November 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Cardi B has welcomed her fourth child, a rep confirmed to ABC News on Friday.

The rapper, 33, is already a mom to daughters Blossom Cephus and Kulture Cephus and son Wave Cephus, whom she shares with ex Offset, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus.

This is her first child with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots.

The rapper posted a Reel to Instagram on Thursday, set to her hit song “Hello,” writing about this new season of life in the caption.

“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons,” she wrote. “My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it.”

She continued, “I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”

Cardi B dropped her most recent album, Am I the Drama?, in September. She is set to kick off her upcoming tour in support of that album, the Little Miss Drama Tour, in February.

“I’ve started prepping for tour getting my body right getting my mind right,” she wrote in her Instagram post on Thursday. “There’s nothing thats gonna stop me from giving you guys the performance of a life time!”

“I’ve learned i’ve healed, and im loving the woman i’ve become!” she added. “Thats what this next era means to me and i’m stepping into it better than ever.”

Cardi B first confirmed she was pregnant in September. At the time, she credited Diggs for making her feel “safe and very confident and very strong,” and making her feel as if she “could take over the world.”

“I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong,” she said at the time. “I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”

Styx’s Dennis DeYoung is not happy with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

November 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Former Styx fromtman Dennis DeYoung is calling out the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for waiting too long to induct some rock legends.

In a post on Facebook, he cites the recent induction of Bad Company as an example of this. They’d been eligible for over 25 years before finally being inducted on Nov. 8. Two members — Mick Ralphs and Boz Burrell — died before they were inducted, and frontman Paul Rodgers had to pull out of the ceremony out of concerns for his health.

“Speaking of the Rock Hall it’s a shame that Bad Company had to wait so long to get in that it rendered Paul Rodgers unable to perform due to health concerns,” he writes. “Bollocks!! I would have liked to have seen him perform years ago to demonstrate how one of rock’s premiere singers ACTUALLY ROCKS.”

“The induction ceremony clearly pointed out the tragic manner in which this joint operates,” he continues. “Making so many musicians wait until they either incapacitated or dead is shameful. Joe Cocker, Warren Zevon et al are suddenly eligible decades after their success? Explain that, what’s changed except the Hall’s inability to let go of their clear prejudices and induct them?”

DeYoung notes that the Hall’s “mission statement about who qualifies was always a ruse and a joke concocted to protect their own personal choices.”

He adds, “I have said this before — as someone whose band has never been considered, whatever I write ends up sounding like sour grapes. ‘Sour Grapes’ would be a good name for a band.”

The Jonas Brothers meet Scott Kelly — and find out if he got the job

November 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

If you’re chronically online, you may be aware of Scott Kelly: He’s the guy whose resume was seen being reviewed during a Jonas Brothers concert. Thanks to Jimmy Fallon, Kelly and the JoBros finally came face to face, and we now know whether or not he got the job.

During Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas‘ concert Nov. 9 in Buffalo, New York, a TikTok user filmed someone in the audience looking at Kelly’s resume on his phone and posted it with the caption, “Scott Kelly, your resume was being reviewed at a Jonas Brothers concert tonight. Good luck.”

The video went viral, racking up nearly 8 million views, and each of the JoBros commented on it. “Bro. Scott Kelly was there for me plenty of times. Hired,” Joe wrote. Kevin added, “I’m one of Scott Kelly’s references,” while Nick joked that Kelly’s “work ethic and critical thinking inspired me to write the line ‘red dress’ [in ‘Burnin’ Up.’]”

Fallon tracked Kelly down and brought him on The Tonight Show Thursday to surprise JoBros, and he was finally able to tell his story: He’d never actually applied for a job. Kelly, who’s ex-special forces, shared that Brandon, the guy who was looking at his resume, was another veteran with whom he’d been in the same infantry battalion in 2014.

Scott explained that Brandon is always looking to hire veteran talent because it can be “very challenging” to transition from military to civilian life. “He and I are gonna link up,” Kelly added, noting that Brandon is going to be a guest on his podcast, where they’ll discuss how veterans can help each other.

Kelly then admitted to JoBros, “I had never heard of you before this.” Now, of course, he’s “a huge fanboy.”

Riley Green’s keeping it real heading into Country Music’s Biggest Night

November 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Even though Riley Green‘s nominated for four trophies and he’s set to perform during the CMA Awards Wednesday, he confesses he still feels a little like an outsider at Country Music’s Biggest Night.

“It’s never something that you really expect,” he says of the attention. “I always think about things as just a fan of country music because it’s not too long ago that I was, you know.”

“And you see the names that are mentioned in winnin’ these awards and being nominated, and then to get kinda thrown in with that is always a big deal,” he adds. “[I’m] excited to have it listed up there with all these other great songs and collaborations.”

Riley’s up for single, song and music video of the year for “you look like you love me” with Ella Langley and musical event for “Don’t Mind If I Do” with Ella.

He’s also set to perform his #1 “Worst Way.”

In 2024, Riley and Ella both won their first CMAs for musical event for “you look like you love me.”

Joe Walsh hopes to make a difference at annual VetsAid concert

November 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh is set to host his ninth annual VetsAid concert on Saturday, which raises money for veteran-related causes.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is a longtime advocate for veterans issues, something that is personal to him, as he’s a Gold Star Family member. His father died in 1949 serving our country when Walsh was just 20 months old.

Walsh tells ABC Audio that he came up with the idea for VetsAid in 2017, after spending years going around the country meeting with veterans and realizing they weren’t getting the help they needed.

“I thought maybe I can make a difference here,” he says. “I always felt guilty not having a benefit. … It was, ‘Duh. You can do something there.'”

This year’s concert is taking place at the INTRUST Bank Arena in Walsh’s hometown of Wichita, Kansas. He says it’s “overwhelming” to be doing the show there.

“I’m just Joe here, you know,” he says. “That’s how Wichita is.”

This year’s lineup includes Vince Gill; Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen; and a “super-set” from Walsh, joined by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band, Nathaniel Rateliff and other special guests. It will be streamed live on Veeps. While fans will be getting a great night of music, Joe hopes they come away with more than just a good time.

Walsh says he wants the concert to bring “more awareness for veterans and their situation,” but that’s not all.

“I want to show that with no politics involved, people can come and hear music,” he says. “People who don’t agree can sit next to each other. Politics doesn’t matter. Everybody has a good time, recharges, and goes home happy. … That’s a good feeling.”

Taylor Momsen feels ‘strangely emotional’ about new Pretty Reckless holiday EP: ‘It’s kinda deep’

November 14, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Pretty Reckless‘ new holiday EP is out Friday on physical formats following its digital release in October. The set includes a rendition of the song “Where Are You Christmas?,” which frontwoman Taylor Momsen originally sang as a child actress in the 2000 movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Momsen, who would go on to star in the TV series Gossip Girl, famously retired from acting to focus on The Pretty Reckless, and has long distanced herself from her past career. In revisiting “Where Are You Christmas?,” Momsen discovered an unexpected opportunity to bridge the two parts of her life.

“It was something that the fans have been asking for since I started The Pretty Reckless, and it was something that I never ever thought I would do,” Momsen tells ABC Audio. “Fast-forward a few years later, I went through a very hard time in my life and was doing a lot of reflecting, you know, all the things that come along with that.”

She continues, “We ended up jamming it through as a band during the holidays once, and by the end of the song, we all had giant grins on our faces.”

With “Where Are You Christmas?” and the EP, dubbed Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas, Momsen hopes “to just spread joy,” but the project has also had a profound personal impact on her.

“It’s kind of me accepting my past and bringing it into my future,” Momsen says. “It’s actually strangely emotional.”

“It’s a Christmas record,” she laughs. “But it’s kinda deep.”

In addition to the Christmas EP, The Pretty Reckless has released a new, non-holiday single, “For I Am Death,” which currently sits at #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
