The stellar cast of Apple TV+’s ‘Loot’ has returned for a second season of laughs and life lessons.

Season 2 resumes one year after Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) settles her very public divorce from tech billionaire John Novak (Adam Scott). She navigates single life while continuing to be the head of her philanthropic organization, the Wells Foundation.

Sofia Salinas – played by Michaela Jae Rodriguez (MJ Rodriguez) – continues to serve as the structure of the organization. This season she meets balance in her life when she meets Molly’s charismatic architect friend Isaac (O-T Fagbenle). Howard (Ron Funches) continues his bromance with Nicholas as they continue to support each other in and out of the workplace. Meanwhile, Arthur (Nat Faxon) has moved past his feelings for Molly while adopting a carefree attitude toward life.

Suffice it to say, there’s a whole lot going on!

That Grape Juice’s Chet Kincaid caught up with Rodriguez, Faxon, and Funches – all of whom dished on what their characters are up to this season. Watch the EXCLUSIVE interview above.

Eminem‘s new single may be called ‘Houdini,’ but there’s no escaping the controversy that has encased the track out of the gate.

Because the veteran’s penchant for stirring up drama abounds once again.

And this time it’s centered, rather randomly, around Megan Thee Stallion. 

Full story below…

‘Wanna Be,’ the Megan Thee Stallion-assisted tune from GloRilla‘s latest mixtape ‘Ehhthang Ehhthang,’ stands as a milestone for the latter as it marks her highest first-week sales for a single yet.

Peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the peak of its popularity, the top 20 opening came as the second highest-charting song of her entire discography – second only to the Cardi B-assisted 2022 smash ‘Tomorrow 2.‘

In a bid to push ‘Wanna Be’ to even higher heights on the hitlist, Glo has called on Meg and Cardi to join forces for the Ace Charisma-produced jam’s remix.

Arriving just days after the trio introduced the song via a live performance on Stallion’s NYC stop on the ‘Hot Girl Summer Tour‘ earlier this week, hop inside to hear the tune’s revamped version in full. (more…)

Slim Shady is back, but it may be for the last time.

Eminem has released his newest single, ‘Houdini,’ and the song is his first offering since his 2023 collaboration with Juice Wrld and Benny Blanco called ‘Lace It.’

‘Houdini’ is set to serve as as one of the tracks from Eminem’s upcoming album ‘The Death of Slim Shady,’ due out later over the summer.

In his announcement of the project, he shared that he would be “killing” his notoriously bad-behaved alter-ego Slim Shady. However, a specific release date for the album has not been given at this point.

Lucky Daye is back with more new music. This time around, he has released his song ‘Soft.’ 

The song itself its a grooving anthem that is complete with a pulsating bass line and moments of soaring guitar. Lyrically, the song is romantic and Daye speaks about his intentions toward his interest.

“I don’t know the meaning but I know what it could be / Like a whisper when I hear you talkin’ to me / When it’s cold out and it’s hard to let go / You’re making me soft,” he sings. 

The song is the latest taste from his upcoming album, ‘The Algorithm,’ due in June.

Listen to the track below, where its accompanying live performance video also awaits…
