For a three-time Super Bowl champion who’s dating one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Travis Kelce is doing exactly as well you’d expect. In a new teaser posted two days ahead of his Thursday (June 6) Good Morning America interview, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had a simple but enthusiastic answer when asked by the show’s Will Reeve how he’s doing: “I’m living the dream, baby.”
The teaser also hints that the sit-down interview will touch on Kelce’s romance with Taylor Swift as well as his football prowess. Plus, he’ll answer the question, “What does Travis Kelce want you to know?”
At the end of the 16-second clip, the Ohio native says the talk show’s iconic catchphrase: “Good morning, America!”
Trending on Billboard
The teaser comes just a few days after the athlete visited the White House with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of his Chiefs teammates — even kicker Harrison Butker, despite his condemnation of President Joe Biden in his controversial Benedictine College commencement speech in May — to celebrate their 2024 Super Bowl win. On Wednesday’s (June 5) episode of New Heights, Kelce opened up about the outing, revealing that the Secret Service warned him not to go near the POTUS’ podium again after pulling the same stunt one year ago.
“They weren’t too happy with me,” he said on the podcast, laughing. “[They said,] ‘You know, if you go up to that podium, we’re authorized to tase you. It is actually an order for us to tase you.’”
Even so, Kelce still got to approach the podium that day, as Biden ended up personally inviting him to speak into the microphone. “My fellow Americans, it’s nice to see you all yet again,” the football player said at the time before addressing the chief of state directly. “I’m not gonna lie, President Biden, they told me if I came up here, I’d get tased. So I’ma go back to my spot.”
“I had no idea President Biden was going to ask me to come up and let me have my moment,” Kelce recalled on New Heights. “If I would’ve did something real fast or real quick … I was in my head. I’m like, ‘Dude, I’m about to get f–kin’ tased. They warned me!’”
Watch Kelce talk about “living the dream” on GMA and open up about his recent White House visit on New Heights below.
Legendary rap group De La Soul worked for years to get their influential music catalog on streaming services. Sample clearances and disputes with their old label Tommy Boy kept their albums off DSPs up until recently. It wasn’t until Reservoir Media purchased Tommy Boy as part of a $100 million acquisition that the group’s music finally became available digitally. The group and Reservoir Media worked tirelessly to format the group’s first six albums for streaming, and the new documentary Chapter 3 chronicles that journey.

These sessions marked the first time in almost three decades that Posdnuos, Dave, Maseo, and producer Prince Paul ventured into the same studio together in service of a De La Soul project.

“Chapter 3 captures the journey of these four grown men with a legacy to protect, as well as the memories and moments that helped them build it. The documentary provides an intimate look at the creative process, camaraderie, and passion that has defined De La Soul’s enduring legacy.”

“Over the past 18 months, we have worked tirelessly with De La Soul, maintaining a heightened attention to honoring the group’s original musical details, including bringing Prince Paul and the original team to the studio to prepare the catalog for streaming.”

Taraji P. Henson will host the 2024 BET Awards live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. She previously hosted the show in 2021 and 2022. The Oscar-nominated actress (for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) is one of only two performers to host the show three times (the other being Mo’Nique, who won an Oscar for Precious). The 2024 BET Awards will air live on the East Coast on Sunday, June 30, on BET at 8 p.m. ET/ PT.
“Taraji is a phenom, known for her vibrant personality and charisma, and we are excited to welcome her back to host Culture’s Biggest Night, [the] BET Awards, the ultimate celebration of Black creativity,” Connie Orlando, BET’s EVP specials, music programming & music strategy, said in a statement.

Previously announced performers include GloRilla, Latto, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey and Victoria Monét. Sexyy Red, GloRilla and Long all have hits climbing the top 20 on Billboard’s current Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Sexyy Red’s “Get It Sexyy” jumps from No. 9 to No. 7, GloRilla’s “Yeah Glo!” jumps from No. 11 to No. 8 and Long’s “Made for Me” leaps from No. 25 to No. 17.
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” holds at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart after logging three weeks at No. 1.
If these artists perform these hits on the show, it could not only give the hits a boost, but the records’ Grammy chances, because the audience will likely include Grammy voters who are starting to think of their Grammy choices. (The Grammys’ online entry period runs from July 17 to Aug. 31.) Long’s “Made for Me” has the sophisticated R&B appeal of Monét’s “On My Mama,” which was nominated for record of the year at the Grammy ceremony that was held on Feb. 4.
Usher is set to receive the lifetime achievement award at this year’s BET Awards. He also has four nominations.
Drake leads the 2024 BET Awards nominations with seven nods, followed by Nicki Minaj with six; J. Cole, Sexyy Red, SZA, Monét and Beyoncé with five each; and 21 Savage, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Tyla and Usher, with four each.
Voting for the 2024 Viewer’s Choice Award begins Thursday June 6 and ends June 30. Nominees in that category are Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills,” Lil Durk’s “All My Life” (featuring J. Cole), Gunna’s “Fukumean,” Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” Long’s “Made for Me,” Monét’s “On My Mama,” Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” (featuring Sexyy Red & SZA), Chris Brown’s “Sensational (featuring Davido & Lojay), Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Tyla’s “Water.”
Orlando will oversee and executive produce the annual show. Jamal Noisette, SVP, tentpoles & music community engagement, will co-executive produce for BET. Jesse Collins Entertainment is the production company for the show, with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay also serving as executive producers.
We very well may be nearing the end of basketball’s most legendary studio show, Inside the NBA — and what a ride it’s been.
The 2024-2025 NBA season will likely be the last for hosts Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal together on TNT, with all signs pointing to NBC replacing Turner Sports as the league’s primary TV partner starting with the 2025-26 season. Barkley was on The Dan Patrick Show and revealed that “morale sucks, plain and simple,” when asked how the vibe was on the set.

And after last night’s series-clinching win by the Dallas Mavericks, eliminating the Minnesota Timberwolves and punching Dallas’ ticket to the NBA Finals, Mavs guard Luka Dončić brought the drama up — telling the guys they have to figure something out, to which Ernie confirmed they don’t know their fate past the next season.

The winner of 19 Emmys, Inside the NBA is like family to most basketball-obsessed households; especially for those who came of age during the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. This was a time when rap, basketball and sneakers were exploding. We watched and played whenever we could. We read SLAM magazine, tried to buy the latest basketball sneakers, listened to rap music, and stayed up late on Thursday nights during the NBA season to watch Inside the NBA.

To keep it a buck, to us basketball is just as much a part of hip-hop as rapping and graffiti. So, when we got a show starring an NYC basketball great like Smith and NBA and sneaker legend like Barkley, we had to tune in. And while shaky at first, Shaq’s addition at the start of the 2011-2012 season further ingratiated the crew to a generation that grew up buying his rap albums and signature Reeboks, watching his movies, and playing Shaq Fu on Sega Genesis. Inside the NBA is so hip-hop, its hosts were known to kick a few flows. Kenny Smith kicked a freestyle on BET’s Rap City back in 2001.

And Shaq was recently featured on a Rick Ross and Meek Mill song with Damian Lillard, and had arguably the best verse in the whole song.

I have to also acknowledge the show’s music selection. They’ve always seemed to be tapped into rap music, new and old. I remember hearing A Tribe Called Quest’s “Electric Relaxation” instrumental during breaks — and there’s this medley of rap songs Street Cred EJ knew off top.

Shaq, Kenny and Chuck come from the hip-hop generation and helped take the culture mainstream. Even Kenny would sometimes find himself impressed and surprised with a producer’s music picks. When they first played Kendrick’s recent Drake diss tracks, he was saying they shouldn’t pick sides, that they should play Drake’s songs too. They may be older, but the three former players are tapped in. They took what the late, great Stuart Scott was doing at ESPN in the early ‘90s and perfected it, carrying on his legacy of bringing hip-hop culture into households across the country.
During these playoffs. The producers have been in their bag playing the hits. “Like That” and “Not Like Us” have been TNT favorites during the Kendrick and Drake beef. They also played the “No Vaseline” instrumental — an absolutely insane thing to hear during a national sports broadcast. And just last night they played Don Toliver’s “Attitude” featuring Cash Cobain and Uncle Charlie Wilson faintly in the background. It doesn’t get more tapped-in than that.
A friend and I had a routine back in the early 2000s. We were fresh out of high school, and worked the same part-time job while taking classes at local colleges in North Jersey. After we got off work, we would cop some trees on the way home and link up later that night to watch the NBA on TNT. We did this every Thursday night during the NBA season. Sometimes we would catch both the 8 p.m. game and the 10:30 p.m. game — but we always made sure to watch Inside the NBA afterwards, even if it meant staying up until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning.
Now that I’m older, whenever I’m able to stay up to watch the best sports show on TV, I think about those days. Appointment television is a rarity in the age of streaming, and for 24 years, the guys over at Inside the NBA have made you regret falling asleep and missing not only their veteran basketball analysis and arguments with one another, but also all the jokes and shenanigans. “Elevator” Ernie Johnson deserves some love as well. He brings it all together by controlling the chaos while also letting Kenny, Chuck, and Shaq be themselves.

If next season really is their last, they deserve to have a legit farewell tour. Bringing back John Tesh’s “Roundball Rock” isn’t worth losing these four family members. Prime Bob Costas isn’t walking through that door. The only way NBC can get back into our good graces after forcing Inside the NBA to hang it up early, is to bring back NBA Inside Stuff without making it corny.
BREAKING: NBC has contacted John Tesh about reviving the iconic NBA on NBC theme song ‘Roundball Rock’ amid NBA rights dealnegotiations. “At the end of June, we’re heading to Nashville, we’ve got a full orchestra on hold & we’re going to re-record it.”https://t.co/J2Tb1XxPY9 pic.twitter.com/F6YUXSRpk4— Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz (@LeBatardShow) May 21, 2024
Inside the NBA had one of the greatest runs in sports TV history these past 24 years. I’m looking forward to having one last NBA season with my guys. Now that I think about it, ending things at 25 just sounds right.
Now I leave you with some Yo Momma jokes from the crew.
