Bunnie XO needs a favor from haters who say she doesn’t look the part of a proper country music star wife — but be warned, it’s pretty explicit.
Shortly after sharing a video of her dancing provocatively on husband Jelly Roll, the podcaster uploaded another clip telling critics exactly what they can do with their opinions about her appearance and personality.
It all started Monday, when Bunnie uploaded the video of her grinding on Jelly from behind as the “Son of a Sinner” singer carried on a conversation with someone in public. “Any time my husband is trying to have a serious convo,” she captioned the TikTok, with which she paired 2 Live Crew’s NSFW track “Me So Horny.”
Just a few hours later, however, the Dumb Blonde host shared another video. This time, she responded to commenters who, according to Bunnie, told her she doesn’t “act or dress like a country music star’s wife.”
Wearing a baggy flannel shirt and red sweatpants in the TikTok, she lip-synced along to comedian Brittany Broski saying the following: “That’s such a weird thing to say to someone, be softer, be more feminine … How about suck on my nuts?”

“I will not fit in your tiny close minded box. Ever. #jellyandbunnie,” she added in her caption.
Bunnie has long been outspoken when it comes to brushing off haters. Just a few weeks ago, she posted a sweet video of her and Jelly kissing at the 2024 CMT Awards, captioned, “How we walk thru life together knowing we make ppl smile & others sooo mad.”
She and the “Save Me” musician have been quite active on TikTok as of late, with the couple giving followers a look at one of Jelly’s morning workouts last week. In a video posted on Bunnie’s account, he went for a swim in their home pool before declaring that he wants to run a “5K by Turkey Day!”

Dame Dash is making news again, and this time it’s for saying something about his former business partner and friend Jay-Z. Dame recently sat down with Omari Heflin and Terone Johnson of the “Moguls in the Making” podcast and made a big claim about one of the most legendary rap songs of the early 2000s: Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’.”

After giving his thoughts on the Drake and Kendrick feud, Dame was asked about Future using his name in a bar on a recent song. “Big pimpin’, rockin’ wit her like I’m Dame Dash,” Future raps on “Fried (She’s a Vibe)” off his and Metro’s No. 1 album We Don’t Trust You. “I f—k with Future for that,” says Dame.
The hosts then throw a curveball, saying that they heard the entire song was actually about him. Dame takes a beat and then reveals, “everything Jay said, he was pretending to be me.”

Dash reiterated after co-host Terone Johnson said, “I heard that whole song was actually about Dame Dash.” Co-host Omari Heflin tries to confirm asking, “So you saying he ain’t tellin’ his story, he tellin’ your story?” to which Dame answered with a simple, “Duh.” You can watch the full interview here.
Billboard reached out to Jay-Z’s representatives for comment.
Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time Dame has made this claim. Last month, when he was a guest on the “My Expert Opinion” podcast, Dame was asked about getting name-dropped by Future. The Roc-A-Fella co-founder gave big ups to Future, saying, “Shout out to Future, ’cause he said my name on a current record. And, don’t think I don’t appreciate it. You know what’s cool about it? Future was talking about my past in the present.”

Dame then asked the room why Future would name drop him when he’s not the guy who made the record. “You were one of the stars of the video,” said Mecca, one of the hosts. “‘Cause n—s know it was about me,” Dame replied, as all the hosts started laughing.
It’s been reported that Dame regrets his behavior in the “Big Pimpin’” video — in a video released via TMZ back in 2017, Dash said he was “embarrassed” when he looked back on those days. “I would never want my daughter to have to go through that and if I ever saw my son Boogie doing that, we would have some serious issues,” he said.

Hudson’s debut studio album Glorious, released May 17 on HK Music/Virgin Records, debuts on each of the following charts this week (dated June 1):
Heatseekers Albums: No. 3
Top Album Sales: No. 10
Top Current Album Sales: No. 10
Vinyl Albums: No. 19
Independent Albums: No. 41
The 12-track set starts with 8,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in its opening week (May 17-23), according to Luminate. Of that sum, 7,000 were in album sales, with 2,000 in vinyl. Its first week totals were aided by its availability across five vinyl variants (including exclusive iterations for Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Target, as well as a signed edition in the artist’s webstore) and a promotional partnership with TalkShopLive.
The album also helps Hudson debut at No. 5 on the Emerging Artists chart.

Hudson teamed with Grammy Award-winner and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Linda Perry for much of the album, along with Johan Carlsson and Danny Fujikawa. The latter is Hudson’s fiancé and singer-guitarist in the band Chief. Carlsson was a member of the band Carolina Liar and has written and produced songs for Flo Rida, Ariana Grande, One Direction and Katy Perry, among others.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Hudson said that most of the set’s songs were written over a two-week period. “At one point, we wrote three songs in a day and Linda’s like, ‘I think we need to stop. I think we have two albums.’ We could have written forever.”
Hudson, who is managed by Sandbox Entertainment, signed with Virgin Music Group in February and released her first single under the deal, “Talk About Love,” Jan. 30.
Glorious earns Hudson her first solo entry on Billboard’s charts, following one collaborative hit. In September 2012, her role as dance teacher Cassandra July in the fourth season of Glee resulted in a Billboard chart placement following that season’s premiere episode. The Glee cast’s “Americano/Dance Again,” featuring Hudson, reached No. 25 on the Pop Digital Song Sales chart and No. 61 on Digital Song Sales. The song, in which Hudson performs in character, is a mashup of Lady Gaga’s “Americano” and Jennifer Lopez’s “Dance Again,” featuring Pitbull.
Along with Almost Famous, Hudson has also starred in box office hits including Bride Wars, Glass Onion and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
21 Savage is stuck playing mediator as a friend to both parties in the heated feud between Metro Boomin and Drake.
Savage was on Instagram Live over the weekend, when Metro continued to playfully troll him about his OVO ties and allegiance to his Her Loss collaborator.
The super producer jokingly jabbed at the Savage in the IG Live comment section while referring to him as “OVO Savage” and alleging that he “JUS KNOW [21 Savage] GOT A OWL TRAMP STAMP,” as noted by HipHopDX.

Savage then welcomed Metro into the IG Live session before giving him the boot. He even used Drake’s “Push Ups” diss against him in the process.
“Oh, you was talking s–t, b—h? Get off my Live,” 21 said. “I’m finna block this n—a. Metro, shut your ho- a– up and make some drums, n—a.”

Metro and Drake are still beefing and neither party has disclosed the source of their friction. Drake dissed him on the aforementioned “Push Ups” and dropped Metro Boomin’s government name (Leland Wayne) and called him “f—–g lame” on “Family Matters.”
Metro responded with the “BBL Drizzy” beat giveaway, and remixes to the AI-assisted instrumental have taken on a life of their own. Drake even rapped over the diss beat on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything.”
Earlier in May, while fans flooded another 21 Savage IG Live, he fired back with his belief that Drake and Metro will eventually figure things out and become cool again.
“Don’t keep coming on to my motherf—–g Live talking about no motherf—–g beef. Metro my brother and Drake my brother. Those n—-s going to figure that s–t out eventually,” he said.
21 actually brought Drake out as a special guest at his Toronto concert on Monday night (May 27) as part of his American Dream Tour. They performed collabs like “Knife Talk” and “Rich Flex.” Savage then gave Drizzy his flowers before he left the stage.
“That’s a good n—a right there, a genuine n—a. We need more n—-s like him in the culture. On my momma, straight up,” 21 stated.
