Sean "Diddy" Combs appealed his 50-month prison sentence Thursday before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, with his lawyers arguing the term was unfairly harsh. Combs was acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges but convicted on two interstate prostitution counts. His attorney Alexandra Shapiro told judges "This was the highest sentence ever for this type of charge," claiming Judge Arun Subramanian violated new federal guidelines against using acquitted conduct for sentencing. The hearing focused on whether the trial judge improperly relied on charges the jury rejected. Prosecutor Christy Slavik defended the sentence, citing Combs' admitted domestic violence. The appellate court will issue a ruling in the coming months under expedited status

Afrika Bambaataa, the influential rapper and DJ who helped create hip-hop culture, died Thursday from cancer complications in Pennsylvania at age 67. Born Lance Taylor, he founded the Universal Zulu Nation and pioneered electronic-rap fusion with his 1982 hit "Planet Rock," which sampled Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express." The Bronx native also collaborated with James Brown and John Lydon, appearing in "Beat Street" and contributing to the anti-apartheid "Sun City" album. Despite his musical legacy, Bambaataa's reputation was damaged by sexual abuse allegations from 2016. Multiple men accused him of misconduct, leading to his resignation from the Universal Zulu Nation. He paid a settlement in 2025 after a court default judgment. The Hip-Hop Alliance acknowledged his complex legacy while recognizing his foundational role in hip-hop's global movement. 

Nashville songstress Dani Jack releases her bold new single, "Runaway," out today, a gritty, attitude-filled song about the kind of chemistry that burns hot before disappearing just as fast. "I wrote 'Runaway' after getting ghosted by a guy who'd never been in a relationship longer than a month," shares Dani Jack. "No matter how electric it feels at the start, some people are just too afraid to stay. It's gritty, it's got attitude, and it might be my favorite release yet." Written by Dani Jack, John Cirillo, and Sarah Spencer, "Runaway" was produced by Grammy-winning Nashville producer Robin Ruddy, whose musicianship brings added weight and texture to the track's gritty, live-wire energy. Built around the frustration of loving someone who never learned how to stay, "Runaway" captures the emotional whiplash of mixed signals, broken promises, and the moment clarity finally replaces chasing. Dani Jack has steadily built her name in Nashville through strong vocals and relatable storytelling. Described by Edible Nashville as "a voice that makes you sit up and take notice," she blends country grit with bluesy soul and rock edge, drawing comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, Miranda Lambert, and Linda Ronstadt. Since relocating to Nashville in 2016, Dani has sharpened her craft as a commanding live performer, spending years on Lower Broadway stages. Her independently funded debut EP, Grace, arrived in 2018 following the exclusive premiere of her debut single "Fallin' For It" on WSMV TODAY. The project earned praise from Variety Beat for its vocal range and versatility and remains her most-streamed release. Her music video for "Fun To Be Had" premiered on CMT.com, helping expand her national reach, and she previously opened on Cirque Musica's arena tour. Rooted in authenticity rather than trends, Dani continues to write from a place of resilience, independence, and emotional truth, with "Runaway" standing as one of her sharpest statements yet. She celebrated the single with a release show on April 9 at The Green Light Bar in Nashville, performing the song live for fans ahead of today's official drop

Traditional country artist Christian Parker returns with his new single, "Gucci Boots," a lively honky-tonk burner co-written with former The Band Perry member Neil Perry. Inspired by a true story, the track turns an expensive breakup into a two-stepping country song, centered around the unforgettable mistake of buying an ex-girlfriend designer boots just before getting dumped. "'Gucci Boots' is a true story, unfortunately for my bank account," shares Christian. "I dated a girl named Caroline for about three months, bought her a pair of Gucci boots, and then she broke up with me not long after. Kept the boots, too, which feels like an important detail. It's one of those songs where you just kind of have to laugh at yourself. It's got that honky-tonk, two-stepping feel, but the story's really just about me learning the hard way that maybe I shouldn't buy designer before six months." Built on a classic country premise with a modern wink, "Gucci Boots" delivers the kind of personality-rich storytelling that country fans instantly latch onto. Equal parts heartbreak, humor, and barroom swagger, the song captures Christian's ability to make real-life misfortune sound like the perfect soundtrack for last call. Raised in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and sharpened in Texas honky-tonks, Christian Parker walked away from Capitol Hill and a law degree to fully pursue country music, building a loyal following ever since. With more than 13 million streams and two studio albums, Debutante and Been There, Done That, Parker has carved out a lane rooted in Southern rock grit, blues soul, and outlaw country honesty. With "Gucci Boots," Christian leans all the way into the wit, charm, and lived-in storytelling that define great traditional country music, turning one expensive lesson into a standout honky-tonk anthem that's as memorable as the story behind it

Joey Fatone says an *NSYNC reunion tour for their 30th anniversary in 2027 is unlikely. While promoting his docuseries Boy Band Confidential, Fatone told ET: "Do I see anything in the near future? No I don't." He confirmed all five members recently held a Zoom call but said they concluded there are no immediate plans. Fatone explained some bandmates have young children while others may not be interested, noting "I can only speak for myself." He expressed concerns about recapturing their chemistry after 20 years apart, saying "we also have the doubt of, 'what happens if this sucks?'" The group formed in 1995 and went on hiatus in 2002 after releasing four albums and scoring hits like "It's Gonna Be Me" and "Bye Bye Bye." Fatone concluded "I'm ready to go! So whenever you guys are ready.

Pink will host the 79th Tony Awards on June 7th at Radio City Music Hall. She called it "the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest-working people in showbiz." Pink has deep Broadway connections, with her songs "Raise Your Glass" featured in Moulin Rouge! The Musical and "F**kin' Perfect" in & Juliet. Pink has sold over 60 million albums worldwide, earned three Grammy Awards, and her recent "Summer Carnival Tour" became the second highest-grossing tour by a female artist, reaching 4 million fans across 131 shows. The Tonys ceremony will broadcast live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ at 8:00 p.m. EST

Born from the raw concrete of Sacramento, California, DONT YOU DARE (styled without the apostrophe) are a modern rock duo fusing the intensity of nu-metal and metalcore with raw, unfiltered emotion.
Vocalist Noah Duarte, a poet-turned-frontman, joined forces with guitarist Matt English to create a sound that's both therapeutic and confrontational, and the foundation of what would become DONT YOU DARE.
Today, the band shares the video for "I LOVE THE MISERY," because, really, who doesn't? "'I LOVE THE MISERY' is the darkest song we've written to date. It's the story of isolation and self-destruction. It takes you through every emotion you could think of when you're on that cliff about to jump, but then you ask 'Why?,'" the band states. "'I LOVE THE MISERY' is a personal favorite of mine because every night I sing it, it allows me to let go and release those demons from years ago that still linger," shares Duarte. "It's the pause in the set, the moment everyone opens their eyes to DONT YOU DARE. This song helped me heal. It's such an amazing experience to see people who don't even know us feel that as well. It doesn't matter what walk of life you're in, everyone has felt what 'I LOVE THE MISERY' is. 'I wanna wake up' - I came up with that years ago at this point, and to this day the hook still rings true when I'm going through a rough patch. I always tell myself, 'It will never get that bad again and I put one foot in front of the other.' It's an extremely painful and dark song but the underlying message is healing so cry, scream, yell or sing. Let it all out and live in the moment. That's what 'I LOVE THE MISERY' actually is."
DYD's debut single, "S.O.S." saw the band come out swinging, generating strong momentum across streaming platforms and rapid audience growth on social media with their second single, "BLACK & BLUE," continuing that momentum. "DIE4ME" doubled the growth and got the band their debut spot on Sirius XM Octane Test Drive. "I LOVE THE MISERY" takes the emotional intensity that the band is known for, telling a story about isolation and self-destruction

Continuing what has become the most unexpected and awesome collaboration of 2026, multi-platinum pop-punk royalty Yellowcard have joined forces with global children's education sensation Blippi to recharge and revamp their buzzing hit "Bedroom Posters" with a brand new duet version, out now via Better Noise. It's Yellowcard and Blippi's second track together, following "Go Go Go," and third recording of "Bedroom Posters."
This iteration of the track maintains the energy of the original, yet Blippi brings his own magic to the party. He has retrofitted the tune with a fresh and family-friendly perspective, flipping lyrics like "Tear down my bedroom posters" to "Look at my bedroom posters" and soaring with the band on a sky-high chant of "Airplanes and rollercoasters." Together, they also excitedly continue the "Year of Vehicles," extending the celebration of the vehicles kids dig the most - from race cars and monster trucks to excavators and everything in between.
It's the ultimate pop-punk anthem for the kids and mom and dad!
About the track, Yellowcard's Ryan Key said, "My favorite part about this process was handing over an instrumental version of 'Bedroom Posters' to the Blippi team and letting them completely re-write the lyrics. I had the idea that this feature could be perfect because of the concept of posters on kids' walls. I think they nailed it and this is hopefully going to inspire a generation of new little rockers!
Regarding the accompanying video, he states, "It was so fun to make. I think it pushed us all out of our comfort zones a little, and at this stage of our career, that usually leads to an amazing outcome. For me, as a first-time dad of a 2-year-old who is already showing signs of being very musical, I think this is going to be a really special way for him to connect with my music and see me doing what I love. I hope that energy is what other parents find when they are watching and listening to this with their kids."
Blippi said, "Music is one of my favorite ways to play and collaborate, so teaming up with my friends in Yellowcard was a blast! We turned 'Bedroom Posters' into a version that kids and families can sing, dance, and laugh along with. I can't wait for everyone to hear it!"
As mentioned, "Bedroom Posters" follows hot on the heels of Yellowcard's appearance on Blippi's "Go Go Go." The collab caught the attention of Billboard, praising how the track "introduces pop-punk to a new generation just in time for Yellowcard's comeback."
Yellowcard's "Bedroom Posters" has quietly emerged as a staple with millions of streams and views as well being the current radio single featuring Good Charlotte; it's landed at No. 5 on the Alternative Radio Charts. Beyond looks from Alternative Press Magazine, Rock Sound, and more, Consequence applauded how "the song finds Yellowcard singer Ryan Key trading vocals with Good Charlotte's Joel Madden," while Rolling Stone put it best, "It's the collaboration made in pop-punk dreams."
Meanwhile, Yellowcard are set to embark on their eagerly awaited headline run, "Up Up Down Down Tour," across the US. The stacked bill features special guests New Found Glory and Plain White T's. This run kicks on May 6 at Atlanta's Coca-Cola Roxy, visits major cities such as Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Nashville, and New York, and concludes on June 17 at Boston's Leader Bank Pavilion.

Fresh off their winter tour supporting Nothing More and Catch Your Breath, Archers drop another banger! They have shared the visualizer for new single "Say So." 
Co-written and co-produced by Erik Ron (Bad Omens, From Ashes to New, Motionless in White) and Jon Eberhard (I Prevail, Wind Walkers, Hollywood Undead, Sleeping with Sirens), the song deftly demonstrates the band's mastery of dynamics. The moody verses collide into the explosive and frenetic choruses and a ballistic breakdown, making for a overall thrilling listen.
"'Say So' is a song about the frustration of knowing a relationship is coming to an end," offers the band. "Knowing that and wanting to rip the band-aid off instead of simply waiting for the inevitable."
Archers are returning to the road this month, heading to Europe for a run of performances. All dates are below. They will also appear at Welcome to Rockville in the U.S. next month, in addition to Inkcarceration in July and Louder Than Life in September.
"SAY SO" follows "THE DIRT," the band's debut single for the label.
