Fenix Flexin Finally Admits He Used AI on 'Rubberz'

The cat's out of the bag and the mystery surrounding Fenix Flexin’s viral hit “Rubberz” has taken a new turn. After weeks of denying accusations that artificial intelligence had played a role in the song’s creation, the Los Angeles rapper has now acknowledged that AI was used as part of the process.

Responding to a comment on Instagram encouraging him to admit the use of AI, Fenix clarified that he never intended to hide the technology’s involvement, arguing that it was simply a creative tool. “Never said I didn’t use AI,” he wrote, adding that it “had nun to do w recording process” and that he only became aware of the app involved after the song was mixed and listeners began questioning its origins.

Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts Announce New Album 'Second Song'

Neil Young is returning with a new studio album that finds him looking inward after a turbulent period of political frustration. The Canadian rock icon has announced Second Song, his second album with backing band the Chrome Hearts, set for release Sept. 18 via Reprise Records.

The record arrives after a period in which Young has been increasingly vocal about the state of the world around him. Following the 2024 U.S. election, Young spoke openly about his disappointment with the political climate, describing the experience of living through what he called the “worst president in the history of our country” as a distressing experience. While he has continued to use his voice to criticize political decisions, he said he wanted to move beyond anger and reconnect with themes of love, humanity and everyday life.

Why Is Everyone Convinced Tate McRae Is MAGA?

Tate McRae has faced lots of scrutiny and assumptions about her career and personal life. Maybe the 23-year-old is savvy enough to know she can’t control the narrative entirely, and she might feel that playing rumor whack-a-mole would be an insufficient use of her time. But in the absence of a clear statement, online audiences have been running wild with the claim that McRae might be MAGA.

Earlier this week, McRae appeared on the cover of Variety‘s Power of Young Hollywood issue. When asked why she avoids commenting on any conversations regarding politics — specifically as it pertains to Donald Trump and his MAGA cult — McRae circled the question carefully, which only made her response catch fire online. “I think it’s pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support,” she said. “And I hope that my fans can see that through the things that I’m putting my energy towards.”

Lindsey Buckingham’s Alleged Stalker Ruled ‘Not Trial Competent’ After Mental Health Exam

The woman charged with stalking Lindsey Buckingham after claiming the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist is her father was found incompetent to stand trial Thursday.

“At this time, the court finds that you are not able to handle your case. You are not trial competent,” Los Angeles County Mental Health Court Judge Robert S. Harrison told Michelle Dick during a morning hearing. The judge said he also found that it was “medically appropriate to treat the defendant’s psychiatric condition with medication.” He made his rulings after receiving a report from a court-appointed doctor who examined Dick in custody.

Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Famous Guest Drummers Honor Neil Peart in New Documentary

A new documentary about the late Neil Peart, Rush’s drummer and lyricist, will debut on Canada’s CBC network Sept. 23. Neil Peart: No One’s Disciple will tell Peart’s life story, and it will also feature interviews with Rush co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, as well with a crew of legendary drummers talking about his influence.

Also for the documentary, Lee and Lifeson filmed rehearsal hall performances of classic Rush songs with some well-known guest drummers, including the Police’s Stewart Copeland, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, and Tool’s Danny Carey. The pair previously played with Smith and Carey at a Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in 2022, but had never before performed with Copeland, who was close friends with Peart.
