A$AP Rocky and Rihanna team up in the new video for “D.M.B.”, filmed in the streets of New York.  Rocky released the music video for his new track — an acronym for “Dat’s My B*itch” — rapping an ode to Rihanna, the mother of his future son.

In one scene Rocky asks Rihanna to marry him using his teeth, showing close-ups of both artists’ teeth, bedazzled by grills with the words “Marry me?” and “I do.”  And the video ends with a celebration as the couple walks down a corridor for a wedding celebration.

This is Rocky’s first solo music since “Rich N— Problems” from the ‘Judas and the Messiah’ soundtrack last year. Take a look at the video for D.M.B – here.

Dolly Parton is among the list 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, announced on May 4. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unveiled the list which includes Parton, Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, Lionel Richie, Eurythmics, Carly Simon, Judas Priest, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Allen Grubman, Jimmy Iovine, Sylvia Robinson, Elizabeth Cotten, and Harry Belafonte. The 2022 ceremony will be the first time that six female acts will be inducted in one class.

Parton originally turned down her nomination for induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, saying on social media: “Even though I’m extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I don’t feel that I have earned that right. I really do not want votes split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.” However, in a recent interview with NPR, Parton clarified that if voted in, she would gracefully accept.

To be eligible, artists must have at least a 25-year span since their first commercial recording came out. Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame John Sykes said in a press release:  “This diverse group of inductees each had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock & roll. Their music moved generations and influenced so many artists that followed.”

The Class of 2022 will be inducted on Nov. 5 at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater. The event will also air on a later date on HBO and stream on HBO Max.  Ticket information for the 37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be shared in the coming weeks.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that a 23-year-old man armed with a replica handgun that contained a knife blade was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, after attacking comedian Dave Chappelle onstage Tuesday night as he performed at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl arena.

LAPD identified the suspect as Isaiah Lee of Los Angeles, who was being held on $30,000 bail. Chappelle was not injured in the attack, and later joked with fellow comedian and actor Jamie Foxx onstage that he’d taken revenge on his attacker. Comedian Chris Rock was also at the show, and jokingly asked if the attacker was Will Smith (who made headlines for slapping Rock at the Academy Awards this past March).

Videos from audience members’ cellphones quickly flooding social media and showing a man appear to run onto the stage and tackle the comic.  Additional videos posted to Twitter appeared to show the person who charged Chappelle being detained outside the venue by police and then loaded into an ambulance with visible injuries. Witnesses say that the man was set upon by multiple people onstage immediately after he attacked Chappelle.

Director Jon M. Chu announced that the movie adaptation of the Broadway show ‘Wicked” will be split into two films. The first film is scheduled for release December 2024. Wicked premiered on Broadway in 2003.

Chu cited misgivings about attempting to condense the Broadway musical into a single film, saying in part: “As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material. With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.”

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will play Glinda and Elphaba, the witches of Oz. Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel originated those roles on Broadway. Chu said rehearsals will begin prior to filming and he plans to share updates on production and post-production.
