Anyone that’s followed 2 Chainz knows that he’s riding around and he’s getting it, and it’s his, so he spends it. But would he spend it on the most expensive burger in the world?

Tit took a trip with GQ to taste a $295 burger and find out. Made by chef Joe Calderone and served at New York City’s Serendipity 3, Le Burger Extravagant looks to be exactly what it’s billed to be.

There’s special Japanese beef, cheese that’s aged in a cave and wildly expensive caviar. Oh, and also 24 karat gold shavings on top of the bun.

And the Chainz verdict? “This burger was more than just food; it was an experience for me,” he said. “I’m gonna have to challenge my chef to order some things from a cave.”

According to Calderone, all the profits from the sales of the burger — which has to be ordered a day in advance so ingredients can be flown in to the restaurant — go to the Bowery Mission, which offers food and shelter to the city’s homeless.

If you liked watching 2 Chainz eat an expensive burger, then you can also watch him test $30,000 headphones and a $2 million car.

Most of us — save astronauts — will never see the other side of the moon, the so-called “dark side,” as Pink Floyd has dubbed it. It’s an elusive place — one full of mystery and untold beauties.

Well, today, friends, we’re all astronauts — face astronauts… Ariana astronauts — as we’re now finally privy to a side of Ariana Grande previously unseen: the right side of her face.

Rejoice! For the “Problem” singer has bestowed upon us that most mysterious and awe-inspiring of gifts: a selfie depicting her other cheek.

There have been many rumors lately — ones Ariana has all but shut down with grace and aplomb — that the powerhouse singer prefers being photographed only from the left.

Well, we’re hear to tell you, Ariana, after seeing the fabled “other side” via selfie: If you are, indeed, feeling any trepidation… Let it shine lady! Let the glowing apple orb of your cheek into the sunshine and light! Toss your epic pony over your opposite shoulder and, to use your words, “Break Free”, because you — both sides of you — are equally beautiful.

We’ll love you either way — it doesn’t matter if you’re left or right.

Drake and Murda Mook were at a club last month, when some friendly drinks turned into a challenge.

“It came out of nowhere,” Mook told MTV News on the BET Hip Hop Awards red green carpet. “A couple drinks start floating around, and then he just came out of nowhere and said he would battle me.”

It started off as some apparent tough talk from the Toronto MC: “‘Yo, if I did a battle,’” Mook said, recalling Drake’s words, “‘it’d probably be the biggest battle in history.’ That was his exact words.”

“I said, You serious?”

As it turns out, Drizzy very well might have been.

The guys quickly snapped a picture and shared it online, creating excitement and hype around the potential showdown. The two spoke a few days later, and Drake was “still kind of singing the same song.”

So, what would happen if this “biggest battle in history” goes down?

“He can rap really well,” Mook admitted. “I’m not saying he would win. [He'd have to practice] a lifetime, maybe. I don’t think there’s nobody in this world that can beat me.”

And Drake probably feels the same way. Hopefully they settle this standoff on the mic.

Over the weekend, Kanye West, Common and Lupe Fiasco performed at Chicago’s AAHH! Fest, and though he didn’t hit the stage, one of the Chi’s most buzzed-about up-and-comers, Chance the Rapper, made his presence felt.

“Yesterday I made a reluctant trip to Chicago to visit a friend,” a user named braindeadDRAMA wrote on Reddit. “Shortly after arriving I saw Chance tweet that he was in Chicago and was going to be giving away tickets to AAHH! Fest.”

“Hours went by and eventually I gave up hope until I was on my way to Target and saw him tweet location which I happened to be only 5 minutes from,” the user continued.

“I went to the address and when I got there it was only me and 2 others. The building was a music store/studio space but none of the workers had any info. After a few minutes of opening doors and sh-t someone said he was on the 5th floor so we raced up the stairs since the elevator wasn’t working.

“On the 5th floor we met his manager Pat who was super nice and had us come back downstairs and outside. After about 10 minutes Chance comes walking up out of nowhere with a stack of tickets and has people get in line. He handed out 50 tickets that he said he had purchased with his own money and was super cool to everyone who came out.”

And just like that, in only a few hours, a ...

Nearly four months after buying Beats Music and Beats Electronics for $3 billion in May, Apple’s plans for the Dr. Dre-co-founded company’s future appear unclear.

News surfaced on Monday (September 22) that Apple was planning to shut down Beats Music, the streaming service launched earlier this year, according to TechCrunch. That report was quickly refuted by Apple, though, whose PR rep, Tom Neumayr, called the claims “not true.”

But now, a new theory has surfaced: that the Beats’ music-streaming service will ultimately be folded into iTunes.

“I’ve always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple,” Beats co-founder Jimmy Iovine said in a press release after the acquisition in May. “The idea when [Dr. Dre and I] started the company was inspired by Apple’s unmatched ability to marry culture and technology. Apple’s deep commitment to music fans, artists, songwriters and the music industry is something special.”

Whatever the case is, Apple sure must be happy they acquired Beats headphones, which haves sales figures in the hundreds of millions.

It’s been a busy few months for Lance Stephenson. First, in May, the 6’5″ guard helped lead the Indiana Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals. Then, in July, he signed a $27 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets. And then on Monday (September 22), he dropped a video for his remix of Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot N—a.”

That sounds like the way a normal NBA player’s summer goes, right?

Well, maybe not exactly, but Lance isn’t your typical NBAer. Plus, he’s from Brooklyn, just like Bobby, so why not take a stab at the hit record?

The audio for the track dropped back in August, and the New York native followed that up with a video where he’s kicking it with his boys, throwing sneakers in the air like it’s Shmurda’s hat, and — in case the Hornets were worried — putting up some jumpers in the gym.

You may remember Lance from when Drake blew in his ear.

After seven years without “Veronica Mars,” fans had plenty of questions. When the Kickstarter-funded movie made its debut in March, many of them were answered — including that whole Piz vs. Logan debate, kind of — but, of course, many lingered at the end of the film.

Since we can’t wait until that sequel is greenlit for all the answers, we’ve rounded up some of our biggest burning questions here. Hopefully creator Rob Thomas will chime in, whether with a secret behind-the-scenes video of the Veronica and Logan spin-off we’re waiting for… or maybe just a scene in the real spin-off, “Play It Again, Dick” on CW Seed.

1. Where in the world is Duncan Kane?

Warner Bros.

Thomas pointed out that it wouldn’t make sense for Duncan Kane to just show up at the reunion after fleeing to Mexico with his kidnapped baby in Season 2, but he wasn’t even mentioned in the “Veronica Mars” movie. Since Clarence Wiedman killed Aaron Echolls under Duncan’s orders, he probably knows where Duncan is, right? Has no one used new technology to track him down? Seems unlikely.

2. And what about Jake Kane? Is Veronica done with him, too?

Warner Bros.

In Season 3, Veronica discovered that Jake headed up a secret society full of some of the most powerful men in Neptune and sent Hearst College boys to release her sex tape. When ...

Tonight (September 22), FOX premieres “Gotham,” a look at DC Comics’ fabled city in a time before The Dark Knight took to the skies. But even with the prequel nature of the show, Batman looms large over everything… including the red carpet.

So naturally, when MTV News hit up the show’s big premiere event in New York, we asked the cast of “Gotham” – including young Bruce Wayne himself (David Mazouz) – to tell us why we should watch their show. The only catch? Sell the show using their best Christian Bale as Batman voice.

Hilarity, as they say, ensued (and for the record, we think Erin Richards, who plays Barbara Kean on the show, won the bat-off).

“Gotham” premieres tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
