Megan Thee Stallion brings out Queen Latifah and Ciara amid tech issue during Coachella headline set
Megan Thee Stallion's headline performance at Coachella on Sunday night briefly paused due to a microphone issue. Approximately 20 minutes into her set, the rapper called out for assistance when her mic dislodged from her outfit mid-performance.
'Somebody come out here and fix my mother******* mic,' she said, prompting a crew member to quickly step onstage and assist. Megan thanked the technician and resumed her performance without further disruption.
The set, which began with popular tracks such as 'Savage,' maintained momentum despite the technical hiccup. Roughly 25 minutes into her set, she welcomed Queen Latifah onstage, receiving an enthusiastic response from the audience. Victoria Monét also appeared during the performance.
Later in the evening, Megan was joined by Ciara, and the duo performed the 2004 hit 'Goodies.' Their collaboration added to the series of guest appearances that defined the energetic set. Between performances, Megan addressed the crowd with encouragement, saying, 'If you love your body make some mother****** noise,' before starting her track 'Body.'
The performance featured multiple wardrobe changes, and at several points, the artist adjusted her footwear before switching to a different pair. She performed live over backing tracks while participating in choreographed routines with her dancers, demonstrating her physical stamina throughout the set.
As her time slot drew to a close, Megan extended her set slightly before concluding abruptly. 'I gotta go. I love y'all so much, thank y'all. See y'all next weekend!' she told the audience as she exited the stage.
Reactions from fans online praised her stage presence and stamina. 'The energy required for all this rapping and ass shaking is wild. Megan is doing an excellent job,' one viewer wrote. Others highlighted the historic collaborations, with comments such as 'Queen Latifah and Megan Thee Stallion together at Coachella? Legendary!'

Addison Rae releases debut album Addison with introspective pop anthems and bold artistic statement
Addison Rae has officially entered the pop music spotlight with the release of her highly anticipated self-titled debut album, Addison, out today (June 6). The album arrives nearly a year after her viral single 'Diet Pepsi' and marks a turning point in Rae's creative evolution — from TikTok star to a fully realized pop artist. The 12-track album features no guest appearances and includes two interludes. Rae co-wrote every song alongside collaborators Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, giving the project a deeply personal touch. As reported by Billboard's Lyndsey Havens and Josh Glicksman, the album's strength lies in Rae's balance of vulnerability and boldness, embracing the duality of fame and self-discovery. Over the past year, Rae has expanded her presence in music through high-profile performances with Charli XCX and Troye Sivan on the Sweat Tour, as well as an appearance with Charli and Arca at Coachella. During her Coachella set, Rae revealed the album's release date by showing 'June 6' written on her underwear — a bold nod to her flair for theatrics and personal branding. Despite her rising profile, Rae has described Addison as both her 'first and last album,' suggesting the project may stand alone as a personal and artistic milestone. On her website, this phrasing appears beneath each version of the album (CD, vinyl, and box set). Whether or not Rae continues down this path, Addison captures a pop star unafraid to reflect, experiment, and be heard. With its blend of introspection, fun, and stylistic clarity, Rae's debut leaves its mark — and listeners pressing repeat.

WATCH: Dan Reynolds waves Palestinian flag at Milan concert during Imagine Dragons tour
Dan Reynolds, lead singer of Imagine Dragons, drew widespread attention during the band's recent concert in Milan by draping a Palestinian flag over his shoulders onstage—a gesture that prompted cheers from the audience but has since sparked mixed reactions online. The flag was reportedly thrown onto the stage during the May 27 performance. Reynolds picked it up, held it aloft to loud applause, and then placed it around his shoulders as the band continued playing. Videos of the moment quickly went viral on platforms like TikTok, X, and Instagram, shared widely by pro-Palestinian accounts such as @humantiproject and photojournalist Motaz Azaiza. The move marks a notable shift for the band, which faced criticism in 2023 for performing in Israel and Azerbaijan despite public calls for boycotts. At the time, many fans and human rights advocates urged the group to cancel those shows. Reynolds defended their decision in a 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, stating, 'I don't believe in depriving our fans… because of the acts of their leaders and their governments,' calling such choices a 'slippery slope.' Now, the Milan concert gesture is being interpreted by some as a possible reconsideration of that stance, while others view it as symbolic but lacking follow-through. You know it's moments like these where I genuinely don't know what to do with myself anymore... I actually really liked Imagine Dragons, But now it seems they genuinely hate my people. It's disgusting how people still view Palestine as a moral virtue when it's all a myth. — Thunder Kid🎗️ (@ThunderKidOG) May 29, 2025 The incident comes amid rising global scrutiny of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. As public awareness grows, artists are increasingly expected to take a stand on political and humanitarian issues. Imagine Dragons now joins a growing list of musicians—such as Green Day, who recently expressed solidarity during their Coachella set—who are visibly engaging with the issue of Palestine amid ongoing conflict and calls for international attention.

Megan Thee Stallion unfollows GloRilla after IG story featuring Tory Lanez track
Tensions may be rising in the hip-hop world as Megan Thee Stallion has reportedly unfollowed fellow rapper GloRilla after she posted a video to her Instagram story featuring a Tory Lanez track. In the now-viral story, GloRilla shared a heartfelt message while Lanez's music played in the background: 'I'm forever grateful for the heart I have, the way I love, the way I treat people, my pure intent. It's all a blessing.' The timing and choice of music drew immediate attention, especially as Megan continues to face online harassment stemming from the 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. Lanez was convicted in 2022 for assaulting Megan and is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence. Fans were quick to notice that Megan no longer follows GloRilla on Instagram, sparking speculation about a falling out between the two rappers. Social media users debated whether GloRilla's post was a subtle show of support for Lanez or simply a personal message unrelated to the case. this is so disappointing Glorilla wtf — angola hills (@somebadbadnews) May 21, 2025 Glorilla has unfollowed Megan thee stallion😭😭 — BoujeeCvnt (@BoujeeNcvnt) May 22, 2025 The unfollow comes just days after SZA spoke out in support of Megan, calling out the 'bullying' the Houston rapper has endured. Megan herself recently slammed ongoing efforts to discredit her, insisting, 'At what point are y'all gonna stop making me relive being shot by Tory?' Neither Megan nor GloRilla have publicly commented on the unfollow, but the move has fueled ongoing conversations about loyalty and division within the hip-hop community.
