PinkPantheress Goes ‘Stateside' With Her New Single: Stream It Now
PinkPantheress was born in Bath, England, and raised in Kent, but on Friday (April 25), she came 'Stateside' for her latest single.
'Stateside' arrives three weeks after 'Tonight,' the lead single from her upcoming mixtape, Fancy That, which is out May 9 via Parlophone and Warner Records. The club anthem, which samples Panic! At the Disco's 2008 track 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?,' hit No. 5 on Hot Dance/Pop Songs and No. 25 on Bubbling Under Hot 100. She joked that Doechii 'chewed' her up when performing the 'Tonight' dance backstage at H&M's inaugural music festival in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Fancy That will include seven more songs, but in a Reddit thread last week, the English singer-songwriter-producer said 'Stateside' and 'Illegal' were the songs she enjoyed creating the most. 'I really wanted to make music where it sounds like a statement is being made with the songs. I feel like that was what appealed to me, and it's something that I wanted to take on board,' she said in her Mixmag cover story in March, adding that listening to Fatboy Slim and Groove Armada while making the project inspired 'the size of the music.'
Fancy That is PinkPantheress' first project in two years since she dropped her debut studio album, Heaven Knows, which peaked at No. 61 on the Billboard 200. The 'Boy's a Liar' hitmaker dropped her debut mixtape To Hell With It back in 2021, and it reached No. 73 on the Billboard 200.

How Lil Wayne Became The Kobe Bryant of Rap
On Friday (June 6), Lil Wayne continued his beloved decade-spanning series, Tha Carter, with the installment's sixth entry. With a career built on longevity, evolution and unrelenting dominance, Wayne's career arc is rare, but similar to that of another cultural titan: the Black Mamba, the late NBA great Kobe Bryant. Kobe defied physics with his aerial acrobatics and rim-rocking jams. Wayne trounced his competition with punishing punchlines and steely wordplay. More from Billboard Chappell Roan Did the Viral 'Apple' Dance During Charli xcx's Primavera Sound Set: 'Love You B-ch!' 50 Years Ago, Elton John Became First Artist to Enter Billboard 200 at No. 1 - Just How 'Fantastic' Was the Feat? New Jersey Man Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Heart Instruments Like Wayne, Bryant's early beginnings were rocky. Drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA Draft, a 17-year-old Bryant was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac. Bryant, who was a heralded high school phenom at Lower Merion in Philadelphia, was relegated to the bench his rookie season, backing up Eddie Jones. His minutes were inconsistent. He averaged a putrid six points per game. He shot four airballs in a crucial playoff game against the Utah Jazz. Lakers head coach Del Harris wasn't keen on playing the rookie, though fans saw the spark. When Bryant showed glimmers of greatness, even in small increments, we stopped and took notice. Wayne's career started earlier than Bryant's. He signed with Cash Money at 11, before dropping Tha Block is Hot at 17. Powered by Juvenile, B.G., and Turk, Wayne was a young upstart, sliding in as an edgy wildcard capable of pouncing on any beat with ruthless intentions. Raw and unpolished, Wayne's swaggering energy was the catalyst for hits like 'Bling Bling' and 'We on Fire.' Before vaulting into superstar territory, Wayne was a quintessential role player, playing alongside starry teammates — most notably, Juvenile. Juvie enjoyed a fruitful run in the late '90s, courtesy of his RIAA-certified 4x platinum album 400 Degreez, and the success of 'Ha' and 'Back That Thang Up.' Like Bryant, who played alongside three all-star caliber talents in Jones, Nick Van Exel and Shaquille O'Neal, Wayne bided his time behind rap vets. But, when Wayne and Bryant's names were called, neither flinched under the bright lights. For both superstars, it wasn't about endorsements and commercials. Their wins didn't happen overnight. They trudged through the mud, battled against rivals, and tried to usurp their idols. Kobe had MJ. Wayne had Jay. Still, their admiration never blurred their undying ambition: Bryant's 'Mamba Mentality' was fueled by obsessiveness. After thousands of hours in the film room, Bryant's level of authority on the court mirrored Wayne's unmatched studio effort. When Bryant delivered masterclasses on how to be clutch, Wayne taught MCs how to be prolific, dropping thousands of songs with charm and wit. Bryant was considered a flashy dunker, a human highlight reel devoid of a jumper. With hard work and dedication, he became a gutsy shot-taker, a five-time NBA champion, and spiritual backbone for a dynasty. As for Wayne, he flipped the script from being a Hot Boy sidekick to a mixtape monster and later a rap icon, all without a pen. Wayne and Bryant scoffed at their respective scouting reports during their rookie years and rewrote their legacies. From Bryant's nine-game streak of 40 points in February 2003 to his sacred 81-point game in January 2006, to even his seven-game winners in the 09-10 season, he was considered the gold standard of the NBA's first decade of the 21st century, while Wayne's Carter series and fiery mixtape run with Da Drought and Dedication simultaneously had him in the Best Rapper Alive category. Kobe chased NBA greatness. Wayne chased lyrical immortality. Different courts. Same mentality.

Kim Kardashian Echoes Rapper Doechii's Message To Donald Trump: 'There Has To Be A Better Way'
Kim Kardashian has joined the growing chorus of voices against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under Donald Trump's administration, ICE has embarked on numerous raids to stop illegal immigration into the country. However, their methods of removing those with roots in America have sparked multiple complaints and ongoing protests in Los Angeles. Kim Kardashian recently lent her voice to the cause, imploring the president to find a more peaceful resolution to the issue. She also reiterated rapper Doechii's powerful message at the 2025 BET Awards, indicating her agreement with her comments about ICE and Donald Trump. The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star addressed the ICE situation on her Instagram Stories, penning a lengthy statement about why she believed the organization was wrong. She acknowledged their mission to protect the country from "violent criminals" but stressed that they were attacking the wrong immigrants. "When we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what's right," Kim declared. She reflected on her childhood in L.A., noting that she saw firsthand how deeply immigrants were crucial to the city's growth and development. Kim noted these people were more than just immigrants, labeling them "neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, and family." She implored fans not to be divided by their political beliefs when "it's clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants." Although Kim did not mention Trump by name, her words seemed directed at the POTUS. She pushed for a positive change in the treatment of immigrants, writing: "We can't turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely. There HAS to be a BETTER way." In a separate post, Kim reposted a video of Doechii's acceptance speech for Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards. The Blast covered the story, reporting the rapper marked her debut at the event with a scathing review of Trump and ICE. She addressed the ongoing L.A. protests and the president's use of military force in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. "I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?" Doechii asked the crowd, implying that Trump was acting like a dictator instead of listening to the cries of his citizens. Doechii slammed Trump and his ICE raids, labeling them "ruthless attacks" that not only incited fear and chaos but also broke families apart. She stressed that the situation was so dire that she felt it was her responsibility to use her platform to fight for "all oppressed people." The list included the Black and Transgender communities, Latinos, and the people in Gaza. The "Anxiety" hitmaker implored other celebrities to stand against injustice, stressing that everyone deserved to "live in homes and not in fear." She concluded her speech by asking others to protest, echoing similar sentiments to . The wife of John Legend slammed Trump as a wannabe King, telling her fans that they needed to join the upcoming protest on June 14. Teigen noted they had to prove that America wasn't a monarchy but a country belonging to its citizens, adding that the president acted "like some of his authoritarian idols." Two years before sharing her stance on ICE, The Blast shared Kim's interest in leaving reality TV to focus on law. Her journey began in 2017 when she pushed for criminal justice reform after learning about the Alice Marie Johnson case. Her work helping inmates regain their freedom and improving prison conditions eventually blossomed into Kim pursuing a career in law. At the 2023 TIME 100 Summit, she claimed her passion for justice had grown significantly to a point where she believed she "would be just as happy being an attorney full-time" as her time as an entertainer. "The journey just really opened up my eyes so much. It gets overwhelming because there's so much to be done," Kim explained. She also recalled changing the perspective of those around her, noting her sister Khloé had an eye-opening experience during their visit to a prison. Despite the numerous challenges, including two failed attempts to pass the baby bar exam, Kim has finally completed her law studies. The Blast covered her celebratory post, reporting that she shared a carousel of images from the big day. The pictures captured Kim with her family, friends, and children, who gathered to mark the realization of her dream to become a lawyer. The TV personality reflected on her journey in the post's caption, noting that it took six years to reach her final destination despite a few hiccups. Kim recalled how some subjects induced "doubt" and "fear," but she scaled these odds triumphantly with a "strength no one can take away." She acknowledged everyone who supported her, claiming it would have been more challenging without their help. The former inmates she helped regain their freedoms also shared kind words at her graduation ceremony.

Doechii Uses BET AWARDS Acceptance Speech To Call Out Donald Trump, X Salutes The Swamp Princess
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty / Doechii Monday night at the Peacock Theater, Doechii wanted to make sure to point out what was happening in the streets of downtown Los Angeles while they celebrated 'culture's biggest night,' at the BET Awards. The Swamp Princess' stellar year continued at the 2025 BET Awards, taking home the award for Best Hip-Hop Artist, but that's not what she was getting praise for. The Florida artist used her acceptance speech moment to remind everyone of what was happening outside the Peacock Theater, away from the celebrating, glitz, and glamour. Donald Trump and his administration are using the full might of the government to terrorize immigrants and American citizens who don't rock with the MAGA agenda. Before BET Weekend kicked off, mostly peaceful demonstrations denouncing the immigration raids of workplaces conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where hardworking immigrants are being detained under the guise of detaining 'dangerous illegal immigrants and gang members,' were conducted by the government agency. Over 40 people were arrested as a result of the raid. LA Mayor Karen Bass said to reporters, ' ICE initiated enforcement actions on several workplaces. That created a sense of chaos, outrage, fear, and terror because people are very worried as to what happened to their families.' The situation was exacerbated when Donald Trump federalized the National Guard without consulting Governor Gavin Newsom, who, under normal circumstances, is in control of the state's National Guard. The Swamp Princess Didn't Miss The Moment To Speak Up For Marginalized People Doechii, unlike some other artists, was not afraid to keep it real (looking at you, Snoop) about what is going on in the streets of LA and possibly across the country. 'I do wanna address what's happening right now outside of the building,' Doechii began. 'There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.' 'What type of government is that?' she asked, drawing huge applause from the crowd. 'People are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people.' She continued, ' For Black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear, and I hope we stand together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate, and we protest against it. Thank you, BET.' Doechii received plenty of praise for using her moment to highlight the struggles that were happening in the streets of Los Angeles. You can see those reactions in the gallery below.
