Juice WRLD passed away from an accidental drug overdose at the age of 21 in December 2019, and now his posthumous album ‘The Party Never Ends’ is being prepared for release on November 29, with the new version of ‘All Girls Are The Same’ set to be included.

The single follows on from ‘Lace It’ last December, which featured contributions from Eminem and producer Benny Blanco.
In other Minaj news, she has confirmed that the final deluxe version of her 2023 album ‘Pink Friday 2’, titled ‘Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus’ will be out on December 13, roughly a year after the original’s release.
It will be the fourth version of the album to see an official release, while she has also teased the existence of a ‘Pink Friday 3’ as well.
In a four-star review of ‘Pink Friday 2’, NME wrote: “‘Pink Friday 2’ feels like a consolidation and refinement of everything Minaj can do – including dropping pop culture references that no other artist would think of. Thirteen years after ‘Pink Friday’, Nicki Minaj hasn’t lost her ability to catch us by surprise.”
Last month, the rapper also denied any rumours suggesting she will be going on a hiatus soon, saying that she “ain’t going no-mthfkn’-where”.

As for Halsey, she recently opened up about how she had felt “too scared” to sing about her father in music until now.
She released her fifth studio album ‘The Great Impersonator’ last month. In a full five star review NME wrote: “In many of the lyrics, there almost seems no chance for redemption. It’s through the music, much of it inspired by artists they were listening to during chemotherapy, that she finds empathy for herself,” it read. “‘Panic Attack’ compares falling in love to needing an antihistamine, but it’s hard to feel anxious over an arrangement with the warmth of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’.”
She also recently revealed an incident in which a “powerful” music executive went through her nudes on her phone without her consent. They shared that the experience left them feeling “demoralised”, adding: “I was just frozen…I didn’t even know what to do.”
