The release date for the new James Bond film, No Time To Die, has been bumped up a few days earlier than originally planned after experiencing a months-long delay due to the coronavirus pandemic. Per Deadline, MGM has announced that No Time To Die will now be occupying the release date of the Godzilla vs. King Kong, which was slated to come out on November 20th later this year. No Time To Die had been scheduled to be released on November 25th in the United States ever since it was announced on March 4th that the film would be postponed from its original release date of April 10th. However, the film has been rescheduled yet again, this time by just a few days.

6ix9ine will be conducting yet another premiere party on Instagram live, this time for the release of his upcoming single with Nicki Minaj, titled “Trollz,” dropping at midnight on Friday (June 12th). The news broke earlier today that Nicki, who previously collaborated with 6ix9ine on “FeFe” in 2018, would be featured on his new single, the title of which had already been confirmed by the rainbow-haired rapper himself. There had been rumours that Nicki would be serving as the special guest on 6ix9ine’s follow-up to “GOOBA,” but nothing had been confirmed until now. It looks like 6ix9ine will be ringing in the special day with his fans, as he plans to go live on IG an hour before the “Trollz” music video is set to drop.

“I’m going live tomorrow 11:00pm Eastern,” he announced on Instagram today. “TOMORROW WE BREAK THE INTERNET IM GOING LIVE BEFORE THE VIDEO,” he wrote in the caption. “I CANT BE STOPPED.” 6ix9ine pulled a similar move when he made his musical comeback with “GOOBA,” and that IG live stream ended up breaking the all-time record previously set by Tory Lanez. 6ix9ine’s record has since been broken by a Turkish reality star, but if he links up with Nicki over IG live this time, there’s no doubt that the Barbz will be racking up the views beyond belief.

In addition to the news of their collab, 6ix9ine and Nicki announced that a portion of the proceeds from the song will be going toward The Bail Project Inc., which provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford it.

Will you be tuning into the live stream? Are you excited for “Trollz”?

Martin Shkreli has attempted to position himself as an evil genius over the years only to be locked up in prison for security fraud charges. Even though he’s currently locked up, he’s still found himself at the center of controversy following claims that he hasDrake‘s unreleased diss records towards Pusha T, running his company behind bars, and most recently, requesting to be released in order to help find a cure for coronavirus.

Unfortunately for him, the judge wasn’t buying it. According to TMZ, Shkreli’s request to be released from prison was shot down by a judge who didn’t find any grounds as to why Shrekli should be granted a compassionate release. The Pharma Bro attempted to convince the judge that he had underlying conditions that made him vulnerable to contracting the virus, but apparently, the judge wasn’t convinced.

Shkreli’s concerns of contracting COVID-19 at FCI Allenwood Low in PA wasn’t valid since there were zero cases found in the correctional facilities. The medical concerns Shkreli’s legal team laid out for the court were deemed BS including claims that Shkreli has asthma. The court did acknowledge that he does take Claritin for seasonal allergies, though that’s the extent of his medical conditions.

Though Shkreli attempted to claim that he would help find the cure for COVID-19 if he were released, the court clearly didn’t forget when he hiked the price of Daraprim from $13 to $750 a pill. In response to his claim that he’d find a cure, TMZ reports that the court claimed:

“They wrote of his claim of finding a cure that has “so far eluded the best medical and scientific minds in the world working around the clock” is the type of “delusional self-aggrandizing behavior” that precipitated the offenses was convicted for, per legal docs.”

Looks like Shkreli’s stuck. 

R. Kelly might still think he’s innocent but this time around, there are very few people that are convinced that’s true. The embattled singer has been incarcerated as he awaits trial for sex crime charges. However, the coronavirus pandemic has shifted the world entirely, especially within the criminal justice system. Former inmates have been granted early release but not R. Kelly. Over the past few months, he’s made several attempts to post bond and it seems like he’s not providing a strong enough argument for his release.

Page Six reports that a judge has denied R. Kelly bond for a third time in a row after he made pleads to be released out of fear of contracting coronavirus. In the latest motion his lawyers filed on his behalf argued that he’s prediabetic and can very well be at risk if exposed to COVID-19. However, that wasn’t a compelling enough argument for the judge.

“I do not agree that a diagnosis of prediabetes presents a compelling reason for the defendant’s release,” Judge Ann Donnelly wrote. “While the CDC has identified diabetes as a risk factor for COVID-19, the same is not true for prediabetes, a condition that affects nearly one in three American adults.”

This marks the third time a judge has denied R. Kelly to be released from prison in wake of the pandemic. We’ll keep you posted on any updates.

The Eternal Atake rapper announced the news, Sunday. A fan baited the news from him during an exchange on Twitter.

"I was young high and took life for granted never again I’m on my do every show till I get kicked off stage shit," Uzi says, responding to a fan disgruntled about a poor experience at one of his shows.

R. Kelly’s alleged crimes have been very well-documented in the media and his alleged victims are adamant that they want to see justice served. As of right now, the disgraced R&B singer is behind bars and awaiting trial, while also having to deal with other pending indictments. For instance, it was reported by Vulture that Kelly recently plead not guilty to an indictment that included nine counts of racketeering and sexual abuse. Within this indictment, Kelly was accused of knowingly exposing two women to herpes. In fact, one of these alleged victims was a minor.

Aside from these matters, Kelly is looking to get himself out of jail, once again. If you remember, we reported on how Kelly tried to convince the judge to let him out of prison, twice during the month of April. Of course, the Coronavirus is making its way through the prison system and Kelly wants to make sure he stays safe of the illness.

According to TMZ, this time around, Kelly and his lawyer are claiming that the singer is “likely diabetic” and could be at risk of death should he become infected with COVID-19.

The judge has yet to make a decision although they fear Kelly could intimidate witnesses should he be allowed to leave early. The singer is making the case that he will be on his best behavior although it remains to be seen if his efforts will get him anywhere.

Stay tuned for updates on this story as we will be sure to bring them to you.

DaBaby is definitely an artist of rapid acceleration when it comes to releasing music. The man has already dropped three studio albums in the span of just over a year, and according to his recent statements, he has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Following the release of Baby on Baby in March of 2019 and KIRK in September of the same year, DaBaby came through with his latest body of work, Blame It On Baby, last Friday (April 17th). The album has received a mix response, with many fans resenting his refusal to switch up his flow. Despite some of the negative reception, the project has still been doing exceptionally well otherwise, projected to move between 130,000 and 150,000 equivalent album units and set to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album even garnered over 25 million streams on Spotify in the first 30 minutes of its release.

On Friday, DaBaby virtually sat down with Ebro Darden for an interview on Apple Music to discuss Blame It On Baby. At one point, Ebro begins outlining the timeline of his previous album drops, to which DaBaby asks him, “You asking if I’m gonna drop another album?”

“That’s where I was going,” Ebro tells him, to which DaBaby responds, “Damn right. Definitely, definitely.” Ebro then asks him to confirm that we’ll be getting another album from him later this same year. “For sure. I can’t not do that,” DaBaby insists. “I gotta put out more.” Check out the full interview below, where DaBaby discusses working with Future, Roddy Ricch, and Ashanti on the album, his relationship to his fans, and more:

NLE Choppa has decided to chime in on the coronavirus prison release discourse in regards to famous rappers: if you're going to free Tekashi 6ix9ine, you've got to free YNW Melly as well. The spread of coronavirus has led many prison inmates to request early release or alternate accommodations to lower their chances of contraction, including many incarcerated celebrities. Bill Cosby and R. Kelly are among some of the scorned stars that have been denied early release, along with Florida rapper, YNW Melly.

As he awaits his double murder trial for allegedly killing two of his friends, Melly has been kept behind bars, where it was reported he recently tested positive for coronavirus. He requested to be released due to these unforeseen circumstances, but was told to stay put. His condition has reportedly not improved much at all, as he has only been "treated" with Tylenol and Gatorade. He even reached out to his past collaborator, Kanye West, for help Twitter, but so far has received no response. It looks like NLE Choppa caught wind of this whole situation, and expressed just how he feels about YNW Melly remaining in prison while another rapper, Tekashi 6ix9ine, was granted early release.

Jordyn Woods has decided to venture into the music scene after wowing audiences with her impressive vocal skills as the Kangaroo on The Masked Singer. The beauty of the odd-yet-enticing concept of The Masked Singer is that regardless of how certain the judges or the viewers are about who’s hiding underneath any given costume, more often than not, they’re proven wrong. Although most of the time, guesses will be in the same ballpark as the contestant’s true identity, nobody expected Ms. Jordyn Woods to be revealed as the Kangaroo during last week’s episode.

After getting eliminated and performing for the judges one last time, the Kangaroo mask was lifted and Jordyn was identified as the impressive vocalist underneath. It was virtually unknown that Jordyn could sing at all, let alone that she had such a fantastic voice. As a result, the reality star and actress has decided to pursue her “passion project”: record an album. “I have not been able to get to the studio. But as soon as everything clears up and we can leave again and I can get to the studio, that is as soon as you guys will get [an album],” she told ET. “Hopefully before the end of 2020. And I’m talking, like, as soon as possible.”

“I definitely don’t think people thought I could sing, but everyone has their opinion. Sometimes people [are] like, ‘What is her talent?’” she told PEOPLE. “You can be an influencer, I’ve filmed movies and I have my own businesses, but people are still like, ‘Okay, so what’s your talent?’ As if entrepreneurship isn’t enough. I wanted to show people a different side of me that even I didn’t know existed before doing the show.”

After quarantine is over, Jordyn plans to release music independently. “I’m going to most likely start my own label and be signed under myself rather than going to a label,” she said. She also credits her friend Jaden Smith for inspiring her to get into music. “Jaden’s been one of my biggest motivators from the beginning,” she said. “Last year, when I was just in the house, I started writing and teaching myself how to play the piano and he’s one of the first people that was like, ‘Jordyn, where’s the album?’ And this was before I even went on the show or anything.”

Will you be streaming Jordyn’s album in the future?

Perhaps one of the biggest stories of the past two weeks, aside from the Coronavirus, is the fact that Tekashi 6ix9ine was granted a release from prison. He was due out in the summer but because of his asthma, the judge let him free although he is still on house arrest, at least for now. COVID-19 can kill those who have respiratory issues and the judge figured it would be best to keep him out of jail, as the institution would prove to be a risk for his health.

One of the defendants in the case, Nine Trey Bloods godfather Roland Martin, also requested to be released from jail over Coronavirus fears. According to Complex, the judge denied the request. What makes Martin unique is that he was stabbed in a prison fight, which led to two punctured lungs. If he were to get COVID, he would have a hard time surviving.

Despite this, Judge Paul Engelmayer decided that because Martin has a violent criminal past and still has 50 months left in his sentence, it wouldn’t make sense to let him free on house arrest. Not to mention, Martin was allegedly a part of the shooting at the Barclays Center as well as the robbery in Manhattan. Judge Engelmayer felt like these offenses were worthy enough of keeping him behind bars.

Martin isn’t the only one from the 6ix9ine case to be denied early release. Denard Butler was given the same ruling recently, as well.
