00:00 The Kardashians turned Drake's concert
00:01 into an episode of their hit show.
00:04 Beyoncé brings back three songs
00:06 and a Lizzo shout out on tour.
00:07 The Keke Palmer and Usher saga continues.
00:10 I Take Ciara on a speed date.
00:12 And Pedro Capo stops by our studio.
00:15 It's Tuesday, August 15th.
00:20 I'm Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News.
00:23 As you just heard, we got a lot of show today.
00:25 So let's start with our first story.
00:28 Drake's LA show was practically an episode
00:30 of the Kardashians.
00:31 It had drama, romance, and tons of surprises.
00:35 (crowd shouting)
00:38 - And not be happy!
00:40 - Kim Kardashian recited her sample
00:42 from Search and Rescue in this viral video
00:44 from Drake's concert.
00:46 - I didn't come this far just to come this far
00:48 and not be happy.
00:49 - The quote originally came from the series finale
00:51 of E's Keeping Up with the Kardashians
00:53 when she was talking about ending her marriage
00:55 with Kanye West.
00:57 And her reciting it at the show has fans speculating
00:59 where she stands with Ye and how Drake fits
01:02 into the picture.
01:03 And if you catch the viral moment from another angle,
01:05 you can see she was repeating the sample to Bad Bunny,
01:08 who was in attendance with Kim's sister, Kendall.
01:11 Fans captured and shared tons of videos
01:13 of them packing on the PDA.
01:15 They've been rumored to be dating for six months.
01:17 But that wasn't the only reason Benito was trending online.
01:20 He was in the house to make a special announcement
01:22 with Drake, which had everyone talking.
01:25 - It's been like six years since me and Benito did a song.
01:28 So we got a song coming for y'all on my album
01:31 and it's real as fuck.
01:32 - Lizzo, I love you Lizzo.
01:35 - Okay.
01:36 - Beyonce makes sure you know where she stands with Lizzo
01:39 and adds not one, but three songs back
01:41 to her Renaissance World Tour.
01:43 Let's get into it.
01:45 Back when Beyonce kicked off her Renaissance World Tour
01:47 in Sweden, May 2023, she closed the set with three songs
01:51 and they haven't been heard from since.
01:53 Last night in Atlanta though, fans captured that thick.
01:57 ♪ Yeah, she's gorgeous ♪
02:00 All up in your mind.
02:01 ♪ And right up, always want you ♪
02:03 ♪ I'll be cool before you ♪
02:05 And Drunk In Love all made their return to the set list.
02:09 (crowd cheering)
02:12 And a few weeks back, people thought Beyonce shaded Lizzo
02:20 after skipping her name during the Break My Soul
02:22 Queens remix after Lizzo was sued by dancers.
02:25 But Beyonce also made sure to add a little extra
02:28 and make sure Lizzo felt the love.
02:30 ♪ It's a lot of clothes ♪
02:31 ♪ Not to Lizzo ♪
02:33 ♪ I love you Lizzo ♪
02:35 - Okay.
02:35 - Go Cece, go Cece, go.
02:38 I love me some Ciara.
02:39 And though she's a married and pregnant woman,
02:42 we went on a speed date to get to know more about her.
02:45 I'm speed dating with Ciara.
02:47 Are you ready for this?
02:48 You gotta be fast.
02:48 - Okay, I'm not the best at being fast in these moments,
02:51 but I'm gonna do my best.
02:52 ♪ That's just how we roll ♪
02:54 ♪ What it is, what it is ♪
02:56 - Well, the first one is easy.
02:57 We both know this.
02:58 Where you from?
02:59 - Well, see?
03:00 I was about to go, I'm from, I was gonna say Atlanta,
03:02 'cause it's not Atlanta, as they would say.
03:04 But I'm from Atlanta, but technically Decatur, Georgia,
03:06 and I grew up in Riverdale.
03:08 - And honestly, put the sound up in there of that song.
03:10 I feel like we need the song in there.
03:12 ♪ Decatur, it's not Atlanta ♪
03:13 ♪ No, Gwinnett, it's not Atlanta ♪
03:15 - I'm so Atlanta.
03:16 I'm not gonna say it's not, 'cause I'm so Atlanta.
03:18 - What's your sign?
03:19 - My sign?
03:19 Scorpio.
03:20 - What's your dating pet peeve?
03:21 Like, what's one of those things everybody says,
03:23 red flag this, or fast stop this.
03:24 If you were out with somebody,
03:25 you're like, nope, done, cut it off.
03:27 - Mm-mm.
03:28 How you walking through the door, how you looking?
03:31 You gotta come through with the mm-mm.
03:33 (laughing)
03:34 - The mm-mm.
03:35 - Come through with the ooh.
03:37 I think dating pet peeve, I don't know.
03:39 I mean, I thank the Lord I don't have to think
03:41 about these things now.
03:42 - Hello.
03:43 She's like, I'm blessed, we know you are.
03:45 All right, what was your dream job as a kid?
03:47 I think we know this one. - Dream job as a kid.
03:49 I wanted to be an entertainer when it was all said and done,
03:51 but when I was really young, I wanted to be a lawyer.
03:53 - Oh.
03:54 - I don't even know what that was all about.
03:55 - But I can see you in the suits killing it though.
03:56 - Listen, I low-key have a little lawyer in me right now.
04:00 You know what I'm saying?
04:00 I'm using that little part of me too.
04:02 When I was younger, you would hear like,
04:03 lawyers made a lot of money.
04:05 So that's what it was like.
04:06 I wanted to be a lawyer when I was young.
04:08 Didn't really have like the full context of the job.
04:10 I will be all over the place.
04:11 I will be fired.
04:12 - You're a celebrity obviously,
04:13 but you guys have to have a celeb crush.
04:15 So who's your celeb crush that you like?
04:17 - Right now? - I met him.
04:18 Yes.
04:19 - My celeb crush, that's my honey.
04:20 - I know, I know.
04:21 But before us, who was your celeb crush?
04:23 - Well, when I was younger,
04:25 I used to think that Tupac was dope.
04:27 - Oh, that's a good one.
04:29 - And Michael Jackson is like my inspiration,
04:31 but I thought that Michael Jackson
04:33 was like the most beautiful thing.
04:34 - He was though.
04:36 I honestly agree with you on that one.
04:37 - His smile was just like, wow.
04:39 - Favorite movie?
04:40 - "Godfather."
04:41 - Really?
04:42 - I'm gonna give him an offer, you can't refuse.
04:44 - Okay, listen.
04:45 Well, thank you.
04:46 I'm all about Seattle.
04:47 - From being a fan to a fantasy come true.
04:51 Keke Palmer and Usher are turning their viral drama
04:54 into music and we are here for it.
04:56 (crowd cheering)
04:59 You may remember Keke Palmer and Usher
05:03 getting up close and personal at his Vegas residency.
05:06 Well, her baby daddy, Darius Jackson, wasn't happy.
05:09 And after he openly judged her on social media
05:11 and wiped her from his account,
05:13 it caused a massive debate on the internet
05:15 about what behavior and attire is appropriate.
05:17 Well, now Keke and Usher are making their own statement
05:20 and they're doing it through music.
05:22 ♪ Somebody say that your boyfriend's looking for me ♪
05:26 Dang, Usher, spicy indeed.
05:28 The R&B legend posted, "When fantasies become reality.
05:32 "Boyfriend out tomorrow, August 16th."
05:35 Well, we can't wait.
05:37 (crowd cheering)
05:40 And let's take a trip to Puerto Rico
05:42 with one of our favorite Latin artists, Pedro Capo.
05:45 Our very own Lele Copo grabbed him for a chat.
05:48 Let's check it out.
05:49 - Sonically, I was coming out of the whole Calma thing,
05:51 which was beautiful, amazing.
05:52 Calma happened at such an interesting moment.
05:56 The pandemic came.
05:57 I kind of got lost in my sound for a little bit,
06:00 which is part of our process, I'd say.
06:02 El Laneta was something that I record and produce
06:05 and write in its entirety in my house.
06:08 Very personal.
06:09 - So you wrote it during the pandemic?
06:11 - Yup, it's a pandemic album.
06:12 It's a picture of everything that happened
06:16 in those two years of my life.
06:18 And the best thing that happened was
06:19 it pushing me to build a studio in my house
06:22 and working from there.
06:23 And it has a certain sound.
06:25 - You get the biggest hit of your career.
06:28 - Right.
06:28 - Like "Out of the Blue."
06:29 - Yeah, "Out of the Blue," unexpectedly,
06:31 wasn't supposed to be a single.
06:32 Wasn't written with that, you know,
06:35 looking for that either.
06:37 That one was absolutely special.
06:39 Thanks to Farruko.
06:40 I mean, the whole combination of things,
06:42 the timing just worked out amazingly,
06:44 but it was very new to me.
06:46 I thought I was at the place that I got to,
06:49 you know, as a writer and I was happy with that.
06:52 Completely caught me off guard.
06:53 I was 38 and started traveling the world.
06:56 And then a sudden stop because of the whole pandemic.
06:59 - Yes.
07:00 And so you come from that global success, so big,
07:05 and then there's a pandemic.
07:06 - Yeah.
07:07 - It had to come.
07:08 (laughs)
07:09 - Back to life.
07:10 - Back to one.
07:10 That's it for today.
07:11 Come back tomorrow for a new segment with Echo Smith,
07:14 and we hang with Mario at our Power Players event.
07:17 I'm Tetris Kelly, and this is Billboard News.
