Kendrick said he was excited to be back in his hometown. “We’ve traveled all over the world, and back. We were on the East Coast for a while, then we went to the South, but I couldn’t wait to come back home. You hear me?” Kendrick and SZA sang separate sets as well as duets like “30 for 30,” “All the Stars,” and others. Kendrick began the show on stage with his black 1987 Buick GNX as he performed his “wacced-out murals.” He performed “family ties,” dropped a new line, and got the crowd up and dancing during “TV Off” as well as “Not Like Us.” SZA surprised Lizzo with a performance of “Special”. SZA floated like a butterfly, singing “Nobody Gets Me.” Both artists ended their show with “Luther,” and “Gloria.” Tonight, they will perform their second Los Angeles concert at SoFi Stadium.

Discussions such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – AI-Generated deepfakes by 2025 cemented a need to protect all Americans’ unique characteristics. The NO FAKES Act would give victims of AI deepfakes or voice clones a legal remedy and create a federal property right to their voice and likeness. It would also establish guardrails that protect the First Amendment and provide effective recourse for those who have been victimized by AI deepfakes. Martina shared why the NO FAKES Act represents an important step in protecting her career and family while ensuring honest representation to her fans.Mariah Carey continues to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her iconic album, T
