Source: Justin Sullivan / Getty After decades of lawsuits and consumers claiming the talcum powder caused cancer, Johnson & Johnson has decided to discontinue sales of their staple product. According to the New York Times, on Tuesday (May 19) Johnson & Johnson announced that they would discontinue sales of their iconic talc-based powder. While the company is allowing retailers to sell existing bottles until they run out, the company did note that their baby powder made with cornstarch will remain available, and the company will continue to sell the talc-based baby powder in other parts of the world. Johnson & Johnson has often said that faulty testing, shoddy science, and ill-equipped researchers are to blame for findings that its powder was contaminated with asbestos. But...
Ice Cube Says Mr Rogers Sued Him
Ice Cube’s AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted recently turned 30 and in celebration, the rapper/actor had a digital listening party on Instagram Live to commemorate the event. In it, he revealed an interesting nugget: Mr. Rogers sued him over “A Gangsta’s Fairytale,” which sampled the Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood theme song. A date for the suit wasn’t disclosed but, yes, you read correctly. “I actually wrote this for Eazy-E. But y’all know what it is, we weren’t getting down at the time so I had to take it myself,” Cube said. “It’s a trip because off this song, Mr. Rogers sued us. He was mad because we had the Mister Rogers theme at the beginning of this shit. ‘It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood’ and all that. The n***a sued us and was getting like five cents a record until...

Ariana Grande’s 10 Realest Lyrics on Her ‘Dangerous Woman’ Album
Happy anniversary to Ariana Grande‘s Dangerous Woman album, which was released on this day (May 20) in 2016! While Grande certainly sounded in command of her life on previous LPs, the pop star brought a whole new level of realness to her third album. As the stylistically eclectic affair veered between R&B, pop, reggae and dance, Grande gave us some of the most honest and memorable lyrics of her career to date. Some of them (like the lines on “Moonlight”) put you right there in the moment with Ariana and her boo. Others, like the lyrics on “Knew Better/Forever Boy,” show her getting very real about her love life — good, bad, and everything messy in between. In honor of the album’s fourth birthday, we’re looking back at ...
Randy Rainbow Rebukes Trump’s ‘Obamagate’ Conspiracy With ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ Parody: Watch
As COVID-19 continues to ravage the United States, President Donald Trump has made headlines for something completely different — claiming that former President Barack Obama attempted to sabotage the Trump administration (or as he called it on Twitter, “Obamagate“). But internet comedian Randy Rainbow says he can see right through the president’s favorite new conspiracy theory, and decided to point out exactly what he thinks the president is doing. On Tuesday (May 19), Rainbow uploaded a brand new parody song titled “Distraction,” set to the tune of “Tradition” from Fiddler on the Roof, where he calls out Trump’s attempts to change the narrative. “So how does an unprepared reality TV host pretending to be the president deal with su...
Gorillaz’s 2-D and Damon Albarn Perform ‘Aries’ on Kimmel Live
Gorillaz are no strangers to blending their part-human-part-animation music group on the live stage. However, Damon Albarn and 2-D’s recent performance of “Aries” on Jimmy Kimmel Live was an interesting sight to see. Adhering to the same social distancing rules that all collaborative performers have been doing, it’s the first time they’ve dueted in this capacity. While Albarn took lead on the vocals, we do catch a clip of 2-D front and center singing one of the verses. And around the two-minute mark, a guy in a towel with some kind of big mask on starts doing stretches behind 2-D and even acknowledges the camera at the end of his little exercise. Albarn recently did a special performance of his solo project for Boiler Room while the Gorillaz have been dropping new songs from their Song Mac...

The restaurant, like many in the United States, was offering carryout orders only. According to the report, Watson left the ...

He is now explaining why the Pied Piper of Pee Pee was referenced on a new track. The “Southern Hospitality” rapper turned some heads during his Verzuz last week. During the tail end of the stream he played two unreleased tracks from his forthcoming project with Timbaland. Titled “Silence Of The Lambs”, which was debuted first, featured Lil Wayne and some questionable bars from ‘Cris. “I love R. Kelly but around my daughters, I’m not comfortable” he rapped. Naturally that caused many Hip-Hop fans to raise an eyebrow considering the singer’s sordid history. In an interview with Atlanta radio station V103 FM, Big Tigger got him to explain his stance. “...
