French Montana wants to lend a helping hand to a cab driver whose car was damaged during celebrations for the NBA’s newest champions: the Knicks.
After coming across a video of the driver watching helplessly watching as a crowd climbed and ran across his cab, French reposted it on X and wrote, “Somebody find him for me so we can help him get back on his feet.” He followed up on Instagram Monday, writing, “lets find this brother.”
The celebrations in New York came after the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the NBA Finals, securing their first championship in 53 years.
French recently added Remy Ma to his collaboration with Max B, “Ever Since You Left Me,” in honor of the Knicks’ playoff run and overall journey.
Steven Curtis Chapmen & Chris Janson’s “America the Beautiful” (SCSEE Music/The Fuel Music)
Chris Janson and Christian music superstar Steven Curtis Chapman have come together to create a new version of “America the Beautiful” for the United States’ 250th birthday on July 4.
“I’ve always believed music has the power to bring people together,” Chris says. “No matter where you’re from or what you believe, we all share this beautiful country and its story. Recording ‘America the Beautiful’ with Steven was an opportunity to celebrate what connects us and remind people that unity starts with listening to one another.”
The two Grand Ole Opry members performed the song together June 12 on the historic stage, along with the children’s choir featured on the track.
Chris’ latest hit, “Me & a Beer,” just peaked at #9 on the Mediabase radio airplay chart.

Bob Dylan turned 85 in May, and in a new opinion piece for The New York Times he reflects on the best and worst things about being an octogenarian.
The article was tied to President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday Sunday, although Dylan doesn’t mention Trump.
Dylan notes that the best part about being 80 “is that you outlive the clocks that have been chasing you.”
“It’s freedom from that lie that anything was ever under control,” he writes. “You don’t chase the parade anymore. You’re an old king from some vanished country. You’re harder to program. You’re not rushing to become anything and you’re not haunted by things that you did.”
He adds, “You’re haunted by how little of it really mattered in the way you thought it would.”
As for the worst things about being 80, Dylan notes, “The old fire in your heart still tells you to do this and that, but your body says we already did it. Also, nothing surprises you. It sounds like a luxury but it’s not, and also you’ve run out of illusions.”
“The really worst part about being 80 is that you find, at last, you’ve got an understanding of something that might have altered everything in the past, had it come at a time when something could still be altered,” he continues. “When you’re young you think that time moves forward. At 80 you know that it doesn’t, it stands still. We’re the ones that move.”
But turning 85 hasn’t slowed Dylan down. He’s currently on a North American tour that hits Santa Barbara on Wednesday. A complete list of dates can be found at BobDylan.com.
Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter, ‘Bring Your Love’ (Warner Records)
Madonna has released a new video for her Sabrina Carpenter duet, “Bring Your Love,” and she’s brought another blonde along for the ride: Julia Garner.
The video is similar to the “Bring Your Love” sequence in Madonna’s short film Confessions II, which she debuted at New York’s Tribeca Festival, and it was directed by the same people. In both, Madonna is shown dancing at a club as masked women dressed like high-tech ninjas pursue her with cameras.
Also in both, Julia, who was originally supposed to portray Madonna in a biopic, appears up at the club, styled like the Queen of Pop circa 1986.
This video, however, starts with Madonna dancing in a huge empty space, before a crowd of sweaty, shirtless men and a crowd of clubgoers charge at each other from opposite sides of the room. They all start dancing and Madonna, who’s rolled up in a piece of black fabric on the floor, gets kicked around before jumping up and welcoming Sabrina to the party.
As the packed dance floor gyrates, Madonna — or her body double — is shown flying and doing flips above the crowd while Sabrina stays on the ground. At the end, Madonna walks down a hallway and into a doorway decorated with a poster reading, “Come to the Club of Love.”
“Bring Your Love” is from Madonna’s album Confessions II, due July 3.

Former Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg and his wife, Chloe Weinberg, have welcomed their first child together.
“Mom and baby are healthy and doing great,” Jay wrote in an Instagram post Sunday announcing the news.
“We’re so thankful for the love and encouragement from our friends and loved ones, and over the moon with excitement to welcome our little girl into this world,” the post continues.
Not only does the baby have a drummer for a dad, she also has a drummer for a grandfather: Max Weinberg, longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. We’re guessing it’s only a matter of time before she makes her way behind the kit, as well.
Jay Weinberg was let go from Slipknot in 2023 after nearly a decade with the masked metallers. Following his departure from the ‘Knot, he joined Suicidal Tendencies before announcing his departure in January.
Jay released his debut solo song, “Sandstone,” in 2025. Another track, “Drone Operator,” followed in March.
Culture Club’s Boy George turned 65 on Sunday, and to mark the occasion he recorded and released a new AI-assisted version of his group’s hit “Karma Chameleon.”
“Created in partnership with @artistincluded, this release showcases how ethical AI can help honor iconic music, celebrate the artists who created it, and introduce songs to new generations of listeners,” reads a post on Culture Club’s Instagram.
Artist Included is described in a press release as a new “artist-first” music and technology company, which aims “to help iconic artists reclaim creative participation, ownership, and long-term value in their music.”
Boy George recorded new vocals for the new take on the 1983 track, with AI used to make those vocals sound closer to the original release.
“Revisiting ‘Karma Chameleon’ in this way was emotional and creatively inspiring,” says Boy George. “The goal was never to replace the original — it was to celebrate it and let the song keep evolving for new audiences.”
Originally released in September 1983, “Karma Chameleon” was the first single off Culture Club’s sophomore album, Colour By Numbers. It spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also topped the U.K. singles chart, where it spent six weeks on top.
In other Boy George news … Bidding is now open for the new Julien’s Auction Bold Luxury: Boy George Edit, which features a curated selection of the singer’s fashion, music memorabilia and art. A live auction will take place July 14 at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.
The Police, U2 and Peter Gabriel were among the artists who performed at the final stop of the Conspiracy of Hope tour, a six-show tour organized on behalf of Amnesty International to raise awareness of human rights issues and celebrate the organization’s 25th anniversary.
The all-day show took place at New Jersey’s Giants Stadium, with The Police closing the concert. The concert was also the last of three Conspiracy of Hope dates played by the band, marking Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers’ first shows together since the group broke up following the Synchronicity tour in 1984.
Other artists on the New Jersey bill included Bryan Adams, Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul, Jackson Browne, Yoko Ono, Howard Jones, Joan Baez and Lou Reed.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump arrived in France on Monday to meet with top global superpowers at the annual G7 summit.
Held in Évian-les-Bains, France, from June 15 to 17, this is the president’s fifth time attending the conference in person and comes amid heightened global turmoil, with the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine expected to loom large over the summit’s economic and geopolitical agenda.
This is the first time the G7 leaders are meeting in-person since the start of the U.S.-Iran war, which has now reached its 15th week and continues to impact the global economy, with increases in fossil fuel and oil and gas prices. The war had caught U.S. allies off guard and some were unwilling to heed the president’s requests for help, which has created tensions between Trump and some G7 leaders.
There is expected to be a focus on the Middle East, with Trump scheduled to participate in bilateral meetings with Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, according to a senior administration official.
While the past week saw significant military escalation between the U.S. and Iran, Trump said Sunday that the two countries had reached an agreement that would open the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the global oil supply passes through.
During the G7 summit last year, Trump left one day early because of the growing conflict between Israel and Iran, and that weekend launched Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Like last year, leaders are also looking to secure lasting peace in Ukraine. It has been 4 1/2 years since Russia invaded Ukraine, but the war is escalating, especially with Ukraine’s expansion of long-range drone attacks against Russia. Trump repeatedly promised that he personally could end the Russia-Ukraine war on the first day of his presidency and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to seek more assistance from allies.
Zelenskyy will meet with G7 leaders on Tuesday, according to a senior administration official, but there is no one-on-one meeting currently scheduled with Trump. Ukraine was also not listed as one of the U.S. goals for the summit, though the administration emphasizes that resolving the conflict remains one of the president’s “top priorities.”
The other six countries that comprise the G7 coalition include France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, but leaders of other countries are often also invited to the annual conference, with Zelenskyy reportedly expected to be in attendance.
During a background call previewing the trip, a senior White House administration official said Trump’s goals include addressing “economic growth and development, supply chain resilience, illegal immigration and artificial intelligence,” in addition to boosting investment partnerships.
Upon assuming his second term, Trump has strained his relationship with the other G7 leaders. In addition to prompting other countries to question his actions in Iran, the president has distanced the U.S. from top allies over his rhetoric towards NATO, his tariffs and his ambitions in acquiring Greenland, to name a few issues.
The conference was originally scheduled to begin on Sunday. Officials did not comment on whether the president’s birthday plans for that day played a role in shifting the G7 schedule forward.
On the final day of the summit on Wednesday, Trump is expected to travel to Paris to have dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles before heading back to Washington.
The song from Toy Story 5 also makes history, becoming the first song by a woman to debut in the top 10 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart. The only other time that’s happened was when Garth Brooks emerged at #1 with “More Than a Memory” in September 2007.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” is currently at #8 on the tally, becoming Taylor’s 19th country top-10, her first since “Red” made it to #7 in December 2013.
Starting with her career-launching hit, “Tim McGraw,” in December 2006, she’s landed 40 songs on Billboard Country Airplay, the most recent being “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” with Chris Stapleton, which made it to #23 in November 2021.
Taylor’s time on the tally includes seven number ones.
