When you think of Tyga, you probably think of his rap career and the hits that made him famous. That's why he created an alter ego and embraced a completely different sound on his new project, $TARFACE.
“I just feel like there’s no rules anymore,” Tyga tells People. “You don’t have to put yourself in a box on what things have to be creatively. I’ve been in the game for 15 years-plus. So, after a while, you just got to try different stuff.”
He says the project represents a fresh start.
“This is the first project that people are seeing that’s completely different than other things that I’ve done,” he says. “This character, $TARFACE, is a completely separate artist, completely separate aesthetic and everything.”
The album's '80s-inspired sound also serves as a tribute to his late mother, who loved the decade.
“This was her era, and this is something that always felt like we shared a close bond with the ’80s. Just ’80s music mostly, but really ’80s films and just the whole culture of the ’80s," Tyga says.
Rather than simply borrowing from the era, Tyga wanted the album to sound as if it were released then. So, he recorded with vintage equipment and studied Purple Rain, Off the Wall and Scarface.
“I wanted it to be a story,” he says. “I think that’s what people are invested in: the story in music. I don’t think there’s a lot of stories in music anymore. ... I want to tell Scarface and Elvira’s love story but do it my own way.”
Tyga knows the change won't satisfy everyone, but he's OK with that.
“When you take the risk of knowing that you’re going a different route, obviously, you can’t please everybody,” he says. “But I felt really good and really connected to the music. I know there’s people out there that’s going to feel exactly the same way.”
Howard Charles plays a heavyweight championship boxer in Fightland, the new Starz series that follows Duke Kilroy as he seeks vengeance for the death of his brother, whom he believes was killed by criminal kingpin and former promoter Kingsley Marshall.
Though Howard was already in shape before landing the role, he says portraying Duke required a different kind of physique.
"I had to put on weight for the role, actually. I was a bit too lean. That's the first time that's actually happened. So I was eating a bit more than I usually do. I was lifting a bit heavier than I usually do," he tells ABC Audio.
Howard says he was drawn to the character the moment he read the script.
"I saw a man who on the face of it appeared to be dangerous and capable of terrible things, and sometimes even reckless, but this was not a man who was a monster. You know, this is someone who's wounded, someone who is carrying grief, rage ... and he is a man with a heart," he explains. "I just really felt for the guy, you know, I really, really felt his pain and I wanted to play him and I wanted to represent him and I wanted to honor him. And luckily, I was given the opportunity to do that."
Fightland is executive produced by 50 Cent, who is known for starring in, creating and promoting the Power universe. Despite that franchise's long-running success, he believes Fightland is an even better series.
"When you watch that show, you go, well, this is better than where we started with Power," he says, noting it took more effort to promote Power in its early days.
"I took $17,000 to be a reoccurring actor, to write the theme song for Power, to do the marketing and promotions for it because they didn't know who Omari Hardwick was in the very beginning," he says. "So Good Morning America wouldn't accept the cast without me being available. I'm in a nightclub. I got to put a suit on and go to Good Morning America. Like that, it was really interesting."
"I knew I had something going when they would accept them without me season 3," 50 continues. "Then it gradually got to that point."
By contrast, Fightland is captivating from the start. "I'm excited because I think after people see the first [episode] ... they'll understand why I'm been saying that."
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Good Morning America.

This go-round, he's included songs from Doechii and SZA, BossMan Dlow, Vince Staples, Fred Hammond and Tyla.

Other songs on the list include "I Feel Good" by Earth, Wind & Fire, "Make Me Wanna" by October London, "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye and "Anyone Who Had a Heart" by the late Luther Vandross.

Cover art for 'Oriadé' (Davido Music Worldwide Limited)
Davido releases his new album, Oriadé, on Friday, a project he says was recorded without any pressure.
"[R]ecording this album, we had a lot of fun," he tells Vibe. "There was no pressure on me. Because I have so many songs out now that are doing so well. My last two projects are still streaming well."
He adds, "[T]here was really no need to drop an album, but I was just sitting on so much beautiful music. I was like, 'Yo, we got to put this out. It’s the summertime. I want new music.' You know, I tour a lot. When you tour a lot, you understand."
The 13-track album was recorded with a much smaller team than usual.
"I live with the kids and my wife. I can’t have a hundred people in my house like before," Davido says. "Normally we record with 10 people in the studio; we’re drinking, you know how it is. Like, party vibe. But with this record, because of my situation, I can’t be having a hundred people at the hip. So I was only calling a few, probably the producer and engineer, only the people that needed to work."
He says he "enjoyed the process so much" because everyone remained focused.
"When you have people around you that are there for work, everybody’s there to contribute to the brand, not just sitting around. When it’s time to work, we’ve got to get to it," he says.
Davido teases, "I feel like the music is going to speak for it."

K. Michelle’s deep-rooted desire to release a country album is coming true: Jesus & Whiskey will arrive on Oct. 16.
It features nine songs, on which she “fearlessly explores faith, heartbreak, redemption, and love lost and found,” according to a press release.
The title track is out now. It’s described in the release as “a radically honest meditation on faith, grace, and the beautiful imperfection of being human.”
K. Michelle previously released R&B albums Rebellious Soul, Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? and I'm the Problem. She made her country debut last year with "Jack Daniel's." Jesus & Whiskey marks her first country album, but she tells Peopleshe's always been a country girl.
“Being a Tennessee girl, [country] is my first genre of choice, and I was always told because of other reasons, I couldn’t sing that,” K. Michelle says. “When it came down to it, I am a country singer. It’s new to the world, but to everyone around me, they know it’s my whole life, so it’s time to do what it is I do, and I’m really excited about it."

You may be more used to John Legend onstage behind his piano, but in the new film The Road Home, he takes on the role of civil rights activist Harry Belafonte.
“I was honored to know Mr. Belafonte as my friend, mentor and collaborator in the struggle for justice,” he tells Variety. “He was an incredible human being who lived a monumental, revolutionary life. He was the epitome of an artist and activist who set a standard for me and so many others who stand on his shoulders. I count it a privilege to be entrusted with the role of Harry Belafonte in this special film.”
John previously acted in La La Land, Underground and American Dreams.
The Road Home will be directed by Bill Condon from an original script by Michael Bronner, with a story by Bronner and South African writer Zakes Mda. Ittells the story of Hugh Masekela during the aftermath of Paul Simon's 1986 Graceland album, and the ensuing tour with Miriam “Mama Africa” Makeba and Simon.
Graceland drew criticism from Masekela's mentor, Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, who believed the album violated the United Nations' call for a boycott of apartheid South Africa. Masekela hit the road with his fellow musicians to bring the country's voice to the world; as Variety notes, Masekela viewed "music as a mighty weapon in the struggle."
South African actor Thabo Andrew Rametsi will be playing Masekela, Wicked's Cynthia Erivo will play Makeba and Ripley's Johnny Flynn will play Simon.
Music producer Hilton Rosenthal will oversee new recordings from Masekela and Makeba’s catalog for the soundtrack.
Principal photography is happening in South Africa.

A judge ruled that the murder case against the singer D4vd will head to trial, following at-times graphic testimony from investigators during a dayslong preliminary hearing in Los Angeles.
D4vd -- whose legal name is David Burke -- was arrested and charged in April with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez following a monthslong investigation. He has pleaded not guilty to charges that include first-degree murder, sexual abuse of a child and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
Prosecutors allege that D4vd and Rivas Hernandez began a sexual relationship in 2023, when he was 18 and she was 13, and that she was threatening to expose their illegal relationship and ruin his career if he would not be exclusive to her.
Just as tickets for his world tour were set to go on sale, it is alleged that the "Romantic Homicide" singer ordered an Uber that brought Rivas Hernandez to his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025, prosecutors said. That was the last time she was seen alive, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors allege that D4vd stabbed the teen multiple times, watching her bleed out, and then undertook a series of events to dismember her body and get rid of evidence. Her badly decomposed remains were found in two body bags in the front trunk of D4vd's impounded Tesla in September 2025, according to prosecutors. Her passport was found on the side of a rural road in Santa Barbara County in January, authorities said.
Over the course of five days, prosecutors called a dozen witnesses as they set out to establish probable cause that D4vd committed the criminal offenses to move forward with a trial.
The hearing saw graphic testimony from police personnel as they described the scene after responding to the Hollywood tow yard where Rivas Hernandez's decomposing, dismembered body was found in D4vd's impounded vehicle. Throughout the Tesla, which had a strong odor emanating from it, were at least 11 air fresheners, a Los Angeles Police Department criminologist testified.
After seeing news coverage of the unidentified body in D4vd's vehicle, the teen's father called the LAPD concerned that it was his daughter who was in the trunk, an LAPD detective said. Dental records were provided, and the medical examiner identified the remains on Sept. 16, 2025. The following day, a search warrant was served at D4vd's residence, according to the detective.
The detective said multiple items -- including chainsaws, a mop system, cadaver bags and a blue inflatable pool -- were ordered to D4vd's home under the alias "Travion Davis" days after Rivas Hernandez was last seen alive. Two of the chainsaws were found in D4vd's garage and tested negative for blood, while a third was not found, the detective said.
A rubber mat on the floor of the garage had multiple cuts and red marks that tested positive for blood, according to a criminalist with the LAPD's forensic science division who worked on the scene. The DNA profile of the blood matched that of Rivas Hernandez, according to a DNA analyst for the city.
The inflatable pool was found in the garage damaged, with cuts from a blade and pieces missing, according to the criminalist. Blue plastic fragments that were found embedded in Rivas Hernandez's right knee were determined to be a physical fit with the pool, a criminalist assigned to the LAPD's trace analysis unit testified.
D4vd's phone and Tesla traveled to and from Santa Barbara County, to the desolate road where evidence in the case was found, three times -- first on the night of April 23, 2025, when prosecutors say Rivas Hernandez was last seen alive, and then two separate times in May, an LAPD detective who specializes in cellphone records testified.
Following D4vd's arrest in April, the detective said he observed a "Shhh..." tattoo on the singer's right index finger and a "Celeste" tattoo on his left ring finger. Rivas Hernandez also had a "Shhh..." tattoo on her right index finger and a tattoo of D4vd's name on her left ring finger, which was missing from her remains, prosecutors said. The Los Angeles County deputy medical examiner testified that the ring and pinky fingers on her left hand had been amputated.
Her body was discovered a day after her 15th birthday, though the teen had been dead for "at least weeks," possibly since April 2025, the deputy medical examiner testified. The dismemberment was "potentially" consistent with the use of a power tool such as a chainsaw, he said.
Witnesses during the preliminary hearing also included D4vd's financial manager and a finance employee at Interscope Records, his former record label, who testified about how much the singer was making from his career. His financial manager said Burke generated about $11 million between 2023 and 2025 through merchandise and music publishing advances that came in and he was set to make much more.
An LAPD detective also testified on text messages he said showed a sexual relationship between a then-18-year-old D4vd and then-13-year-old Rivas Hernandez and described a series of explicit photographs recovered from D4vd's iCloud account and cellphone. A photo shown in court showed Rivas Hernandez with a "David" tattoo on her left ring finger.
The court also saw her last text messages, sent as the teen was in an Uber headed toward D4vd's home on April 23, 2025, according to the detective. Rivas Hernandez texted that she was "almost there open ur door if u are home," according to the messages shown in court.
"got uuu," D4vd reportedly responded.
Rivas Hernandez did not send any messages after that night, according to the detective. D4vd continued to text her, asking where she was, in what prosecutors alleged was part of a plot to cover up her murder. His last message to her was sent on April 26, 2025, according to the detective.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman expressed confidence at the start of the hearing that the office will meet the evidentiary burden of probable cause on the three felony charges.
D4vd has been held on no bail since his arrest. His attorneys have said they plan to "vigorously defend" his innocence.
"The actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death," his attorneys -- Berk, as well as Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter -- said in a statement following D4vd's arrest.

Seems like a fan didn't have it bad for Usher.
During a recent stop on the R&B tour, Usher serenaded a woman onstage during a performance of "Can U Handle It?" He sang to her as she sat on a bed, but when he leaned in and gently guided her backward, she appeared uncomfortable.
"I don't think she wants to be on the stage, huh?" he joked to the crowd, before signaling for her to get offstage. He then looked into the crowd to find another fan to join him.
The moment went viral, prompting social media users to speculate about the woman's reaction. The woman, later identified as Gabrielle Cheyenne, addressed the criticism in a Facebook post.
"First off NOBODY is declining to go on stage. I looked good asf, you thought I wasn't gonna let THOUSANDS of people see me??" she wrote. "My mom and I had FLOOR SEATS. Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started !! PRETTY PRIVILEGES something you h*** will never know about!!"
"They don't say who you're going up there for!!" she said. "Y'all wanted me to get up there and f*** him atp ?? CHATT FOLKS AREN'T USED TO ANYTHING. That's the most exciting thing that would've happened in y'all little a** lives !! F*** yall, DISRESPECTFULLY."
Gabrielle added that she went onstage for Chris Brown. “Yes I want on stage and no they don’t tell you who, what, when, where. Baby, I wasn’t going up there for Usher, I wanted CHRIS and CHRIS only,” she claimed.
