“I’m a gamer. I spend way too much time playing 2K, it’s my favorite game. With this single, I wanted to give my fans a chance to first hear ‘Ballin’ in NBA2K,” A Boogie said in a statement. “To be featured on the soundtrack for this season is big for me. I hope my fans enjoy it and all the gamers out there who play NBA2K everyday [sic] like me also enjoy listening to the song in the game.”

“Ballin” is also featured on A Boogie’s forthcoming album, Me vs. Myself, due out December 9. It’s another tease of the project following previously released singles “Take Shots” featuring Tory Lanez and the Roddy Ricch-assisted “B.R.O. (Better Ride Out).”

Selena Gomez releases new song “My Mind & Me” ahead of her documentary

November 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Ahead of the release of her documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, Gomez has dropped a new song also titled “My Mind & Me.”

The song, which is inspired by Gomez’s personal journals, depicts emotional moments of her life that she has never expressed through her music.

“I think that’s why this song means so much to me, and in a different way than any of my other songs only because I’ve attached this to my mental health and I’m addressing what it is,” Gomez told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “It’s completely cathartic for me and I think it goes so well with the documentary.”

The film, Gomez admitted, is difficult for her to watch. “I’m terrified. To be honest, I have probably tried to back out of this three times,” she said. “But there’s no other way to have told the story.”

As for releasing more music, Gomez was honest about how she is doing mentally and what she has been creating.

“I’ve been having a hard time, honestly,” Gomez said. “I’ve definitely written 12 songs that I do love, but I don’t know if I feel confident with it yet for some reason.”

In the meantime, she hopes that her fans will connect with the documentary and find meaning in it.

“I want there to be a question after everyone sees it. Like a, ‘Hey wait, do I feel that way?’ Or, ‘I know someone who feels that way. I’ve dealt with this. I have these medical issues,’” Gomez said. “That, to me, is my purpose of me even existing.”

Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me will be available to stream Friday on Apple TV+.

Dwyane Wade responds to ex’s claims he’s exploiting trans daughter

November 3, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Dwyane Wade is addressing his ex-wife’s claims that he’s been exploiting their trans daughter for money.

In a lengthy Instagram post Thursday, the former NBA star began, “Since this must be the new way of parenting, I guess I have to address these allegations here, which is a damn shame.”

Wade continued, “I’ve received a social media post about me forcing our 15 year old child to be someone she’s not and to do something against her will. These are serious and harmful allegations that have hurt our children.”

Wade’s ex Siohvaughn Funches-Wade made allegations in a court filing this week that Wade is trying to “profit” off daughter Zaya’s “name and gender change.”

“While none of us are surprised by Siohvaughn’s attempt to fight Zaya’s identity and her unwavering attempt to drag my name through the mud, I’m very disappointed that she continuously find[s] ways of centering herself and HER needs, without regard to her children,” Wade said in his post.

He added that Funches-Wade has shown no interest in understanding their child’s needs, even though she’s been given many opportunities to do so.

“No one in our house would ever force Zaya or any of our children to do anything against their will, much less force an identity on them,” Wade, who’s now married to Gabrielle Union, said. “This isn’t a game for my family and definitely not for Zaya. This is her life.”
