Cardi B Says This ‘You' Scene Is ‘Turning Me On'
Cardi B loves Joe Goldberg unconditionally. The rapper is a big fan of Netflix's hit series, You, and the streaming service unveiled a new video in which Cardi reacts in real time to season three. In the clip, the star watches as the serial killer protagonist Goldberg is tied up and attacked by his love interest (and fellow serial killer) Love. 'I'm not even gonna lie, this is turning me on,' Cardi joked while watching the scene.

'I totally can relate,' she continues, before playfully adding, 'I bet my baby daddy wanna kill me — but you can't!' Cardi shares daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, son Wave Set Cephus, and a newborn daughter with her estranged husband, Offset. The Bronx native filed to divorce the Migos — for the second time — after seven years of marriage in the summer of 2024. Cardi is a longtime fan of You. In 2021, she fangirled over its leading man on X — which was then still known as Twitter — before both the musician and Gossip Girl alum hilariously changed both of their profile pictures to photos of each other. Later, Cardi's Billboard Hot 100-topper 'I Like It' was featured in the first episode of You's fourth season, which dropped in 2023. Just last month, Cardi helped debut the trailer for season five in a video posted to You's official Instagram. The fifth and final season of You is set to premiere April 24 on Netflix.

Daryl Hannah Claims Neil Young's Citizenship Process Was Hindered by ‘Every Trick in the Book'
Actress Daryl Hannah has spoken about the issues faced by husband Neil Young in his journey to becoming an American citizen, claiming 'every trick in the book' was used to delay the process. Hannah, who has been married to Young since 2018, made the claims in a new interview with the BBC, alleging that the process was delayed purposefully. 'They tried […] every trick in the book to mess him up, and made him keep coming back to be re-interviewed and re-interviewed,' Hannah explained. 'It's ridiculous [because] he's been living in America and paying taxes here since he was in his 20s.' More from Billboard Luke Bryan Reacts to Katy Perry's Space Flight: 'It Roped Me In' King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Preview 'Phantom Island' LP With New Single, 'Deadstick' Adrianne Lenker Details New Live Album, 'Live at Revolution Hall' Indeed, Young was born in Toronto in 1945 but relocated to the U.S. in 1966. In a 1975 interview with Rolling Stone, Young admitted that he had lived in the country illegally until he obtained a green card in 1970. In November 2019, Young discussed some of the delays his citizenship application had faced, noting that a policy update from earlier that same year meant that his previous use of marijuana had not seen him meet the standard for 'good moral character.' 'When I recently applied for American citizenship, I passed the test,' Young wrote at the time. 'It was a conversation where I was asked many questions. I answered them truthfully and passed. Recently however, I have been told that I must do another test, due to my use of marijuana and how some people who smoke it have exhibited a problem.' Ultimately, Young was granted U.S. citizenship in January 2020, though he would later relocate to Canada that same year. Recently, Young's criticism of the U.S. government has seen him share fears that he may be blacklisted from a return to the U.S. based upon the 'latest actions of our US government.' 'When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket,' Young wrote on his website on April 1. 'If I come back from Europe and am barred, can't play my USA tour, all of the folks who bought tickets will not be able to come to a concert by me.' 'If the fact that I think Donald Trump is the worst president in the history of our great country could stop me from coming back, what does that say for Freedom?' he added. 'I love America and its people and its music and its culture.' Despite these comments, Hannah noted that she doesn't share the same fear that Young might be detained at the border, largely due to his status as a U.S. citizen. 'They've been detaining people who have green cards or visas – which is hideous and horrifying – but they have not, so far, been refusing to let American citizens back in the country, so I don't think that's going to happen,' she stated.

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum on Whether Narcocorridos Should Be Banned or Regulated
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed questions from Billboard Español this Wednesday (April 16) regarding the controversy surrounding the idea of the federal government potentially banning or regulating the public dissemination of music that glorifies criminal activities, specifically so-called narcocorridos. This is a measure that some state and municipal governments have already begun implementing. Joining the list of regions that have turned down the volume on corridos tumbados and narcocorridos — a genre popularized by artists like Natanael Cano, Peso Pluma, and Junior H — are Mexico City and Michoacán, which recently announced measures to regulate such expressions. Last Friday (April 11), chaos broke out during a concert by singer Luis R. Conriquez at the Feria del Caballo in the State of Mexico when the artist refused to perform corridos glorifying drug trafficking, citing compliance with the entity's new rules. This decision angered some in the audience. More from Billboard Luke Bryan Reacts to Katy Perry's Space Flight: 'It Roped Me In' King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Preview 'Phantom Island' LP With New Single, 'Deadstick' Adrianne Lenker Details New Live Album, 'Live at Revolution Hall' The debate in Mexico over tightening regulations on songs that glorify drug trafficking has intensified in several parts of the country. But it's also making waves across the border in the United States, where Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau confirmed on April 1, via a post on X, that he revoked the work and tourist visas of the members of the group Los Alegres del Barranco. The decision came after the band projected images of a criminal leader during their March 29 concert at an auditorium at the University of Guadalajara in Jalisco. 'I'm a firm believer in freedom of expression, but that doesn't mean that expression should be free of consequences,' Landau wrote in his post. Here are President Claudia Sheinbaum's responses to Billboard Español during her morning press conference on Wednesday (April 16) in Mexico City. Narcocorridos have become a polarizing topic in Mexico and across the border. On Monday, you mentioned that your government does not ban any music genre. Do you think regulating, rather than banning, this type of expression is a viable option? I'm not really a fan of banning things in this case. There are other things I believe are more important, like the issue of sweets in schools, which are no longer allowed because it's a public health matter. In this case, of course, the way these lyrics are crafted within certain types of music and genres is a phenomenon that happens. I think that if it's banned — even though what they're banning is its promotion in public spaces, not that people can't listen to it at home — that's a decision some municipalities have chosen to make. From my point of view, education and awareness are better approaches, allowing society itself to gradually move away from these kinds of musical content, rather than outright bans. Of course, there are extremes that cross into criminal territory, right? Like what happened at an event where a video of a drug trafficker was shown as if it were something positive. Everything has its pros and cons. We've asked some musicians for their thoughts on the binational contest México Canta, including Natalia Lafourcade just yesterday — an artist who has elevated Mexico's name to great heights without relying on trends or narratives that glorify anything controversial… Yes, there are Mexican women — singer-songwriters, true artists in every sense of the word — with incredible talent and creativity. Natalia Lafourcade is one of them. Julieta Venegas, Ximena Sariñana — these are young women with immense creativity. And of course, Lila Downs as well. It's truly a generation of men and women, but especially women, with remarkable creativity who elevate Mexico's name without resorting to glorifying violence. On the contrary, they create highly creative musical content, along with their own unique music. So, this contest (México Canta) has that goal: to inspire young people to participate with different kinds of content, and for the music that emerges throughout the contest to start resonating within society. Some say the main issue is ending violence and reducing organized crime in Mexico, and that's true — we're working on that as well. But I think building a culture of peace is also a task for the government, using creative methods like this that involve young people, and I believe it will be very positive. And what's really great about this contest, México Canta, is that many producers got involved and joined in. It wasn't something they organized, but rather an initiative that emerged, and they decided to participate—music producers who will be part of this process. I think it's a great initiative, and we'll be sharing some of the pieces that come out of this process on Fridays. Just like former President López Obrador had his playlist without 'corridos tumbados,' is there a chance you'll have your own playlist? Yes, of course. We'll share it soon.
