Kneecap had a terror charge thrown out of court on Friday (Sept. 26) in a legal victory for the Irish rap trio. Rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, had been charged with a terrorism offense for allegedly showing support for Hezbollah, a group proscribed terrorist status by the U.K. government. But at Woolwich Crown Court on Friday, the judge presiding over the case dismissed the charge due to a technical error in the way the charges were brought by London’s Metropolitan Police (via Sky News). Ó hAnnaidh had always denied any wrongdoing in the case, and had been granted unconditional bail since June. Explore See latest videos, charts and news The incident occurred in November 2024 at a concert at London’s Kentish Town Forum. Video footage from the show appeared to show Ó hAnnaidh displaying a flag associated with Hezbollah, and he was subsequently charged with an terrorism offence in May. In August, legal arguments by Ó hAnnaidh’s team questioned whether the charge was brought within the six-month time limit. His defense team argued that the case should be thrown out. Ó hAnnaidh claimed that the charges were politically motivated, and linked the case to the band’s longstanding support for the people of Palestine.  Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring, the judge presiding over the case, said that “proceedings against the defendant were instituted unlawfully and are null.” Following the ruling, the judge said, “Mr O hAnnaidh, you are free to go,” which was met by cheers and applause in the public gallery. The court was told: “You can do your celebrating outside, but the court now has other business to attend to.” The judge commented that the decision was not a ruling on his innocence or guilt, but the technical error in bringing the case. Kneecap’s manager Daniel Lambert wrote on social media, “We have won. Liam Óg is a free man. We said we would fight them and win. We did (Twice). Kneecap has NO charges OR convictions in ANY country, EVER. Political policing has failed. Kneecap is on the right side of history. Britain is not.” The Northern Irish hip-hop trio released their breakthrough album Fine Art in 2024 alongside a self-titled biopic which saw critical acclaim, and was nominated for an Academy Award as well as winning a BAFTA prize. In April 2025, the group ended their Coachella sets with a message that stated: “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It is being enabled by the U.S. government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes. F–k Israel; free Palestine.” A number of industry names including Sharon Osbourne called for them to be removed from the bill and their work visas to be revoked. Their set at Glastonbury Festival in June was well-attended and peaceful, and went ahead despite disquiet from the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer who said their performance would not be “appropriate.”  They have since been banned from a number of countries (Hungary and Canada) and been forced to cancel shows in the U.S., as well as in the U.K. while the court case was ongoing. Earlier this month (Sept. 18), the trio played their largest ever headline show in the U.K. at London’s Wembley Arena and were joined by Massive Attack. Source link

A wave of Latin artists took over the 2025 Premios Juventud that were hosted in Panama City on Thursday night (Sept. 25), marking the first time the awards were presented outside the United States.  Coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month and under the theme “evolving to the rhythm of music,” this year’s move “reinforces TelevisaUnivision’s commitment to honoring the strength, values and traditions of Latin American communities,” according to a statement shared with Billboard. Bad Bunny and Danny Ocean lead this year’s nominations with six nods each, followed by the five-time nominees Anitta, Beéle, Carín León, Emilia, Myke Towers, Netón Vega and Peso Pluma. Traditionally, the nominations salute today’s youth in music, television, social media, streaming and pop culture with an eligibility period from May 31, 2024, to June 1, 2025, and the winners are determined by popular vote.  Meanwhile, Carlos Vives and Myke Towers were recognized as this year’s Agents of Change. Vives for his dedication to cultural and community development through his Tras La Perla Foundation, and Towers for his work with the Young Kingz Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on empowering vulnerable communities.  On television, artists such as Maluma, Camilo, Grupo Firme, Marc Anthony, Bad Gyal, Gloria Trevi, and Sech, to name a few, graced the stage with their vibrant performances, and at the same time, Billboard was catching all the action at the blue carpet that fans didn’t watch on TV.  Below, check out some of the action that happened behind the scenes.

His brother, Jhonny Caz, agreed: “She can easily form part of Grupo Firme, she matches our vibe.” Bad Gyal is an Honorary Latina Trending on Billboard if ( !window.pmc.harmony?.isEventAdScheduledTime() ) { pmcCnx.cmd.push(function() { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 2, } } }, playerId: ‘4057afa6-846b-4276-bc63-a9cf3a8aa1ed’, playlistId: ‘754a4017-7528-4527-93f2-2227cb408d6e’, }).render(«connatix_contextual_player_div»); }); } else { // This should only be get called when page cache is not cleared and it’s event time. window.pmc.harmony?.switchToHarmonyPlayer(); } Ahead of her performance of “Da Me” at the 2025 Premios Juventud, Bad Gyal talked about feeling like an honorary Latina. “I’m a big fan of Latin music and from the Caribbean since I was little,” she told Billboard. “It’s the music I’ve connected with the most. For me it is something very physical, very corporal, and it entered by body since I was very little.” The Spanish artist said her favorite reggaetón artists are DY (formerly known as Daddy Yankee) and Don Omar.

It’s coming out really nice; it smells delicious. I’m the biggest perfume fan; I own like 150!” The Mexican pop star won the girl power award for “En 4,” her collaboration with Anitta.

I feel very grateful to Karol for inviting me to participate in her ‘Tropicoqueta’ album.” De La Ghetto Gives Panama its Flowers Trending on Billboard if ( !window.pmc.harmony?.isEventAdScheduledTime() ) { pmcCnx.cmd.push(function() { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 2, } } }, playerId: ‘4057afa6-846b-4276-bc63-a9cf3a8aa1ed’, playlistId: ‘754a4017-7528-4527-93f2-2227cb408d6e’, }).render(«connatix_contextual_player_div»); }); } else { // This should only be get called when page cache is not cleared and it’s event time. window.pmc.harmony?.switchToHarmonyPlayer(); } While some might debate where if reggaetón music has its roots in Puerto Rico or Panama, De La Ghetto arrived at the blue carpet to give his opinion. “The first reggae song in Spanish was El General,” the Puerto Rican artist said before singing a bit of “Te Ves Buena.” “I was a kid in second grade. What Nando Boom, Renato, and El Rookie did later evolved in Puerto Rico, but reggae in Spanish, reggaeton, its beginnings, were in Panama, and then Jamaica.” Source link

Mariah Carey‘s sparkle doesn’t dull on her 16th studio album, Here For It All, which was released on Friday (Sept. 26) via gamma. The 11-track LP was preceded by two singles, “Type Dangerous” and “Sugar Sweet,” the latter featuring Shenseea and Kehlani. “Type Dangerous” won best R&B at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where Carey received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and also became her landmark 50th Billboard Hot 100 hit as well as her first No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay in nearly 20 years. The project also includes collaborations with Anderson .Paak (“Play This Song”) and The Clark Sisters (“Jesus I Do”). Although she’s not featured on the album, SZA and MC previewed a snippet of “In Your Feelings” during their Apple Music conversation in NYC Wednesday (Sept. 24). And Mimi told Gayle King in her CBS Mornings interview earlier on release week about the intentionality behind the title track and its sequencing on the project. “The last song on the album I decided first. I was like, ‘The last song is going to be “Here For It All.” And I’m going to make it the title track.’ It’s just something that feels good to me, and I didn’t want people to miss it,” she said. Here For It All arrives seven years after her last studio album, Caution. The 10-song LP included collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign (“The Distance”), Slick Rick and Blood Orange (“Giving Me Life”) and Gunna (“Stay Long Love You”). It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and topped Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Listen to Here For It All below. Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox Sign Up Source link

It’s been a turbulent ride since Young Thug was released from jail in October 2024. Nearly 11 months later, Thugger finally returns to speak out with his music, as the highly anticipated UY Scuti album arrived on Friday (Sept. 26). Explore See latest videos, charts and news Thugger set the table for UY Scuti with the Future-assisted “Money on Money” in April. He followed up with “Miss My Dogs” earlier in September, which found him apologizing and addressing some major figures in his life, including girlfriend Mariah the Scientist, Drake, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Future and Lil Baby. The Atlanta native’s last album, Business Is Business, was released in June 2023 while Thug was still behind bars. The LP debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 89,000 total album units earned. UY Scuti suffered plenty of delays before arriving, as the project was previously rumored to be released in May and June, before getting pushed to Sept. 19. Thug pivoted to Sept. 26 out of respect for Cardi B, who dropped her Am I the Drama? album on Sept. 19. “Yall know I wasn’t dropping Friday. It’s a ladies day,” he wrote to X. And Cardi replied, “And you better step next week …you got this, You know this !!” Thugger explained to GQ in April about why he titled the project UY Scuti. “I just feel big, you know. The name of my album UY Scuti. I feel like I’m one of the biggest stars,” he said. “I did a lot. Founding this culture. The new rap game that’s happening right now. I’m out of this world. Not like God, though.” Young Thug spent Wednesday (Sept. 24) at the Los Angeles federal courthouse supporting his friend Metro Boomin, who was facing trial in his civil sexual assault lawsuit.

Doja Cat is back to being a pop star on her new album Vie. The 15-track project dropped on Friday (Sept. 26) and includes one feature from Doja’s “Kiss Me More“ sister, SZA. The album also includes the lead single “Jealous Type,” which Doja performed at the 2025 VMAs alongside celebrated saxophonist Kenny G. Doja previously said this album would be more pop-lenient compared to her 2023 rap album Scarlet, and will focus on love, romance, and sex. She made good on that promise, as Vie‘s sound never strays away from the 80s-infused pop energy heard on past Doja hits like “Say So.” The singer and rapper spoke about working with producer Jack Antonoff for the lighthearted record in an interview with Apple Music, and said crafting the record together became a very personal experience. “I’m working with Jack Antonoff and working with a person that’s new in my life,” she told Zane Lowe. “And so it’s the grappling with talking about something personal and creating something fresh, and then getting to know someone new, and then all of these things fell together really naturally. He’s been such a wonderful person to work with.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news Now that the project is out, Doja Cat will celebrate the release with her Ma Vie World Tour. While she has only announced shows in Asia, New Zealand, and Australia, she’s set to perform on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 4, so hopefully some North American dates will follow after that.

Leading up to the Latin American leg of his Cosa Nuestra World Tour, set to continue on Oct. 13 in Chile, Rauw Alejandro dropped his new studio album Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0 — a prequel to his chart-topping Cosa Nuestra released last fall — on Friday (Sept. 26). Explore See latest videos, charts and news A contrast to his 2024 set that was elegant and glamorous, and inspired by New York in the ‘70s and the era of the Sicilian mafia, Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0 “is all about the Caribbean, not only Puerto Rico,” he tells Billboard. “There’s so much inspiration in music from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti — I believe we’re all one nation. The Caribbean shares the same blood — we’re Indian, African and Spanish — that’s our race.”  Sonically, the 14-track set offers traditional bomba and plena (“Carita Linda,” “Caribeño”); his first-ever bachata called “Silencio,” written and produced by Romeo Santos; and closes with three brand new salsa tunes, including the sultry “Callejón de los Secretos” with Mon Laferte. Rauw Alejandro Marco Perretta In between, he gives fans his signature perreo and R&B numbers, including “Buenos Términos,” “Nostalgia de Otoño” and “Contrabando,” and is also home to the previously released 2024 banger “Santa” with Rvssian and Ayra Starr. Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0 — which Rauw began working on in 2023 — drops in the midst of this Cosa Nuestra world tour, allowing him to create new music while “staying in the same era and character,” he notes.  “The meaning of Cosa Nuestra is so big that I have to release 20 albums to explain its concept. There’s no time to do that in just one album,” he laughs. “I’m going to continue to bring my roots to the world. Nowadays I feel so connected with my people and am very proud of where I come from. I don’t have to look outside when I have everything here.”  Stream and listen to Cosa Nuestra: Capítulo 0 below: Source link

The 2025 Premios Juventud trophies were handed out Thursday night (Sept. 25) in Panama at a ceremony filled with exciting performances by stars ranging from Marc Anthony and Gloria Trevi to this year’s Agents of Change honorees, Carlos Vives and Myke Towers. The event started with a powerful tribute to Panama that included a combination of legends, music icons and emerging artists, with Boza, Dímelo Flow, Farruko, Los Rabanes, Nando Boom, Natti Natasha, Samy and Sandra Sandoval, Sech and Willie Colón performing classics such as “La Murga”, “Ellos Benia Dem Bow” and “Gallina Fina”. Other Latin music stars shone with their vibrant performances at the first-ever edition of the event held outside the United States. Xavi made his Premios Juventud debut, performing his single “Corazón de Piedra”; Maluma took the stage to sing his latest hit “Bronceador,” and Grupo Firme performed “El Beneficio de la Duda.” Additionally, Bad Gyal sang “Da Me,” Camilo and Morat joined forces for their collaboration “Me Toca a Mí,” and Farruko presented “Bandido” along with his new single, “Oe Oe.” Hosted by Alejandra Espinoza, Clarissa Molina, and Nadia Ferreira, the 22nd edition of Premios Juventud was broadcast live from the Figali Convention Center in Panama City via Univision, UNIMÁS, Galavisión, and ViX. Bad Bunny and Morat led the winners’ list of winners with three awards each. The Puerto Rican superstar won best urban track (“DTMF”), best urban mix (“Adivino”), and best urban album (Debí Tirar Más Fotos), while the Colombian band got favorite group or duo of the year, best pop/rock song (“Me Toca a Mí”), and best pop album (Ya Es Mañana). The Premio Juventud artist of the year award went to Karol G, who also won tropical hit of the year (“Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”). Carín León also got two trophies: best Mexican music song (“El Amor de Mi Herida”) and best Mexican music album (Boca Chueca, Vol. 1). But who topped our ranking of the best performances of the night? Keep reading to find out!

It was a moment that cheered up the audience after a series of less impressive performances.

Both dressed in army-inspired gear, together they kicked off with the infectious trap number “Pancc,” the lead track from their recent joint album 167BPM. Wearing a durag and a shirt that read, “Yo vivo en Venezuela y no quiero guerra,” Louis struck a balance between resistance and a plea for peace. The duo kept the momentum alive with their electrifying reggaetón number “Oe Oe,” amping up the crowd before being joined by dreadlocked Domincian artist Makako el Cerebro for the rhythmic “Maracaibo.”  Natti Natasha’s Sweet Revelation Trending on Billboard if ( !window.pmc.harmony?.isEventAdScheduledTime() ) { pmcCnx.cmd.push(function() { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 2, } } }, playerId: ‘4057afa6-846b-4276-bc63-a9cf3a8aa1ed’, playlistId: ‘754a4017-7528-4527-93f2-2227cb408d6e’, }).render(«connatix_contextual_player_div»); }); } else { // This should only be get called when page cache is not cleared and it’s event time. window.pmc.harmony?.switchToHarmonyPlayer(); } Natti Natasha looked like a fairy as she revealed the gender of her baby during the premiere of her emotional ballad “Traje Aquí.” In what marked one of the most moving moments of the evening, the Dominican star — dressed in an ample, flowing white dress — sang sweetly accompanied by the National Youth Symphony Orchestra before a pink light illuminated her, clearly indicating what she’s expecting.

Duo Gaitanes and Omar Alfanno opened the segment with a rendition of “A Puro Dolor,” the pop ballad written by Alfanno and made famous by Son by Four in 2020. They followed with “Muy Dentro de Mi,” and the tribute culminated with Erika Ender, one of the nation’s most celebrated songwriters, taking the stage to perform her global phenomenon “Despacito,” a song she co-wrote that forever changed the landscape of Latin music. It was another moment of Panamanian pride, appropriate and well-deserved for celebration.

(LCD in fact didn’t seem to play it at all between 2011 and 2024, although they were, to be fair, also on hiatus from 2011 through 2016.) It was thus a thrill when they let the song rip fairly early in their Saturday night mainstage set. Perhaps it was also projection, but the lyrics — “Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know, oh, where to begin/Well, we’re North Americans/But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again/Come on, North America” — certainly felt like commentary on the sad and confusing state of current affairs in the U.S. In fact it requires a certain degree of dissociation, suspension of reality and/or mental gymnastics to enjoy dancing at a music festival with your friends while ICE agents roam the streets, the environment continues its collapse, mass shootings persist, public figures are assassinated, income inequality deepens and censorship takes hold over civil liberties we thought were innate. It was hard not to be amongst the crowd over the weekend and not wonder how many people had canceled their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions in the days following Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary suspension from his show. Attending any given music festival is a major privilege, and sometimes one feels guilty about it when things outside the gates feel so despairing. And simultaneously what a welcome relief it is to just dance for awhile. With much to mourn in America right now, James Murphy put it aptly while singing “I don’t know, I don’t know, oh where to begin.” But the beauty of an LCD set is not only that they’re one of the best live acts of a generation, but that they are thus so because their music has tremendous intellect and emotional weight. You can dance to it, and you can cry too, and a lot of people were doing both throughout the show as the group tore through essentials like “Home” and “Dance Yrself Clean” along with “Someone Great,” an anthem of love, loss and the pragmatic realities of when someone great is gone. The song felt especially apt on Saturday given that the dance world lost a giant over the weekend, with the announcement coming earlier in the day that Keith McIver of legendary Scottish duo Optimo (Espacio) had died from brain cancer at age 57. Murphy honored McIver during the show, saying the band had lost a friend while wearing a yellow T-shirt declaring “No DFA Without Optimo,” a reference to the crucial influence the duo had on Murphy’s legendary DFA label.

Resorts World NYC, which partnered with Nas, received unanimous approval in a 6-0 vote from the Community Advisory Board to bring its $5.5 billion casino to Queens. Following Thursday’s (Sept. 25) victory, the Resorts World project is now on the 1-yard line, awaiting a final approval decision from the Gaming Facility Location Board. Resorts World officials hope the Southeast Queens casino will open doors by July 2026, and the Aqueduct Park project is expected to be one of the largest in the U.S. at 350,000 square feet. “On behalf of the entire Resorts World team, I want to thank the Community Advisory Committee for recognizing the impact we will have not only on Queens but all of New York City and State,” said Robert DeSalvio, who serves as the president of Genting Americas East. “We are incredibly grateful to the large number of residents, partners, and supporters who touted this project, without a single person speaking against it. This is a testament to our mission – solidified over the last 15 years – to be the best neighbor possible here in Queens.” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. even took a shot at Jay-Z, after Roc Nation’s proposal was struck down by the CAC last week, which has all but killed Hov’s hopes of building a casino in Times Square. “There’s a theme in Queens, and I know that Nas was a part of this: Queens get the money. Sorry, Jay-Z, we win again,” Richards quipped. “You can let the Brooklyn borough president know that I send my regards to him.” Along with a state-of-the-art casino and 30 eateries, Resorts World will open a 7,000-person capacity entertainment venue to bring concerts, games and events to the area. According to Covers, NBA champion Kenny “The Jet” Smith will help bring a sports and media complex to the Resorts World campus. The Resorts World project hopes to bring 24,000 new jobs to Queens and $1 million in new revenue during its first year of operation. Resorts World wasn’t the only bid to hear good news, as MGM Empire Casino’s bid to transform its racino to a full-service casino in Yonkers was also approved, meaning there’s one gaming license remaining for New York. “This is an ambitious project that will give new opportunities to the hard-working families who call Queens home, attract top-tier talent, and build up the next generation of leaders,” Nas said in March 2024 when he came on board with Resorts World. “Clearly, with this project, the world is ours.” Source link
