In preparation for her forthcoming 2023 Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show appearance, Rihanna has released a limited edition Savage X Fenty football-themed drop.

Including hoodies, sweatpants, varsity jerseys, tees, hats, beanies, boxers, and a bandana, the “Game Day” collection has 17 different items. The collection is based on a real football, and Rihanna posed for various pieces on the Savage X Fenty Instagram page.

On her Instagram Story, Rihanna also provided a sneak peek at another Fenty sweatshirt with a Super Bowl theme, complete with the graphic she used to promote her halftime performance the previous year. The NFL reposted Rihanna’s Instagram Story with a countdown to the big game as a caption on their Instagram page.

The caption stated, “5 weeks from now #AppleMusicHalftime.”

The Savage X Fenty website and retail locations are where customers wishing to purchase the drop may find things in sizes XXS to 4X. For Xtra VIP members, prices range from $24.95 to $89.95, and from $32.95 to $112.95 for non-VIP members.

Savage X Fenty will open a three-day retail pop-up store in Los Angeles, California, from January 27–29, giving customers another opportunity to experience the latest drop. Goal posts will double as clothing racks, there will be photo opportunities, branded gifts, and more in the turf-lined store, which will also include mannequin heads with football themes.

The State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona will host Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 12. By tweeting a cryptic message, Rihanna revealed that she will perform during the halftime show.

The ANTI singer will perform at the Super Bowl for the first time, and it will be her biggest performance since the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, when Rihanna gave a career-spanning medley of hits to celebrate collecting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

JAY-Z, the NFL’s live music entertainment strategist since 2019, referred to Rihanna as a “generational talent” in a press release announcing the news.

“Rihanna is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” he said of his Roc Nation signee. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

Ghostface Killah is Set to Release New Album Through Stem Player

Ghostface Killah is Set to Release New Album Through Stem Player

/0 Comments/in /by

According to Ghostface Killah’s announcement, the $240 Stem player will be the only place to purchase his upcoming studio album.

A new song named “6 Minutes” is available to stream for free on Stem’s website for the next 36 hours, according to a post on Instagram from the firm behind the Stem Player, which also stated that the Wu-Tang Clan legend’s new project will launch exclusively via the cutting-edge device.

“GHOSTFACE STEM. NEW GHOSTFACE KILLAH ALBUM EXCLUSIVELY LAUNCHING ON GHOSTFACE STEMPLAYER BLACK & CREAM NOW LIVE ON STEM.TECH,” the post read. “GHOSTFACE KILLAH ‘6 MINUTES’ SONG IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO STREAM FOR FREE EXCLUSIVELY ON STEM.TECH FOR 36 HOURS.”

Ghostface’s upcoming album is anticipated to be released in February along with the new Stem Player, though the title, tracklist, or any prospective features have not yet been announced. A cream version with “five exclusive tracks” will cost $240, while a black version with “10 exclusive tracks” will cost $360. The album will be offered on two Ghostface Killah Stem Players.

Through Stem’s website, fans can also also purchase a $20 monthly subscription that gives them access to the album as well as special videos, a concert, and meet-ups with Ghostface Killah. 

The action is reminiscent of Kanye West’s Donda 2, which was released in February 2022 just through the Stem Player.

Ye reportedly made over $2 million before the record even came out thanks to the decision. After Kanye’s antisemitic outburst, the tech business that had been backing the player, Kano, removed him.

In a Fast Company interview, Ghostface went into further detail about his involvement with the media player and stated that he saw this as a chance to “cut through” the crowded streaming industry. He also valued the personal ways that the Stem Player enables fans to relate to him.

“This is music for these people who care about me,” the Supreme Clientele MC said. “I’m not saying people don’t care about me, but when you’ve got dedicated Ghostface or Wu-Tang fans—these are hardcore fans for life.”

Ghostface said he’ll add and cut each track to the player over time, and that he plans to use the company’s new $1,000 Stem Projector to add a “Ghostface channel” where fans can obtain exclusive content, such as Ask Me Anything’s (AMAs) and opportunities for in-person meetups. He also said he’s planning a music festival alongside the company.

“This is what I’m getting you. Every few months, take that!” he added. “It’s nothing for me to go in the studio and cook something up and just give it to [fans]. I don’t care about that. If you want it, you’re going to go get it.”

Ghostface Killahs, his 2019 album, was the last full-length solo album to be released. In 2021, in recognition of the tape’s 25th anniversary, he also reissued his landmark project Ironman from 1996.

Kodak Black Admits Crying When Saweetie Selected Quavo Over Him

Kodak Black Admits Crying When Saweetie Selected Quavo Over Him

/0 Comments/in /by

Kodak Black remembers getting upset when Saweetie passed on him.

Rapper Kodak Black admitted that he grieved when Saweetie chose Quavo over him, and that has caused him heartache. In an Instagram Live conversation with fellow Florida rapper Yungeen Ace, Kodak revealed the information and acknowledged that Saweetie’s decision to seek a relationship with Quavo rather than him had put him in tears. Kodak has stated that despite the heartache, he still honors their connection and has recently moved on to pursue other romantic opportunities.

“I said, when Saweetie picked Quavo over me she made me cry brother,” he revealed.”

The Bill Isreal rapper also sung a sad song “I caught a case again, forgive me one last time/Saweetie picked Quavo over me, she made me cry/Better be in bed by the time them killers come out at night,” he crooned.

On her EP “The Single Life” in 2022, Saweetie released the song “Don’t Say Nothin’,” in which she addressed the claims that, soon after her breakup with Quavo, she had begun dating Lil Baby. The song’s lyrics appeared to be a response to these rumors.

“Why ni**as always speakin’ on who I’m f**kin’ on? / He must’ve got excited when I FaceTimed with nothin’ on,” Saweetie raps on the track. “Them same lips that’s yappin’ be the ones I nutted on / A hunnid K, please, know how much paper I be touchin’ on? / That’s light, better check my net worth / Post a pic’ in his sweatshirt, I bet it have my ex hurt / That’s what I get for kissin’ on these frogs/He got mad and told my business to the blogs.”

Some have speculated that a statement about a $100,000 shopping spree was meant to refute claims that she had a brief relationship with Lil Baby after splitting from Quavo. Lil Baby and Quavo have both previously discussed the subject in their own tracks.

Recently, Kodak has shown interest in several ladies, including GloRilla. Kodak attempted to change the words of her popular song “Tomorrow” during a live stream in 2022 by commenting on one of her postings.

SZA Reflects on Her Teenage Bullying Experience: “It Made Me Who I am Today”

/0 Comments/in /by

SZA remembers being bullied when she was a teen.

SZA is currently enjoying a successful run with her new album “SOS,” which is expected to spend a fourth straight week at the top of the US Billboard chart TDE DIVA recalled how being tormented as a teen shaped who she is today in an interview with People.

“I was bullied because I wasn’t quiet and I was awkward at the same time,” she said. “I wasn’t this tiny sad victim, but I was more so attacked just because it was giving ‘What is wrong with you?’ energy.”

“I always thought, ‘Oh my God.’ I’ll never have the approval of anyone in life, this must be my defining factor, this must be the bottom line,” she adds.

“I realized that all the things that made me feel so lame were actually what made me into who I am,” she says. “It’s like, I didn’t go to prom because I didn’t have any friends and I had no one to go to prom with … [and now] it’s so weird that my life turned into [having] a bodyguard while traveling to parties.”

SZA continues, “All these things, if I had such a fulfilling existence and experience in high school, I would’ve felt validated to the point where I didn’t need to do anymore. [So] I just had to do more, I had to be more because I was like, ‘This experience can’t be the end of it because if it is, I am cooked.’”

“Everyone who experiences bullying, that just s**ks, but it’s going to lead you to something, it has to,” she added. “If you could hold on and just wait until high school is over because 10 years from now, I promise you, none of those people will matter.”

 Julia Fox Says That Her Best Celebrity Date Was With Drake

 Julia Fox Says That Her Best Celebrity Date Was With Drake

/0 Comments/in /by

Julia Fox, who had a brief romance with Kanye West last winter, revealed her finest celebrity date on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday.

She was asked about the finest celebrity date she’s ever been on, she described it to a spectator.

“Being on a private jet, cuddling on the plane, landing, getting some Chanel bags,” Fox, 32, remembered, eliciting laughter from the studio audience before adding dryly, “It was amazing, huh.”

Cohen later questioned Fox on the WWHL After Show if Drake had taken her on that date.

“Maybe,” Fox said a few minutes later, visibly reacting with an eye roll before smirkingly telling Bravo presenter, “Shouldn’t have given me that shot.”

This isn’t the first time Fox has hinted at being romantically involved with Drake.

On her Forbidden Fruits podcast in February 2022, she addressed an allegation that she dated the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker in 2020.

“He’s a great guy and a gentleman… and that was it. Nothing really happened, we were just, like, friends hanging out,” Fox said of the 36-year-old, adding: “I wouldn’t say that we were dating.”

Fox had a whirlwind romance with rapper Kanye West last winter after partying with the controversial artist at a Miami nightclub on New Year’s Eve. They dated for a few months before the rapper began his worrying rants on social media after his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

While Fox was seeing West, 45, Julia Fox opened up about the extravagant attention she received from the controversial artist, whose divorce from Kardashian was finalized in November.

“His energy is so fun to be around. He had me and my friends laughing, dancing, and smiling all night,” Fox wrote last January, before describing a second date in which West surprised her with a hotel suite stocked with clothes.”

“I’m still in shock. Ye had an entire hotel suite full of clothes. It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment,” Fox recalled. “I don’t know how he did it, or how he got all of it there in time. But I was so surprised. Like, who does things like this on a second date? Or any date!”

Eminem Rejected $8 Million Offer to Perform at 2022 World Cup

Eminem Rejected $8 Million Offer to Perform at 2022 World Cup

/0 Comments/in /by

 Eminem has enjoyed some significant financial success in his career as a rapper, but he won’t pass up opportunities like the World Cup sponsorship offer he received last year.

50 Cent, a longtime friend of the rapper and a former Shady/Aftermath performer, dropped by Big boy’s Neighborhood to promote the second season of his smash TV show BMF.

During the conversation, the G-Unit entrepreneur recounted how his performance with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige at last year’s award-winning Super Bowl Halftime Show led to him and Eminem being given a large sum of money to perform at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup,” 50 Cent told Big Boy. “They had a budget of $9million for it. So they was gonna give — I would have took one, Big. Then the other eight would have been for Em.”

50 Cent added that if anyone was looking to do a “one-off” they’d probably do the “biggest live sporting event in the world.”

Once the offer came in, 50 Cent called Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg to discuss it but was ultimately turned down — although it’s not completely clear whether news of the offer made its way to Em directly. “I called and spoke to Paul and everybody around him,” Fif explained. “They was like, ‘He’s not gonna do it.’”

While Eminem and his team may have declined the World Cup, 50 Cent stated that the opportunity they did not pass up was the chance to remake the Detroit legend’s 8 Mile film and turn it into a TV series.

“I wanna bring — I’m gonna bring, 8 Mile to television,” he told Big Boy before confirming that the project is already “in motion.”

“It’s gonna be big,” he added. “I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100 … I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

Elsewhere during the chat, the “In Da Club” hitmaker offered additional details about the new album he’s planning to release later this year, revealing that Dr. Dre will be contributing to the project.

“As soon as I [announced it], I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” he said.

“This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”

She’s Praying for ‘Legend’ Keith Murray - Shawnna 

She’s Praying for ‘Legend’ Keith Murray – Shawnna 

/0 Comments/in /by

Shawnna is choosing the high road and praying for Keith Murray, following his accusations that he previously engaged in oral sex with her. 

The former Disturbing Tha Peace performer responded to Murray’s assertions from a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue in a post to her Instagram on Friday (January 6). Although she had previously made jokes while refuting his story, Shawnna this time adopted a more solemn demeanor.

Shawnna said in her post that, “Keith got the wrong people around him. Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves. He’s a legend.”

“I had to pause and really step out of the social media BULLSHIT!!! I’ve never met that man but obviously I need to!” she added in her caption. “I would NEVER let a legend disgrace himself publicly if I was in his circle.. I’m praying for you Keith and if you want to talk I’m here.”

Many admirers and peers praised Shawnna for handling the outrageous charges with maturity. A Tribe Called Quest rapper Jarobi White said, “This was the classiest post I’ve seen in a bit! Much love and respect to you!” 

Love & Hip Hop: New York star J. Adrienne wrote, “That fact you never met this man and he said something so foul yet you still giving him grace. That’s how Queens move.” 

The “What’s Your Fantasy” rapper and Murray allegedly had a rendezvous in a Miami hotel room, according to Murray’s post on The Art of Dialogue.

“Shawnna was in the bed like this [laid seductively], so I walked up on the bed and I was touching her feet, massaging her,” Keith Murray said. “Then I started massaging her legs, then boom, I start eating her pussy.”

The rapper admits that he “never fucked her,” but claimed he “could have had like two or three or four kids by her by now” if he had played his cards right.

Shawnna first refuted his charges with a post to her Instagram, but she later used them as fodder for jokes by teasing a new remix of her 2006 hit, up, “Gettin’ Some.” Murray’s obscene remarks are spliced together and played over the rhythm of her oral sex anthem in a video that was uploaded to Instagram on Thursday (January 5).

“@liltunechi bout to drop a GETTIN SOME REMIX!!!!!!! To the remix!!!!!” Shawnna wrote in the caption while tagging Lil Wayne, who appeared on the official “Gettin’ Some” remix alongside Ludacris, Too $hort and Pharrell.”

Foxy Brown, a rapper from Brooklyn, refuted similar charges made about him by Keith Murray.

Lizzo Bullshits ‘Delusional’ Celebrity Beauty Standards

Lizzo Bullshits ‘Delusional’ Celebrity Beauty Standards

/0 Comments/in /by

Lizzo is fed up with the high expectations people have of celebrities in terms of appearance, and she won’t let anyone tell her how to feel about herself. 

The “Rumors” singer, who was sporting a bikini on Friday (January 6), hit back at the incessant abuse she receives regarding her appearance in an Instagram post. 

Lizzo drew attention to how contradictory the comments are while also reminding detractors that her goal is to create art, not to conform to anyone’s body image ideals.

She began “The discourse around bodies is officially tired. The discourse around bodies is tired!”. “I have seen comments go from, ‘Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick! Why’d you lose weight? To, ‘Oh my gosh, why’d you get a BBL? I liked your body before.’ To, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so big. Ew. You need to lose weight – but for your health!’ To, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so little. You need to get ass or titties or something!’ To, ‘Oh my gosh, why did she get this work done? It’s just too much work!’

“Are we okay? Do you see the delusion?” Lizzo continued. “Do we realize that artists are not here to fit into your beauty standards? Artists are here to make art! And this body is art! And I’ma do whatever I want with this body. I wish that comments costed y’all money so we could see how much time we are fucking wasting on the wrong thing. Can we leave that shit back there please?”

Not just Lizzo’s followers on social media have expressed their opinions about her figure. Even Kanye West chimed in with his two cents when discussing remarks made on social media in a Fox News interview from October.

Kanye said “When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots… on Instagram, they attack her for losing weight, because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal, ‘When it’s actually unhealthy.”

Lizzo responded to him on stage during a concert that followed. In front of a crowd in Toronto, Lizzo remarked “I feel like everybody in America got my muthafuckin’ name in their muthafuckin’ mouth for no muthafuckin’ reason.”

“I’m minding my fat Black beautiful business,” and then asked the audience, “Can I stay here? Who can I marry for that dual citizenship?”

Aries Spears, a comedian, also said unsolicited things about Lizzo, likening her to the “shit emoji.” Fans of the artist promptly defended her, dragging Spears’ remarks for days.
