Hip-hop superstar Lizzo is facing another lawsuit from a former tour employee, wardrobe stylist Asha Daniels.

The new lawsuit comes over a month after three dancers filed a lawsuit against Lizzo for alleged sexual, religious and racial harassment.

Daniels, a professional clothing designer, designed the wardrobe for the dancers on Lizzo's 2023 tour.

Daniels alleges that the singer, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, condones a sexualized, racially charged and illegal work environment. The suit alleges that Daniels was sometimes refused breaks during 20-hour shifts, and that she heard racist and fatphobic comments from members of Lizzo's team.

She says Amanda Nomura, a member of Lizzo's team, called Black women on the tour "dumb," "useless," and "fat," according to the lawsuit.

Lizzo spokesman Stefan Friedman called the lawsuit a "bogus, absurd publicity stunt," noting that it came the same day as Lizzo received a Humanitarian Award from the Black Music Action Coalition.

"We will pay this as much attention as it deserves," Friedman said. "None."

Lizzo, a flag bearer of body positivity, was previously sued by three of her former dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who accused the superstar of sexual harassment and the creation of a hostile work environment.

In their lawsuit, one dancer accused Lizzo of calling out her weight gain and firing her for recording a meeting. Other allegations mentioned in the lawsuit included Lizzo falsely accusing dancers of drinking on the job, leading to an "excruciating" audition.

In another particularly egregious allegation, the lawsuit claims that Lizzo pushed the dancers to attend a sex show in Amsterdam's famed Red Light District and then pressured them to engage with the performers.

"Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas," the lawsuit claims. "Lizzo then turned her attention to Ms. Davis and began pressuring Ms. Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women performing at the club."

Ed Sheeran recently took to social media to reveal that he recorded a live version of his upcoming album Autumn Variations in fans' homes.

Sheeran confirmed that each song from the new record was performed and recorded "in a different fan's living room," but all of them came as a "total surprise."

The footage, shared by the singer-songwriter on Instagram shows him performing one of his older tracks in a fan's home. Sheeran is seen sitting by a piano and rendering "Wake Me Up," a song from his 2011 album +.

"We got to @kariconaway's house at the end of the day, and I instantly knew it was gonna be a fun one," Sheeran captioned his post. "They had cats, friendship bracelets and some fruit drinks to start, but once I'd played the Autumn song I said take me on a tour, and when I went into her room I saw a piano.

"She asked if I could play and I said 'not really but I kinda play on wake me up'," he added. "So here I am playing 'Wake Me Up,' for all the Plus fans out there."

The singer also confirmed that "The Fan Living Room live 'Autumn Variation's album [is] coming soon."

Sheeran teased these surprise visits to fans' homes earlier this month onTikTok. "Surprise pop-ups in fans' houses to record something special, coming soon," he said at the time. "Ps your cats were cool."

The new album, which is produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, is reportedly inspired by a 19th Century orchestral work from composer Edward Elgar, titled Enigma Variations.

The forthcoming album, which is due out on September 29th, will mark Sheeran's second release of 2023.

Kenneth Petty, the husband of superstar rapper Nicki Minaj, has been sentenced to 120 days of house arrest for threatening rapper Offset.

The sentence comes after Petty violated the terms of his probation by posting threatening video clips on social media, specifically targeting the Migos rapper.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, in a court order filed last Wednesday in the Central District of California, Petty was ordered to undertake home monitoring after he "was recorded on video making threatening remarks to a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record."

In the clip, Petty and a group of friends were outside a New York City hotel where Offset was allegedly staying. "Plan that vacation, you gonna be planning your funeral p***," Petty says in the video among other threats.

In July 2022, Petty was sentenced in Los Angeles to probation and home detention for failing to register as a sex offender. He was also ordered to pay a $55,000 fine as part of his sentence, which includes three years' probation and a year in home detention, based on filing from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

In 1995, Petty was convicted for the first-degree attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl and spent four years in prison in New York.

Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden said in a recent "In Good Company" podcast that he doesn't think Kanye West "meant what he said" when the rapper spewed anti-semitic comments last year.

Gulden complimented West, calling him "one of the most creative people in the world." He added that the fact that Ye made the statements, which resulted in Adidas breaking the contract with him, "wasn't that good."

"Very unfortunate, because I don't think he meant what he said, and I don't think he's a bad person. It just came across that way," Gulden said. "That meant we lost that business, one of the most successful collabs in the history . very sad."

However, he added that it's part of the game when working with third parties. "That can happen with an athlete, it can happen with an entertainer. It's part of the business."

Adidas took a huge financial hit after the dissolution of the Yeezy line of shoes. The company said it expected to lose $1.3 billion in revenue this year because it was unable to sell the designer's Yeezy clothing and shoes.

Boygenius recently shared an animated video for "Cool About It," a song from their debut album, The Record.

"'Cool About It'" is a beautifully melancholic and piercing song that puts words to feelings often unexplained," said the video's director Lauren Tsai. "It is an absolute dream to collaborate with the genius that is Boygenius."

"I made animated videos on YouTube when I was 11 and I cannot imagine something I'd lose my mind over more if I could go back in time and tell myself," she added. "I will always be grateful to the band for the many ways in which their work has affected my life."

"Cool About It" follows the previously shared video for "Not Strong Enough," another song from their debut album.

Migos rapper Quavo spoke about combating the issue of gun violence during the Congressional Black Caucus legislative conference in Washington last Wednesday (September 20).

The rapper, who had previously met some big and powerful politicians including Vice President Kamala Harris to voice his concerns about gun violence, said during his speech at the conference that his nephew Takeoff's death convinced him to speak up about the issue.

"I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times," said Quavo. "You don't think nothing is going to happen," he continued. "I need to step up to the plate and hit a homerun. I have to do something about it, so it won't happen to the masses - especially in our culture. I don't want this to happen to the next person. I want to knock down these percentages."

"We need to do better with the control of guns," Quavo added. "We need to figure out how do we keep these types of incidents from happening to people going anywhere and thinking they can hurt somebody where it shouldn't happen."

Others present in the discussion panel last week were Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, Rep. Lucy McBath, and Greg Jackson of the Community Justice Action Fund.

Quavo arrived at the conference along with his mother Edna Marshall and sister Titania Davenport, the mother of Takeoff, who was fatally shot outside a Houston bowling alley last year.

The rapper attended the conference as a representative of his Rocket Foundation, created in memory of Takeoff.

SZA's manager Terence "Punch" Henderson said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the singer skipped last week's MTV Video Music Awards as she was hurt by MTV's decision not to nominate her in the Artist of the Year category.

Anderson said it was "disrespectful" not to nominate SZA for the award despite the musician having one of the strongest years of her career to date.

"Obviously, she had one of the best years, if not the best year, of any artist at this point. I don't see why she wouldn't be nominated for artist of the year," Anderson told The Hollywood Reporter. "It just really didn't make any sense to me. It's disrespectful."

Henderson said he did not get a proper reply from MTV about the lack of nomination for SZA in the Artist of the Year category during a call.

"They couldn't give a clear answer as to why she wasn't [nominated]," he said. "It was just, 'Well, she's nominated for all these other [awards].'"

"When we tried to set up the second call, they didn't want to discuss artist of the year, which to me was really a slap in the face. You can't discredit what 'SOS' has done and is currently doing," he added.

SZA's manager revealed they pulled her VMAs performance after the snub, saying, "I figured, why go perform and do this if she's not going to be respected to the highest level?"

"So, it was my call to actually pull out of the performance," he explained. "I felt it was disrespectful and I was very stern on that and influencing that. If there's any issues or backlash and all of that, I'm taking all of that."

Justin Bieber recently took to Instagram Stories to share a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of his part in SZA collab "Snooze."

Bieber posted the clip soon after SZA released the stripped-back version of the S.O.S. hit.

Bieber's clips show him running through different vocal takes and moving the microphone in what looks like a stunning home studio.

"Okey dokey artichoke-y," Bieber is seen saying in the first clip as he gets his microphone set up.

The second clip shows Bieber belting out a part of the chorus, singing, "I can't lose," although he seemed slightly frustrated at not hitting the desired note. He remarked, "F---," before attempting the chorus once more, eventually nodding in approval, saying, "That 'I can't' was good, I guess."

In another clip, he sang the lyric, "Home when you're not here," another part of the chorus and contributed some impressive runs and background vocals to enhance the duet.

"Snooze" earned SZA her second No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, topping the list dated July 1. The song also gave SZA her second career No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay tally.

Avril Lavigne have teamed up with All Time Low for a new song, "Fake As Hell."

Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner has been removed from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Board of Directors over controversial comments he made in an interview last week.

In the interview published by the New York Times last Friday, Wenner said, "In so far as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level" of the white male musicians featured in his new book of interviews, "The Masters."

"Jann Wenner has been removed from the Board of Directors of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation," the foundation said in a one-line statement last Saturday.

Later in the day, Wenner issued an apology through his publisher Little, Brown and Company. It reads, "In my interview with The New York Times I made comments that diminished the contributions, genius and impact of Black and women artists and I apologize wholeheartedly for those remarks."

"I totally understand the inflammatory nature of badly chosen words and deeply apologize and accept the consequences," he adds.

Rolling Stone responded to Wenner's comments in a statement posted on X, saying, "Jann Wenner's recent statements to the New York Times do not represent the values and practices of today's Rolling Stone."

Dunkin' recently debuted a new commercial starring Ice Spice and Ben Affleck.

The new Dunkin' Ice Spice Munchkins Drink ad premiered Tuesday during the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.

The commercial - concepted and brought to life by Affleck and the advertising division of production company Artists Equity - delivers an amusing take on the two powerhouses brainstorming the next big thing for Dunkin' in his office.

Ice Spice's massive fanbase served as the muse, leading to the introduction of the Ice Spice Munchkins Drink. Artists Equity served as the brand's agency, production, and post-production company for the commercial.

This campaign also marks the first work for Artists Equity and Dunkin' since formalizing their partnership following the success of their Super Bowl work.

"I've always been a Dunkin' girl!" said Ice Spice. "Collaborating with Dunkin' and Ben Affleck on this spot was a dream. The drink has a fun twist, a little something in the name for my fans, too. I can't wait for everyone to try it."

For the first time, Dunkin' has artfully combined two of its cherished delights into an irresistible seasonal drink. The drink blends its smooth, creamy Frozen Coffee with Pumpkin Munchkins Donut Hole Treats, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.

The Ice Spice Munchkins Drink is now available nationwide at Dunkin' restaurants.
