After declaring himself “a Knick” earlier this week, A$AP Rocky believes he was a good-luck charm of sorts while cheering on the Knicks to a historic comeback from the Madison Square Garden stands.

The New York Knicks erased a 29-point deficit — the largest in NBA Finals history — on Wednesday night (June 10) to snatch a 107-106 victory in game four of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs at MSG.

Rocky was hyped as he celebrated on the court following the epic comeback win. “We was down by like 20. It’s because of me, I’m the good luck charm,” he claimed in a brief postgame interview. “I was up there cheering from the box, going crazy. Thank me later!”

Rocky wasn’t kidding either, as footage emerged of the Harlem rapper turning up and bringing the energy in the ESPN New York suite while rapping along to DMX’s “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem.”

Game four was a star-studded affair as celebrities filled MSG, which saw appearances from Taylor Swift, Nas, Fat Joe, Tate McRae, Hailey Bieber, Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Ben Stiller, Larry David, Adam Sandler and many more.

The Wu-Tang Clan brought the ruckus to MSG, as the legendary rap group hailing from Staten Island helmed game four’s halftime show, which saw the crew perform “Bring da Ruckus,” “Method Man” and “C.R.E.A.M.”

Rocky kept the good vibes going after the game, where he joined Rihanna for a night out on the town in the Big Apple.

The Knicks will look to clinch the franchise’s first championship since 1973 with a win in game five on Saturday night (June 13) when the series switches back to San Antonio.

Rick Ross is back outside this summer. Rozay announced on Thursday (June 11) that his Set in Stone album will be released on July 17 via Gamma.

The MMG boss set the album’s rollout in motion with the French Montana and Max B-assisted “Minks in Miami,” and Ross has another single in the chamber as “Mahogany Caskets” featuring T.I. will be released on Friday (June 12).

T.I. and Rozay have teamed up in the past on tracks such as “Pledge Allegiance,” which landed on Tip’s 2010 album No Mercy. They’ve also rapped alongside one another on hits such as DJ Khaled’s star-studded “We Takin’ Over,” which actor Timothée Chalamet recently championed as the “No. 1 video of all-time,” in his opinion.

Set in Stone marks the Biggest Boss’ first album in five years, and serves as the follow-up to 2021’s Richer Than I Ever Been, which debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard 200.

The Miami-bred rapper is currently on the road for his Port of Miami 20th Anniversary Black-Tie Experience Orchestra Tour. The North American trek continues on Friday (June 12) in Atlanta.

“Port of Miami was the foundation of an empire, the blueprint to the biggest boss,” Rozay said in a statement when announcing the tour. “Twenty years later, we aren’t just celebrating an album — we are elevating the culture. Bringing this music to the stage with a full orchestra and choir in a black-tie setting is about cementing the legacy. It’s luxury, it’s historic, and it’s a milestone we are going to celebrate at the absolute highest level.”

Port of Miami was released in August 2006, and Rozay’s debut album launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 187,000 album units earned in the first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan (now Luminate) at the time.

In case you missed it Wednesday night (June 10), spoiler alert: the New York Knicks pulled off the greatest comeback in NBA, nay, sports history, during game four of the NBA finals. And Taylor Swift, literally, had a front-row seat for all the action alongside her pals Este and Alana Haim of the band Haim.

The trio were seated next to the TV star whose famous character was the inspiration for the name of Swift’s beloved cat Olivia Benson, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay. The actress was sporting the same punny custom Knicks T-shirt as Taylor, which read “Stevie Knicks.”

In a TikTok showing off their custom jerseys post early Thursday morning (June 11), Swift, Alana and Este lip-sync to Brooklyn native Cyndi Lauper’s signature 1983 Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 classic “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” with the trio laughing and hamming it up as they show off the instant classic blue and orange T-shirts touting their Knicks pride.

As the Knicks fell into a massive early hole — down by 29 points against the surging San Antonio Spurs at one point before making a last-second shot to go up 3-1 in the series — the camera kept cutting to the trio to take in their enthusiasm. Viewers at home saw all four women jumping, shouting, dancing and losing their minds as the Knicks dug themselves out, all while wearing hilarious shirts that read: “Stevie Knicks” (for Swift and Hargitay), “Knickleback” (for Alana) and “Knickole Kidman” (for Este).

The shirts were definitely the stars of the 12-second TikTok, where Alana takes center stage as Swift and Este shimmy alongside her in a video titled “Girls just wanna have PUN.”

It was a fun night out for Swift, who was flying solo as fiancé Travis Kelce was back in Kansas City for the Chiefs mandatory pre-season minicamp. But the singer — who last month attended an NBA Eastern Conference Finals game between the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers with lifelong Cleveland fan Kelce — had plenty of A-list company at the thrilling game, which was also attended by Knicks superfans director Spike Lee, actors Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet (who was matchy-matchy in blue and orange with girlfriend Kylie Jenner) and rapper Fat Joe.

Also in the house according to USA Today were: Adam Sandler, Larry David, Chris Rock, Action Bronson, the Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean, Amy Schumer, Billy Crystal, Finneas, Hailey Bieber, Jadakiss, Jeremy Strong, Jimmy Fallon, Keke Palmer, Kevin Jonas, Kit Harrington, Liam Neeson, Marcus Mumford, Mark Ronson, Michael Che, Michael J. Fox, Nas, Penn Badgley, Questlove, Riann Wilson, Robert Randolph, Samantha Ronson, Scooter Braun, Sombr, Sydney Sweeney, Tate McRae, Tracy Morgan and the Wu-Tang Clan, who performed a hyped halftime set.

Game five of the series will take place in San Antonio on Saturday (June 13).

Olivia Rodrigo‘s young pop career has been nothing short of astonishing. Hits everywhere, no foot has been put wrong. Consider, her breakthrough single, “Drivers License,” logged eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s one of her five leaders on the national singles chart, those hits spread across three album eras.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the California phenom has smashed records. Her 2021 release SOUR set a new mark for the most first-week streams for a debut album. In the same month, she became, at age 18 years and three month, the youngest solo artist in history to snag the chart double as “Good 4 U” both dominated.

Then, in June 2021, Rdrigo became the first female solo artist to claim three simultaneous U.K. top 5 singles (“Good 4 U,” “Deja Vu” and “Traitor.” Her sophomore album Guts got all the glory, too. No. 1 on charts, hit singles.

On Friday, June 12, Rodrigo enters a new phase with the release of you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love (via Geffen/Interscope).

Following her surprise set at Primavera Sound 2026 in Barcelona, Rodrigo stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday (June 10) for the national TV debut performance of “The Cure,” lifted from that new collection. “The Cure” is already a Billboard No. 1; the track reigns over Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts, debuting atop the June 6-dated surveys. Also, “The Cure” opened at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, becoming Rodrigo’s sixth top five and eighth top 10, totals that include four No. 1s.

For her spot on ABC’s Kimmel, Rodrigo looked glamorous in all-white, performing on a set tangled with red ribbons. Soon, we’ll find out if she’s gone a perfect three-from-three with you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. Don’t bet against it.

Watch Rodrigo’s late night performance below.

The 1980s was no throwaway era in cinema. The horror genre was at its more terrifying high point, as audiences got their frights from werewolves, zombies, aliens and any creep or creature that could ruin your day. At the action end of town, muscles were king. The Brat Pack was in its full swing. And all the big Hollywood hits, it seemed, were soundtracked by Kenny Loggins.

The American singer and songwriter was ’80s cinema’s go-to guy, nailing the theme songs to Footloose, Top Gun, Caddy Shack, and more.

On Wednesday night, June 10, Loggins stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to re-live some of those golden numbers from the Silver Screen, with a difference. Loggins, Fallon and the late-night show’s house band the Roots performed a medley on classroom instruments, with a little help from from Kevin Bacon and John Lithgow, who got their Footloose on.

At one point, Lithgow interrupted the fun and stayed in his party-pooper character Rev. Shaw Moore from Footloose. “Everybody listen to me. I object to this kind of music. It’s illegal in this building,” he barks in the clip. Enter Bacon. “Jump back,” he roars, channeling his Footloose lead, Ren. “Hey, I thought this was supposed to be a party. Let’s dance!”

Across his career, Loggins has landed 21 titles on the Billboard Hot 100, including a No. 1 for “Footloose,” one of his five top 10s. He also nabbed a No. 2 for “Danger Zone.” Both songs got the late-night treatment with classroom instruments.  

In 2022, he recorded an updated version of his classic Top Gun adrenalin-pumping anthem “Danger Zone” for the second film in the Top Gun franchise, Maverick. The following year, in 2023, Loggins released his memoir Still Alright.

Expect Loggins to dispense with the classroom instruments and go with something more conventional when he performs at the Celebrate 250 festival, set for Jul. 3 – 4, 2026 in St Louis, MO.

BIGBANG will make, well, a big bang when the K-pop act embarks on a 31-date stadium tour later this year, a worldwide celebration of the group’s 20^th anniversary.

The trek will get underway Friday, Aug. 21 for the first of three shows at Goyang Stadium. Next up, a handful of dates in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, followed by a deep run through Asia and Australia, wrapping up Sunday, Feb. 28 with the second of two nights at Kaohsiung National Stadium.

Announced Thursday, June 11, G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG will reunite for the tour, BIGBANG’s first since 2017, and it comes on the heels of the pop veterans’ return to the stage at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Fans will have to wait for the official tour title and ticketing information, which reps say will be announced at a later date. “The landmark tour represents one of the most significant live music events of 2026 for global fans and a historic new chapter for one of the most influential groups in modern music,” reads a statement issued by promoter AEG Presents.

Launched by YG Entertainment, BIGBANG erupted in August 2006 and broke new ground for the Korean-pop scene by winning the inaugural best worldwide act trophy onstage at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. The following year, they became the first K-pop group to send an album to the Billboard 200 chart, when 2012’s ALIVE reached No. 150, and flexed their live muscles with two world tours (hitting multiple U.S. arenas in 2012 and 2015).

To date, BIGBANG have five No. 1s on Billboard‘s U.S.-based World Digital Song Sales chart, and even scored their first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Global 200 with the special 2022 reunion single “Still Life” that marked T.O.P’s final release with the group.

V.I.P.s — BIGBANG’s fandom — can sign up for the forthcoming tour via BIGBANG’s official b.stage platform for updates.

UPDATE: Wu-Tang Clan sparked the Knicks for a second-half comeback that is etched in the history books, as the home team overturned the biggest deficit in NBA playoffs history. Down at one stage by 29 points, the Knicks recorded a 107-106 win against the traveling Spurs are now one win away from the championship.

Cometh the hour, cometh the Wu-Tang Clan.

The hip-hop heroes stepped onto the hardwood of Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night (June 11) for a much-needed special delivery during game 4 of the NBA Finals.

RZA and Co. unleashed a medley of “Bring da Ruckus,” “Method Man” and “C.R.E.A.M.,” a rare moment to savor for the New York faithful who were watching on, crushed, and processing the New York Knicks’ first-half capitulation to the visiting San Antonio Spurs.

New York desperately needed a hip-hop miracle, a Wu-Tang lucky charm. The Knicks franchise, hunting its first NBA title in 53 years, fell behind 76-49 at the break. That scoreline, isn’t just bruising. It’s historic. No visiting team in NBA history has led by so many points at the half of a Finals game. And no other Finals team has hit as many first-half 3s as the Spurs (14).

The rap heavyweights are so invested in the Knicks’ run to the title, they’ve swapped out their social media profile with a “Wu York Knicks” logo. If they were feeling deflated at the break, they weren’t showing it. See below.

Earlier, Wu-Tang Clan’s official Instagram appeared to confirm that the group would be performing at the Garden. “Bring Da Hive Knicks in 5,” the Wu captioned a post on its Instagram Story.

And separately, on the new episode of “Wu Wednesdays,” RZA’s SiriusXM show on LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells Radio (Ch. 43), the rapper gave a hint of hip-hop action to come. “Those making it out to (MSG) tonight might be in for something special,” RZA teases at the top of the show. “Let’s see what goes on in the building tonight.”

Page Six first reported that the Wu would be heading to MSG as halftime’s entertainment with the NBA Finals returning to the Big Apple for the first time since 1999, which also saw the New York Knicks battling the San Antonio Spurs back then.

Regardless of the result, Wu-Tang Clan has a lot to look forward to. The act will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this December, alongside Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade and Luther Vandross. The group has been eligible for induction since 2018. RZA has called the honor “one of those pillars in life,” noting that his first house he ever bought was in Cleveland and he’s driven by and visited the Rock Hall “hundreds of times” in the years since.

For those keeping score, the Knicks went into game 4 with a 2-1 series lead. The Wu is currently on a break from the crew’s Wu-Tang: The Final Chamber tour. The farewell trek will resume with a North American leg kicking off in August. The crew will be making stops in Atlantic City, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Toronto, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas before hosting a final show on Oct. 4 in Phoenix. The legendary rap group was also inducted into Billboard‘s Hip-Hop Hall of Fame in 2025.

From a Hollywood film premiere straight to Game 4 of the NBA Finals in New York City the next night, Taylor Swift is on a coast-to-coast adventure.

Swift was spotted courtside with two of the three Haim sisters — Alana and Este — at Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden to cheer on the Knicks, who lead the series 2-1 heading into Game 4. How do we know that the trio is rooting for the Knicks? Based on their hilarious homemade shirts.

Each of the shirts is a Knicks-based pun on a celebrity name, with Swift’s shirt reading “Stevie Knicks,” Alana Haim’s shirt saying “Knickleback,” and Este’s shirt reading “Knickole Kidman.”

Swift previously attended an NBA Eastern Conference Finals game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers last month with her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce, who is a lifelong Cleveland fan. But Swift has historically cheered for the New York squad after her time living in NYC.

The pop superstar is in town to attend the 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction & Awards ceremony on Thursday night, when Swift will be inducted into the hall after previously winning the Hal David Spotlight Award in 2010.

On Tuesday night, she was in Los Angeles to attend the Toy Story 5 world premiere and surprise-perform “I Knew It, I Knew You,” her song for the Disney Pixar film. She also joined forces with Toy Story music maestro Randy Newman to duet on “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”

The Wu-Tang Clan is set to perform at halftime of Game 4, following a halftime set from Cardi B during Monday’s Game 3 at Madison Square Garden.

CeeLo knows who he wants to go up against in a VERZUZ battle, and his pick makes sense when you truly consider it.

He recently sat down with Rickey Smiley and was asked who he would go against if he ever participated in the popular music matchup series. “I would probably had to go up against Lauryn Hill,” he answered while acknowledging their mutual respect and ability to both sing and rap. “But she’s like my sister, and we were all together at the Kanye show, too. So, shouts out to the queen Ms. Hill.”

He added: “But it would just be nothing but a love affair because we did our first tours together. We’ve been friends for years, and she’s a Gemini twin just like me. So that’s my twin sister — but she does rap and sing at the same time, you know? I think I would have to be paired up with somebody who has somewhat of the same dynamic.”

Prior to his answer about a solo VERZUZ, he suggested that his Dungeon Family collective featuring the likes of Organized Noize, OutKast, Goodie Mob, Future and others would likely have to go up against another large collective like the crew out of Staten Island. “Wu-Tang came up because they’re a large collective,” he said before admitting that they might have them beat in terms of straight up bars. “But just straight ahead rap? I think they’re better. And not even to compare, I’m just a fan of theirs, right? But Dungeon Family is just unique in a way where we did it all. I do think that we might be the most critical and commercially acclaimed large collective that hip-hop has given birth to. Ain’t nobody, ain’t nothing like the Dungeon Family.”
