DaBaby continues his streak of music releases with “Don’t Insult Me,” featuring his daughter Twin.
The track is described in a press release as “one of the most personal moments in DaBaby’s recent catalog,” as he raps about the pride and protection over his brand and the success he’s worked hard to obtain.
“Don’t insult me, ’cause I done work hard for this/ Now n***** salty, ungrateful for the time I spent,” he raps. “That’s when n***** lost me, I’m all for playin’ my part/ So don’t insult me.”
The song arrives alongside a music video where paparazzi and media swarm around DaBaby, prompting Twin to use her superpowers to blow reporters away and protect her father. The clip also sees the two levitating together among the surrounding press.
Coinciding with the release is DaBaby’s forthcoming album, Be More Grateful, which is now available for preorder. Those who preorder will receive access to “Don’t Insult Me,” “PBJT,” “Letter to My YN,” “Paper Low” and “Out Ya Business.”

The Guess Who’s Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman are opening up about the lawsuit that helped them get back the rights to the band’s name.
In October 2023, they filed a suit that accused former bandmates Jim Kale and Garry Peterson of tricking fans into thinking Cummings and Bachman were still performing with The Guess Who, when they were actually getting a “cover band.”
In a new interview with the Q with Tom Powerpodcast, Cummings says they filed the suit because they were “very upset with what the fake band had done.”
“At first, it didn’t bother me so much, but it went on and on … it was just enough already,” he said.
The pair said it wasn’t just that other people were playing their music under The Guess Who name. They said those musicians would say they wrote the band’s classic tunes like “These Eyes” and “American Woman,” would use Guess Who records to promote their shows and would even sign their names on the band’s albums.
Cummings noted, “They got to the point where they believed it was their stuff.”
“We decided to finally go to mediation in LA and not leave the room until it was decided,” Bachman said, with Cummings noting that during the mediation the two sides “were arguing and fighting that whole time.”
They settled the case in September 2023, and the first thing Cummings wanted to do was put a band together with Bachman. “He and I knew we could put together a tremendous show,” he said. “I knew right away, I said, ‘This is gonna be fun.'”
Cummings and Bachman are now set to return to the stage as The Guess Who, with their first show on Jan. 31 Niagara Falls, Ontario. They will also kick off a Canadian tour on May 26 in Moncton.

(WASHINGTON) — California Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa has died at the age of 65, according to his office — as President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leaders reacted Tuesday to the seven-term congressman’s unexpected death.
LaMalfa’s chief of staff, Mark Spannagel, released a statement on behalf of the congressman’s office confirming his death early Tuesday morning.
“Early this morning Congressman Doug LaMalfa returned home to the Lord. He leaves a lasting legacy of servant leadership [and] kindness to the North State,” the statement noted. “His humor and work effort are legendary – with one reporter once saying he’d look in the back yard of every BBQ just to see if Doug was there visiting.”
“Congressman LaMalfa cared deeply for the people he served and worked tirelessly to hold the government to its word to fix our failing forests, build water storage, and leave people to be free to choose what is best for themselves,” the statement continued. “His tragic and unexpected passing leaves a deep impact on many. He leaves behind his amazing wife Jill, four children, one grandchild, two sisters and a host of cousins.”
LaMalfa’s untimely death cuts into Speaker Johnson’s thin majority, with 218 Republicans and 213 Democrats leaving GOP leaders with a two-vote margin. This comes just a day after Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from office a year before her term was set to expire.
“Congress is devastated to learn this morning about the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Doug LaMalfa,” Johnson, R-La., said in a statement. “Doug was a lifelong resident of northern California and deeply loved its people. He was as fierce of a fighter for his state’s vast natural resources and beauty as we have ever known. We are mourning the loss of our friend and brother today and we send our respects for his life and work to his wife Jill and the LaMalfa family during this difficult time.”
President Trump, speaking Tuesday morning at a House Republican retreat at the recently renamed Kennedy Center, reacted to LaMalfa’s passing — praising him as “a fierce champion on California water issues.”
“Before we go any further, I want to express our tremendous sorrow at the loss of a great member, a great, great, great member: Congressman Doug LaMalfa,” Trump said.
“He was great on water. He wanted to release the water, he’d scream out, and a true defender of American children. He was a defender of everybody. And our hearts go out to his wife, Jill and his entire family,” Trump added.
The president claimed that LaMalfa voted with him “100% of the time” and wasn’t a member that the speaker needed the president to whip into line.
“I spoke to Doug, but I didn’t speak to him about — I mean, I never had a problem,” Trump said. “And I was really, I was really saddened by his passing and was thinking about not even doing the speech in his honor. But then I decided that I have to do it in his honor. I’ll do it in his honor, because he would have wanted it that way.”
Across the aisle, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who took office in 2013 alongside LaMalfa, extended his condolences to the congressman’s family and constituents.
“I join people across Northern California in mourning the untimely passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. A fourth-generation rice farmer, Rep. LaMalfa treasured his community, worked powerfully to protect California’s farmers and served those he represented with principled purpose, from the state legislature to the United States House of Representatives,” Jeffries, D-N.Y., stated. “Doug and I joined the Congress as classmates in 2013, and it was an honor to witness firsthand his passion and personal resolve for more than a decade.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said flags at the California State Capitol will be flown at half-staff in honor of LaMalfa.
“Congressman Doug LaMalfa was a devoted public servant who deeply loved his country, his state, and the communities he represented. While we often approached issues from different perspectives, he fought every day for the people of California with conviction and care. He will be deeply missed,” Newsom said in a statement.
Before coming to Washington, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy not only served in the California state legislature with LaMalfa — the two were roommates.
“Doug was first and foremost a devoted husband and father, inspired by his Christian faith and values to make the lives of others better. Many will remember him as a principled legislator, but he was also a commonsense rice farmer through and through, spending his time in Congress fighting for family farms on agriculture, water, and resource issues, as well as working to eliminate government waste like California’s high-speed rail,” McCarthy wrote on X. “Always thoughtful and affable, Doug was the unanimous choice of his colleagues to lead the Western Caucus in Congress. He will be truly missed.”
The X-Men take center stage in the new teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday.
Marvel released the third teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday on Tuesday, and it stars Patrick Stewart back as Charles Xavier and Ian McKellen returning as Magneto.
The trailer, which runs a little over a minute, finds the pair reuniting over a game of chess.
“Death comes for us all. That’s all I know for sure. The question isn’t, ‘Are you prepared to die?’ The question is, ‘Who will you be when you close your eyes?'” McKellen’s Magneto says in the teaser.
We then see James Marsden in character as Cyclops. He tears off his visor and unleashes a powerful red beam from his eyes.
Stewart, McKellen and Marsden first appeared together in these roles in the 2000 film X-Men.
The teaser ends with a black screen and text that reads, “The X-Men will return in Avengers: Doomsday.”
Directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo took to Instagram to share the new teaser, writing, “Who will you be… When you close your eyes… #FearDoom.”
This is the third teaser for the film. It follows a previous trailer that showed off the return of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, a character who hasn’t appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, as well as one that focused on Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor.
Avengers: Doomsday will arrive in theaters on Dec. 18, 2026.

After linking up with Aerosmith and The Smashing Pumpkins, Yungblud is looking to work alongside another all-star collaborator.
The “Zombie” artist tells the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast that he hit it off with Eddie Vedder when they both performed at a private company party in December.
“Eddie’s such an inspiration to me, especially vocally,” Yungblud says of the Pearl Jam frontman. “I think we might write together in the future.”
Yungblud does also have a connection to Vedder through producer Andrew Watt, with whom he’s working on a new record. Watt previously produced Vedder’s 2022 solo album, Earthling, and played in his Earthlings solo band.
Yungblud’s Aerosmith collaboration, the EP One More Time, was released in November, and he just put out a new version of his song “Zombie” with the Pumpkins on Friday.
Jonas Brothers are fans of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze® almond milk, so they’ve partnered with the brand for an ad campaign that pokes fun at AI-generated content.
In a video, the brothers’ team pitches them on ad ideas for the partnership, which they’ve used AI to create. One shows them enjoying the product while floating in outer space, while another one shows them dressed as milkmen, riding on the back of a giant almond galloping down the street.
Another one shows the brothers as shirtless, idealized versions of themselves, drinking almond milk in a hazy, dream-like fantasy setting. But the horrified guys reject all the ideas, though Joe Jonas is somewhat into the shirtless one.
“If we’re gonna do a partnership with Almond Breeze, we’ll just tell people it’s really good,” says Nick Jonas. Their team immediately hails this as a brilliant marketing concept. “You boys are disrupters,” says one of them. “Where do you get this stuff?”
Ten minutes later, the team has created an AI ad based on the slogan “Almond Breeze: It’s Really Good.” “You should leave,” says Kevin Jonas.
According to a press release, JoBros were “deeply involved” in the ad, to make sure it “reflects their unique personalities and comedic chemistry.”
“Life on the road means being intentional about what we put into our bodies,” they say in a statement, adding that the partnership “felt natural because it’s a product we genuinely use and love.”

Eric Clapton kicked off a six-night residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall, treating the crowd to such classic songs as “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Wonderful Tonight” and “Cocaine,” as well as Cream tracks “White Room” and “Sunshine of Your Love.”
The residency became a near-annual event for Clapton. In 1991, he played a whopping 24 shows at Royal Albert Hall, breaking his own record for the longest run of concerts at the venue.
During that run, Clapton performed with three lineups — a rock band, a blues band and an orchestra. In June 2024, he released a box set, The Definitive 24 Nights, featuring performances from that run.
Clapton’s most recent Royal Albert Hall residency took place in May 2025. He has not yet revealed plans to play the venue in 2026.
Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat of Arizona, and his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, appear on ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” Jan. 6, 2026. ABC News
(NEW YORK) — Sen. Mark Kelly said he would “absolutely not” have changed his message to U.S. troops about not following illegal orders, despite now knowing that it would result in a censure.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth censured Kelly, a Democrat of Arizona, on Monday for “conduct [that] was seditious in nature,” referring to a video Kelly participated in in November that told United States service members they have a right to refuse unlawful orders.
Hegseth alleged that Kelly “counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders” in the video. Kelly and others who participated in the video have disputed that claim.
“Let me make this perfectly clear, though, Gabby and I are not people that back down,” Kelly said on Tuesday during an appearance with his wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords, on “Good Morning America.” “From anything, from any kind of fight.”
The administrative action, which is a less consequential action than a court-martial, will result in a reduction in rank and Kelly’s retirement pay, a process Hegseth says will take 45 days.
The video prompted fierce criticism from President Donald Trump, who called it “seditious behavior” and said the Democrats involved — who previously served in the military or in the intelligence community — should be “in jail.”
Kelly, who sits on the Senate’s Armed Services and Intelligence committees, said in the interview that aired on “GMA” on Tuesday that his original message was intended to be “nonpartisan.”
He said he would have expected the president to agree with his statements, describing a potential presidential response, saying, “Of course, you don’t follow illegal orders.”
“But not this guy,” Kelly said, referencing Trump, “because he looks at this as maybe somehow as a threat to his authority.”
Kelly and the other five Democrats involved in the November video directed at military members have defended their message as being in line with the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Constitution.
At one point after the original message was posted, Trump said their action could be “punishable by death.” He also shared a social media post calling for participants in the video to be hanged. But he later said, “I’m not threatening death, but I think they’re in serious trouble.”
“I said something the president and Pete Hegseth did not like and, because of that, the president said I should be hanged, I should be prosecuted,” Kelly said on “GMA” on Tuesday. “This is un-American and this sends a chilling message.”
On Monday, Kelly said he will fight any punishment.
“Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way,” Kelly said in a statement.
Kelly in an interview on “The Daily Show” that aired on Monday evening said he might be able to file an appeal with the military over the changes to his retirement. He also raised the prospect of filing a federal lawsuit, saying he would do “everything appropriate in this circumstance to make sure that they know this is unacceptable.”
