00:00 Doja Cat is not safe for work or your kids.
00:03 New music from Normani and more.
00:06 We take you to the Latin AMAs, have an interview with Kaytn, and an in-depth look at Anitta.
00:13 It's almost the weekend, which means we've got a ton of new music to get to in our Friday
00:19 Music Guide.
00:26 You've been asking for it and Normani's Deliver is 159 featuring Gunna.
00:38 More new music throughout the show but it's time to get to our top story.
00:41 Are Doja Cat shows not safe for kids?
00:44 She sang "Hell No" in a rant on X.
00:47 But is she wrong?
00:53 Doja just popped off at Coachella but it's not for everybody.
00:56 The Billboard chart-topper posted today, "I don't know what the f*** you think this is
01:01 but I don't make music for children so leave your kids at home, m****."
01:05 Um okay girl.
01:07 And she didn't stop there.
01:08 The censored artist stated, "I'm rapping about c***.
01:11 Why are you bringing your offspring to my show?"
01:14 It's unclear what made her pop off but it was personal cause she added a zinger saying,
01:19 "Rapping about eating c*** and pissing on his v-cut.
01:22 Leave your mistake at home."
01:24 Yikes!
01:25 But I will say she ended this hilariously.
01:28 A fan asked was she high and she answered maintenance.
01:31 We love a high maintenance queen.
01:39 Get ready for a vocal masterclass.
01:42 Vincent's got the feels and the vibes with "Lean."
01:52 Fade and Carole G, who wasn't able to attend, took home the most awards of the night at
01:56 the Latin AMAs.
01:58 The event honored the biggest talent Thursday night in Las Vegas.
02:02 Fade swept the event winning six of his twelve nominations.
02:05 Becky G co-hosted the event with its first ever bilingual broadcast.
02:10 My first time getting to come to one of these award shows and not feel ashamed of being
02:17 a pocha, of speaking in Spanglish and the fact that this is a historical moment that
02:23 I get to be a part of, for me, brings me so much pride.
02:27 Kali Uchis won best pop album for "Orquideras" and celebrated her award backstage with Billboard.
02:41 Billboard also caught up with Anitta on the red carpet where she talked about her new
02:58 album, "Funk Generation."
03:05 Victoria Justice revealed she would love to collab with Becky G and Carole G.
03:18 For more on the Latin AMAs, check out Billboard.com.
03:22 It doesn't get more Friday than the Chainsmokers featuring "Friday."
03:34 Here at Billboard, we get to talk to some of your favorite artists in this fine Friday
03:37 we sat down with K-Tizz.
03:39 There's a song that never came out, called "Veneno." It never came out. I think that was the composition that made her interested in me.
03:48 From there, we became guilty, we sent it to Monetour and he did it for her. "Calypso Remix" by Luis Fonsi.
03:55 She gave me the faith to put it in the remix. And from there, we did more, like, "Ah, there's chemistry."
04:03 But the first song that came out of her was "Créeme" with Maluma.
04:08 "Créeme un poco."
04:10 Okay.
04:11 That was the first song that came out with her. It was number one on Billboard.
04:14 I really liked that song. And from there, we kept working and working.
04:18 I think after that, it was "Tusa."
04:20 Describing "Despecho" but at the same time, it sounds like a dance song.
04:25 Or that it's sung happily, but it's a song about despair. I don't know why.
04:29 So it was always like that. The one who had the vision of making the joint with Shakira and making it a song about despair,
04:37 the most solid, was Karol. With Karol, we did "Se Cugen." I remember a lot in Los Angeles, she was recording Griselda at that time.
04:47 Of course.
04:47 And that's where it came out, in Los Angeles. And then she had the vision of presenting the song to Shakira, and that's where we finished it together.
04:57 But that's how it came out.
04:59 Here comes Balvin, here comes J Balvin with a song that I love, with "La Creme." Very hard, very hard.
05:05 I love to hear that. I love that you make a song for Balvin.
05:09 No, I'm a big fan of him. And he has a lot of my music.
05:13 Yes, we are very good friends. I think he is one of my best friends in the industry.
05:16 And a lot of music comes with him. A lot of music comes with him.
05:20 Well, that's already assured because he's releasing the new album this year.
05:24 Yes, there are my songs too. We are working on little things.
05:30 Little things?
05:31 Yes, little things like me.
05:33 For the full interview, head to Billboard's YouTube page.
05:35 Funk?
05:36 I don't know. I don't know.
05:38 What does funk mean?
05:39 Funk? I don't have an explanation. It's a lot of emotion.
05:43 Anitta brings the heat with "Funk Generation."
05:52 There's no denying Anitta is a force to be reckoned with.
05:55 But do you know all of her many achievements? Well, let's explain it to you.
05:58 Now I'm working on an album in full funk, full my culture.
06:04 Anitta is bringing the funk with the release of her upcoming album, "Funk Generation."
06:09 To celebrate the release of her sixth studio album,
06:12 we're looking back at some of her biggest chart accomplishments.
06:14 This is Billboard Explains Anitta's Rise on the Charts.
06:18 Anitta made her Billboard Hot 100 debut with "Me Gusta" featuring Cardi B and
06:22 Mike Towers back in October 2020, where it peaked at number 91.
06:26 Since then, she's had two more songs on the Hot 100,
06:33 "Bella Cheo" with Peso Puma that reached number 53,
06:36 and "En Velver" which peaked at number 70.
06:44 "En Velver" was a viral hit for Anitta that spent one week at number one on the Billboard Global
06:53 Excluding US chart. Over on Hot Latin Songs, the song is one of Anitta's four top 10 hits
06:59 alongside "Ma Chica" with J Balvin and Dion, which reached number 10.
07:03 That collab also saw success on Latin Airplay, where it spent one week at number one in 2018.
07:14 Anitta also has five top 10s on Latin Pop Airplay and three top 10s on Latin Rhythm Airplay.
07:20 Where will Funk Generation land on the charts? We can't wait to find out.
07:24 That's the news. Come back next week for our interviews with Willow Smith and Dua Lipa,
07:29 but let me leave you with one more entry in our Friday Music Guide.
