Camila Cabello parts ways with longtime manager Roger Gold
Gold, who has managed Cabello since the beginning of her solo career in 2016, guided the artist through her transition from Fifth Harmony to becoming a solo star. He played a key role in her rise, notably during the release of her debut solo single "Havana" in 2017, which became a chart-topping hit. Cabello's success continued with hits such as "Señorita," her collaboration with Shawn Mendes, which also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019.
Before managing Cabello, Gold was instrumental in co-launching the independent label 300 Entertainment, which signed artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Gunna, and Migos. The label was acquired by Warner Music Group in 2021 and later became 300 Elektra Entertainment Group under Atlantic Music Group in 2022.
Cabello's most recent project, her fourth album C,XOXO, peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and marked her first release under Geffen and Interscope after leaving Epic Records, the label where she started her career with Fifth Harmony. In a 2024 Billboard cover story, Gold shared insights into Cabello's artistic journey, emphasizing her commitment to creative freedom, despite the pressures of the music industry.
Gold will continue to manage other clients under Gold Music Management, while Cabello embarks on the next phase of her career without his guidance.

NBA YoungBoy and DJ Khaled drop surprise joint mixtape ‘DESHAWN' this week
Hip-hop fans are in for a surprise as NBA YoungBoy and DJ Khaled have announced a joint mixtape titled DESHAWN, scheduled for release this Tuesday. The 13-track project, named after NBA YoungBoy's middle name 'DeSean,' marks the first collaboration between the prolific Louisiana rapper and the Miami hitmaker. DESHAWN follows closely on the heels of YoungBoy's latest album, Make America Slime Again, which dropped in late July to commercial success, debuting in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. That 30-track album featured collaborations with Playboi Carti and Mellow Rackz, drawing mixed reviews, particularly for its politically charged lyrics. This new release comes during a busy year for YoungBoy, who recently regained his freedom following a presidential pardon from Donald Trump on federal charges. In a statement, the rapper expressed gratitude, calling the pardon 'an opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist.' The mixtape will feature only one guest appearance — fellow Louisiana artist Kevin Gates — a rare move for both YoungBoy and Khaled, who are known for feature-heavy projects. DJ Khaled promoted the release on Instagram, writing, 'NEW MIXTAPE ALERT 🚨 #DESHAWN THIS TUESDAY! This a mixtape…but to me it sound like an album! Bless up!' Given YoungBoy's reputation for high-volume releases — including seven projects in 2022 alone — fans are eager to see how the concise 13-song format shapes DESHAWN. With two powerhouse names involved, the project is already generating significant anticipation.

'KPop Demon Hunters' HUNTR/X makes history as ‘Golden' hits No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
HUNTR/X's "Golden" has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the group the first all-women collective of three or more members to top the chart in 24 years, since Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" in August 2001. The aspirational track, voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, comes from the soundtrack to the hit animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters. It marks the first Hot 100 leader for the group and female K-pop act and the ninth song linked to Korean pop to top the chart. Previous No. 1s in the genre include BTS's six chart-toppers between 2020 and 2021, along with "Seven" by Jung Kook featuring Latto and "Like Crazy" by Jimin in 2023. "Golden" also becomes the first Hot 100 No. 1 by an act with a fictional background since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto, which reigned for five weeks in 2022. During the tracking week of 1–7 August, the single earned 31.7 million official streams in the United States, up 9% from the previous week. It also registered 8.4 million radio airplay audience impressions, a 71% increase, and sold 7,000 downloads, up 35%. The track continues to lead the Billboard Soundtracks chart for a seventh week, solidifying its chance at winning the Oscar for the Best Original Song category for which is has been submitted as a contender. In a rare move for a Netflix release, KPop Demon Hunters will also head to cinemas later this month. Select Regal Theatres will host sing-along screenings on August 23 and 24, marking the first widespread theatrical release of the film.

The Jonas Brothers drop surprise album inspired by childhood and hometown roots
The Jonas Brothers have returned with a brand-new chapter in their music journey, releasing their seventh studio album Greetings From Your Hometown on 8 August. The 14-track record arrives two years after their previous project, The Album, which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2023. This latest release dives into personal territory, blending nostalgic influences and musical styles from their youth. Singles from the album include I Can't Lose, Love Me to Heaven, No Time to Talk, and Slow Motion. First announced four months ago at the brothers' JONASCON event, the project carries a theme of rediscovery and emotional grounding. 'There's something about being home that reminds you who you are,' the trio shared when teasing the album earlier this year. This marks their third studio album since reuniting in 2019 following a nearly decade-long hiatus. Their comeback was launched with Happiness Begins, which featured the global hit Sucker. The split, once shrouded in tension, now seems like a distant memory. Joe Jonas reflected on that period during a recent appearance on Last Meals, saying, 'Now we can communicate way better… we don't need to be scared to have tough conversations.' The album signals a matured sound and a band that has grown both musically and emotionally. Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate the release, with many praising the emotional depth and return to roots. Comments highlight the brothers' evolution while still delivering catchy melodies and polished production. Greetings From Your Hometown is being hailed as a love letter to the past, and a confident step forward into a new era of Jonas Brothers music.
