Justin Bieber And J Balvin Provide Hearty Verses To Remix 24kGoldn’s Chart-Topping ‘Mood’ Single

Looking to ensure the former No. 1 track stays in the upper echelon of the charts, 24kGoldn brings an additional pop and Latin flavor to it. …

Justin Bieber is currently in the process of ushering in a “new era” in his extremely successful career. Months after making his return with his Changes, the pop singer hinted at this new era with some help from his longtime manager Scooter Braun. It began with the release of his triumphant “Holy” single with Chance The Rapper and continued with the somber “Lonely” release from October. Taking a quick moment to entertain other things, Justin Bieber lends his voice for a hearty remix of 24kGoldn and Iann Dior’s “Mood” remix, one that also features J Balvin.

The remix arrives just a couple of weeks after 24kGoldn and Iann Dior saw “Mood” take the No. 1 spot on the singles chart, becoming the first chart-topping effort of their young careers. After receiving word of the achievement, 24kGoldn took to social media to celebrate, saying “ain’t no higher than this. thank you to everyone who ever listened, this is just the start,” on Twitter. In an Instagram video, the rapper would also say, “I’m only 19 years old, I’m not even 20 years old and we’re on top of the world, No. 1 on the Billboard charts. I did not think this sh*t was gonna happen this fast, if I’m being 100 percent honest with y’all. But I’m grateful as f*ck. I knew we could do it, and it was just a matter of time, yo.”

Bieber recently brought his talents to Saturday Night Live to perform his “Holy” and “Lonely” singles while J Balvin recently revealed new partnerships with McDonald’s and Fortnite. While the Latin star had some more highlight moments this year that included a performance at the MTV VMAs and teh announcement of an upcoming documentary with Amazon, the singer unfortunately also came down with a “bad” case of coronavirus, one that pushed him to remind fans that the “virus is real and it’s dangerous.”

Check out the “Mood” remix in the video above.

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
