Justin Bieber’s keeping himself busy before he headlines Coachella this weekend.

Justin invited fans to an intimate show at West Hollywood’s legendary club The Troubadour on Saturday, similar to the one he did at LA’s Roxy Theatre on March 29. As with that show, the one at the Troubadour featured Justin only performing songs from his albums SWAG and SWAG II, including “Daisies,” “Yukon,” “Go Baby” and “Devotion.”

Justin has posted several videos from the performance on his Instagram. You can see him sing “All the Way,” “Butterflies” and “Everything Hallelujah.”  

Justin’s sets at Coachella — or as fans have dubbed it, “Bieberchella” — will take place April 11 and 18. While fans seemed to be thrilled with the Troubadour show, one wrote in the comments, “please play some old hits at bieberchella. we adoooore swag but we love all of them too.”

Meanwhile, Justin has teamed up with his wife, Hailey Bieber, to design a new product for her beauty brand, Rhode: a line of pimple patches. Each pack of 36 patches costs $16 and they’re available in five shapes — daisy, shroom, jelly bean, bubble and curve — starting April 13 at 9 a.m. PT at rhodeskin.com.

Jay Electronica was booed at his concert in Los Angeles Saturday, and he took issue with the crowd’s response.

His a cappella version of “Exhibit C” at The Compound was met with jeers, prompting him to stop his set and directly confront his hecklers.

“If you f*** with me, shut the f*** up and listen to the bars!” he said. “Whoever boos, we know you the enemy, n****, and you a coward! … ‘Cause you won’t boo in my face.”

He then walked into the audience in search of the people reacting negatively to his performance. “See how they shut the f*** up! They p****!” he said.

“My fans know I ain’t talking to them. We on the same team,” Jay continued. “I came to swing my sword at the enemy. If you want to boo, that’s fine; I’ve been booed at concerts before. But grow some nuts and boo in my face.”

Jay Electronica is currently on his Nineteen Day Reconnaissance Tour, which promotes his 2025 projects A Written Testimony: Leaflets, A Written Testimony: Power at the Rate of My Dreams and A Written Testimony: Mars, the Inhabited Planet.

He recently announced an all-star benefit concert, presented by Women Working Together Globally. Set for June 21 at New York’s Town Hall Theater, it will see Jay perform with some of his friends while supporting “youth focused initiatives in STEM, healthy living, mental health, anti bullying, tech access, and sports” and “building a safe, supportive village for kids, teens, and families,” according to the venue’s website.

Lady Gaga is hitting the “Runway” for The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Gaga was photographed on the set of the film, but so far she hasn’t been officially announced as a cast member. However, it was revealed Monday that she’s recorded a new song for the highly anticipated sequel. She and “Anxiety” singer Doechii have recorded “Runway,” which you can hear in the final trailer for the movie, out now.

“You were born for the runway,” you can hear Gaga sing at the end of the trailer. The Devil Wears Prada 2, which reunites original cast members Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep, arrives in theaters on May 1.

“All the Love” for Ye’s new album, Bully, has helped it earn a #2 spot on the Billboard 200.

The project earned 152,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending April 2, marking Ye’s 14th #1 album to date. It also leads Top Streaming Albums with 96,000 streams and holds the #3 spot on Top Album Sales with 56,000 album copies sold.

Ye’s latest achievement arrives as Gamma, the label behind the release, revealed via Instagram Story that a deluxe version of Bully is on the way.

Bully dropped on March 28 with 18 tracks, some of which were performed during back-to-back shows marking Ye’s return to LA’s SoFi Stadium. He also took the stage with some of his classic hits, including “All Falls Down,” which he performed with Lauryn Hill on his second night.

Lauryn also sang “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and “Lost Ones” before bringing out Zion Marley and YG Marley to join her for “Heartbeat,” “Crisis” and “Praise Jah in the Moonlight.”

Travis Scott joined Ye for a performance of “Father,” while CeeLo Green appeared for “Bully.” North West and André Troutman also returned after appearing on the first night.

Ye has more shows planned for 2026, including a headlining set at London’s Wireless Festival, which has already faced backlash. Pepsi and Diageo, for example, have pulled their sponsorships following the announcement.

“Pepsi has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of Wireless Festival,” a Pepsi spokesperson told The Independent.

According to the publication, Diageo told the Press Association, “We have informed the organisers of our concerns and as it stands, Diageo will not sponsor the 2026 Wireless festival.”

Journey’s Neal Schon has addressed fans following a recent Rolling Stone article that looked into the behind-the-scenes drama of their current Final Frontier farewell tour.

The article featured interviews with Schon, Jonathan Cain and singer Arnel Pineda, who revealed he originally didn’t want to do the tour. Pineda said efforts to reach out to the band regarding his feelings were met with silence, so he felt he had no choice but to go on the road. When asked about it, Schon called Pineda’s feelings “very confusing” and noted they had all signed contracts for the tour.

Schon has since shared a post on social media, arguing that the article didn’t “reflect the full picture” of what was happening ahead of the tour; he also denied pressuring anyone into touring.

“Over the years, Journey has always been about the music and the fans first,” Schon wrote. “There’s been some recent press and speculation that doesn’t reflect the full picture. Touring at this level involves many moving parts, and decisions are made collectively with our team, including management, agents, and promoters.”

“Like any long-running band, there are moments where people feel the pressure differently,” he continued. “I respect that, and I have nothing but appreciation for what everyone brings to the stage.”

“For clarity, no one was ever prevented by me from making their own personal decisions,” he wrote. “At the same time, we were all advised by our representatives that there are contractual obligations tied to touring that need to be honored.”

Finally, Schon noted, “My focus has always been — and remains — delivering the best possible experience for our fans and keeping the music alive.”

Journey’s Final Frontier farewell tour hits Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Monday. A complete list of dates can be found at JourneyMusic.com.
