The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in sports, but it’s also routinely a major moment in pop culture: The Emmys recently shared a list of the 75 most impactful TV moments of all time, and making the list were Janet Jackson’s Halftime Show and Whitney Houston’s National Anthem. The big game’s entertainment legacy will continue with this year’s match-up on February 11, and now we know who’s involved on the music side of things.

As Variety reports, at Super Bowl LVIII, Reba McEntire will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Post Malone will perform “America The Beautiful,” and Andra Day will sing “Lift Every Voice And Sing.” They all of course join Usher, who was previously announced as the halftime performer. Also worth noting is that all those performances will be accompanied by corresponding American Sign Language performances.

Malone has a busy year ahead of him beyond the Super Bowl, as he’s set to be all over the festival circuit this summer: He’s performing at Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Rolling Loud California, and even Stagecoach. Speaking of country music, McEntire is set to return to her role as a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice. As for Day, she’s starring in the upcoming movie The Deliverance.

Latto & Nicki Minaj Shade Rumors Continue With Former’s New Snippet

Another day, another chapter in the Nicki Minaj and Latto beef saga, one that keeps on giving despite both femcee’s efforts to reach across the aisle to other female artists. Moreover, this time around, it stems from the latter’s bar about “auntie hatin’, she burnt” on a new snippet of an upcoming collab with Anycia. Of course, this is just fan speculation, as there’s no shortage of alleged shots between these two and this is just as vague as the last couple of examples die-hards theorized. Still, it inspired as much debate as ever on social media, and continues the sad trend of always putting female rappers in a battlefield in ways that we don’t often do with male MCs.

Regardless, what’s done is done, and this feud was actually pretty direct at one point, originating over discrepancies in categorizations for award nominations that involved personal criticism from one to the other. As such, we can’t really blame fans for looking for these connections between Latto and Nicki Minaj, and they’ve even roped in plenty of other artists. For example, people think that Ice Spice has a feud with the 777 hitmaker, although that’s even more speculative and rumored than the battle with the Barbz. Whether there’s any weight behind this or not, another typical and unfortunate thing about these matchups is that, when fans pick a side, it’s hard for artists not to beef because of how much their supporters are feeding the narrative, and that goes for any artist in these situations.

Nicki Minaj Might’ve Caught A Stray In New Snippet: Listen

However, many fans rightfully want folks to focus on the music instead, and to give Anycia her flowers for this snippet. In fact, she came through on Twitter to praise the “Grinch Freestyle” lyricist and her sister for the great times. “latto is such an amazing girl,” she wrote. “so sweet & down to earth. humble, selfless & very welcoming. love her down. prolly my favorite person i’ve met. brooke too. best pair of sisters. REAL girl girls!!!!” The song sounds great from what we’ve heard, so we look forward to hearing what else Anycia brings to the table.

Lebron James Watches Bronny’s USC Game While Doing Media Interviews

LeBron James was a little more distracted than usual during his post-game media interviews, as he tried to watch his son Bronny take on Arizona at the same time. The first indication that James was not giving the media his full attention was when he rebuffed scrum reporters in the tunnel saying he had to go watch Bronny. While James did fulfill his media obligations, he would often look past the reporters to focus on the screen showing the USC game.

However, he focused a little more when one reporter asked him whether it was tougher to lose with the Lakers or watch Bronny and USC struggle. “Watching college basketball alone is tough. Then you add my son in there, it’s even … yeah, yeah, cause I’m … it’s hard to watch. It’s hard to watch. Yeah, I’m a dad, but also, love the game of basketball and college basketball, just, it’s like ten people in the paint at the same time. It’s very hard at times to watch. But USC’s a great program, Arizona’s a great program, you get a good opportunity to watch some good basketball in this game,” James said.

LeBron Wins, Bronny Loses

The Lakers moved back to a .500 record with a big win over the Dallas Mavericks. James went 25/8/8 on the night while Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell also both recorded 25+ points. The Lakers have now won four of their last six games as fans hope that their dismal post-IST run is now at an end. The team is next in action against the Nets on January 19.

However, Bronny and the Trojans weren’t as fortunate. With Kevin Durant courtside, the younger James played well but the No. 12 Wildcats played better. The 82-67 loss dropped USC to 8-10 and marked their third consecutive loss. The Trojans are now second-to-last in the Pac-12, having started conference play 2-5. Despite this, Bronny’s 11/5/6 impressed Durant. “He was aggressive. He played well,” the Suns star said. However, James’ aggressive play proved costly, as he also committed five turnovers. Next up for the Trojans is 10-7 (4-2 Pac-12) Arizona State.

Snoop Dogg Says OnlyFans Tried Getting Him To Post NSFW Content On The Platform, And He Explained Why He Said No

Perhaps more than any rapper ever, Snoop Dogg isn’t afraid to put himself out there, throwing himself into whatever brand deals or other sorts of opportunities present themselves. It turns out there is a line he won’t cross, though: OnlyFans. The platform, best known for hosting NSFW content from creators, apparently once reached out to Snoop, who explained why he shut them down.

On the debut episode of comedian Slink Johnson’s Wake & Bake With Double S Express Instagram Live show on January 15 (as HipHopDX notes), Snoop was the guest. During the conversation, OnlyFans came up and Snoop told his story, explaining, “They got at me when one of them little girls made like $20 million on there. They were like, ‘OnlyFans wants you to come on there, Snoop! You could do about $100 million. All you gotta do is pull that thang out.’ I’m like, ‘I got a Black wife, n****. Ain’t no way in the world she gonna allow me to go on there and pull that thang out for no amount of money!’”

Snoop, meanwhile, is preparing for a different (and more TV-friendly) gig, as it was recently announced that he’ll be a part of NBC’s 2024 Paris Olympics coverage.

Kanye West Reportedly Filmed A 40-Minute Apology For His Anti-Semitic Ramblings

Kanye West got himself into a lot of trouble at the end of 2022 thanks to his sickening anti-semitism. Overall, his pivot to Nazi talking points was unexpected, to say the least. Although some thought it was simply a ploy to leave Adidas, it appeared to be much more than that. He was on Alex Jones’ show and he was even working with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Needless to say, it was a very harrowing time for those who care about the artist. Even now, many of his fans feel alienated from ever supporting him again.

As it stands, Ye is in the midst of a messy rollout for his new album, Vultures. The album has been hit with some serious delays as of late. At this point, no one really knows if it is ever going to come out. However, the fact that it hasn’t been scrapped yet is at least a little bit encouraging. That said, according to TMZ, Ye has plans to release a special video ahead of his album’s release. The content of this video? Well, it is apparently a 40-minute apology to anyone he offended over his anti-semitism.

As the outlet reports, Ye sat down with camera crews and filmed a lengthy apology. Although the content of the apology is unknown, it’s clear that he wants to make amends. However, it should come as no surprise that people would be skeptical of this. After all, he previously dropped a shortened apology that some accused of being written by Chat GPT. Regardless, Vultures is currently set for a February 9th release, which means the apology could be coming out very soon.

Let us know what you think of this development, in the comments section below. Do you think Ye is going to be sincere? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
