If you’re still indecisive, check out the reviews. One Walmart customer said, “Needed a carry-on for a recent flight, and this set was perfect. Good storage capacity in the rolling case (including a zippered side and bungie straps), and the smaller case was perfect for holding all the little extras as a personal item. Color is also very nice.”
Another Walmart customer described this luggage set as “very light, easy to handle, and roomy.”

John Legend was one of the first major musicians to publicly endorse Kamala Harris for president in 2024, but he’s not the only one in his family supporting the politician.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of his private performance at the Democratic National Convention this week, the “All of Me” singer revealed that his 8-year-old daughter Luna — one of four kids he shares with Chrissy Teigen — sees Harris as a role model. “[Luna] is so excited to see someone who’s Black and Asian like she is, [and] a woman like she is — so she’s looking at [Kamala] like, ‘This is me’ up there,’” he told the outlet.
“For her to see that, of course, is really inspiring, and she’s excited,” he continued. “And she can’t imagine why anyone would vote for Donald Trump, but that’s another issue.”
As mentioned, Legend was quick to voice support for Harris when President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race in July. “I’m so ready to work to help unite the pro-democracy coalition to reject Trump’s authoritarian, oppressive Project 2025 and elect Kamala Harris as our President,” he tweeted at the time. “She’s ready for this fight and I’m excited to help her in any way I can.”
The EGOT winner also praised Biden’s decision to let Harris take the reins while speaking to THR. “I think people were kind of apathetic about voting for two 80-year-olds, and they were ready for some new energy and some new excitement,” he said. “I’m truly grateful to President Biden for making that sacrifice, because the default for any president, especially someone who’s had as successful a first term as he has, is to run for re-election. And he understood that that wasn’t necessarily the best thing for the country, and he did something that was really graceful and patriotic by stepping down and allowing a new generation to step up.”
Legend’s remarks come over a week after he announced plans to release an album full of children’s lullabies titled My Favorite Dream, featuring lead single “L-O-V-E.” On the track he sings alongside Teigen and their oldest two children, Luna and 6-year-old son Miles.
Luna also personally illustrated the single’s cover art, and Legend — who’s also Dad to 1-year-old daughter Esti and 2-month-old Wren — wrote on Instagram that all the album’s songs were “baby tested, baby approved.”
“I’m right in the thick of fatherhood,” he added in a statement about the LP, which is due Aug. 30. “My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us. And Chrissy and I also love singing to our kids. We make up little jingles and ditties for them all the time. In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them.”
It looks like Ye still has love for Donald Trump.
Over the weekend, the Chicago rapper was spotted with his wife, Bianca Censori, in their Tesla Cybertruck outside a Donald Trump rally in Beverly Hills, California. TikTok user @ali.aam.06 captured a group of Trump supporters running up to Ye’s car as he pulled over to show them love. Naturally, the crowd went nuts and couldn’t believe they had just met him as he drove off.
Last month, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, former White House director of strategic communications Alyssa Farah Griffin revealed a plan the ex-president had for “unifying” the country. “One day he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country,” she told a fan after being asked what was the wildest thing that came across her desk as a Trump staffer. “And I can think of a few things less unifying than that. But we were like, ‘Not the time or the place, sir.’”

The former president and Ye have been linked since 2016, when the rapper met with Trump in New York City after he won the presidential election. “I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues,” Kanye tweeted at the time. “I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change.”
Their most recent link-up was when they had a controversial dinner with far-right streamer Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, where Ye reportedly asked Trump to be his 2024 running mate. “So I help a seriously troubled man, who just happens to be black, Ye, who has been decimated in his business and virtually everything else and who has always been good to me, by allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, alone, so that I can give him very much needed ‘advice,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time. “He shows up with 3 people, two of which I didn’t know, the other a political person who I haven’t seen in years. I told him don’t run for office, a total waste of time, can’t win. Fake News went CRAZY!”
Also, Trump made an appearance on Adin Ross’ stream earlier this month (Aug. 5) and referred to the rapper as “complicated.” Trump said of West, “He’s very complicated. Let’s say complicated, because he is. He’s a really nice guy, but he can get some people into trouble.” Adding, “And he can get some other people — he’s got a good heart, he does, he does, but he’s complicated.”
Ye has yet to publicly endorse the former president’s current re-election campaign.

The trailer for the six-part Apple TV+ documentary series K-Pop Idols has arrived, and it’s premiering exclusively on Billboard below.
Set for its global unveiling at the end of the month, the first-of-its-kind series offers an unprecedented and refreshing glimpse into the high-stakes, high-pressure world of K-pop while following the lives of Korean-American rapper-singer Jessi, chart-topping boy band CRAVITY, and global girl group BLACKSWAN navigating the intense realities of the industry.
With raw storytelling reminiscent of the honesty felt in 2012’s illuminating K-pop doc 9 Muses of Star Empire, the upcoming series follows the idols as they confront their careers’ euphoric highs and harsh lows. The K-Pop Idols trailer shows Jessi tearfully recounting her experience of being stranded outside during her European tour, while Allen of CRAVITY discusses the grueling schedules that leave K-pop idols sleep-deprived. BLACKSWAN’s Fatou shares the difficulty of not seeing her family for years and her bandmate Gabi tearfully questions her place in her girl group.
Filming took place across multiple countries, including the United States, South Korea, France, Belgium, Germany and Cambodia, capturing the global scope of the K-pop phenomenon and helping to resonate with both dedicated fans and a broader audience for a narrative that reveals the too rarely seen vulnerable sides of the stars that remain at the heart of the rapidly rising music scene.
Trending on Billboard
“With K-Pop Idols, our goal was to pull back the curtain on the highly competitive world of K-pop and reveal the human stories behind the stars,” said executive producer Elise Chung, who executive produced Bling Empire. “This series is a tribute to the relentless passion and perseverance of artists like Jessi, CRAVITY and BLACKSWAN who are shaping the future of music on a global scale. We’re excited for viewers to experience the challenges, victories and everything in between that comes with chasing a dream as big as becoming a K-pop idol.”
K-Pop Idols was produced for Apple TV+ by Matador Content, a subsidiary of Boat Rocker whose work includes shows like ABC’s Boy Band, Paramount’s Lip Sync Battle (Paramount Network) and Vice’s What Would Diplo Do? An Emmy Award-winning team contributed to the project including Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry executive producers Todd Lubin and Jay Peterson, as well as Chung, Jack Turner (Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields producer), Sue Kim (The Speed Cubers director), Bradley Cramp (Lord of War) and Eric Yujin Kim (Undoing). Fans can also look forward to famous friends of the different artists making cameos in the series too.
Apple TV+ will exclusively stream K-Pop Idols, set to premiere globally on Aug. 30. Take a look at the trailer and new photos until then.
