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.

J Roc appears to be trying to move on and promises to look out for Hussle’s girlfriend, Lauren London, and his two children.

Things are looking up for Dababy, after beating his fatal shooting in Wal-Mart case last week he drops another video for a track off his album. Dababy and Offset give 90’s sitcom vibes in the music video for ” BabySitter” flashing his rich lifestyle in Beverly Hill. You can check out the video down below.
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.
LAPD chief Michel Moore: "I saw the name Nipsey Hussle, and I looked at that again, and I looked at it again, and it was like I could not believe it… This is a voice that was trying to help." pic.twitter.com/qj6AUPFf8g
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.
Mac DeMarco released a new single from his upcoming record “Here Comes The Cowboy.” The new song is titled “All Of Our Yesterdays,” and is the second track off the album that is due out on May 10.
In a statement released by DeMarco himself, he explains that this was the first song he wrote for this new project. The Canuck cites the band Oasis as an inspiration behind the track and wanted to emulate a sound similar to theirs.
His full statement about the song is posted below:
Hi everybody, Mac here.
Here’s my new song, it’s called “All of Our Yesterdays.” This was the first song I wrote in the sequence of songs that appear on my new record. Most of the rest of the songs were written in November right before we went on tour in Europe, but this one’s probably from about seven or eight months before that. I left it sitting with only one verse done for a long time, then finished it up while I was writing the rest of the record. The phrase “all of our yesterdays” comes from the play Macbeth. Also I think there’s a “Star Trek” episode from 1969 with the same title; very cool. I had just seen a documentary about Oasisbefore writing this song, and I was trying to write a gigantic rock and roll hit with my renewed love for the band. I didn’t really get close to that at all, but I’m happy with the song that came out hahahahaha.
I hope you enjoy, have a nice day.
See ya later.
