Team Drizzy has a bone to pick with veteran country music star, Kenny Chesney, who just pulled a slimy move after securing the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart with his new album, Here and Now. Earlier this week, it was announced that Drake's new mixtape, Dark Lane Demo Tapes, had debuted at No. 2 with 223,000 equivalent album units, roughly 10,000 units shy of Kenny's 233,000. This chart position marked the end of Drake's decade-long, nine-project streak of No. 1 debuts, which was devastating enough for fans, but the news that Kenny hadn't exactly played fair made it even worse.

To boost his album sales, Kenny offered a ticket bundle deal for his already-cancelled Chillaxifcation Tour. While the tour had been halted as a result of the pandemic, Kenny was hopeful that he'd be able to hit the road by May 30th, thus offering the sales bundle with the hopes that the tour would be back on soon. However, days after securing the No. 1 spot, Kenny postponed the tour once more until 2021, essentially scheming his way into more album sales by offering a bundle for a tour that would not be happening anytime soon.

Following a lengthy and successful musical career that elevated him into a genuine fan favorite, it’s fair to say that A$AP Ferg is doing quite well for himself. Today, Ferg teamed up with Architectural Digest as the latest host of the ongoing “Home Tour” series, a premise that delivers exactly what it promises. Taking a moment to film a brief tour of his New Jersey home, the Hood Pope breaks down some of his finest art pieces, tells a few stories, and more — all while giving us a first-hand look at the lavish life of luxury so often enjoyed by hip-hop’s elite.

Though he has only been situated at the house for about a year, Ferg has already made it decidedly his own. “It’s different from being an inner-city kid,” he admits. “It’s quiet, all the noise is cut off. When I’m traveling the world and meeting all these people, shaking hands, I’m on stage all the time, it’s always cool to come back to a house that’s real chill, tranquil. This is my safe haven right here.”

He also showcases a few of his favorite art pieces, a collection that includes several custom paintings, authentic African masks, a machete from Liberia, and much more. His dining room is equally impressive, with his table custom made by an artist he discovered on Instagram. The entire house is nothing short of stunning, and it’s no wonder Ferg is so eager to throw the fireplace on, lounge on his couch, and simply catch a vibe. Check out the entire tour below.

Justin Bieber has officially postponed his 2020 Changes tour in light of the coronavirus pandemic. As the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. and Canada persists, Bieber and his team decided it was best to reschedule all of the dates on his North American tour, which was set to kick off on May 14th in Seattle. “In light of the current public health crisis,” Bieber’s team announced in a statement, “and with the deepest concern for all those being affected, Justin Bieber will be postponing all currently scheduled 2020 dates for The Changes Tour.”

“While Justin—along with his band, dancers, and crew—has been hard at work preparing an amazing show, he has always put the health and well-being of his fans first and foremost,” the statement continues. “Justin is anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get back out on the road and perform in a space that is safe for everyone.”

The tour includes 45 stops across the United States and Canada, with a closing show in East Rutherford, New Jersey originally scheduled for September 26th. While the dates have all been postponed, previously purchased tickets will be honoured. “[Justin] asks that his fans hold on to their tickets, as they will be honoured as soon as the dates are rescheduled,” reads the statement. “Information on rescheduled dates will be forthcoming soon.” Justin had previously been forced to downsize the venues of several shows on the stadium tour as a result of low ticket sales. His team claimed that “unforeseen circumstances” caused them to relocate some shows to arenas, as the weak turnout occurred in markets in which tickets went on sale just days before coronavirus hit the U.S.

Some of the remaining dates on the 2020 Millennium Tour featuring acts like Omarion, Bow Wow, Ashanti, Soulja Boy, and more, have officially been rescheduled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Bow Wow shared the news Instagram, noting that tickets are still on sale for later dates, and that all previously purchased tickets will be honoured.

“MILLENNIUM TOUR UPDATE!!!” the rapper wrote on the post. “We are working hard everyday and will continue to update you with the latest news! Stay safe and we will be back before you know it! Thank you for your patience. Tix are still available for purchase! DONT FORGET HOLD ON TO YOUR TIX IF PURCHASED THEY WILL BE GOOD TO USE AT NEW DATES!” The tour’s producer, G-Squared Events, also shared an official statement on their website regarding the status of the remaining dates.

“Due to unprecedented circumstances surrounding the coronavirus, some tour dates are in the process of being rescheduled with announcements to follow soon,” the statement reads. “We will continue to work with the appropriate state and local authorities and our venue partners to provide a safe and healthy environment at each tour stop. During this time, we ask for your patience. As each day develops, we will continue to plan accordingly and ultimately determine the best course of action. Our commitment is to keep you posted on a regular basis. Thanks for your understanding.” Omarion first announced the 2020 instalment of the tour back in November, following the success of the first round alongside his B2K bandmates earlier that year. However, the exclusion of B2K from the 2020 Millennium Tour caused quite the controversy. The rescheduled dates for the 2020 Millennium Tour are as follows:

JPEGMAFIA, or Peggy, for short, has been slowly building up one of the strongest fan bases in the music industry, and he’s doing it organically. His most recent endeavor is a short film series titled How To Build A Relationship. Part 1 of this series was only 15-minutes long, but was jampacked with content. Most notable was the conversation with the fan-favorite Danny Brown – who spends most of the scene reminiscing how “cold” his bars used to be. The two of them discussed leaving a legacy and how being authentically themselves has helped them do so. The conversation happens over a few glasses of wine, so it is funny throughout.  

The latest installment of How To Build a Relationship opens up with Peggy giving an autotune-heavy rendition of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” to hundreds of fans at what appears to be a sold-out show. Throughout the 25-minute episode, Peggy shares insight into his life and childhood. We see clips from several live shows intertwined with clips of him describing childhood photos. “I don’t know who dressed me in this shit, but… Why?“, he asks after sharing one of the photos. 

The episode ends similarly to the last, but instead of talking with Danny Brown, Peggy invites another one of his musical inspirations, Lykke Li, a Swedish singer-songwriter. Again, the conversation is light and casual but dense in nature. The stand out might be DJ Dahi telling the Swedish artist that she’s singing “out of pocket”, which helped her realize the importance of vocal rhythms to a listener. 

Andy King was the unsung hero of the Fyre Festival documentary that dropped on Netflix last year. His loyalty to the festival and his boss, Billy McFarland, was hilarious but also well-received by audiences. The documentary was already going to be huge on social media, but Andy discussing what he almost did in order to secure some water bottles put it over the edge. 

The sincerity in which King commented on the situation had him go viral, but not necessarily for the wrong reasons. Recently, Andy King announced that he would be using his new-found “fame” to hold tour dates. In an aptly titled “Fyre-side Chats with Andy King” series, King will be touring from city to city sharing his story with audiences, while also conducting Q&A’s at every location. Like many of the others that were working on the Fyre Festival, he wasn’t proud of the way things turned out, however, he is now hoping to leverage that low point of his career into something much more important. 

King also plans to launch a production sustainability initiative, which would help give more opportunities for future generations. If you thought the Fyre Festival was done… you were right, but Andy King won’t let us forget without trying to make something good out of it. 

Justin Bieber and his team made the "hard decision" of downsizing eight stops on his Changes 45-date stadium tour to instead take place in arena locations, after the Coronavirus scare appears to have had a negative effect on ticket sales in select markets. Justin first announced the Changes tour on Christmas Eve, far ahead of the release of the title project, which marks his first album in five years. While there was no indication of the venue changes on Justin's official social media accounts, eight arenas in different cities across the United States announced that his show had been moved to their venue from the initial stadium location due to "unforeseen circumstances."

A few recent videos captured at a Post Malone concert are going viral for the wrong reasons, showing the world-famous performer in the middle of his emotive hit "I Fall Apart," seemingly losing his footing and rolling around on stage while still blurting out the lyrics. People are using the clips as "proof" that the singer should be seeking help, either for alcohol or substance abuse, but the people closest to Malone say he's really just vibing out.

The viral video shows Post Malone singing to the crowd of thousands on his knees before he clumsily stumbles and continues singing while laying on his side. He then gets back to a crouching position and screams his lyrics, which could be unnerving to anybody who has not been to this man's concert before.

All things considered though, this is just the way that Post Malone is. He brings that energy to his stage show every night and the people that are closest to him are not worried about anything going on in the clip. Commenting on DJ Akademiks' post, Malone's manager chimed in. 

"All Vibez," said Dre London, co-signing DJ Carnage's message that the Texas-raised rapper was just having fun. 

Post Malone is an avid beer drinker, and some are pointing to his alcohol consumption for the behaviour in this video. We're going to say that he was just feeling himself a little hard and decided to get extra emotional for the performance.

Imagine a tour with Rick Ross, T.I., Lil’ Kim, Jeezy, Boosie Badazz, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, and more… It seems too good to be too but that’s legitimately happening very soon. All of your favourite Southern drug rap kingpins are teaming up for the Feed The Streetz tour, hitting the road for some star-studded shows across the country this Spring.

Pegged as the “Living Legends” leg of the tour, each one of these artists is still very much active in the game today. Kicking off in Atlanta, the billing will include the following rappers: Rick Ross, Jeezy, T.I, Yo Gotti, Lil’ Kim, and Boosie Badazz. DJ Drama is being touted as a special guest and, on select dates, 2 Chainz will also be hitting the stage. I don’t know about y’all but, with that line-up, any price of admission is worth it.

While this isn’t exactly being marketed as a nostalgic affair, it will certainly attract a specific group of rap fans.

Doja Cat will be hitting the road this spring for her North American headlining Hot Pink tour, making stops in 14 different cities including performances at Coachella for both weekends. The rising star’s popularity has kept on growing and growing ever since she went viral for her oddly charming, cow-themed “Moo” video, and with the release of her sophomore studio album, Hot Pink, she’s seen even more success than ever before.

After performing the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night, Doja dropped the visuals for “Say So,” which took the dreamy disco aesthetic of her late night set to a whole new level. “Say So” was made popular on Tik Tok, after a user named Haley Sharpe invented a dance routine to the airy track that went viral and led to Haley making a cameo in the visuals to show off her choreography. Now, Doja is taking her talents around the country (with one show in Canada), making her first stop on the Hot Pink tour in Chicago on March 25th.

Doja will then make her way from the East Coast to the West, with opening acts Ashnikko and Big Klit performing on select dates. The artist will travel from Austin, Texas, to Coachella Valley for the first weekend of the music festival on April 10th-12th. Remaining in California, Doja will make stops in Los Angeles and San Francisco before heading back to the desert for Coachella Weekend 2.
