FKA Twigs and Jorja Smith have both managed to rise to the top of their respective fields: Twigs is a highly respected indie/pop/R&B/genre-bending artist and Smith’s voice earned her a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2019. The two worked together on Twigs’ new mixtape Caprisongs, with Smith featuring on “Darjeeling.” Well, after making that song together, they both realized they’re actually cousins.
In a new GQ interview, Twigs said of Smith:
“I’d never met her before, and I jumped in her car with her… and I remember thinking to myself, ‘Gosh, that’s really strange: we’ve got exactly the same kind of skin.’ […] A few months later, I was on the road to go to LA and [Smith] left me a voice note saying, ‘You’re never going to believe this, but I’ve just spoken to my dad and he’s spoken to his sister and we’re related.’”
Meanwhile, Twigs has a lot going on right now. She recently launched her post-Caprisongs era with “Killer,” her first new song since the mixtape. She’s also expanding her acting profile, as it was reported last month she has landed a starring role in a reboot of The Crow.

Chance The Rapper extended an invitation on a trip to Ghana for Chief Keef on Twitter, over the weekend, and Chief Keef gave him a response. The two Chicago rappers discussed the trip after it was revealed that Kendrick Lamar had traveled to the country for a mini-doc published by Spotify.
“Ay @ChiefKeff let’s go to Ghana next month some time,” Chance wrote.
Chief Keef replied: “call my phone.”
With a Ghana trip being a possibility, fans can also be hopeful that the two rappers collaborate on new music. Last week, Chance released the single “Highs and Lows” with Joey Bada$$, sparking excitement for a second studio album.
“Thank you to all my fans and supporters that have been there since day one,” Chance said after dropping the song. “I wanted to give you guys the opportunity — to all my real fans — to be the first to hear my newest piece, ‘The Highs & The Lows’ featuring Joey Bada$$.”
He continued: “Because it’s so hard sometimes to connect with all of you, I need a favor. After you hear this song, I want you to send this to five people that maybe didn’t get a chance to hear it. Throw it in your group chat, send it to your best friend, or just play it out loud because the people gotta know The Return is now!”
A new album will be Chance’s first full-length project since his critically panned 2019 effort, The Big Day.

T.I. is putting VH1 on blast for canceling his reality series, “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle.”
In response to a meme that said “I wish TI Family Hustle still came on,” Tip ripped the network for its decision to suspend production, which came amid sexual abuse allegations.
“@vh1 13years no loyalty. No Integrity. Just jumped to conclusions,” he captioned the video clip, which was soundtracked by his Lil Jon collaboration “F**k Em.”
“False accusations. No apology. No accountability. No closure. In the name of protecting women…while unfairly, without due process….Subsequently punishing Women???… No problem,” he added alongside the middle finger emoji.
Back in February 2021, VH1 halted production on the fourth season of “Friends & Family Hustle” after T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris were accused of sexual abuse. At the time, Deadline reported that the decision to pause production was made mutually by MTV Entertainment, T.I., and Tiny.
The suspension came after multiple anonymous women accused the couple of drugging them and coercing them into compromising sexual situations. T.I. and Tiny denied the allegations, calling them “false” and “baseless.”
Prosecutors ultimately decided not to charge the couple with any crimes because the cases, including one in L.A. and Las Vegas, fell outside the statute of limitations.
“T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” premiered in October 2018 and aired for three seasons. The show, which chronciled the lives of the couple and their seven children as well as their friends, was renewed for a fourth season before production was suspended amid the allegations.
