Justin Bieber’s Purpose Tour just got that much better, as the ‘What Do You Mean?’ singer added ATL rap trio, the Migos, and Chicago’s Vic Mensa to his big summer stadium tour.
Kicking things off this month, on July 29th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, the Purpose Tour will make stops in Toronto, New York, Minneapolis, the Rose Bowl and more. With support from two of the most exciting rap acts together, you’ll surely want to get your tickets fast before they are all gone.

During their scheduled flight from Atlanta to Des Moines on Friday, the Migos were thrown off a Delta flight, and the ATL trio’s manager is saying it was all due to racial profiling.
According to TMZ, the captain of the aircraft made the decision to kick off Takeoff, and Quavo, Offset and their manager joined him to show their support. Migos’ manager told TMZ that the group was in first class and fell asleep, but Takeoff’s luggage was on the floor and not in the overhead bin, as required.
Delta reports that Takeoff would not follow their instructions, and as a result he was kicked off the flight. Delta cries unruly passenger but the Migos cry racial profiling. Would this incident have played out the same way if Bono’s bag wasn’t overhead?
Things got very uncomfortable at the BET Awards when the Migos paid a visit to Complex News‘ “Everyday Struggle” cast yesterday.
After Joe Budden interrupted his co-host, DJ Akademiks, to say that they needed to wrap up the interview, the ‘Pump It Up’ rapper was apparently fed up with Akademiks giving praise to the Migos, who called the ATL trio, “one of (his) favorite groups.”
At that point, the one-hit-wonder shook his head, got up and left. To no surprise, Migos didn’t take kindly to the disrespect and got up to confront Joe Budden. As tensions began to rise, things were eventually broken up. This is already the second time this month that the Everyday Struggle cast struggled to keep their guests cool. Days ago, Vic Mensa and DJ Akademiks had a heated discussion over Akademik’s disrespect to Chicago and the city’s violence.

Nobody was safe in Chicago last night, as some of the biggest names in rap today ravaged through the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL, just minutes outside of the Windy City. Bringing the ATL to Chicago, with headlining performances from Future and the Migos, fans at the Nobody Safe Tour last night also saw supporting sets from artists like A$AP Ferg, Tory Lanez and Zoey Dollaz, an impressive lineup from top to bottom.
Kicking things off for the Illinois crowd was Freebandz‘s own Zoey Dollaz, who just last month dropped his new 12-track mixtape which shares a name with the tour, and has features from Future, PnB Rock and more. “The inspiration for the mixtape is just something we got from this upcoming tour,” Dollaz told XXL. Dollaz opening set included performances of his tracks ‘Blow A Check’ and Bad Tings’.
Next up was the A$AP Mob’s A$AP Ferg, who stepped in big time for the tour after rapper Kodak Black was removed from the tour due to his recent legal troubles. And while Kodak Black is certainly one of the more entertaining rappers in 2017, the addition of A$AP Ferg was praised by fans everywhere. Ferg continued to warm up the crowd with a 20-minute set full of songs like ‘Shabba’, ‘Hella Hoes’ and ‘Work’.
Keeping things on a high note, Tory Lanez blessed the crowd with one of his always entertaining performances. Going back-and-forth between his rap songs for the fellas in the crowd and his R&B jams for the ladies of Chicago, and even taking time to dive into the crowd, as they lifted him up to the sky, Tory Lanez killed it and made his case for headlining the Amphitheatre one day.
With energy levels at a high, the Migos were met with screams throughout the crowd as the Atlanta trio began their 75-minute set, performing a number of tracks from their new LP, Culture, as well as some of their fan favorites from throughout the past half-decade. While Quavo, Offset and Takeoff had the audience dabbing and dancing throughout their performance, highlights of their set included their performances of ‘Look At My Dab’ and ‘Bad and Boujee’. Many may argue that it’s just a matter of time before Quavo, who has given solo features to a number of big hits for various artists this past year, goes solo, but don’t expect those predictions to come to life as Migos, as an entire collective, has an unmatched stage presence that leaves audiences wanting more and last night was no exception.
Then, just as you’d think the night couldn’t get anymore wild, Future Hendrix greeted his Chicago fans to close out the night. And when you’re headlining a night supported by the Migos, as he did a few weeks ago at Rolling Loud and now on the Nobody Safe Tour, not only is that high praise but it’s a tough challenge to follow one of the biggest rap groups of the past decade. And last night Future was certainly up for the challenge, and the Dirty Sprite rapper succeeded and then some.
Future kept the crowd engaged with a catalog of his number one hits, B-sides and fan favorites, and when you have two albums from 2017 alone, and 100+ tracks from his mixtapes and albums since 2010, you have plenty of tracks to choose from. The night wouldn’t have been complete though without some must-hear songs, including ‘Too Much Sauce’, ‘Move That Dope’, ‘Mask Off’ and ‘Draco’, just to name a few. And if performances from Zoey Dollaz, A$AP Ferg, Tory Lanez, Migos and 20-tracks from Future weren’t enough, Future returned to the stage after his set for a memorable encore performance. Fans got their money’s worth early in the night, but mega acts in rap like Migos and Future made the night one that Tinley Park won’t forget anytime soon.

Saturday Night Live concluded its 42nd season with a big finale last night, hosted by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Katy Perry stole the show with her performances of ‘Bon Appétit’ with the Migos and her new (rumored) Taylor Swift diss track, ‘Swiss Swiss’.
As a self-diagnosed “details freak”, Perry definitely didn’t go with a traditional SNL performance with the famous Grand Central backdrop, rather Perry laid across a huge table of fruit with the Migos for ‘Bon Appétit’ and sang on a runway filled with drag queens and “backpack kid” for ‘Swish Swish’.
Watch Perry’s Saturday Night Live performances of ‘Bon Appétit’ and ‘Swish Swish’ below.
After debuting the new single earlier this month, Katy Perry has shared her music video for her Migos-assisted track, ‘Bon Appétit’. The follow up to her comeback single, ‘Chained To The Rhythm’, ‘Bon Appétit’ will have fans both hungry and thirsty, with the new visuals.
If you haven’t yet, download the new collaboration now on iTunes and stay tuned, as it’s just a matter of time until Perry announces her next LP, her first album since Prism in 2013. And if fans are lucky, hopefully a world tour will soon follow.

Childish Gambino and Migos fans have been patiently awaiting for an epic collaboration between the Georgia artists, and it just may be in the works. Many first started to speculate that a collaboration was in the works when Donald Glover (Gambino) recruited Quavo for his FX series “Atlanta”. Quavo stole the show, and we all began to imagine what a Migos x Gambino track would sound like.
Next, the friendship strengthened when Glover gave a big shout-out to the Migos’ ‘Bad and Boujee’ single at the Golden Globes, instantly boosting the single to a number one record. Not long after, the Migos confirmed that a Childish Gambino collaboration is definitely happening. And it may be happening now, as Quavo shared a picture of the Migos with Gambino in a London studio.
While we can’t confirm that the four are working on a collaborative track or project or none of the above, we are excited at the strong possibility none-the-less!
Check out the photo of Gambino and the Migos in the studio below.

And if you aren’t yet familiar, Rolling Loud will take place next month at Miami’s Bayfront Park from May 5th through the 7th. The festival is all ages and rain or shine, and no matter what the conditions Rolling Loud is the place to be next month.
