Justin Bieber is celebrating Hailey Bieber‘s wins.
Following the announcement that the model had sold her Rhode skincare company to e.l.f. Beauty for an eye-popping $1 billion on Wednesday (May 23), the pop star took to social media to champion his business-savvy wife in a sweet but subtle way.
On Instagram, Justin posted a glamorous photo of Hailey rocking a powerful white suit, as well as a screenshot of her own caption announcing the news on the platform. “When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,” the mogul wrote on her page. “So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty … a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do.”
“I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of rhode as well as strategic advisor to e.l.f. Beauty,” Hailey continued in her caption. “Thank you to the amazing rhode team who have helped me build over the years. I couldn’t have done it without all of you. And to our rhode community, thank you for being the most supportive and for being on this journey, this next chapter is going to be even more incredible together!”
Justin also reshared Hailey’s post on his Story.

The businesswoman didn’t share the billion-dollar price tag of her sale in her post, but the 10-digit figure was reported by Wall Street Journal and Forbes. The latter publication breaks down the deal as being “$600 million in cash, $200 million worth of e.l.f. Beauty stock and a potential $200 million in future payouts based on the company’s growth over the next three years.”
The sale comes just three years after Hailey first launched Rhode, a venture for which Justin has been at her side every step of the way. The musician — who married Hailey in 2018 — has appeared with her at several events for the company, and in February, he shared photos and wrote on Instagram, “Congrats baby on your beautiful @rhode pop up.”
Hailey’s major money move also comes shortly after she appeared on the cover of Vogue, getting candid in the accompanying interview about her life — both as a woman in the public eye and as a new mom to son Jack Blues, whom she welcomed with Justin in August. The “Peaches” singer also shared a few thoughts with the publication, saying, “I’ve done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I’ve ever done was marry Hailey.”
Shortly afterward, he faced a bit of backlash for sharing on Instagram that he once told Hailey she’d “never be on the cover of Vogue” during a “huge fight” they had in the past. Justin has since removed the caption from his page, replacing it with a string of emojis, but he’d originally added, “Yikes I know, so mean … For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even.. I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even … So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.”
After leading Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart since last January, Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” cracks the No. 1 slot on the Latin Airplay chart (dated May 31). It’s the third song from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, his sixth solo album, to hit the top of the overall Latin radio ranking.
“DTMF” advances 2-1 in its 13th week on the Latin Airplay chart, after a 31% gain in audience impressions, to 8.8 million, earned in United States during the May 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate.

“DTMF” marks the third track from the album Debí Tirar Más Fotos to hit No. 1 on the tally, after “El Clúb” and “Baile Inolvidable” each charted at the summit for two weeks between February and March.
As Benito claims the Latin Airplay crown, he adds a 28th chart-topping hit –a run that started in 2018– and enters a tie with Daddy Yankee for the fourth-most since the ranking began in 1994. Here’s a recap of those artists with the most wins, with Shakira standing out as the sole female representation among those acts with at least 24 No. 1s:
No. 1s, Artist37, J Balvin35, Ozuna32, Enrique Iglesias28, Bad Bunny28, Daddy Yankee24, Maluma24, Shakira
Rauw Alejandro & Luis Angel ‘El Flaco’ Score Big Wins: Elsewhere on the Latin charts, Rauw Alejandro and Luis Angel ‘El Flaco’ score additional gains.
Rauw Alejandro returns to the summit on the Latin Pop Airplay chart almost a year after “Touching The Sky” ruled for one week (August 2024). His recent single, “Carita Linda” jumps 3-1 in its sixth week with 4.15 million in audience impressions, up 19%, earned during the same period. The song becomes the Puerto Rican’s seventh ruler, and third unaccompanied by any other act.
Meanwhile, Luis Angel ‘El Flaco’ scores a second champ on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart with “Vuelve a Mi.” The song, which climbs 5-1, becomes the airplay Greatest Gainer of the week after a 44% boost in impressions, to 6.7 million.
“Vuelve a Mi” also takes Luis Angel to his third top on the overall Latin Airplay chart, where it rallies 14-4 in its 11th recap.

You never know what will happen when you throw a lot of changes at a long-running awards show — but for the 2025 American Music Awards, it appears that change is a good thing. The show, which was hosted by Jennifer Lopez and held at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Monday for the first time, posted its largest audience since 2019 (when the show was hosted by Ciara).
The AMAs were the No. 1 broadcast of the night on Monday. The show attracted 4.86 million viewers, according to Nielsen, up 38% from its last live broadcast in 2022 (airing Nov. 20, 2022, and hosted by Wayne Brady on ABC).

There were many changes with this year’s show — it was the first regular AMAs broadcast on CBS, the first to air on Memorial Day (or in the spring, in general), the first not to take place in the Los Angeles area and first since a time reduction from three to two hours.

The 2025 American Music Awards on CBS drove 9.2 billion potential impressions and 816,600 mentions on social media, while also posting growth across all key demographics versus the 2022 broadcast: up 91% among adults 18-34, up 23% among adults 18-49 and up 16% among adults 25-54.
The 2025 American Music Awards social accounts garnered over 100M video views within the first 24 hours across Instagram, Tiktok, X and Facebook, according to Listenfirst.

Dove Cameron is remembering Cameron Boyce on what would’ve been his 26th birthday, posting an emotional tribute to her late Descendants co-star Wednesday (May 28).
Six years since the Jessie actor died suddenly after suffering an epileptic seizure in his sleep, the “Boyfriend” singer shared a carousel of photos with her friend and wrote on Instagram, “i still feel you all the time.”
“catch you in the next life,” she continued. “happy birthday. i love you.”

In one of the photos, a smiling Boyce wraps his arms around the Liv & Maddie alum while smiling wide; in another, they sit on the floor and pose with two other Descendants stars, Sofia Carson and Booboo Stewart. Cameron also shared a snap of the gun and rose tattoo on her wrist that she got in the late actor’s honor.
Carson also paid tribute to Boyce on Wednesday, sharing a black-and-white photo and writing on Instagram, “Keep dancing in heaven, my Cam. Earth could never be the same without you.”
Boyce was just 20 years old when he died in 2019, leaving the Disney community — and countless fans who watched him on projects such as Jessie and Bunk’d — in shock. At the time, a spokesperson confirmed that his seizure had been the “result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated.”
Cameron and Boyce starred together in three Descendants movies between 2015 and 2019. The soundtrack for the first film debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
The Schmigadoon! actress has since pursued a solo music career, dropping her debut single “Bloodshot” in 2019. Her viral hit “Boyfriend” peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023, and she is now fresh off the release of new singles “Too Much” and “French Girls,” the latter of which dropped earlier in May.
“There’s a huge intersection between pain, heartbreak, joy and camp and levity. And that’s where we found ourselves in ‘French Girls,’” Cameron recently told Billboard of the newer song. “The melodrama of being a muse for a sculptor or a painter. There’s something so painfully romantic and also constricting about that. In ‘French Girls,’ the thing that I was really obsessed with was this self-sacrificing mania about being a muse that is not healthy.”

Suge Knight believes Diddy should be a free man at the conclusion of his sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
While Knight and Diddy were at opposite ends of the contentious West Coast/East Coast rap beef in the ’90s, the Death Row founder joined NewsNation’s Cuomo on Tuesday (May 27), where he detailed why he thinks that Diddy shouldn’t be found guilty.
Knight said he believes Combs had many accomplices who should be in handcuffs with him, while Diddy was the only Bad Boy Records executive to take the fall. “I say this all the time, Puffy and I are not friends. But Puffy should definitely walk,” he explained. “There were other executives involved in Puffy’s life and for Puffy to be the only guy that gets on the stand is a sad day for hip-hop.”

Host Chris Cuomo asked Knight about his relationship with Diddy’s former assistant, Capricorn Clark, who testified against Combs and claimed Diddy kidnapped her. Knight alleged that Bad Boy’s Reggie Wright Jr. forced Clark to have sex with multiple people.

“I don’t think this is a case where Puffy should be going to prison … How could every person who’s involved with Puffy not on the stand except for Puffy? At some point, the law gotta be blind,” Knight continued. “We just can’t jump to conclusions and say, ‘throw Puffy under the bus.’ Like I said, him and I are not friends, but Puffy definitely should walk. What’s right is right, wrong is wrong.”
Even if Diddy ends up receiving a lengthy prison sentence, Knight believes that President Donald Trump will end up giving the Bad Boy mogul a pardon.
“I don’t think he has nothing to worry about, and I don’t think he’s worried because he’s gonna be federal, and if he gets convicted, Trump’s gonna pardon him,” he said to Cuomo. “I feel that Puffy is going to be alright and have a fair shot at it. He’s not a dummy. I’m quite sure somebody is going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them.”
Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial is approaching day 10 and is expected to last into July. He faces life in prison if convicted on all charges.

While Drake and Ye had a mutual respect for each other early on that slowly fell apart over the years. The 6 God’s “Best I Ever Had” music video was actually directed by Ye back in 2009, and Drizzy called the rapper the “most influential” person to his sound. Not to mention they joined forces with Lil Wayne for the incredible Billboard Hot 100 hit “Forever,” and Ye also contributed to production on Drizzy’s Thank Me Later debut.
By the mid-2010s, however, the pair went their separate ways and began sending each other cryptic shots. Drake appeared to take a jab at Ye and Jay-Z as they prepared to deliver Watch the Throne during a 2011 Tim Westwood interview, with Drizzy implying that he and Lil Wayne were getting ready to drop a joint record and that Hov and Ye took the idea from them. Things then escalated in 2011 when Drizzy said he was trying to “surpass” Ye, but fears of an escalating feud were quelled after the latter popped out at The Boy’s OVO Fest in 2013. Yet a year later, Drake clowned some of Ye’s bars on Yeezus, and in 2016 bragged that his pool was bigger then the G.O.O.D. Music leader’s.
While the tensions between the two didn’t appear to run that deep, Ye escalated the feud during a radio interview in 2016 when he criticized Drizzy and DJ Khaled’s song “For Free” dominating radio. The rant caused Drake to respond and express confusion over why Ye was targeting him, but he then still enlisted Ye to appear on his 2017 track “More Life.”
But by 2018, their relationship had completely fractured. Ye produced Pusha T’s “Infared” diss aimed at Drake, and is long believed to have been the one that told Push about Drake’s son Adonis. Push used that information for his killshot diss track “The Story of Adidon.”
Back and forths continued throughout the year, with Ye momentarily trying to broker peace between him and The Boy but to no avail. Eventually, Drake said “it is what it is” in an interview with Rap Radar, adding he has no intention of brokering peace with Ye. The feud then reached a head in 2021 when Ye dropped off Donda four days before Drizzy was set to release Certified Lover Boy. Both albums debuted atop the Billboard 200, but Drake’s effort came on top with 613,000 album units to Ye’s 309,000.
The two titans did then put their differences aside later that year for the Free Larry Hoover Concert, but on his 2023 song “Red Button,” Drake blasted any hope of a truce with the Yeezy leader.
“Every time you need me for a boost, I never hesitated/ Every time that Yeezy called a truce, he had my head inflated/ Thinkin’ we gon’ finally peace it up and get to levitatin’/ Realize that everything premeditated,” Drake raps.
Ye then made his side of the story known when he attempted to insert himself into Kendrick and Drake’s growing feud in 2024. Ye hopped on an unofficial “Like That” remix dissing Drake, before changing his tune in 2025 and showing support for Drake in the wake of the tumultuous feud.
“I’m never finna call Drake out of his name,” Ye wrote in a tweet. “I’m team Drake, 100%.”
