Method Man is atoning for his past behavior. 

While appearing on Sunday’s episode of My Expert Opinion with Math Hoffa, the rapper recalled a moment in his life when he had “low self-esteem,” which resulted in him acting poorly toward multiple people, including Destiny’s Child members Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

Remembering a 2001 MTV event to celebrate Janet Jackson‘s legendary career, the Wu-Tang Clan member said he approached the trio to say hi and “they didn’t even turn around and acknowledge me.” However, it was all a simple misunderstanding. 

“Now, my a**, in my head, with my low self-esteem is like, “They just s****** on me.’ When in fact, they didn’t even hear me…It was so loud…That’s the excuse that I’m giving right now — they didn’t even f****** hear me,” he shared.

Method Man went on to explain, “Afterward, Rockwilder…comes over, he’s talking to them, he’s like, ‘Oh, you know Red and Meth?’ And [Destiny’s Child] put their hands out to shake, and I kept my hand here and was like, ‘Go ’head with that Hollywood s***.'”

Reflecting on the moment, Meth clarified that “neither Kelly, Beyoncé, or Michelle ever did any-f****-thing to me” and blamed his actions on him “being so miserable.”

“And to this day, man, I don’t think I’ve ever apologized for that,” he said before adding, “I apologize to Beyoncé, I apologize to Kelly Rowland and Michelle — y’all did not deserve that, at all.”

Kane Brown and his 2-year-old daughter, Kingsley, are best friends forever, and the singer’s got proof. On social media, he shared an adorable video of a game he and his daughter play that, it seems, they made up themselves.

The rules are simple: Kingsley sits by the sink, while Kane inspects the faucet. As soon as he gets too close, Kingsley turns the water on, prompting Kane to jump back in faux shock.

Each time her country star dad flew back from the sink, Kingsley burst into giggles, and the results made for one adorable daddy-daughter moment.

“You turned it off, too?! That’s crazy,” Kane says at one point in the clip, over his daughter’s peals of laughter. Towards the end of the clip, Kane gets his face all the way under the tap before Kingsley turns the water on — and of course, he winds up sopping wet.

“My best friend,” the country star writes in the caption.

It should come as no surprise to fans that Kane’s a big family man. He frequently posts sweet photos and videos of himself hanging out with his wife, Katelyn, and their two daughters: Kingsley and her younger sister, 6-month-old Kodi.

A man who allegedly stalked Taylor Swift “across multiple states,” including New York, was arrested and charged with stalking and criminal trespass over the weekend, the New York Post reports.

Police said 35-year-old Joshua Christian went to Taylor’s New York City home in March and on June 12. According to the assistant district attorney, Christian allegedly spoke into the intercom at the property and said, “You’re holding her prisoner and I need to set her free.”

In March, Christian allegedly got into Swift’s New York City home through an unlocked door and stayed there until security confronted him.  At Christian’s arraignment in Manhattan criminal court, a prosecutor said that Christian had traveled to Taylor’s house in Tennessee as well.  The police are also investigating an additional incident of alleged stalking.

A judge issued a full order of protection for Christian to stay away from Taylor. He set bail at $1, but also sent Christian to jail without bail for fleeing a reckless driving charge in Florida.  He has a July 28 court date in that case.

The New York Post reports that during Christian’s court appearance, he yelled that he was a Christian scientist, said he didn’t want his Legal Aid lawyer to represent him, and called the proceedings “the worst miscarriage of justice since the crucifixion of Christ Jesus.”

Christian’s lawyer has requested that Christian undergo a psychiatric and mental evaluation.

Harry Styles was set to perform in Denmark Sunday as part of his Love on Tour gig, but canceled after there was a mass shooting at a nearby mall. 

“I’m heartbroken along with the people of Copenhagen,” Harry tweeted Sunday night. “I adore this city. The people are so warm and full of love.”

“I’m devastated for the victims, their families, and everyone hurting,” he continued. “I’m sorry we couldn’t be together. Please look after each other. H.”

Hours before Harry was supposed to take the stage at Denmark’s Royal Arena, a mass shooting occurred at a Copenhagen mall that left three dead and many others injured, according to ABC News. The arena was subsequently shut down by order of police, which led to the cancellation of the former One Direction member’s concert. 

On Snapchat, Styles wrote: “My team and I pray for everyone involved in the Copenhagen shopping mall shooting. I am shocked. Love H.”

A 22-year-old Danish man was arrested after the shooting, police told reporters, adding there was no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack, though police are still investigating.

It’s summer, and lots of families are heading to the pool, lake or beach. But amid all the festivities, it’s also important to keep safety first: According to the CDC, aside from birth defects, drowning is the leading cause of death in children under age four.

For Granger Smith and his wife, Amber, that statistic is personal. Their three-year-old son, River, died in a drowning accident at home in June of 2019.

Amber remembers telling her two other children, Lincoln and London — who were five and seven at the time — the devastating news.

“We went home with that intention of being very honest…” she recounts to People. “We said, ‘River was without oxygen for too long. They did everything they could but Bubbie died…And then we let them process their emotions and told them whatever they’re feeling…it’s OK.”

In 2021, Granger and Amber welcomed baby boy Maverick, and the couple put their infant son in ISR (infant swim rescue) lessons in order to help him learn how to stay afloat if he should ever fall into the water.

“He can barely crawl, but now he knows how to hold his breath, twist his body , find the air, float on his back and cry,” she wrote on socials, posting a video of his 10th lesson. “…He has the skills to float until help comes.”

Amber has also been a staunch advocate for water safety awareness for all families. “Thinking that adult supervision is enough is a DEADLY miscalculation,” she says. “Hear me. I used to think that too.”

Lainey Wilson tells a story of resilience in her new single, “Heart Like a Truck,” with lyrics that reflect on the tough times that help shape a person into who they’re supposed to be.

“‘Heart Like a Truck’ is a song about finding freedom and strength, and not being scared of the scars and the dents and the bumps along the way,” she says. “At the end of the day, that’s what builds character.”

Lainey knows firsthand how hard times help build strength. When she first moved to Nashville, she spent three years living in a camper and struggling to make ends meet as she chased her dream. Of course, those lean times paid off: Lainey is now a bona fide country star, with two #1 country singles to her name.

But she tells a different side of that story in the music video for her song. Instead of being centered around a country music hopeful in Nashville, the clip takes Lainey to a ranch, where she plays the role of a young woman struggling to find her way as a horse handler.

“It’s telling a story about a ranch girl who’s got a lot to prove to herself and everybody else,” the singer details. “And in the end, she does it. It’s a song about triumph. It’s a video about triumph.”

Leah Kate’s the latest artist to see her viral TikTok song turn into a bona fide radio hit. After she posted a snippet of her song “10 Things I Hate About You” on the app, it went viral, then blew up on digital service providers and is now on radio stations nationwide. And that’s something that Leah says she just can’t get her head around.

“I don’t believe it. I’m just like, ‘What?'” she laughs. “In my head, I’m so, like, ‘Please listen to my music. I’ll do anything … stream my song!’ … so it hasn’t connected in my brain. Like, reality hasn’t caught up with what the truth is, in my head. So every time I hear it on the radio, I’m like, ‘Oh, how is this possible?'”

And no, despite the song’s title, it was not inspired by the 1999 rom-com starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. “I love the movie, but it actually had nothing to do with the creation of the song,” Leah tells ABC Audio.

She explains, “I was not over this guy and I was like, ‘I need to get over him.’ [But] I could only really remember the good parts of our relationship, [so] I was like, ‘OK, Leah, time to remember the bad parts,’ because there are way more bad parts than good!”

Leah adds, “I started writing this list of everything I hated about him, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is kind of a fun song idea.’… It started out as, like, 100 things, and then I narrowed it down to 10 things.”

You’ll hear Leah performing that song and more as she kicks off a tour with Australian band Chase Atlantic on Wednesday.

“You can expect, like, so much new music in the set,” she promises, teasing “crazy things and visuals.” “It’s going to be really fun. I’m so excited!”

Being a band that can cover The Four Seasons, Iggy Pop and Britney Spears in the same set, Måneskin is clearly inspired by many different types of music. As frontman Damiano David tells ABC Audio, each of the band members has their own specific influences that they bring to the Måneskin sound.

“[Guitarist] Thomas [Raggi] is very into ’70s and ’80s rock ‘n’ roll, so the more classic, milestone bands,” David explains. “And I’m more into the [2000s], Strokes and Arctic [Monkeys] and stuff like that.”

Meanwhile, bassist Victoria De Angelis‘ tastes range from U.K. punk to techno, while drummer Ethan Torchio is the “mad dog in this conversation.”

“Ethan is f***ing crazy and listens to instrumental songs … classical music,” David laughs.

Those influences are not limited to Måneskin’s wide array of covers, but apply to the group’s original material, as well.

“Every time you hear our songs, you can hear many different things, and all of that will be correct,” David says. “Maybe there’s more of my influence in a song, and in another there’s more of Thomas’ influence.”

“I think that that’s the cool thing about us,” he adds. “We kind of always manage to mix all our different tastes together.”
