Beneficiaries of Help on the Way LA include the Pasadena Boys & Girls Club, which is providing support to children who lost their schools and homes, and Sweet Relief, which is working to aid musicians who lost their homes and instruments.
“As many of you know, our neighborhood was nearly destroyed by the Eaton fire. My son’s school burned, and countless friends lost their homes and surrounding community. In the midst of the madness, I decided to reach out to friends in the music community to raise some money and help those in need,” Krasno said in a press statement.
Paige Anderson, founder of Song Summit Foundation, added, “We believe in the power of music to bring people together, heal, and create real impact. The devastation caused by the LA fires has left so many in need, and as a foundation dedicated to using music for wellness and community support, we feel compelled to act. This benefit concert and auction will not only raise critical funds for those affected but also serve as a reminder of the strength and resilience that music can inspire in times of crisis.”
Fans can donate via Fandiem here for a chance to win prizes and experiences from artists including signed guitars from Anastasio, Matthews, Fleetwood, Mayer, Brown, Judd and more; a signed print from Phish’s Mike Gordon; a signed photo from Bob Weir and much more.
More prizes will be announced in the coming weeks.

If Dipset fans thought that the drama between Cam’ron and Jim Jones would blow over and the two would hash out their differences and rap kumbaya anytime soon, think again.
Days after Jim Jones challenged Killa Cam to a $10 million boxing match and accused Cam of backdooring some money made from their infamous loss to The Lox at the legendary Verzuz battle of 2021, Cam is clapping back with his side of the story and claiming that Jim didn’t even want to get paid for their lackluster performance (no shots). During his Breakfast Club interview, Jones claimed that Cam did some “sucka” sh*t by taking money off the top for himself and not splitting it with his fellow Dipset members.
Taking to Instagram to respond to Jones, Cam’ron didn’t necessarily deny the claim but instead said that he basically did Jim Jones a favor by even agreeing to do the Verzuz with The Lox; Jones said he’d do it for free if need be, as this was something that was on his “bucket list.”
In a lengthy caption breaking down what Jones was referring to, Cam’ron wrote, “I don’t pay half the shit niggas say no mind. But you know I keep the files. You wanted to do versus for free nigga. So if you made a dollar be happy. Talking bout it was on ya bucket list 🙄.. stop tryna re-write history. Now u got a [loss] in the garden and the Barclays 😂😂”
Yeah, these men aren’t squashing anything anytime soon.
Continuing to taunt Jones for accusing Cam’ron of shady business dealings, Cam continued with another paragraph saying, “And ya niggas ain’t eating unless they came with they own bread. The boy @sugadugga_ent got more money than you. And let’s bet 10M’s on that. Go get handsome a car a crib in jersey something 🤦🏾♂️”
Cam’ron out here saying he got receipts of Jim saying he’d perform for free. We all know Cam be keeping all his old phones with texts and messages. Hopefully this doesn’t get too out of hand, as Cam ended his post with “I’m done..FO NOW.”
While we hate to see two old friends get successful in the rap game just to become enemies over money, these two are hella entertaining whenever they bump heads. Still, we hope they eventually get over their beef and reunite on a record at some point.
What do y’all think about Cam’ron’s response to Jim Jones backdooring allegation? Fair or foul? Let us know in the comments section below.

The Daily Show’s host Jon Stewart called out Elon Musk for proposing to sit down for an interview with him and backing out.
On Monday night’s (March 3) episode of The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart kicked the show off with a quip about injuring his finger the week before while critiquing tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for cost-cutting attempts and wreaking havoc on the federal government. That led to Musk announcing in a post on X, formerly Twitter,
that he’d come on the Comedy Central show on one condition. “I will do it if it airs unedited.” Stewart quickly accepted. “Sure, we’d be delighted – as a matter of fact, let me sweeten the pot. The interview can be 15 minutes, it can be an hour, two hours,” he began before quipping, “’ll be honest, I don’t think this network makes any other programming, so we can do whatever the f—k we want as long as we wrap before the new season of ‘South Park,’ which comes out like May or June of 2026.”
But Stewart then mentioned seeing Musk’s follow-up posts on X where he attacked Stewart as being “very far left” and a “propagandist”, highlighting them as he spoke on-air, concluding with Musk’s stating that he was “not bipartisan”. That led Stewart to fire back, “Again – the guy who custom-made his own dark MAGA hat that he wears to opine in the Oval Office with the president who he spent $270 million to elect thinks I’m just too partisan.” Stewart wasn’t done with his skewering of Musk. “I’m really not sure what he thinks “bipartisan” means, but it’s generally not, but it’s generally not, I support Donald Trump and also Germany’s AFD party That’s not bipartisan. That’s just the same s–t.”
The host stated that he does support more efforts toward government efficiency and that he has serious critiques of DOGE but isn’t interested in playing games. “If you want to come on and talk about it on the show, great. If you don’t want to, sure,” he said. “But can we just drop the pretense that you won’t do it because I don’t measure up to the standards of neutral discourse that you demand and display at all times? Because, quite frankly, that’s bull–t. You know it. I know it. Bull–t.”

She also wore her hair up to complement the look.Source: Taylor Hill / Getty
Speaking about her look on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet she said, “I just really wanted to give like ‘she’s baring it all at Vanity Fair.”
“She’s definitely giving Poison Ivy,” she continued.
While the hotties were here for the look, Megan Thee Stallion’s dress definitely garnered plenty of negative reactions.
“Gorgeous woman but this pasty looks like she went right on Amazon and bought it the night before. Same with when Nicki did it years ago. Lil Kim did it best: hers felt like a part of the outfit and not an accessory,” one user on X, formerly Twitter said.
Another user on X wrote, “this could’ve been executed way better, a chop sista.”
Damn.

A federal judge is refusing to allow Universal Music Group (UMG) to delay the start of Drake’s defamation lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” — a decision that came after Drake’s lawyers filed court documents complaining about Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show.
In a decision issued Tuesday (Mar. 4), Judge Jeannette Vargas denied UMG’s bid to postpone an initial hearing set for next month. The judge said that if UMG wants to push back the case — which claims “Not Like Us” defamed Drake by calling him a pedophile — it can argue for that request at the April hearing.
The procedural ruling came after Drake’s attorneys warned that further delays to the lawsuit would be unfair to their client, who they say is facing ongoing harm as the case works through the courts. In doing so, they cited one eye-catching piece of evidence: Lamar’s Super Bowl show.
Trending on Billboard
“Delaying discovery would unfairly prejudice plaintiff, who is continuing to suffer the consequences of UMG’s defamatory campaign,” Drake’s lawyers wrote. “At the same time UMG has been delaying here, UMG launched new campaigns to further spread the defamatory content, including at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, which had over 133.5 million viewers.”
Drake’s motion, filed last week, was the lawsuit’s first reference to the halftime show, in which Lamar avoided saying the word “pedophile” but otherwise directly attacked his rival. Since the Super Bowl, industry watchers have speculated over whether Lamar’s performance might spark additional legal claims or be used as fresh legal ammo by Drake’s legal team.
Lamar released “Not Like Us” last May amid a high-profile beef with Drake that saw the two stars exchange stinging diss tracks. The song, a knock-out punch that blasted Drake as a “certified pedophile” over an infectious beat, eventually became a chart-topping hit in its own right.
In January, Drake sued UMG over “Not Like Us,” claiming the label had defamed him by boosting the track’s popularity. The lawsuit, which doesn’t name Lamar himself as a defendant, claims that UMG “waged a campaign” against its own artist to spread a “malicious narrative” about pedophilia that it knew to be false.
UMG has strongly denied the lawsuit’s allegations, saying that it would be “illogical” for the company to conspire against one of its own artists in whom it had made a “massive” investment.
“We have not and do not engage in defamation—against any individual,” UMG said in its statement. “At the same time, we will vigorously defend this litigation to protect our people and our reputation, as well as any artist who might directly or indirectly become a frivolous litigation target for having done nothing more that write a song.”
In the lead up the Super Bowl, it was unclear if Lamar would play the song under a cloud of looming litigation. But when he took the stage on Feb. 9, he mocked the lawsuit and rapped the song’s key lyrical insults, including the line, “say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young.”
In a motion last month, UMG’s attorneys asked Judge Vargas to postpone the April hearing, arguing that the company would soon move to dismiss the case and that any exchanges of evidence (known as discovery) would be “premature” if the case were going to be tossed out entirely.
Drake’s lawyers quickly responded, claiming UMG was unfairly trying to halt the case without actually asking the judge: “UMG has neither moved to dismiss nor moved for a stay of discovery, and its attempt to achieve the latter by delaying the former are inappropriate.”
On Tuesday, Judge Vargas sided with Drake’s team, saying that it is “not the practice of this Court to routinely stay discovery pending the outcome of a motion to dismiss.” She said that UMG can seek to postpone discovery at the hearing, which is now set for April 2.

One night during the last week in February, a crowd of fans wrapped in Ukrainian flags gathered in front of the 4,200-capacity Tempodrom in Berlin to shop for keyrings and souvenirs with Ukrainian emblems and pose for pictures with a person dressed up as a dog that has become a symbol of the country’s war effort. Inside, before the band Okean Elzy took the stage, fans spontaneously sang part of the Ukrainian national anthem, which at least three-quarters of the people there seemed to recognize.
Okean Elzy (pronounced so it sounds like a duo of “Okee and Elzee”) has been one of the most popular acts in Ukraine for more than two decades, and in the three years since Russia invaded the country, both it and frontman Sviatoslav Vakarchuk have become symbols of its cause. As that cause becomes more urgent — and as the number of Ukrainian refugees who live elsewhere grows — the band’s music is also starting to resonate more outside its home market.
Trending on Billboard
Last year, the band released its first English-language album — the obvious but inexact musical comparison is Coldplay — and signed a global deal with Warner Music Group to expand its audience internationally. Now Vakarchuk, who goes by Slava, is using his stature as a popular musician to raise awareness of his country’s plight, without getting trapped in a morass of specific politics. In pop music terms, he is more akin to the Bono of 1983 — the white-flag-waving moral crusader for peace — than the Bono of 2003 who took meetings with lawmakers.
One of his goals is to show the West another side of the country they are supporting. “I don’t want Ukraine only to be associated with news from the frontline,” Vakarchuk says over a cup of coffee in a hotel lobby the next day. “We love sympathy, we love compassion, we love support, but we want people in the West to also to fall in love with something, and Ukrainian culture is a perfect thing.”
This raises an obvious question: What did he think of President Donald Trump’s car wreck of a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky? “Russia is the aggressor,” Vakarchuk says in an email, days after an interview in Berlin the day after the concert. “Ukraine is defending itself. We are sincerely grateful to the American people for all the help Ukrainians have received and are receiving.”
Vakarchuk needs to walk a tightrope of sorts — he was involved in politics years ago as a member of Ukrainian parliament and he founded the political party Holos (it translates as “voice” or “vote”), but he has retired from that. His politics were pro-Europe, which can be contentious in a country that has only been independent in its modern incarnation since 1991 and has been struggling with Russian interference or invasions almost ever since. “I treated politics as a public duty,” he says, noting he retired from it a half-decade ago. “I hate it as an operational thing. I have no taste for fighting for power.”
Vakarchuk seems to see music as the continuation of politics by other means — not only as an art form but also a way to influence the world. To him, “Music is the most influential thing that changes the world.” If rock bands and pop culture played at least some role in bringing down the Iron Curtain — and Bruce Springsteen’s 1988 concert in East Berlin might have played a significant one — why can’t Okean Elzy have some influence? Vakarchuk takes care to point out that he’s retired from politics — he wants the war to end, but he doesn’t want to go back to that. But at a time when rock barely tops sales charts, let alone topples walls, simply thinking that way sets the band apart from most of its peers.
That’s part of the reason the band started recording in English. Back in 2022, when Okean Elzy played Prague, Vakarchuk was recognized on the street by people who knew him less from his music than from his appearances on television news, where he sometimes commented on the Russian invasion. “Many of them said, ‘We love you and we support you, but we can’t understand what you’re singing,’” Vakarchuk remembers. The next day, the band decided to make an album in English. That required a global promotional push, which in turn required a big label that could match Vakarchuk’s ambitions. “I don’t only want to break the band in the West,” he says. “I want to break Ukraine culturally in the West.
This could be more important than it might seem. Americans and Europeans tend to see foreign military conflicts as remote — which, in geographic terms, the war in Ukraine is. But the conflict is essentially about whether the country can break out of Russia’s geopolitical orbit to move toward Europe politically. Having Ukrainian artists to admire might matter — especially since Trump seems to admire the raw power politics of Russian president Vladimir Putin. It could make a difference if Americans feel that Ukraine deserves not only sympathy but also support to achieve a peace deal that secures its independence.
“We Ukrainians most of all want an end to the war and a sustainable and just peace with security guarantees for Ukraine,” Vakarchuk says. “We are fighting to achieve this goal and we are grateful to everyone who supports us.”
For now, the band’s show comes with a good deal of patriotic flair, but much of that comes from the audience. “It’s an inevitable reaction to use your political tokens, like flags, to shout at the world — ‘We’re here! And we’re big and we’re strong,’” Vakarchuk says. But Vakarchuk hopes that both his band and his country will move beyond this. “When we are finally done with the war and we secure our independence and develop as a normal European nation, like Denmark or Sweden,” he says, “then the politicizing of events will go.”
