Over a decade into his career, Justin Bieber easily remains one of music’s most dominating forces – a position regularly reiterated by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Less than 7 months after becoming the first male singer to sell over 100 million digital records (as we reported here), the GRAMMY winner extends the record thanks to the success of his two Hot 100 #1 singles of 2021 – ‘Peaches’ (featuring Giveon and Daniel Caesar) and ‘Stay’ alongside Kid LAROI.

Tiffany Haddish leads the search for the truth in the new Apple TV+ comedy series ‘The Afterparty.’

Set to premiere on the streamer on January 28, 2022, the unique murder mystery chronicles one killer night through the lens of the 8 revelers who attended a high school reunion afterparty.

Aptly clocking in at eight episodes, each installment will unpack the events of the same evening by way of a different character’s perspective. Indeed, the episodes will all take on individual formats and shapeshift to adapt to the protagonist’s personality. 

Haddish is joined by Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco in the Chris Miller directed series.

Burna Boy and Wizkid have reteamed for brand new single ‘B. D’OR.’

The Afrobeat titans last magnetized the masses with the oh-so infectious ‘Ginger’ from Wiz’s ‘Made In Lagos’ LP and now it’s the Starboy who features on GRAMMY winner Burna’s latest offering.

Produced by music maestro P2j, the hard-hitting club jam is inspired by the Ballon d’Or – one of the most prestigious trophies bestowed on professional football players. Historically, the recipient is considered the best player in the world.

Suffice to say, the pair put a musical twist on the concept.

‘B. D’OR’ arrives on the heels of Burna announcing a historic Madison Square Garden show. Billed ‘One Night In Space,’ the concert will see the star become the first Nigerian to headline the iconic New York venue.
