After catching drama with quite a few of his Hip-Hop peers, Freddie Gibbs seemingly took a step back from the rap game, but the Gary, Indiana representative is once again ready for his closeup and comes through with some new work for his hardcore day-one fans.

Dropping off some new visuals to “On The Set,” Freddie Gibbs finds himself, well, on the set of whatever film he’s working on and uses his break time to spit some bars and get some R&R before shooting his next scene.

Back in Florida, Kodak Black keeps his street hot and in his clip for “Catch Fire,” Kodak and his crew witness the fire department put out a burning car while they stand by and take in the scene. We’re not trying to start no rumors, but could Kodak have had anything to do with that car going up in flames? Just askin.’

Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Slim Thug, Nappy Roots, and more.

Paola Jara Reveals New Song ‘Cosas del Amor’ Coming Out With Cata | Behind the Photo

Paola Jara takes Billboard Behind the Photo from very special moments in her life, reveals a new song she has coming out with her best friend Cata and more!

Paola Jara:
Hi, I’m Paola Jara and I’m going Behind the Photo with Billboard. This photo is from a recent show, a very nice, very intimate show that I had in Cali, which is a very beautiful city in Colombia. And well, the place is very Mexican themed. The show was really very intimate and it was one of those nice experiences because it reminds me a lot of my beginnings where I had the opportunity to sing at the tables, to sing with the audience very close. So these kinds of concerts are very emotional.

Wow! What can I tell you about this photo? I think there is one of them missing, that is my Coffee, which is no longer with me. But they are like my children, really more than pets, unquestionably for those of us who have puppies or even cats or who have a pet, know that it is truly a unique companion, which is truly something beautiful for each one of us who are fortunate to have them. You picked very good photos.

Well, this photo was taken very recently. In Germany, Cata, she is a childhood friend of mine. I can really put it that way because we grew, not only a very nice friendship, but also musically. She is a person I love very much, one of my best friends. Unfortunately, she is already living in Germany. She got married, she’s a mom, and let’s just say she retired a little bit from music, but now she is getting back to it.

Keep watching for more!

Megan Thee Stallion Files Lawsuit Against YouTuber Over Lies About Tory Lanez Shooting | Billboard News

Megan Thee Stallion has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz over her spreading misinformation and lies about Megan regarding the Tory Lanez shooting case. See what Megan had to say in response to the YouTuber.

Tetris Kelly:

Megan Thee Stallion has filed a lawsuit against a YouTuber over lies about the Tory Lanez shooting case. Let’s dive in. You may have seen online a high-profile false story about the “Mamushi” rapper’s shooting case circulating on social media. Well, the superstar is taking legal action over a “campaign of harassment and cyberbullying.” In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, attorneys for the rapper accused Milagro Gramz of “carrying out a public campaign to denigrate, belittle, insult, and spread false statements” about her. Thee Stallion claims Gramz is a “mouthpiece and puppet” for Tory Lanez. They are alleging Gramz shared a pornographic “deepfake” of Meg – a move that Megan’s lawyers say violates a Florida statute. In a statement posted to X, Gramz acknowledged the lawsuit, saying she had “been informed that I’m being sued by Alex Spiro on behalf of his client Megan Thee Stallion.”

In a statement to Billboard, Megan has said, “I’ve endured countless attacks on my character based on false narratives from social media bloggers misrepresenting themselves as journalists. It is unacceptable behavior and these individuals need to understand there will be repercussions for recklessly posting lies and defamatory falsehoods.”

In addition to the special greeting, students also received career advice, and they even partook in a culinary competition where the winner was awarded a scholarship, and it wouldn’t be a Deja Tu Huella celebration if there wasn’t enough free Cheetos swag to go around. The event also had food trucks, photo booths, tons of music, and of course, plenty of Cheetos. The students left the experience feeling inspired to leave their mark for more on Cheetos’ Deja Tu Huella tour campaign, head to billboard.com.
