversized.

From Kesha’s latest banger to Arca’s glitchy new track, check out just a few of our favorite releases from this week below:
Kesha, “BOY CRAZY.”
While fans have been thrilled to see Kesha looking back on her early-2010s stylings with her new songs, the pop star decided to turn her eyes to the future for her latest offering. Sure, “BOY CRAZY” takes a few of its cues from glittering 80s synth-pop, but the majority of the track plays like a revved up hyperpop anthem, as Kesha whets her appetite for the male form in this thrilling new track.
Trending on Billboard
Arca, “Puta”
Throughout her career, Arca has prided herself on zigging where people thought she might zag. With her double single release, Arca gives fans a song they can dance to with “Puta” — but it’s her second song “Sola” that shines brightest here. Over a scintillating beat and with a vocoder-assisted vocal, Arca lets herself strip some of the artifice away to show her own vulnerability. “I don’t want any more damage in love,” she sings in Spanish.
G Flip, “Disco Cowgirl”
What says “it’s summer” more than some ’80s synths and an anthemic vocal? Australian star G Flip is ready to ring in the season with “Disco Cowgirl,” their glittering new track dedicated to hot nights, messy relationships and good music. Along with providing some of the cleanest production of their career, “Disco Cowgirl” sounds like a vocal level up for G, as they deliver a full-blown belt of the song’s thesis in the final moments of the chorus: “Could’ve been my disco cowgirl/ But you rode off into the sunset without me.”
Frankie Grande, “Boys”
Turns out vocals run in the family! Frankie Grande debuted his latest single “Boys” on Friday (May 16), a club-ready pop track that sees the singer setting his sights on … well, you saw the title! Using his airy falsetto over a hard-hitting beat makes Grande’s new track an immediate contender for “That Song You Keep Hearing at Pride Festivals” in 2025.
Orla Gartland, Everybody Needs a Hero (Extended Edition)
Who doesn’t love a victory lap? After earning critical acclaim for her excellent 2024 album Everybody Needs a Hero, the Irish singer-songwriter is giving fans five bonus tracks on a new extended edition of the LP. Ranging from post-punk rage-outs (“Now What?”) or indie-rock kiss-offs (immediate standout “Pest” with Tommy Lefroy), the deluxe version of Hero gives Gartland’s fans just enough new mixed in with the vibe sound they’ve come to love.
