Missouri Governor Allows Concerts to Resume Today
Starting today, May 4th, the Governor of Missouri, Mike Parson, is allowing his state to host concerts and other large-scale events. Introduced in the state’s “Show Me Strong” recovery plan, Missouri will become the first in the U.S. to permit in-person live music events since the start of the global health crisis. In a quote obtained by Billboard, a section of the new plan details the now-permitted events. “There are currently no limitations on social gatherings as long as necessary precautions are taken and six feet of distance can be maintained between individuals and/or families,” said Parson. Venues in large cities like St. Louis will not be opening their doors, as leaders on the local level have decided to uphold stay-in-place measures. I...

The Bronx rapper was up to his trolling ways, saying he could beat any rapper in a head to head battle of hits, besides a couple of exceptions. The background here is that the “Unforgettable” rapper was recently thoroughly clowned for his claims that he has more hits than that Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar. So it comes as no surprise that during a recent interview with DJ E Rock on 92.3’s The Bassment, French continued with the “How much coke are you sniffing?” type claims. This time, French said he could compete with anybody—except for Drake and Jay-Z. Well, it’s good to know there are limits to his hyperbole. And he did drop a jewel when he said, “I just want all the underdogs out there, and...
