Jennifer Lopez Debuted A New Song, ‘This Is Me…Now,’ In A Rosy Pink ‘SNL’ Performance

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In her second performance of the night, Jennifer Lopez debuted new music on the Saturday Night Live stage. Ahead of her upcoming album, This Is Me…Now, Lopez premiered the album’s title track.

The song, which serves as the opener on This Is Me…Now, is downtempo ballad, on which, Lopez basks in the joy of her rekindled love with her now-husband, Ben Affleck.

“You met me halfway / Growing pains, broke some chains in every chapter / Now we know what it takes for our ever after / Took some lefts, now we’re right here where we are,” sings Lopez in the song’s opening verse.

Having made a loving reconnection, Lopez realizes that Affleck has helped her love herself even more.

“This is me now / And I took my time / Lot of winters summers baby / And I healed my heart / But I love who I am lately / This is me now,” sings Lopez on the song’s chorus.

While on stage, Lopez was dressed in pink roses, symbolizing a blissful new chapter — a brand new era of love and happiness, with the person she never stopped thinking about.

You can watch the performance of “This Is Me…Now” above.

Ayo Edebiri Seemingly Addressed Her Resurfaced Comments About Jennifer Lopez During A Game Show Sketch On ‘SNL’

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the modern day of technology, many of us have learned the hard lesson that past posts and comments can come back to haunt us. Such was the case for Ayo Edebiri on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

During a sketch, Edebiri, along with SNL cast members Andrew Dismuskes and Chloe Fineman, play contestants competing on a game show called Why Did I Say That?, hosted by Kenan Thompson. During the game show, Thompson retrieved past comments left on people’s posts by the contestants. The comments range from sexually objectifying to threatening death. The rules of the game entailed each contestant explaining why they left such comments on the posts.

After being forced to revisit those comments, Edebiri’s character decided she had enough.

“We get it,” Edebiri said. “It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast, and you don’t consider the impact because you’re 24 and stupid. But I think I speak for everyone when I say from now on, we’re gonna be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online.”

Perhaps Edebiri’s character is referring to a guest appearance she made on Laci Mosley’s Scam Goddess podcast back in 2020, during which, Edebiri alluded to rumors that Jennifer Lopez — who was tonight’s musical guest — uses ghost singers on her track.

“She thinks she’s on multiple tracks, but it’s not her,” Edebiri said at the time. “I think she thinks that she’s still good even though she’s not singing for most of these songs.”

Though tonight, it seemed that Lopez and Edebiri were both in good spirits. Perhaps they’ve put their differences aside?

Jennifer Lopez, Latto, And Redman Threw The Ultimate Wedding Bash During Their ‘Can’t Get Enough’ Performance On ‘SNL’

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tonight (February 3) Jennifer Lopez made her fifth appearance on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest. The performance arrives ahead of her upcoming album, This Is Me…Now, which will be accompanied by a film, streaming on Prime Video. And with her performance of the album’s lead single, “Can’t Get Enough,” Lopez gave us a taste of what to expect, by showing off her theatrics.

While on stage, Lopez moved effortlessly to the festive beat. Joined by dancers matching her energy, Lopez continued to ride the high ahead of This Is Me…Now, which was largely inspired by her rekindled romance with her now-husband, Ben Affleck.

Dressed in black and white, Lopez and her dancers were celebrating the ultimate wedding bash. Midway through the performance, she was joined by rapper Latto, who contributed a verse to the song’s remix, which was released last month. While Latto’s surprise appearance was rather short, she didn’t once miss a beat.

Toward the end of the performance, rapper Redman made a surprise appearance, adding yet another new verse to “Can’t Get Enough.”

Usher Intends To Honor Black Artists With Super Bowl Halftime Show

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher says he’s planning to pay tribute to iconic Black artists of the past with his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. He discussed his plans for the show with Good Morning America for an interview on Friday.

“I think about what our country has kind of represented for Black artists,” Usher said. “You know, having to at some point go through kitchens to even be able to perform for an audience, but they had to leave back through that same door, fear for their lives as they went to the next state to do the same thing. So I’m coming through the front door with this one.”

Usher Attends Super Bowl LVI

“I didn’t start where I am now, and I didn’t get there by myself,” he said. “So, everybody that has been a part of it, I’m carrying them with me. All of my fans, my loved ones, the people who may have felt like they have been forgotten, they haven’t. I’m carrying you right with me when I walk on that stage that night.” As for what else to expect from the show, he previously told Extra that fans can expect some high-profile guests to join him onstage. “I’ve also collaborated with a lot of people in the process, so… there’s a celebration there. … I just gave it all to you. You gotta decode it,” he said. In addition to the performance, Usher will be releasing a new album titled Coming Home. Check out Usher’s full conversation about the Super Bowl below.

Usher Discusses Plans For The Super Bowl

The Super Bowl will feature the Kansas City Chiefs in their fourth appearance since the 2019 season taking on the San Francisco 49ers. The two teams previously squared off in the championship that same year. The Chiefs won the matchup 31-20. Be on the lookout for further updates on Usher and the Super Bowl on HotNewHipHop.

Jason Kelce Defends NFL Media’s Coverage Of Taylor Swift: “She’s A World Star”

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jason Kelce says he has no issue with the NFL media’s coverage of Taylor Swift. He discussed his brother Travis’ relationship with Swift with Caleb Noe, a reporter for Cincinnati ABC affiliate WCPO 9, in a recent interview.

“The attention is there because the audience wants to see it,” Jason said. “I mean, if people didn’t want to see it, they wouldn’t be showing it. I know that. She’s a world star. She’s the quintessential artist right now in the world, singer-songwriter, immensely talented, unbelievable role model for young women across the globe. So I think that the NFL would probably be foolish not to, you know, show her and be a role model for all the young girls out there.”

Throughout the season, Swift has been in attendance at numerous Kansas City Chiefs games in support of her boyfriend, Travis. In turn, the cameras, as well as the NFL’s social media pages, have often shifted their focus to the pop star. Check out Jason’s opinion on the situation below.

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake seemed to throw a bit of shade at Rihanna during the opening night of his It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? in Tampa, Florida on Friday night. As his 2016 song, “Work,” began to play, he remarked, “I don’t sing this song anymore, but you [all] can sing it though.”

Drake teamed up with Rihanna for “Work” to assist on the singer’s eighth studio album, Anti. The song was a commercial success, spending nine weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100. It was also nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards.

Friday night isn’t the first time Drake has appeared to diss Rihanna. On his For All The Dogs cut, “Fear of Heights,” he seemed to be referencing the singer and her album, Anti, with the lyrics. “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can’t ruin me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me,” Drake raps. “I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you … / And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH.”
