Headline: Explosive Hip-Hop Feuds and Music Industry Shakeups: Your Weekly Roundup

Hip-hop is ablaze this week with a surge of high-profile feuds capturing the genre’s spotlight. The enduring rivalry between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B has reignited, surging from a subtle jab about album discounts into a storm of public mockery and deeply personal attacks, with both artists trading barbs on social media that quickly escalated to involve their families and inspired widespread commentary from industry figures and fans alike, according to HipHopCultureNow. The drama doesn’t stop there: Yung Miami of City Girls called out South African star Tyla for allegedly copying her yet-unreleased anthem "Take Me to Chanel," a dispute intensified by Tyla’s silence and the impending release of her own track titled "Chanel." Even the Gen Z underground isn’t immune, with former collaborators fakemink and Nettspend parting ways amid cryptic posts and social media unfollows, unsettling their niche fanbases and halting expected joint projects.

October also sees a flood of new music across genres. Music-Tracker.com reports 138 new releases, including Michael Patrick Kelly’s "Traces," Kodak Black’s "Just Getting Started," and Florence + the Machine’s "Everybody Scream," all out on October 31. Consequence adds that listeners can also expect new records from Anna von Hausswolff, Black Polish, and even a deluxe reissue from Blondie, plus a fresh installment of Bob Dylan’s famed Bootleg Series. Weatherboys, a rising rock band from Tallahassee, get a local spotlight with their energetic track "Nosedive," featured as WMNF’s Song of the Day.

The business side of music continues to shift. Simkins LLP updates listeners that Universal Music notched a win in the Netherlands over royalty disputes, while Lizzo faces new copyright suit challenges. Meanwhile, Spotify has raised subscription prices for UK users and rolled out new "venue favouriting" features to connect fans with live events—and also secured a patent for automated song mashups. The AI wave is ever-present, as YouTube now contributes an annual $8 billion to the industry and just debuted a tool to detect deepfakes, while both OpenAI and artist marketing platforms pursue their own music-focused AI innovations. Legal discussions continue to swirl about AI’s use in music, highlighted by Australia’s decision against exempting AI training from copyright law and new lawsuits targeting generative tools Suno and Udio.

Not everything is rosy: NME confirms Standon Calling festival is shutting down due to financial woes, reflecting persistent challenges within live music. But some partnerships bloom, with VENU and Primary Wave Music announcing new collaborations to bring iconic music catalogs and artist-inspired events to venues nationwide.
