Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer With less than a week to go before their contract expires, the leaders of SAG-AFTRA are striking an optimistic note about the progress of negotiations. In a video sent to members on Saturday, union president Fran Drescher and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland say they hope to be able to achieve a deal with the studios. If they do, that would avert a “double strike,” in which performers would join the Writers Guild of America on picket lines outside the major studios. “I just want to assure you that we are having an extremely productive negotiations that are laser-focused on all of the crucial issues you told us are most important to you,” Drescher said. “We’re standing strong and we’re going to achieve a seminal deal.”
Shaggy says fans have always misunderstood ‘It Wasn’t Me’
06.06.2023 - 18:16 / nme.com
Shaggy has claimed that the message behind his hit song ‘It Wasn’t Me’ has been misunderstood for years.Still one of his most popular tracks to date, the Rickardo “RikRok” Ducent featuring ‘It Wasn’t Me’ was released as part of Shaggy’s 2000 album ‘Hot Shot’, and quickly became one of the most recognisable songs of the ’00s.Over two decades after the track was released, however, Shaggy has claimed that fans have misunderstood its message, and clarified that the hit was meant to be an “anti-cheating song”.Speaking to People, he explained that while the song — believed to be about a man denying cheating on his partner — had led to him having a reputation as a “player”, that wasn’t his intention at all.“It was a big misconception with that song because that song is not a cheating song,” he said. “It’s an anti-cheating song.
It’s just that nobody listened to the record to the end.“There’s a part in the record where it’s a conversation between two people. You have one guy, which is me at that point, giving that bad advice, like, ‘Yo, bro, how could you get caught? Just tell her, ‘It wasn’t me.’”He continued, elaborating on the second half of the conversation which he believes was overlooked: “Then at the end, the guy says, ‘I’m going to tell her that I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused.

Joe Scarborough has some advice for Republicans running for president: stop trying to be Donald Trump.
