The music world lost many great artists in 2022.

Some of the deaths hit harder than others because of the circumstances (country star Naomi Judd) or because they were so unexpected (Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins). Others were more tragic because they were the result of senseless violence (Migos rapper Takeoff) or accidents (Willie Spence, Martin Duffy).

Here’s a look at some of the notable artists who left us this year but will live on through the music they made.

Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, is being sued for copyright infringement over a track on his album Donda.

Ye returned to Twitter on Thursday and quickly called out Canadian personal trainer Harley Pasternak.

The rapper formerly known as Kanye West shared a screenshot of what appears to be a text message from someone named Harley, who threatens to have him “institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you, and you go back to Zombieland forever.”

Drake has seemingly given his support to fellow Canadian rapper Tory Lanez – and Megan Thee Stallion is not impressed.

On “Circo Loco,” a track on Drake’s new collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, he raps: “This b**ch lie ‘bout getting shot but she still a stallion.” It’s a likely reference to the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, for which Lanez stands accused (his trial begins at the end of this month).

Selena Gomez was courted for a guest role on The Big Bang Theory, it has been revealed.

Voting to determine who makes the list of nominations for the 2023 Grammys began Thursday and, predictably, there are some questions and complaints.

Nicki Minaj’s hit “Super Freaky Girl” appears on the first round ballot for Best Pop Solo Performance even though the track was submitted for consideration in rap categories.

“Super Freaky Girl” samples the 1981 Rick James hit “Super Freak.” In 1991, MC Hammer won Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammys for “U Can’t Touch This,” which also samples “Super Freak.”

Minaj said it’s also unfair because Latto’s “Big Energy,” which samples another 1981 song, Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” is included in rap categories.

Blink-182 has released “Edging,” its first new music with founding member Tom DeLonge since 2012.
