In a brief interview with TMZ, Rihanna discussed her eagerly awaited performance. She stated as she was leaving Bristol Farms in West Hollywood on Tuesday, “I’m anxious, but I’m excited. When asked if her boyfriend A$AP Rocky might make a special cameo, the singer responded, “Maybe, girl.”

This year’s Super Bowl halftime performance, which featured legendary Hip-Hop performers Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent, will now be followed by Riri.

Prior to her appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show, which is in a few months, there is also a chance to hear some brand-new music from Rihanna. After releasing her eighth studio album, “Anti,” in 2016, Rihanna hasn’t published a solo studio album for six years.

Kanye West Discusses “White Lives Matter,” MAGA, And Other Topics On Fox News

Kanye West summarized a week’s worth of controversy during an interview with Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson on Thursday, October 6. The fashion designer covered a wide range of topics during the live conversation, including his support for former US President Donald Trump and his ex-friendship wife’s with the Clintons.

The 45-year-old rapper talked openly about his pro-life views while wearing a lanyard that included an image of an ultrasound of a baby. “It simply symbolizes life. I support life,” he said to Tucker. The reality that Black infants are currently being aborted more frequently than they are being born in New York City is what I care about, not how other people react to me.

Ye went on to discuss his friendship with Trump and the controversial MAGA hat. “My so-called friends/handlers around me told me if I said that I liked Trump that my career would be over. That my life would be over. They said stuff like people get killed for wearing a hat like that. They threatened my life.”

The father of four also mentioned how proud he was to have created the contentious “White Lives Matter” t-shirt for his Yeezy Season 9 line.

“My dad is an educated ex-Black Panther and he sent a text to me today. He said, ‘White Lives Matter hahaha.’ And I said I thought the shirt was a funny shirt. I thought the idea of me wearing it was funny. And I said, ‘Dad, why do you think it’s funny?’ And he said, ‘Just a Black man stating the obvious.’

Only after the interview, Kanye made reference to Kim Kardashian, his estranged wife, and her political views.

Beyonce Described As “Arrogant” Over The “Alien Superstar” Sample On “Renaissance,” Fred Said, “By Right”

Beyoncé is somewhere getting ready for the tour The Renaissance according to a rumour while the album continues to be a mainstay on the charts. The superstar singer’s most recent album has become a worldwide sensation, especially as people adore her incorporation of vintage hit songs. Despite the incident with Kelis, the majority of persons sampled on Renaissance were delighted with their revised changes.

Not just the “Milkshake” musician was disappointed that their song was included on the album with the highest charting single. Right Said Fred criticized Beyoncé for using a sample of their 1992 smash hit “I’m Too Sexy” on her song “Alien Superstar” this week.

The legendary pop duet, who are best known for that song, lamented to The Sun that Beyoncé & Co. didn’t contact them before using their Renaissance sample.

“Normally the artist approaches us but Beyoncé didn’t because she is such an arrogant person,” they told the outlet. “She just had probably thought ‘come and get me’ so we heard about it after the fact when you did. Everyone else, Drake and Taylor Swift, they came to us.”

“To use our melody they need our permission so they send us the demo and we approve it and if so we get a co-write credit,” Right Said Fred added. “With this Beyoncé thing there are 22 writers it’s ridiculous so we would get about 40 [pounds].”

The pair added that “there is so little money now in the actual sales, people like friends, golfing partners, engineers, bookers and the guy who brings the coke, they all want a cut.”

“There is nothing we can do. It is sh*t. You are going to get into a conversation with someone who has a lot more presence and power and money than we do. And that won’t go well.”

Beyoncé’s team promptly took the sample down when Kelis complained about it. It’s unknown if “Alien Superstar” will undergo any changes.

Joey Bada$$ Ignores Queen Latifah, Ice-T, LL Cool J & More As He Names His Top 5 Rappers Turned Actors List

Joey Bada$$ has chosen his top five rappers who have made it into acting roles although the list is arbitrary. Some names were left off, which will undoubtedly cause controversy among fans.

When asked who would make his Top Five list of rappers who have also become actors during a recent chat with DJ Superstar Jay, Joey swung for the fences with his choices. “2Pac, Will Smith, Ice Cube, Method Man,” Joey said before hitting on his last choice. “50 [Cent].”

Now that he has entered the TV/film world, Joey Bada$$ has made some bold choices. 2Pac enjoyed success as an actor as he featured in classic movies which include, Juice, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim, Bullet, Gridlock’d, and Gang Related.

While Will Smith starred in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1989, when officially started acting.He was later cast in movies as Muhammad Ali in 2001’s Ali, Mike Lowrey in the Bad Boys trilogy, Agent J in the Men in Black series, and more. 

Ice Cube and Method Man have also established solid acting careers.Thanks to numerous Hip Hop masterpieces like the Friday, Barbershop, and Are We There Yet series, How High, Soul Plane, Belly, and more. The transformation of 50 Cent’s acting career into a full-fledged TV empire  gave rise to programs like the Power series and BMF.7

Joey omitted the names of a number of rappers who made the transition and enjoyed enormous success in the TV and film industries. Ice-T (New Jack City, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), LL Cool J (Deep Blue Sea, NCIS: Los Angeles, Any Given Sunday), and Queen Latifah are three crucial actors deserving of a spot on any Top Five (Set It Off, Chicago, Ice Age series, Living Single).

Ludacris, Eve, Drake, Bow Wow, the late DMX, Common, Redman, Snoop Dogg, T.I., Yasiin Bey, Mark Wahlberg, and other celebrities also didn’t make the cut.

Lloyd Banks Discloses the Enormous Advance He Received for His Second Album.

Lloyd Banks (the former G-Unit member) revealed to Brian “B.Dot” Miller and Elliott Wilson during a sit-down interview with Rap Radar that he earned $1,000,000 in advance of his 2006 project and acknowledged that the amount was never so high again.

“My advance for my second album was like a million dollars,” said Banks, with Miller interjecting: “Those days are over.”

“Yeah, I never told nobody that, but yeah” Banks continued. “But then imagine what the third one was supposed to be.”

The Queens rapper Banks was forced to abandon The Big Withdrawl, which was supposed to be his second project but was reportedly leaked by two ladies he had a threesome with, and instead released Rotten Apple, the follow-up to his immensely popular 2004 debut album The Hunger For More. An unmastered copy of the record was apparently left at the women’s house by Banks. Banks started working on Rotten Apple not long after the disclosure.

50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Rakim, Scarface, Mobb Deep, Keri Hilson, Musiq Soulchild, and 8 Ball made cameos on the album. The likes of 9th Wonder, Eminem, Sha Money XL, and others were involved in the production of Rotten Apple. The album sold 143,000 units in its first week and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

In an interview with HipHopDX, Lloyd Banks remarked that despite his tireless efforts to promote The Course of the Inevitable 2, he still feels as though he is searching for the “perfect record.”

“I just feel like I’m chasing the ultimate album, you know what I mean?” he said. “So it’s like, I can’t possibly be finished. I also lost more than a few years from just taking hiatuses in the business. In a lot of spots, I’ve might have been expected to have momentum, but I wasn’t in a situation at the time to just drop album after album.”

Since resuming their acclaimed Rap Radar podcast on August 18, Wilson and Miller have spoken with four guests, including Lloyd Banks. The duo chatted with DJ Khaled last week; his 13th album, God Did, landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week.

On September 8, the entire interview with Lloyd Banks will be aired.

Courtney Cox Responds After Kanye West Says “Friends” Isn’t Funny

Kanye found himself responding to a post exposing Kim Kardashian’s purported health difficulties in a post falsely linked to the Graduation rapper in the midst of his never-ending dispute with Adidas and Gap. In response to a photoshopped tweet that went viral and claimed that Ye deemed Friends unfunny, Ye labeled the post unfunny.

“I know you guys gonna be disappointed but I actually didn’t write the tweet that said ‘Friends wasn’t funny either’ but I wish I had,” he said. “I’d love to know who thought of that. I like to post comments,” he added before lauding comics like Larry David, Dave Chappelle, and Kevin Hart (in Jumanji)

It appears that Courtney Cox was made aware of the remarks since she responded to Ye in a video clip posted on Instagram. Before visiting Kanye’s Instagram page and finding his comments on Friends, Cox, who portrayed Monica, is seen dancing to the song “Heartless.” She finally decides to stop the music and go. “I bet the old Kayne thought Friends was funny,” Cox captioned the image while mispronouncing his name.

It’s unknown if any other Friends cast members heard about Kanye’s remarks. Regardless of what he thinks of the show, the cast still makes a respectable living via syndication till today.

Another one added, “The girls who congratulated her I remember she told then to check their dms.”
