00:12 Happy Halloween from Billboard News.
00:21 City Girls' JT is setting the record straight.
00:24 BTS' Jungkook is breaking records.
00:27 The Mamas announced another round of epic performers.
00:30 We sit down with Oliver Tree
00:32 and Manuel Thereso explains what's behind the photo.
00:35 Happy Halloween.
00:39 I'm normally Tetris Kelly, but as you can see today,
00:42 I'm flavor-flav.
00:44 And it's Tuesday, October 31st.
00:47 We're starting the show by addressing some rumors.
00:49 Well, JT from the City Girls is, at least.
00:52 For real, okay, the reason I threw my phone at Uzi
00:54 is because we all remember when couple JT
00:57 and Lil Uzi Vert got in a little viral altercation
01:00 in the BET Awards audience.
01:01 Well, now JT is opening up about exactly what happened.
01:05 Let me break it down.
01:07 Earlier this year, videos went viral of JT of City Girls
01:10 and Uzi Vert arguing at the BET Awards.
01:13 She legit threw a phone.
01:15 And people were saying it was because of Uzi and Ice Spice.
01:18 Well, JT went on The Breakfast Club to clear the air
01:20 that it was just their homie.
01:22 I had on a huge dress.
01:24 So I'm thinking he leaving
01:25 and about to send somebody back to come and get me.
01:28 But when I get up, he down there with, sorry, Bar-ry.
01:31 He down there chilling with Bar-ry.
01:34 And so happened.
01:35 Who's Bar-ry?
01:36 His friend.
01:36 His friend that he brought.
01:37 It's like, you should have made sure I had that seat.
01:42 And she made it clear her and Ice Spice had no beef.
01:46 It was never about another artist
01:47 because an artist is supposed to be there.
01:49 And he sat directly back next to Ice Spice
01:51 and I sat where Bar-ry was sitting.
01:53 So it was never a problem.
01:54 So there's a lesson here.
01:55 Always save a seat for your boo.
01:58 The boys of BTS are used to breaking records
02:01 but Jungkook just hit a major milestone all on his own.
02:05 ♪ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday ♪
02:07 ♪ Seven days a week ♪
02:09 Jungkook is the newest member of the Billion Streams Club
02:12 and he's got there faster than anyone else.
02:15 ♪ Seven days a week, seven different sheets ♪
02:17 ♪ Seven different angles, I could be a fantasy ♪
02:19 ♪ Open up, say ah ♪
02:21 Jungkook's solo career is breaking records.
02:24 His track "7" with Lotto became the fastest song
02:26 to reach one billion streams in Spotify history.
02:30 The streamer made the announcement Monday
02:32 across its socials.
02:33 The song was added to the official Billions Club playlist
02:36 and sits with some great company like Drake,
02:38 Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd.
02:41 Congrats Jungkook, I know I contributed
02:43 to you hitting this goal.
02:45 ♪ I'll be loving you for seven days a week ♪

03:42 Now it's time for our interview with Oliver Tree.
03:44 Rania Nifto sat down with the eccentric performer
03:47 to talk about touring areas no one else goes,
03:49 and if it may be the end of his musical journey.
03:52 - Where do you pull inspiration?
03:54 Do you pull from other artists?
03:56 Do you pull from TV shows?
03:57 Do you pull from movies?
03:58 - A lot of it is just from exploring,
03:59 meeting new people, experimenting with different ideas.
04:02 Music videos are a driving factor into why I do music.
04:06 I've actually been so proud on my work as a filmmaker
04:09 because I've made this Henry Ford auto line production
04:13 assembly where, for example, the last two videos I shot,
04:16 we would film them, edit them, and release them
04:20 within a five to six day period.
04:22 And so it was just this process where it would come out
04:24 a few days after we filmed it.
04:26 - Oh, cool.
04:27 ♪ No friends ♪
04:29 ♪ I don't ever wanna see you ♪
04:31 ♪ And I never wanna miss you again ♪
04:33 - That's something I'm really proud of
04:34 because I'm able to get the quality that I want,
04:37 even if it's a smaller budget
04:38 and not something super mind-blowing crazy,
04:40 I'm able to make the art piece that I want
04:42 in such a quick time with the execution
04:44 and the quality being at a very high level.
04:47 Hi, my name's Oliver Tree.
04:49 Come watch the world's greatest concert,
04:51 movie, TV show, and play.
04:53 - And even with this world tour,
04:54 you're making it so much more of an experience
04:56 by, I think, expanding what artists usually do,
04:59 which is go to the same kind of round of countries
05:02 and cities, like you're expanding it to five continents.
05:04 Is there a place that you're most excited to?
05:08 - Yes, I am most excited to be performing in Antarctica.
05:12 And this is a big, something I've dreamed
05:15 for many, many years, and it's finally happening
05:17 at the end of this year.
05:19 I get to finally go to Antarctica.
05:20 It's the last continent. - Is there a venue there?
05:22 - No, there's no venue. - Okay.
05:23 - And I can't say too much about it.
05:24 I haven't announced this yet, but I'm announcing it here.
05:27 I'm not gonna say too much, but I will say,
05:29 I'm finally making the dream come to life.
05:32 - Wow. - And it's a long time coming.
05:33 - That's incredible, and I'm so excited
05:36 'cause I really would love to see you on tour.
05:38 And I'm so happy that you're putting out
05:41 another album finally.
05:42 - This very well could be my last album.
05:44 We don't know if this is gonna be one more maybe,
05:48 or maybe this is it, but as far as I'm concerned,
05:50 I feel like this is the end of a trilogy.
05:53 There's a world where this is probably gonna be it.
05:55 - You can catch the full interview at Billboard.com.
05:59 Before I let you go, we caught up with Manuel Turizo,
06:01 and we had to ask him what's behind the photo.
