I love that n****.”

As of April 1, she had nearly 60 million monthly listeners, beating out fellow rappers Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, GloRilla, Latto, Ice Spice and Coi Leray.

Xzibit is gearing to release his first album in over a decade, a 20-track project titled Kingmaker. He recently revealed the track list, and he's tapped Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Redman, Busta Rhymes, Cypress Hill’s B-Real, Royce Da 5’9″, Ty Dolla $ign and more. The album arrives May 16.

Jill Scott guest starred in a recent episode of Abbott Elementary. She appeared as herself on the show, also playing the goddaughter of a woman on Barbara's church choir. When the staff's initial fundraising efforts failed, she came through last minute to perform her song "Golden" at the school's block party, which helps them reach their fundraising goals.
