We’ll have more new releases throughout the show, but let’s get to our lead story. Country star Jimmy Allen is facing sexual assault allegations and has been suspended from his label in a civil lawsuit filed Thursday in Tennessee federal court. An anonymous accuser says that Allen manipulated and used his power over her job to sexually harass and abuse her over a period of 18 months from 2020 to 2022. Hours after news broke of the allegations, Allen’s record label suspended the artist, saying in a statement in light of today’s allegations against Jimmy Allen, BBR Music Group has decided to suspend all activity with him effective immediately. This suspension includes ceasing radio promotion on his current single ‘Be All Right,’ which climbs 59 and 57 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated May 13. Additionally, Allen has also been removed from the performer lineup for this year’s CMA Fest. In a statement to Billboard the country singer admitted to a sexual relationship with this accuser, but denied all allegations of wrongdoing, saying in part, I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my career, and I intend to mount a vigorous defense to her claims and take all other legal action necessary to protect my reputation.

Taylor and 1989 — I mean 1975 — Shakira and Lewis Hamilton, Rihanna and A$AP’s baby’s name — relationships are relationshipping and we’re catching you up. After Taylor has been slaying on her Eras Tour, she’s also been rumored to be dating 1975 frontman Matt Healy. After splitting from boyfriend Joe Alwyn, a Swiftie’s dad photographed the two holding hands in a restaurant, which sent the fandom into a heated debate about whether he’s right for Miss Americana. Meanwhile, after splitting from Gerard Pique, Shakira was spotted hanging out with British race car driver Louis Hamilton. And almost exactly a year after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky son was born. His name has reportedly been revealed to be RZA a possible tribute to the legendary rapper producer and Wu Tang Clan frontman

Sunday is Mother’s Day and if you are wondering what some of your faves have planned, we’ve got you covered

Evaluna 6:27
A song that reminds me of my motherhood would have to be ‘Indigo,’ the song that I sing with my husband because that was obviously the song that we dedicated to her and it’s kind of like the song that we played for her during my whole pregnancy and then when she was born, and so it’s a special one. And with my mom, I’d have to say Shania Twain, ‘looks like we made it’ — what’s that? What’s the name of it? ‘Look how far we’ve come my baby.’ ‘Still the One’!

Elena Rose 7:14
A song that reminds me of my mom is any Cheyenne song big fan anytime on song is like Oh, my mom
