00:00 Riva denies dissing Taylor, Taeyeon set to join the military in Northwest's first on-camera interview.
00:06 I catch up with Sexy Red,
00:08 Pureville who tops this week's Billboard Hot 100,
00:11 and Lainey Wilson gives her younger self some advice.
00:14 I'm Tetris Kelly, it's Monday, March 18th, and I'm tired from an epic weekend at Rolling Loud.
00:23 This is Billboard News, so we're gonna break it all down for you.
00:27 But first, here's three things you need to know.
00:30 Riva McIntyre shuts down rumors of dissing Taylor Swift.
00:34 The country legend took to IG to post a headline claiming
00:37 she called Taylor an "entitled brat" at this year's Super Bowl.
00:41 She said,
00:42 Country girls gotta stay together.
00:55 According to whoever runs the America Loves Liberty Facebook account,
00:58 if you're gonna make up a story about Riva, at least spell her name right.
01:02 I'm really, really excited and I can't wait anymore.
01:06 I want to go to stage and I want to perform right now.
01:10 It feels like just yesterday I was catching up with Taeyeon at KCON
01:14 and SM Entertainment just announced he'll be enlisting in the Navy
01:18 to complete mandatory military service starting April 15th.
01:22 He'll be the first member of NCT to enlist.
01:25 But if I go back to Korea, I gotta go to work with my team.
01:31 I was ready for him to rejoin NCT, not the military, but we know how this goes.
01:36 I watched all seven of my boys from BTS go through it. We got this.
01:40 We're at the one and only Northwest.
01:42 North, how you doing today?
01:43 Good, how are you?
01:44 I'm doing great, thank you so much for asking.
01:46 Northwest gave her first on-camera interview at Rolling Loud.
01:50 How do you feel about coming out with your own album now?
01:53 And what can everyone expect? And when is it going to drop?
01:55 Because we're all very excited.
01:57 It's going to be great.
01:58 Jazzy caught up with Miss Westy to get all the tea on her upcoming debut album.
02:03 When is it going to drop?
02:05 I don't know.
02:07 Okay, are there going to be any kind of collabs with your dad on there?
02:11 Maybe, we don't know yet.
02:13 This next generation of artists and journalists makes this old head feel proud.
02:18 Whitney was right, the children are our future.
02:21 Monday may not be your favorite day of the week, but at least we've got a brand new Hot 100 to run down.
02:26 Here's the Top 10.
02:28 With Ariana Grande's new album out and monster tracks from Beyonce and Teddy Swims,
02:32 who's going to end up on top?
02:34 This is the Billboard Hot 100 for the week dated March 23rd.
02:39 Back in the Top 10 is Yes and.
02:44 Yes and.
02:47 Make that shit with your chest.
02:49 Zac and Kacey slip two spots to nine.
02:52 I remember, I remember everything.
02:56 As Tate McRae falls to eight.
03:00 Surrender yourself, baby don't get greedy.
03:03 Four Bats and Drake blast from 61 to seven.
03:07 What did I do to deserve you? Don't even know what I did.
03:11 Beyonce is down to number six.
03:14 This ain't Texas, ain't no holdin'.
03:18 Lovin' on Me is in at five.
03:21 But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby.
03:24 Yeah and Friends fall from one to four.
03:27 Yeah, yeah, pull it with Yeezy and Dallas Sign.
03:30 I'm all about business, I'm not a monger.
03:32 Beautiful Things is up a spot to three.
03:34 These beautiful things that I've got, please stay.
03:40 While Teddy Swims stays locked in at number two.
03:43 I lose control.
03:48 And with the release of Eternal Sunshine,
03:50 Ariana Grande grabs her ninth number one with We Can't Be Friends.
03:54 We can't be friends.
03:57 Hanging with who the hottest princess sexy, Red? I heard you.
04:00 Okay.
04:01 I heard you rushed from the stage to get back here 'cause you heard it had some good weed. Is that true?
04:04 Oh, who told you my business?
04:06 You know, we got ears to the street. How was it up on your set? How's rolling out been for you?
04:11 It was fun. I had fun doing the set.
04:14 Hands on your knees. Hands on your knees. Hands on your knees.
04:19 I mean, now, you know, you a mama, so how's that changed how you approaching your day-to-day life?
04:23 I just try to manage it. Like, I got help, so I manage it good.
04:27 You're killing it and looking good while you're doing it.
04:29 Now, you've been hiding the baby daddy from us.
04:31 Why is it so important for you to keep this little mystery with every fan's guessing?
04:35 'Cause I don't need everybody in my business. Like, why y'all want to be so nosy? Mind y'all fucking business.
04:39 I mean, you ain't wrong about that. And then you did the video, though, where you was, like, giving birth in the video.
04:43 How was it to work with Drake? How was that whole process?
04:45 It was fun. I fuck with Drake. He a good person for real.
04:48 Nice. And then, you know, all the fans out here, they excited tonight. They got Nicki Minaj coming out.
04:51 You a Nicki fan.
04:52 Yeah. Yeah, I fuck with Nicki.
04:54 What would you say is her best album?
04:56 Pink Friday, of course.
04:58 Pink Friday, of course. What we got new coming from you? Can we look for some new music?
05:01 Yeah, I just dropped "Get It Sexy" yesterday, so go fuck with that.
05:05 Get it sexy, get it sexy.
05:08 Yeah, that's my new shit. And then I got some more shit coming.
05:11 I saw on your Twitter you was looking for a certain type of man for your next music video.
05:16 What, what, did you find who what you was looking for?
05:18 Nope. I ain't gonna never find what I'm looking for. I got to build me a nigga.
05:22 Dang, well, you let me know where they doing that at. Thank you so much for talking to us.
05:26 No problem. Thank you, guys.
05:28 Get it sexy, get it sexy.
05:32 I love hanging with Sexy Red. I also love me some Laini Wilson. We country folk.
05:37 And we got a chance to hang out with her backstage recently.
05:41 Some advice I would give to my younger self is stay true to yourself, be kind, roll up your sleeves.
05:53 It's gonna be a scary, scary ride, but hold on tight and keep your people close.
05:59 That's it for today. Make sure you come back tomorrow for my interview with K-pop group The Boyz.
