Here's a transcript of today's podcast:

Ed Sheeran has spoken out after winning his copyright lawsuit. The singer won the case after a judge ruled that his song, Shape of You, did not infringe copyright after he was accused of copying by grime artist Sami Switch.

The award-winning singer posted a video to social media saying he and his co-writers were pleased with the result, but took the opportunity to hit out at copyright claims – stating they'd become all too common. Ed finished the video by stating he hopes future baseless claims like this can be avoided.

Could The Weekend become a Coachella headliner? The artist is allegedly in talks to join the lineup for Coachella which kicks off in California next week.

The Blinding Lights singer, who recently released his new album Dawn FM, was thought to be joining Swedish House Mafia's set as guest performer, however, bosses are now thought to be considering giving The Weeknd his own slot after Ye pulled out of his headline set. The reasons for Ye's cancellation have not yet been revealed, but we'll keep you posted.

Cardi B has won a court order following her defamation lawsuit against YouTuber and vlogger Tasha K. Cardi, who won the original lawsuit earlier this year, has now been granted an injunction which will see the blogger's posts in question that feature Cardi and statements made about her removed from the internet. Despite the court order, Tasha K has since launched an appeal of the verdict – which remains ongoing.
