A ton of artists dropped music videos this week.
We got Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, Justin Timberlake,
SZA and Harry Styles.
My head is spinning with all these new releases,
but right now, I am really feeling
Gaga's new one "Stupid Love."
Let's dance along. Will you dance along with me
right here on Fresh Out Live?
Let's go.

Welcome to Fresh Out Live,
your destination for new music, unreal performances
and surprise drop-ins.
Now, speaking of drops, I can't forget about Lil Baby.
He just dropped his sophomore album My Turn this week.
Now, this album is said to be jam-packed with features, Kev,
from Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Moneybagg Yo and many more.
Now, I can't wait to get the tea on the new album
when he comes to pull up on us next week to chop it up.
-(cheering, applause) -Now, Lil Baby gave us just a taste
as to what we can expect on this album
with his single "Sum 2 Prove."
Well, Lil Baby, while you're busy proving it,
we'll be busy playing it. (chuckles)
And speaking of Lils, everybody is excited for Lil Tecca's
highly anticipated new album Virgo World,
-which is on the way. -(cheering, applause)
He's got a huge fan base and has made so many strides
in the past year since we last sat down with him.
-Absolutely. -And so, rightfully so, he is MTV's
Push Artist for the month of March.
Let's take a look.
♪ I got lots of shawties trying to pull up to my place ♪

(cheering, applause)
Little taste of SnowGlobe Fest right there.
-It's a bop, it's a bop, it's a bop. -Yeah.
Uh, and this week, Taylor Swift
making huge news, releasing the music video
for her highly anticipated new single "The Man."
She's showing off total, uh, crazy amount of talent here.
-Mm-hmm. -Directed it, wrote it, starred in it, of course,
and the visuals are really incredible, if you've seen it.
She underwent prosthetics and transformed into a literal man.
That's her you're seeing on your screen behind us.
-Pretty hot. Maybe? -And, uh, she's breaking down...
Uh, hey. She's breaking down gender roles,
-and I am definitely here for this. -Yeah.
So, just so cool to see Taylor just, uh, just grow even more
on that side, behind the camera, I should say.
And, uh, Gaga officially back in our lives.
-(cheering, applause) -They're loving it here in New York City.
She dropped a music video for her highly anticipated single
"Stupid Love," and she looks and sounds fantastic.
-We are so glad that Mother Monster is back. -Yes.
And finally, finally, we got Justin Timberlake
and SZA's collab on "The Other Side."
-(cheering, applause) -Now, the music video
has no dancers-- it's just those two powerhouses rocking out.
But don't... Come on, JT.
You know I got the moves, baby,
so call me if you need a little backup.
-Mill... -You in the next clip, man.
-Come on, you and I. -I could see you on the remix,
-right there. -I know you can see me in the lights.
-Yeah. -Come on, Kev.
-(both laugh) -All right, last but certainly not least,
our guest of honor Doja Cat...
-Yeah! -(cheering, applause) -...dropped "Say So."
Can you tell she's in the house?
The music video's going crazy.

-Shorts. -Don't do me like that.
Shorts.
-You serving me today. -She's showing lots of skin.
-(cheering, applause) -Hello there.
And you're working every inch of it.
Got to be careful with this dress.
Don't she look good, Kev?
Doja looks amazing. Welcome back, Doja.
It's great to see you again.
-Thank you. -You've been on such a meteoric rise.
I mean, it's probably just a couple months
since you've been at MTV, but it's felt probably like years
for you with how much you've accomplished.
-Congratulations on "Say So." -Thank you so much.
-It's been out. You guys been loving it? -(cheering, applause)
The song's been out ever since you dropped Hot Pink, Doja,
but it really took off thanks to this TikTok challenge.
It's cool you put Haley Sharpe in the video there.
Gave her her praise, of course, her flowers.
-Yes. Yeah. -Um, what was it like
watching this just go crazy on TikTok?
I-I... One, thank you, Haley.
I love you so much.
I wish she was here.
Um, I am so excited about this.
I'm so excited about the success that it's made.
I didn't know people like disco so much.
-Yeah. -(laughter)
Okay. Let's take it back to the '70s.
Um, but that's really, really cool.
I-I'm... I'm so grateful, and it feels great.
-Feels really, really great. -KENNEY: You mentioned disco.
I love the '70s vibes of the visuals
you gave us with "Say So."
Why was that the creative direction you wanted to take?
Um, it just felt like a disco song.
And also, the "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."
That, you can't not wear an Afro
in the video if you're doing that.
-Like, you have to... -You got to go full-out.
Now, first of all, congratulations,
because I don't know if you know this,
but your tour sold out in two hours.
-And I'm talking about the Hot Pink Tour. -(cheering)
-That's crazy. -Now, now, I have to ask you,
you are known for some pretty amazing visuals.
How are you going to take those visuals from your video...
-It's crazy. -Look at... -(cheering continues)
How are you going to incorporate
your video performances live onstage?
Are we gonna get that Doja Cat vibe?
-Absolutely. -Okay.
No, I have a choreographer now.
-(laughs) -'Cause I love you guys,
and I'm not gonna be going back and forth
and twerking all the time.
No more of that. She's dancing now.
Now, I-I have to jump into it, because speaking of just...
you know, your tour, you're sharing the stage
with some phenomenal women.
And you know I have to twatch you and watch you on IG.
-Twatch me! -Now, and... (laughs)
And I... and I-I watch you talk about how artists
in the entertainment is pitting
female artists against each other,
so why is it so important that you're using your platform
to put other female rappers on and give them a chance to shine?
I think it's important to put women on...
to give them a... to...
the opportunity to get their bag and express themselves.
But I picked them 'cause I like them.
I think they're very talented,
and I think they deserve it because of their talent.
Um, can I say the girl... can I say "BigKlit" on TV?
-(laughter) -KENNEY: Uh, I think you just did.
MUSTAFA: I think you said it.
-Oops. We're live-live. -MUSTAFA: Yes.
And who else you have?
You have BigKlit. Who-who else you have joining you?
-And then we have Ashnikko. -Okay, beautiful.
Who's amazing. Yeah.
KENNEY: So cool. Awesome. Looking forward to that.
We need you on, like, a "Stupid Boy" remix, by the way, Doja.
-Yes. Yeah. -I'm just putting that out into the universe.
Can we? Can we?
Maybe. Ashnikko, if you're watching.
-Now, we want to do something... -C-Can we?
-When we have a big... -(audience cheering)
"Stupid boy think that I need him."
Ball's in your court, Ashnikko.
Um, we wanted to play a game with you,
because when we have a star like you on,
you can't just do a straight interview,
so we thought we would play
a game called "This or That with Doja Cat."
All right, there's gonna be rapid-fire questions, toss-ups.
-Are you ready? -Yes. -Are you ready?
-All right, here we go. -Let's do it.
Toss-up number one, this or that:
"Juicy" or "Say So"?
Oh, don't do that.
"Say-say Juicy"?
-Okay, Instagram Live or TikTok. -"Suicy."
-Uh... -Instagram Live or...
-Instagram Live! Instagram. -Okay, go.
Big concerts or intimate performances?
Ooh, big concerts.
'Cause everybody gets to, you know...
Everybody has a role.
Okay, Doja, it's rapid-fire, girl.
Are you going with latex or... (purrs) fur?
-Ooh, latex. -Okay.
Pizza or pasta, Doja?
-Wh-What? Pa... -Pizza or pasta?
Pizza or pasta? Pizza.
Tia or Tamera?
Ti... Ooh, don't do that.
-I'm gonna get in trouble. Tamera. -(laughter)
And last one-- dream collab, Drake or Erykah Badu?
(stammers) Oh, don't do that.
Oh, you gotta, you gotta. It's Fresh Out Live. You gotta.
-Drarykah Badu. -(laughter)
Doja Cat, thank you so much for stopping by.
"Say So" is out. It's going crazy.
Stream it. Hot Pink is available.
-Thank you. Thank you. -The tour is on sale, of course.
Fresh Out Live, the place to be.
You never know who's gonna stop by
live at 5:00 p.m. every week.
Lil Baby's in next week.
Have a great weekend.
For Jamila, I'm Kevan Kenney. Peace.
