If you’re not familiar with Hurricane Chris by name, you might know the rapper by his hit 2007 single, “A Bay Bay.” The popular song peaked at #7 on the Billboard chart back then and recently resurfaced as a TikTok favorite, remixed with Tony! Toni! Toné!’s classic hit “Anniversary.” On Wednesday, Chris announced the official video inspired by the viral mashup track, called “My Bay.”
“The official video ‘MY BAY’ is out now!! Link in Bio,” the Louisiana rapper said on Instagram. The energetic video shows Chris alongside a group of dancers on a basketball court. The dancers perform different routines, including the footwork dance that accompanied the remix and went viral on TikTok.
Fans certainly seem to be enjoying the fresh song and video.
“You fully took advantage smart man and the remix fire 🔥🦍🎯 I miss back in the days man aye bay bay,” one user commented on Instagram.
“Yesss indeed !!!!!🔥🔥🔥😍😍I love how you approach tha beat !!!! Love it,” another said.
Though the video dropped off this week, the 33-year-old rapper initially teased the new track back in March by sharing a snippet of the song on social media.
Maynard James Keenan has now had COVID-19 more times than he has bands.
The Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer frontman tells The Arizona Republicthat he’s “just had [COVID-19] the fourth time.”
“I got the European-flavored one,” Keenan says of his latest go-round with the virus. “That was fun.”
“It was a flu,” he adds. “It’s done.”
Keenan didn’t share exactly when and where he caught COVID-19 this time around, but Tool did recently wrap a European tour last month.
“I mean, when you’re in a room full of thousands of people, it’s being passed around,” Keenan says. “You get into a tube and you fly 10 hours in a contained environment, you’re gonna get it. If somebody has it and you’re gonna get it, you can get it.”
In October 2020, Keenan shared that he was still dealing with lingering symptoms from catching COVID-19 the first time earlier that year. He later revealed in 2021 that he contracted the virus again in November 2020, which briefly landed him in the hospital.
Despite his latest bout, Keenan is preparing to hit the road again on a U.S. tour with Puscifer beginning Thursday in Las Vegas.

During a concert last week in Gateshead, England, Jeff Beck announced that he and actor/musician Johnny Depp would be releasing a collaborative album in July, and now official details of the project have been unveiled.
The album, titled 18, will be released July 15 on CD and digital formats, while a 180-gram vinyl version will arrive September 30. The 13-track collection, which can be preordered now, features two Depp originals and 11 covers, including songs by The Beach Boys, The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Velvet Underground and The Everly Brothers.
Beck and Depp performed several songs from 18 during Jeff’s recent U.K. tour, which featured guest appearances by Johnny at nearly every stop.
Beck and Depp began working on 18 in 2019 after becoming friends a few years earlier. Fans got a first taste of the collaboration in 2020 when the duo released a cover of John Lennon‘s “Isolation,” which is also included on the CD and digital versions of the album.
“When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity,” Beck says. “We would joke about how we felt 18 again, so that just became the album title, too.”
One of the Depp originals, “This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr,” has been released as an advance digital single, while a companion music video has debuted at Jeff’s official YouTube channel.
Beck says he “was blown away by” the song when Johnny asked him to play guitar on the track.
Meanwhile, Depp, who has played with the supergroup The Hollywood Vampires alongside Alice Cooper and Aerosmith‘s Joe Perry for the last decade, says, “It’s an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats.”

Tenacious D has released a medley of three The Who songs in support of the anti-gun violence organization Everytown for Gun Safety.
The three-minute recording mashes together the tracks “Pinball Wizard,” “There’s a Doctor” and “Go To the Mirror!” While the D’s versions stay mostly true to the originals, a few vocal flourishes from Jack Black earn the track an “explicit” label.
“Who better to deliver a tribute to the greatest rock opera of all times? Who? The D! That’s Who!” Black and Kyle Gass say, channeling their inner Abbott and Costello. “We’ve been working on this medley for 20 years. It’s finally ready to be unleashed. Crank it. It’s a humdinger. Enjoy.”
The medley will be released on a vinyl single, the proceeds from which will be donated to Everytown. You can preorder your copy now via TenaciousD.com. You can also listen to the medley now via digital outlets, and watch its accompanying video streaming now on YouTube.
Halsey fans are upset that the singer canceled her show Wednesday in Columbia, Maryland due to unsafe weather conditions, but Halsey is just as upset as their fans are.
In the midst of torrential downpours, video posted by fans shows the venue completely flooded, and rats invading the stage.
“Maryland I don’t even know what to say,” Halsey tweeted last night, adding, “But right now I’m heartbroken and panicked and I just want to know when/that you all get home safely. I love you guys more than anything.”
Halsey took to Instagram Live to explain that they travel with weather experts who warn their team if there are any concerts about the weather, but last night’s storm was “unexpected and unpredictable” and one that the “weather experts didn’t even see coming.”
They added that they were told to let fans know to shelter in place, instead of evacuating, and finally, they personally made the decision to cancel the show. Halsey added that they planned to reschedule the show.
“I promise I wanted to [perform] more than anything. But I couldn’t because it would have been SO unsafe if I went out there and people rushed the stage during or after the storm,” Halsey tweeted. “A lot of things were out of my control tonight but I promise everything I COULD choose, I chose your safety.”
They wrote, “I really want to add that I am beyond disappointed with the way the venue handled everything tonight and my rescheduled date will be happening somewhere else. I hear you guys loud and clear I promise.”
Disappointed fans can take heart in the knowledge that Thursday at 6 p.m. ET, Halsey is releasing their much-anticipated song “So Good.”
Fans can soon “slip on down to the oasis”: Garth Brooks’ new Nashville hot spot, called Friends in Low Places, has a tropical and vaguely pirate-centric theme.
He debuted the logo for his new bar on social media, revealing a graphic of lagoon-blue water and palm fronds and the bar’s acronym, FILP, spelled out in bones, with a palm tree representing the “I.”
The theme, of course, comes from a line in the chorus of the Garth mega-hit that gives the bar its name. “Yeah, I’m not big on social graces / Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis / So I’ve got friends in low places.”
Garth has been rolling out news surrounding his new Nashville bar, venue and entertainment complex ever since he announced it this spring. According to the venue’s newly live Twitter page, Friends in Low Places will be opening for business soon.
The singer, whose residency show PLAY is at Resorts World Las Vegas, was honored Wednesday at the property with a declaration of Katy Perry Day in Clark County, Nevada. She was also presented with a giant honorary ‘Key to the Las Vegas Strip.’
Katy told the crowd, “I have a lot of roots here [in Las Vegas]…My aunt was a showgirl here, my grandma was a seamstress here, my dad grew up here, he ended up being a chauffeur here, my parents met here, they got married here, so it’s only natural that I would be on the stage here eventually.”
“But I did not know or think that I’d be getting a key to the Strip, which I hope unlocks some, like, better HVAC,” she joked. “It is really hot in Las Vegas!”
Katy just announced new dates for her PLAY residency. Her current run of shows goes through August, and then she’ll return for shows on October 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 19, 21 and 22. Katy’s 38th birthday is October 25.
After reports that new music from Cardi B would drop next week, the rapper took to social media to set the record straight.
“BARDIGANG I don’t wanna gas y’all and put a battery in yall back ….so I’m going to be the one to tell y’all what @PageSix wrote is not true,” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper tweeted Wednesday. “I actually wish but if y’all been checking in with me on Centerfold y’all know what’s been the issue.”
The tweet came shortly after Page Six reported that Cardi was gearing up to drop a new single next Friday, June 17. According to the post, their source also claimed that the new track would feature a “top male artist in the hip hop game” who is currently very “relevant.”
The news comes as Cardi prepares for the release of her sophomore album. While she hasn’t shared a release date or name for the new project, during an appearance on Playboy’s Centerfold platform over the weekend, the 29-year-old confirmed that 2020’s Megan Thee Stallion-assisted hit “WAP” and 2021’s “Up” will be included.
Is today the day that Britney Spears becomes Mrs. Sam Asghari?
People reports that the singer, 40 and the actor and trainer, 28, will tie the knot in LA in a “fairly intimate wedding” attended by 60 guests. As previously reported, Britney will be wearing a gown by Versace. The two first announced their engagement about nine months ago.
Britney and Sam first met on the set of Britney’s 2016 video for “Slumber Party” and they’ve basically been together ever since, with Sam supporting her emotionally through Britney’s ultimately successful campaign to end her 13-year conservatorship. The couple recently announced that they were expecting, but sadly, they lost the baby.
This will be Sam’s first and Britney’s third marriage. She was previously wed to a childhood friend, Jason Alexander, in a union that was annulled, and then married Kevin Federline, with whom she shares sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15. Britney and Kevin divorced in 2007.
