Lady Gaga is having fun causing a little mayhem at 30 Rock, with the pop star hilariously airing out some of the Saturday Night Live cast members’ business in a new promo video posted ahead of her upcoming hosting stint.
In the clip shared Wednesday (March 5), Gaga — looking low-key in a black baseball cap and T-shirt — sits at a piano in the SNL break room and openly sings observations about the comedians who filter in and out. “Andrew Dismukes is ordering a breakfast sandwich at 2 p.m.,” she croons, playing some jazzy chords.
“Devon Walker is taking a big swing with a new hat,” the 14-time Grammy winner continues when the cast member enters wearing a camouflage cowboy hat.
Trending on Billboard
“OK, what?” a slightly offended Walker asks, to which Dismukes explains, “This is her process.”
The new video arrives just a few days ahead of Gaga’s return to the comedy series, with the musician set to serve double duty as host and musical guest on the Saturday (March 8) episode. It’ll come just hours after the release of her seventh studio album, Mayhem, the day prior.
The A Star Is Born actress previously pulled double duty on the show in 2013, which may be why she’s so comfortable on the premises in the new promo video. The clip ends with a pajama-clad Heidi Gardner leaving her office with disheveled hair, after which Gaga calls her out for “trying to pretend she isn’t sleeping here, but we all know she is.”
“And the question is, ‘Why?’” the musician belts, to which Gardner tries her hand at singing: “And the answer is bedbugs!”
It’s unknown which songs Gaga will perform this weekend, but Mayhem was led by a trio of singles — including Billboard Hot 100-topper “Die With a Smile” with Bruno Mars, “Disease” and “Abracadabra.” Also on Wednesday, fans got a taste of a new track on the LP: “Garden of Eden,” a portion of which ESPN debuted in a teaser for this year’s Formula One season while declaring the track its official anthem of 2025.

After five long years, Doechii has finally blessed us with ‘Anxiety,’ and the streets are eating it up.
This one’s been a long time coming, and if you’ve been rocking with her since the early days, you already know the backstory. Way back, Doechii put out a fire cover of Gotye & Kimbra’s classic hit ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’ on YouTube. She flipped it in her own way, lacing it with emotion and raw energy, and the internet went crazy. But despite the buzz, she never put it on streaming platforms—so unless you had that YouTube link saved, you were out of luck.
Then a few years later, Sleepy Hallow stumbled across her version, sampled it, and turned it into his own track, ‘Anxiety.’ That joint went up, and suddenly, everybody thought Doechii’s version was out there too. At this time, the OG song never officially dropped.
Now, five years later, the Swamp Princess finally came through. And let’s be real, she didn’t disappoint. ‘Anxiety’ still hits just as hard, with those haunting melodies and the signature Doechii vibe that makes her one of the most unique voices in the game. For the day-one fans, this release is everything we’ve been waiting for. And for the new ones? Welcome to the wave—Doechii season is in full effect.

LiAngelo Ball is about to shake up the streets again with another song that can go viral.
His older brother, Lonzo Ball, recently dropped a behind-the-scenes clip of Gelo’s music video, where you see Gelo swerving around the corner, all smooth with it, while GloRilla is vibing out beside him. Yes, GloRilla and Gelo collaboration looks to be on the way. This was not on any of our bingo cards for 2025.
The clip got the internet talking, teasing a track that blends Gelo’s chill flow with GloRilla’s high-energy, in-your-face style. Let’s see how that goes. This collab isn’t out of nowhere, though. Back in January, Lonzo was showing off Gelo’s music to his teammates in the Chicago Bulls locker room, and it looked like the song they were bumping was the same one with GloRilla on it.
The chorus is straight heat, with Gelo spitting, “Baby, can you please shake that a** for me.” That sounds like something straight out of GloRilla’s wheelhouse, right? Glo’s known for her bold bars and unapologetic energy, so it’s the perfect match. Gelo’s been steadily pushing his music, and this collab could be his going 2/2 moment. The first hit being, ‘Tweaker’ whether you like it or not the song made some noise. Following that is this next single.
Lonzo’s been riding for him, and the support from his big bro, along with the growing buzz around this track, is only gonna help take Gelo to the next level. With that catchy hook and the chemistry between Gelo and Glo, this track is set to be a whole vibe, and it might just land Gelo his next big hit. The streets are definitely waiting for this one.

Mike Epps just confirmed something fans have been waiting for since 2002.
While sitting down with The Breakfast Club to promote his new comedy tour, the actor and comedian revealed that the fourth installment of the Friday film franchise has finally been green-lit after Charlamagne Tha God asked if he and Ice Cube have talked about Last Friday yet.
“He called me the other day, said we just finished the deal,” Epps said before giving the West Coast legend his flowers. “So, we doing the last Friday, man. And big shout-out to Cube; that’s another brother that has put so many brothers on, man, and don’t really get the props for it. Put me, Chris Tucker, Bernie Mac, I mean name ’em. This dude gave dudes opportunities.”
While he hasn’t seen a script for the film yet, Epps promises to continue Friday‘s legacy of introducing new comics to a wider audience. “I haven’t seen the script, but I’m pretty sure it’s good,” he said. “And we’re gonna bring in the new comics. We’re gonna put the DC Young Flys and all of them in with the OGs. It’s going to be a good a– time.”
Trending on Billboard
He also remained hopeful that Chris Tucker will be onboard this time around, as the actor and comedian has been hesitant to reprise his iconic role as Smokey over the years. “People still love Chris Tucker, he’s still Smokey,” Epps said. “He laid it down, he positioned me to do it. So Chris, if you’re listening, we need you, baby boy. Come on back.”
Tucker seemed open to coming back to the film franchise that made him a star when talking with Big Tigger last year, ultimately putting the onus on studio executives. “It’s studios, and they gotta want to do it, and then it’s producers and all that stuff,” Tucker said. “It’s a lot that goes with it.”
The Friday franchise started with the original film starring Ice Cube and Tucker in 1995 followed by two Tucker-free sequels: 2000’s Next Friday and 2002’s Friday After Next.

As one of the most influential hip-hop groups of the ’90s, A Tribe Called Quest is no stranger to basketball. In fact, one of the group’s founding members, the late Phife Dawg, was a big fan of the New York Knicks, and he immortalized former Knicks shooting guard John Starks in the song “8 Million Stories” from their 1993 album Midnight Marauders.

As part of the collaboration, New York Times best-selling author Hanif Abdurraqib compares why A Tribe Called Quest and basketball go hand-in-hand.
“I came to the music of A Tribe Called Quest as a young guy, a short guy who played basketball — streetball — on the East Side of Columbus, Ohio,” says Abdurraqib. “What I loved about A Tribe Called Quest is the same thing I loved about what pushed me to thrive on the basketball court. You have to be inventive. You have to be innovative. You have to see a hundred different things inside of one thing. For me, there’s not just one move. There’s a movement that opens up several other movements.”
