Erica Banks is once again the center of internet buzz, this time over her upcoming strip club tour — a move that’s raising eyebrows and sparking debate online.
The rapper, best known for her viral hit “Buss It,” recently announced the tour on Instagram, teasing fans with, “CALLING ALL BALLERS & SHOT CALLERS… Catch me at your fave Strip Club next week on my stage tour 🫶🏾” The tour kicks off June 1 at Klub24 in Miami and now stretches through June 14, hitting major cities like Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, and Atlanta’s iconic Magic City. She’s even offering private dances, starting at $1,000.
Despite the buzz, not all reactions have been positive. Critics online claim she’s backtracking in her career, with comments like “You’re supposed to strip first then turn rapper” and trolling remarks about her body enhancements. Much of the discourse centers around her BBL surgeries, which have long been a topic of public scrutiny.
Unfazed, Erica fired back: “My strip tour got y’all in a frenzy… Your boyfriend won’t [be a hater].” She’s been consistent in owning her choices, previously advocating for body positivity at the BET Awards and shrugging off online negativity. “Do you, girl,” she said, reinforcing that her confidence isn’t up for debate.
Love it or hate it, Erica Banks is making bold moves—and she’s not asking for anyone’s permission.

Rapper Kentrell D. Gaulden, better known by his stage name YoungBoy Never Broke Again or NBA YoungBoy, received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump on Wednesday
The 25-year-old Louisiana native, who has become one of the most streamed artists of his generation, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to move forward without the weight of his legal troubles. “This means everything to me,” Gaulden said in a statement. “It gives me the chance to grow—not just as an artist, but as a father and a man.”
YB also gave special recognition to Alice Marie Johnson, a key figure in Trump’s clemency efforts. Johnson, whose own drug-related life sentence was commuted by Trump during his first term after public advocacy from Kim Kardashian, has since played a central role in reviewing pardon cases. YoungBoy’s pardon comes after years of legal complications stemming from gun-related charges. He pleaded guilty in December to being a felon in possession of a firearm, closing a long chapter of legal entanglements that stretched across multiple states and interfered with his rising career.
Despite the setbacks, he has maintained a massive fanbase and consistent commercial success.
With this legal hurdle now behind him, Gaulden can focus on his music and personal life without the looming threat of past charges. The pardon represents more than just legal relief—it marks a clean slate for an artist whose story continues to evolve in the public eye.

The volumizing effect is partnered with an ultra-black hue that doesn’t flake, smudge or clump on the lashes, avoiding that spider effect. We recommend starting at the root and working outwards, moving the brush through your lashes as you go. Monsieur Big’s thick-bristled wand is tailor-made to disperse the lashes, coating them evenly in the mascara for a cohesive look. If you’re looking for curl, volume and staying power, you’re looking in the right place.

While some things haven’t changed about the packaging, the formula of Lancome’s single shadows has received major upgrades to offer makeup lovers impactful color payoff and shine.
These singles are now more long-lasting than ever. Crease-resistant, densely packed and packed with rich pigments, the Color Design line features over 11 unique shades on Lancome’s website with satin, matte and shimmer finishes.

Just 48 hours after surviving a harrowing drive-by shooting, Detroit rapper Skilla Baby stunned fans by returning to the stage with an unforgettable performance.
On May 24, during 42 Dugg’s Memorial Day Weekend concert at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Skilla Baby emerged as a surprise guest. The rapper, visibly injured with his arm in a sling and wrapped in bandages, performed with unwavering energy, proving his resilience and dedication to his craft. Skilla delivered a passionate performance of his 2022 hit “Duck Yo Taco,” igniting the crowd despite his physical condition.
Fans erupted as he took the stage, many in awe of his determination after being shot just two days prior on May 22 in a violent drive-by near Redford Township, Michigan. Over 20 bullets were fired at his SUV while he drove near 8 Mile Road and Centralia. The barrage left Skilla Baby with gunshot wounds to his head, back, and hand. His vehicle crashed into a building during the attack, further emphasizing the severity of the incident.
Despite the gravity of his injuries, Skilla Baby’s appearance on stage demonstrated not only his toughness but also a message of perseverance. His quick return to performing reflects a fearless spirit that resonates with fans and underscores the harsh realities faced by many artists navigating fame and danger. Skilla’s ability to channel pain into performance has only deepened his connection with his audience—and cemented his status as one of Detroit’s most compelling voices in rap.

Lindsay Lohan is reprising one of her most iconic roles, but according to her, stepping back into one facet of the character was a little, well, freaky.
In a conversation with Freakier Friday costar Chloe Fineman for an Elle cover story published Tuesday (May 27), the actress opened up about what it was like to sing again while playing Anna Coleman for the second time in Freaky Friday‘s upcoming sequel. Also starring Jamie Lee Curtis, the original 2003 flick found Lohan’s character — a teenage rebel who fronts a rock band called Pink Slip — magically switching bodies with her mother.

“It was good,” Lohan began. “Well, it was kind of nerve-racking at first, because I’m not singing as me. When I was doing [Freaky Friday], I was also recording an album, so it was part of my life at the time. In this movie, I was singing it as Anna, whereas before felt more like Lindsay singing.”
Trending on Billboard
The Parent Trap star also confirmed that everyone in the original Pink Slip lineup returned for the sequel. “The whole band came back,” she told the Saturday Night Live comedian. “And it’s so funny, because Christina Vidal [who plays Maddie] had just had a baby, and we were like, ‘How weird is this? Are we still cool?’”
The interview comes just a couple of months ahead of the premiere of Freakier Friday, which hits theaters on Aug. 8. It’ll mark the latest project in Lohan’s onscreen renaissance that has taken place over the past few years following a long hiatus, during which the actress started a family. In 2022, she married finance executive Bader Shammas, and the pair welcomed a son, Luai, the following year.
According to Lohan, her little boy doesn’t fully understand her job as an actress yet — although he did recognize her on screen when she watched the original Freaky Friday to study her own guitar playing. “In my trailer, one day I was watching the original guitar scene and practicing movements,” she recalled to Fineman. “And he was there and he was like, ‘Mama,’ pointing at the screen.”

Fivio Foreign’s 2025 has been anything but smooth, as the Brooklyn drill rapper has spent the entire year behind bars following a weapons-related arrest on New Year’s Day.
However, there may finally be a glimmer of hope for the “Big Drip” artist. According to the New Jersey Public Information Office, Fivio pled guilty to one count of making terroristic threats, specifically, a third-degree charge involving a threat to commit a violent crime. Originally, Fivio was facing a far more serious legal battle with four additional charges looming over him, including unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated assault.
However, his attorney, Adam Lustberg, shared with TMZ that those charges are likely to be dropped in light of the plea deal. The incident that landed him in jail reportedly began when a woman asked Fivio for a jump-start for her car. She told police that instead of helping, Fivio pulled a gun on her, leading to his arrest by Edgewater Police. Since then, the rapper has remained in custody, awaiting legal resolution.
Lustberg says the hope now is that Fivio will receive probation at his sentencing hearing scheduled for August. Given the time he’s already served — nearly eight months behind bars — there’s a strong chance the court will consider it sufficient punishment, opening the door for a possible release. For a rapper who’s spent much of his career building momentum, this could be a crucial step toward getting his life and music career back on track.
