00:24 especially the audio version.
00:26 - His band NSYNC was what people back then

01:00 oh yeah, fo' shiz, fo' shiz, genuine, what's up homie?
01:04 - The J she's referring to is none other

01:09 One fan summed it up perfectly, posting,
01:12 "Five time Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams
01:14 "saying fo' shiz, fo' shiz, what up homie, is art."
01:18 And another pointed out the obvious,
01:20 I cannot believe we are living in a reality

01:26 I don't know about y'all, but I cannot wait
01:28 for the remixes to start rolling out.
01:30 - Oh yeah, fo' shiz, fo' shiz, what's up homie?
01:34 - From one major pop star to another,
01:36 Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey,
01:37 have dealt with their fair share of drama,
01:40 and they're calling it out.
01:41 Hailey Bieber is addressing pregnancy rumors
01:44 and how she feels about fan speculations.
01:46 And we also find out how she feels about those outfits,
01:49 and you know exactly which ones I'm talking about.
01:52 In an interview with GQ, Mrs. Justin Bieber
01:54 said they aren't pregnant, and it hurts her
01:57 when people discuss her body.
01:58 She stated, "Recently everybody was like,
02:01 "oh my God, she's pregnant,
02:03 "and that's happened to me multiple times before.
02:05 "There is something that's disheartening about,
02:07 "damn, I can't be bloated one time and not be pregnant?"
02:11 She added, "It would be a lie if I was like,
02:13 "oh yeah, I don't give a."
02:15 Other things fans always discuss
02:17 are the couple's famous outfit clashes.
02:20 And she notices.
02:21 She told the magazine, "He gets dressed before her,
02:24 "and she stated, "He may want to wear baggy sweats to dinner,
02:27 "and I might want to wear a tiny little dress
02:29 "just because that's how I'm feeling.
02:31 "We can't sit there and be like,
02:33 "so I'm gonna wear this and you're gonna wear this."
02:35 You know what, Hailey?
02:36 We'll go with that.
02:37 Keep it simple, boo boo.
02:39 On to some K-pop legal drama.
02:41 50/50 vs. Their Agency has reached a new point
02:44 and has us asking what's next for the group.
02:47 They had one of the biggest songs in the world,
02:49 and after suing their agency,
02:51 everyone's wondering what's next for 50/50.
02:54 Here's what we know.
02:55 ♪ Still I want it more, more, more ♪
02:59 ♪ I give a second chance to Cupid ♪
03:03 Cupid was the number one song in the world,
03:05 then the four girls of 50/50 took 8-Track to court.
03:08 According to Korea Times,
03:09 they alleged the agency breached their contract
03:12 by failing to provide accounting data
03:14 and neglecting their mental health.
03:16 Since then, Keena dropped her lawsuit
03:18 and rejoined the agency.
03:20 As for the other three members,
03:21 8-Track terminated Aaron, Seo, and Sana's contracts,
03:25 claiming they slandered and defamed the agency.
03:27 8-Track also alleged a conspiracy
03:29 between the three members
03:30 and the founder and CEO of The Givers,
03:32 the consulting firm who co-manages the group
03:35 alongside 8-Track,
03:36 saying the CEO tried to poach the group.
03:38 Warner Records, who 50/50 signed a deal with,
03:41 did not return a request for comment.
03:43 So what's next now that three of the four members
03:45 had their contracts terminated?
03:47 Looks like we'll have to wait and see.
03:49 Time to look back at our Latin music.
03:51 We, while in Miami, we had Nicki Nicole
03:54 go fishing for answers.
