You're in British Summer Time, which is 1 hour ahead of GMT. It was a notification 10 minutes before the scheduled event.
The issue lies with Apple. I know the event occurred 49 minutes in the past within my time zone as I was actually listening to Beats 1 when the song debuted. You’d think Apple would have its global date/time zone settings set appropriately.

I’ve enjoyed some tracks from DJ Khaled over the last couple years, but I found it hard to take his projection of party life seriously after finding out he doesn’t go down. Like ever. How much fun can you be if you aren’t going down?

Maybe you can explain what this means?
 
Haha sorry, I have no idea what MR policy’s are regarding language. Was trying to be coy.

DJ Khaled refuses to preform cunnilingus.

And why would knowing that affect your perception of his music? You are joking, right?
 
I still don’t understand why Apple likes to promote garbage this, or Swift that, etc.
Can’t believe THAT ALL THE EVENTS where celebrities are involved it’s so out of my personal taste... can’t be just bad luck.
And for those saying that this thread is a bunch of hips hating mainstream media... sorry, can’t defend this one, maybe Lady Gaga, maybe Arcade Fires and others. NOT THIS.
This guy says it best:

Okay, so... what does this have to do with the new song or its promotion on Apple Music?
Apple likes to portray themselves as progressive on many social issues but promote, support, and partner with a variety of artists who are openly misogynistic?
 
In this thread: People who think they are cool by hating all mainstream music.
Mainstream Music has never been ALL GOOD. There have always been a load of dog-poo songs that via the use of brown envelopes stuffed with you know what up there at the top of the charts and annoying the hell out of us.

I admire artists who have a real talent. i.e. Sing in tune, play an instrument etc etc. Most mainstream artists today don't fit into that definition. I'm probably not alone with that opinion. Using Auto-tune is not the solution to anything.

In case you think that I'm an old fogey, this is the gig I'm going to next Tuesday

A mixture of Reggae, Salsa, Jazz and lots more. Playedby people who love to make music and spread that love to others.

Not the most serious thing, no, haha.

DJ Khaled’s music is definitely braggadocious. He had a popular single two summers ago, For Free

is it just me,
or is this sex so good that I shouldn’t have to f**k for free
…So I just find it funny that he’s actually a pretty bad lay. You don’t always have to conflate the art and the artist, but sometimes it’s just fun to remind people what they are supporting.

I support a lot of Tom Cruise movies, but I despise his personal life. If you wanted to (in a related thread) bring up that cognitive dissonance I wouldn’t be bothered.

This is a good observation. Pandering 101. From a marketing standpoint it is the lesser of the two evils to align with misogynists than the possibility of being labeled discriminatory. Plus the $$.
