Rapper Vic Mensa makes quite the statement in his latest video.

Unleashed moments ago, the visual for ‘3 Years Sober’ sees the outspoken star team with 93PUNX and Travis Barker for a clip few are likely to forget.

Explaining its rationale, Vic says:

“The ‘3 Years Sober’ video is a statement about identity. I put on a confederate flag dress to be able to laugh at a symbol of hate, and played tug of war with Mike Pence over birth control. I had my face written on to get ahead of everything I know people will say about me and had a diner full of BBQ Becky’s call the police on me for using the women’s bathroom. I know some in hip hop culture will see this and say ‘Vic’s gay’ (which I’m not), whereas if I was white they’d just say ‘he’s a rockstar.’ 93PUNX is about being yourself, f*ck what people think.”

Harriet Tubman, a fixture in and forerunner of the discussion on civil rights in American history, has seen her story told many times on the small screen.  However, July 23rd brought with it the trailer for ‘Harriet’ –  the grandest depiction of her iconic tale to date.

Starring British singer/actress Cynthia Erivo in the title role (with singers/actors Leslie Odom Jr., Janelle Monae, and Jennifer Nettles supporting), anticipation for the film was sent into overdrive upon the release of the teaser (which can be seen by clicking here).  But, before it marches into theaters November 1st, the movie’s already been greeted with controversy.

“Unbothered” is the name of the game for Pop diva Mariah Carey.

For over 20 years the undisputed Queen of the Billboard Hot 100 and her fans, affectionately called #Lambs, enjoyed the seemingly untouchable record of ‘longest number 1’ – a feat accomplished when her Boyz II Men-assisted tune, ‘One Sweet Day,’ held atop the tally for a whopping 16 weeks in the mid-90s.  Though challenged in 2017 when Luis Fonsi teamed with the likes of Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber to hoist the hit ‘Despacito’ to the chart’s summit for 16 weeks, their failure to nab a 17th week stay at the top kept Carey’s record in tact.

This week, however, a new challenger for the title arose in the form of Lil Nas X‘s megahit ‘Old Town Road.’  Boasting a tool ‘Day’ did not have in its arsenal at the time (streaming), the Billy Ray Cyrus-assisted tune – which has also extended its stay thanks to a number of high profile remixes – earned its 16th week at #1 as revealed by the chart’s most recent refresh (click here to read more).

As industry analysts believe it is likely the 20-year-old will break Carey’s longstanding record, our friends at The Blast caught up with the icon to ask if she was worried about the loss.  Her diva response just served as another reminder of why we love Mimi here at TGJ HQ:
