Snoop Dogg has officially been married for 28 years. He and his wife, Shante Broadus, took to Instagram Saturday to wish each other a happy anniversary.

“Happy anniversary @bosslady_ent,” Snoop wrote on Instagram, alongside a montage of some of their moments together and clips of him expressing his love for her.

In Shante’s tribute to Snoop, she shared a carousel post featuring various photos of them. “Happy Anniversary @snoopdogg Thank You For All You Do #28,” she wrote in the caption.

Snoop and Shante are high school sweethearts who met at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California, got married in June 1997 and renewed their vows in 2008, welcoming three kids along the way.

Snoop most recently expressed his gratitude for his “beautiful wife” while accepting the Ultimate Icon Award at BET Awards 2025.

“See, this is why I’m so rock solid,” he said of Shante. “This is why I’m able to deal with all of the things I’m able to deal with. I’ve got God in my life, and I’ve got a queen in my life.”

“No matter what, she held me down, she hold me down, she’s always been there for me,” he continued. “She’s always been my everything. That’s why she’s onstage tonight. That’s why she’s in my life.”

Billy Joel recently had to cancel all his scheduled tour dates while he deals with his diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus, which causes problems with vision, balance and hearing. But in her Father’s Day message, Billy’s wife predicted that the Piano Man will be back to pounding the keys in 2026.

Posting a carousel of photos of Billy and the couple’s daughters, Della and Remy, Alexis Roderick Joel wrote, “This Father’s Day is extra special. We are always grateful and thankful but this year really reminded us how lucky we are to have you. We are so blessed to have such a strong, determined man in our lives.”

“You are a wonderful support for us and we only hope we can be the same for you,” she continued. “We love you and know you will be rocking out next year.”

Billy’s oldest daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, whose mother is Billy’s ex-wife Christie Brinkley, posted a photo of Billy holding her when she was a toddler; he’s smiling and she has chocolate smeared all over her face.

“Happy Father’s Day, Pop. The King Of New York. Thanks for giving me all the love, wisdom, melodies, heart, and soul I could ever ask for. Hey, I’m even lucky enough to have a timeless lullaby and a beautiful boat named after me!” she captioned the post.

“I remain forever touched and grateful that you have given me so much. Thank you for your generous spirit, endlessly deep intellect, and sweeping musical legacy,” she continued. “Every moment with you is an instant classic.”

Drake called Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh a goof, seemingly for attending Kendrick Lamar‘s concert in Toronto. Drake shared a screenshot of a DM he sent Singh that said “you’re a goof.” Singh responded, “I went for SZA, not Kendrick. I was born in this city. I love this city. But real talk, I get it, I shouldn’t have gone at all. OVO and Drake have lifted up this city and [Canada]. For me, it’ll always be Drake over Kendrick.” Drake then unfollowed Singh on Instagram.

After learning how much Adin Ross makes from streaming, Young Thug joked he might consider changing his profession. “I’ma stop doing music and start streaming. I think I’m gonna stop. I’m telling ya, I’m done rapping and gonna start streaming,” he said on a stream with Ross. “Y’all live a cool life. Y’all go everywhere everyday. Y’all got cats wondering around this b****. Y’all got all types of crazy stuff.”

Ne-Yo recently recalled the time his studio session with Keyshia Cole didn’t work out. “I don’t know if something had happened before she got there, but she kinda came in the studio on 10 a little bit, which had already rubbed me the wrong way because I was like, ‘Damn, I don’t even know you. Why are you mad at me?'” he recalled on the We Sound Crazy podcast. He says he eventually sang a song he’d drafted and was met with the response, “Yeah that’s cool hold on.” Ne-Yo claims Keyshia then left the room and never returned.

Heart’s Nancy Wilson blasts use of ‘Barracuda’ at Trump’s military parade

Heart’s Nancy Wilson is not happy that the band’s classic track “Barracuda” was played during Saturday’s military parade in Washington, D.C.

“Earlier today, during a parade held in support of our nation’s military and organized by President Donald Trump, the song ‘Barracuda’ by Heart was played without permission or authorization from us,” she shared on social media. “‘Barracuda,’ written and performed by Ann and I, is a powerful piece of music that was never intended for political use.”

She added, “As daughters of a U.S. Marine Corps major, we hold a deep and abiding respect for the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces. On a day meant to honor that service, it’s important that music used in such settings reflects not only the tone of the event but also the wishes of the artists who created it.”

Accompanying the post was a photo of Nancy wearing a “No Kings But Us” hat, seemingly referencing the “No Kings” protests that took place across the country on Saturday in response to Trump’s military parade.

Released in 1977, “Barracuda” was the lead single off Heart’s third studio album, Little Queen. The track peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100

Jonas Brothers downsize six stadium dates to arenas and amphitheaters

Jonas Brothers‘ upcoming 20th anniversary tour will be a bit smaller than expected.

Variety reports that six shows that the group planned to do in stadiums across the U.S. this summer have been canceled and replaced with shows in either arenas or amphitheaters. The affected dates are LA, Philadelphia, Detroit, Dallas, Washington, D.C. and Chicago. In LA, for example, instead of Dodger Stadium, the group will now play Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

While the new shows are taking place on the same day as the stadium dates, fans are being required to re-buy tickets if they want to attend. Ticketholders are getting full refunds for their original tickets, and then are being given “priority status” when the new shows go on sale next week, Variety reports.  

In an Instagram Story to fans captured by a Reddit user, JoBros wrote, “We’re pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we’ve ever done. We love performing for you and sharing this journey together … we apologize for any inconvenience these changes have caused and we can’t wait to see you on the road.”

JoBros are releasing a new album, Greetings From Your Hometown, on Aug. 8.

Boy George & Culture Club, a documentary about the hitmaking ’80s British group, premiered last week at New York’s Tribeca Festival. Bass player Mikey Craig says he’s pleased that at long last, the true history of the band — comprised of himself, singer Boy George, drummer Jon Moss and guitarist Roy Hay — is being told.

“There’ve been so many bad versions of what happened,” Mikey tells ABC Audio. “Finally, here we are now with an honest, pretty accurate version of the events.” 

As director Alison Ellwood notes, “The focus so often is on George that the others, I think, really appreciated the opportunity to be able to tell their side.” 

The film actually gave Mikey “a renewed appreciation of George,” he says.

“He’s actually a genius, basically,” Mikey says of the flamboyant frontman. “A genius is not easy to deal with at times, but he is a genius. And ideas just flow from him. It’s incredible.”

Watching the film, Mikey was also surprised to hear Moss’ thoughts on George; the two were romantically involved during the band’s heyday.

“I got a real emotional kind of surge when Jon said that he still loved George,” shares Mikey. “I mean, I knew they were in love … but I didn’t realize he still had those kind of feelings … that was quite a big surprise, and that really touched my heart.”

Ellwood hopes that the film will give fans “an understanding of the depth and sophistication” of Culture Club’s music; she also feels that Jon and George’s love story “has more resonance now, maybe, than ever.”

“As George says so poignantly in the film, ‘Why do you care [if I’m gay]? If it doesn’t affect you, why do you care?'” Ellwood notes. “And I hope that that’s a message that people walk away with.”

How have people responded to Riley Green‘s steamy video for “Worst Way”?

Well, exactly like you’d probably expect, according to the clip’s hunky star.

“The comments — and even comments on Instagram and stuff like that — I think a lot of my buddies get a lot of enjoyment out of watching that,” Riley tells ABC Audio. “[There’s] a lot of entertainment on social media, looking at the crazy stuff people say.”

But don’t misunderstand: Riley’s not upset about it. 

“It certainly has changed, not necessarily my demographic, but maybe the topic of my demographic for a little while,” he says. “The music video was pretty steamy, I guess.”

“And the song is, I mean, it’s a very forward song,” he adds. “And honestly, when I wrote it, I was a little iffy about even putting it out. You know, like, was that the direction I wanted to go? But it’s certainly worked for us.” 

“Worst Way” is the closing track on Riley’s 2024 Don’t Mind If I Do album.
