Radiohead Ignite New Release Speculation After Forming Fresh Legal Entity
A new release from Radiohead could be on the way, if a historical trend of new legal entities is to be believed. According to the British Government's Companies House agency, the five members of Radiohead established a new limited liability partnership under the name RHEUK25 LLP on Monday (March 10). An LLP is a legal business entity which allows the band to exist and conduct their own dealings outside of the typical framework of a record label.

In 2007, the group prefaced the release of In Rainbows with the creation of Xurbia Xendless Ltd., which was followed by Ticker Tape Ltd. ahead of The King Of Limbs' arrival in 2011, while 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool was rumored after the discovery of the Dawn Chorus LLP. It's not just restricted to Radiohead's movements as a whole, with frontman Thom Yorke having been a part of Unsustainabubble Ltd. in 2010 before Atoms for Peace released their solo album in 2013, with the partnership also being used for his later solo releases. In 2021, Self Help Tapes LLP was incorporated before the release of The Smile's debut album, and has since been used for their subsequent releases. The most recent partnership to be created with all five members of Radiohead was Spin With a Grin Ltd., which arrived ahead of their 2021 reissue of Kid A and Amnesiac, dubbed Kid A Mnesia. It should be noted though, the nascent establishment of RHEUK25 LLP also coincides with the anniversary of Radiohead's second album, The Bends, which was released 30 years ago on Thursday (March 13). Currently, it's unknown whether the new LLP could be related to new music or a potential reissue. Radiohead haven't released a new studio album since 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 at the time. Band members have remained active since, with Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood teaming with Tom Skinner to craft The Smile. On Tuesday (March 11), Yorke also announced a collaborative album with Mark Pritchard, with Tall Tales slated to arrive on May 9. Speaking to Australian radio station Double J ahead of his Australian tour last year, Yorke noted his ignorance of online speculation regarding the band's future. 'I am not aware of it and don't really give a flying f–k,' Yorke said. 'No offence to anyone and err, thanks for caring. But I think we've earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else's historical idea of what we should be doing.'

Lil Yachty Slams Black Lives Matter Organization: ‘BLM Is a Scam'
Lil Yachty didn't hold back when asked about his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter organization. The Atlanta rapper slammed BLM during an appearance on Quenlin Blackwell's Feeding Starving Celebrities cooking series earlier this week. 'BLM is a scam,' Yachty replied when asked about his philanthropic endeavors in recent years. 'BLM was literally a scam.'

Send it to the f—ing news!' Lil Boat went on to reference reports of BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors purchasing a $6 million mansion in Los Angeles with alleged funds supporting the organization in 2020. 'They had bought mansions,' he proclaimed. Cullors explained the estate purchase to The Associated Press in 2023, saying at the time, 'We really wanted to make sure that the global network foundation had an asset that wasn't just financial resources. And we understood that not many Black-led organizations have property. They don't own their property.' In 2022, the Black Lives Matter Global Network faced further scrutiny when the organization's leader Shalomyah Bower was accused of misusing funds and reportedly stealing $10 million in donations. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation responded to Yachty when reached for comment by Fox News. 'It's clear Lil Yachty has been drinking the white supremacist ideology Kool-Aid. His comments are wrong,' the organization said in a statement. 'They are misinformed, unoriginal, and crafted to please the same people who profit from Black suffering.' The organization continued: 'The real scam isn't Black Lives Matter. It is watching Black artists with massive platforms recycle the same tired attacks on Black movements while ignoring the actual systems killing us. Black Lives Matter has supported Black families who have lost loved ones to police violence. We have built programs, funded mutual aid, and fought in courtrooms and on the streets to protect our people.' Lil Yachty wasn't the first rapper to call Black Lives Matter a scam; Ye — formerly Kanye West — also referred to the organization as a scam in a post to his Instagram Story in 2022. 'EVERYONE KNOWS BLACK LIVES MATTER WAS A SCAM,' he wrote. 'NOW IT'S OVER YOU'RE WELCOME.' Watch the full episode below. Yachty's remarks on BLM take place shortly after the 32-minute mark.
