Attention, YG fans: At his shows, MAGA might as well stand for Make A Grand Adieu.
It’s hardly a secret that YG is not a Donald Trump fan — “FDT,” which stands for just what you’d think it stands for, being one of his most famous songs. But he took it next-level at a concert at the Mala Luna Music Festival in San Antonio, Texas, kicking a fan off-stage for refusing to curse the president.
“I don’t know if I want to shake your hand yet,” he tells the pumped-up fan. “Listen, I spotted you out in the crowd. I asked you if you f— with Donald Trump. You said you don’t know. So, since you don’t know, I need you to make up your mind tonight… Because I know your mama, your daddy, your grandmama, your grandfather is watching, I want you to state your name and go ‘F— Donald Trump.’ No, you won’t? …. He a Donald Trump supporter. Get his ass out of here.”
Besides his 2016 song “FDT,” a collaboration with the late Nipsey Hussle, YG has drawn his line in the sand on Trump — whom he’s called “a wicked man” — plenty of other times. That same year, he destroyed a Trump piñata more than once on stage, and his nonprofit organization 4 Hundred Waze teamed up with the L.A. bagel truck Yeasty Boys to give out “F— Donald Trump” bagels to voters in Compton, Calif. “You racist-ass, old-ass motherf—er,” he said in addressing the piñata at one of the appearances.
“Don’t come to a motherf—ing show with YG on the motherf—ing bill if you a Donald Trump supporter,” YG was reported to have said after the fan’s removal. “F— are you doing? Don’t let his ass back in the crowd. Tell him YG said so. Donald Trump’s racist. He don’t f— with black people, so if you f— with Donald Trump, you racist as f— and I can’t f— with you. Period.”

Harry Styles strutted, sashayed and transfixed the crowd at the Forum on Friday night (Dec. 13) for his combination record release party and one-night-only superfan affair. “Fine Line,” as his album is titled and the engagement touted on the outside of the venue, featured the live debuts of nine new songs including standout stunners “Golden,” [...]
Ten years before “Señorita,” another famous twosome recorded a romantic duet together: Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson, who joined forces on “Relator.” It was the first single from an entire album of collaborations, 2009’s “Break Up,” which was inspired by the songs of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, but fans hardly ever got to hear [...]
Last week, Senator Thom Tillis and four other members of Congress sent a letter to an organization you may never have heard of, the American Law Institute (ALI).
