Young Scooter's Cause of Death Has Been Revealed
The Atlanta rapper, real name Kenneth Bailey, died after puncturing his thigh and losing too much blood as a result of climbing a wooden fence. 'Mr. Bailey sustained a penetrating injury of his right thigh that created marked blood loss. This injury was not a gunshot wound. Mr. Bailey injured himself on organic (wooden) fencing material and/or woody debris after vaulting at least one fence,' the Medical Examiner shared in a statement to Rolling Stone.

Scooter died on Friday night (March 28) on his 39th birthday. That evening, Atlanta Police Lt. Andrew Smith led a news conference to explain what reportedly happened. According to Smith, police responded to a call about a dispute with a weapon at a home in the Lakewood Heights neighborhood of Atlanta. They set up a perimeter outside of the home where the dispute occurred, after a man shut the door on officers. Two men then fled from the house from the back door, though one returned to the house and the other jumping two fences as he was fleeing. Scooter was reportedly the man who jumped the fences, which the Medical Examiner's ruling confirms.
Before the press conference, rumors began to spread that officers shot Scooter, leading to his death. Young Thug, for example, posted on X in a since-deleted post, 'Autopsy came back street got shot,' in reference to the deceased rapper's nickname.
Young Scooter made his name on the Billboard charts as a featured artist on Young Thug's 2016 hit, 'Guwop,' also featuring Quavo and Offset of Migos. The track peaked at No. 45 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. He later featured on Future & Juice WRLD's 'Jet Lag' in 2018, which climbed to No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Cozy Up in Sweet Offseason ‘Adventure' Photos
As we write this story, we're refreshing X to see if Swifties have somehow uncovered an Easter Egg in Travis Kelce's new IG post. On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs player shared a slideshow of (yes, 13) photos from his offseason — and many of them included some sweet moments with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. 'Had some adventures this offseason,' wrote Kelce in his Instagram caption. 'Kept it 100.'

Adam Sandler's Brawling Golf Bro Is Back The opening slide sees the pair posing in matching hats: he wears a 'Captain' cap, she wears 'First Mate,' they're both matching and posing like it might be a seaside date. (Swift points to her hat in the photo, and yes, it's also got us wondering if this is a music-related clue.) One photo shows the two sitting at a dinner table in elegant black. Swift looks away from the camera, holding up black frames, while Kelce stares intently into the lens. His phone appears in the bottom left corner, and on it? (Yes, we zoomed in.) A super-cute selfie of the two of them as a background pic. Another shot captures Kelce and Swift bundled up with friends Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson, and their partners in the middle of the snow, while a third photo shows them on a much beachier getaway. (It's unclear where, but they pose in front of a cave-like rock with five friends, including Ross Travis and Ashley Avignone.) Slides 10 and 13 capture the couple on the same snowy date night, with the final photo in the slideshow showing them giving hockey a try while in ice skates. Several of the Swift-less photos show Kelce singing with his brother Jason, Kelce taking a selfie with his brother and friend in a forest, his dad smoking a cigar from a boat, and a sweet family photo of the Kelce brothers with Momma Donna Kelce. Kelce headed back to training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this week, ahead of the Aug. 9 first game against the Arizona Cardinals. (He's in Happy Gilmore 2 but missed the premiere over the schedule.) As for Swift, we're waiting for a new album after she wrapped the Eras Tour last year.

‘Happy Gilmore 2': Hooray! Adam Sandler's Brawling Golf Bro Is Back
On the rink, he was a tough player who could have used a few skating lessons. On the green, however, Happy Gilmore's killer slap shot helped him score the kind of long drives that could make Mike Austin scream profanity out of frustration. Hockey's loss became golf's gain, and Gilmore's domination on the championship tour gave the PGA a shot of pure rock & roll energy right up its tight, white ass. Not even the furious fists of Bob Barker could slow down Happy's ascent to sports legend. He got the gold jacket, the girl, his grandmother out of that sweat shop of a nursing home — the whole nine. The end. We don't need to tell you that 1996's Happy Gilmore is considered a modern comedy classic, or that it's the hit that turned Adam Sandler from funny guy who was on SNL to full-on movie star. You can likely even quote huge chunks of it, especially if you're a golfing dude of a certain age. And while Sandler's done sequels before, the idea that he'd ever bring back the beer bong-chugging, breast-signing bad boy of the links was a bit of a pipe dream. Only a fairy godmother, or possibly a streaming service with whom Sandler already had a super-lucrative production deal, could grant that wish. More from Rolling Stone Taylor Swift Declares 'Happy Gilmore 2' a 'Must Watch' - Which Happens to Star Travis Kelce Smash Drives, Not Clubs With the New Callaway Golf x 'Happy Gilmore 2' Collab Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Cozy Up in Sweet Offseason 'Adventure' Photos Boom! It only took close to 30 years, but: Wish granted! Happy Gilmore 2 brings us up to speed to what our man has been up to since we last saw him, which is more or less what you'd expect: getting huge endorsements, basking in his godhead status, and raising a family — four rowdy sons who've inherited Dad's gift for violence and dick jokes, and one daughter (Sunny Sandler) — with his wife, former pro-tour PR director Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen). It was all heavenly, until tragedy struck during a game. Then Gilmore flamed out, lost everything, and became a dedicated boozer, making flasks out of everything from cucumbers to cuckoo clocks. He was happy in name only. Thankfully, Gilmore goes to rehab. Never mind that his group is run by the same slimeball who lorded over Grandma's assisted-living residence. (Hi, Ben Stiller!) Happy is determined to get his groove back. Eventually, he overcomes the trauma he now associates with the sport that made him a king, and starts picking up the clubs again. Things start to look up. Except there's this douchebag named Frank Manatee (Benny Safdie, dressed as if he's still in character from The Curse). He watched Gilmore bring that chaos-agent energy to golf when he was a kid. It's inspired him to start a competing league called Maxi, which resembles a cross between American Gladiator, the original XFL, and a Four Loko hangover. Manatee wants Gilmore to join. Happy throws him into a grocery store's lobster tank. (For the record: That's Gilmore's version of replying, 'Thank you, but I must decline your generous offer. I bid you good day, sir!') Regardless, Maxi becomes such a big deal that it threatens the very existence of the PGA. Happy must gather a who's who of contemporary golfing MVPs to take on the various hyped-up players, including a surgically altered dynamo (Haley Joel Osment), to maintain the integrity of the sport. Even Shooter McGavin (god bless you, Christopher McDonald), who's been institutionalized since losing his marbles after his Gilmore's victory decades ago, gets in on the action. That's the story. Which is, naturally, just a convenient excuse for Sandler and his longtime cowriter Tim Herlihy to hang a bunch of reprised gags, deep-cut callbacks to the original movie, and a gajillion celebrity cameos. Per usual, virtually every member of the Sandler family shows up, along with the comedian's longtime friends and colleagues. The soundtrack is pure classic rock and Jock Jams 101. Everyone wants to see the Sandman bring back the worst behavior of his iconic a–hole-in-one character, and even tempered with a bit of sentimental-dad schmaltz, the Gilmore-goes-wild act is still potent. As for Jack Nicklaus making an Arnold Palmer joke to Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny catching a speeding baseball in his mouth, Steve Buscemi peeing into a mailbox, Margaret Qualley doing the splits in a sand trap, and Eminem getting attacked by crazed swamp predators? Those are just bonuses. The rule for sequels is: Give them the same, only different. Happy Gilmore 2 adheres to this concept beautifully, while doling out enough blatant fan service to choke a one-eyed alligator. (R.I.P., Morris.) Trust us, your favorite joke, your favorite line, and/or your favorite character gets an encore, one way or another. A fight in a graveyard doubles as a shout-out to every O.G. cast member who's died in the interim between 1996 and today, including Barker, Frances 'Grandma' Bay, Joe 'Jackass!' Flaherty, Carl Weathers, and the aforementioned toothy reptile. The movie ends the same way the first Happy Gilmore came in, with Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Tuesday's Gone' on full blast. That's not a spoiler. It's an inevitability. The whole shebang works better than you might think, partly because nostalgia is one powerful narcotic and partly because you can't underestimate the sheer pleasure of watching people get repeatedly hit in the nuts with balls. Until we get a sequel to Billy Madison, this will do just fine.

There Is No Concert Like Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico Residency
If Bad Bunny were your standard artist, he could have — and probably would have — orchestrated the kind of tour that guarantees superstardom and an ever-growing fanbase, filling up stadiums across the U.S. and the rest of the globe to rake in more attention and money. But precisely what's made him one of the most beloved and compelling figures in music in recent years is that he's never treated himself like the bottom line — instead, the goal for him has always been to show the world a little bit of Puerto Rico. This is part of the impulse behind 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui,' his 30-date residency in Puerto Rico's famed 18,500-person arena El Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. The idea is not just intriguing from an artistic point of view, but genuinely poignant: Not only is it a celebration of home and roots and tradition, it's an invitation for fans outside of Puerto Rico to truly immerse themselves in the place he comes from. But on top of all of that, the residency is also a muscular three-hour, 30-song marathon, intensely high on spectacle and production, that functions as a full-voiced love letter to his country and his fellow Puerto Ricans. More from Rolling Stone 'Happy Gilmore 2': Hooray! Adam Sandler's Brawling Golf Bro Is Back Bad Bunny, Travis Scott, Saweetie, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico Residency Instantly Sold Out - Here's Where to Find 2025 Tickets Online That love and pride is reciprocal: In San Juan, a day before his show this Friday, bars and cars blasted his music on repeat. Giant murals with his face have gone up in the city; a few others feature Concho, the delightful toad character that's become a staple in videos and promo from his latest album DeBÍ TiRAR MÁS FOTOS, which the show is crafted around. Fans flooded the area outside of El Coliseo, which has turned into a mini-festival block, with food stands and pop-ups, touting flags and jibaro hats before rushing into the arena for the prompt 9 p.m. start time — no one wanted to miss a second of what Benito was about to put out there. Right on time, the lights went out, revealing the decadent stage, designed to look the untouched, undeveloped version of the island's oceans and mountains. Two dancers appeared onstage to talk about the history of Puerto Rico before the percussion of 'ALAMBRE PúA' boomed in. Bad Bunny debuted the song at the first show in the residency earlier this month, and on a Puerto Rican bomba rhythm that's allowed for traditional dancers to take the stage. From there, he bounced between songs from DeBÍ TiRAR MÁS FOTOS, like 'KETU TeCRÉ' and the Christmas cut 'PIToRRO DE COCO.' In between, little video snippets showed Concho the toad talking to Puerto Rican actor and filmmaker Jacobo Morales; both of them have been part of the album's storyline, with Morales playing an old man who has left home for a freezing cold, ice-filled new land and is constantly nostalgic for home. One of the best transitions of the night happens when Concho and Morales are reminiscing about the beaches in Puerto Rico, paving the way for the Puerto Rico band and guests Chuwi to lead the beach-loving chorus of the song 'Welita.' The traditional band Los Pleneros de la Cresta ends the section, giving the audience tons of plena. Also stunning is the range of the show: At one point, Bad Bunny pops up across the arena at a little pink house, known throughout the show as La Casita, and goes into raging house party mode, performing OG classics from his repertoire (like 'Bichiyal' and 'No Me Conoce', plus some of the most charged tracks off DeBÍ TiRAR MÁS FOTOS. Here, the crowd absolutely lost it when Young Miko came out of La Casita for 'Fina.' Following that segment, Bad Bunny remerged on the mainstage, this time with a full salsa band for a sped-up version of 'Callaíta,' and then his chart-topping salsa opus 'BAILE INoLVIDABLE.' For one of the verses, salsa legend Gilberto Santa Rosa came out, sending the audience into absolute chaos. At 62, the salsa bandleader sounded sharp as ever, leaving fans with a rendition of 'La Agarro Bajando' that left everyone screaming for an encore. Throughout the show, Bad Bunny reminded Puerto Ricans that so much of the magic of these shows comes directly from them (the first nine performances, save for some media invites, have been designed specifically for residents-only.) As the residency opens up to more tourists in later weeks, it's clear that the specific alchemy of Puerto Rico's spirit is going to be what creates once-in-a-lifetime experiences for attendees. The performance, yes, is undeniably powerful, but it's all mixed in with the energy and intimacy of being on the island and seeing so much of the experience behind the music firsthand. As the final thrum of 'LA MuDANZA' piped into close the show, Bad Bunny reminded Puerto Ricans that this was possible because of them, and he's done this all for them. Parting words came from bandleader and percussionist Julito Gastón as he exited the stage: 'Nunca paren de tocar su tambor.' 'Never stop beating your own drum.'
