If we know anything about Wiz Khalifa it’s that the man’s love affair with Mary Jane rivals that of Rick James, 90’s Redman, and maybe even Bob Marley, so it should come as no surprise that the Pittsburgh spitter dedicate his latest cut to the love of his life.
Dropping off some new visuals to “So Many Pounds Freestyle,” Wiz Khalifa shows just how faithful he is to Mary Jane as he raps about every which way she’s involved in his life over Tupac’s classic “So Many Tears” instrumental while he flies the friendly skies in a private plane before getting smoked out and performing for his adoring fans. You’d think with a title like that he’d show pounds and pounds of weed, but no, he didn’t. Go figure.
B.G meanwhile keeps his comeback tour going and in his clip to “I Don’t Give A F**k,” the OG Hot Boy stunts from his hotel room to the streets as he styles in a gang of ice and strolls alongside his ride-or-die chick and some guard dogs that look ready for action.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from DJ Paul, Akon and Krayzie Bone, Fredo Bang and Tec, and more.

The guys of Big Time Rush are bringing their Nickelodeon show on the road, with Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson and Carlos PenaVega unveiling plans to perform every song from every episode of their 2010s TV series on a world tour announced Thursday (Feb. 20).
Four years after reuniting in 2021, the In Real Life World Tour will kick off July 9 in Birmingham, Alabama, and see BTR traveling throughout the United States — stopping in Florida, New York, Texas, California and more — through the end of August. In November, the quartet will then take the trek overseas for a month in Europe, setting up shop in Germany, Italy, Spain, France and more before closing out Dec. 14 in Athens.
Also joining the guys as support are Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman, who played Jo and Gustavo on Big Time Rush during the show’s run from 2009 to 2013. More international dates will be announced at a later date.
Trending on Billboard
“We truly have the best fans in the world, and when we sat down to plot this tour we wanted to give them everything they have always asked us for and dreamed of,” Big Time Rush said of the trek in a joint statement. “That’s the reason we are so excited to be going on the road all over the world to play every song from every episode of the TV show. We know how many of our fans hold these songs close to their hearts having first heard so many of them watching our show.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to also be bringing our dear friends from the TV show, Katelyn Tarver and Stephen Kramer Glickman, who we have never gotten the chance to tour with before,” the group added. “We have so many surprises in store for our Rushers for the In Real Life Worldwide tour and can’t wait to see everyone on the road very soon!”
And when Schmidt, Maslow, Henderson and PenaVega say every song from the series, they truly mean every song from the show’s four seasons. That includes deep cuts in addition to Billboard Hot 100 hits such as “Boyfriend” and “Halfway There.” During Big Time Rush‘s run, the foursome dropped three albums: BTR, Elevate and 24/7, all of which charted on the Billboard 200.
Shortly after the show ended, Big Time Rush went on hiatus before coming back together in 2021, taking over the band’s name from Nickelodeon and releasing music of their own. Most recently, the group dropped single “Only One” last summer.

In a new Instagram post, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura-Fine announced that she and her husband Alex Fine are expecting their third child.
The pinned post features five black-and-white photos of Cassie, Alex, and their two daughters, and is simply captioned with a pregnancy emoji, a blue heart, and “#3.”
Cassie, 38, and Alex, 31, were married in 2019 just weeks after announcing that they were engaged and expecting a child together. Their first daughter Frankie was born in 2019 and Sunny followed in 2021. The blue heart on her recent baby announcement suggests that the couple is expecting their first son.
Friends gushed over the announcement in the comments section of the post. Singer Ciara wrote, “Yaaayy!! So beautiful!” while Kim Kardashian commented “congrats!!!” with two white hearts.
The news comes just over one year after Cassie settled a federal lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs where she accused him of rape and abuse. When she announced the lawsuit, the “Me & U” singer said she had remained silent for years but was “finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships.”
In her pregnancy announcement, fans referenced the lawsuit. One wrote, “I love to see women get their happily ever after–esp after going through abuse and trauma. You are deserving of this beautiful life. Thank you for being an example of strength and perseverance. Congrats!”
The lawsuit and settlement sparked a flurry of additional accusations, which landed Combs in federal custody. He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting trial.
