Despite having a pretty quiet 2023 as he’s baking the follow-up to his 2021 debut studio album, ‘Montero,’ rapper-singer Lil Nas X is still managing to piss off the conservatives.

Having already caused uproar in the past for everything from selling “Satan shoes” to delivering racy award show performances, music videos deemed sacrilegious, and more, the chart-topping hitmaker (born Montero Hill) seems to always find a way to get on the group’s bad side.

Beyond most recently being the subject of admonishment from celebrities and critics alike for claiming he’s entering his “Christian era,” he’s also landed in the sights of the American Family Association (AFA).

Look inside to see how the latter organization is waging war on his endorsements of Vitaminwater.

With time ticking toward the February 2024 kickoff of the ‘GUTS World Tour,‘ Pop singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo is giving future concertgoers a taste of what they can expect from the massive jaunt via a slew of recent high-profile appearances.

Nicki Minaj is staying true to her word.

Just days after promising she would be premiering new music for her fifth studio album, ‘Pink Friday 2,’ even after the set officially hit shelves on December 8, she’s delivered a remix of ‘Beep Beep‘ featuring 50 Cent.

“Beep, beep, beep, is that bleep? (Bleep) / Is that you talkin’ to me? It’s that deep? (Deep) / If I don’t even know you exist, is that beef? (Beef) / When n-ggas get they jaw broke, wait, is that teeth? (Is that teeth?),” she spits on the Murda Beatz-produced cut.

Found aboard a limited edition version of ‘PF2’ available exclusively on her website that features the extended version of ‘Beep’ with 50, the move will undoubtedly help push the project (already predicted to top next week’s Billboard 200) into even higher sales territory.
