Still reeling after A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' massive Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) reveal? Then I've got some good news: You'll get to witness the fallout of that bombshell two days early.

HBO has announced that A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' fourth episode will be streaming on HBO Max Friday, Feb. 6 at 3:01 am ET, as opposed to its usual airtime of 10 p.m. ET on Sundays.

Why the early streaming date? This move takes A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms out of direct competition with Super Bowl LX, which kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 8.

This isn't the first time HBO has pushed back episodes of its tentpole Sunday shows so they don't conflict with the Super Bowl. In 2024, they aired True Detective: Night Country early, and in 2025, they did the same for The Last of Us Season 2. This year, Industry is also streaming early ahead of Super Bowl Sunday.

However, if you don't plan on watching the Super Bowl and would rather stick to your regularly scheduled Sunday night viewing, don't worry. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 4 will still air in its 10 p.m. ET time slot on Feb. 8.

After this week, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will revert to its usual schedule, with episode 5 airing Feb. 15 at 10 p.m. ET. A small warning for those of us who hate waiting between episodes: This means that if you choose to watch episode 4 on Friday, you'll have to wait nine days for your next Westeros fix instead of the usual seven. But then again, that just means more time to rewatch the earlier episodes!

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 4 hits HBO Max Feb. 6 at 3:01 am ET. The rest of the episodes air Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.

Open-ear earbuds can be a great option for anyone who prefers remaining aware of the world around them, but it's not always easy to find pairs for $50 or less (especially if you don't prefer the ear hook design).

Enter: the Shokz OpenMove headphones, on sale for $49.95 at Amazon and Walmart as of Feb. 2. Typically, these bone conduction headphones will run you $79.95, meaning this deal nets you a savings of $30 (or a 38% discount).

Unlike ear hook or clip open earbuds, the OpenMove are bone conduction, which means they rest on either side of your head, and use vibrations to your bones to transmit sound. On these Shokz, a titanium band holds them in place around the back of the wearer's head to keep them secure for a comfortable open-ear listening experience.

Even at full price, the OpenMove are Shokz most affordable bone conduction model (and significantly cheaper than the $179.95 OpenRun Pro 2). While this is reflected in a difference in specs, these are still a great option for casual use, with six hours of battery life, IP55 sweat-resistance rating, and lightweight design.

Here's the bad news: Fitbit users without a Google account will soon need one. Here's the good news: Those users got a last-second extension on the conversion deadline.

Fitbit users without a Google account were supposed to be out of luck today, Monday, Feb. 2, but they have been granted temporary relief. As The Verge spotted, a support page at Google notes the deadline has been pushed to May 19, 2026. So if you're still working with a Fitbit account, then you'll need to swap it out just in time for Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer.

"After May 19, 2026, you can no longer access Fitbit with your Fitbit account. To continue using your account, you’ll need to move your Fitbit account to Google," the post from Google reads.

It adds: "You can still download or delete your data any time before we begin processing data deletions on July 15, 2026."

Google purchased Fitbit for more than $2 billion in 2019, with the deal officially completing in 2021. The migration of Fitbit users to Google accounts has been expected ever since. The deadline was supposed to be last year, then pushed to February, and now, ultimately, to May 2026.

By now, you've probably heard about the DJI ban in the U.S. that took hold right before Christmas. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to get ahold of a DJI drone in the country. The ban only applied to future shipments on DJI drones which means all of the stock that was in the U.S. at the time is fair game for ownership and operation. That means it's still possible to get one, but the availability is dwindling by the day. If you're in the market for a DJI drone before they all get snatched up, read up on this deal.

As of Feb. 2, the DJI Mini 3 drone with DJI RC is in-stock and on sale at Amazon for $439, marked down from the standard price of $549. That's a 20% discount that takes $110 off the price.

Keep in mind, this deal is sold by Xingtai store, a third-party seller at Amazon. Mashable typically discourages readers from buying items from third-party sellers at Amazon, but this has been the best way to get a DJI drone for months now. Plus, the Xingtai store has a 100% positive track record over the last year.

DJI knows how to make creating content way easier. We have the DJI Mic Mini, which appears to be on every creator's shirt or hand, and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, but the brand initially rose to popularity with drones. The DJI Mini 3 drone is great if you're looking for a powerhouse drone in a compact size.

It gets up to 38 minutes of flight time with a video transmission range that reaches 10 kilometers. Plus, it's capable of true vertical shooting. For beginners, the integrated GPS-powered auto return to home offers tons of reassurance your investment is sound.

More standout features of the DJI Mini 3 drone come from the auto-landing function, precise hovering, and level five wind resistance. Today's deal applies to a bundle that includes the DJI Mini 3 drone, DJI RC, a spare pair of propellers, a gimbal protector, Intelligent Flight battery, and a few more accessories.

While it's still in stock and on sale, get yourself the DJI Mini 3 drone with DJI RC. You'll be able to save $110 while ensuring you get a solid DJI drone before supplies dry up in the country.

The world of consumer artificial intelligence has been hit with accusations of theft and piracy for as long as it's existed, and that trend is continuing with Anthropic.

The company behind the Claude chatbot and other AI products was on the receiving end of a $3 billion lawsuit from the music industry late last week, per Reuters. Music publishers including Universal Music Group, ABKCO, and Concord are alleging that Anthropic pirated more than 700 pieces of music (including sheet music and lyrics) they own for use in training Claude. However, the lawsuit also alleges that as many as 20,000 pieces of music could have been infringed upon in this process, hence the massive financial penalty attached to the lawsuit.

SEE ALSO: Anthropic CEO warns that AI could bring slavery, bioterrorism, and unstoppable drone armies. I'm not buying it.

Anthropic ought to be used to this by now, having previously been sued by the same music publishers for similar reasons in 2023. Just last year, the company settled with book authors who had accused Anthropic of piracy for $1.5 billion. The same sort of thing has come for other AI companies in the recent past, too, as a German court ruled that OpenAI had violated copyright laws related to music last year.

It remains to be seen exactly how the growing AI industry will reckon with copyright laws as they exist beyond just settling for huge sums of money with every party that sues them. For now, expect lawsuits like this to keep periodically happening until everyone figures out the right way to approach this issue.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

SAVE $10.99: As of Feb. 2, you can get a 30-day free trial to Peacock Premium by signing up for Walmart+. That gives you access to every minute of the 2026 Winter Olympics, which kick off on Feb. 6.

Peacock is your one-stop shop for everything Olympics — which will be held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy from Feb. 6 to 22. If you're hoping to watch every event unfold live, but don't want to pay for a subscription, listen up.

While Peacock ($109.99 per year value) itself no longer offers free trials, you can still get 30 days for free by signing up for Walmart+. In Fall 2025, Walmart+ added Peacock to its membership as a free streaming perk. Members can select from either Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential every 90 days. A full Walmart+ membership will cost you $98 per year after a 30-day free trial. The $98 subscription also gives you access to free shipping at Walmart.com (with no order minimums), fuel discounts, a Scan & Go checkout tool, and early access to deals during Walmart's major shopping events.

As noted on the Walmart+ sign-up page, trial members are welcome to use the streaming perks. So you can easily watch the Olympics for free during your 30-day trial period by selecting Peacock as your Video Streaming Benefit.

A Peacock subscription will give you access to NBC's full broadcast of the Winter Olympics, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, plus a livestream of every single sport, competition, and medal ceremony. It will also unlock access to always-on Olympics channels, replays, highlights, and nonstop commentary.

Since a Peacock Premium subscription is typically $109.99 per year, a $98 Walmart+ subscription is already a better deal than paying for Peacock on its own. With a free 30-day trial to kick things off, what do you have to lose? Just remember to cancel before the trial is up if you want to avoid the full charge.

If you're a sports fan, you have a very exciting week ahead. On Friday, we have the opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics, followed by weeks of epic sporting events. And this coming Sunday, we have Super Bowl LX. If you already have the snack menu planned, but you're still searching for another way to make this winter's sporting events better than ever, you might want to check out this deal.

As of Feb. 2, the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro outdoor cinema projector is on sale for $4,299 at Amazon, marked down from the list price of $4,999. That's a 14% discount that shaves a nice $700 off the price. It's also the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

If you've ever wished you could have a drive-in movie experience in your own backyard, Soundcore heard your desires and released the Nebula X1 Pro home and outdoor cinema projector. Before we dive into the specifics of what this projector can do, note that it's shaped like a massive boom box on wheels. It looks more like the JBL PartyBox 520 in its stature than a standard projector.

But the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro is a complex beast in what it's capable of, while still being super easy to use, of course. It's a 4K projector with 3,500 ANSI lumens that's capable of projecting a display up to 300 inches. But since it's a mobile theatre, it also includes speakers that are designed to create surround sound.

The speaker set-up uses 12 custom drivers with dual-opposing subwoofers. Used inside or out, you'll be able to recreate a theatre-experience at home which will be awesome for this weekend's sports events. Soundcore made this model super portable with a telescoping handle and durable wheels. Plus, there's a 6.6 foot retractable power cable.

For anyone looking to get a major upgrade to backyard movie nights or indoor winter streaming sessions, go with the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro outdoor cinema projector while it's on sale for $4,299 at Amazon. If you're looking for something a whole lot more portable and less expensive, the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser mini projector is also on a nice 28% discount at Amazon.

The 2026 Winter Olympics begin this week, and for athletes trying to have their own Heated Rivalry moment, gay hookup app Grindr is beefing up its safety features.

Grindr will be available during the Olympics, the app told Mashable, with additional safeguards in place. For example, the location-based features Explore and Roam will be disabled within the Olympic Villages to prevent people outside the venues from browsing who's on the app. Distance visibility will also be turned off by default, and users will have the option to use approximate distance. Private videos will also be disabled in official Olympics locations.

SEE ALSO: Review: Grindr, you're a mess in 2026, so why can't I quit you?

During the Olympic Games in recent years, dating app users have changed their locations in hopes of matching with athletes, so these measures make sense.

In addition to those location features, Grindr will also have unlimited disappearing messages and the ability to unsend messages available to all users. Screenshots will be disabled for profile images and photos shared in chat, which is a standard feature.

Regular in-app safety reminders will also appear on Grindr, with links to support and resources. Only public service announcements will be shown, too — no third-party ads.

"The Olympic Games bring heightened visibility, which can create real safety risks for LGBTQ+ athletes, especially those who are not out or come from countries where being LGBTQ+ is dangerous or illegal," Grindr's chief product officer, AJ Balance, stated in a press release. Grindr is restricted in several countries due to local laws.

"These temporary changes are about reducing that risk and giving users greater control of their privacy while keeping the app available."

Grindr also implemented these safety measures at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

People on the internet like to say "God gives His toughest battles to His strongest soldiers," and I think that statement applies to people like me who love RPGs but can't earnestly recommend them to friends because so many are several dozen hours long.

This problem is often worsened by remakes or re-releases of old RPGs, which add new content that extends their already substantial playtimes. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined from Square Enix is a fascinating exception to this trend, as it takes a famously 100+ hour game from 26 years ago (which already got an expanded remake on 3DS in 2013) and actually condenses it down into a format that's a lot more digestible for players who don't want to devote that much time to a game.

Square Enix went so far as to cut entire areas and storylines out of the game, and also accelerated the upgrade mechanics. The end result is a much leaner, quicker, almost entry-level version of DQVII. It's a great game for Dragon Quest first-timers like me, but admittedly, it left me wanting to see what was left on the cutting room floor.

We can debate the necessity of remaking Dragon Quest VII for a second time this century, but there's no question that its premise and structure make it one of the more compelling games in the venerable RPG series. For that reason alone, I'm glad Square found a way to get this game in front of people again.

At the start of the journey, the silent protagonist and his friends live on a small island with a couple of towns, a castle, and a mysterious shrine. As far as they're concerned, that's the entire known world. There are no other islands or continents in the vast ocean, and no one really knows why or even cares to ask about it. Before long, though, you'll find yourself using the aforementioned shrine to travel back in time to islands that used to exist, saving them from whatever perils they faced, and then going back to the present to find them restored.

While DQVII does have a main plot hanging over all of this, in practice, it feels more like a short story collection than many other RPGs. Each island has a little narrative to tell that you can get through in an hour or two, and as a reward, you get to revisit the island again in the present to see how your actions in the past affected it. It's an innately captivating way to structure a game, and it makes DQVII Reimagined less intimidating.

Another aspect of DQVII that makes it stand out compared to later entries (like the also-excellent Dragon Quest XI) is that its story has a somewhat darker tone. You aren't always able to solve every person's problem cleanly. Several stories end in either outright tragedy or at least in a bittersweet fashion; one that really stuck with me involved going to the present to find the long-dead corpse of an inventor I helped in the past still being attended to by a robot that didn't understand the concept of death.

It's often sad without ever resorting to overly edgy tactics, and in a way that marries nicely to the late, great Akira Toriyama's colorful and personality-laden art direction.

It's exceedingly chill, almost to a fault I like the combat, but there's no denying that it can be pretty low-impact. Credit: Square Enix/Steam

The somewhat clashing narrative tone and bubbly character designs feel in keeping with Dragon Quest in general, as the whimsical, humorous vibe the series has always had also contradicts its nature as one of the definitive "sit back and watch numbers go up" video games.

DQVII carries forward the same basic turn-based combat the franchise has had since day one. The first-person perspective of the older games has long since been replaced by a more modern third-person view with excellent attack animations, but mechanically it's still a game about doing whatever you can to make the math work in your favor.

You can accomplish that either by grinding to become overpowered or by carefully outfitting your characters with certain gear that will make otherwise random battle effects occur more frequently. Either way, you're manipulating numbers in service of making bigger numbers pop out of enemies when you attack them.

I absolutely dig this approach, as do many other people, judging by the enduring popularity of Dragon Quest both in Japan and elsewhere. There's no denying, however, that I spent much of DQVII Reimagined with auto-battle turned on and the combat speed set to the max, essentially watching the game play out in front of me instead of actively participating in battles.

Arguably, this is how the series is meant to be played (of course, I turned off auto-battle for boss encounters), but I can also understand why modern gamers might question a game you barely play in the traditional sense.

Towns are rendered pretty gorgeously here. Credit: Square Enix/Steam

For me, the fun lies in constantly working towards something. DQVII Reimagined includes a similar job system to previous versions of the game. You can equip different character archetypes like Mage, Warrior, and Priest to any character you want, and the more time you spend with that job equipped, the more skills you unlock for it. Mastering certain combinations of jobs will even allow you to equip more advanced jobs with endearingly game-breaking abilities.

DQVII Reimagined makes one major change to this system, which is that after a point, you can equip two jobs to a character at the same time, reaping the benefits of both at once. This allows for greater flexibility in build-crafting (having a beefy tank who can also heal is self-evidently useful), but it also lets you level up jobs more quickly, granting access to end-game variants in an efficient manner.

I was honestly a bit shocked at how quickly you can master jobs and unlock new ones. You wind up not spending much time at all with any given job, which adds to the sense of mechanical variety, but does also make it feel more transparently like you're playing just to fill up a meter rather than fully engaging with specific combat roles for extended periods of time.

All of that combines with the lack of random encounters, as enemies now appear on the overworld. That means you can outright skip fights if you feel like it, which works to increase the pace of DQVII Reimagined. You can also swing a weapon at enemies in the overworld, and if your level is high enough relative to theirs, you'll instantly take them out right there instead of transitioning into a turn-based fight.

This is perhaps my least favorite gameplay mechanic in the remake, as I feel that it's balanced a bit too generously in the player's favor. I spent huge swaths of multiple late-game dungeons doing very little turn-based combat because I could just take out enemies that way instead.

I am rarely the type to complain about a game being too easy. I am an adult man who no longer has anything to prove to anyone. I generally just don't care about challenge in the traditional sense. But there's no denying that, by the end of DQVII Reimagined, I yearned a bit for the main story to offer more difficulty than it ultimately does. Still, the experience DQVII Reimagined provides is adequately pleasant and satisfying, putting it right in line with other games in the series.

As good as this remake is, it'll never feel complete These are really lovingly rendered takes on Akira Toriyama's character designs. Credit: Square Enix/Steam

Before we wrap up here, I do want to shout out the visual presentation in DQVII Reimagined. Toriyama's exceedingly charming character designs have been brought to life in full, luscious 3D, thanks to the use of physical models that the developers actually crafted and then scanned for use in the game.

The characters look fantastic, and all of the classic DQ monsters look as good as they ever have. It's a bright, colorful game full of verve everywhere you go, and some of the more modern visual additions, like depth-of-field effects, work to enhance the look. The PlayStation 5 version I played also performs flawlessly.

Lastly, I should mention that this version of DQVII only took me about 35 hours to complete. That's a significant reduction in time compared to other versions of this game, largely attributable to things like increased combat speed and being able to skip combat encounters. However, I should also note that at least a few islands and storylines from the original game have been scrapped entirely here, while others have been made optional.

It leaves me in a weird spot where I do sincerely really like this version of DQVII, but as someone playing it for the first time, I felt a little short-changed. I now want to go back to the original PS1 or even the 3DS remake to see what was removed. I applaud Square Enix for having the gall to make a shorter version of an infamously long game, but there's no question that this isn't really a definitive version of DQVII.

Still, even with those caveats, DQVII Reimagined is a great time and a fun way to kickstart 2026 for RPG fans who want something that goes down easy rather than a 100-hour juggernaut.

When Stray Kids launch into "Maniac," there's no such thing as easing in — and this exclusive clip from Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience captures that full-throttle moment in all its thunderous glory.

Filmed during the group's sold-out 2025 world tour stop at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the performance of "Maniac" is Stray Kids in peak form: dynamic choreography, explosive rap exchanges, and a stadium crowd roaring back every word. It's the kind of sequence that instantly transports you back into the sensory overload of a live show, where you can feel the bass in your chest and the lightsticks blur together.

And in the clip, it does.

Alongside massive stadium footage, the film offers behind-the-scenes glimpses into how Stray Kids construct these moments, revealing the planning and discipline behind what often looks effortless onstage.

Directed by Paul Dugdale, with documentary segments from Farah X, the film is built for immersion for fans and novices alike.

DJI also made this model especially appealing for night flying thanks to the 360 degree Nightscape Omnidirectional Sensing and Nighttime return-to-home function.

OK, so you're going to see a lot about Luther Vandross, Kendrick Lamar, Cher, and the Grammys on your feed today.

The setting? The 68th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night. The category? Record of the Year. The announcement? Here's what happened.

Onstage at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, Cher was about to present Lamar with his fifth Grammy of the night — an evening in which the rapper made history. Set to read out the winner for Record of the Year, the Goddess of Pop opened the prized envelope — however, she thought the winner would also be on the event's teleprompter. After a brief moment, she then read out the winner: Lamar's ballad with SZA, "luther."

But what Cher actually said was "Luther Vandross," naming the all-time music legend who passed away in 2005, prompting social media to erupt.

However, "luther" does have Vandross at its core, with the track sampling his 1982 hit with Cheryl Lynn "If This World Were Mine," which was a cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's 1967 duet.

The song, from Lamar's freshly Grammy-awarded 2024 album, GNX, was written by Lamar and SZA with Ink and Sam Dew, and produced by Sounwave, Kamasi Washington, Jack Antonoff, Scott Bridgeway, M-Tech, and roselilah. "luther" took home two Grammys on Sunday, including Record of the Year and Best Melodic Rap Performance.

During Sunday's acceptance speech, producer Sounwave paid tribute to Vandross, saying, "First and foremost, let's give a shout out to the late great Luther Vandross. It was very, very, very important to keep the integrity of this record."

Up next was Lamar, who also honoured Vandross, saying, "This is what music is about." (The artist did take a moment to say the artist's full name aloud with a smile, which felt like it cleared the Cher air.)

"This is special for me, I gotta take my time," he said. "Because it's one of my favorite artists of all time, and they granted us the privilege to do our version of it. When we got that clearance, I promise you, we damn near all dropped a tear because we know how much young miss Cheryl Lynn poured into that record. And being able to put our vocals over it, it proves that we were somewhat worthy to be just as great."

Lamar then thanked 68-year-old Lynn — "If you out there, listening, watching, we appreciate you," — and mentioned that the only proviso on using the sample for "luther" was no cursing.

Now, here's the part I want you to take away from the whole trending moment: SZA's speech. The artist thanked Lamar "for lifting me up," before giving the audience one hell of a moving reality check.

"What I really wanted to say is, please don't fall into despair," said SZA. "I know that right now is a scary time. I know the algorithms tell us that it's so scary and all is lost. There's been world wars, there's been plagues, and we have gone on. We can go on. We need each other."

Later on the red carpet, SZA was asked by Entertainment Tonight about Cher’s "Luther Vandross" moment and she put it straight, saying, "We share the frequency of the song, like, that’s his frequency that allowed us to win and allowed it to be memorable, so she's not wrong. And she’s from that era, she probably really knew Luther Vandross. 

"Of course, her brain and her energy is connecting that energy to the energy that we’re sharing," she added. "We’re mooching off of what Luther already gave us, so we’re grateful. I wish I could speak to him. Thank you, Luther."

Fresh off his historic Album of the Year win at the 2026 Grammys for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8 — a performance poised to become yet another culture-shifting moment on the world's biggest stage.

At the Grammys, the Puerto Rican superstar didn't shy away from politics, directly calling out U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with a pointed "ICE out" during his acceptance speech for Música Urbana Album. Now, as he prepares for one of the most-watched performances in the world, the question remains: Will Bad Bunny bring that same unapologetic message to the Super Bowl?

Bad Bunny's history of speaking out against ICE

If Benito does take on ICE at the Super Bowl, it wouldn’t be the first time. In a September 2025 interview with i-D magazine, he said concerns over potential ICE raids and the safety of his Latino and Puerto Rican fans were a key reason he excluded the United States from his 2025–2026 DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour.

"People from the U.S. could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world," he said. "But there was the issue that … ICE could be outside (my concert venue). And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about."

Instead, the artist staged a historic 31-date residency in Puerto Rico — one intentionally designed to prioritize local fans, keep ticket prices accessible, and inject more than $400 million into the island's economy. The decision underscored not only his connection to the island but also his ongoing concern for the communities most affected by immigration enforcement.

That awareness surfaced again during the Grammys telecast, when host Trevor Noah joked, "If things keep getting worse in America, can I come live with you in Puerto Rico?" Bad Bunny gently corrected him: "Puerto Rico is part of America." The moment landed lightly, but its implications were a reminder of Puerto Rico's complicated political status and the way Latinx communities are often treated as both central to and peripheral within American life.

His criticism of ICE has been consistent. Last June, Bad Bunny shared a video on his Instagram Story condemning federal agents operating in Puerto Rico, urging them to stop harassing people who were simply trying to work. With ICE operations intensifying under the Trump administration, his past comments suggest this activism is not a fleeting statement but a throughline in his career.

And as a Puerto Rican artist whose music openly celebrates the island, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Super Bowl stage became yet another place where he chooses to make that message heard.

Has Bad Bunny ever criticized President Trump?

While Bad Bunny has rarely named Donald Trump outright, his criticism of the former president — and the policies of his administration — has been clear. In 2024, the artist endorsed Kamala Harris for U.S. president, citing frustration with the Trump administration’s handling of Hurricane Maria and its devastating impact on Puerto Rico. He made the public endorsement in the wake of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist remarks about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, where the island was referred to as a "floating island of garbage."

His commentary has also surfaced through his music. On this past Fourth of July, Bad Bunny released the music video for "NUEVAYoL," a salsa tribute to the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York.

The visual features the singer perched atop the Statue of Liberty, who wears a Puerto Rican flag across her forehead like a bandanna. In the final moments, a Trump-like voice plays over a radio broadcast, issuing an imagined apology to immigrants. "This country is nothing without the immigrants," the voice says, naming Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, and Cubans in an unmistakable rebuke of Trump-era immigration rhetoric.

Tensions escalated further after the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl LX halftime performer. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem publicly criticized the decision, saying ICE agents would be "all over" the Super Bowl and suggesting the event should be reserved for "law-abiding Americans who love this country."

The following night, Bad Bunny addressed the backlash during his Saturday Night Live monologue. Speaking first in English, then in Spanish, he framed the moment as a collective victory for Latino communities in the United States, emphasizing their labor and cultural impact. "Our footprints and our contribution in this country," he said, "no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it." He closed with a pointed aside in English: "And if you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."

Trump himself responded dismissively when asked about Bad Bunny in October, telling NewsMax he had "never heard of him" and questioning why the NFL selected him as the halftime performer. Just last month, he told the New York Post that he would not attend Super Bowl LX, citing Bad Bunny and opening act Green Day as reasons. "I'm anti-them," Trump said, "I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."

We'll have to wait until Super Bowl Sunday to see if Benito responds.

So, will Bad Bunny mention ICE or Trump at the Super Bowl?

Whether or not Bad Bunny directly addresses politics at Super Bowl LX, the act of bringing Puerto Rican culture and its history to the world's biggest stage is itself a statement. For Bad Bunny, music and identity have always been inseparable, and this halftime show will surely be no exception.

Cue our protagonist searching for "six other knights to fight beside you" which, judging by Dunk's speech at the end of the episode, is no easy task.

Olivia Dean just won her very first Grammy, taking home Best New Artist at Sunday's ceremony.

The "Nice To Each Other" artist took the moment to thank her team, including longtime manager Emily Braham, before paying tribute to her family — Dean is British with Guyanese and Jamaican heritage.

"I'm up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant," she said onstage accepting her Grammy. "I'm a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. We're nothing without each other."

Bad Bunny was one of the big winners at the 2026 Grammy Awards, taking home the trophies for Best Música Urbana Album and Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.

During his acceptance speech for the former, the rapper and singer took a moment to address ICE, which has come under increasing criticism following the deadly shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by federal immigration agents.

"Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans," says Bad Bunny in the clip above.

"The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don't hate them, we love our people and we love our family. And that's the way to do it, with love."

Picking up the award for Song of the Year, Billie Eilish also criticised ICE during her acceptance speech.

Kendrick Lamar made history at the Grammys on Sunday, taking over Jay-Z's throne as the most awarded rapper at the annual music awards.

Now with 27 Grammys (Jay-Z has 25) and 66 nominations, Lamar took home five awards at this year's ceremony including Best Rap Album for GNX, Record of the Year for SZA collab "Luther" (which also won Best Melodic Rap Performance), Best Rap Song for "TV Off," and Best Rap Performance for Clipse's "Chains & Whips."

Last year, the artist took home all five of his nominations, with "Not Like Us" taking home Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Music Video.

"It's hip hop as usual, man" Lamar said during his acceptance speech for best Rap Album on Sunday. "I'm not good at talking about myself, but I express it through the music.

"Every time I tell you this: hip hop is gonna always be right here," he added. "We gonna be in these suits. We gonna be looking good. We gonna be having our folks with us. We're gonna be having the culture with us."
