Destiny’s Child Reportedly Reuniting At Coachella Tonight

Indio, CA – Destiny’s Child is reportedly reuniting at Coachella Valley Music Arts Festival in Indio, California on Saturday night (April 14).

According to Page Six, an inside source said, “Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child are reuniting. It was teased, rumored, squashed, so nothing much else was said … But it’s happening.”

The source also added, “[It’s] to make up for the fact she was unable to perform last year [when pregnant]. The girls really wanted it and felt they owed it to the fans.”

Destiny’s Child — Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland — formally disbanded in 2006 after they wrapped up the Destiny Fulfilled… and Lovin’ It Tour.

Formed in 1997, the RB trio released five albums, culminating with 2004’s Destiny Fulfilled. 

The group’s third album, 2001’s Survivor, spawned the massive singles”Independent Women,” Survivor” and “Bootylicious.”

In 2013, Destiny’s Child reunited for Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Coachella’s organizers have confirmed fans are able to livestream Beyoncé’s headlining performance on YouTube. The Lemonade singer hits the stage at 11:10 p.m. PST on Channel 1 of the YouTube streams.

Nicki Minaj Forgives Quavo For "MotorSport" Fallout

Indio, CA – Nicki Minaj has been a heavy topic of conversation this week after she reemerged with not only two new singles — “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li” — but also an interview with Beats 1 Radio. During the conversation, the Queens super rapper admitted she was hurt over the “MotorSport” track she did with Migos and Cardi B.

Evidently that’s all water under the bridge.

On Friday night (April 13), Minaj tweeted, “He apologized. Y’all can stop torturing him now. The Generous Queen FORGIVES. When he told me what y’all were doing in them comments I fell TF out. Love you guys tho. For LIFE.”

Minaj explained to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that she felt “ambushed” by Quavo.

“With ‘Motorsport’ I kind of felt ambushed,” she explained. “Quavo was my baby. I loved Quavo. At the time, I went on Twitter and I explained how ‘Motorsport’ came about and people were saying that I was lying. So I texted Quavo and I said, ‘Can you back me up on this? Cause I don’t want people to think I’m lying’ and he didn’t back me up. He texted me back like ‘I would go on Twitter and back you up if you were my girl lol’ and that hurt because I love him. And there are certain rappers that I call my baby — Quavo, Uzi, Swae Lee — and so Quavo told me ‘I’m not gonna go on Twitter and address that shit. If I do an interview then I’ll address it.’

“I was like ‘yikes’ because it hurt my feelings because I can be slaughtered and not one person will step in to say the truth. They will run with that lie because it’s entertaining. To make Nicki seem like a bad guy.”

But on Saturday morning (April 14), Minaj doubled down and shared a video to Twitter of her hanging out with Quavo at the Coachalla Valley Music Arts Festival in Indio, California. They were joined by Kylie Jenner, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Chance The Rapper and Kourtney Kardashian, among others. 

@shaniatwain is so dope in real life. @theweeknd @frenchmontana @nav @belly @dude_br0

Meek Mill Hopes His Incarceration Will "Open Up Eyes"

The story of Meek Mill’s incarceration is continuing to make news outside the realms of Hip Hop.

On Thursday (April 12), a segment on Meek aired on NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt. As part of the feature, both the rapper and the Philadelphia District Attorney were interviewed.

While speaking with Holt, Meek revealed that he always suspected that a decade’s worth of probation would eventually land him back behind bars.

“It was always a thought in the back of my head that 10 years probation would bring me back to prison,” he said.

Recent developments in the case have given Meek’s team hope for a potential early release, including the information that Meek’s arresting officer was flagged on a list of allegedly corrupt cops.

“We now have information that was not available to the judge at the beginning … indicating that there are questions about the integrity of the conviction. And those questions are substantial,” District Attorney Larry Krasner said.

Krasner added that he’s aware that “African Americans are ending up with worse sentences over and over than white people.”

Later in the interview, Meek made it clear that he’s not here for pity and instead wants to open up the world’s eyes to the plight of other young black men.

“I think God delivered me a job to helping people,” Meek said. “Helping minorities that come from these situations like myself. I say don’t show me no pity because this is my life. This is what I’ve been going through. And I think God put me in this position to be able to do a show with Lester Holt and open up eyes for other young black men.”

Meek Mill will appear back in court on Monday (April 16) for a hearing.
