Det här är berättelsen om en vilsen kreatör som spolade rappen för countryn och gjorde det så bra att han lyckades snuva Beyoncé på en listetta. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Kamerablixtarna smattrar. Mattan som rullats ut är inte röd, utan blå och på den myllrar kända skådespelare och artister. Fotograferna ropar desperat efter dem, för att få den bästa bilden. Det är BET Awards 2024, en prisgala som hyllar svarta och minoriteter inom underhållningsbranschen. Nöjessajten Baller Alert har precis fått fatt i ett av årets största stjärnskott, Collins Obinna Chibueze, eller Shaboozey som han kallar sig. Han slår sig ner i en vit luddig stol bredvid en journalist, för en liveintervju.Collins långa wicks är blonderade i topparna och hänger ner över den glittriga skjortan. Han spanar in i kameran genom sina tonade solglasögon.– We read that originally you wanted to be a novelist. How did you segue into music and then country music at that?– I just wanted to tell stories, honestly, säger Shaboozey.Collins ger ett ödmjukt intryck. Kanske har han inte riktigt hunnit i fatt sitt eget kändisskap än. Förra året visste ingen vem han var. Nu är han en av de mest spelade countryartisterna. Journalisten vill veta hur han hamnade här. – Both of your parents are Nigerian. Yes, which is not typical for a Nigerian to be in country music How did they take it when you broke the news to them?– Broke the news that I was doing country, that was not really no news breaking.Reportern skrattar lite nervöst. Frågan antydde att Collins har avvikit från sitt ursprung genom att spela country. Men egentligen är det ju tvärtom. Han har tagit sig tillbaka till där allt började.

Episode 147 welcomes Corey into the Jungle, bringing the perspective of a content creator navigating an era where attention is currency and authenticity is constantly being tested. From building an audience to staying relevant in an ever-changing digital landscape, Corey opens up about his journey, the lessons he's learned along the way, and what it really takes to create content that connects with people beyond a quick scroll. The conversation explores the highs, the frustrations, and the reality of trying to build something meaningful in a world obsessed with going viral. The music segment delivers a little bit of everything. Lil Tjay's "They Just Ain't You" sparks discussion about heartbreak, moving on, and whether some people truly leave a lasting imprint on your life. Zeddy Will's "Party At The Beach" shifts the energy toward feel-good vibes and reminds the room that sometimes music is meant to be enjoyed without overthinking it. Giveon's BELOVED: Act 2 brings emotion back to the forefront, leading into a conversation about vulnerability, storytelling, and why some artists can make heartbreak feel universal. Toosii's "Proud of Me" resonates with themes of growth and validation, while the collaboration between Chris Brown and Leon Thomas gets everyone talking about vocal chemistry, artistry, and the evolution of modern R&B. The culture segment doesn't disappoint. Ice Spice once again finds herself dominating timelines, proving that the internet never stays focused on one thing for too long. Druski making history as one of the youngest hosts of the BET Awards sparks conversation about comedy, influence, and how creators are becoming major players in entertainment. And with the Knicks playing some of their best basketball in years, the room naturally turns into a mix of celebration, skepticism, and passionate sports debate about whether this run is finally the one fans have been waiting for. As always, the deepest conversations come when relationships hit the table. The squad debates whether you're obligated to take your partner's side during conflicts with family and friends, even when they're clearly in the wrong. Then comes a conversation about intimacy and initiative: should the person with the higher sex drive be expected to make the first move more often, or should pursuit stay balanced regardless of desire? Social media enters the discussion as the crew breaks down whether it's a problem when your partner starts following your friends back online, and whether harmless interactions can sometimes create unnecessary tension. Finally, the episode closes with a modern dating question that almost everyone can relate to: in today's world, are people more likely to find meaningful connections through social media, or does meeting someone face-to-face still hold an advantage that the internet can't replicate? Episode 147 is funny, insightful, and packed with the kind of conversations that blur the line between entertainment and real life. From content creation and music to sports and relationships, this is another reminder that nothing stays off-limits once you step into the Jungle.

We're covering a lot of ground this week. On the entertainment side, we're breaking down Chris Brown's new song and visual, reacting to Drake's Iceman album, and talking about Druski getting the BET Awards hosting gig. We'll also weigh in on the heavier music headlines — the underage allegations swirling around Boston Richey and the latest developments in the D4VD case — and what they say about accountability in the industry right now. In business and news, we're digging into the Spirit Airlines shutdown and what it signals for the broader travel industry. Then we're shifting into the conversation everyone's having privately but nobody's solving: the new wave of layoffs, hiring freezes, and the quiet firing trend (pulling from a great article we'll reference on the show), plus a real talk segment on hustle culture and whether the grind is actually getting us anywhere. We're closing with two cultural debates. First: why is media — especially social media — so obsessed with women and breakups, and what's driving that engagement machine? And finally, a sports question worth chewing on: are NBA players actually known outside the U.S., or is the league's global reach more hype than reality?

fWotD Episode 3275: Beyoncé Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 23 April 2026, is Beyoncé.Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter ( bee-ON-say; born September 4, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. Known for her vocal ability, artistic reinventions, and live performances, she is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant figures of the 21st century. Credited with shaping popular music, Beyoncé is often deemed one of the greatest entertainers of all time.Beyoncé rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny's Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003), became one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century. After Destiny's Child disbanded in 2005, Beyoncé released the funk-imbued B'Day (2006) and starred in the drama film Dreamgirls (2006). Her marriage to rapper Jay-Z and portrayal of Etta James in the biopic Cadillac Records (2008) influenced her pop-oriented double album I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). Through the 2000s, Beyoncé garnered the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Crazy in Love", "Baby Boy", "Check on It", "Irreplaceable", and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".After forming the management company Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé embraced traditional R&B and soul on 4 (2011). The electronic-influenced Beyoncé (2013) popularized surprise and visual albums, inspiring the setting of Friday as Global Release Day, while the eclectic Lemonade (2016) sparked sociopolitical discourse and was the best-selling album of 2016. Her ongoing trilogy project—consisting of the queer-inspired dance album Renaissance (2022) and the Americana-rooted country record Cowboy Carter (2024)—has highlighted the overlooked contributions of Black pioneers to American musical and cultural history, spawning the respective US number-one singles "Break My Soul" and "Texas Hold 'Em".Beyoncé is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 200 million records. She is the most RIAA-certified female artist and the only woman whose first eight studio albums each debuted atop the US Billboard 200. One of the most-awarded artists in popular music, she is the recipient of a record 35 Grammy Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award. Beyoncé is the most-awarded artist of the BET Awards (36), MTV Video Music Awards (30), NAACP Image Awards (32), and Soul Train Music Awards (25). The first woman to headline an all-stadium tour, she is the highest-grossing Black live music artist of all time.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:34 UTC on Thursday, 23 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Beyoncé on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

You are cordially invited to attend a most distinguished yet eminently fake wake in honor of Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova, the undisputed queens of chaos, podcasts, and mirth. We shall convene in a chapel that smells faintly of Red Bull, stale makeup, and air conditioner refrigerant. Guests will enjoy a program of refined absurdities including a dramatic reading of Whitney Houston's 2001 BET Awards acceptance speech, a panel discussion on Taco Bell entitled, "Beans, Cheese, and Consequences," and a ceremonial burning of Katya's old hip. Attendees will encounter a tasteful lounge where retired wigs dispense movie reviews and gallon-jugs of iced coffee. The service will feature a eulogy by a Dunkin' Donuts cashier from Back Bay, culminating in the release of several doves that will immediately relieve themselves on Trixie and Katya's pink and crimson coffins. Formal mourning attire is required, though guests are strongly encouraged to incorporate elements of high camp, delusion, and inappropriate accessories that suggest you are in dire need of therapy.

Interview Date: July 14th, 2025Episode Summary:Eden Shabtai shares how a kid from a tiny Israeli kibbutz—obsessed with MTV and training in ballet and modern—willed her way into New York's scene and eventually L.A.'s major stages. She opens up about the unglamorous decade of artist development, underpaid gigs, and nonstop outreach that built the foundation for her “overnight” break assisting on Chris Brown's Loyal, leading to major award shows and TV. A six-month backpacking trip through India reshaped her idea of success, while the O-1 visa process taught ruthless persistence. Eden also speaks candidly about receiving an aggressive breast-cancer diagnosis while five months pregnant, undergoing chemo with cold-cap treatments, and protecting her peace by avoiding toxic workrooms.Creatively, Eden explains why she builds choreography live in the studio—feeding off dancers and music—and why energy, individuality, and attitude matter more than stacked résumés. Listeners will gain insight into using social media strategically, differences between NYC training and L.A. work volume, how to stand out in auditions (presence, styling, quick adjustments), and the mindset that sustains a career: humility, resilience, and community.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome and guest introduction(8:20) – Early roots: ballet, modern, MTV influence(13:53) – India trip reframes success and happiness(15:24) – Visa grind: persistence, evidence, good lawyer(18:53) – Moving to L.A.: training vs. booking realities(21:08) – Breakthrough: assisting on “Loyal”(26:44) – Favorite projects: BET 2014, Fleur East(29:31) – Cancer while pregnant: resilience and boundaries(42:05) – Creative process: energy-first choreography(51:19) – What makes dancers stand outBiography:Originally from a kibbutz in northern Israel, Eden began training in ballet and modern at age 7. With no formal hip-hop classes available at the time, she learned by watching MTV. Determined to pursue dance professionally, she left home at 16 to study at a specialized dance school. After serving in the IDF, she spent six transformative months traveling India before moving to New York City to chase her dream.In NYC, Eden trained at Broadway Dance Center and quickly became a sought-after teacher for over 150 young students while choreographing for up-and-coming artists. Realizing her long-term goals required a move west, she relocated to Los Angeles in 2010.Since then, Eden has worked across NBC, ABC, BET, FOX, CBS, VH1, CW, and MTV. Her credits include the VMAs, Grammys, Billboard Awards, Dancing with the Stars, iHeart Radio Awards, BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, X Factor, The Ellen Show, James Corden, American Idol, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and more.
