00:00 Madonna's insane crowd, Dua's pop-up performance, and Usher's surprise.
00:05 We're still talking Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
00:08 We run down the Billboard Hot 100.
00:10 And take you to Washington, D.C. for an EDM festival.
00:14 Happy Cinco de Ses.
00:19 Our first story is the story that keeps on giving.
00:22 If you can keep up, let's dive in.
00:24 The Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud is still going strong
00:28 with a weekend full of new diss tracks to run through, we've got you covered.
00:32 Over the weekend, Kendrick and Drake's beef continued
00:34 with Kendrick releasing a one-two punch.
00:37 On "Meet the Grams" he attacks Drake, alleging he's gotten cosmetic surgery.
00:47 And on "Not Like Us" he says this about Drake.
00:56 I hear you like I'm young. You better not ever go to cell block one.
00:59 Certified lover boy, certified pedophile.
01:02 Then Drake fired back on "The Heart" part six.
01:05 If I was fucking young girls, I promise I'd have been arrested.
01:08 I'm way too famous for the shit you just suggested.
01:11 Responding to Kendrick's previous track where he claimed he had people working inside Drake's company, OVO,
01:16 Drake says he made up a fake child to see if the rumor would get back to Lamar.
01:21 We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information.
01:24 I'm sure you'll be smarter than 11 years old. I bet he takes it.
01:27 That brings us to a total of nine diss tracks in a little over a month.
01:31 I'm sure this is far from over, so stay locked into Billboard for the latest.
01:36 And the guys are giving us beef while the ladies are giving us life.
01:40 Plus an update from Usher. Here are three things to know in music news.
01:45 Madonna closed out her Celebration World Tour in Brazil, playing a free show in Rio de Janeiro.
01:51 More than 1.6 million fans flocked to Copacabana Beach, making it the most attended concert of all time.
02:04 I saw the Celebration Tour twice and let me tell you, it deserved that kind of audience.
02:09 Also giving out a free show less than 24 hours after hosting and performing on SNL,
02:15 Dua Lipa brought a little radical optimism to Times Square.
02:19 I never thought that I'd lose. It's so nice to be free.
02:25 She performed four songs off her new album. I don't think anything can be shinier than the ball drop other than Dua Lipa.
02:32 Another surprise performance came from Usher over the weekend.
02:36 After having to cancel his Lovers and Friends music festival due to severe winds in Las Vegas,
02:41 Usher gave fans a show at Jewel nightclub at the Aria Hotel.
02:45 We hate to see a music event get cancelled, but we're glad Usher said the show must go on and at least indoors.
02:52 And we have some shakeups on the chart post-Tortured Poets Week. Let's run it down.
02:57 Can Sabrina Carpenter or a new country bop dethrone Taylor Swift's Monster Week?
03:02 This is the Billboard Hot 100 for the week dated May 11th.
03:09 Down bad is down to 10.
03:16 With another Tate track in at nine.
03:23 Like that is number eight.
03:29 Too sweet is back up to seven.
03:37 Teddy Swims is at six.
03:44 Benson is at number five.
03:52 Espresso percolates to a new number four high.
04:00 Shaboosie reaches number three.
04:05 As Million Dollar Baby debuts at number two.
04:12 And for the second week, Fortnite by Taylor Swift featuring Post Malone is at number one.
04:23 And it feels like just yesterday I was in D.C. hanging at one of the coolest EDM festivals.
04:29 Let me take you back with me.
04:36 From seeing Zedd on the main stage and at the after party to hanging backstage with some of the coolest DJs.
04:42 Come with us to Project Glow Festival and Billboard All Access.
04:49 Yo, what up? This is Zach Rays. We're here at Project Glow in D.C.
04:52 Yes, Wax Motif. This is our first time playing back to back together, so it's going to be crazy.
05:02 At crazy and Wax Motif were just a taste of the amazing talent at Project Glow in Washington, D.C.
05:08 The massive dance party had three different stages, including the secret garden that turned into a bona fide club at the end of the night.
05:16 The fest packed in everything you could need. They had tons of activations and photo moments and some of the best food.
05:24 And we got to go to the VIP Echo Deck to enjoy Zedd himself.
05:28 All my ladies, come your best, please. Come on, baby, try me. Please, please, try me.
05:34 And after he shot fireworks into the D.C. sky, we got to head over to the Echo Stage where he hosted an after party.
05:41 And we got to do it all again with bottle service, the most epic laser show, and everybody singing along.
05:53 Tomorrow we have another K-pop group to kick it with, so come back for Ateez and our interview with Ava Max.
06:06 This is Billboard News.
