JENNIE: An Exclusive Look Into Her World | Billboard Cover

Billboard cover star and global sensation, JENNIE, takes us behind the scenes of her shoot and into her world. The star shares her favorite place to be in Seoul, when she decided that she wanted to release a solo album and more!

JENNIE:

Hi, I’m JENNIE. I’m here in Seoul shooting for the cover for Billboard. We’re here in Seoul. It feels super nice to be back home. I’ve been traveling a lot, so I appreciate being back in my city, and also the weather. It is really perfect right now, it’s nice to be walking around outside anywhere. This is top secret, I would recommend people to walk along the Hangang. It’s one of my favorite places, and with this weather, it would be perfect. I feel very powerful right now, I think I look like a football player with how my shoulder looks right now, I’m loving this energy. Yeah, I think it’s a fun look with my sleek hair, my makeup, my nails. We wanted to portray elegance and beauty. What better color to convey that than black? I feel like a strong, independent woman right now. My whole life, I think ever since the day I started in this music industry, which was 15, releasing a full solo album, has been on my list. I do have a song that makes me feel like a boss, and it’s in my album, so make sure to check what song that is. I try to get as much as sleep. I love taking a bath. I love eating Korean food.

Linking up with Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez for the visuals to “By Myself,” hit the old block with some new toys as they roll up in the PJ’s in a Maybach while rocking blocks of ice just to shoot some dice on the hallway and count stacks of cash like it’s an everyday thing. You know they good in the hood if they flossing like that with no worries.

Speaking of the PJ’s, Project Pat is still doing his thing after all these decades and in his clip to “We Can Get Gangsta,” Project P has some heads on the block bust some impressive robotic moves to his cut to the point where we don’t know if these was fancy camera work or A.I. generated work. Still, pretty damn dope.

Jelly Roll Believes He Can End the Eminem Vs. MGK Feud | Billboard News

Jelly Roll shares his thoughts on the Eminem vs MGK feud, and why he believes he can bring the two artists together. Keep watching to learn more!

Jelly Roll:

My heart is always to bring them together one day because I see so much more of them in each other than they know, you know what I mean?

Tetris Kelly:

Could the Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly feud come to an end? Jelly Roll thinks he can do it. We have the story.

Jelly Roll:

I hadn’t really brought it up to Marshall yet because I’m still just kind of glad that I’m still in that circumstance to be able to have those conversations. But I do see so much more in them than not.

Tetris Kelly:

Em and MGK have exchanged bars and jabs against each other for some time. Jelly has collaborated with both rappers on his project and he told the Flagrant Podcast he’s up for bringing the peace.

Jelly Roll:

Like I also gave Kel some perspective, too. And it’s like we all grew up watching Eminem take over the game early. If you were mentioned in an Eminem song, it was like getting mentioned in a comedy special. You were on fire. You couldn’t be hotter.

Tetris Kelly:

Em and MGK first started butting heads in 2012, when the latter — who was 22 at the time — referred to the former’s then-16-year-old daughter Hailie as “hot as f–k” on Twitter.

Look man, they’re going to get together one day, eventually. It’s inevitable, the world’s a circle, you know what I mean? And I think they’re going to find each other’s heart more than they don’t. And if they never do connect that way I think that it did more for both of them than it did to hurt them.

Unsure of what to make of the post, a confused Kai responded on his stream. 

Kai Cenat:
I don’t even know what this s–t means. Now, listen, I know he’s got an album coming out. And I’m not gon’ lie, I think I’m officially a part of the rollout. I don’t know, though. Brilliant move by him. I think I’m a part of the rollout. He made me a part of the f–king rollout, dude.”

Fat Joe on First Album in 15 Years ‘The World Changed on Me’ & More | Billboard News

Fat Joe released his first solo album in 15 years, ‘The World Changed On Me.’ He shares how his new work is consistent with his past work, his personal losses and how he’s dealt with them, working with Eminem, why he started ‘Fat Joe Talks’ and more!

Carl Lamarre:

We got a legend here. I’m talking about BX native, just chilling with VP Harris not too long ago, he hosted the BET Hip Hop Awards for the third consecutive year, heavy hitter, legend. Mr. Fat Joe.

Fat Joe:

You know, thank you. I resigned as host to the BET Hip Hop Awards because, no real sh*t, 2 Chainz said I’ve been monopolizing. So he said, “Yo, let me host. I know I could be a good host.” I said, “You know what my brother? You could be the host next year. 

You passed the torch officially?

Yeah, I mean, BET, don’t know that. You know, side bar with 2 Chainz. He was like, “Yo, I really want to do that.” I was like, “No question.”

I love that. I love that. I feel like Chainz will be a good host, man. I mean, you held it down for three years, but it makes sense you pass the torch, because now you can focus on the music, and that’s why we’re here. New album, first one in nearly 15 years. 

That sounds weird. 

A decade and a half. 

Everyone keeps saying that, but I mean, like, what I have ‘Plata o Plomo,’ that’s with Remy and then the Dre album, but I feel like I’ve been consistently working, but I guess this is my first solo in 15 years, that’s crazy. Man, it’s incredible, though. This album is consistent. This album is incredible.

It feels like just yesterday Paul Wall had the internet going nuts as one of the coolest white rappers in the rap game outside of Eminem and though the man hasn’t experienced the level of success of Slim Shady, he’s still beloved by millions and is still doing his thing in 2025.

Dropping off some new visuals for “Love 4 Rent,” Paul Wall pops out with the iced out grill and sugar daddy sunglasses to spit his rhymes as he chills in his private study like a grownup who reflects on his life a few times a week. We wonder if he’s still making iced out grills for his fellow rap peers.

Keeping the vibe in the South, Neno Calvin and B.G. link up to get some heads boppin’ and in their clip to “In These Streets,” the two hit the block with their peoples to floss big stacks of cash in a bodega where we’re sure the cashier is hoping to get them to spend most of that. They probably didn’t though.

Check out the rest of today’s drops and some joints you might’ve missed over the weekend including work from Dono, Summer Walker, and more.

PAUL WALL – “LOVE 4 RENT”
