For her devoted fanbase, the wait for new music has been long, occasionally frustrating, and filled with false hope, so when Rihanna does anything that hints at a comeback, the internet takes notice. Her latest moment came when she reshared a video from Whitney Rose, a cast member on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, who humorously pointed out just how long it has been since Rihanna last dropped an album. The repost was simple, but it was enough to set social media alight, with fans flooding timelines with a familiar wave of memes, jokes, and cautious optimism about her long-awaited ninth album, widely known as R9. 👀 @rihanna reposts Whitney Rose saying she needs new Rihanna music.“I feel attacked!!!” pic.twitter.com/fHtqRS9LKX— FentyStats (@FentyStats) May 27, 2026 To be fair, Rihanna has hardly been sitting still. Since Anti, she has built Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty into hugely successful global brands, headlined the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, and started a family with rapper A$AP Rocky, welcoming sons RZA in 2022 and Riot in 2023. Still, for fans who have been waiting a decade for new music, even a light hearted repost is enough to keep the hope alive. Most are taking the moment for what it is, a fun interaction rather than a major announcement, but that has never stopped anyone from dreaming that R9 might finally be closer than it seems. 2026-05-28T11:52:10.000Z https://www.flava.co.nz/shows/flava-breakfast-with-klee-azura-charlie/throwback-thursday-charlie-hadz-rap-juicy/ https://www.flava.co.nz/shows/flava-breakfast-with-klee-azura-charlie/throwback-thursday-charlie-hadz-rap-juicy/ Throwback Thursday 🎤 Biggie's birthday meets NZ Music Month watch Charlie and Hadz rap 'Juicy', the Notorious B.I.G. classic covered by Che Fu 🔥 Check out the cover here 👇 Follow us on Facebook , Instagram, and TikTok to catch every laugh, guest, and moment with K'Lee, Azura & Charlie.

Speaking on a quarterly earnings call, Adam said all conversations with relevant parties are going "exceptionally well," and hinted the sequel may not be chronological: "We can go forwards or backwards in telling this story." The original film, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson, was a huge box office hit; ending on the words "His Story Continues" and leaving audiences hungry for more. Adam says there's no shortage of material to celebrate: "There is a ton of incredibly entertaining Michael Jackson story, and much of the biggest and most popular parts of his music catalogue that were not touched upon in the first film. We're very, very confident that we've got an incredibly entertaining movie that will appeal once again to a global audience." No release date has been announced for Michael 2 yet. The sequel is still in early development, with filming potentially beginning in late 2026 or 2027 depending on director Antoine Fuqua's availability. So, it's likely a 2028 release at the earliest. The first film, Michael, came out on April 24, 2026 - so it's already in cinemas now if you haven't seen it!

Of Niuean and Māori descent, Che Fu rose to prominence through the 1990s Tāmaki Makaurau hip hop scene, scoring a number one hit with Chains before releasing his critically acclaimed debut 2B S.Pacific in 1998. His follow-up album Navigator debuted at number one, won five Tūī awards and the 2002 APRA Silver Scroll - and turns 25 this year, marked by a limited edition silver vinyl reissue on 22 May. A pioneer of conscious hip hop in Aotearoa, Che Fu was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2009 and received the Pacific Music Awards Lifetime Achievement award in 2014. The ceremony will be livestreamed via RNZ, with Che Fu and his band The Kratez performing a live medley of his most iconic tracks on the night. 2026-05-18T09:28:45.916Z https://www.flava.co.nz/the-latest/rotoruas-newest-cafe-to-operate-entirely-in-te-reo-m%C4%81ori/ https://www.flava.co.nz/the-latest/rotoruas-newest-cafe-to-operate-entirely-in-te-reo-m%C4%81ori/ Rumaki Café in Rotorua is set to open as Aotearoa’s first full immersion te reo Māori café, where English will not be spoken. Founded by executive director Miraka Davies, the idea was developed three years ago to create an everyday space where te reo Māori is naturally used. Located on Fenton St in the former Kai Caff Aye site, the café will require both staff and customers to use te reo Māori for all interactions, from ordering at the counter to communicating in the kitchen. Davies says that while other cafés in New Zealand are bilingual, Rumaki takes things further by committing fully to the language in a commercial setting. The café aims to be inclusive, welcoming people of all backgrounds and language levels. Customers will be supported through tools such as visual indicators showing their fluency level, ranging from beginners to advanced speakers, and QR codes linking to translations, phrases, and pronunciation guides. Staff will also help visitors practise and improve their reo. Davies, who did not grow up speaking te reo Māori, said her own learning journey inspired the concept. After completing a year-long immersion course, she recognised the lack of opportunities to use the language in everyday life. Rumaki was created to address that gap and help normalise te reo Māori in daily spaces. Opening on July 30, the café hopes to encourage more people to use and sustain te reo Māori as a living, spoken language.

When Stand Up dropped in 2003, it didn’t stay contained for long. It moved quickly through the country, finding its way into everyday life. You’d hear it in cars outside dairies, through blown-out garage speakers, at school socials, in sports sheds before training. It settled into shared moments and became part of how people experienced music at the time. Then Not Many arrived, and its reach deepened. The hook travelled across different spaces and audiences, embedding itself into the country’s collective memory. Even people outside hip hop circles knew it word for word. It became familiar because it was everywhere. At that time, New Zealand’s music landscape leaned heavily toward rock, with international sounds shaping what “big” looked like. Hip hop was present, carried forward by artists like Che Fu, King Kapisi, and 3 The Hard Way, but it was still building its space within the mainstream. Hip Hop Artist Scribe accepts the Tui award for Song writer of the year along with P Money and Savage at the New Zealand Music Awards, 2004. (Photo by Sandra Teddy/Getty Images) Scribe entered with a voice grounded in Aotearoa, shaped by his identity as a Samoan New Zealander. Born Malo Luafutu in Christchurch, his delivery felt natural, local, and familiar, especially for Māori and Pasifika listeners. It reflected real life here, with no shift for overseas appeal. His early years were shaped in Christchurch’s community spaces and underground scenes, surrounded by artists and collaborators like Kuru Apriana, Beats and Pieces, and DJ Ali. These were environments built on connection, where identity and creativity intertwined, and where young Māori and Pasifika artists were carving out space for themselves in their own way. A move to Auckland as a teenager marked a turning point. Entering a city with a strong Pasifika presence, particularly in South Auckland, deepened that connection to culture and community. It also placed him closer to a growing wave of artists who were beginning to define their own sound and narrative within New Zealand music. It was there that Scribe began refining his craft with intent, forming key relationships, including his partnership with producer P-Money. Producer P Money and Hip Hop artist Scribe arrives at the New Zealand Music Awards , 2004. (Photo by Sandra Teddy/Getty Images) Together, they built a sound that carried both weight and clarity. Early tracks like Sunshine circulated through underground circles and gained recognition, hinting at something larger taking shape. When Stand Up arrived, it landed with impact. The production was clean and commanding, and Scribe’s delivery met it with confidence and authority. The track reached number one, marking a turning point in how New Zealand hip hop could exist in the mainstream. That momentum carried into The Crusader later that year. The album flowed naturally into everyday life across the country, playing through homes, cars, parties, and shared spaces. It wasn’t just heard, it was lived alongside. View this post on Instagram A post shared by p_money (@p_money) For many Māori and Pasifika listeners, Scribe’s presence held deep weight. It wasn’t framed as representation, but it was felt as it. Seeing someone with a similar cultural background stand firmly at the centre of mainstream success, without reshaping who they were, created a sense of recognition that resonated beyond the music. At the same time, Dawn Raid Records was building momentum from South Auckland. A collective rooted in Pacific identity and community, it created opportunities for artists to tell their own stories, in their own voices. Scribe stood within this wider cultural shift, part of a generation redefining what New Zealand music looked and sounded like. As his profile grew, attention followed. The focus began to widen beyond the music, bringing visibility to the pressures and realities that came with rapid success. Conversations expanded to include mental health, addiction, and the personal challenges that unfolded in public view. His story became more layered over time, shaped by both achievement and struggle. Today, that impact continues to sit across both. When Not Many plays now, it brings people straight back to shared moments. Car rides, school days, crowded garages, nights where music connected everyone in the room without needing explanation. It reflects a time when people felt more collectively tuned into the same sound, the same artists, the same energy. That feeling has shifted, but the imprint remains. Seeing Scribe back performing, reconnecting with that energy and embracing his artistry again, adds another layer to a story that continues to evolve.

His voice, shaped by his roots, his community, and his journey, continues to resonate across generations in Aotearoa. Want more on Scribe?

The highly anticipated biopic Michael officially lands in New Zealand cinemas, bringing the story of Michael Jackson to a new generation. Ever since the first trailer dropped months ago, excitement has been building, with longtime fans and newcomers eager to see the legend’s life retold on screen. At the heart of the film is a deeply personal portrayal by his real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson, whose striking resemblance has already sparked buzz. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, best known for The Equalizer films, the project promises a cinematic take on one of music’s most iconic and complex figures. The film traces Jackson’s journey from his childhood in Gary, Indiana, through his early rise with the Jackson 5, to the launch of his solo career and global superstardom. Produced by Lionsgate, Michael captures both the brilliance and intensity of a career that spanned decades. With the film now in cinemas, it’s shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest releases.

More than 2,000 competitors took part nationwide, all leading up to Saturday’s epic Grand Final at Karanga Plaza in Tāmaki Makaurau. And safe to say… the bombs were BIG. We brought the energy both on-air and on-ground, with the iHeartRadio VIP Zone, the Flava Replay screen, and the always chaotic Famous Faces Jump. Representing the Flava whānau were Azura, K’Lee and producer Anna, who bravely stepped in after Charlie picked up a pre-event injury (don’t worry, we’re still giving him grief about it 😂). Across the entire series, Flava Drive’s Hadz held it down as MC, keeping the crowd hyped and the manu flying.
