It’s already been more than eight months since the premiere of The Idol, The Weeknd‘s widely (and overly!) loathed HBO series, co-created with Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson. Bad reviews and middling ratings led to the show’s cancellation, and like most trending topics, the show has faded from our collective cultural memory.

Playboi Carti has received online backlash after his brief appearance on popular Kick streamer Adin Ross’ live broadcast earlier this week.On Sunday (February 4), Ross announced the ‘Whole Lotta Red’ rapper would be a guest on his livestream after he performed ‘FE!N’ with Travis Scott at the Grammys.

Playboi Carti and other major music artists, has been arrested for alleged wire fraud and identity theft.The 19-year-old – whose real name is Noah Michael Urban – was arrested last Tuesday (January 9), according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.He was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of aggravated identity theft.Urban – who is said to have gained notoriety online under his ‘King Bob’ moniker, an alias included the attorney office press release – is also reported to have leaked music by artists including Playboi Carti, Ariana Grande and Lil Uzi Vert.He does not currently face any charges related to song leaks.If convicted, Urban – who also went by ‘Sosa’, ‘Elijah’, and ‘Anthony Ramirez’ – faces up to 20 years in federal prison on each wire fraud charge, alongside a minimum mandatory penalty of two years’ imprisonment for the aggravated identity offences which will run consecutive to any other prison sentence.He is alleged to have stolen more than $800,000 (£630,800) from five different people.According to jail logs (per HipHopDX), Urban was handed an additional charge of being a fugitive from justice when he was picked up by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.Part of his charges relate to alleged fraudulent cryptocurrency use.Bitcoin was at the centre of an alleged leak of Playboi Carti’s music in 2020 when his producer, Jetsonmade, was accused of leaking the artist’s music for money.Playboi Carti’s last album came out on Christmas day 2020, described by NME in a three-star review as a “disappointing follow-up” that “boasts moments of brilliance”.

"Backr00ms," featuring Travis Scott, arrived on January 2.

This Sunday (June 4) The Idol will premiere on HBO. The Weeknd (or Abel Tesfaye, as he prefers to be known right now)'s TV series screened at the Cannes Film Festival last month and critics took time out of applauding things for nine minutes straight to pan the show, dismissing it as "queasy" and "vulgar" among many other insults.

D Savage is in a car, its speakers rattling with the bass of his unreleased song “I Know.” In the young rapper’s expression, there’s an understanding of the powerful potential that’s shaking his ride.

Playboi Carti has a history of teasing albums and releases that could be albums without ever actually dropping anything. There was the deluxe edition of 2020’s Whole Lotta Red that was announced but never materialized, as well as a separate full-length called Music.

Cole Bennett’s media empire Lyrical Lemonade has revealed the lineup for the 2023 edition of the Summer Smash Festival in its home state of Illinois. The headliners are pretty familiar if you follow major North American rap festivals —Kid Cudi, Future, and Playboi Carti — though one of the fest’s marquee performers is a secret for now, billed only as “a very special Chicago guest.” Best case scenario it’s Chief Keef, who hasn’t returned to the state in years.
