Big Sean and E-40’s ‘I Don’t F*** With You’ is now certified Diamond

Big Sean and E-40’s ‘I Don’t F*** With You’ is now certified Diamond


Big Sean and E-40 came together earlier this week to celebrate the Diamond certification of their hit song, “I Don’t F*** With You.”

The track, which was released in September 2014, was certified by the RIAA on Wednesday. The rappers celebrated with a rooftop dinner, where they were presented with plaques and a cake. Posting a video of the event on Instagram, Sean described the moment as a “Rare celebration, rare occasion,” during which they discussed “how it all went down.”

“Congratulations to you, congratulations to our families because it’s something that’s so special, you know what I’m saying, is so organic. It’s so natural how it all happened,” Sean told E-40 over dinner. “This song has just been carried over the ages, has carried over the years … it go Platinum like ever year.”

“It just is a true testament, how much of the soundtrack it’s been for a lot of people,” he continued.

E-40 recalled reaching out to Sean, only to learn he had a record in mind for the two of them. He also remembered Kanye West adding his production to the track.

Elsewhere in the convo, Sean hinted at a future collaboration, adding, “It’s to the point that obviously we gon’ do another song.”

He also reflected on how meaningful the moment was, recalling how he grew up in Detroit, was introduced to E-40’s music by his stepbrother and eventually got to work with the rap star.

“To imagine going from there to not just doing the song but it being such a colossal song,” he said.

“I Don’t F*** With You” was the lead single on Sean’s 2015 album, Dark Sky Paradise.

Mariah Carey’s ‘Daydream: 30th Anniversary Edition’ is out now: ‘an era of firsts for me’


Mariah Carey is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her 1995 album, Daydream, which, she writes on Instagram, “marked an era of firsts for me.”

“My first rap collaboration on the iconic ‘Fantasy’ remix with O.D.B., my first time working with [Jermaine Dupri], my first world tour, my first time directing a music video on my own, and so many more,” she continues.

An expanded digital 30th anniversary edition is out now, featuring some unique bonus tracks.

“It’s only fitting to include some ‘firsts’ on this anniversary edition too!” Mariah writes. “Most notably, this is the first time I’ve ever agreed (or rather, been convinced) to release my private writing sessions for ‘I Am Free’ … and ‘Melt Away’ … . I hope you enjoy this lil’ glimpse into the making of these songs.”

New remixes, plus live versions of hits like “Always Be My Baby,” “Fantasy” and “One Sweet Day,” round out the package.

On Oct. 16, the package will be available as a 3 LP or 2 CD set. The vinyl includes Mariah’s full 1995 concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden, as well as a number of tracks making their vinyl debuts. You can preorder those now.

A limited-edition single LP pressed on baby pink vinyl will be available exclusively on Amazon and is also available for preorder. Fans can also listen to an exclusive track-by-track explanation recorded by Mariah for the original Daydream album.

Daydream has been RIAA-certified 11 times Platinum. Among its #1 hits was “Fantasy,” the first song by a female artist ever to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100. A “Making of ‘Fantasy'” featurette, which goes behind the scenes of the song’s iconic video, premieres on Mariah’s YouTube channel July 20 at 10 a.m. ET.

Mýa channels ’80s vibes in ‘Give It to You’ music video, talks collaborating with DJ D-Nice

Mýa channels ’80s vibes in ‘Give It to You’ music video, talks collaborating with DJ D-Nice


Mýa is taking fans back with the new music video for “Give It to You” featuring D-Nice.

The visual finds Mýa enjoying a beach day with her friends, admiring the scenery and showing off some choreography.

“A little Beat Street, Vanity 6, & Lisa Lisa Cult Jam inspo, with a little campy, fun in the California sun,” the video’s description reads.

“Give It to You” appears on Mýa’s 10th studio album, Retrospect, which was released in May. Though DJ D-Nice is credited as a feature, Mýa told ABC Audio he serves as “more of the host” of the project.

She said her manager, L. Londell McMillan, suggested bringing in D-Nice “because he comes from this era” and “his sets sound” like her album.

“He’s a reputable, well-known, legendary O.G. DJ in this game that also kept us alive in this pandemic through — what? — good times in music and specific eras that we could find our joy in,” Mýa said. “I also thought that was a very wonderful element to include because it was very cohesive with the whole intention of this album.”

Reflecting on Retrospect, Mýa says she hopes listeners embrace authenticity and aging, and that she brings them joy.

“It gets greater later,” she says. “My vocals [are] on point, the harmonies [are] on point, the ad-libs, I’m just, I’ve grown of course vocally.”

She adds that she hopes the album evokes special memories, whether it’s a first love or discovering confidence on the dance floor.

Mýa describes the project as “mainly and intentionally a joyful album” that bridges old-school and new-school sounds. She notes it also pays tribute to Prince, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

The “Give It to You” video, directed by Josh Sikkema and co-directed by Derek Brown, is available on YouTube.

Music Notes: Tinashe, B2K and Rick Ross


Tinashe has a new album on the way. Popstar, the follow-up to 2024’s Quantum Baby, is set to arrive on Sept. 25. She announced the news on Instagram Thursday, following the release of its preview single, “Crash Out.” According to Apple Music, the new album is comprised of 16 songs. 

The countdown to B2K’s new single, “Mileage,” will soon come to an end, as the song is set to drop on Friday.
“The mileage wasn’t about the distance… it was about the growth,” reads a joint Instagram post from members Omarion, J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz. “We’ve lived, learned, fallen, risen, and kept moving forward. That’s what this record represents.” The group previewed the song during their Verzuz competition against Pretty Ricky.

Following LeBron James departure from the Los Angeles Lakers, Rick Ross has made his case for the baller to return to the Miami Heat. “I’m talking from a boss’s perspective,” he told TMZ Sports. “The boss move is for LeBron to come to Miami, where the most billionaires are at. Because of his brand.” Ross continued, “I want to see him make some of the biggest empires and put his logos on some of those new big buildings downtown in Miami. And do more business with the billionaires that’s down there.” Ross’ album Set in Stone drops Friday.

The two are then seen confronting a group of men before attacking them with bats.

“This moment right here is when we start dreaming. It’s about proving to ourselves that we can do this s*** on our own,” he continues, as the teaser cuts to a meeting with Kanan Stark, played by Mekai Curtis.

The clip then returns to Tommy and Ghost in the car. “This how legends get made,” Ghost says. Tommy lets out a “whoo” before Ghost adds, “I don’t know if I actually believe all that s*** I just said, but it sounded so f****** dope coming out my mouth.”

Power: Origins is currently in production in New Jersey. The series picks up after the events of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which drops its finale on Aug. 7.

The original Power starred Omari Hardwick as Ghost, Joseph Sikora as Tommy and executive producer 50 Cent as Kanan.
