Travis Scott’s “4X4” has debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his fifth #1 on the chart. It garnered 16.2 million official streams, 2.9 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 167,000 digital and physical singles in the U.S. in the week Jan. 24-30. The song also debuts at #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.

Nelly’s decision to perform at Donald Trump‘s inauguration has lost him a fan in Janelle Monáe. “F*** you Nelly!” she yelled at a Grammys afterparty in the middle of singing a rendition of his song “Hot in Herre.” “I used to like Nelly… but then he went to perform for Donald Trump. F*** that n****. I don’t give a f***. I’m with my family ain’t nobody gonna hate on us. I care about women.”

“Nelly, you sold out. I used to think you was cool,” she later added. ‘Now you look like a motherf****** fool. I might be a little tipsy but I know everything I’m saying. F*** you n****. Get a new attitude.”
