Three years after she jumped on the remix for BTS‘ smash “Butter,” Megan Thee Stallion has linked back up with the band’s leader, Rm. Stream their latest collaboration, “Neva Play,” now.

“Money talkin’, it’s my first language/ Me and Rm gangin’,” she raps before Rm jumps in. “Me and Megan on the way/ For Asia, man, we paved the way,” he says confidently. The anime-inspired video sees the two brought to life in animated form.

Rumors of a swap deal have been swirling since the Hot Girl Coach first lent a verse to BTS’ Grammy-nominated track, which she also performed live with the band during their first run of post-Covid shows in the US. After teasing a new song by sharing a purple heart emoji last week, Army knew their time had finally come.

“This is one of my favorite Rm verses I’ve heard!” she shared via Twitter.

Megan Thee Stallion has dropped a new single, “Neva Play,” featuring BTS member Rm. The duo have been teasing the collaborative song, with Megan noting “This is one of my favorite Rm verses I’ve heard! I’ve never heard him rap in this style before.”

The single arrived with a dynamic music video. While the live-action clip does showcase Megan rapping the new track, Rm does not personally appear. Instead, it features an animated version of the musician during his verse.

Megan Thee Stallion has a new song out!

At midnight on Friday (September 6), the 29-year-old Grammy-winning rapper and Rm from BTS released their new collab titled “Neva Play.”

“One, two, three, four / Five, six, seven, eight / Let them know we on the way (Ah), countin’ zeroes every day (Yah) / You know that we never play, ayy (Ayy)” Megan and Rm, 29, sing together on the chorus. “One, two, three, four / Five, six, seven, eight / Let them know we on the way (Yeah), countin’ zeroes every day (Ah) / You know that we never play, ayy (Ayy)”

Megan Thee Stallion and Rm are joining forces for new song, “Neva Play.” The Houston rapper announced their collaborative single on Sunday. It arrives on Sept. 6.

“Neva Play With Rm Out Friday Hotties X Army,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing the hashtag #Megjoon along with the single’s cover art. The cover’s drawing features Megan with blue hair holding fanned-out cash, while Rm looks over his shoulder behind her.

Megan added in the caption, “ps. This is one of my favorite Rm verses I’ve heard! I’ve never...

Speculation about a potential collaboration between Megan Thee Stallion and BTS ignited when Megan posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter) on August 29. Her post featured a series of emojis, including a horse, a purple heart, and side-eye emojis, with an X symbol placed between the first two emojis. Fans quickly latched onto the purple heart, a symbol often associated with BTS, fueling rumors of a possible collaboration between the rapper and the K-pop superstars.

These speculations gained more traction when the official BTS account on X quoted Megan’s post, adding a hedgehog and a koala emoji to the mix. This subtle response led fans to believe that the collaboration might involve Rm, one of BTS’s members, whose BT21 character is a koala named Koya. The hedgehog emoji is thought to be a playful reference to Rm’s current hairstyle,...

Official or not, you don’t want to mess with Lady Deadpool, but a fan thought it was funny to take to the internet to claim that they heard she and her husband had divorced.

BTS were already massive in their native South Korea in 2017 when they scored one of their defining hits, the emotional ballad “Spring Day.” It was a poignant tale of grief and loss. Three years later, “Dynamite” showed a totally different extreme of their music, going for dance-floor kicks. The Chic-style disco rush of “Dynamite” was a blast of sunshine, during the bleak days of the pandemic in the summer of 2020. But different as they are, both songs show how BTS became international superstars, breaking beyond the world of K-pop and conquering the planet.

The Grammy Museum is amping up its K-pop programming for 2024.

The downtown Los Angeles museum, which has made a two-year-long commitment to showcasing exhibits and programming surrounding K-pop, announced a new exhibit featuring artists from Korean entertainment conglomerate Hybe last week. They’ve also added two new events with K-pop groups Ateez and Zerobaseone.

Presented as a partnership between the Grammy Museum and the Korean entertainment company, the upcoming exhibit is titled “Hybe: We Believe In Music, A Grammy Museum Pop-Up.” The exhibit is set to open Aug. 2 and will chronicle and capture “the power and history of Hybe, spotlighting its legacy of unparalleled innovation and creativity as a trend-setting global entertainment brand,” according to a release.

The Grammy Museum’s latest addition will spotlight several Hybe artists including BTS, Seventeen, Tomorrow x Together, Enhypen, Le Sserafim, Zico, fromis_9, Boynextdoor, Tws, &Team, Illit and Katseye.

You’ll have to pardon Laura Jane Grace, she’s not feeling herself. On “All Fucked Out,” her latest single backed by the Mississippi Medicals, she explains her predicament atop a dusty tarpaulin of loping country-punk: “I’m all fucked out of the real thing/I’m dry like bread – stale & crusty/I got just the ends left.” For what it’s worth, though, she sounds like she’s making the best of it, especially in the context of what inspired the song.

It may seem hard to believe, but BTS has been in action for 10 years.

Could the collaboration between BTS member Jung Kook and Usher be more than a one-and-done? In a TikTok video released by Jung Kook over the weekend, the two rendez-vous in a warehouse, where they break out into synchronized choreography when Usher’s 2004 single “Yeah!” starts playing.

Jung Kook added the hashtag #StayTuned to the post, which could hint at more to come from the two.

Megan Thee Stallion‘s legal battle with her record label 1501 Entertainment is coming to an end!

The 28-year-old “Sweetest Pie” rapper has been involved in a lawsuit with the label for over three years now, after trying to renegotiate her contract.

Back in March 2020, she claimed that the label was not letting her release new music, to which they denied the claim.

In August 2021, a judge ruled that she could release her remix of BTS‘ “Butter.” She has most recently teamed up with Cardi B for “Bongos.”

Now, the years long legal battle between Megan and 1501 has reached a settlement.

1501 announced on Instagram that both sides have “mutually reached a confidential settlement to resolve their legal differences,” and they have agreed to “amicably part ways.”

“BTS: Yet to Come” will be available globally – in 240 countries — via Prime Video beginning Nov. 9.

The film will feature a performance by the K-pop superstar group from last October in Busan, South Korea. Held at the Asiad Main Stadium, the concert played to around 50,000 people and was part of Busan’s World Expo 2030 bid. BTS features Rm, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook.

The concert film, produced by Hybe, Cj 4DPlex, and Trafalgar Releasing, will include 19 performances of their hit tracks. Among the songs are “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Run,” “Mic Drop,” “Yet to Come (The Most Beautiful Moment),” and more. The performance also included speeches and copious fireworks. The aim is to give Prime Video subscribers a concert-like experience.

BTS ‘Yet to Come’ music video

“We are thrilled to partner with Hybe in welcoming BTS: Yet to Come to Prime Video,” Prime Video Southeast Asia director David Simonsen said.

Concert film BTS: Yet to Come has been set to stream on Amazon’s Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories starting November 9. The K-pop superstars’ concert originally took place in October last year at the Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, South Korea as part of the city’s World Expo 2030 bid.

Produced by Hybe, Cj and 4DPlex, the movie includes 19 performances of the seven-member band’s hit tracks, such as “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Run,” “Mic Drop” and “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment).”

Approximately 50,000 people attended the free concert to see Rm, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook on stage. Trafalgar (which is also handling overseas rollout of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour as well as previous BTS films) then released a version titled BTS: Yet to Come in Cinemas in February, resulting in a global theatrical gross of over $29M.

‘BTS: Yet to Come’, the concert movie of K-pop idols BTS, will be available globally on an Ott platform starting from November 9. The idea behind the Ott release is to celebrate the glitz and glamour of K-pop.

It was held at the Asiad Main Stadium with approximately 50,000 people in attendance.

The concert was also live-streamed on Weverse, the fan platform operated by Hybe. The film sees BTS perform 19 of their hit tracks, including ‘Dynamite’, ‘Butter’, ‘Run’, ‘Mic Drop’ and the title track, ‘Yet To Come’.

Jung Kook knows exactly how he wants to see you, or so he claims on “3D,” his second solo single, which features Jack Harlow. The BTS member presented the song, whose hook finds him singing “I wanna see it in motion, in 3D,” on Friday with a video that presents him in all known dimensions.

In a message to Jung Kook’s fans on WeVerse, his label, Big Hit Music wrote, “as a Pop R&b track with clever expressions of feelings toward an unattainable person from the perspectives of first,...

The 2023 Global Citizen Festival campaign has culminated in the largest commitment from any government this year to the International Fund for Agricultural Development to address the global hunger crisis, announced by Emmanuel Macron, President of France.

An unforgettable day of advocacy and action in Central Park saw landmark commitments from world leaders, philanthropists and the business community, alongside powerful performances and appearances from the biggest names in music and entertainment to advance Global Citizen’s mission to End Extreme Poverty Now, and hold to account leaders from around the world gathered in New York City for the Un General Assembly.

The flagship event from Global Citizen, the world’s leading international advocacy organization, generated a record-shattering 3.3 million actions taken by global citizens around the world, calling on governments to address the major systemic issues our world is facing, including the global hunger crisis, the climate crisis, and equity for women and girls.

Jung Kook made his Global Citizen Festival solo debut on Saturday at the Great Lawn in New York’s Central Park where he unveiled a few surprises for Army, including performing “Seven” with unannounced guest Latto who sang her feature on their collab. His headlining set marked the first time a South Korean solo artist headlined the festival.

As fan footage from the event showcased, Jung Kook performed his summer hit, naming off the days of the week on the catchy chorus, flanked by a bevy of dancers. Towards the end of the song,...

BTS’ V delivered a trio of tender, swooning songs during his short but sweet performance on NPR’s new Tiny Desk offshoot, Tiny Desk Korea.

The performance was filmed last month in Seoul and found V working alongside an eight-person band of musicians, most of whom had flown from the U.S. to South Korea for the gig. Despite their recent formation — and ostensible jet lag — the musicians provided V with the most dulcet of tones as he breezed through some of the songs off his debut solo EP, Layover.

Sure, V has achieved idol status during his decade-long career with BTS, received recognition as an actor for his supporting role in the 2016 Korean drama Hwarang, and established his own identity as a singer-songwriter. But he’s more than happy to admit that he doesn’t have it all figured out.

For the past three years, the 27-year-old musician and actor, born Kim Taehyung, has been continuously writing songs, showing them to fans in occasional video livestreams only to start over entirely. All of it has been in pursuit of...

Seoul, July 25 (Ians) K-pop superband BTS member Jungkook’s new single ‘Seven’ featuring Latto (formerly known as Mulatto) has debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

It marks the 25-year-old’s first time to rule the chart as a soloist.

He is the second BTS member with a Hot 100 leader following his groupmate Jimin, who reigned the chart after his song ‘Like Crazy’ launched at No.1 back in April, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Jungkook’s previous high on the Billboard Hot 100 was when Charlie Puth’s ‘Left and Right’ featuring him hit No. 22 in July 2022. His own song ‘Stay Alive’ also spent a week on the list No. 95 in February last year.

The ‘Euphoria’ singer has posted six other Hot 100 leaders as part of BTS.

In a lovely victory for songs with absolutely zero ties to racially charged violence or drunken controversies, Jung Kook of BTS has secured his first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Seven,” which features rapper Latto, officially debuted in the top slot on Monday, July 24th, shutting out recent offerings from Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen.

With this latest accolade, Jung Kook joins bandmate Jimin as a BTS member with a solo chart-topping hit. BTS together previously hit No. 1 with “Dynamite,” “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat),” “Life Goes On,” “Butter,” “Permission To Dance,” and “My Universe.”

“Seven,” our recent Song of the Week co-produced and co-written by Andrew Watt, officially kicks off Jung Kook’s solo era — but there’s no word yet on when Army can expect a full album from the vocalist, dancer, and youngest member of BTS. According to Billboard, only eight other bands in history...

Jungkook of BTS has officially shared his first global solo single — “Seven” is here, and it includes a fun verse from rapper Latto. Stream it below.

Jungkook is no stranger to singing in English, as he does on “Seven,” having previously done so on BTS tracks “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “Permission to Dance,” and his 2022 collaboration with Charlie Puth, “Left and Right.”

The playful track is catchy and inviting, showing off the vocal abilities for which the youngest member of BTS is known: “You wrap around me and you give me life/ And that’s why night after night, I’ll be loving you right,” he sings. Latto jumps in for the bridge on the track produced by our 2022 producer of the year, Andrew Watt.

The music video for “Seven” features an appearance from South Korean actress Han So-hee, known for K-dramas like My Name and Nevertheless.

To celebrate the release, Jungkook...

Exclusive: Crunchyroll is joining Korean K-pop supergroup BTS’s animated superhero adventure Bastions.

The anime-focused international streamer has a struck a deal with producer Thymos Media for worldwide rights to the show, excluding China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea. It will begin airing the five-part series on Saturdays from this week (May 13).

After threatening to quit his musical career if he lost the case, Ed Sheeran was, to say the least, highly relieved Thursday (May 4) when a federal jury ruled that his song “Thinking Out Loud” (co-written with Amy Wadge) doesn’t infringe on the copyright of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” But the entire community of professional songwriters was also watching the case closely, and with no small degree of trepidation. “If this case had turned out differently, it would have completely changed the landscape,” says James “JHart” Abrahart,...

International sensations, BTS, held a free concert in Busan, South Korea on October 15, 2022.

Thanks to “Boy With Luv,” BTS have continued to make history by releasing the first Korean-language song to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.

The Halsey-featuring track appears on BTS’ 2019 EP Map of the Soul: Persona, and while its the first song sung in Korean to hit the Billions Club, it’s not BTS’ first entry into the Spotify success canon. In 2021, the K-pop group’s cut “Dynamite” earned the distinction, marking the first song by a Korean artist to achieve a billion streams. The following year, their track “Butter” hit the milestone as well.

“Boy With Luv” has always been a successful single. Since premiering in 2019, the song has set three Guinness World Records, including Most Viewed YouTube Video in 24 Hours, Most Viewed YouTube Music Video in 24 Hours, and Most Viewed YouTube Music Video by a K-Pop Group in 24 Hours. What’s more, Map of the Soul: Persona debuted at No.

BTS finally held their highly anticipated "Yet to Come" concert in Busan to promote the South Korean city's bid to host the 2030 World Expo on Oct. 15, and the boys did not disappoint.

The concert was attended by 50,000 ARMYs in person in Busan, with tens of millions of fans tuning into free live streams of the concert across Hybe's Weverse app, Naver Now, and Zepeto. Still, fans kept each other in the loop about what was going down on the ground throughout the show.

The boys performed a set of 18 songs that spanned their entire career, from "Ma City" and "Spring Day" to "Butter" and "Yet to Come." During the boys' ending speeches, the stadium sang "Happy Birthday" to Jimin in honor of his 27th birthday (which was on Oct. 13). Then, Jin revealed he would be the next member to release a solo single. Despite the boys' ongoing solo projects, the...

The music video for BTS’s 2021 megahit single ‘Butter’, whose fans include Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, has surpassed 800 million YouTube views, becoming the eighth video from the K-pop group to hit the milestone, reports Yonhap.

The video passed the 800 million threshold about 15 months after it was uploaded online on May 21 last year, the group’s agency Big Hit Music said.

The upbeat summer song became a global hit upon its release, staying on Billboard’s Hot 100 main singles chart for 10 non-consecutive weeks.

The song’s music video earned 108.2 million views in its first 24 hours, giving it the biggest first-day view count of all time on YouTube.

The seven-piece group will hold a one-day concert in Busan, 325 km southeast of Seoul, on October 15 to support the port city’s bid to host the World Expo in 2030.

Megan Thee Stallion is taking another step to put her professional relationship with 1501 Certified Entertainment behind her.

In court documents obtained by People, the 27-year-old’s attorneys requested 1 million in relief from the record label, with whom she has previously had legal issues regarding music releases. The rapper — who goes by her legal name Megan Pete in the filing — claims that her last two albums, Something for Thee Hotties and Traumazine, have fulfilled the requirements of her contract with 1501, which she has called “unconscionable.”

“Over the past two (2) years, Pete and 1501 shared a long and tortured history of disputes with each other concerning Pete’s recording agreement, including the unconscionability of the agreement in its original form, as well as disputes concerning the release of Pete’s music,” the complaint reads.

“The two have been able to resolve some of the disputes through the issuance of multiple temporary restraining...

Not much time has passed since we opened our MTV Video Music Awards predictions on July 26, but there’s already a clear and overwhelming front-runner to win Best K-Pop: BTS of course. They’ve dominated this category for years, and in fact rarely lose at the VMAs when nominated for fan-voted awards. So why have they never been nominated for Video of the Year?

To date BTS have won nine Moon Person statues at the VMAs. That includes three wins in a row for Best K-Pop for Boy With Luv featuring Halsey (2019), “On” (2020), and “Butter” (2021). The award was established in 2019, so BTS have never lost. They have also never lost Group of the Year, which was re-established in 2019 and produced three straight victories for the septet. Their remaining three victories were Best Choreography and Best Pop in 2020 for “On” and Song of Summer for “Butter” in 2021.

BTS are back and — literally — bigger than ever, with a massive three-cd collection available June 10. Titled Proof, the collection is an anthology featuring some of BTS’ biggest hits and most memorable songs that have been released throughout their nine-year career.

The three-disc album includes songs like 2013’s “No More Dream,” “Fake Love” (from Love Yourself: Tear) and fan favorite “Spring Day,” which topped Rolling Stone’s list of “Best BTS Songs of All-Time.

As the Billboard Music Awards draw near, it’s time to discuss which artists will be taking home the biggest categories of the night: Top Male Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Duo/Group, and the all-inclusive Top Artist.

This category will be a face-off between Drake and The Weeknd. The former topped the Billboard year-end Top Male Artists chart, which gives him an obvious advantage. However, the Billboard Music Awards deadline was in March, a few months after the year-end charts, which could make the difference. The Weeknd has not only had more longevity than Drake, he also dropped a whole new album in 2022. With all of that, don’t count out a Weeknd upset here, especially considering he leads nominations this year and has two big albums still in rotation. Neither of these artists are strangers to this award,...

The 2022 Billboard Music Awards are set to take place on May 15 at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas. This year's show is shaping up to be an exciting event with major artists like Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion, Silk Sonic, and more tapped to set the stage ablaze. The performance lineup for the BBMAs, announced on May 9, is noticeably missing this year's seven-time nominated act BTS. So why has the K-pop supergroup decided to sit out the 2022 BBMAs? We may have an idea.

BTS have amassed a whopping seven nods at the 2022 BBMAs, which include major categories such as top selling song for both their singles "Butter" and "Permission to Dance," top global 200 (excluding US), and top rock song for their collaborative effort with Coldplay for "My Universe." The global superstars sit atop the list of finalists with the most nominations among duo or group acts this year.

In case there was need for more Proof that BTS is the biggest K-pop group in the world, on Tuesday the group — comprising Jungkook, V, Jimin, Suga, J-Hope, Rm, and Jin — announced the tracklist of a three-part anthology album, Proof. It’s filled with new songs, unreleased demos, and some of the boys’ favorite previously released tracks.

Proof‘s first CD houses 19 tracks and it’s packed to the brim with hits from throughout the group’s career, including songs such as “Danger,” “Burning Up (Fire),” “DNA,” “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey,...

After teasing a new release at the end of their sold-out Las Vegas residency in April, BTS have confirmed that their new “anthology album” Proof will arrive on June 10.

James Corden has gone viral regularly since he started hosting The Late Late Show in 2015.

With the news, broken exclusively by Deadline, that Corden will be leaving the show in 2023, having signed a one-year extension, we look back at some of his finest moments.
