Yungblud has brought his popular YouTube show The Yungblud Show back with a new episode. You can watch it below.
A new episode of the show arrived yesterday Thursday (June 25), with all proceeds going to Black Lives Matter. Featuring Paris Hilton and activist Kenidra Woods, the episode also includes a performance of unreleased track ‘The Emperor’ and latest release ‘Weird!’.
Earlier this week, Yungblud introduced the show by wishing fans a Happy Pride Month, announcing that the show would be returning with special guests.
“I know the past couple of months have been very scary and weird,” he said. “So I would like to take this opportunity to say fuck racism, fuck homophobia, as always fuck the coronavirus, and fuck Mr Donald Trump. I’ll see you Thursday.”

In the last episode of The Yungblud Show, which aired back in April, the singer was joined by Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker and Kelly Osbourne.
Reviewing the episode, NME wrote: “As with everything he does, there’s love at the core of The Yungblud Show. For 30 minutes, the Black Heart Gang family – that’s his always inclusive fanbase – comes together to think about something that isn’t impending doom.”
During lockdown, Yungblud launched a new ‘Stay Home’ video series, as well as becoming one of the first high-profile artists to stream a live gig from quarantine back in March.
The singer is also set to release a new album this year, which he has called “naïve and full of contradictions” in a recent interview.
“The album is a neat whisky, uncensored version of my life: it talks about liberation in terms of sex, my identity and my mental health, as well as love, heartbreak, self-harm, suicide, depression…” he said, adding that it’s “like a series of Skins.”
