Watch Justin Bieber Have a ‘Sweet Spot' Dance Party With Sexyy Red in New Video
In a video shared by both artists on Instagram on Friday (July 11) — the same day the Canadian pop star dropped his new album, SWAG, with barely any notice — the duo dance along to their new collaboration 'Sweet Spot.' As the rapper twerks and lip-syncs to her verse, Bieber kisses her on the temple before joining her in grooving to the track.

'love you frienddddddddddddd,' the singer captioned his post, noting that he was 'faded' in the smoke-filled clip.
In her caption, Sexyy wrote, 'Congratulations my friend just dropped his album.'
The hip-hop star is one of a few collaborators Bieber worked with on SWAG, which also features guest spots from Gunna, Druski and Cash Cobain. The LP had barely any promotion leading up to its midnight release, with Bieber simply posting photos of billboards displaying the track list in different cities on Instagram hours before it dropped.
SWAG marks Bieber's first album in four years, following 2021's Justice, which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Before the new record arrived, fans couldn't be sure if or when he would ever release music again, as Bieber had appeared to take a large step back from his pop star career in recent years to focus on his family with Hailey Bieber — with whom he shares 11-month-old son Jack Blues — and recover from partial facial paralysis caused by Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
Sexyy's appearance on SWAG follows her April single 'Hoochie Coochie.' She's also teamed up with Tommy Richman, Snoop Dogg and Central Cee on various tracks in 2025.

Justin Bieber Settles Financial Dispute With Scooter Braun for $31.5 Million Over Scrapped ‘Justice' Tour Dates, Commissions
Justin Bieber has reached a financial settlement with former manager Scooter Braun, agreeing to pay a total of $31.5 million to resolve a dispute stemming from the cancellation of his 2022 'Justice' tour, according to multiple media reports. Bieber, who released a self-produced album 'Swag' ahead of the weekend, will pay $26 million to Braun to reimburse an advance from concert promoter AEG Presents, TMZ first reported, citing sources familiar with the financial dispute. More from TheWrap Justin Bieber Settles Financial Dispute With Scooter Braun for $31.5 Million Over Scrapped 'Justice' Tour Dates, Commissions Boy George Says Childhood Bullying Spurred His Career: 'Embrace Being Different' T.I. and Tiny's OMG Girlz Copyright Case Readies for Another Retrial After Judge Slashes $71 Million Award Oak View Group CEO Tim Leiweke Indicted by DOJ for Rigging Bids on Texas Arena Purchase No lawsuit was ever filed. People confirmed the report Saturday. Messages sent to lawyers for the parties were not immediately returned. Braun's company, HYBE, covered the repayment to AEG after the tour was scrapped. Bieber had agreed to pay back the amount but reportedly made only a single payment. In addition, Bieber will pay $5.5 million to settle a portion of $11 million in unpaid commissions owed to Braun, bringing the total to $31.5 million. Bieber sold his 291-song catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital for $200 million in 2022; a May 2025 documentary claimed the sale was prompted by mounting debts following the tour's cancellation. Bieber and Braun ended their 15-year professional relationship in 2023. Sources told People that Braun's team had no involvement in Bieber's current album and that the relationship had 'run its course,' though Braun posted praise for the artist over the weekend, and expressed admiration for 'Swag.' Braun announced his retirement from music management in June 2024. He stepped down as CEO of HYBE America in July and now serves as a consultant.

Lady Gaga's Vintage-Sounding Duet Beats Her Oscar-Winning Smash
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars's 'Die With a Smile' celebrates 46 weeks on the Hot 100, passing 'Shallow' ... More to become her second-longest-charting hit. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 12: Lady Gaga attends Netflix's "Maestro" Los Angeles Photo Call at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) With each passing week that 'Die With a Smile' finds space on the Hot 100, the song continues to climb higher on the list of Lady Gaga's longest-running successes on Billboard's most competitive songs tally. The track is nearing its first anniversary on the roster, and with one more frame on the ranking, it inches closer to a major milestone. 'Die With a Smile' Lives Inside the Top 10 'Die With a Smile' is present not just on the Hot 100 again, but inside the top 10. This time around, it dips one spot to No. 9 as it celebrates 46 weeks on the chart. As of this latest frame, the tune breaks out of a tie with 'Shallow,' Gaga's duet with Bradley Cooper, and becomes her second-longest-running win on the Hot 100. 'Shallow,' which disappeared after 45 weeks on the list, is pushed down to third place, as it was tied for second with 'Die with a Smile' only days ago. 'Just Dance' Continues to Lead the Charge Another collaboration, 'Just Dance,' which credits Colby O'Donis, still ranks as Gaga's longest-charting track on the Hot 100, but that might not be the case for much longer. 'Just Dance,' which helped introduce Gaga and electronic dance-pop to millions across the U.S. more than a decade ago, lived on the Hot 100 for 49 weeks. Since the beginning of her career, that tune has stood as Gaga's most enduring track, but 'Die With a Smile' doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. 'Die With a Smile' Remains a Huge Radio Smash The Hot 100 is compiled every week by Billboard using a methodology that blends sales, streams, and radio activity to show what songs America is listening to. At the moment, 'Die With a Smile' sits at No. 3 on the Radio Songs chart, No. 20 on the Digital Song Sales ranking, and No. 21 on the Streaming Songs list. The fact that it is still present on all three of those tallies well over 40 weeks into its lifetime show that there's a sustained interest in the throwback-sounding collaboration among a huge population in the country. The Gaga/Mars duet's continued success across all three of Billboard's pop radio charts — it sits inside the top 10 on the Pop Airplay, Adult Contemporary, and Adult Pop Airplay rankings — ensures that 'Die With a Smile' isn't about to vanish anytime soon.

Twenty One Pilots Fans Push The Band's Breakout Album Back To The Charts
Twenty One Pilots' Blurryface returns to six Billboard charts amid its tenth anniversary, reentering ... More the top 10 on Vinyl Albums and Top Alternative Albums lists. LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 12: Musicians Josh Dun (L) and Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots attend The 59th GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center on February 12, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) A decade ago, Twenty One Pilots evolved from alternative rock favorites into global pop stars thanks to the album Blurryface. The set produced massive hits like 'Stressed Out,' 'Ride,' and 'Heavydirtysoul,' and it turned the duo into household figures. 10 years later, Twenty One Pilots continue to create new music – in fact, a new full-length titled Breach is expected in just a few weeks. Before fans get their hands on the upcoming release, a reissued edition of Blurryface finds its way back to several Billboard charts. Blurryface Lands on Half a Dozen Billboard Charts Blurryface currently appears on six Billboard rankings in the United States, reentering all but one of them. The project jumps back into the top 10 on both the Vinyl Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts, reappearing at No. 7 on each. It also comes close to the highest tier on the Top Album Sales and Top Rock Albums rankings, returning at Nos. 13 and 12, respectively. On the Billboard 200, Blurryface lands at No. 64. The title is now just one frame shy of hitting 350 total weeks on the most competitive albums tally in America. Blurryface Climbs on the Rock and Alternative List Blurryface doesn't need to return to the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, as it was already present on that list the prior week. Just days ago, the effort sat in second-to-last place on the 50-spot tally, which ranks the most consumed rock and alternative collections in the country. Now, it surges back toward the loftiest tier, lifting to No. 14. An Anniversary Edition Twenty One Pilots recently issued a special tenth anniversary edition of Blurryface alongside new merchandise, including hats and shirts that honor the project. A red double LP edition is largely to thank for the album's increase in purchases and its chart resurgence. Blurryface's Sales Boost According to Luminate, Blurryface moved 14,200 equivalent units in the U.S. during the past tracking period. Nearly half of that total came from traditional sales, as the title sold just under 7,000 copies across all formats. That figure marks a huge jump from the week before the anniversary reissue shipped, when the project failed to reach even 500 purchases.
