This year’s Met Gala, fashion’s biggest night, will be hosted by actors Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Oscar winner Regina King.  According to Vogue, the quartet will serve as the event’s official co-chairs, set to be held on May 2.

Reynolds, Lively, Miranda and King will preside over the annual gathering on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s event benefiting the Costume Institute is titled “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.”  The event’s honorary co-chairs include Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, designer Tom Ford, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

This will actually be the second Met Gala to be held within the last 12 months. The last Met Gala was held in September 2021, to make up for the cancellation of the 2020 Met Gala due to the pandemic. Last year’s list of co-chairs included actor Timothée Chalamet, singer Billie Eilish, tennis star Naomi Osaka and poet Amanda Gorman, who presided over a gala with the theme “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” which honored the 75th anniversary of the Costume Institute.

2 Chainz was the latest guest on Drink Champs podcast, where he revealed that he’s dropping a deluxe version of his latest album, ‘Dope Don’t Sell Itself,’ which will feature 5 additional songs.  As previously announced, he is readying the Collegrove 2 project with Lil Wayne, the sequel to the original from 2016; and Chainz also shared there will be a new collaboration with Justin Bieber. Chainz has previously worked with Bieber on a remix of his hit, “Boyfriend.”

The Atlanta rapper discussed his new music, saying: “What I’m about to do next is put out a deluxe, I got five more songs that’s dropping for ‘Dope Don’t Sell Itself.’ One of them is this hard-a** shit I got with [Justin] Bieber. And then me and Gucci [Mane] got one, but it’s like four or five more songs that I’m adding because my project was only 30 minutes long on purpose.”

Pusha T has teamed up with fast-food sandwich restaurant chain Arby’s, for a diss track aimed at it’s rival, McDonald’s.  Pusha announced the collab on Twitter, saying: “Just dropped a diss track with @Arbys. Grab some popcorn and a Spicy Fish Sandwich. #ArbysSpicyFishDissTrack #ArbysPaidMeButIWouldSayThisAnyway”

On the diss track, Pusha raps: “I’m the reason / The whole world love it / Now I gotta crush it,” referencing his past claims that he wrote McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” song.  In an interview with Rolling Stone, Pusha spoke about writing the jingle for McDonald’s. “I am solely responsible for the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ swag and the jingle of that company. I did it at a very young age at a very young time in my career where I wasn’t asking for as much money and ownership. It’s something that’s always dug at me later in life like, “Damnit, I was a part of this and I should have more stake.” It was like half a million or a million dollars for me and my brother [No Malice of Clipse]—but that’s peanuts for as long as that’s been running. I had to get that energy off me, and this [ad] was the perfect way to get that energy like, “You know what? I’m over it.”

A representative for Kanye ‘Ye’ West said that the rapper has been barred from performing at the Grammy awards next month due to “concerning online behavior.”  The decision came shortly after Ye was suspended from Instagram for 24 hours; the platform said content on Ye’s account was in violation of its policies on “hate speech and bullying and harassment”.

The Grammys is to take place April 3 in Los Angeles. West is up for five awards this year; he has previously won 22 Grammys and has been nominated 75 times throughout his career.  Neither West, nor The Recording Academy, have publicly commented on the situation.

Rapper The Game defended West in an Instagram post, saying: “The Grammys have at the last minute decided to pull @kanyewest from performing on the show as if we didn’t know it was coming. Could be because @trevornoah is hosting and there was a conversation held amongst his team & the academy that led to the decision or because Ye’s account was suspended just days ago for reasons unknown especially in a world where all the negativities of the world can be found on the same app with no repercussions or suspensions. We’ll just say it’s all of the above & a continuous disrespect for us & all that we have brought to the table in entertainment, media & sports over the last 100 years especially.”
