Tetris Kelly:
Bruno got his Sexyy Red wish in a new track, and all his No. 1 collaborators joined him in the video. This is Music You Should Know: “Fat Juicy & Wet.” We are obsessed. The brand new track came together after Bruno went on socials asking Sexyy Red to make a “strip club anthem.” It was to celebrate his No. 1 with Lady Gaga and his No. 1 with ROSÉ. Well in iconic fashion, he got them both in the video for the new track. The song and video show all the ways this crew is iconic. Can you also not get enough? Let us know if you think Bruno has another No. 1 in the comments!

Brazilian musician and DJ Alok reveals his new ‘Something Else’ alias and how he plans to experiment and create various types of new music, and more.

“Miçanga” is out now. Read the full interview here!

Alok:

I think that the main goal about ‘Something Else’ is really like you just become that big, that so so giant, that everything is super big, and then you just miss also a different kind of connection you know?

Tetris Kelly:

Alok has transformed to Something Else, and with a new name comes a brand-new track.

When you say ‘Something Else,’ I don’t want to say that one kind of style of genre. I just want to be like ‘it’s something else from that Alok pop that you saw Belém.’ You know?

Tetris Kelly:

The Brazilian dance icon spoke exclusively with Billboard about branching out from pop with this new sound.

Alok:

What happened is that, you know, I’ve been performing for the last 20 years or more, and I started with, like, side trends, very underground. And then I made a choice in my life, which was like, I wanted to go into more of this pop world, and I became this pop artist, you know, you’re playing for, like, 1 million people. You’re playing those big structures and, you know, this massive production. And of course, sometimes when you’re going to play in some places where it doesn’t fit so much, you know, this huge structure, I just feel that there’s a lot of people that I want to connect with and they also want to connect with me.

Chris Brown has filed a $500 million defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery for their documentary ‘Chris Brown: A History of Violence.’ Keep watching for the full details about the case.  

Tetris Kelly:

Chris Brown is suing for $500 million after a documentary is saying he has a history of violence. We have the story as it’s developing. The “Loyal” singer has filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Discovery, alleging the media giant defamed him with a 2024 documentary claiming that the R&B star had a long history of sexually abusing women. He’s accusing the production company behind ‘Chris Brown: A History of Violence,’ of “promoting and publishing false information in their pursuit of likes, clicks, downloads, and dollars and to the detriment” of the R&B star — all while “knowing that it was full of lies and deception and violating basic journalistic principles.” The Jane Doe who made sexual assault accusations against Brown in the documentary is also named as a defendant in the complaint as well as several individuals who appeared as talking heads in the doc. Brown is asking for $500 million in damages, “a portion of which will be donated to survivors of sexual abuse.” Warner Bros. Discovery and Ample Entertainment did not immediately respond to Billboard’s requests for comment.
