Juice WRLD's Final Album Debuts — Again
During his lifetime, Juice WRLD only released two proper albums, as well as a few mixtapes. Since his passing in 2019, the hip-hop superstar's estate has released almost as many collections, though it seems that there may be no more full-lengths coming for fans of the emo rapper.
The Party Never Ends was released in November 2024, and the set was marketed as the last to come from Juice, though shortly after his passing, it was revealed that there may be hundreds of songs that were never released, so it is possible that more new music could be shared at some point.
Months after The Party Never Ends hit a number of charts around the world, the set is back on the weekly rankings in the United Kingdom. The project returns to one list and even manages to debut on another as fans continue to buy the project.
The Party Never Ends debuts on the Official Physical Albums chart this week. It comes in at No. 95 on the 100-space ranking of the bestselling EPs and full-lengths on any physical format. Sales of the project on vinyl, cassette, or CD — or any of them combined — can help place a favorite on the roster.
Juice has pushed just two titles to the Official Physical Albums chart, and both of them appeared following his death. Fighting Demons remains his top performer, as it climbed to No. 33 in March 2022. He doubles his total sum as The Party Never Ends arrives.
As it launches on the physical-only tally, The Party Never Ends also reappears on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. On that genre-specific tally, Juice is back at No. 9. That's a new all-time peak on the list for what may very well be the final release from the pioneering musician.
While No. 9 now stands as the highest point ever reached for The Party Never Ends, this is not its first week inside the top 10. Juice's final posthumous project opened at No. 10 in February of this year, then dropped to No. 39 and then disappeared. Now, just a few weeks later, it's back.
When it was new, The Party Never Ends kicked off its time on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.'s list of the most popular full-lengths and short sets in the nation, at No. 5. It managed just four stays on the list before disappearing. The new win gave Juice his third top 10 in the U.K. and his second highest-rising win of his career, including those collections released during his lifetime and since his death.

The disappearance of online safe spaces for children
The earliest virtual world for children was created in 1999. Adam Powell and Donna Williams released Neopets with their original target as university students, yet its popularity soared among a much younger user base. Its brightly colored games, competitions, and ability to socialise with others made it particularly appealing. The golden age of children's online worlds Disney followed suit in 2003, releasing ToonTown online. Shortly after, 2005 saw the release of the iconic Club Penguin, as well as Webkins. Unlike Neopets, Club Penguin and Webkins were intentionally designed for children with colorful graphics, dress-up and customisation features, games, and prizes. They placed importance on internet safety, with reminders to keep your passwords safe and report bullies, as well as implementing safe chat features. Safe chat became a staple as curse words were automatically censored. The success of these sites ushered in a golden age for children's virtual worlds. Wizard 101, Pirate 101, Pop Tropica, Moshi Monsters, Roblox, and Bin Weevils all arrived in the following years, garnering enormous user bases. In 2007, Disney acquired Club Penguin, and in 2009, Sony released Free Realms, both of which helped push the virtual world genre into the mainstream. Brands that were even vaguely marketed towards children had virtual worlds, too. Coca-Cola had 'MyCoke' in which you could earn in-game currency by drinking virtual cokes. An emphasis on safety Despite a rise in expensive memberships, these virtual worlds offered fun and safe environments for children on the internet to play games, dress up, and chat with other people their own age in a monitored environment. Messaging around online safety was targeted to both children and their parents. Often, sites took time to educate parents on the potential dangers their child might face, and how to check in with them, making internet safety a collaborative project between parents and children. The overtake of social media As social media became more popular, the virtual worlds began to fall. Disney shut down ToonTown and Pixie Hollow in 2013. This was put down to a shift in development to focus on mobile apps. Sony's Free Realms shut down in 2014. Panfu, Moshi Monsters, Pirate 101, and, most notably, Club Penguin, all shut down in the 2010s. As subscription numbers dropped off, virtual worlds became too expensive to run, and it became more profitable for brands to target children through influencer marketing and online ad campaigns on social media, rather than spending millions of dollars on dedicated virtual worlds. Websites have consequently transformed, as can be seen on the web design museum website, a treasure trove of sites from the 90s onwards. used to have games, quizzes, and message boards. Now, the website has a few shows to click on and mostly directs users to a subscription to Paramount Plus. Many other sites are similar. for example, was filled with games and printable activities, while now it simply redirects users to a Disney+ subscription or holidays to the resorts. The future of children's spaces online For children, the internet of 2025 looks bleak. Dedicated spaces for them are few and far between, and their easy access to social media sites and apps like TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram is becoming increasingly more concerning. The contrast between what young children can access on these sites and the safer spaces that used to be available is stark. As opposed to being banned from Club Penguin for swearing or bullying, young people are now exposed to a range of harmful material, from pornography to suicide and self-harm content, discriminatory abuse, and hate speech. Governments are taking action Despite the virtual world boom of the 2000s being ultimately a money-grabbing exercise, they at least provided safe and sometimes educational spaces for young people's first foray onto the internet. Now, young people are bombarded with fast fashion hauls, supplements, and unnecessary anti-aging, multistep skincare routines. Governments are taking action, with the UK's Online Safety Act set to be fully implemented by 2026, as well as the Australian ban on under-16s from social media platforms. However, it does make you wonder if there is not a better way. It seems that the idea of creating child-friendly online spaces is falling by the wayside in favour of outright bans.

Snoop Dogg is latest American celebrity to buy a stake in an English Football League club
Snoop Dogg told us long ago that he's got his mind on his money and his money on his mind. Now he's got his mind on using some of that money to become the latest American celebrity to invest in an English Football League team. On Thursday, Welsh club Swansea City announced that the hip-hop legend, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, is joining its ownership group. It was not disclosed what percentage of the club is now owned by Snoop Dogg or how much he invested in the team. The announcement came days after the 'Gin & Juice' rapper helped reveal Swansea City's uniforms for the upcoming season by posing in the new home jersey in a video posted to Instagram. 'My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City,' Snoop Dogg said in a statement released Thursday by Swansea City. 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. 'I'm proud to be part of Swansea City. I am going to do all I can to help the club.' Swansea City plays in the EFL Championship, the league's second tier, which means Snoop Dogg's team will be competing against the likes of Wrexham, which was famously purchased in 2020 by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds), and Birmingham City, which boasts NFL legend Tom Brady as a minority owner. Other famous Americans who own stakes in EFL teams include Lakers superstar LeBron James (Liverpool) and former NFL star J.J. Watt and his wife and former NWSL star Kealia Watt (Burnley). Once a polarizing gangsta rapper and now a beloved pop culture icon, Snoop Dogg has expressed interest in owning a soccer team before. The 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper told the Daily Record in 2012 that he wouldn't mind purchasing a stake in a specific Scottish club. 'I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team,' Snoop Dogg said, 'and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell.' He added: 'The boxes at Celtic would never be the same once I have hosted a party there.' Now Snopp Dogg is finally a club owner, and Swansea City is happy to have him. 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile,' the club said in a statement. 'Snoop's colossal global fanbase and audience will certainly help us do that, and he has made clear to us throughout this process just how excited he is at the prospect of joining the club. ... We expect his involvement to support us putting as competitive a team as possible out on the field.'

Joy Reid accuses ‘cheap, sleazy' Piers Morgan of ambushing her in new interview
Advertisement Former MSNBC host Joy Reid accused Piers Morgan on Wednesday of ambushing her in a new interview and said the British media host was 'obsessed' with race baiting for his 'very white audience.' On her podcast, 'The Joy Reid Show,' Reid laid into Morgan after she was soured by her experience as a guest commentator on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' the day before. Before the contentious interview was set to air on Thursday afternoon, Reid went on the offensive, accusing Morgan of 'luring' her onto his show under the false premise that they would discuss her new YouTube show and the politics of the day. Instead, she said, his team had compiled pre-edited clips, dredged up past controversies, and confronted her with accusations that she was a race baiter. Advertisement 'The interview, which drops [Thursday], was a cheap, sleazy, very Piers Morgan pivot to take the heat off of the right and Trump and put it right where the right needs to be, on the Black lady,' Reid claimed. 4 Joy Reid speaks during the 2024 ESSENCE Festival Of Culture⢠Presented By Coca-Cola® at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on July 07, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Getty Images for ESSENCE Reid said she believed it was important to talk to people on the other side. But she claimed that Morgan's team 'lured' her onto the show with the idea they were going to have a fair discussion about President Donald Trump's policies and other news, as well as her new media show. Reid shared a screenshot of an email as evidence of this. While she said she didn't expect Morgan to strictly stay on those topics, she also didn't expect the host to bring up her controversial blog posts from over 15 years ago or to ask her to respond in real-time to a conservative commentator who allegedly accused her of stoking racial hatred while she was at MSNBC. Advertisement Reid viewed the interview as a racial attack. 4 Reid said that the interview was a racial attack. Piers Morgan Uncensored / YouTube 'This was pre-planned because they had edited pieces ready for it,' she said. 'He never misses an opportunity to play gotcha with Black guests on his podcast, whom he, like other right-wing podcasters, use as fodder to keep their very White audiences angry and paranoid and clicking.' In 2017, Reid's resurfaced blog posts from 2007-2009 containing offensive homophobic remarks and anti-gay jokes made headlines. Advertisement Reid apologized at the time, although she also claimed hackers had placed the offending remarks on her old blog but later admitted she had no evidence that happened. 'Dredging up an eight-year-old story about a 16-year-old blog post is a hell of a way to justify insanely offensive Nazi quoting things that your boy Donald Trump said and fascist actions his regime took like yesterday,' Reid reacted. 'Is that what your show has come to, Piers? Dredging up old news in an effort to make yourself relevant?' Reid claimed Morgan was 'obsessed' with race and that he was forced out of his 'Good Morning Britain' television gig over his 'relentless, endless obsessive hatred of Megan Markle.' 4 Piers Morgan leaves BBC Broadcasting House in London, after appearing on the BBC One current affairs program with Laura Kuenssberg. PA Images via Getty Images 'So, Piers, I did not get fired from MSNBC over ratings, but I would sure rather it be that than being separated from my show after a massive petition and viewers looked at me as a racist creep,' she said. Her guest, Nina Turner, a former Ohio state lawmaker who co-chaired the 2020 presidential run of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was also a guest on the same episode of 'Piers Morgan Uncensored.' Turner ripped the interview as a 'set up.' 'It was a jump. It was a jump on a Black woman. And I agree with you. They're the ones that are preoccupied with race,' she said of conservative media personalities.

Getty Images for ESSENCE Morgan responded to Reid's claims on X. 'BREAKING: I interviewed Joy Reid last night. It did not go well… for Joy Reid. In fact, it went so badly for her that she's already gone public about how terrible it was, and I am. Apparently, I'm obsessed with race & identity politics,' he said with a laughing emoji. Morgan's representatives referred Fox News Digital to his social media comments and said he would address the controversy on his upcoming show.
