ENews: Hundreds of protesters are gathered outside of MetraPark Arena hours before Ryan Ross Hernandez is set to kick off his "Are We Having a Conversation - The Tour". The demonstrators are upset at RRH for what they perceive as an attempt from the artist to push a Hollywood liberal agenda with his 2020 hit single "In Hate We Trust, USA" as well as his stance on requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for entry at his shows. "F**k you Ryan" and "Leave Montana" have been repeatedly chanted by the crowd throughout the day. Montana leans heavily on the conservative ideologies, where RRH has leaned more strongly to the left-wing over recent years. 1/2

ENews: Hernandez, who has a home about 150 miles east of Billings where he is performing tonight, has long supported the community since moving part-time to the Bozeman area in 2012, such as donating funds to the statewide Planned Parenthood program each year over the past decade. In an official statement sent out to press and ticket holders attending the show tonight, RRH's reps stated: "To ensure the safety of both guests and crew, we have hired additional security. At this time we have no further comment on the matter. We look forward to hosting a sold-out crowd in Billings." 2/2

PopCrave: Weekend set to receive MBEs as revealed in the Queen's Jubilee Birthday Honours List. Billy Khan, Dustyn Blue-Conners, Oscar Ward, Scott Wellington and Riley Hamilton are to receive the titles and medals for their "services to music". The band have been active for a decade, launched their own record label and hold the record for the British-based band with most #1 singles (10). Khan also holds the same record for solo affairs. Weekend have been noted as one of "Britain's biggest exports", garnering revenue from their globally successful music, label and concert tours. Members of the band have also been public figures and advocates for many humanitarian issues such as LGBTQ rights, homelessness and poverty within the country.



PopCrave: However, since the Honours List was published, old tweets from Billy and Dustyn expressing dislike towards Queen Elizabeth II and The Royal Family have resurfaced.

BillyBadBoy: Billy Khan MBE. Oh I'm going to be INSUFFERABLE!!

BillyBadBoy: @TikaMaysMusic onlyyyyy if I get good seats so that people can see me ;)

CultureUncut: #NDARyan started trending on Twitter this weekend after a server at a high-end Chicago restaurant made a TikTok sharing their experience after her workplace hosted Ryan Ross Hernandez and his extensive touring crew for a late-night dinner on Saturday following his concert at United Center. Allegedly all staff that worked both front and back of house at the establishment had to sign NDAs that primarily “protected the identities of those in attendance”. The server did share that Hernandez left a $15,000 tip and took time to personally thank everyone for working after hours.
