Rising Country Singer Kylie Rae Harris Dies in Car Crash at 30 Years Old

Kylie Rae Harris, a rising country singer from Texas, died after she was involved three-vehicle crash in New Mexico.

According to Billboard, the 30-year-old “Twenty Years From Now” singer was traveling on a highway in Taos Wednesday night (Sep. 4) when she was killed in the pile-up.

An unnamed 16-year-old driver also died in the crash, while a third person wasn’t injured, the outlet reported.

“We are heartbroken to confirm that Kylie Rae Harris passed away in a car accident last night,” Harris’ publicist said in a statement to Billboard.

“Everyone that knew Kylie knew how much she loved her family and, beyond that, how much she loved music. The best tribute to her unmatched enthusiasm for both is to spread as much love as you can today, and listen to music that fully inspires you.”

The representative didn’t provide any other details about the fatal crash, and police are investigating whether alcohol was involved.

Harris, who just released a self-titled EP back in March, was in New Mexico to perform at Michael Hearne’s Big Dance Music Festival, per concert listing on her official website. She was scheduled to perform next in Turkey, Texas this Saturday (Sep. 7).

Her last post on Twitter referenced her road trip to New Mexico. “Dear baby Jesus please don’t let me get stranded in NM,” she tweeted.

Kylie Rae Harris leaves behind a daughter, Corbie, for whom she wrote the song “Twenty Years From Now” after her own father’s death.

“It scared me thinking that it was totally possible I could be gone before my daughter reaches that point,” she told Billboard. “I want to meet my kid’s kids. Getting to the age your parents were when you were a child brings a whole lot of perspective.”

Harris added: “Parents are people. People make mistakes and being a parent is hard. I’m not always going to make the right choices, but I hope that when Corbie gets older she’ll see that they were all made with love and the best of intentions.”

Dallas Austin Reflects on the Time Monica Punched Brandy in the Face Before ’98 VMAs Performance: “Monica Was Very Ghetto”

It’s the beef that just won’t go away. The infamous Brandy and Monica feud has been ongoing for two decades with a few bright spots in between. And now, producer Dallas Austin is giving his take on the R&B diva beef.

Austin—who co-produced the 1998 duet “The Boy Is Mine”—sat down with VladTV and discussed the “heavyweight beef” between Monica and Brandy, including the punch that happened right before the duo’s only televised performance of the song.

“Monica was very ghetto when it came down to it,” he said of the teenager whom he admits was still trying to find her “real self.”

“If you didn’t have gold teeth, she didn’t like you,” he added. “So she was really hood in Atlanta.”

He says Monica felt Brandy was “too proper” and was open about her dislike for the singer/actress. She didn’t even want to record the song.

“So from that point, even to have them do ‘The Boy is Mine,’ Monica was like, ‘Nope. I’m not doing no song with her.’

“I was like, ‘C’mon. You got it. It just makes the most sense. Clive [Davis] wants it. Let’s just do it.’ So we did the song. I did Monica’s stuff out here and they did Brandy’s out there.”

And when they shot the video, Austin revealed there was “no interaction, no friendship.”

They saw each other for the first time when they were set to perform at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

Their feud came to a head backstage when Monica punched Brandy in the face right before the performance.

“And the first time they actually saw each other to do it, I think it was the American Music Awards [sic] or something and before they could even get to the stage, Monica decked her in the face, popped her in the face backstage. Slams his fist into his palm.

“And I went ‘Oh my God!’ So everybody was like ‘How are we going to have a performance that looks they’re not at war with each other?’ But it worked out because the song is they’re supposed to be at war with each other so nobody could tell that she punched her in the face before the performance.”

While promoting their 2012 follow-up, “It All Belongs to Me,” Monica revealed a physical incident occurred, but neither wanted to dwell on the past so they didn’t offer many details on the matter.

Their relationship again deteriorated after the release of that single and a failed joint tour.

“Old Town Road” Nominated for Country Music Award After Controversially Being Kicked Off Country Charts

Though Lil Nas X’s massive hit “Old Town Road” was kicked off the country charts earlier this year, the country music community is finally recognizing its country influence.

The Old Town Road remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus was just nominated for a Country Music Association award in the Musical Event of the Year category, a category reserved for artists that don’t typically work together.

The 20-year-old tweeted out his appreciation for the nomination. “Thank you guys,” he wrote.

Nas X and Cyrus are nominated alongside more traditional country acts such as Blake Shelton and Garth Brooks, Maren Morris, and Brooks and Dunn.

There was speculation about whether “Old Town Road” would get any love at the CMAs.

It was reported earlier this month that many of the CMA voters had mixed feelings about the song, and the record-breaking single was, in fact, shut out of major categories like Single of the Year and Song of the Year.

But as you know controversy is nothing new for the country-trap song.

“Old Town Road” debuted at No. 19 on Billboard’s Hot Country Chart back in March, but was removed the following week because it wasn’t country enough.

Billboard explained it was removed for “several reasons, including its trap beat, a lack of country airplay, no involvement by Sony Music Nashville and mixed categorization and playlisting on leading streaming services.”

This sparked a conversation about how black artists have historically been unwelcome in the country music genre, despite white rappers being welcome in Hip-Hop.

Cyrus was one of the first country artists to support the song and Lil Nas X subsequently invited him to collaborate on a remix.

The result: “Old Town Road” (Remix) shot to No. 1 on the Hot 100 list and became the longest No. 1 single of all time, holding the top spot for 19 consecutive weeks.

“Old Town Road” won two MTV Video Music Awards earlier this week, including Song of the Year. Nas X also debuted his new single “Panini” at the show.

The 53rd CMAs will air live on November 13. No word on whether Lil Nas X will perform or attend.

Cardi B Reveals What She Went Through to Finish ‘Invasion of Privacy’ While Pregnant, Plus What Nipsey Hussle Told Her After Grammy Win

Cardi B is still riding on a high after winning a moonperson at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards earlier this week.

But as the accolades for her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, keep rolling in, she’s been reflecting on how hard she had to push and prove herself in order to release the finished product.

Cardi had quite a few things to say one Twitter on today (Aug. 28).

And as always, she was brutally honest as she shared the many struggles she faced while completing the album including worrying how her pregnancy would affect her career, battling depression, dealing with relationship issues with Offset, and pleading for features.

“On my album I showed different sides of me. From my intro talking about my [past]. To living my best life inspiring people. Relationship songs while I was going thru my own relationship drama to shaking ass like Bodak & that ASS. Every song went platinum!” she wrote.

“I did it all while I was pregnant. Throwing up, drowsy, terrible colds and in a rush to finish it so I can start doing music videos before I started showing. I spend 24 hours for months sleeping on a couch with my pregnant depressed ass in a studio,” she added.

And in another tweet, she claimed that several artists said no to appear on her album or were asking six figures for a feature.

Offset was out there pleading Cardi’s case on her behalf and she expressed gratitude for those that did agree to work with her.

She closed the reflection by recalling a kind comment the late Nipsey Hussle said to her after she won her Grammy earlier this year.

“When I won Nipsey said on a comment to me WHEN IS YOUR TIME IS YOUR TIME!” she wrote.

And she says she now passes the sentiment forward to upcoming artists.

“Now when I speak to upcoming [artists] or people who ask me for advice I tell them the same thing! WHEN IS YOUR TIME IS YOUR TIME and when it comes don’t let nobody take that special moment away from you!”

Normani Gives Us Black Cheerleader Goodness With Show-Stopping “Motivation” VMAs Performance

There are those who have the gift to spot the potential in rising stars. They can see the diamond in the rough that others see as unripe fruit.

Take Jay-Z, for example, who saw a global superstar where others saw a gangly girl from Barbados who warbled her way through Mariah’s catalog at talent shows.

But let me tell you something: When it comes to Normani, you don’t have to be Jay-Z to know that you’re witnessing the next big thing. This girl has the confidence of Beyoncé, the dance skills of Ciara and the girl-next-door beauty of Kelly Rowland.

She flawlessly brought to life her basketball-themed visuals from her music video for “Motivation.” She even added a VMA-appropriate costume strip that looked, for a moment, that it was headed toward Janet Jackson wardrobe-malfunction status, but instead it just segued into a dance break that was part gymnastics routine and part Magic City twerk session.

In the words of Nicki Minaj, “Normani is that BITCH!”

Watch Normani break it all the way down on the VMAs stage and witness a star being born.

Missy Elliott Runs Through Her Hits, Gets Her Roses and Basks in Her Greatness at the 2019 VMAs

If you consider yourself a fan of popular music or the music video art form in any way, then you simply must acknowledge the genius of Missy Elliott.

The number of iconic, groundbreaking music videos she has under her belt run the gamut: “Supa Fly (I Can’t Stand the Rain),” “Get Ur Freak On,” “She’s a Bitch,” “Sock It 2 Me,” “Work It” and so many more.

As one of the preeminent forces in music video excellence, it is arguably a crime that it’s taken MTV this long to recognize Missy for the Video Vanguard Award in the first place.

That’s certainly the argument that The Read, a massively popular Black culture podcast, and its hosts Crissle and Kid Fury have been making. But hey, better late than never.

For her Vanguard moment, Missy recreated some of the iconic visuals from her videography, including the giant trash bag look from “Supa Dupa Fly” and even brought out an all-growed up Alyson Stoner from the “Work It” video.

Watch Missy Elliott flip it and reverse it on the MTV stage below … and keep scrolling for a video tribute from her famous friends, plus the video of her Vanguard Award acceptance speech.

Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” Remix Featuring DaBaby Has Twitter Divided

Two of 2019’s biggest hip-hop breakout stars, Lizzo and DaBaby, have officially joined forces on the official “Truth Hurts” remix.

As we reported earlier this week, Lizzo teased the collab on Instagram, suggesting DaBaby had something good up his sleeve with the caption: “Why u come fa me like that lmaoooooo.”

“I just took a DNA test, and it told me I’m the realest pretty chocolate n***a out here with some good dick, no cap,” DaBaby raps after Lizzo’s intro.

“And I can have a b**ch from Harvard with a eight-year degree, I probably still would rather pull up with a hood b**ch.”

From there, the Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment CEO talks about how Lizzo’s friends talk trash about him but “still wanna f**k on me too,” and because he feels unappreciated, he wants to “get even,” however, he reconsiders once he realizes “she bigger, I prolly lose in a fight.”

He ends his verse saying he’s still gonna “talk [his] sh*t,” but because he’s “in love with her big fine ass,” he’s gonna “do what she like.”

While some Lizzo fans instantly fell in love with the remix, others decided they could’ve lived without DaBaby’s braggadocious bars.

T-Pain Says He Went From $40 Million in His Bank Account to Having to Borrow Money for Burger King

If you ever need advice on what not to do if you ever find yourself with a large amount of money, just ask T-Pain, who recently admitted that he blew threw $40 million and was so broke at one point that he had to ask for money just to buy food from Burger King.

The 33-year-old rap-singer recently paid a visit to The Breakfast Club and opened up about his financial ups and downs, saying that he’s “been on each end of the spectrum.”

“So now I know what the high end is and what the low end is,” he told co-hosts Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee. “I’ve been mega-rich, you know, I’ve been super broke, right in the middle of thinking I was mega-rich, and then got rich again, and you know learned how to really give a sh*t about money.”

T-Pain said there was a point in time when he didn’t even want access to his bank account information, which ultimately led to him spending large sums of cash without realizing how quickly he was depleting his funds.

After a number of failed investments and lavish purchases, not to mention the fact that he wasn’t keeping track of his finances, Teddy Verseti said his bank account quickly went from $40 million to zero dollars.

Putting the state of his low bank account in perspective, T-Pain explained: “I, like, had to borrow money to get my kids Burger King.”

Fortunately, these days, Teddy Verseti is in a much better place financially, and he’s a lot more conscious of his spending habits.

“Once you give a sh*t about the money you’re making, then, you know what I’m saying, you feel much better about your accomplishments, you feel much better about what you’re doing, you start paying attention to your work that makes you money,” he said.

Missy Elliott Will Finally Receive Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at 2019 MTV VMAs

It’s about dayum time!

Missy Elliott has been announced as this year’s recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, which will be presented to her at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards later this month.

Of course, this also means that we will be getting a huge performance medley from the legendary rapper, producer and songwriter in her first performance at the awards show in 16 years.

“Missy’s impact on the music landscape is indelible,” said Bruce Gillmer, co-brand head of MTV International and Viacom’s music and music talent head. “Her creative vision across production, performance and songwriting is unmatched.”

With five Grammy Awards, the honor of being the first female hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and more than 30 million records sold worldwide, this honor is long overdue, but as they say, better late than never right?

Elliott joins previous VMA Vanguard honorees like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Pink, Rihanna, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and many others.

The 2019 VMAs will air on MTV at 8 p.m. on Monday, August 26th live from Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Facially Challenged Singer Daniel Caesar’s New Album Only Sold 1,635 Copies After He Begged Black People to Cancel to Him

Turning against your own people can sometimes have adverse reactions to your success.

Just ask Daniel Caesar, whose sophomore album flopped like a balled up, wet paper towel after he boldly asked Black people to “cancel” him earlier this year.

It all started back in March when the facially challenged singer put on his captain save-a-hoe cape to rescue his friend YesJulz after she was rightfully dragged on Twitter for thinking it’s OK for her, as a white woman, to wear a t-shirt with the N-word on it.

Then there’s this line she rapped in a very terrible freestyle:

“Because my ass is fat and my skin ain’t black, I’m the vulture they’re huntin, and yet they never do nothin, they never give back, they keep killing blacks…”

In defending his melanin deficient friend, the guy with a face only a mother could truly love made some pretty ridiculous comments about how Black folks are way too sensitive and should be more like White people.

We’re not going to repeat everything Black Gollum said (because he said a mouthful), but you can read all about it (and watch his IG Live video) here.

Cliffnotes: It was trash. But this is the part of his rant that really matters:

“I’ve said what I’ve said before and y’all tried to cancel me and I apologized like a bitch. I don’t believe in that shit ’cause I think you guys are wrong and I think I’m right … and you can cancel me. Don’t listen to my next shit if you think I’m shit … Make me broke, make me suffer for my opinion. I believe in it.”

Anyone with good sense in their heads would know that condemning and alienating a group of people who make up the majority of your fanbase is career suicide, but unfortunately for Mr. Unfortunate Face, he didn’t get that memo.

When his second studio album, Case Study 01, was released nearly two weeks ago on June 28th, industry insiders predicted it would sell only 3,000 copies (aka “pure sales”), which is already a pretty pitiful projection.

And according to our good friends over at That Grape Juice, the Canadian singer actually sold LESS than the predictions!

In its launch week, ‘Case’ moved a total of 22,000 units (a figure powered by 20,465 units generated on the likes of Apple Music, TIDAL, Spotify and Deezer) but only sold 1,635 copies….one of the lowest opening figures Billboard has ever seen.

As a result, it will spend its first week at #14 in the US after opening at #89 in the United Kingdom and #186 in Belgium.

Uhm. Wow. Ouch?

Now, mind you, Ceasar’s debut album Freudian, released in 2017, received critical acclaim and earned him three Grammy nominations, as well as a trophy, for the song “Best Part” with H.E.R.

Of course, all of that was before the human eyesore begged Black people to cancel him. And it looks like he got his wish.

Meanwhile, Black Twitter’s response to Dusty Daniel’s album flopping has been a resounding “That’s what your black ass gets,” with some inquiring about his White homegirl’s current whereabouts.

As the old saying goes: “Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.”

Lil Nas X Comes Out As Gay on Last Day of LGBTQ Pride Month

Lil Nas X has been dominating the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the past 12 weeks with his hit single “Old Town Road,” however, he has been very private about his personal life … until now.

On Sunday (Jun. 30), marking the last day of LGBTQ pride month, the 20-year-old took to Twitter to share a huge announcement:

some of y’all already know, some of y’all don’t care, some of y’all not gone fwm no more. but before this month ends i want y’all to listen closely to c7osure.

While the message itself doesn’t reveal too much, the rainbow says it all.

“c7osure” is the seventh track on Lil Nas X’s newly released EP 7 and it features the following lyrics:

Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow
No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go
Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take ahold
This is what I gotta do, can’t be regrettin’ when I’m old

Many on social media are saying that the tweet means that Lil Nas X has officially come out of the closet, which quells many rumors about his sexuality.

While he didn’t specify whether he’s gay or bisexual, that’s beyond the point. Lil Nas X is living in his truth and (most of) his fans on Twitter are here for it:

Oh, She a Freak Freak! Jill Scott “Rocks the Mic” During Performance (VIDEO)

Jill Scott became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter Tuesday (Nov. 3) after a video of one of her concerts surfaced online showing her “rocking the mic” (i.e. simulating oral sex on a microphone).

The NSFW performance sparked endless reactions and memes on Twitter, and even Questlove responded to all the shocked prudes, making fun of “Jill Scott newbies” who didn’t know that many of Scott’s songs are sexually explicit. “Y’all thought she was incense and sandals huh?” he wrote.

Scott also responded to the reactions, tweeting: “I sing/act out all kinds of stories. You should cum (Ed. note: LOL!) to my shows. After a Jill Scott show, most people get splendidly laid by whoever they came with #iftheydontFitUP #stopfrontinusuckdicktoo.”

She added: “They usually go on 2happier, more productive, focused, wealthy lives.”

Scott returned to Twitter Wednesday morning to clear up a few more things about the video.

“I don’t know who tweeted that snippet but they didn’t capture the point,” she wrote. “There’s good intention in everything I do, particularly for couples. I’ve BEEN me baby. ALL of me. Check the discography. Peace.”

From fans planning to dress up as microphone’s at the singer’s next show, to references to her role as Sheila in Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?” film franchise, look below for the hilarious Twitter reactions:

XXXTentacion Releases Posthumous Single “Bad!” (NEW MUSIC)

Before XXXTentacion was fatally shot back in June, the rapper was reportedly working on two albums, one called Skins and the other called Bad Vibes Forever.

Though we haven’t received an official release date for either album, insiders have confirmed a number of posthumous records were due to come out soon.

“We actually have nine more songs with X that are coming out,” producer Mally Mall revealed on ‘The Cruz Show’ last month. “It’s crazy, man. The kid was so talented. X was so talented that he would sound like three different artists on one song. It’s crazy. It’s sad because he predicted his death at 17. He thought he was gonna die.”

Friday morning (Nov. 9) at midnight, XXX’s team released a new single called “Bad!”

The track, produced by Keeley and John Cunningham, is said to be the first single from X’s first posthumous album Skins, which is due out before the end of the year.

Instagram Photo

Although an official release date for Skins has not been confirmed, it’s been reported that the album will drop on December 7th.

Like most of X’s recent singles, “BAD!”—clocking in at under two minutes—is an extremely short song, but it gets its message across.

Via HotNewHipHop:

X plays on the confidence of a gorgeous woman, reaffirming her knowledge that she’s beyond fine. The instrumental would sound perfect at a strip club, and X’s syrupy vocals melt over the hypnotic drums.
