Welcome back to Don't Alert The Stans!

Coronavirus couldn’t stop us! We back! After a nearly two-month hiatus, Eden, Sope and Nic are back to kick off the quarantine edition of Don't Alert The Stans.

As the boys continue to get to grips with the current horrors of the world, Eden leads a discussion about how the global pandemic is affecting the music industry on both a macro and micro level.

The long-awaited VERZUS battle between R&B legends Teddy Riley and Babyface finally took place amidst a bunch of technical difficulties and hilarious antics.

In other news, polarising artist M.I.A. has yet again at the forefront of controversy. It’s recently come out that her anti-vaccination comments cost her a feature in VOGUE’s next issue.

Closing out the episode is an discussion on the many layers of Kanye West’s legacy in light of the announcement that he is now a billionaire.
