Full List of 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards Winners

Awards season (whole entire year, really) continued on Thursday, May 27, with the return of the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Hosted by Usher (who hopefully wasn’t paid in Ush Bucks), the ceremony aired live out of the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. After last year’s broadcast was canceled due to the pandemic, the music awards show returned with a very 2021 category  for the first time, there are six contenders up for TikTok Bop of the Year, awarded based on fan votes.

Fresh off his big wins at the BBMAs, The Weeknd led the iHeartRadio nominees with eight nods, including for Song of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. He’s followed closely by Megan Thee Stallion and Roddy Rich, who received seven nominations each. Several artists are set to perform at the show, including The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Silk Sonic, Dan + Shay, and Doja Cat. Demi Lovato, Brandi Carlile, and H.E.R. will also take the stage with a musical tribute for Elton John, who received this year’s iHeartRadio Icon Award.

Eid al-Fitr 2021

Eid-ul-Fitr is one of the most important festivals among Muslims. This festival marks the end of the month of Ramadan when the Muslim community observes fasts (roza) for one entire month.

This festival is usually celebrated with much fervor among the Muslims. This year, however, there won't be any mass gatherings or big events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can still send best wishes to your friends, family members and colleagues on this day.

Eid Mubarak messages, wishes

    On this day, we should pay gratitude to Allah for all it has given to us. Eid Mubarak!

    No shadows to depress you, only joys to surround you, God himself to bless you, these are my wishes for you. Today, tomorrow, and every day. Happy Eid!

    Eid Mubarak! Wishing you a joyous celebration and shower of Allah's blessings.
    Happy Eid! May the great Allah prosper the works of your hands. Enjoy this joyous feast! Happy Eid-ul-Fitr 2021

    May you be blessed with the divine grace of Allah. On the occasion of this glorious festival, wish you happiness, peace and prosperity on Eid-ul-Fitr.

    Eid is a day of sharing and caring for others. Eid Mubarak!

    "There's a battle going on inside you in Ramadan, and for 30 days Allah gives you the power to win."-Nouman Ali Khan

    Best wishes to you and your family for a blessed Eid-ul-Fitr. Eid Mubarak!

    "Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality."-Barack Obama

SpaceX's Starship SN15 Prototype Has Successfully Landed

After many failed prototypes, SpaceX has finally managed its first successful landing sequence of the Starship prototype. SN15 took off earlier this Wednesday and returned to the launchpad in Boca Chica, Texas. The official live stream sees the Starship SN15 land in one piece, and though there was still a small methane fire at the base of the landing, there was no explosion in sight.

The spacecraft remained intact from start to finish. As Elon Musk prepares himself for hs appearance on Saturday Night Live, he took time out to announce to his followers of the success of the spaceship, tweeting “Starship landing nominal.” Previous launches have seen four Starship SN11s lost in its journey, while the SN10 exploded after landing too hard and crushing its legs. With the success of the SpaceX SN15, the company is inching closer to its vision of reusing Starships to fly to the ISS, the Moon, around Earth and elsewhere in space.

J. Cole Teases The Off Season Release

J. Cole has teased the release of his highly anticipated new project ‘The Off-Season’. The follow-up to 2018’s ‘KOD’ was expected to arrive last year, with Cole hinting in November that ‘The Fall Off’ would be released in 2020. However, the North Carolina rapper’s sixth studio album was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In December, Cole shared a rare Instagram post in which he gave fans an update on his forthcoming music plans.

Announcing what appeared to be three new projects, the Dreamville leader seemingly revealed that ‘The Fall Off’ will be preceded by two projects called ‘The Off-Season’ and ‘It’s A Boy’, the former of which looks like it’s about to be be released. Taking to his Instagram story last night (April 30), Cole expressed his excitement over the upcoming project. “Just rode through the city to The Off-Season. Dawg…,” he wrote with a facepalm emoji. “Too excited.” The news comes days after Dreamville rapper Bas revealed in a since-deleted Instagram post that ‘The Off-Season’ was coming in two weeks. “[Mind blown emojis] The Off-Season. pack your bags. [rocket emoji] in two weeks,” Bas wrote in the caption of a photo of J. Cole in the studio. Fellow Dreamville artist Cozz liked the post, seemingly confirming that the project will arrive this month. Originally announced when Cole dropped his ‘Album Of The Year’ freestyle back in 2018, some speculated that ‘The Off-Season’ was a way of describing Cole’s 2018-2019 feature run, however it now appears it is a full-blown project. In his December post, Cole also teased his retirement with the post’s caption: “I still got some goals I gotta check off for’ I scram…” Meanwhile, Cole teased the release of more new music in October by resurrecting his ‘kiLL edward’ moniker on social media.
