Travis Scott announces release date for Jackboys 2
The rapper shared the announcement on social media, teasing the project for months before confirming its release. Hosted by rap legend Bun B, Jackboys 2 will feature 17 tracks, promising a collection of 'trunk rattling classics,' according to the promotional material shared by Scott.
The album was first teased by Scott in March during a performance in Miami, and a subsequent trailer directed by Harmony Korine was posted on Instagram the following month.
Over the past weeks, several artists reportedly featured on the album shared photos of themselves alongside custom Lamborghinis adorned with the Jackboys 2 logo.
Featured artists on the album include Tyla, Waka Flocka Flame, 21 Savage, GloRilla, SoFaygo, SahBabii, Vybz Kartel, and Kodak Black.
In the lead-up to the release, Scott also dropped the music video for '2000 Excursion,' featuring uncredited vocals from Sheck Wes and Don Toliver. Fans can now purchase different formats of the album, including vinyl and digital downloads, via Scott's webstore.
Jackboys 2 marks Scott's first full album since the release of Utopia in July 2023, which went on to become one of the best-selling albums of the year and achieved double-platinum status. The upcoming project follows the success of Jackboys, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2019. The debut album featured collaborations with major artists like Rosalia, Lil Baby, and Pop Smoke.
Jackboys 2 will be available at midnight this Sunday, adding to Scott's growing catalog of influential work.

‘Behroopia' writer accuses team of distorting script
Screenwriter Rida Bilal has publicly distanced herself from the TV series Behroopia, stating that the story currently airing no longer reflects her work. In a strongly worded Instagram post on Friday, Rida alleged that her script had been significantly altered without her consent. 'When your name is on something that no longer reflects your voice, it's time to speak up,' she wrote. 'Scenes changed, characters twisted, and intentions lost. The writing you see now? It's not mine.' With Faysal Quraishi and Madiha Imam in lead roles, Behroopia centres on Mahnoor, a woman who enters a second marriage only to discover that her new husband harbours a disturbing secret. Framed as a psychological thriller, the series explores themes of deception, betrayal, and societal taboos surrounding divorce and remarriage. In her post, Rida claimed the story has now veered far from her vision. 'I have tried to state a lot of things in a dignified manner before, but everyone has their limit and I have finally reached mine,' she wrote. 'Behroopia no longer reflects my ideas, writing, or the emotion with which it was created for the audiences.' Rida further criticised the network and director, writing, 'It, however, does reflect the channel's lack of ownership, the director's unfulfilled desires and his knack for writing, which he should practise more often so that the industry can completely go down the drain.' This is not the first time a writer in the Pakistani television industry has raised concerns about creative interference. Bee Gul has previously stated similar challenges. Her 2014 series Zid, which centred on a woman resisting forced marriage and societal pressure, was reportedly undermined by producer interference. Gul said the pressure compromised the show's potential and contributed to its critical failure. Rida's post has drawn widespread attention online, with many industry professionals and viewers expressing support. As of Saturday, neither the private channel nor the director of Behroopia issued a public response. Rida is known for her work on dramas such as Khudgarz and Do Bol, and has often been praised for her character-driven narratives and emotionally grounded writing.

Hip hop fest cancelled amid Kanye furore
The Slovakia festival due to welcome Kanye West next week has called off the event following the uproar over the US rapper's May release of a song glorifying Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Before the July 20 gig was cancelled, Bratislava's Rubicon hip hop festival was set to be West's only confirmed live performance in Europe this year. Though he has won 24 Grammy Awards over the course of his career, the erratic rapper has become notorious in recent years for his increasingly antisemitic and hate-filled rants. West, who has legally changed his name to the shorthand "Ye", released the song Heil Hitler on May 8, the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. In the wake of the announcement of West's appearance at Rubicon, thousands of people signed a petition against the gig. The rapper – a vocal supporter of US President Donald Trump – is "repeatedly and openly adhering to symbols and ideology connected with the darkest period of modern global history", two groups behind the petition said. In a statement on Instagram late on Wednesday, the festival's organisers said the decision to cancel the event was "due to media pressure and the withdrawal of several artists and partners". "This was not an easy decision," the organisers said, without drawing a direct line between the rapper's planned appearance and the cancellations. Contacted on Thursday by AFP, the Rubicon festival did not offer further explanations. Styling itself as the central European country's premier hip hop hang-out, the Rubicon festival was set to run from July 18 to 20. US rappers Offset and Sheck Wes were set to share top billing with West. Australia cancelled West's visa on July 2 over Heil Hitler, in which West raps about his custody battle with ex-wife Kim Kardashian before the song ends with an extract of a speech by the Nazi dictator. West's wife, Bianca Censori, is Australian.
