Watch ‘Champion of All Athletes’ Flavor Flav Throw the First Pitch at Fenway Park on Easter
Flavor Flav has once again proven his dedication to sports. Flav joined the Boston Red Sox on Easter Sunday (April 5) to throw the first pitch at their game against the San Diego Padres at Fenway Park.
Though Flav is from New York, home to the Red Sox’s biggest rivals, the Yankees, he repped Boston through and through for the occasion. The rapper showed up decked out in a custom Flavor Flav Red Sox jersey, a red baseball cap and matching red pants. And, of course, in Flavor Flav fashion, he also made sure to wear a blinged out red, white and blue version of his signature giant clock necklace.
When Flav stepped out to the pitch, the announcer referred to him as “a champion of all athletes.” Unfortunately, his pitch was not enough to win the Red Sox the game as Boston lost to San Diego 8-6. Despite the loss, Flavor Flav let fans know that he had a great time the game. The Public Enemy cofounder shared an Instagram carousel with highlights from his time at Fenway Park. In one video, Flav high-fived every Red Sox player in their dugout. In his post, Flavor Flav also shared that he ran into a special friend of his.
“I ran into my girl [Jordan Raney] from the USA Olympic Water Polo team,” Flav said in the caption to the post, where he also included photos of himself hugging the Olympian.
The iconic rapper has famously been a big advocate and financial supporter of women’s sports. Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, the rapper offered to sponsor the U.S. women’s water polo team after learning that they were severely underfunded and members of the team were working multiple jobs to make ends meet. In July of that year, Flav officially inked a five-year sponsorship deal with both the women’s and men’s teams.
After this year’s Winter Olympics, Flav invited the gold medal-winning U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team to party with him in Vegas after Donald Trump made a dismissive joke about inviting the women to the White House in a conversation with the men’s team. He also joined the U.S. bobsled and skeleton teams at the Winter Olympics as their official hype man.

BINI Previews ‘Big Responsibility’ of Its Coachella 2026 Set & Breaks Down New EP ‘Signals’
If anyone needed another signal that BINI is about to break out big time, Coachella 2026 is your sign.
Just after releasing new EP Signals and music video for the single “Blush,” the Filipino girl group will see its docuseries hit Netflix just hours before the group performs on Friday (April 10) for the opening day of Coachella. The octet’s 4:15 p.m. PT set at the Mojave stage — in between fellow rising stars Slayyyter and Central Cee — marks a historic first with BINI’s debut marking the official arrival of a Philippines-based pop group’s performance at the influential tastemaker festival.
“We’re very aware that we are the first homegrown Filipino girl group to perform on the Coachella stage,” Maloi, one of BINI’s powerhouse vocalists, tells Billboard over a phone call in the midst of rehearsals. “The pressure will always be there, but we’ll take it on in a positive light for us to push further and to boost ourselves. And we know that there are a lot of people behind us who have our backs.”
Leader Jhoanna adds, “There’s definitely a responsibility — a big responsibility — but we don’t let it get into our heads. We don’t let it turn into pressure, we just see it as our purpose.”
BINI emphasizes that the group sees the opportunity as a way to further spotlight and open doors for more Filipino talent, with Jhoanna adding, “We take every moment and every stage as an opportunity for us to show what we have, what we prepared and what Filipinos got.”
The group also let out a loud cheer when noting how P-pop boy band SB19 will perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago this summer.
“ Everything that we’ve been doing from preparations to the final outcome will start to open doors for more Filipino talent,” singer-rapper Colet says, “because we have a lot!”
Just like the group’s music moves from the effervescent bubblegum pop of “Blink Twice” to heavy rhythmic dance on “Shagidi” and harmony-heavy ballads such as “Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi,” Signals ranges from festival-ready, feel-good tropical-pop tracks while also dipping into vintage beats such as Janet Jackson-inspired New Jack Swing on “Sugar Rush,” while “Step Back” winks to the ’00s pop and hip-hop production sound helmed by the Neptunes. BINI’s watchlist for Coachella is equally diverse, including the likes of Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, BIGBANG, Major Lazer, Labrinth, Fujii Kaze, Disclosure, Tinashe, PinkPantheress and KATSEYE, with the girls hoping that reports that surprise appearances from The Marias as well as Anyma bringing LISA of BLACKPINK prove true.
With a new record, docuseries premiere, festival debut and fresh music video all within days of each other, the group is hoping both new and longtime fans — affectionately known as BLOOM — can keep up with all the excitement.
“We have been asked if we are overwhelmed,” youngest member Sheena shares. “But it’s more like if other people will be overwhelmed because it’s such a jam-packed day on the 9th and 10th. Right now, we’re doing great. We’ve been here in L.A. for a week, so we’re pumped up. It’s not that cold, it’s not that hot, so I think it’s perfect — perfect for Coachella.”
Following BINI’s announcement as Billboard Philippines‘ Global Force honoree at Billboard‘s Women in Music 2026, read on for members Jhoanna, Maloi, Colet, Sheena, Aiah, Gwen, Stacey and Mikha exclusively break down Signals below.

Bruno Mars Kicks off The Romantic Tour in Las Vegas & Receives Key to the Strip on ‘Bruno Mars Day’
Bruno Mars kicked off The Romantic Tour on Friday night (April 10) with a sold-out show in front of more than 60,000 fans packing Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The pop supernova lived up to his billing as the King of Las Vegas entertainment as he ran through his plethora of smash hits within a 25-track setlist, which included five songs with his Silk Sonic running mate, Anderson .Paak, who joined him midway through the show.
If there’s one thing Sin City knows how to do, it’s throw a party. Friday was an all-day celebration for Bruno Mars ahead of his Romantic Tour launch.
“Bruno Mars isn’t just a global superstar; he’s one of the most electrifying performers of our time, and over the past decade, he’s become an integral part of Las Vegas,” said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and president of MGM Resorts International, in a statement. “From his early performances at Bellagio and MGM Grand to his record‑setting residency at Dolby Live, Bruno has drawn hundreds of thousands of visitors and has created the kind of unforgettable, ‘only in Vegas’ moments that define this city. It’s only fitting that we help launch his world tour here today as we honor his extraordinary impact on Las Vegas and the energy he brings to our community.”
Bruno started the day in style with a ride down the Strip in a vintage convertible for a parade honoring his contributions to the Las Vegas entertainment scene, as April 10 was renamed to Bruno Mars Day in Sin City.
The Grammy-winning artist was given the key to the Las Vegas Strip, while Park Avenue outside Park MGM was renamed to Bruno Mars Drive. He joins a decorated group to receive the honor, which includes Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.
As Las Vegas has been a lucrative endeavor for Bruno, he made sure to give back to the community. The singer-songwriter pledged a $1 million donation to the future Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital.
The Romantic Tour continues on Saturday night (April 11) when Bruno Mars returns to the Allegiant Stadium stage for another cinematic performance. It’s the 40-year-old’s first trek in nearly a decade and his first time taking over North American stadiums.
Bruno’s The Romantic album arrived in February and debuted atop the Billboard 200 — his second No. 1 — with 186,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending March 5, according to Luminate.
