While discussing the Brooklyn shoot, Cardi B also said around 40 NYPD officers were present during filming. She described the heavy police presence and logistical requirements as frustrating, especially for a video designed to capture the feel of a summer day in New York.

The AH HA video was filmed in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood and leans heavily into local street culture. It includes motorcycles, dancing, neighborhood scenes and a fire hydrant sequence, along with an appearance by Kash Doll.

The production highlights how quickly costs can rise when a major artist films on public streets, where permits, staffing, crowd control and security can add significant expenses.

In the same conversation, Stove God avoided confirming whether Jay-Z is actually working on a new album. Speculation about a possible project has circulated for some time, but no new album has been officially announced.

The moment also comes as Stove God Cooks continues preparing his own next chapter. His 2020 debut album, Reasonable Drought, helped establish him as a distinctive voice in modern hip-hop, while later collaborations expanded his audience.

He has also indicated that new music is on the way following changes to his recording agreement. For now, the Jay-Z hook remains an intriguing possibility rather than a confirmed collaboration.

Released August 28 by the Prince Estate in partnership with Legacy Recordings, the album spans sessions from 1977 through 2016. The project was announced as the first Prince collection specifically curated to represent every major period of his recording career, beginning with material created when he was still a teenager.

The tracklist moves chronologically through songs including I Am You, Tick Tick Bang, Heaven, I Wonder, With This Tear, Stone, Calabama, The Guilty Ones and Bestest Friend. It closes with a live 2016 performance of How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore?

A previously unreleased 2007 recording, The Guilty Ones, also arrived with a new music video. The collection was mixed and mastered by longtime Prince engineer Chris James.

Timeless arrives during the 10th anniversary year of Prince’s death and is available digitally, on CD and vinyl.

The brand announced that the selected candidate will earn $10,000 per month while sampling products, sharing feedback, tracking flavor trends and contributing ideas to future releases. The position is fully remote and open to applicants around the world.

Professional culinary experience is not required. Instead, the role is aimed at someone with curiosity, a strong sense of taste, an interest in food culture and the ability to clearly communicate opinions and ideas.

The job may also include some travel connected to the brand’s activities. Applications opened August 27, 2026, and are scheduled to remain available for three weeks.

Snoop Dogg and members of his team are expected to take part in reviewing shortlisted applicants. The final candidate is also expected to receive the news directly from Snoop Dogg.

The magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit the Chocó region on August 10, 2026, causing widespread damage and leaving communities in need of food, shelter, and other essential supplies. The announcement said the funds will assist groups already working on the ground to provide emergency support and recovery services.

Relief organizations have been focused on getting basic necessities to families in the hardest-hit areas while local authorities continue to assess the full extent of the damage.

Beyoncé has previously supported humanitarian and disaster-relief efforts through charitable giving and community initiatives. Her latest contribution adds to broader efforts from aid groups and donors working to help Colombian communities recover and rebuild following the earthquake.

In a message shared with fans on August 26, the singer explained that she had spent the night dealing with severe pain and difficulty swallowing. After receiving medical attention, she said she was not cleared to sing, leading to the cancellation of shows in Camden, New Jersey, and the Washington, D.C. area.

The update came as Kehlani continues the North American leg of her current tour. Her team is working on possible options for the affected dates, while the tour is expected to move forward with its next scheduled performance in Richmond, Virginia, on August 29.

Kehlani also acknowledged how difficult it was to cancel performances, noting the care she puts into protecting her health while on the road.

The tour follows a busy period for the R&B singer, whose recent releases have continued to build momentum across her career.

In her tribute, Beyoncé reflected on the opportunity to work with Parton and described the experience as something she would always treasure. The message also highlighted Parton’s individuality and the impact she made across generations of music.

The two artists became directly connected through Beyoncé’s 2024 album Cowboy Carter. Parton appeared on the project, including the Dolly P interlude that leads into Beyoncé’s interpretation of Jolene. The new version kept the recognizable foundation of Parton’s 1973 classic while changing much of the lyrical perspective.

Parton was also featured in the introduction to Tyrant, another track from Cowboy Carter. Her involvement helped connect the album’s contemporary approach with a familiar voice from country music history.

Beyoncé’s tribute reflects a musical relationship that brought together two artists from different generations and backgrounds while recognizing Parton’s broad cultural reach.

In a recent discussion about longevity in rap, 50 Cent said hip-hop has traditionally been driven by younger artists and suggested that older performers may not always remain central to the culture. His own career has increasingly expanded beyond music into television, film, and business projects.

Ross took a different position, arguing that age should not decide when a rapper stops creating music. He pointed to respected artists such as Bun B and the late Pimp C as examples of musicians whose work continues to connect with listeners regardless of generation.

The exchange highlights a broader conversation within hip-hop as more of its biggest stars reach their 40s, 50s, and beyond. For Ross, staying active comes down to relevance, creativity, and whether fans still want to hear the music.

In the same announcement, Serayah said she was sharing the reason for the breakup without seeking sympathy or retaliation. She also made clear that she does not plan to discuss additional private details publicly.

The former couple shares a son, and Serayah said protecting his privacy, peace, and relationship with both parents will remain her priority. The pair first met in 2021 and began dating in 2022. They welcomed their son in June 2025 and announced their engagement the following month.

Serayah also encouraged women to trust their instincts and avoid compromising their values to preserve a relationship. Joey Bada$$ had not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of her announcement.

In a video posted after the show, Timberlake indicated that he had originally planned to watch the concert from the VIP area. His appearance quickly became part of the performance, fittingly connecting the two songs. Toliver’s Body, released in 2026, samples Rock Your Body, one of the best-known tracks from Timberlake’s debut solo album, Justified.

The appearance also marked a relatively rare return to the stage for Timberlake. He had not performed publicly for several months before the Miami show.

Toliver has previously spoken about his appreciation for Timberlake’s early solo music, making the surprise collaboration a natural match for Body and its recognizable sample.
