Real Rap RAW: Kevin Hart Aka “Chocolate Droppa” Makes Tiny Desk Debut, X Is Crying

Kevin Hart pulled off a crazy April Fools’ stunt when he dropped a Tiny Desk NPR performance as his rap alter ego, “Chocolate Droppa.”

Nobody saw it coming, but Hart went all in, delivering what he called “real rap RAW” with all the energy and humor you’d expect from him. For those who forgot, it’s been over nine years since Droppa dropped his debut mixtape, which had big collabs with Migos, Big Sean, and more. Hart wasn’t just joking around; he was spitting bars with the same confidence as any rapper in the game.

The performance was a mix of comedy and rap, with Kevin bringing his usual over-the-top personality, rapping with an extra layer of swag. His lines were funny, clever, and full of that signature Chocolate Droppa style. He wasn’t taking himself too seriously, but he also wasn’t playing when it came to showing off his skills.

The internet went wild after the performance dropped. X, Instagram, and everywhere else were flooded with memes, jokes, and people laughing at how serious Kevin was about his rap career. Fans were having a blast, joking about whether Droppa was actually coming back to drop more music or if it was just a one-time joke. Either way, it was an April Fools’ prank that had everyone laughing—and reminded us that Kevin Hart’s got more talent than we might’ve realized.

Check out some of the funniest reactions to Chocolate Droppa’s Tiny Desk debut below.

Liza Minnelli Is Headed to the ‘Drag Race’ Season 17 Finale

For 17 seasons, RuPaul’s Drag Race has served as a launch pad for new pop icons. Now, the show is honoring its inspirations by recognizing EGOT winner Liza Minnelli as a cultural icon who paved the way for entertainers like RuPaul.

On Tuesday (April 1), Drag Race announced that RuPaul will present Minnelli with the show’s “Giving Us Lifetime Achievement” award during the season 17 finale on Friday, April 18. Minnelli, who has long been heralded as both an ally for the LGBTQ+ community and a gay icon, will appear on-stage during the finale to receive the award.

Minnelli — who is one of the producers of the off-Broadway hit Drag: The Musical, an original play starring several Drag Race alumni — will be the third recipient of the award, which has been given out at every season finale of the show since season 15. The first-ever award was given to fashion designer Bob Mackie (who served as the very first guest judge on Drag Race), while Cassandra Peterson (better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark) received the second iteration of the honor in last year’s finale.

This won’t be the first time that Drag Race has paid homage to Liza with a Z. During the show’s iconic Snatch Game challenge in season 9, Alexis Michelle delivered a hilarious impression of Minnelli that ended up winning the challenge — Billboard even ranked Michelle’s performance at No. 11 on our list of the best musical impersonations in the challenge’s format.

Meanwhile, season 17 of RuPaul’s Drag Race is currently ranked as the No. 1 show on cable among 18 to 34-year-olds, according to a press release from Paramount. Five queens — Jewels Sparkles, Lexi Love, Onya Nurve, Sam Star and Suzie Toot — remain in the competition, with two more episodes to go before the grand finale.

Jayden Dandridge, the man accused of fatally shooting rap artist Sayso P and wounding Houston rapper Sauce Walka, has been found dead in Houston.

According to People Magazine, authorities confirmed Jayden Dandridge’s death just days after he was publicly identified as the primary suspect in the Memphis shooting that occurred on March 22. Dandridge, was wanted for his alleged involvement in the attack, which took place outside a Memphis business. Sauce, whose real name is Albert Mondane, was injured in the shooting, while his artist/friend, Sayso P, was killed.

The violent incident sent shockwaves through the Hip-Hop community, as Sauce Walka is a well-respected figure in the rap world. Law enforcement had been searching for Dandridge in connection with the case, and his death adds another tragic layer to an already devastating situation. Authorities have not yet released details about the circumstances surrounding his death, including whether foul play was involved. 

The killing of Sayso P and the wounding of Sauce Walka have drawn attention to the ongoing violence within the rap industry, with many artists and fans expressing their grief and frustration over the loss of another rising talent. While police continue to investigate both the Memphis shooting and Dandridge’s death, the case underscores the dangers that many Hip-Hop artists face. 

As more details emerge, the rap community mourns the loss of Sayso P while awaiting answers about the events that led to Dandridge’s death.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 17 Power Ranking: Episode 13 — Make Me Over

With RuPaul’s Drag Race bringing back their Rate-a-Queen system for season 17, Billboard decided to rate each of the new queens every week based on their performance. Below, we take a look at the emotional makeover challenge to see which queens became proud drag parents to their proud real parents. Spoilers ahead for episode 13.

It is a time-honored tradition on RuPaul’s Drag Race to have the queens put someone else in drag. The show has given us dozens of different permutations of this challenge — queens have made over veterans. athletes, members of the Pit Crew, even other eliminated queens.

But in the latest episode of the franchise (aired Friday, March 28), Drag Race decided to go for the emotional jugular, having the remaining contestants make over members of their actual family into members of their drag family. Reuniting with their moms or dads, the contestants put together a look, painted their parent’s faces and presented them on the runway for the judges, all while showing their family what it’s actually like to be a drag artist.

Much has been made over the year’s about Drag Race‘s attempts at sentimentality — fans and former contestants regularly make fun of RuPaul asking the contestants what they would say to their younger selves at the end of the competition. But this episode highlights what a subversive phenomenon Drag Race still is today. What other episode of modern television shows a trans drag performer working through a rocky relationship with her mother, a work-in-progress who is trying to be better after kicking her child out of the house? Given the combative and horrific political climate we find ourselves in today, this episode of Drag Race feels like a breath of fresh air.

Now, for the results: after winding up in the bottom the week prior, Sam Star took home her third challenge win for transforming her mother into Sassy Star. Frontrunner Onya Nurve and underdog Jewels Sparkles, meanwhile, wound up in the bottom for their makeovers of their dads. Lip synching to Amerie’s “1 Thing,” the duo delivered a stunning performance — so stunning, that RuPaul decided no one would be going home this week.

Below, Billboard takes a look back at episode 13 and ranks where our remaining contestants lie based on this episode and the season as a whole:

It’s safe to say the western trend is here to stay, so if you’ve been holding off on investing in a pair of cowboy boots, now’s the time to take the leap—and you’ll especially agree once you see these cute options from Ariat.

The brand, whose name is inspired by Secretariat, is the official sponsor of the Stagecoach music festival, which features nearly as many pop stars as country music stars this year. Lana Del Rey, who headlined Coachella last year (it’s held on the same grounds the weekend before Stagecoach each summer), will be gracing the stage with some songs from her new country album. Throughout the long weekend of moving from show to show, you’ll need a good pair of cowboy boots when you’re trekking through the desert dirt, and there’s hardly a more stylish option than Ariat.

Even the more fashion-forward western boot options from the brand are made of full-grain leather and feature a suede upper. The lining is also leather, so you know it will not only last, but develop a stunning patina of wear over time. They offer options at different heel and calf heights, and you’d definitely be able to repurpose them for lots of other looks.

The metallic-coated leather options are particularly fun, and would be ideal for those who just started planning their rodeo-ready outfits for Beyonce’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour. Regardless if you’re shopping with a particular outfit in mind, you’ll find many of the styles are capable of elevating a range of different looks. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite styles below.

Ariat

Casanova Western Boot

Keep it classic with the Casanova Western Boot. They have a 16-inch shaft that comes up to the knee, and pretty embroidery all throughout the leather. They are available in 17 different colorways, including fully-metallic gold and silver—both of which could go with tons of different outfits. If you’re feeling extra colorful, you can also opt for a bright pink suede, turquoise or even clover green.

Ariat

Starlight Western Boot

These might be the coolest cowboy boots I’ve ever seen, and they come in four colors—each of which is so cute you’ll have a hard time deciding which one to get. The full grain leather is coated with a metallic finish, and they have a 10-inch shaft, which makes them a perfect mid-calf option. They also feature diamond-shaped pull holes surrounded by vintage-inspired overlays for extra flair.

Ariat

Cate Western Boot

The 1.5-inch heel and ankle height make these a great choice for standing for long hours at a concert. They come in four colors, including a black and traditional brown, but it’s hard to pass up the red or white options. On the shaft, you’ll find stunning embroidery that makes them incredibly unique.

Ariat

Bench Made Clanton Western Boot

Lined with hung calf skin, these boots are made to be comfortable right out of the box. They also have removable footbed cushions, leather insole boards and a leather sock liner that contours to the shape of your foot and features anti-odor components that resist moisture. Oh, and also? They look amazing and they’re available in black and saddle brown.

Ariat

Booker Ultra Western Boot

This western take on a Chelsea boot could even be worn to the office. It comes in 11 different colorways, all of which are stunning, and they feature cushioning so you stay cozy. Of course, they also feature the convenient pull-on quality that Chelsea boots are known for, including elasticated sides.

Crime Mob’s Shocking Split: The Michael Jackson Lie That Ended It All

Crime Mob, the Atlanta-based rap group that brought crunk to the forefront, broke onto the scene in the early 2000s with their banger “Knuck If You Buck.”

Formed in 2002, the crew initially consisted of M.I.G., Cyco Black, Lil’ Jay, Killa C, and the fierce female duo, Princess and Diamond. Their raw, high-energy sound made them an instant staple in Southern hip-hop, dominating parties and the streets with tracks like “Rock Yo Hips” and “Stilettos (Pumps).” But even with all that heat, behind-the-scenes drama eventually caused their downfall.

In a recent podcast interview, Princess dropped a bombshell about the real reason behind Crime Mob’s breakup. Apparently, she once hit Diamond with a wild story, telling her that Michael Jackson had been spotted at Six Flags and was interested in hopping on a remix of “Knuck If You Buck.” At first, Diamond bought the story, but when she found out it was a total lie, she was livid. Feeling betrayed, Diamond made the decision to bounce from the group, and that was the beginning of the end for Crime Mob.

While fans had always speculated that creative differences or industry pressures were to blame, Princess’s confession caught everyone off guard. Though they’ve occasionally linked up for performances, Crime Mob never fully reclaimed their place in the rap game. Despite their brief time in the spotlight, their influence is undeniable, with their tracks still bumping in the clubs and inspiring a new generation of Southern rappers.

Crime Mob may be gone, but their legacy is far from over.

Will Smith Suggests Return to ‘Men in Black’ Franchise: ‘They Just Threw the Bag’

It looks like Will Smith is making a return to wearing a black suit.

The West Philly rapper and actor sat down with fellow Philadelphians Gillie & Wallo for their Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast and the subject of how he decides on which movies to take came up. He said that he wants to stop doing sequels, but sometimes the money is too hard to pass up and revealed he’s returning to the Men in Black franchise.

“I told myself I was done with sequels. I was like, ‘I’ve made enough sequels. I got some new things I want to make,’” he said. “Literally this morning, an hour before I came down here, they just threw the bag for another Men in Black. I was like, ‘Ah, I’m supposed to be going on tour this summer.’”

After they joked around that fans will have to be fine with hearing his music rather than seeing him perform his extensive catalog live, Smith suggested that he’ll shoot his scenes of the franchise’s fifth installment when he’s done with his tour.

Another highlight from their conversation that made its rounds on social media was a clip of the three of them rapping along to DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince‘s classic song “Brand New Funk.”

Smith recently announced a 26-date European tour starting on June 25 in Rabat, Morocco and ending on Sept. 2 in Paris.

Madonna Celebrates Trans Day of Visibility Alongside Alex Consani: ‘Thank You to All For Showing Up’

With Monday (March 31) marking the annual International Transgender Day of Visibility, pop superstar Madonna took a moment to celebrate the community with a post to her social media.

Sharing a series of photos from a fundraising fashion show she attended over the weekend to her Instagram account — including a photo with trans model Alex Consani — Madonna thanked her fans for continuing to show up in support of queer and trans people’s rights in 2025, while also celebrating yet another milestone in her career.

“Happy Trans Visibility Day!! And Happy 40th anniversary of my first film- Desperately Seeking Susan,” the singer wrote in her caption. “We celebrated this weekend by attending a fashion show called, MOTHER -DAUGHTER-HOLY SPIRIT!! All money raised will go to the Trans Justice Funding Project! Thank you, to All for showing up.”

Trending on Billboard

Consani, who made history as one of the first transgender models to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2024, shared Madonna’s post to her account while adding a message of her own to her Instagram Stories. “It’s important, now more than ever to remind ourselves how beautiful, powerful, and creative our community is,” she wrote. “We must lead with love and understanding, even when those around us don’t care to do the same. Listen to the trans people around you, give them love and let them know they are heard.”

Earlier this month, Madonna got candid in a post to her Instagram Stories about watching attacks against the trans community grow over the past few years. “It breaks my heart to witness the pain of Trans people who are not accepted by a society that fears them because they are different,” she wrote at the time. “The excitement people get from watching people go down or be silenced, be blacklisted … is disturbing. The enjoyment we get from other people’s pain is a sin.”

According to GLAAD, Transgender Day of Visibility was started back in 2010 when trans activist Rachel Crandall created the international holiday as a means of focusing on celebrating “the lives of transgender people” rather than simply focusing on violence and discrimination against the community. In 2025, the holiday has come into sharp focus in the U.S. as the current presidential administration continues to openly dismantle the rights and freedoms of trans people around the country.
