Adam Levine Reveals a Pair of Rappers on Upcoming Maroon 5 Album: ‘It's a Nice Mix of People'

Maroon 5 is inching toward the release of their Love Is Like album, slated to arrive on Aug. 15, and frontman Adam Levine stopped by Today on Wednesday (July 9), where he revealed a pair of rappers set to invade the LP as special guests: Lil Wayne and Sexyy Red. 'Lil Wayne did a verse of the song, and Sexyy Red,' the Maroon 5 frontman said. 'It's a nice mix of people, and we're really excited about the songs we're doing.'

We have obviously LISA — that everybody knows — so LISA, that one, cat's out of the bag.' Maroon 5 has already released two singles ahead of the 10-track album, including 'All Night' and 'Priceless' with BLACKPINK's LISA. 'It was one of those things where I feel like we've written songs every which way and we wanted to get back to what started the band and kind of what made us successful in the first place,' he explained. 'We have amazing producers that help bring it to life.' Levine is no stranger to Weezy, as the duo previously collaborated in 2020 on the Funeral track 'Trust Nobody.' Maroon 5 has also dipped into the rapper world in the past with team-ups alongside the likes of Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Wiz Khalifa. The three-time Grammy-winning band will hit the road this fall with a 23-city trek kicking off in Phoenix on Oct. 6 in support of Love Is Like.

UFC 318 results: Dustin Poirier loses final bout to Max Holloway, bids emotional farewell

Not many, if any, fighters get the farewell party Dustin Poirier did Saturday in New Orleans. While the storybook ending didn't take place at UFC 318, Poirier (30-10 MMA, 22-9 UFC) retired at Smoothie King Center with his head held high. After his "BMF title defeat by unanimous decision to Max Holloway (27-8 MMA, 23- 8 UFC), Poirier signed off in front of his home state crowd." "I feel loved by the fans, Louisiana, and the company," Poirier said in the cage, before an emotional tribute video played for him. "I didn't know I'd touch as many people as I did just by chasing my dreams." The scorecards were 48-47, 49-46, and 49-46. Poirier overcame being dropped by a Holloway right early. The moment audibly sucked the energy out of an arena that was riled up by Poirier's grand introduction – one that included the presence of Louisiana-bred rap legend Lil Wayne. A shot of adrenalin would inject back into the arena in Round 2, however. After Poirier sustained another knockdown, he turned the tables on Holloway and put him on the canvas with a blow of his own. In true Poirier fashion, he hopped the guillotine. Holloway rolled and escaped, however. Round 3 was a strong showing for Holloway, as the two fighters continued to get the other's timing down. Round 4 was closely contested, as was five. Over the course of 25 minutes, the dance never really paused. Both men went tit-for-tat, in a controlled yet nerve-racking way. In the final seconds, Poirier accepted Holloway's signature challenge to stand and bang, though the Hawaiian appeared to get the best of the exchange. Poirier, 36, retires as one of the most violent, exciting and popular fighters in UFC history and he will likely find himself in the promotion's Hall of Fame. He won the interim UFC lightweight title in 2019. Outside of the cage, his charitable contributions to his community and beyond earned him the first-ever Forrest Griffin Community Award from the UFC. Holloway retains his "BMF" title and bounces back from a knockout loss to Ilia Topuria. He moves to 4-1 in his most recent five fights. The bout avenges two prior losses to Poirier.

Dustin Poirier wants Lil Wayne to wrap the BMF belt at UFC 318

NEW ORLEANS – It looks like Lil Wayne will get the honor to wrap the "Baddest Motherf*cker" belt around the winner at this weekend's UFC 318. This Saturday, the BMF title will be up for grabs as Max Holloway puts his belt on the line in a trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 318 – which takes place at Smoothie King Center (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). The BMF title, separate from the divisional UFC undisputed belts, has been presented on fight night by a special guest other than UFC CEO Dana White, who ordinarily crowns the champions. This time around, both Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC) and Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) want that person to be rapper Lil Wayne – who will be walking out Poirier, a fellow Louisiana native, in his retirement fight. "Let Weezy do it," Poirier said when asked about it at Thursday's UFC 318 pre-fight press conference. Holloway has no objections, "I'm not going to disagree with that." There's been three BMF title fights since the inauguration of the belt – which was original supposed to be a one-off event. At UFC 244 in 2019, the inaugural night of the BMF title, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wrapped the belt around Jorge Masvidal, who defeated Nate Diaz. Then, it was a then retired Masvidal, who gave the belt to Justin Gaethje when he knocked out Poirier at UFC 291 on July 2023. In the most recent BMF title bout, which went down April 2024 at UFC 300, UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman, who had just recovered from saving his parents from a house fire, wrapped the belt around Holloway, who knocked out Gaethje in one of the greatest knockouts in MMA history.
