Month: June 2022

There were all sorts of special guests at Pharrell’s Something in the Water Festival over the weekend. The Clipse, Noreaga, SZA, 21 Savage, Ashanti, Ja Rule, Earthgang, Rae Sremmurd, Tierra whack, T.I., Roddy Ricch, and dozens of others took to the festival’s stages to entertain thousands of fans. Aside from the safety concerns raised by concertgoers, the show went on without a hitch and several moments were uploaded to social media—including Justin Timberlake’s viral footwork.

Timberlake and Pharrell made magic in the studio, and on the charts, so it came as no surprise that the boy band icon made an appearance at the festival. Videos of Timberlake on stage showing off his dance moves were shared and the masses had a grand ol’ time trolling the singer.

Timberlake’s talents are unmatched as he has dominated the charts for most of his life. Whether he was in N’SYNC or a solo artist, his global fandom managed to make sure his superstar status stayed secure. At Something in the Water, Timberlake dressed down as he was in khaki pants and a button-up, and the singer, who is known for his dance moves, didn’t impress the audience with his moves.

The videos of Timberlake circulated far and wide, causing a firestorm of jeers from social media users, but it all seemed to be in good fun. Still, his fans made sure to remind people of Timberlake’s talents. Take a look at the clips, reactions, and jokes below.

It’s all Breezy all week as Chris Brown rolls out his forthcoming album. The hitmaker returns with his project this Friday (June 24), so the world has received an influx of Chris Brown news in recent weeks. To bolster the hype, Brown has made an epic appearance on Drink Champs, and during his stint on the Revolt series, he cleared up a rumor involving Bow Wow and Juelz Santana.

The 2005 Santana-assisted single “Run It” has gone on to become one of Brown’s greatest hits and a classic in his catalog, but during Bow’s Verzuz with Soulja Boy, Bow Wow claimed that he was supposed to be on the track instead of the Dipset icon.

Later, when Santana visited Drink Champs, he mentioned Bow’s assertion, adding that he was unaware of any other artists having first dibs. Noreaga asked Chris Brown to set the record straight once and for all about the Scott Storch-produced hit that was penned by Sean Garrett.

“So, you know, Shad is my brother, man,” Brown said with a smile. “But Shad be cap sometimes. But I love Shad!” The room erupted in laughter.

“So, Bow, right, so he definitely was the first—I’m talking about the person who said ‘Look, you want to get on tour? I’mma show you how to do this.’ He was not a hater. There was a lot of singers out, there was a lot of other people that was kinda a little bit [standoffish], so I was like, psh, alright. But Bow was the first one.”

“But when we did ‘Run It,’ it was like, we did ‘Run It’ in Hit Factory in Miami, but I was like 14. They was like, ‘Well, who you want to feature?’ I said, ‘Man, Juelz Santana.'” There you have it. This one is going to cause Bow Wow to receive another onslaught of jibes. Check out Brown’s clip below.

Music releases have a tendency to evoke strong reactions, but Diddy’s “Gotta Move On” has caused more ruckus than usual. Sean “Diddy” or “Love” Combs has been teasing his all-R&B label Love Records, and recently, he shared his single “Gotta Move On” which is slated for inclusion on the mogul’s forthcoming project. The Bryson Tiller-assisted track has been debated online, but the single had many believing that Diddy referenced his ex, Cassie, in one of the lyrics.

Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, also believed that Diddy was mentioning his wife and unleashed a subliminal shot in an Instagram Story post. “Happy Pride to all my LGBTQ+ friends,” he wrote above the image with a link to an “LGBT foundation.” He added, “Attached is a charity that helps people who are in the closet and GOTTA MOVE ON. Along with other resources.”

As the internet reeled from Fine touching on rumors that have plagued Diddy for decades, the Bad Boy icon’s ex-situationship Gina Huynh returned with a complaint of her own. According to her, she was the one who put Diddy on to “Gotta Move On,” so she’s requesting a “finder’s fee.”

“I’m in a ‘I don’t give a f*ck‘ mood today,” she said in a video. “First of all, I put you onto that song and if it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have this song on your album. Okay?” Huynh also posted a video showing her listening to the pre-Diddy track along with a date to seemingly confirm her allegations. 

“I’ve been nothing but nice to someone for almost a DECADE to get treated like this. PUBLICLY!!” she wrote in a separate post. “Am I not allowed to stand up for myself????? Man if y’all only knew.. F*ck I can only take so much.” She added that people judging her would do the same.

Sometimes it takes a minute for the internet to grab hold of a video, but once it begins to be shared from one platform to another, the world is once again confronted with a viral moment. These days, TikTok is the hub for videos that circulate wildly online, and a clip from May has stolen attention in recent days. We often see people planning special moments on social media, especially when it comes to marriage proposals, and in a video, Snoop Dogg found himself at the center of a couple’s big day.

It looked as if the Death Row icon was hosting a meet and greet during an event, and two fans, a man and a woman, were able to get up close and personal with Snoop. As they posed for photos, on either side of the rapper, the man suddenly drops to one knee.

Amid the loud noise and chaos, the woman said, “Oh sh*t!” before the man added,  “Would you make me the best man in the world right next to Snoop?” She answered, “Hell yeah!” and through it all, the Long Beach legend hilariously seemed confused and surprised. Although things were a tad cringe when the man seemed to be reaching for some sort of handshake, it ended well with a three-way hug where Snoop still seemed taken aback by it all.

As awkward as things may have been, it was probably the best moment the couple has ever had. Congratulations to them! Check out the video below.
