Beyoncé has agreed to partner with Adidas, joining the wave of artists signing with athletic apparel companies. The deal will enlist the pop star to collaborate on a line of shoes, as well as relaunching her own Ivy Park comfort wear line exclusively with Adidas.
The deal is being described as “multi-layered” and Beyoncé calls it “the partnership of a lifetime for me.” This deal places Beyoncé firmly at the top of the list as one of the most influential artists, and arguably solidifies her spot as the most important female voices in culture.
There isn’t any official word as to when to expect a line of signature shoes or a timetable for when Ivy Park is re-launched. Adidas is set to use her voice and platform to create an outreach to promote equality for women in sports and all other major fields of work.
Landing Beyoncé is enormous for Adidas. Adding her alongside their immensely successful Kanye West collaboration allows the company to go toe to toe with all competitors including, and especially, Nike.

Lil Nas X is making a play to get his viral hit “Old Town Road” back on the country Billboard charts by enlisting the help of country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus. Rolling Stone reported that the pair are working on a remixed version of the country trap hit, in an attempt to legitimize the song as a country record.
The song was removed from the country charts last week, amongst claims that the song did not contain enough country music elements. The controversy sparked some outrage over social media, as fans were adamant that the song was, in fact, a country song.
Billy Ray Cyrus stepped out in support of the Atlanta rapper with an Instagram post, deeming the song credible as a country track. Miley Cyrus sounded off in the comments, displaying her own excitement for the remix. The new song is set to be released sometime later today.

According to CBS Los Angeles, the main suspect in the death of Nipsey Hussle has been captured. The man is 29-year old Eric Holder, who was the primary person of interest after rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot six times on Sunday.
Nipsey was just 33 years old when he was fatally shot, and someone who has received immense praise from both fans and his fellow artists. The tragic event sparked social media to share its collective grief with one another, keeping Nipsey and his family in their thoughts and prayers.

Nipsey had recently been working with the LAPD to help educate and solve ways to stop gang violence. Hussle was also working to give back to the community, especially the under privileged youth, trying to bridge the inner-city closer to Silicon Valley.
Nipsey was a great rapper and a better person, and hopefully justice will be served as a result of this horrible event in history. Prayers up to his family, friends, and fans.

After the tragic, untimely death of rapper Nipsey Hussle, fans gathered outside his LA store last night to pay respects at a vigil in his memory. In a night that should have been a quiet, safe affair, things turned ugly as a stampede of people rushed into the street causing mass chaos.
Veronica Miracle of ABC 7, has a twitter thread that covers the events of the night as they unspooled. She reported that fans started to rush into the street because they thought they had heard a loud bang, assuming they were gunshots, they began to stampede. The LAPD clarified that the reports of gunshots were in fact, false.
Informally initial report by LA Fire identifying 12 treated at scene, one transported. No clear nature of that injury. Many treated on scene for sprained ankles.

Our men and women are on scene and making every effort to protect everyone in attendance at the Nipsey Hussle vigil.
Reports of shots fired at the vigil do not appear to be accurate. We do have injured in the chaos and are attempting to restore order.
As a result of the incident, multiple people were injured, with some being left bloodied in the street. At least one person was struck by a car and resulted in people to lose their shoes and other possessions amongst the bedlam.
It’s incredibly unfortunate that this happened last night, especially after seeing such a positive outpour of support from fans and colleagues of Nipsey. Hopefully something more organized and safe can take place sometime down the road because Nipsey’s legacy deserves to be remembered and it deserves to be remembered with respect.

The Jay-Z sponsored Made In America Festival announced their lineup for this year with Travis Scott and Cardi B headlining. The two day festival is scheduled for August 31 & September 1. Other notable performers for the Philly festival include Juice Wrld, James Blake, Anderson .Paak, Kodak Black, and Blueface.
The annual Labor Day festival is one of the biggest concert events of the year alongside Coachella, and Governors Ball. Headliner, Travis Scott has been on his Astroworld tour since last November and continues to roll through his shows into the summer.
Other headliner, Cardi B ran into some controversy last week, in which an old video resurfaced where she says that she would drug and rob men in order to survive. The comments drew negative criticism from fans on social media, causing the Bronx rapper to issue an apology on social media. Clearly the controversy has not been an issue with her future tour plans and will be there for the festival.
Tickets go on sale exclusively for Tidal users today, and sometime in the future for the general public, so stay tuned for more updates.
