Juicy J Puts Arby’s On Watch
It’s becoming abundantly clear that Juicy J is not one to play games when it comes to his hustle. Not only did the Three 6 Mafia legend file a gargantuan lawsuit against the $UICIDEBOY$, with whom he worked on his impressive SHUTDAFUKUP mixtape, but now he’s seemingly caught another offender in his radar. This time, it’s none other than the fast-food chain Arbys, who seemingly thought to use unclear Three 6 Mafia music in one of their commercials.

In a series of since-deleted tweets, J opted to put the chain on watch with a stern warning. “Good morning!” he writes. “I just found out Arbys used a three 6 sample in a commercial with out clearing it hmmmmmmmmm. Some people don’t understand my hustle when y’all sleep I’m up getting a bag mane no cappucino.” Clearly, he’s not one to play when it comes to unclear samples, and in all fairness, why wouldn’t he want a piece of the pie — especially when he’s responsible for bringing a key ingredient?
To be fair, J deleted the tweets following a message from his lawyer, and though it would appear he’s willing to resolve the situation, he did make it abundantly clear that no further nonsense will be tolerated. “My lawyer called said take down the tweet Arby’s will figure it out,” he writes, speaking volumes with a cheeky “money bag” emoji. Check out the tweets below, and sound off — do you think Juicy J is one of the game’s wisest hustlers?

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”
Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.
“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.
The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
