An XXXTentacion Hologram Tour May Happen

XXXTentacion had some of the most energetic shows out of anybody in the rap game. His crowds were raucous, generally involving more than a few moshpits and appearances from his friends in Members Only. The artist knew how to command your attention, getting you hyped up and screaming at the top of your lungs.

This weekend, his mother, Cleopatra Bernard, conducted a question-and-answer session on Discord, which brought all kinds of new information to his fans. For starters, there are several high-profile collaborations in the works, including with Juice WRLD (which may not ever be released, according to Ally Lotti), The Weeknd, and Lil Uzi Vert. Cleo also said that she was working on getting all of X’s old SoundCloud songs uploaded to streaming services.

One of the more eyebrow-raising reveals was the fact that XXXTentacion’s estate is considering a tour, or at least one performance, with a hologram version of the late rapper.

A fan in Nigeria asked if there would be any concerts planned in the country, seemingly not realizing that the artist was deceased. Cleo responded and said: “Well he’s not here but how would you guys feel about recreating at least part of his energy with a hologram?”

Some of X’s fans are saying that this is “too far”, accusing Cleo of using her son as a “cash grab”. Others are arguing that this is actually a good idea and, because it’s been done by Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, and others, it could actually work.

What do you think of a possible XXXTentacion hologram tour? Would you buy a ticket?

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”

Ronan Furlong

“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.

The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.

“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
