If you’re a celebrity and you’ve got beef with Justin Bieber, now may be a good time to let it be known. The hits just keep coming.

Seth Rogen called the pop star “a bit of a mother—-er” earlier this week, and the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney called him a “f–king irresponsible asshole” in an interview with Rolling Stone on Friday (May 9).

Carney’s Bieber beef is deep-rooted (kinda). His back-and-forth with the 20-year-old started last February. “He’s rich, right?” the drummer asked, rhetorically, in response to a question about Bieber not winning a Grammy. “Grammys are for like music, not for money … and he’s making a lot of money. He should be happy.”

Bieber wasn’t pleased when he caught wind of the comments, and wrote on Twitter that, “the black keys drummer should be slapped around haha.”

It’s that tweet, written over a year ago, that still has Carney incensed at Bieber.

“Justin Bieber, like a f–king irresponsible asshole, sicced 40 million Twitter followers on me because I paid him a compliment he didn’t understand,” he told the magazine on Friday. “And he shouldn’t be f–king telling his followers to slap me, and then also be doing anti-bullying bullsh–. It’s so irresponsible.

“I mean, Justin Bieber is a f–king moron,” Carney continued. “Honestly, I feel bad for him. I don’t dislike his music. I don’t listen to his music, but he needs to not conduct himself that way. Like, really, you make millions of dollars playing music, you should feel ...

Eminem might not be the first person you’d expect to get sentimental on Mother’s Day, but he’s planning on doing just that.

On Friday (May 9), the Detroit native teased his “Headlights” video, posting an image on Instagram, as well as a short video clip, confirming that it will drop this Sunday. The timing is no coincidence. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 track is an apology from Em to his mother, Debbie Mathers, with whom he had a public feud for much of his career.

“But as stubborn as we are, did I take it too far, ‘Cleaning Out My Closet’/ And all them other songs, but regardless I don’t hate you/ ‘Cause ma, you’re still beautiful to me, ’cause you’re my mom,” he raps at one point. The theme recurrs throughout the song.

That post comes just a month after Em first revealed details about the video, back in April, when he posted a photo of himself and Spike Lee. The Academy Award-nominated Lee directed the video for the track, which also features Nate Ruess of fun.

Need someone to feed the streets? That’s Jeezy, OK?

On Friday (May 9), the Atlanta rapper dropped new solo music for the first time in months, with the release of “Me OK.” The track, produced by Drumma Boy, is a vintage Jeezy record in its’ sound and style. Many of the rhymes find the 36-year-old in his prime trap-rap-slinging form, but he also serves up some words about his current label situation.

“When L.A. Reid was in office made some history up in Def Jam/ If Jizzle ain’t droppin, n—a, what the f–k is Def Jam?/ I know you heard how your boy bossed up at Atlantic/ Boss sh–, might just drop my next album on Atlantic,” he raps in the song’s second verse.

Including his 2005 debut, Jeezy has dropped four albums on Def Jam, which remains his current label home (his most recent was TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition in 2011). But in 2012, he was appointed Senior Vice President of A&R at Atlantic Records.

There’s no word on when we can expect Jeezy’s new album, but this song might be the beginning of that rollout.

Imitiation is nothing new in hip-hop. From rhymes to fashion to production, styles are often innovated by someone before catching on with a larger group. It’s become a natural cycle.

2 Chainz thinks that’s what happened with what’s been termed the “Migos flow,” where rhymes are delivered with a specific pace and cadence.

“Look at my car, how did it get on dem sixes/ This flow come from Drizzy, he got it from Migos, they got it from Three Six,” the Atlanta MC raps on “Trap Back,” off his recently released Freebase EP.

But that line shouldn’t be taken as a slight, according to Chainz; it’s merely an observation. “There’s a certain delivery that they brought to the game that people started snacking on, that was something that derived from a Memphis flow period,” he told MTV News when asked about the lyric.

That explanation apparently wasn’t enough for the guys from Migos, though, who took to Twitter on Wednesday to fire back, which led to a bit of a back-and-forth:

There haven’t been any words exchanged since earlier this morning, so hopefully this disagreement has been squashed.

Tuesday night, while shooting the video for his song “Walk Thru,” Rich Homie Quan suffered two seizures and hit his head. As a result, he was taken to the hospital for treatment.

For the first time since the incident, Quan is speaking out. In a statement on Thursday (May 8), he stressed that it was neither drugs nor lean, but rather exhaustion and heat, that contributed his medical emergency.

“I just want to thank my fans and everyone who has called concerned about me,” the Atlanta rapper said in the statement. “I want to clear up two things, after being in 3 states in 3 days, up early having to shoot my video for ‘Walk Thru’ and even sleeping in between scenes on top of filming in this humid Atlanta heat, I fainted and hit my head. It’s no secret that I do turn up, I don’t deny that but I’m not addicted to anything including drugs nor was I leaning at the shoot. The media is gonna put fake stories out there but I just want to let my fans know that I’m good and recovering. The second thing is, I promised I will never stop going in and I mean that.”

The rapper’s own explanation contradicts a recent report by TMZ — which he seems to subliminally reference — which alleges that the rapper was drinking lean on the day of his seizures.

Quan isn’t the only one saying it was heat and exhausation, rather than drugs, that caused ...

Vic Mensa was excited to be selected for the cover of this year’s XXL Freshman issue, which dropped online earlier this week. So much so, in fact, that the Chicago MC pulled an all-nighter to make it to the mag’s photo shoot.

“I heard the night before they shot it, actually, and then I flew out to New York the next day,” he told MTV News recently, while we visited him on the set of his “Feel That” video. “I was in the studio, making this record called ‘Grand Prix,’ and then I got that call, and then we flew out early in the morning. I didn’t even go to sleep.”

As one of just 12 artists on this year’s cover, the Save Money crew member sounded eager to capitalize on the opportunity. But he was just as enthused — if not more so — that three of his fellow Chicagoans were also selected.

“I’m psyched, ’cause the crib is well represented: It’s four Chicago artists on there, including myself,” he said, referencing Chance the Rapper, Lil Durk and Lil Bibby, as well. “It’s awesome.”

Still, Vic hopes this moment will merely mark an ackowledgement of the music he’s making and the fanbase he’s building.

“It’s a testament to a lot of work, and to what I’m doing,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s not the accolades and labels and awards that make you or break you. It’s what I do in the studio. It’s that elbow grease when I’m cookin’ ...

Last week, the first single from Michael Jackson’s upcoming album was released online. The track, “Love Never Felt So Good,” featured Justin Timberlake. But JT says that he and the King of Pop nearly first collaborated over a decade ago.

“The first real seed of that was this song I had written, called ‘Gone,’ ” the singer told Oprah Winfrey’s OWN. “It ended up on our third and last album [for *NSYNC]. And it was the first song I kind of cut by myself, and then brought it to the guys and included them. We were having an A&R meeting for the third *NSYNC album at that time, and I said, ‘Well, I have this other song, but I originally wrote it for Michael.’ I originally wrote that song for Michael Jackson.”

Unfortunately for Timberlake, Michael’s people turned the song down. Rather than letting it go to waste, he and his groupmates used it themselves.

And then, once it came out, Michael heard it.

“And he called me on the phone and said that he wanted to cut the record, but he wanted it to be a duet between himself and I,” the “Mirrors” singer recalled. “And I said, ‘It’s already out. We’ve already cut this song as an *NSYNC record.’”

Naturally, he felt a bit of regret.

“I’m on the phone, I’m literally punching myself in the face, because I said, ‘I can’t do that. Could we do an *NSYNC featuring Michael Jackson? Or Michael Jackson featuring *NSYNC?’ And he was very absolute ...

For what reason would Lil Jon and DJ Snake turn down when they’ve got a massive hit on their hands? No, there is no reason for which to turn down. And clearly, they don’t plan to anytime soon.

On Wednesday (May 7), the two revamped their collab with a new remix that features verses from Ludacris and Pitbull. This is the second official remix of the song, and follows up Juicy J, 2 Chainz, and French Montana hopping on the track in late April. And don’t forget about Miley’s recent renditions of the single in her Instagram vidoes.

Pit and Luda, both of whom have worked with Lil Jon a number of times throughout their lengthy careers, sound comfortable and cocky on the dance track.

“Ain’t nothin’ in the game that I haven’t seen/ And my favorite color? You guessed it: Money Green,” Pit raps on his verse, which opens the song.

Luda, meanwhile, is ready to party: “Need my dollars in ones and my women in twos,” he spits.

The original peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jamie Foxx has been in six movies since he released his last album in 2010, but he plans to get back in the booth for a new album soon — and has actually already started that process.

“I’m working on some music now,” Foxx told MTV News during a press run for “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” which came out May 2 and stars him as one of the leads. “I just did a song with Pharrell called ‘Tease.’”

The two have worked together a handful of times in the past: they were each featured on Twista’s “When I Get You Home (A.I.O.U.),” and the Neptunes-produced LL Cool J’s “Best Dress” and Diddy’s “Partners For Life,” both of which feature Foxx. Plus, Foxx starred in Pharrell’s “Happy” music video a few months back.

That’s not the only powerhouse producer that he’s worked with of late. “DJ Mustard, we got a [song]: ‘Hashtag, better bring that ass back/ Hashtag, better bring that ass back/ Now twerk it,” the 46-year-old revealed, singing the song, rather than describing it.

What else might fans expect from his new music?

Foxx didn’t specifically say that he and Drake have worked on material for the project, nor that they plan to. But there’s certainly a chance that the two follow up “Fall For Your Type,” their collaborative hit from Foxx’s 2010 album Best Night of My Life, based on the praise the actor/singer had for Drizzy.

“Drake is my little brother, man,” he told MTV ...

Based on “Mt. Olympus,” Big K.R.I.T. clearly feels like he doesn’t get the respect or recognition he deserves, and he’s hellbent on changing that.

The visuals for the song dropped on Wednesday (May 7), just over a week after the audio hit the Net. Like the track itself, the video is all about Krizzle and his skills on the mic (and the boards, considering he produced the track, too).

Throughout the video, the Mississippi MC stands in front of either a black or white backdrop, spewing his fiery rhymes to the camera with passion and intent, with minimalist effects used to add to, rather than distract from, his lyrics.

Big K.R.I.T. is currently working on his sophomore album, Cadillactica.
