We have breaking news on Cassie and Diddy. New music from Billie, Bebe, Saweetie and more. We sit down with the boys of Grupo Frontera and Luis Fonsi and we run down what you missed at the ACMs. A 2016 surveillance video appears to show Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel. We have word from her attorney.

The new video obtained by CNN seems to mirror an assault allegation Ventura made in a now-settled lawsuit she filed against the hip-hop mogul in November. In the video, Combs appears to shove Ventura to the ground near an elevator bank, kick her several times while she lies on the ground, and drag her down a hallway. Cassie’s attorney stated: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Now for our Friday Music Guide. Billie Eilish enters a new era with ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft.’ Saweetie submits her entry for the song of the summer with “NANi.” Last night was a celebration of country, and Dallas was the place to party. From Dua Lipa joining Chris Stapleton, to Jelly Roll & Lainey Wilson winning big. The 2024 ACM Awards in Dallas were the place to be, and we’re telling you what went down. The night had some big performances including our boy Jelly Roll delivering “Liar” and the prolific singer took home his first ACM. Lainey herself took home Entertainer of the Year.
