Beyoncé & JAY-Z's On The Run II Tour Earns Over $250M
Beyoncé and JAY-Z have been globetrotting for months as part of their On The Run II Tour. As a result, the billion- aire couple has raked in over $250 million. According to Billboard, the extensive run pulled in $253.5 million as re- ported to Billboard Boxscore.
The OTR II Tour kicked off on June 6 in Cardiff, Wales and wrapped up on October 4 at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. The proud parents of three performed a total of 48 sta- dium dates. London Stadium’s two-night engagement alone amassed $11 million with more than 125,000 tickets sold.

The OTR II Tour served as the sequel to the couple’s orig- inal On The Road Tour, which
launched in 2014. Throughout OTR II run,
Hov and his superstar wife performed material from their joint album EVERYTHING IS LOVE, which was like a musi- cal cap on their once-turbulent marriage.
Following allegations of Hov’s cheating, Beyoncé took her frustrations out on her 2016 solo album LEMON- ADE. In 2017, Jay put on his big boy pants and accepted the consequences on his own solo project 4:44.
Jay’s 4:44 Tour last year netted $44 million during its eight-week run.
Diddy Pledges $1M For New Bronx Charter School
Sean “Diddy” Combs is continuing his efforts to pro- vide more kids with a good ed- ucation. The Hip Hop mogul has announced the opening of a new charter school in the Bronx and pledged $1 million to the endeavor.
“I know from my own expe- rience that receiving a great ed- ucation makes a huge impact on a child’s future,” he wrote on Instagram. “I want our kids to have access to everything they need to succeed, in school and life. Which is why I’m also pledging $1,000,000 to help give our kids every advantage possible.”
The new charter, which is part of the Capital Preparatory
DIDDY
Schools network, will launch in 2019. Diddy previously helped to found the network’s first charter school in Harlem.
Cardi B Drops ‘Money’ Single
Although it was originally billed for release on Thursday (October 25), Cardi B has decided to release her new non-Invasion of Privacy sin- gle “Money” a couple days early.
The record also reunites Cardi with producer J. White, the soundman be- hind her chart-toppers “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It.”
“I was with her a couple weeks before she had her baby Kulture and she was in there still trying to go while

the baby was kicking,” White tells Complex about the making of the track. “I’m like, ‘Yo, when is it time to just lay down and kick your feet up? When is it time?’ Then I saw her a few weeks after she had the baby, in the same studio. She was back in the studio. I think she’s got- ten worse. She’s on her [Bill] Belichick right now.”
With 12 out of the 13 Inva- sion of Privacy tracks receiv- ing an RIAA nomination, Cardi’s penchant for hit- making is clear.
Drake Has Toppled Another Beatles Record
Drizzy’s guest spot on Bad Bunny’s “Mia” became his 12th song to reach the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018. The feat helped him to pass The Beatles’ previous mark of 11 for most Top 10 hits in a sin- gle year.
Earlier this year, Drake snapped The Beatles’ 54- year-old record for most simul- taneous Top 10 songs on the Hot 100. He dethroned Paul McCartney, George Harri- son and Ringo Starr’s long- standing achievement thanks to the massive streaming suc- cess of his double album Scor- pion.
Drake is approaching an- other Beatles benchmark on

the Hot 100 too. The OVO Sound head honcho is now just two tracks behind the leg- endary group for most Top 10 songs of all time.
The Beatles earned 34 Top 10’s during their historic run. Drake now sits at 32.
Flo Rida Ordered To Pay Back Child Support For Son He Labeled ‘Devil Child’
Flo Rida recently learned he has a couple of hefty legal bills to take of in regard to his “devil child” with ex Alexis Adams. According to legal documents obtained by Bossip, Judge Sara Atzmon ordered the veteran artist to continue paying $9,000 a month in child support payments for their son Zohar.
Flo must also come up with another $50,000 for Adams’ legal fees with $10,000 of that sum going towards legal fees from her previous attorneys and $40,000 being allotted to her current legal team.
“Often times it’s the party with the money that ends up paying the attorney’s fees,” Atzmon explained to Flo over a telephone call during the Bronx Family Court hearing. “It might not seem fair to you, it might not seem right to you, but she has to seek this peti- tion.”

In May, Flo made headlines when he referred to the dis- abled 2-year-old boy as a “devil child” and claimed he was “evil.” Zohar suffers from nu- merous health issues, including hydrocephalus, a neurological condition that required the child to undergo surgery.
A month later, a judge de- nied Flo’s attorney’s request to throw out the case.
Both parties are expected in court next week.
