21 Savage & Metro Boomin to Unveil Sequel to ‘Savage Mode’ This Week
They’re back. 21 Savage and producer Metro Boomin announced that they are finally dropping the highly anticipated sequel to their 2016 Savage Mode EP on Friday (Oct. 2). The news comes just two weeks after more than 28,000 fans signed a petition for Savage Mode 2‘s release, according to XXL. The announcement also arrived with an epic trailer, narrated by none other than the master of voiceovers, Morgan Freeman. The one-minute, Gibson Hazard-directed clip finds the musical duo in the studio on a dark, snowy night. “‘Savage’ is defined as fierce, beastly and untamed. ‘Mode’ is defined as a way of operating or using the system,” Freeman explains as two masked figures break into the eerie property, smashing the duo’s platinum...
Guess Which Video Game Now Features a Diplo Avatar?
Diplo, a doer of many things in both waking life and virtual reality, has now done yet another thing with the launch of his avatar within FIFA 21’s Volta Football series. Within the game as a playable character, Diplo is among a cast of “Groundbreaker” players including soccer phenom Kylian Mbappé, Olympic gold medalist in boxing Anthony Joshua, and actor and former professional soccer player Eric Cantona. This isn’t Diplo’s first time on the field with FIFA, as he produced the 2018 World Cup’s official (and very Major Lazer-sounding) anthem “Live It Up” by reggaeton star Nicky Jam with a feature from Will Smith. For the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Dip was one of the models Nike used to show off its uniform for Team U.S.A., with the producer al...

Blake Shelton Let Gwen Stefani Dye His Hair During Quarantine
Blake Shelton didn’t just trust Gwen Stefani to cut his hair during quarantine. He also trusted her enough to dye it once he realized he was going gray. During his appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday (Sept. 28), the country singer explained how he noticed something else about his hair when his girlfriend-turned-hair stylist gave him a quarantine mullet on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in April. “We were on Jimmy’s show and I think I saw a picture back, and I turned my head to the side at some point, and it was just…. There was no more salt and pepper. It’s just salt,” he laughed. “And so I said, ‘Oh my God, when did this happen to me?'” Despite limited physical encounters with other ...

Trump’s TikTok Ban Stopped by Judge
A federal judge is issuing an injunction at the 11th hour. A D.C. federal judge is giving TikTok a temporary reprieve from the U.S. government’s rollout of a ban on the popular video app. A partial injunction order came after an emergency court hearing on Sunday. TikTok owner ByteDance had been facing a Sunday deadline to satisfy the Trump Administration’s national security concerns about data scooped up by the Chinese-owned company. TikTok has argued there’s no sound basis for any alarm that user information would be shared with the Chinese government, but that hasn’t satisfied President Donald Trump, who issued an executive order stopping transactions with TikTok. Since the ban announcement, TikTok has pursued an agreement with Oracle and Walmart that would allow ...
