Young M.A “Thumpers,” Fivio Foreign “Hungry For It” & More | Daily Visuals 11.10.25

Rick Ross Media Mixer

A little before the likes of Cardi B and Ice Spice became the biggest female rappers to come out of New York, it seemed like Young M.A was destined to be crowned the next Queen of NY (alongside Nicki Minaj of course), but has since dealt with personal issues that derailed her career and made way for the aforementioned artists to shine bright under the city lights.

Now that she’s back to her old self, Young M.A is attempting to make a comeback for the ages, and we’re riding with her till the wheels fall off.

Dropping off some new visuals to “Thumpers,” the Brooklyn rapper hits the block with her street team while dripping in ice and shooting some dice to make a little pocket change while collecting some rap royalties. It’s great to see her back on her healthy sh*t.

Keeping the scene in BK, Fivio Foreign is looking to reclaim the top spot of his own, and for his clip to “Hungry For It,” Fivio goes out for a night in the town with his own peep,s where they enjoy some thick talent at the strip club before laying down the track in a makeshift studio in someone’s lab.

Check out the rest of today’s drops and some joints you might’ve missed over the weekend, including work from Skrilla featuring Shawny Binladen, Peezy, and Rick Ross, and more.

Brandy & Monica Welcome Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna & More to The Boy Is Mine L.A. Stop: See Show Photos & Recap Video

Trending on Billboard

“Amazing!” That was just one of the many accolades being shouted out by fans exiting the Kia Forum on Sunday night after Brandy and Monica wrapped a two-night stopover in Inglewood, California, on their co-headlining The Boy Is Mine Tour.

Since launching the highly anticipated 32-date tour in Cincinnati (Oct. 16), Brandy and Monica have been wowing their legion of fans from coast to coast. And L.A. was no exception. The R&B legends gave as good as they got from the elated audience, thanks to their estimable catalogs of hits and fan fave tracks during the sold-out show’s six-act rollout. From Monica’s “Don’t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)” and Brandy’s “I Wanna Be Down” in Act I to their signature duet “The Boy Is Mine” that closes out Act VI — plus more musical touchstones in between, including a tribute to Whitney Houston — the two women indelibly underscored their enduring cultural impact and creative influence.

An additional testament to that has been the revolving cast of star fans and surprise guests appearing at the various tour stops. Among the stars in the audience last night: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Queen Latifah and actress Jenifer Lewis; watch the recap video here. Proving the ladies still love him, LL Cool J had women screaming their lungs out when he hit the stage to perform two songs, including “Luv U Better.” Also turning in surprise performances were O.T. Genasis, Blxst and Mario. The first night of the L.A. whistlestop boasted appearances by Kehlani, Ty Dolla $ign, 50 Cent and Miguel.

Overall, the final night of The Boy Is Mine Tour in L.A. was chock-full of boisterous sing-alongs, rigorous seat-dancing and lively shout-outs. Warming up the L.A. crowd both nights were powerful performances by Jamal Roberts, Muni Long and Kelly Rowland. In addition to her solo hits such as “Dilemma,” “Motivation” and “Like This,” Rowland peppered her segment with several Destiny’s Child numbers like “Bad Habit,” “Independent Women, Part 1” and “Girl” — no doubt leaving fans hoping for a DC reunion tour.

Enhanced by creative staging, eye-catching visuals and an energetic dance crew, The Boy Is Mine Tour next pulls into Charlotte, North Carolina (Nov. 13). Subsequent stops include New York City (Nov. 20), Washington, D.C. (Nov. 30) and Atlanta again (Dec. 4) before completing its run in Jacksonville, Florida (Dec. 14).

Halsey Concertgoer Caught on Video Groping Singer as Outraged Fans Condemn the Violation: ‘There’s No Excuse for This’

Trending on Billboard

Halsey fans at the singer’s recent tour stop in Washington, D.C., witnessed an unbelievable violation against the singer. Halsey was performing at The Anthem on Nov. 4 as part of the Back to Badlands Tour, and in recent days, footage from the show has started to go viral that shows a concertgoer groping the singer before security intervenes.

The New York Post shared the footage, which shows the singer performing “Is There Somewhere” while leaning close to the crowd, as they often do during live performances.

Video captured inside the venue shows a fan placing their hand on Halsey’s thigh, before moving it further beneath her leather skirt. A security guard standing along the barricade shoved the attendee’s hand away, and Halsey continued performing uninterrupted.

One fan account on X wrote, “Respect Halsey and DO NOT touch her or anyone like this without their consent,” while other fans have condemned the action on social media as well. “Have we not learned respect?” one fan responded. “There’s no excuse for this.”

Halsey is deep in the midst of the Back to Badlands Tour, which began in Los Angeles and is scheduled to continue through February. The tour will make numerous stops across the U.S. before heading overseas. Following the D.C. performance, Halsey continued with performances in Minneapolis and Chicago.

The incident is the latest unfortunate event to befall the pop star. Halsey previously experienced a “minor medical emergency” while in Boston last week, which led to a brief stint at Massachusetts General Hospital. They ended up performing as scheduled.

On Monday (Nov. 10), the electronic producer announced that she’s given birth to her second son, writing “Welcome to earth, Ash West.

The post’s comments section is naturally a celebratory space, with fellow electronic artists including Anna Lunoe, TroyBoi, Slander, DJ Dave, Diplo, Mary Droppinz and many more expressing their congrats.

Baby Ash is the first of two very big projects Wonderland is dropping in this time period, as the producer’s fourth studio album, Ghost World, is coming Dec. 5. (While it was originally scheduled for an October release, production delay issues pushed the project to December.)

“I am in a completely different part of my life now,” the artist born Alex Sholler told Billboard when announcing the album in August. “I met and married the love of my life and created another life, aka my baby Max. … I really felt free sonically when making [the 2023 albums Genesis made under the Whyte Fang alias.] I realized going back to my roots musically is the only way for this next Alison Wonderland album to feel genuine. I got rid of all the outside voices; I felt like I was letting people dictate my art and my voice.”

Thus far four singles from Ghost World hve been released, “Again? F–k,” “XTC,” “Psycho,” “Get Started” and “iwannaliveinadream.”

Summer Walker Reveals Chris Brown, GloRilla, 21 Savage, Latto, Sexyy Red & More Features on ‘Finally Over It’ Album

Trending on Billboard

Summer Walker revealed the star-studded list of collaborators on her forthcoming third studio album Finally Over It on Monday (Nov. 10).

She partnered with Spotify on the exclusive two-part announcement, that includes a behind-the-scenes clip from Walker’s “wedding” (as teased in her album artwork) and a reception seating chart graphic of the featured artists, songwriters and producers who worked on Finally Over It, both of which can be found below. Drea Nicole and Lex P, the hosts of the Pour Minds podcast, act as caterers of Walker’s wedding while gossiping about her A-list guests. “Did you see 21 Savage with that plate of beans?… You know he British, chile,” Lex told Drea. Walker has previously collaborated with the British-born, Atlanta-bred rapper four times: a remix of Jhené Aiko’s “Triggered” in 2019, 2020’s “Secret,” Usher’s 2023 hit “Good Good,” and 2024’s “prove it” from 21 Savage’s third studio album American Dream.

Drea wondered if Anderson .Paak would give them his wig vendor because “hair was laid,” she complimented. She also didn’t recognize the guy who was “real tatted up” sitting next to Sexyy Red, but Lex informed her it was Teddy Swims. And both women agreed that Brent Faiyaz‘s “I got too many hoes” line from “Rehab (Winter In Paris)” on his 2020 EP F–k The World couldn’t be more true as he was “flirtin’ with everybody” at the wedding.

Walker previously revealed that Latto was one of the “rap girls” that will be featured on the album, as well as Breezy Bowl XX tourmate Chris Brown, while taking a lie detector test. “Did you collaborate with anyone from Over It again on this album?” the woman conducting the polygraph asked. “Yeah,” Walker answered truthfully. And she meant it: Bryson Tiller, her previous “Playing Games” collaborator, will be reprising his role.

Walker will also reunite with Sailorr on Finally Over It after she hopped on the remix of the rising R&B star’s “Pookie’s Requiem” breakout hit at the top of this year, and GloRilla, who hopped on the remix of Ciara and Walker’s “Better Thangs” in 2022. Sexyy Red will also appear on Finally Over It, two years after Walker was featured on “I Might” from the deluxe edition of Red’s sophomore mixtape Hood Hottest Princess.

Finally Over It will be released on Friday, Nov. 14 via LVRN and Interscope Records. Its lead single “Heart of a Woman” recently earned two 2026 Grammy nominations for best R&B song and best R&B performance.

Kelly Clarkson Recalls Fiery Response to Manager Who Told Her to Get a Boob Job: ‘Why Don’t You Get a Di– Job?’

Trending on Billboard

Kelly Clarkson is ready for the industry to break away from toxic beauty standards — or, at the very least, for people to stop thinking it’s acceptable to tell women what to do with their bodies.

While onstage for one of her Studio Session shows at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas over the weekend, the hitmaker took a moment to make sure her deep V-neck top was covering up everything it needed to, which reminded her of an unpleasant interaction with someone in the music business. “I had some di– manager one time tell me to get a boob job,” she recalled, the shock of the experience returning to her face as if it had just happened in that moment.

“I was like, ‘Why don’t you get a di– job?’” Clarkson continued. “I’m fine with my itty bitty ti–ies, get out of here.”

The vocalist went on to lament how comfortable people in the industry have become when it comes to commenting on the appearances of others. “You’ve normalized crazy,” she said as her audience laughed in agreement. “Everybody out here looking like they’re in The Capitol in Hunger Games … Calm down. Just get old. Be glad — not everybody gets to get old.”

Clarkson has always been real about topics such as body image. Last year, she opened up about taking a drug to help her lose weight after being diagnosed pre-diabetic, noting at the time that she “didn’t see” any issues with her weight until she watched back a tape of one of her performances.

“All of a sudden I paused it, and I was like, ‘Who the f— is that?!’” she recalled in April 2024 on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

The American Idol alum now has just two 2025 shows left in her Studio Sessions residency at the Palace, scheduled for Nov. 14 and 15. After having to cancel residency dates earlier this year following the death of Brandon Blackstock, her ex-husband and the father of her children, she announced new 2026 shows set for July and August.

In September, she kicked off the seventh season of her daytime talk program.

Adin Ross Calls Kendrick Lamar’s Music ‘Horrible,’ Says Drake Saved His Career With Feud: ‘Y’all Know I’m Not Capping!’

Trending on Billboard

During his most recent livestream, Adin Ross criticized Kendrick Lamar‘s music as “ass” and said Drake not only has way better music, but shows more support for his fellow rappers.

On Sunday, the streamer revisited the 2024 beef between The Boy and K-Dot, saying that Drake singlehandedly revived Lamar’s career due to their vitriolic feud.

“Listen to this… 2021 plus, Drake’s killing him,” said Ross, as seen in the clip here. “If it’s 2010 plus, Drake’s killing him. Kendrick’s catalog is horrible, and y’all know I’m not capping. It’s f—ing a–! Nobody listened to Mr. Morale. GNX — Drake saved his miraculous career because he f—ing… ‘Wow, the beef.’ Who gives a sh–?”

Ross also criticized Lamar for his lack of features while hyping up Drizzy’s forthcoming album Iceman.

“Kendrick is a–. He does nothing for any other rappers,” Ross continued. “Doesn’t do verses. He does nothing! He does nothing for rap. Drake, you need a verse: ‘Here you go, guys!’”

The praise should come as no surprise considering how often Ross shows love to Drake and has the 6 God on his livestream.

“I f— with him, bro,” Ross said during a separate stream earlier in November. He then showed off a $330,000 Maybach Drake had allegedly gifted him. “There’s no loyalty left in the world for people like him in the entertainment industry, and I love him. And I’m loyal to him.”

Ross and Drake are currently embroiled in a class-action lawsuit, which accuses the streamer and rapper of promoting the online casino Stake, thereby “glamorizing the platform to millions of impressionable fans.”

Michael Jackson Makes History as First Artist to Score Hot 100 Top 10 Hits in Six Different Decades

Trending on Billboard

Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” strikes like a beast, rising from No. 32 to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated Nov. 15, granting the late King of Pop a new chart longevity record.

With the song, which hit No. 4 on the Hot 100 in 1984, Jackson, who died in 2009, becomes the first artist ever to rank in the top 10 in six distinct decades (the 1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s, ‘10s and now ‘20s).

Jackson surpasses Andy Williams, who died in 2012 and whose history includes placements in the top 10 in five decades (‘50s, ’60s, ’70s, ‘10s and ’20s, extended since 2018 thanks to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”).

Jackson first reached the Hot 100’s top 10 as a soloist in November 1971 with his debut on his own, “Got To Be There.” Jackson boasts 30 top 10s, including 13 No. 1s. Until this week, Jackson, who died in 2009, last ranked in the top 10 as featured on Drake’s “Don’t Matter to Me” in 2018.

Notably, with Jackson, then just 11 years old, as a member, the Jackson 5 spent their first week in the Hot 100’s top 10 on the last chart of the ‘60s, dated Dec. 27, 1969, with their breakthrough hit, “I Want You Back.”

With Halloween kicking off the Oct. 31-Nov. 6 tracking week, “Thriller” drew 14 million official streams (up 57% week-over-week) and 9.3 million in radio airplay audience (up 124%), while selling 3,000 (up 1%) in the United States, according to Luminate.

Additionally, “Thriller” is now Jackson’s sole longest-charting Hot 100 hit: 26 weeks. It one-ups two other classics from his Thriller album, as “Billie Jean” and “Beat It” each spent 25 weeks on the chart beginning in 1983.

Trending on Billboard

Rosalía has surprised fans with the release of her new studio album LUX, an ambitious 18-track set performed in 13 languages and backed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

She gave fans the first taste in late October with the single “Berghain” featuring Björk and Yves Tumor, surprising with her lyrical performance in an operatic soprano voice and ease to toggle from the English to German to Spanish languages. The orchestral masterpiece—which peaked at No. 16 on Hot Rock Alternative Songs; No. 13 on Hot Alternative Songs; No. 22 on Billboard Global 200; and No. 14 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (all dated Nov. 15)—is about a woman tormented by a toxic relationship.

“This album has a completely different sound than any of the projects that I’ve done before,” the Spanish singer-songwriter said in her recent Billboard cover story. “It was a challenge for me to do a more orchestral project and learn how to use an orchestra, understand all the instruments, all the possibilities, and learn and study from amazing composers in history and say, ‘OK, that’s what’s been done. What can I do that feels personal and honest for me?’ And also the challenge of having that inspiration in classical music and trying to do something that I haven’t done before, trying to write songs from another place. Because the instrumentation is different from all the other projects I have done. But also the writing, the structures, it’s very different.”

While LUX is critically acclaimed, many of Rosalía’s loyal and new fans are adapting to her avant-garde project. Below, check out some of the best meme reactions on the internet.

Included in the bunch of plaques is Wu’s debut single, “Protect Ya Neck,” which has gone platinum nearly 33 years after its initial release in December 1992.

The Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 1993 debut is now 4x-platinum and cuts from the project like “C.R.E.A.M.” (4x), “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F Wit” (1x) and “Method Man” (1x) also picked up platinum certifications. While “Bring Da Ruckas” and “Da Mystery of Chessboxin” are now certified gold.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) celebrated its 32nd anniversary on Sunday. The LP reached No. 41 on the Billboard 200.

“C.R.E.A.M.” is the group’s most commercially successful single, with the money-stacking anthem peaking at No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 16 weeks. “Method Man” topped out at No. 69 on the Hot 100 and spent 14 weeks on the chart.

2025 has been a comeback year for the Wu, as the crew wrapped up the North American leg of The Final Chamber tour in July, which grossed $30.6 million, with 245,000 tickets sold, according to Billboard Boxscore.

Wu-Tang Clan will bring their farewell show global as The Final Chamber turns into a world tour next March, when the European leg kicks off on March 2 in Amsterdam.

The Billboard Hip-Hop Hall of Fame crew’s set to make stops in Berlin, Italy, Vienna, Cologne, Paris, Zurich, London and Manchester before heading to Dubai and Australia in March.
