Grammy-nominated singer Jaheim charged with 6 counts of animal cruelty
Grammy-nominated singer Jaheim charged with 6 counts of animal cruelty Show Caption Hide Caption Animal rescue euthanizes badly abused dog A badly-abused dog that was being cared for by an animal rescue in the Phoenix area has been euthanized. Fox - 10 Phoenix Grammy-nominated R&B artist Jaheim is facing multiple animal cruelty charges, according to jail records and court documents. The "Just in Case" singer, whose full name is Jaheim Hoagland, was charged with six counts of animal cruelty in connection with a May 1 arrest, Fulton County Jail records show. The 47-year-old singer's arrest comes after he was reported various times for the unsanitary conditions he allegedly kept his dogs, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by USA TODAY. He has a 2021 third-degree animal cruelty case in New Jersey, in which he is alleged to have kept 15 dogs in his home with "deplorable conditions," the court document says. Hoagland was taken to Fulton County Jail for his current charges, but he was released on May 2 after posting a $35,000 bond. As of May 29, it is unclear if Hoagland has a defense attorney. How did Jaheim become a suspect of animal cruelty? One incident mentioned in the affidavit occurred on April 27 and involved Fulton County Animal Control officers receiving a call about a malnourished dog roaming through a parking lot in Buckhead. The officers left when Hoagland allegedly approached them in an "aggressive manner" and said they're not "taking the dog," as he was just "outside doing work on the RV." The following day, the officers returned and encountered Hoagland, who was recording them and saying that they "were on private property and this was harassment," according to the affidavit. When the officers explained to the singer that they had received a call about his dog, Hoagland became "irate," refused to identify himself and obstructed the officers' view of the canine. Once officers identified Hoagland, they asked him about the dog, to which the singer explained that his canine's current body state was because he was only 11 months old, but he said he feeds him regularly, according to the affidavit. When Hoagland took the dog out of its kennel, the officers noticed it was "severely emaciated and his rib cage was protruding through the skin," the court document continued. The officers gave Hoagland a written warning, but said they would return to obtain veterinarian records and reassess the dog. After leaving the area, the officers discovered that the phone number given to them was the number of a relative and not Hoagland's, the affidavit says. Puppies found in Jaheim's RV taken to shelter after police search Fulton County police found Hoagland and his RV in a separate Buckhead parking lot on May 1, and after conducting a search warrant of the vehicle, they took him into custody, the affidavit reads. During the search of the RV, six dogs were located, including a 10-week-old pit bull puppy, two 10-week-old liver colored puppies, a 5-year-old pit bull, an 11-month-old brown hound and a French bulldog, according to the affidavit. All the dogs were removed from the RV and taken to the Fulton County Animal Control's shelter, the court document continued.

Morgan Wallen Dominates Hot 100 With Six of Top 10 Spots, Tops Chart With Tate McRae on ‘What I Want'
Morgan Wallen has taken over the charts this week as 'What I Want' featuring Tate McRae has topped Billboard's Hot 100, while his fourth album I'm The Problem landed atop the albums chart as the biggest debut of 2025 so far. Overall, Wallen has six songs in the Top 10 this week, including all of the top three slots. 'What I Want' is Wallen's fourth Hot 100 chart-topper, and the first for McRae, whose biggest hit to this point has been 2023's 'Greedy,' which peaked at Number Three on the Hot 100. The song garnered 31.2 million streams, per Luminate. 'Just in Case' secured the second slot, while title track 'I'm The Problem' came in third. Wallen dethrones Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther,' which had spent the past 13 weeks atop the Hot 100 prior to this week.

It took less than a day for the album to become the most-streamed country record of the year on the major streaming platforms. I'm The Problem also secured 133,000 album sales as well. Wallen dethroned The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow for the biggest album debut of the year. Despite his own controversies in years past, Wallen has proven to be one of the biggest superstars in the country. Wallen's impressive opening this week reflects a continued surge in country music the singer has helped bolster over the past five years. While the streaming era has minted several stars like Luke Combs and Zach Bryan, Wallen remains the biggest act. Prior to I'm The Problem, Wallen topped the charts with Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing at a Time, both of which remain in the top 15 years after release. As The Hollywood Reporter first reported last month, Wallen's record label Big Loud has cashed in on that popularity, selling a minority stake in his catalog to the UMG-backed Chord Music partners for $200 million.

Will Morgan Wallen's Hot 100 Deluge Prevent Teddy Swims From Setting an All-Time Chart Record?
The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week, for the upcoming Billboard Hot 100 dated May 31, we look at the chances of 'Lose Control' to set a record for chart endurance – if it can fend off a swarm of new Morgan Wallen chart hits, one of which may debut at No. 1. Teddy Swims, 'Lose Control' (Warner): It's been a staggering 91 weeks and counting on the Hot 100 for Teddy Swims' crossover soul ballad 'Lose Control.' Since the song debuted on the chart in August of 2023 (!!), it's topped both the weekly chart (in March 2024) and the year-end Hot 100 (for all 2024), won a pair of Billboard Music Awards, and even been succeeded by another pair of top 40 hits in 'The Door' and 'Bad Dreams.' But all the while, 'Lose Control' has lingered on the chart, scarcely losing momentum – and this week (on the chart dated May 24), spends a record-extending 62nd week inside the top 10, holding at No. 7. More from Billboard Bow Wow Reveals Beats He Passed On - Including Rick Ross, Drake & French Montana's 'Stay Schemin' SZA Says She's 'Actually So Shocked' by the 'Bullying' Megan Thee Stallion Is Facing in Tory Lanez Shooting Case Karol G Lands First No. 1 on Hot Latin Pop Songs Chart With 'Milagros' This week also sees 'Lose Control' tie Glass Animals' 'Heat Waves' for the longest total stay on the entire chart – and given its still-lofty position, it would seem a near-foregone conclusion that it would go on to break that mark next frame with a 92nd week. Complicating things, however, is the man who's been most unmissable on the Billboard charts this decade: country superstar Morgan Wallen, whose new album I'm the Problem was released on Friday (May 16). Seven tracks from the album already appear on the Hot 100 this week – five of them in the top 25 – but the set's full 37-track drop could add as many as 30 extra songs to the mix, some of them likely quite high. Could the new Wallen swarm really push 'Lose Control' all the way off the chart? Well, it only would have to push it out of the top 25 – since the song has already spent over a year on the chart, Billboard's rules about recurrent entries on the Hot 100 mean that it would drop off the listing entirely if it dropped to No. 26 or lower. But since 'Control' is still No. 7 this week, that would still take a mighty showing from Wallen's latest – likely requiring about half the 37-track album to outperform it on the chart next week. A tall ask, and with the relatively steady radio and streaming support for 'Lose Control,' it might not end up having too much of a Problem with Wallen after all. Morgan Wallen, 'Just in Case,' 'What I Want' (with Tate McRae), 'I'm the Problem' (Mercury/Big Loud/Republic): Even if he doesn't crowd Teddy Swims out of the Hot 100 top 25 next week, Wallen should launch his fair share of entries into the top 10 – including a couple that may be contending for No. 1. 'Just in Case,' which debuted at No. 3 in April and sits at No. 11 this week, may be the frontrunner, as it has roosted at No. 2 on both Spotify's Daily Top Songs USA and Apple Music's real-time chart for most of the week following I'm the Problem's release — and is also growing significantly in radio play, as Wallen's latest single being promoted to country radio was up to 9.4 million in airplay audience for the first four days of this tracking week (May 16-19), according to Luminate, after debuting at No. 47 on the most recent Radio Songs listing. It should receive some serious competition from albummate 'What I Want,' however – Wallen's duet with Tate McRae, marking the first time he's sung with a female artist on an officially released track. While the brand-new collab is unsurprisingly slower-going on radio in its first week, it also is the lone song ranking above 'Just in Case' on both Spotify and Apple Music this week. If it debuts in the Hot 100's top two, it will mark the highest-ranking hit of Tate McRae's career – with 'Greedy' holding her previous high-water mark with its No. 3 peak in early 2024. Also not to be counted out: the I'm the Problem title track, which is currently the highest-charting of Wallen's eight Hot 100 entries, rating at No. 6 in its 15th week on the chart (after debuting at No. 2 back in February). The song also ranks in the top five on both the aforementioned DSP charts, while remaining Wallen's top-performing song on radio – likely topping Country Airplay for a sixth week next frame, and holding in the top 15 on the all-format Radio Songs ranking. Kendrick Lamar & SZA, 'Luther' (pgLang/Interscope/ICLG) & Alex Warren, 'Ordinary' (Atlantic): The two songs that have been duking it out for No. 1 on the Hot 100 the past couple weeks – with 'Luther' thus far reigning victorious – will likely find themselves on the undercard for the Hot 100 title fight next week following the waterfall of Wallen entries. However, as those I'm the Problem songs inevitably recede some in week two, Alex Warren and Kendrick Lamar & SZA could be back in the main event the week after. In the meantime, 'Ordinary' should continue to close the all-important airplay gap, as it is up 21% in radio audience for the first four days of the tracking week (May 16-19) to 20.9 million, while 'Luther' is down 3% to 35 million.

Morgan Wallen's 'I'm the Problem' tops Country Airplay for a sixth total and consecutive week (31.7 million, down 1%). It became the third No. 1 from his album of the same name, ahead of its release May 16, following 'Love Somebody' (three weeks in February) and 'Lies Lies Lies' (one week, November). His latest single being promoted to country radio, 'Just in Case,' rises 15-13 (14.8 million, up 8%). 'I'm the Problem' is the third of Wallen's 17 Country Airplay No. 1s to reign for six frames or more, after 'You Proof,' which shares the record for most time on top (10 weeks, 2022-23), and 'Last Night' (eight weeks, 2023). Five total cuts from I'm the Problem are scaling Country Airplay, with the title track and 'Just in Case' followed in the top 40 by 'I Ain't Coming Back,' with Post Malone (43-32; 2.9 million, up 48%).
