On Oct. 4, the Boulet Brothers will release The Boulet Brothers Halloween House Party via PEG Records. The seasonal six-track EP finds Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet combining their love of Halloween and horror with the retro musical sounds of ‘60s pop, surf music and psychobilly – with a modern twist, naturally. The first taste of the project, “All Hallows’ Eve,” is out now.
“We are both obsessed with classic vintage Halloween decorations, sets, costumes, parties, music, etc., and this EP is our love letter to all that gory goodness,” says the duo.

A couple years ago, the Boulet Brothers broke down their 10 favorite horror movie soundtracks of all time for Billboard – and naturally, John Carpenter’s Halloween score was one of them.
“Growing up, it was the first horror soundtrack that invaded my brain. It was instantly recognizable, but it was bone-chilling. There was something about those high-pitched piano notes: It was so simple and so easy to get stuck in your brain and terrifying at the same time,” said Drac Boulet.
“It has one of those magical qualities,” Swan Boulet told us. “When I hear that classic theme from Halloween, it transports me back to trick or treating, the season of the fall, everything about Halloween that I love.”
The Boulet Brothers Halloween House Party EP arrives just a few days after the season six premiere (Oct. 1) of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula on AMC+/Shudder. Check out the tracklist below.

While former President Donald Trump’s amplification of false claims during Tuesday’s presidential debate that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH are “eating dogs… eating the cats” have been widely debunked and endlessly mocked on social media, Wyclef Jean says it’s not funny and we need to keep our eyes on what’s important in November’s election.
The rapper/producer who was born in Haiti and emigrated to Brooklyn as a child told TMZ on Thursday (Sept. 12) that America’s historic embrace of immigrants is the nation’s “greatest asset.” Though he avoiding the repetition of the rumor spread by Trump and his VP pick, Ohio native JD Vance — which the state’s Republican Governor has said is without merit — ‘Clef stressed that we should all be taking this fall’s vote seriously.
“I will be forever grateful for my family’s life, for having a fair chance to live what is called the ‘American Dream,’” said Wyclef, who posted the TMZ chat on his X feed. “One of our greatest assets in America is that we are a country of immigrants. I speak from the heart when I say, Haitian people living in the U.S. are good neighbors and good people. We care about humanity. We care about our neighbors.”
Trump made the fallacious claim during his first, and seemingly, only debate with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris this week in a moment that instantly became fodder for ridicule and contempt on late night shows and social media. Wyclef, who has long been a proud supporter of his native country, urged his fellow Americans to stop spreading the dangerous rumors.
“On behalf of Haitian Americans, I ask that we stop these racist messages and accusations. Put our hands out in peace and say thanks for being my neighbor,” Wyclef said. “We need to respect one another and vote based on policies and facts, not crazy talk. And we need to shake hands with one another and be thankful we are part of an America for all.”
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine dismissed Trump’s claims in a CBS interview on Wednesday, brushing aside the fake news that first popped up on right-wing social media feeds before being amplified by Vance and other Republicans. “This is something that came up on the internet and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes,” DeWine said, noting that the city’s mayor has confirmed that there is no credible evidence to support the cat- and dog-eating claims.
The rumors appear to have started following an incident in nearby Canton, OH in which a woman was arrested for killing and eating a cat, then further boosted by a photo of a person holding a dead goose that some on social media claimed was of a Haitian resident of Springfield. The video taken in Canton depicts a woman who is not Haitian being arrested for cruelty to companion animals; after being charged with the fifth-degree felony the woman plead not guilty by reason of insanity. The images were picked up and widely distributed by white supremacists, as well as X boss Elon Music and Vance, who has a home 45 minutes away from Springfield in neighboring Cincinnati, OH.
“I think we go with what the mayor says. He knows the city,” DeWine said of the town that has seen a major influx of 12,000-15,000 Haitian immigrants over the past few years that has strained city services, but who the Governor said have filled jobs in the city and work “very, very hard.”
While DeWine did not go so far as to say that the amplification of the rumor that started on a Springfield Facebook group were endangering the city’s Haitian population, U.S. National Security spokesperson John Kirby did deem Vance and Trump’s comments “dangerous.” The racist trope claiming immigrants cook and serve household pets has been used to demean and ostracize migrants for more than a century. In the midst of his third run for the White House, convicted felon Trump, 78 has continued to double-down on the debunked animal-eating claim in appearances this week.
In comments on Tuesday, Kirby said, “What’s deeply concerning to us is you’ve got now elected officials in the Republican Party pushing, you know, yet another conspiracy theory that’s just seeking to divide people based on lies and, let’s be honest, based on an element of racism. This kind of language, this kind of disinformation, is dangerous because there will be people that believe it, no matter how ludicrous and stupid it is, and they might act on that kind of information and act on it in a way where somebody could get hurt. So it needs to stop.”
Singer, activist and Springfield native John Legend also weighed in on the danger of spreading such hurtful lies in a video posted on his Instagram in which he touched on the rush of Haitian immigrants who’ve moved to his hometown to escape the political turmoil in their native country.
“I think all of us need to have the same kind of grace that we would want our ancestors to have when they moved here with our Haitian brothers and sisters who moved here too,” Legend said in a video posted on Thursday. “And nobody’s eating cats. Nobody’s eating dogs. We all just want to live and flourish and raise our families in a healthy and safe environment. How about we love one another?”
Legend noted that he grew up in the Christian tradition that encourages everyone to “love our neighbor as we love ourselves and treat strangers as though they might be Christ. So how about we adopt that ethos when we talk about immigrants moving to our communities and don’t spread hateful, xenophobic, racist lies about them?”
According to the Huffington Post, Springfield City Hall and other downtown buildings received bomb threats prompting an evacuation on Thursday, with Mayor Rob Rue saying that the threat featured “hateful language” aimed at Haitians and immigrants. In addition, the president of the city’s nonprofit Haitian Community Help and Support Center told NBC News that the recent hateful attention on the city’s Haitian population has them “scared for their lives,” with some residents keeping their children home from school out of fear.

Nearly two years after forming and roughly 10 months after arriving in Los Angeles to record their debut album, as1one — the pop group made up of six Israeli and Palestinian musicians — have released their debut single.
“All Eyes on Us” is a collaboration with music legend Nile Rodgers that showcases the group’s tight harmonies and high energy. Watch the peppy, poppy, sun-soaked music video for the song, featuring an appearance from Rodgers on guitar, exclusively below.

The song and video come in tandem with the news that as1one has signed with Nashville’s Thirty Tigers, an independent label services company that provides marketing, distribution and publishing services.
Trending on Billboard
“Thirty Tigers was a critical decision for as1one,” the group’s founders James Diener and Ken Levitan tell Billboard in a joint statement. “A real consideration was that Thirty Tigers is renowned as a home for career artistry. Their roster – as musically diverse that it is – always represents a commitment to true artists. That is essential to us, for as1one to be acknowledged in similar light and privileged to be in such creative company. Thirty Tigers gives us all the support that we need. Moreover, their passion and commitment to as1one is the invaluable service that can’t be replicated elsewhere. We’re so pleased to be working together.”
Diener and Levitan brought as1one together after an extensive search, working with Israeli and Palestinian casting directors to hold auditions in cities and villages throughout Israel in 2021. The intention wasn’t necessarily to bring Israelis and Palestinians together in the same group, but that’s what happened as the talent pool was narrowed down to the six who made it in.
The group is composed of Ohad Attia, a Jewish Israeli from Tel Aviv; Sadik Dogosh, a Palestinian Bedouin Muslim from Rahat; Palestinian Christian Aseel Farah from Haifa; Niv Lin, a Jewish Israeli from a desert town in southern Israel; Jewish Israeli Nadav Philips; and Neta Rozenblat, a Jewish Israeli from Tel Aviv.
The guys arrived in Los Angeles from Israel to work on their debut album on Oct. 6, 2023, getting news of the Oct. 7 attack in Israel on their first night in L.A. As1one has since made music in L.A. while the war has continued in Gaza, with a documentary crew capturing this and other parts of their story for a five-episode docuseries coming later this year on Paramount+.

“It’s been an emotional roller coaster,” Philips says of the group’s trajectory. “I’m so excited about our first single, ‘All Eyes on Us,’ but also how we formed into one big family this past year. We’ve been through a lot together and our bond is stronger than ever.
“I really hope that the world will embrace it and see the good in it,” he adds. “After all, we are really here to make music that can bring people together. This is what it’s all about. This is what we came to do.”
The group will release its second single later this year, around the release of the docuseries. Diener and Levitan say to expect “much more music” in early 2025. The founders add that current events as they relate to the war “are not a factor in our single release plan; as1one are focused on their music. However, as1one and their songs will hopefully be a natural inspiration in current times.”
The group has been working with not only Rodgers, but producers and songwriters including Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk, who together have credits on mega-hits like BTS’ “Butter” and “Permission to Dance,” along with Danja (Nelly Furtado’s “Say It Right,” Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack,” Britney Spears’ “Gimme More”), Justin Tranter (a go-to co-writer for Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons) and Y2K (Doja Cat’s “Attention”).
“The last 10 months living in LA have been intense,” says Farah. “We’ve been working on new music that we’re really excited about that has brought us together as a band like never before.” But naturally, alongside the excitement about the group, Rozenblat says “it’s been hard with the conflict back home. We’ve lost friends and have been grieving for the victims caught in this war. We’re really lucky we have each other for support.”
“It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, with moments of both happiness and sadness,” adds Lin. “But the most important thing we’ve learned is how to stay together as one.”
“We are here to make music and unite people,” says Attia. “It doesn’t matter where you are from, what your background is or your beliefs are. We can like the same music and get joy from the same song. We can hug each other, and experience the same emotions. That’s what makes us human. We’re here to show people we’re still together even though we can be different.”
Lil Wayne has broken his silence about not being tapped to perform at the halftime show at the 2025 Super Bowl in his hometown a week after the NFL announced that Los Angeles native Kendrick Lamar will do the honors. In an Instagram post on Friday (Sept. 13), a serious-sounding explained why it took him a minute to speak out about the booking that “broke” him, while expressing gratitude for the friends and peers who’ve expressed support and questioned why Tunechi was passed over.
“First of all, I want to say forgive me for the delay. I had to get strength enough to do this without breaking,” said a somber, clearly dispirited Wayne. “I’mma say thank you to every voice, every opinion, all the care, all love and support out there. Your words turned into arms and held me up when I tried to fall back.”
Trending on Billboard
Wayne, seated on a couch and dressed in a red, white and blue track jacket and red shorts, got super vulnerable about how the news hit him. “That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot,” he said haltingly. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown. And for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blame myself for that. But I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot.”
The pain and vulnerability clearly etched on his face, Weezy bounced from distress to gratitude for all the people who held him up after the news broke. “But y’all are f–king amazing. It made me feel like s–t not getting this opportunity and when I felt like s–t, you guys reminded me that I ain’t s–t without y’all… and that’s an amazing reality,” added the 41-year-old MC who has been repping his city for three decades.
“So, like I said, it broke me and I’m just trying to put me back together,” he continued. “But my God, have you all helped me. Thanks to all of my peers, my friends, my family, my homies on the sports television and everybody repping me. I really appreciate that, I really do. I feel like I let all of y’all all of y’all down by not getting that opportunity, but I’m working on me and I’m working. So thank you.”
Back in February, mega sports fan Wayne openly admitted that he coveted the halftime slot during what is typically the most-watched TV event of the year. “I will not lie to you, I have not got a call,” he said on YG’s 4Hunnid podcast. “But we all praying, we keeping our fingers crossed. I’m working hard. I’m going to make sure this next album and everything I do is killer, so I’m going make it very hard for them to … I want to just make it hard for them not to highlight the boy.”
Since the new about K-Dot broke, a number of fellow rappers have come to Wayne’s defense over what they saw as a snub of the MC whose name is synonymous with the Crescent City. Among the supporters was Lamar’s chief rival Drake, who posted a series of photos of his mentor on Instagram on Tuesday, seemingly lining up behind Weezy without offering any context for his post. Other fellow Young Money/Cash Money family members including Nicki Minaj and Birdman have also spoken up about the perceived slight.
“Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good,” Minaj tweeted. New Orleans native and No Limit Records boss Master P also spoke out in support of Wayne, as did Cam’ron and Mase, with Cam calling the pass-over “egregious.”
After a dry-run sharing the stage with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent during the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show in Los Angeles, Grammy- and Pulitzer Prize-winner Lamar will do the honors at Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. 2025; at press time no additional guests had been announced for next year’s halftime show and Lamar had not responded to the backlash about to the Lil Wayne brush-off complaints.

Lady Gaga recently responded to an old Facebook group created by some of her ex-classmates, who mocked her dreams of stardom several years ago.
Gaga briefly attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before leaving in 2005 to pursue a music career. At the time, she had just started performing under her now-iconic stage name, and word of her performances spread quickly among her peers, leading to the creation of the Facebook group titled “Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.”
Members of the group reportedly ridiculed her dreams of becoming famous, mocking her performances and aspirations.

Now, a TikTok post that has gone viral, screenshots of the now-deleted Facebook group were shown, followed by a list of Gaga’s numerous accolades, including her 13 Grammy wins, an Oscar, and a long list of other prestigious awards.
Trending on Billboard
The “Die With a Smile” singer herself commented on the video, addressing the hate she experienced during her early years: “Some people I went to college [with] made this way back when. This is why you can’t give up when people doubt you or put you down—gotta keep going.”
Gaga’s journey to fame wasn’t an overnight success.
After leaving college, she began playing small gigs around New York City under the stage name Lady Gaga. Little did her classmates know, she’d go on to release The Fame just a few years later in 2008, with hits like “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” dominating the Billboard charts.
In 2016, one of her former classmates, Lauren Bohn, shared her memories of the Facebook group, recalling how the members would belittle Gaga’s ambitions and even trample on flyers for her shows.
“I also remember one dude posting a flyer for one of her upcoming gigs at a local village bar. He had clearly stomped on the flyer, an outline of his muddy [sole] struggling to eclipse her name,” Bohn wrote, praising Gaga for sticking to her dreams and breaking through despite the negativity.
Since those early days, Gaga has become one of the most decorated artists in the world. She’s won 13 Grammy Awards, including a Grammy for her A Star Is Born anthem “Shallow,” which also earned her an Oscar.
She’s landed five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and multiple No. 1 albums, including Born This Way and Chromatica. Her latest track with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” also scored the No. 1 spot on Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.
And let’s not forget that she was also named Woman of the Year at Billboard Women in Music 2015.

Carti surprised fans when rumors began circulating about a single potentially arriving. Shortly after being posted to YouTube, “All Red” indeed made its way onto DSPs.
“THIS 1 FOR YAL, I CANT LIE,” Carti wrote on his Opium label’s Instagram page.
The Atlanta rapper reconnects with frequent collaborator F1lthy, who provides the chaotic production. “Upside-down cross tat’ on my neck, shut ’em up, uh/ The Bentley is parked outside, my vibe tryna go for a ride/ I put VETEMENTS right on her thighs, I put the mask on ’cause I be fried,” he raps.

Carti is no stranger to mixing up his vocals and he dropped the pitch of his voice once again here. Some compared his flow on “All Red” to sounding similar to Future. “Playboi Carti was definitely inspired by Future on “ALL RED” crazy how much influence Future has on all these rappers,” one fan wrote.
Another said: “All jokes aside that new Carti sound like future.”
There are finally some signals of Playboi Carti’s much-delayed I Am Music album being on the horizon. He posted various vinyl covers for the project to his Instagram and directed fans to his website.
Carti’s webstore is selling digital albums along with merchandise bundles, but there’s no release date and it’s only promised to arrive before October 2025.
PBC t-shirt bundles are available for $50 while pre-orders for the I Am Music hat and hoodie bundles are on sale for $65 and $100 plus fees, respectively.
“All Red” is Carti’s first streaming release since 2020’s Whole Lotta Red. Although he’s released a handle of singles to his YouTube page in the last year such as “Backr00ms” with Travis Scott, “2024,” “Evil J0rdan,” “Ketamine,” “H00dbyair” and “Different Day.”
Playboi Carti was honored at Billboard‘s 2024 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event in NYC last week with the artist of the year award.
He made a rare public appearance to accept the accolade. “I wanna thank my momma, I wanna thank God,” he began his speech. “Thank you Billboard — this my first award. Very happy to be here. R.I.P. Rich Homie Quan. ATL in the building. Shout-out to the whole New York. I love y’all. Thank you.”

Usher brought out Big Sean two-thirds of the way into the concert, during “Superstar” — which the latter samples on “Who You Are (Superstar),” a track from his just-released sixth studio album Better Me Than You.
“If we’re gonna come to Detroit we gotta make sure to shout out all the legends,” Usher told the crowd before introducing Big Sean, who spit out some lines from his track followed by his 2015 single “Blessings” as he and Usher waded into the crowd to walk to a second stage at the rear of the arena floor, which was decked out like a strip club, complete with a pole dancer and a bar.
Trending on Billboard
“Big Sean, I don’t mind you taking over the stage, but I gotta make a drink,” Usher said as he got behind the bar, mixing drinks for VIP fans in the area. Big Sean then took over with a rapid-fire mini-set that included portions of “So Good,” “A$$,” “Bounce” Back” and “I Don’t Fuck With You.”
He also told the crowd that Usher had accompanied him to the downtown Detroit Boys and Girls Club earlier in the day to inspect the facility, including its recording studio. Thanking Usher for allowing him to sample “Superstar,” he noted that “me and Usher haven’t done a song together. We made a promise we’re gonna do a song together,” although he did not say when, and even if, that might happen.”
Big Sean did get in a plug for Better Me Than You before heading off and leaving the rest of the show to Usher — who will be back at Little Caesars Arena on Friday, Sept. 13.
It was the latest major performance for Big Sean in his home town this year. He performed on the opening night of the National Football League draft in April and was part of the nationally televised opening concert for the newly renovated Michigan Central, the city’s former railway station, in June. He was performing earlier Thursday evening for a private show at a nearby nightclub, and on Monday, Sept. 16, he’ll be performing “a very special acoustic you” sponsored by Amazon Music at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Usher — who performed the halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on Feb. 11 — kicked of the Past Present Future tour on Aug. 20 in Washington, D.C. and wrap up the North American leg with rescheduled concerts in his home town of Atlanta during December.
