There’s been a new addition to the Shady Crew. Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade Scott has welcomed a son with her husband Evan McClintock.
Elliot Marshall McClintock was born on March 14, 2025, and his proud mom recently shared his first public photo, writing, “happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e 🤍,” Scott said.
The baby’s middle name is an ode to her father, whose real name is Marshall Mathers.
Little Elliot is the Grammy Award-winning rapper’s first grandchild.
In a music video last year, for his song, “Temporary,” the rapper shared some rarely seen home movies in tribute to his daughter, and at the end, Hailie presented him with a Detroit Lions jersey with “Grandpa” embroidered across the back. The 52-year-old rapper’s jaw dropped and his eyes teared up at the announcement.
Scott, 29, hosts a podcast called “Just a Little Shady,” recently shared on her show her excitement about becoming a mother. “It’s so weird to think about… I can’t even wrap my head around it,” Scott said, according to People Magazine. “I have to meet this human that I’ve created. What’s he gonna look like? What’s he gonna … what’s his personality gonna be [like]? It’s strange but super exciting.”
Eminem has famously written numerous songs in celebration of his daughter. Songs like “Just the Two of Us,” and “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” have featured her voice. She and her husband met while attending Michigan State University, where she majored in psychology. She is currently an influencer and on the fourth season of her popular podcast.

“Love Me Not” hits the Hot 100 nearly a year after its release after going viral on TikTok. The song picked up steam on the platform in January after users began making mashups of it with Solange’s “Losing You.” TikTokers also checked out the original “Love Me Not,” which has now soundtracked over 320,000 clips on the platform to date.
“Love Me Not” is also growing globally, rising 135-95 on the latest Billboard Global 200 chart and 200-149 on Global Excl. U.S.
“Love Me Not” was produced by DJ DaHi, Craig Balmoris and Ritz Reynolds. It earns DJ DaHi his 25th production credit on the Hot 100. He first charted via Drake’s “Worst Behavior” in 2013 and has since produced hits by acts including Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Big Sean, 21 Savage and J. Cole. Two of his entries have reached the top 10: Lamar, BLXST and Amanda Reifer’s “Die Hard” (No. 5 peak, 2022) and Lamar’s “Wacced Out Murals” (No. 4, 2024).
Balmoris adds his sixth production credit on the Hot 100 with “Love Me Not,” following four recorded by Lamar (including “Wacced Out Murals” and the No. 9-peaking “Man at the Garden” last year) and one by Hozier (“Empire Now,” 2024). Ritz Reynolds scores his first production billing on the chart.
Lenae first appeared on Billboard’s charts nearly two and a half years ago with “Skin Tight,” featuring Stevy Lacy. The track debuted on Adult R&B Airplay in November 2022 and climbed to No. 1 the following May, becoming her first leader on any list. It also reached No. 21 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. She also posted her first entry on Hot R&B Songs last August with the No. 21-peaking “One Wish,” featuring Childish Gambino.

Authorities have launched extensive search and rescue efforts, with more than 100 individuals transported to hospitals across the city as emergency teams continue working to locate survivors beneath the rubble.
“We presume that many of them are still alive, and that is why the authorities here will not give up until not a single person remains under that rubble,” said Juan Manuel Méndez, director of the Center of Emergency Operations.
Among the injured is merengue singer Rubby Pérez, who was performing when the roof collapsed, officials said.

President Luis Abinader wrote on X that all rescue agencies are “working tirelessly” to help those affected.
“We deeply regret the tragedy that occurred at the Jet Set nightclub. We have been following the incident minute by minute since it occurred,” he wrote.
Abinader arrived at the scene and hugged those looking for friends and family, some with tears streaming down their faces. He did not speak to reporters.
An official with a megaphone stood outside the club imploring the large crowd that had gathered to search for friends and relatives to give ambulances space.
“You have to cooperate with authorities, please,” he said. “We are removing people.”
At one hospital where the injured were taken, an official stood outside reading aloud the names of survivors as a crowd gathered around her and yelled out the names of their loved ones.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the roof to collapse.
This is a developing story.

Dominican hitmaker Natti Natasha will be honored with the Unstoppable Artist Award, a nod to her sustained influence in the music industry. Natti initially burst onto the Billboard charts when she earned her first No. 1 in 2012 as a featured artist on Don Omar’s hit “Dutty Love.” Since then, she has amassed 34 career entries on the overall Latin Airplay ranking, including 17 top 10 hits, 10 of which soared to No. 1.
On the album front, her debut studio project, Iluminatti, reached new heights in 2019, breaking into the top 10 on both the Top Latin Albums and Latin Rhythm Albums charts, with a peak at No. 3. More recently, her LP Natti Natasha en Amargue, produced by Romeo Santos, earned her a top 10 debut on the Tropical Albums chart.
Sister-duo Ha*Ash, comprised of Hanna and Ashley, will receive the Unbreakable Award, celebrating the collaboration between Latin women artists who have made an indelible impact on the music industry. Honored for their resilience, innovation and empowerment, Ha*Ash made an impressive debut in 2004, scoring their first top 10 hit on Latin Pop Airplay with “Estés Donde Estés,” which peaked at No. 9.
Over the years, they have proven their staying power, accumulating a total of 16 entries on the chart, four of which reached the top 10. The sisters recently made a notable comeback with “El Cielo Te Mandó Para Mí,” a standout track from Haashville, which reached a No. 7 high on Latin Pop Airplay. Currently, the duo is on their Haashville Tour across the U.S. and Canada
Meanwhile, Belinda is set to be honored with the Evolution Award, a special honor that recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional growth, transformation, and innovation throughout their artistic journey, and an enduring impact and commitment to evolving their vision and voice. Belinda’s self-titled debut album catapulted her into the spotlight in 2003, earning her a first top 10 entry on a Billboard chart as the set reached a high of No. 6 on the Latin Pop Albums tally.
Since then, she’s had three additional top 10 albums, including Catarsis, which peaked at No. 2 in 2013. Showcasing versatility, Belinda has most recently dabbled in regional Mexican music, specifically in corridos bélicos, collaborating with the likes of Natanael Cano, Tito Double P and Netón Vega.
As previously announced, Anitta will receive the Vanguard Award, Chiquis the Impact Award and Olga Tañón will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, with the remaining honors to be announced soon.

With 42 contestants still vying for just 20 remaining spots in the Top 24, the singers faced an overnight duet challenge that tested their stamina, chemistry, and vocal control.
Jelly Roll, who has become one of country music’s biggest breakout stars, didn’t just coach from the sidelines — he helped elevate the emotional stakes of the episode. After contestants Breanna Nix and Rylie O’Neill bonded over their shared experiences as mothers and performed Brandon Lake’s Christian worship anthem “Gratitude,” Jelly Roll paused the judges’ feedback to surprise them with a live FaceTime call from the songwriter himself.
Trending on Billboard
“That was the most gorgeous version of ‘Gratitude’ I’ve ever heard,” Lake said.
Carrie Underwood, visibly moved, praised both women. “I know how difficult it is to come into the entertainment industry and bring your faith with you. It is a brave thing to do… I want to tell you that I’m proud of you guys.”
Only one could move forward, and while both performances struck a chord, the judges advanced Breanna Nix into the Top 24, prompting her to collapse to the stage in tears.
Elsewhere, controversy stirred as Baylee Littrell — son of Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell — advanced despite a shaky performance alongside standout vocalist Keilene. While Keilene delivered a powerful version of “Shallow,” the judges focused on Baylee’s ability to perform with a partner.
“It was not a unanimous decision,” Underwood warned him. “So moving forward, I need you to step it up.”
The final Top 24 includes Thunderstorm Artis, Ché, Breanna Nix, Slater Nalley, Olivier Bergeron, and more. Their next stop? Hawaii’s Aulani Resort, with performances airing April 13 and 14 on ABC.
Speaking to Billboard during a recent sit-down interview, Jelly Roll said, “Hollywood Week is even more chaotic than what you see on TV. The episodes are pretty chaotic, but the camera can’t catch all of the chaos.“
“I love it because it reminds me of the music business. It’s real. They’re not hazing these kids. This is stuff that happens in our business all the time. I can’t wait for the world to see this – the show brings me in when the kids are picking their head-to-head songs, so I am in the trenches with these babies. I watch them pick their songs. I give them advice and I catch them picking their partners. Some of them probably picked the wrong partner,” he shared.
