Nick Jonas‘ videography has welcomed a brand new music video.

What for?

His new single ‘Champagne Problems’ which appears on his latest set ‘Last Year Was Complicated.’

What it’s all about?

It sounds like a party jam but in reality it’s about something pretty sad. We [Nick and ex-girlfriend Olivia] had this bottle of champagne that we were saving for our anniversary. We decided that we were going to celebrate the years we had together and the time that we spent together by sharing this bottle of champagne and closing that chapter of our life. Although it was a really sad moment, it was a nice way to kind of close things up. I’m sure she’s heard ‘Champagne Problems’ at this point. The concept of the song, which maybe doesn’t stand out on first listen, is ‘You’re amazing, you’re all the things I hope to find with somebody, but timing, circumstances, all these things play into it not being right”. Champagne is amazing, it tastes delicious, but gives you a really bad hangover.

T.I. has been one of the names notable for their efforts in raising awareness of racial injustice.

Hence, it’s little surprise that the King of the South is none-too-impressed with Lil Wayne‘s recent comments regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.

As reported, Weezy publicly disassociated himself from the initiative – declaring that he could not relate because he was rich, addding that he believed racism was no longer a reality. He cited the diverse nature of his audience as his rationale.

In an empassioned clapback, T.I let rip.

Country star Kenny Chesney may have the #1 album in the U.S. right now, but for the last three days he’s also been #1 on another tally:  the Beyhive hitlist.

Once the onslaught of insults reached a feverish pitch, Chesney took to social media to offer an official statement.  Read it below:
