9/15/26: Lil’ Durk Speaks to the Youth; Jasmine Crockett Backlash; Artist Royalty Program

After being acquitted on capital murder charges, Lil’ Durk has a positive message for the youth as he tries to secure his release, telling them that they can always change to become a better person. Meanwhile, Jasmine Crockett is under fire for honoring Chris Brown while he and Usher are on tour, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are partnering with Bonhams to launch a royalty reward program that hopes to allow artists to retain much of the financial benefit of their creations. Plus, the cast of the new Tyler Perry movie, “Why Did I Get Married Again,” are commenting on how the movie only took 4 days to film, there’s controversy surrounding LG smart TVs and the speculation that they may be recording people and tracking other household devices, and criticism surrounding Hyrox, an international fitness competition, because they allowed a competitor to continue despite the fact that she pooped herself. She ended up winning, but still, that’s nasty.
