(NOTE LANGUAGE) In her new single, “Dead to Me,” DaniLeigh isn’t holding back her negative feelings towards a certain “someone” in her life…and that “someone” seems to be her rapper ex-boyfriend and father to her baby daughter, DaBaby

In the track, which dropped Tuesday, the “Lil Bebe” singer confesses her extreme dislike for whomever caused “toxic energy” in her life. 

The chorus of the new song goes, “You know you dead to me, never kept your word with what you said to me/ You know you dead to me, I ain’t got no more time for toxic energy, oh no/ Mama never liked yo’ a**, brotha wanna fight yo’ a**, Daddy hate yo’ triflin’ a**.”

The close-to-three-minute track is said to address her hurtful and highly publicized unhealthy relationship with DaBaby, which lasted a little over a year, according to reports. 

Their time together was marked with numerous fights and altercations made public for the world to watch. What may have been the last straw for DaniLeigh was the assault charged she faced as a result of a vicious argument, shared via IG live, after the singer accused DaBaby with kicking her and her newborn out of his North Carolina home. 

After announcing her pregnancy in July of last year, DaniLeigh gave birth to her first child, Velour, whom she shares with the “Suge” rapper. 

In honor of Mother’s Day this past Sunday, she penned a sweet message to her daughter on Instagram, thanking her baby girl for “giving me purpose.”

Tyler Hubbard has new music in the works. 

On Monday, the hitmaker teased a new song, and while it leaves much to the imagination, he does give fans a preview of the melody, which offers a perky, pop-country sound layered with his voice in the background. 

“I can’t wait to show y’all what I’ve been working on. New music coming soon. Who’s ready?” Tyler captions the clip. 

Many of his colleagues chimed in with their support, including Russell Dickerson, who praised “SMASHES ON SMASHES!!!!” Jake Owen added, “Come on with it,” while Tyler’s wife, Hayley Hubbard, responded with a simple “yay” along with the smiling face emoji with three hearts. 

Tyler is one-half of the hit duo Florida Georgia Line. He and band mate Brian Kelley revealed in February that FGL was going on hiatus, and the two have have been working on solo projects. The duo will reunite for a series of tour dates this summer.

Mike Tyson to face no charges in punching incident onboard airplane

Mike Tyson will not face charges in the April 20 incident in which he was seen on a viral video punching a passenger onboard a JetBlue flight in San Francisco. 

The San Mateo County DA’s office announced Tuesday that after reviewing police reports and videos, it has decided not to file charges against Tyson. The office said its decision is based on circumstances surrounding the confrontation, including requests by the victim that no charges be filed, the interactions between the victim and Tyson, and the conduct of the victim leading up to the incident.

As previously reported, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation into the incident after the former heavyweight champ allegedly punched a fellow passenger on a still-grounded airplane. The exchange, caught on video and shared by TMZ, is said to have been a result of Tyson being provoked by the passenger who, according to eyewitnesses, was intoxicated.

A rep for the Tyson noted in April, “Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat.”

Madonna is the latest star to get into the NFT business, but she’s doing it for a good cause

She’s teamed with digital artist Beeple, aka Mike Winkelmann, who made headlines last year when one of his NFT‘s was auctioned off by Christie’s for $69,400,000.  The two have created a three-part digital artwork called Mother of Creation, which “explores the concept of birth via darkness and light in our modern world.” 

The three NFTs will be sold on SuperRare on May 11 with a starting price of one dollar. All the proceeds will go to three charities: The Voices of Children Foundation, The City of Joy Foundation and Black Mama’s Bail Out.

The three parts of the work include Mother of Nature, featuring a blooming tree and new text by Madonna; Mother of Evolution, which features butterflies, lyrics from Madonna’s hit “Justify My Love,” and original music by Igor Bardykin; and Mother of Technology, which depicts how science can illuminate the world and features the poetry of Rumi.

“When Mike and I decided to collaborate on this project a year ago, I was excited to have the opportunity to share my vision of the world as a mother and an artist with Mike’s own unique point of view,” Madonna says in a statement. “It’s been an amazing journey building this together from an intellectual idea to an emotional story, giving birth to art.”

She adds, “Most importantly we wanted to use this opportunity to benefit mothers and children who are most in need right now.”

Madonna and Beeple will be on SuperRare’s Twitter Spaces on May 11 at 7 p.m. ET to discuss the project.

Jessica Biel admits marriage isn’t easy and credits husband Justin Timberlake for building and maintaining its strong foundation.

The actress was at the premiere of her new true crime series, Candy, where she was asked by Entertainment Tonight about what keeps their marriage alive. “It’s a good question, right?” she remarked.  “I’ll have to give Justin the credit in this moment, for this one thing that he always says to me: ‘We might be married, but we have to keep dating,’ and it’s so true.”

“You just have to keep making time for each other and you have to keep making each other a priority. And do the things that you love together,” Biel continued. “It’s not always easy, as we all know, but those touch point moments make all the hard times palatable.”

Justin was Biel’s date to the Candy premiere and the actress said that in itself was another testament to their strong marriage. “It’s always fun to celebrate something that you’re proud of, and to do it with him and have a glass of wine — it feels special,” she grinned.

Candy is now streaming on Hulu and the actress previously revealed she drew inspiration for her character, Candy Montgomery, from her husband. Candy’s short, curly hair is reminiscent of Justin’s NSYNC days, and Biel said Justin “laughed” over the similarities.

“Let’s get serious, he had beautiful curls,” the Sinner star added.

Jessica and Justin wed in 2012 and share two sons, seven-year-old Silas and two-year-old Phineas.

GAYLE says she loves checking out other singers when scrolling through TikTok — meaning, if you post videos of you singing in your bedroom, chances are she’s seen it.

“My favorite thing to look at on TikTok, most of the time, is just people posting their music,” the “abcdefu” singer told Seventeen. “They’re just in their bedrooms or in the bathrooms writing songs and they’re really beautiful!  The lyrics are just so stunning.”

GAYLE says she also enjoys looking at videos posted by “college students that are writing songs, even like the Berkeley kids, and their songwriting classes.”

“That’s something I really enjoy watching, or even just people playing instruments really well in ways that I could just never,” she continued. “I’m just like, ‘That’s awesome!'”

The 17-year-old hitmaker later revealed the artist she most wants to collaborate with is “Issues” singer Julia Michaels.  “I’m just going to say this over and over again until maybe, one day, she pays attention and then she can tell me ‘no’ to my face,” GAYLE joked, adding she’s “totally fine with” that.

“No pressure.  I love you and I will love you from afar,” she remarked.  “But call me.”

Gayle also revealed she wanted to be a singer since she was seven.  “I was watching this compilation of Aretha Franklin  — it was like a 15-, 30-minute video — and when I was watching it, I was just like, ‘That’s it!  That’s what I wanna do with my life,'” she recalled.  “What she was doing was just so inspiring and so powerful and I just felt something I had never felt before.”

GAYLE teased she “will definitely have more music out” and “performing more” sometime soon, adding she will also be “possibly doing some fun stuff outside of music.”
