The St. Louis MC went through some of her biggest hits, and while it wasn't her most impressive showing, the crowd was quite electric.

Sexyy Red is having a ball right now: recent live performances at events like Dreamville Fest, new material, and a whole lot of fan hype (despite some "beef" with an allegedly fake cousin). While a lot of people are starting to want something more from her, she was still no less electric when she gave folks a show at Club LIV in Miami, presumably over this past weekend. Moreover, the St. Louis MC offered a barefoot rendition of some of her biggest hits in an uncharacteristically blue outfit. From the passionately screamed lyrics coming from attendees' mouths you can hear in the clip below, you can tell it was a pretty fun time.

Furthermore, Sexyy Red has a lot to promote and celebrate at the moment, including a highly teased remix of Nicki Minaj's "FTCU" that dropped to fan acclaim. Every fanbase involved in this new version had some great things to say about it, although it wasn't perfect reception across the board (but then again, what is?). Travis Scott got some props from the Barbz and Chris Brown fans commended his rapping skills. Considering how this career trajectory's looked like up to this point, we can only expect more big remixes and collabs in the near future.

However, the 26-year-old has never forgotten the journey she endured to get here, whether its peaks or its valleys. For example, she recently responded to a fan who shared one of her first-ever music videos: a diss against her cheating boyfriend that's a flip of Vanessa Carlton's classic "A Thousand Miles" tilted "Ah Thousand Jugs." "Neva give up ya time comin," Sexyy Red responded to her throwback music video. It's certainly important advice for anyone that's on a grind with goals in mind, and she's now an example of how that belief can manifest into something massive.

Meanwhile, the Hood Hottest Princess might not have guaranteed longevity just yet, but she's certainly on a right path that will be hard to knock off-course. After all, the one and only Drake dubbed her the GOAT on her birthday earlier this month. We'll see what other big moves, releases, and public appearances keep fueling this fire.

She's been discussing some major artistic changes recently.

Coi Leray already has two commercial projects under her belt. Between them she's racked up some pretty significant hits like "Players" and made a name for herself in hip-hop. After her album Coi underperformed despite having a smash hit single when it dropped last year, she may be looking for a new direction in her next project. That's why she recently took to Twitter to talk directly to some of her fans that are obsessed with her current persona and don't want her to change.

In the post, she asked for room to grow. "I feel like some of my fans in there mind won’t allow me to get older and grow. They are attached to baby Coi with the braids, but it’s okay to grow up. It’s okay to get older," her tweet reads. She replied to a response from a fan specifically mentioning her braids and that fans of them wouldn't be completely left out in the cold. "Oh no baby, I’m getting braids this week my hair is finally grown out. But as I GROW into a women, I’m learning and discovering new things about myself. New desires new interest , new icks, new Melodie’s , new flows, new topics ect," a follow-up tweet reads. Check out the full interaction below.

Coi Leray Wants Space To Grow

Coi Leray has been talking about change a lot recently. Just last week she was again on Twitter teasing fans with what could be next for her artistically. In a different tweet she claimed she wanted to change her artist name to just "Coi." Plenty of fans in the comments took issue with the change and tried to point out how much that liked her full current name.

Over the past two weekends the "Baby Don't Hurt Me" rapper made her debut at Coachella. What do you think of Coi Leray claiming that she needs the space to grow up without fans attached to her persona? What new directions do you hope she explores artistically going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.

DJ Akademiks Ignites More Drake & Kendrick Lamar Diss Speculation With Announcement

While Ak's been firmly on the OVO train all throughout this beef, perhaps this tease relates to his insistence on K.Dot to drop ASAP.

The Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef has so far surprised fans every step of the way: we're two Drizzy disses in with a Rick Ross response, a Kanye West tag-in, and no word from Kendrick... yet. Moreover, it seems like any theory that fans on either side have about what will happen next is equally likely of falling flat on its face within the next hour. We're also talking about the biggest rappers in the world right now, so everyone is watching this go down on the biggest stage possible with no indication that they're afraid of slowing down (well, except for J. Cole). What's more is that a recent tweet from DJ Akademiks this morning (Monday, April 22) indicates that April's developments might not be over yet.

"[Three bomb emojis] loading.." DJ Akademiks tweeted earlier today. "Big Ak Exclusive Alert [siren emoji]!! Stay tuned." While this could relate to a whole lot of different topics in the rap game, it's hard not to assume that it will relate to the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle. After all, he's been covering it extensively and from aboard the OVO hype train. While Ak by no means counted K.Dot out yet, he's leaning more heavily into pro-Drizzy sentiments, likely because there's just more to talk about there.

But DJ Akademiks will also take out some time to give credit where it's due, and one example from a recent stream this month relates to Drake's mention of Kendrick Lamar's wife, which he thinks could be very dangerous for the former. "Drake... you did the same thing twice now," he explained. "You mentioned Virginia Williams or whatever, Pusha T's wife. And you saw that n***a took the gloves off, and we saw what happened.

"You mentioned Whitney, and Kendrick Lamar's wife's name is Whitney," the media personality continued. "You have to be prepared for anything! There is no, 'Oh, nah, I can't believe you said that.' No! 'Cause you're talking crazy already, too. This is a knock-them-out slugfest, this is no holds barred, this is, 'I don't care what that n***a says!' He could expose..." We'll have to see what he potentially exposes if this develops into a pgLang response soon.

Haeyoon, Jiwon, Remi and May have also left the label, while the remaining members have opted to stay under FNC Entertainment for individual projects

Cherry Bullet has officially disbanded, the girl group’s agency FNC Entertainment has confirmed.

FNC Entertainment announced the news in a statement on fan community platform Weverse today (April 22). The K-pop agency said that Cherry Bullet – comprising Haeyoon, Yuju, Bora, Jiwon, Remi, Chaerin and May – will “officially conclude their activities as a group as of today after much thought and discussion”.

It added that members Haeyoon, Jiwon, Remi and May have decided to terminate their contracts with the company and will part ways with thelabel. Meanwhile, remaining members Yuju, Bora and Chaerin have opted to continue “their individual careers as artists under FNC Entertainment”.

FNC Entertainment apologised to fans for the “unexpected news”. “We cherished the love and support you’ve given the members so far. Please continue supporting them as they walk a new path, although not as Cherry Bullet, as they are about to start anew,” it added.

Kid Cudi’s Coachella set ends early after breaking his foot

The rapper jumped off the stage to get closer to his fans, resulting in the injury

Kid Cudi‘s set at Coachella 2024 came to an abrupt end on Sunday after the rapper broke his foot during the performance.

Kid Cudi made his return to the California festival for the first time since 2019, performing a set at the Sahara Tent that was announced as a last-minute addition to Coahcella last week.

During the set, Kid Cudi jumped off the stage to get closer to his fans at the barricades, but broke his foot in the process during ‘Memories’. He was carried out of the Sahara Tent while his DJ played Steve Aoki’s remix of ‘Pursuit Of Happiness’.

Cudi wrote on social media shortly after the incident: “Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. Just leavin’ the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”

 

 

The severity of Cudi’s injury is not yet known, nor is his recovery time. Before the injury, Cudi performed two songs live for the first time: ‘MOON MAN SHIT’ and ‘BLUE SKY’. He also performed songs such as, ‘Tequila Shots’, ‘Sad People’, ‘Superboy’ and more.

Kid Cudi last performed at the festival in 2019, when he closed out the Sahara Tent and brought out Kanye West as a guest performer. During his 2019 set, Cudi paid tribute to late rappers Mac Miller and Nipsey Hustle.

The rapper is due to tour North America with Pusha T between June and August this year, followed by the same tour in Europe and the UK early next year. It is currently unknown if the injury will affect the North American tour dates.

January saw the Ohio rapper release his 10th studio album ‘INSANO’– a more trap-inspired record that included verses from Lil WayneLil YachtyPharrell and Travis Scott – before he dropped the LP’s sequel  ‘INSANO (Nitro Mega)’ in February; taking a more experimental and alternative route assisted by the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Layzie and Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs ‘n’ Harmony and Pusha T. The two records mark Cudi’s final albums as part of his Republic Records deal.

Shortly after the release of ‘Nitro Mega’, Cudi took to X/Twitter to tell fans he would be taking a break from music and to expect new music “every other year.” “My next album is already about 80 per cent done, and it’ll be out in 2026,” he wrote. As always, we’re takin’ it someplace new. Just wanted to let y’all know, expect an album from me every other year. Next year is all about filmin’. Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done. Film and TV. So I take a year off of music to do it all.”
