I’ve been working on a track for December 8 - something that honors the revolution, the lives given, and the weight carried by every Syrian who refused to break. It had to strike a hard balance: no empty optimism, no sugar-coating, but also no surrender to despair. A song... show more

🚨🔥RISING FROM THE ASHES My journey has never been an easy one. I remember the night my factory burnt down to ashes. Everything I had worked so hard to build was suddenly engulfed in flames. As if that wasn’t enough, the insurance company refused to pay out. That night tested me in ways I never imagined. But I refused to let the fire define me. I chose to rise from the ashes, rebuild what was lost, and keep moving forward. Sometimes, life burns everything you built; not to destroy you, but to reveal what you are truly capable of rebuilding. This is more than a story of entrepreneurship. It is a story of resilience, determination, setbacks and triumph; a story of how resilience conquered all. 🎥 Watch Black Like You is Officially Premiered on YouTube. Watch it Now: #BlackLikeYou

Jalen Brunson says he mentally moved on from winning the NBA championship while New York was still celebrating “No one tells you… Everyone talks about the emotion of winning it right when it happens. Literally as the buzzer goes off, the rest of the evening, the celebrations in the locker room, everything.” “But no one tells you how long people could really celebrate for. The entire city, I feel like, has been celebrating since that day. Another thing people don’t tell you is that you have to find your own way to flip the switch and figure out what’s next. No one told you the time and day when to turn the switch and start focusing on the next one.” “I’ve been there for a while. When I had surgery is when it clicked for me. It clicked for me that it was time to move on. When you are still trying to accomplish more, the quicker you can move on from an accomplishment, something you worked so hard for, is the quicker you can continue to get better and not be satisfied.” “I’ve wanted to be a champion for a long time. But I didn’t want to let it define me and who I was. This is everything I worked for, but I feel like I’m still working on a lot.”

“At the beginning, when I described these 31 years as a tough but meaningful journey, I meant that the difficult part was something we confronted head-on. It was so immense that anyone who wasn’t fully committed would have collapsed under its weight. Fortunately, we had many people who were up to the task - ready and willing to give everything, because it meant everything to them. And when something means everything to you, you give your all to ensure it is in good hands. That part was tough - without question, and there’s no overstating it. But even in that difficulty, there was something fulfilling: understanding the story itself - where we came from, where we are going - and realizing that you are part of it. Being among those entrusted to face such a challenge, to walk such a difficult path, brings a deep sense of pride and inspiration. It is truly something worth being part of.” President Kagame | #Kwibohora31

🐨:Body To Body was originally called Body On Body and it was very sexual. Sort of "I need some body on body", I think you get the idea. It was a sexual song and we could do a sexual song, why not, we're 30yrs old. But we also didn't want to do a song that was sexual for no reason. So we thought of Hand To Hand, the song by Koreana from 1988 Olympics, and we changed it to Body To Body. We wanted an anthem like that. Translation cr: @/ryuminating

Mark: It's been on my mind, and I just felt like I had to get this off my chest. And so I just felt like I had to turn this live on and to really just tell you guys how I felt regarding the T-shirt with the Confederate flag on it. I am aware of the pain that it brought to a lot of people, and especially to my black fans, to the black community. And I know that I should have. I am very responsible for it. But I really wanted to directly tell you guys that it really wasn't my intention, with me knowing the meaning of the flag, the historical significance of it. It really shouldn't have happened, and it really does not reflect who I am as a person. But seeing so many fans being hurt by it, it really hurt me as well. I had no intention knowing the meaning of the flag, and I should have. There are no excuses to that. But I just wanted to promise you guys directly that something like that will never happen again. With me and my whole team, we have made, we have taken steps to make sure that something like that doesn't happen. But I just, and I know that a lot of people have been waiting for me to kind of address this directly. And I've been sitting on this for a while, and I really wanted to get this off my chest. And so I thought today was the right time for me to tell you guys. It really breaks my heart to think that maybe the trust has been broken. But I promise you that I'll make it up to you guys, just with my actions and with my music. I'll make sure to make it up to you guys if you will allow me to have one more chance. I'll try my best in that. And so once again, I truly would like to apologize for the pain that that picture has brought to a lot of people. And I promise to educate myself more on that matter as well. When I first heard about it actually, I read about it. I was shocked, and we and our entire team made sure that it wasn't on any official content, but the picture got leaked, and we instantly uploaded an apology as well. But now I really felt like I had to personally take action for this. And so once again, I'd like to apologize for bringing so much pain to a lot of people. It really doesn't. It had no intention, no personal intention. So yeah. And thank you for taking the time to wait for me to really address this. I know a lot of fans have also been believing in me. But yeah, thank you for waiting till this moment.

“The Best Is Yet To Come” with the delightful Scarlett Johansson! Scarlett and I have known each other for a while, but it wasn’t until working together on ‘Asteroid City’ that the idea for this song came to be. Give it a listen for all good things to come. 🎤🎶🎹 #stillblooming

FUTURE EXPLODES: “Beyoncé stole Drunk in Love from me… then won a Grammy with it and never said a word” Future drops a bombshell in a raw Instagram interview… “Drunk in Love was mine first. I wrote it. I recorded the demo. The whole vibe, the melody, the energy… that was my song. They asked me to play it for Beyoncé so she could maybe hop on it as a feature. I was young, hungry, not the big name yet. I thought we were talking collaboration. Next thing I know, the song is on her album. No feature for me. No credit the way it should’ve been. Just… gone. And that same song goes on to win her a Grammy. She never said a word. No thank you. No acknowledgment. Nothing. I sat with that for years. Watched it become one of her biggest records while I was still grinding, still trying to get people to take me serious. It hurt. Still does. Because that wasn’t just a song… that was a piece of me they took when I didn’t have the power to stop it.” The comments are already on fire.

Jalen Brunson says leaving roughly $113 million on the table was absolutely worth it for a chance to win a title. Malika Andrews : “You left around $113 million on the table by not signing with the Knicks. Was it worth it?” Jalen Brunson : “For a championship? 100% worth it.” “Without a doubt.” “Even if we hadn’t won it all, I still think it would’ve been worth it.” “Just having the opportunity to go on that journey, grind every day, and chase something bigger.” “But winning the championship?” “That’s the cherry on top.”

“I called Jack Antonoff who is one of my best friends, I know that he is not only as big a Randy Newman fan as I am but also a ‘Toy Story’ kid and we talk about ‘Toy Story’ all the time and how that really shaped our childhood […] I called him up and I just really quickly blurted out like, 'I got to see the new Toy Story, I have to tell you all about the film, but we need to write this song. We need to write this song. It was such a frenetic form of excitement that I just blathered out, like, 'We have to write this song.'” — Taylor Swift on working with Jack Antonoff for “I Knew It, I Knew You” 🥹

SUNOO😭 🦊Recently, I've been wanting to do a concert moreee and you know why? Honestly I'm an idol and a person who stands and performs on a stage . But when I went to that concert recently, I realized that the fans watching from the audience are so pretty. I also saw it from the audience's perspective this time, and it was so pretty, but it's definitely different from seeing it from the stage. Seeing it from the stage is like... it's like a movie. It's that kind of feeling. I'm like the main character. But then I saw it from the audience's perspective and it was another touching and... something... different feeling. That's why I think the fans' high energy and how we harmonize together is really important and I like it. I really felt that

My mother’s influence on my career is so vast that I write a song for her in all my albums. This one is the most painful I’ve ever had to write - and it gave birth to the MOYA Project . It is as graceful as she was. Enjoy this offering that comes from a wounded heart. #MOYA2023

Damon singing This is a Low at Maison Rouge Studios, London, 1994. “We’d recorded the music, but the lyrics had been pushed to one side. I kept nagging Damon to finish it but he wasn’t sure. Eventually, his inspiration came from a piece of wrapping paper on a present Alex James had given him. It had all the shipping regions on it with fantastic names like Cromarty, Fisher, Dogger and Lundy. The song was down to a bit of wrapping paper and gentle persuasion from me,” Street said before adding, “It was the perfect final track for the album.” - Stephen Street, Q Magazine

Woman who has been working with Section 8 for 12 years talks about what the program has turned into “It's got some problems. Section 8 was supposed to be a helping hand. It was not supposed to be forever, and it has turned into forever “Section 8. Trump's talking about really reducing the program, and I happen to know a lot about it. I've been working with Section 8 and renting to Section 8 participants for, gosh, almost 12 years now. — I remember when I first started renting and working with Section 8, there was a mom and daughter. This is when we had to go meet them at the office to turn in the packet, and the mom was so proud that her daughter, she was able to, like, get her daughter onto the program and like, pass it down from generation to generation because they knew at that point they were, their rent was going to be covered for the rest of their lives. And we're not talking about people who are disabled and like, physically disabled and can't work. They may have been given a lot in life where they haven't really, like, developed skills or been able to, like, compete within the workforce. But where's the motivation? If you know that your rent's going to get paid, you can get on SNAP benefits, you can get free health care. We've created this society that knows that the government will take care of them and that there's no motivation for them to change their path and to take care of themselves. I mean, in the 12 years I've been doing it, I had 2 tenants work their way off of Section 8. That's it. I'm on average have about 80 to 90 Section 8 leases from year to year. So those aren't really great odds. So I think it would be good for the program to be revamped in some way, shape or form where it rewards those that work rather than it feeling like a punishment”

We've created this society that knows that the government will take care of them and that there's no motivation for them to change their path and to take care of themselves. I mean, in the 12 years I've been doing it, I had 2 tenants work their way off of Section 8. That's it. I'm on average have about 80 to 90 Section 8 leases from year to year. So those aren't really great odds. So I think it would be good for the program to be revamped in some way, shape or form where it rewards those that work rather than it feeling like a punishment”

Did you know that the Clock Tower in Makkah is actually a waqf? Meaning the revenue generated from the hotels and properties goes back to serving Masjid al-Haram and the millions of pilgrims who come to Makkah every year. This is something a lot of people may not know. The purpose behind this project wasn’t just to build hotels and make money. It was established as a waqf so that the revenue continues to benefit the Haram 🕋 and the Muslims for generations to come. May Allah have mercy on the leaders who established it and reward them for the good that continues from it.

Will Ospreay has revealed part of the reason behind why Baba O'Riley was chosen for his AEW All In 2026 entrance was because the song was used for an MV Zone tribute video to Bryan Danielson in 2011. "There was a song that we wanted, but we just couldn’t get a licence fee for it. I won’t put it out there because maybe one of these days I will be able to track it down again. I’d like to leave that as a surprise. But it was Mike Mansury that came up with the idea of The Who Baba O’Riley. "I’ll be honest with you, I have a connection with that song because there was a music video from the MV Zone. It was like a kind of little backyard wrestling music video group, and they did a Bryan Danielson tribute to that song, so I have a little bit of a connection to it. "I was just okay, I quite like the idea and The Who is British as well, so that’s kind of cool. But I remember listening to it and on the travels that me and Al (Alex Windsor) did, and I was just like, I don’t know if I feel it. The other song that I wanted got my juices flowing. It was my favourite song. I don’t know if I feel it. It was only when I heard the voiceover and I saw the clips that were all around it. I was like, 'this is perfect. This is it. Don’t change a thing.'" (Source: Chris Van Vliet)
