Tory Lanez Sentencing in Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Delayed to August

Tory Lanez’s sentencing for shooting and wounding hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion was delayed on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Herriford accepted the defense’s request to delay Lanez’s sentencing, which is now scheduled for Aug. 7. Prosecutors are seeking a 13 year prison sentence and Lanez faces deportation to his native Canada.

Herriford decided to give Lanez’s lawyers more time to prepare their sentencing recommendation, which is due Aug. 1. The judge, who will sentence Lanez, denied a motion from Lanez’ defense attorneys for a new trial on May 9.

During the brief court hearing, Lanez mostly kept his head down and barely made eye contact with anyone. He wore an orange jail outfit and black cap.

Lanez was convicted in December of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm; having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Attorneys for Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, argued that there was insufficient evidence to convict him, and some of the evidence presented to jurors should not have been allowed.

Lanez began releasing mixtapes in 2009 and saw a steady rise in popularity, moving on to major-label albums. His last two reached the top 10 on Billboard’s charts.

Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that Lanez fired a handgun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding in the Hollywood Hills in the summer of 2020. She said the two had gotten into a dispute that became especially heated when she started insulting his music.

She needed surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet.

Lisa Marie Presley’s Daughter Riley Keough Named Sole Trustee of Estate

Riley Keough has been named the sole trustee of her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s estate, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Daisy Jones & The Six actress moved to approve the deal on Monday (June 12) in Los Angeles Superior Court, and her grandmother Priscilla Presley will be paid an undisclosed amount to drop her petition challenging a 2016 amendment to her late daughter’s will that replaced her as a co-trustee. She argued that the amendment was never delivered to her while her daughter was alive, as required by the trust’s terms.

Following the death of her father Elvis Presley and his parents, Lisa Marie became the sole inheritor to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s estate, which was managed by Priscilla, who was married to Elvis from 1967 to 1973. When the trust was dissolved on Lisa Marie’s 25th birthday in 1993, she formed a new trust to continue the management of the estate with Priscilla Presley as co-trustee.

Lisa Marie died at age 54 on Jan. 12 after being hospitalized for suffering cardiac arrest. “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla said in a statement announcing the news. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”

Peso Pluma Announces New Album’s Release Date & Unveils Tracklist

Peso Pluma is set to drop his new album, Genesis, on June 22, the música Mexicana star announced today (June 13). The “Por Las Noches” singer also unveiled the set’s star-studded tracklist with songs featuring some of his go-to collaborators such as Natanael Cano, Junior H, Luis R Conriquez and Jasiel Nuñez.

While it’s not his debut album — the Guadalajara-born artist released Ah Y Qué? in 2020 and a year later Efectos Secundarios — it feels like a momentous LP given the winning streak that has catapulted him to the top of the charts in the last few months.

Rapidly becoming a household name in the U.S. and beyond, Peso has now become the first artist to dominate both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. simultaneously with two different songs: The blockbuster hit “Ella Baila Sola” with Eslabon Armado and his unprecedented “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 55” with Bizarrap, which dropped in May.

The album announcement comes weeks after his collab with Argentine producer Bizarrap who, thanks to Peso, experiments with regional Mexican music for the first time for one of his music sessions. The song scored the Mexican singer his ninth top 10 song on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart. Elsewhere, “Vol. 55” makes its No. 31 debut on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 ranking dated June 17.

Peso Pluma is currently on his first-ever U.S. tour. The Live-Nation-produced stint kicked off in April and will make stops in Nashville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Chicago.

‘Black Ink Crew’ Recap: Puma & Ceaser Loyalist Spyder Clash, The New Crew Make A Good First Impression

Black Ink Crew NY Season 10

Source: Courtesy VH1 / Black Ink Crew / Puma

Last week on Black Ink Crew, Puma, and Teddy narrowed their search for new tattoo artists to eight. This week the new bosses of the Black Ink brand moved their recruits into a big a** mansion, and one of the OGs is still big mad.

Black Ink Crew, Meets The Real World & Big Brother

To find new artists to help usher in the new era of Black Ink, Puma, and Teddy decide to take some cues from the Real World and Big Brother and move the seven lucky tattoo artists plus one piercer into a mansion that Puma’s friend, Daymond John helped him secure.

Puma and Teddy make it abundantly clear that not all of them will make it to the new shop.

This is a different way than they are used to when selecting artists, but Puma and Teddy feel it was the right decision. Puma has an event lined up for the recruits at Cookies in New York City. Unfortunately, not all of the artists will be selected to participate. One of them, Made Rich, is BIG MAD that he was not chosen but eventually comes to grips that he will not be participating in the first event.

Meanwhile, Teddy links up with Alex and Spyda because he feels it would be an excellent idea for the original Black Ink artists to be in the building to help out, but he has no idea that his plan will backfire epically.

Spyda & Puma Clash

The event goes well, with the recruits making a great impression on their potential bosses, but the positive vibes quickly disappear when Sypder and Alex show up.

Puma feels Spyder’s chance to be a part of the new Black Ink is gone after he initially said no to the idea of Black Ink moving out of the hood and proudly showed his allegiance to Ceaser.

Spyda loses his cool when he senses that Puma doesn’t want him to be at the event, and Puma asks Teddy why Spyder is at the event if they don’t need his help.

The loud tattoo artist engages in a one-sided shouting match with Puma before Teddy tells him to follow him outside before things get physical.

As he leaves, he can hear Puma saying the new artists at the event tattoo better than him, and Spyder loses it, calling him a fake boss and telling him to suck his, you know what.

Viewers had plenty of thoughts about the episode. You can see the reactions in the gallery below.

Madonna Joins Elite Company With Hot 100 Hits in Five Distinct Decades, Thanks to ‘Popular’ Debut

Madonna joins exclusive company in having hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart in five distinct decades, as “Popular,” with The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, debuts on the June 17-dated list.

With the entrance, Madonna has debuted songs on the Hot 100 in the 1980s, ‘90s, 2000s, ’10s and now ‘20s.

Among women, Madonna joins Cher as the only women to have debuted titles on the Hot 100 in five separate decades, with Cher’s history on the chart spanning the ‘60s through the ‘00s.

(Brenda Lee is the only other woman to have appeared on the Hot 100 in five distinct decades; she debuted songs in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, while her chestnut “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” has re-entered annually in the ‘10s and ‘20s.)

“Popular” debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 43 with 10.1 million official streams, 2 million airplay audience impressions and 4,000 sold in the United States in its first week (June 2-8), according to Luminate.

The song, released June 2 on HBO/XO/Republic Records, is from the new HBO drama The Idol, which premiered June 4 and stars The Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp and Dan Levy, among others.

“Madonna … Madge. She’s the ultimate co-sign for this song, for this album and for this TV show,” The Weeknd beamed to Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe on June 2.

Here’s a look at the elite artists that have appeared on the Hot 100 in five or more decades. Three stars have done so in six decades: Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley, with all three having extended their runs to a sixth decade each in the ‘20s thanks to seasonal re-entries. (Acts below designated with an asterisk likewise expanded their chart histories to a fifth decade each also via seasonal songs’ or other revived titles’ re-entries).

Acts With Hot 100 Hits in Six Decades:

  • Michael Jackson (1970s-2020s)
  • Paul McCartney (‘70s-‘20s)
  • Elvis Presley (‘50s-‘80s; ‘00s, ‘20s)

Acts With Hot 100 Hits in Five Decades:

  • Madonna (‘80s-‘20s)
  • Ozzy Osbourne (‘80s-‘20s)
  • *Eagles (‘70s-‘00s; ‘20s)
  • *Fleetwood Mac (‘70s-‘00s; ‘20s)
  • Elton John (‘70s-‘00s; ‘20s)
  • *Chuck Berry (‘50-‘70s; ‘10s-‘20s)
  • *Perry Como  (‘50-‘70s; ‘10s-‘20s)
  • *Brenda Lee  (‘50-‘70s; ‘10s-‘20s)
  • *Andy Williams (‘50-‘70s; ‘10s-‘20s)
  • *Prince (‘70s-‘10s)
  • Cher (‘60s-‘00s)
  • The Rolling Stones (‘60s-‘00s)
  • Santana (‘60s-‘00s)
  • Stevie Wonder (‘60s-‘00s)
  • Ray Charles (‘50s-‘90s)
  • Smokey Robinson  (‘50s-‘90s)

Thus, the only acts each to debut titles on the Hot 100 in five separate decades are Ray Charles, Cher, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, Smokey Robinson, the Rolling Stones, Santana and Stevie Wonder.

Notably, Jackson and McCartney have been visitors to the Hot 100 in seven distinct decades each, additionally considering their runs in groups in the ‘60s: Jackson, thanks to the Jackson 5, and McCartney, via the Beatles.

The Queen of Pop adds her 58th Hot 100 hit, the seventh-most among women since the chart began with the survey dated Aug. 4, 1958. (It was a historic month for music; along with the Hot 100’s bow, Madonna was born Aug. 16, 1958, and Jackson, Aug. 29.) Taylor Swift leads all women with 190 Hot 100 entries, followed by Nicki Minaj (129), Beyoncé (81), Aretha Franklin, Ariana Grande (73 each) and Rihanna (63). (Madonna breaks out of a tie with Miley Cyrus, who has logged 57 appearances.)

Madonna boasts her highest Hot 100 rank since 2012, when “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” featuring Minaj and M.I.A., hit No. 10, becoming her then-record 38th top 10. (Drake and Swift now have the only higher top 10 totals: 68 and 40, respectively.)

Concurrently, “Popular” debuts at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart, marking Madonna’s first appearance since the survey originated in 2012. On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, it opens at No. 16, becoming her first entry since 1995. She claims her second-highest-charting Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs hit, after only “Like a Virgin” (No. 9, 1985). She has also reached the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 20 with “Vogue” (No. 16, 1990) and “Like a Prayer” (No. 20, 1989).

Meanwhile, Madonna has released new songs in consecutive weeks. Following the June 2 arrival of “Popular,” her team-up with Sam Smith, “Vulgar,” was released June 9. The tracks follow Madonna’s March 20 tease that she was working on new music with fellow pop titan Max Martin.

Billboard 2022: The Covers

2022 was a big year for music, and it reflected on Billboard‘s magazine covers throughout the year.

Post Malone kicked off 2022’s covers by opening the doors to his Utah home, and the rest of the year featured intimate conversations with stars like SZA, Anitta, Sam Smith, Bad Bunny and many more.

To celebrate Women in Music, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Madonna were transformed into NFTs, and Billboard kept up with current events by diving into the Roe v. Wade overturn and Snapchat’s future.

Stray Kids also graced the cover in September, marking one of the year’s most popular issues. “What I can say is, we’re definitely trying to put on a good impression and be as genuine as we can for people who look up to us,” Bang Chan said in the accompanying feature of the group’s global superstardom. “Our goal ever since we debuted was to reach as many ‘stray kids’ as possible. To deliver our music and give strength to people who really need it.”

Tetris Kelly:
Hey guys, I’m Tetris Kelly for Billboard News. It’s Tuesday, June 13. Let’s jump into your top story. Hailey Bieber has a message for her fans about hate toward Selena Gomez.

Tetris Kelly:
Hailey Bieber tells her fans to cut out the hateful comments on Selena’s social media. After Haliey liked one of Gomez’s pics, Bieber posted to her story, “If you’re leaving mean or rude comments on my behalf on anyone’s posts, just know that I don’t want that. Nor will I ever support or condone hateful mean or nasty comments. Doing that is not supporting me.” If you remember earlier this year, Selena had to tell her fans to leave Hailey alone after they thought her ex’s wife was dissing the pop star. All I gotta say is we love seeing queens supporting queens. Now y’all need to leave these women alone.

Released in August, Physical Thrills is Silversun Pickups second album produced by legendary American musician, songwriter, and record producer Butch Vig and is the third album to be released on their own label, New Machine Recordings.

“After building so many layers on the album it felt great to strip these songs down to their rawest form,” Monninger said in a press release announcing the album.

Yesterday, the Silversun Pickups announced a Sept. 29 concert at The Show inside of Agua Caliente in Rancho Mirage, Calif., near Palm Springs.
