Lizzo Gets Support From SZA While Firing Back At Responses To Her Weight Transformation On Instagram

by

Lizzo shared some tips for discovering self-love on her Instagram page over the weekend, while showing off the workout regime that helped her weight transformation. While narrating some highlights of herself hitting the gym, Lizzo explained that she’s in love with her body, despite it being bigger than at other times in her life.

“There’s been a lot of comments on my body lately, so this workout video comes with a message,” she began. “I love this fat a** okay. I love my body, and that’s incredible because there were times in my life when I was smaller than I am now, and I hated myself.” She added: “Our bodies grow and sag and stretch and shrink, and true body positivity is not fighting that. It’s honoring that. So wherever you are in your journey, I ain’t gon’ judge ya, just as long as you’re on a path to love.”

Timbaland Works With Rising Talent N3WYRKLA Once Again For “Mind Now” Featuring Skilla Baby

by

N3WYRKLA is continuing to make a name for herself out on the East Coast, specifically New Jersey. She blends pop rap, R&B, and alterative to create a unique identity. Since launching her professional career in 2023, she’s already gained some notoriety with some established veterans and legends alike. You could argue she got her big break when she got to feature on the most recent album from R&B stalwart Brent Faiyaz, Larger Than Life. Her song with him and A$AP Rocky, “Outside All Night”, has racked up over 52 million streams. Perhaps due to that record, N3WYRKLA is now getting the chance to develop a work relationship with arguably the biggest hitmaking producer of the 2000s, Timbaland.

We covered their first-ever collaboration, “CH3RRY”, and it’s done well with listeners (614,090 streams) and our readers since its June release. Now, we are covering the latest N3WYRKLA and Timbo effort, “mind now”. But this time, she’s recruiting another artist for this release. Skilla Baby, one of the most in-demand guests right now, is coming along for this “messy” love cut. N3WYRKLA is playing the role of one of the Detroit MC’s other options. He’s having a hard time deciding whether or not he wants to date the singer or his “girlfriend”. N3WYRKLA is done with the mind games and wants Skilla to make up his mind and now.

Tyler The Creator Joins Cast Of New A24 Film Starring Timothee Chalamet

by

When Tyler The Creator released one of his fan favorites loosies, 2018’s “OKRA,” he might not have expected the following line to be so prophetic: “Tell Tim’ Chalamet to come get at me.” Moreover, news recently broke that the Hawthorne artist and Supreme trailblazer joined the cast of Marty Supreme, a new A24 film directed and co-written by Josh Safdie. The film centers around professional ping pong player Marty Reisman per Variety and also stars Gwyneth Paltrow and, wouldn’t you know it, Mr. Lisan al Gaib himself Timothee Chalamet. This marks Tyler’s feature film debut (not playing himself: thanks, Jackass Forever) after many self-directed music videos, film scoring/soundtracking, Loiter Squad skits, and other television collabs.

As far as other details surrounding Marty Supreme, Safdie will write the film alongside Uncut Gems co-writer Ronald Bernstein. They also produced the flick alongside Timothée Chalamet, A24, Anthony Katagas, and Eli Bush. Other than that, we don’t know much else about it at press time, but we’re definitely excited. We all know how passionate Tyler, The Creator can be about his artistic and creative endeavors. After all, he told Kanye West to stop using backing tracks at his shows and let people enjoy the performance right there in front of them.

Tyler, The Creator Will Become Tyler, The Actor

But this passion can often be misconstrued. For example, Tyler, The Creator’s recent criticisms about an unnamed white rapper (who many assumed to be Ian) caused much controversy and debate. Still, many understand where he’s coming from, even if they ran with the unconfirmed narrative that he’s talking about the Valedictorian. “You n***as got to do a little [more],” Joe Budden posited. “My famous people guard is up, y’all got to do a little more before I start running around saying ‘Ian.’ Who the f**k is Ian? Alright. Rest in peace Mac Miller, for sure, and couldn’t agree with him more on that point [about Mac and Eminem being more genuine]. I don’t know enough about Ian, but what I can say about Mac Miller, Russ, Eminem: they love this s**t.”

Meanwhile, Tyler The Creator recently walked back on his previous criticism of Eminem, showing that not all his takes last forever. As such, seeing the overreaction to his white rapper comments was at least entertaining, albeit nauseating at a certain point. Whatever the former Odd Future MC has for us on Marty Supreme, we’re sure it’ll be special… And maybe comes with a hot take or two for social media to blow out of proportion.

Haute Living Celebrates Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson

“In life,” says Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who just released his novel The Accomplice, “you don’t get a second chance at a first impression. I think my first impression was big enough. I had the largest debut hip-hop album in history as I came in.”  

Also sharing this little nugget from the 50 Cent Haute Living Cover Story about Eminem’s daughter’s wedding. If used, must link back to cover story.

On attending Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade’s wedding: “It was unbelievable, the wildest thing for me, period. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, this is crazy. We’re getting old. Your baby is grown. What the fuck is going on?’ I was having a moment myself over there. I told Em, ‘You said it was OK to cry, because I’m crying.’ I couldn’t believe it went that fast.”“

I wish I had a daughter. I wish I had that [father-daughter] relationship. For female children, their dad is the first man they fall in love with. Male children go to their mom; I’m a mama’s boy myself.”

Tyler The Creator Is Making His Film Acting Debut In An A24 Movie With Timothée Chalamet And Gwyneth Paltrow

The Odd Future collective is taking over Hollywood. The Bear star Lionel Boyce is getting nominated for Emmys, Jasper Dolphin is part of the Jackass family, and now Tyler The Creator is making his feature-length film debut.

The “WusYaName” rapper has joined the cast of Marty Supreme, an upcoming A24 film from director Josh Safdie that also stars Timothée Chalamet and the queen of Goop herself, Gwyneth Paltrow. Maybe this time she’ll remember being in the movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “plot details remain under wraps, but while it was previously rumored to be loosely inspired by a pro ping-pong player, the movie is said to be a fictionalized original film.”

Tyler previously starred in Adult Swim’s sketch series Loiter Squad and he also co-created The Jellies! with Boyce. Maybe he can ask Funny People scene stealer Eminem for some acting tips after he recently made nice with the rapper after trashing his 2010 album, Recovery.

“When [Recovery] came out, I f*cking hated it,” Tyler confessed. “Hated it, publicly was like, ‘This sh*t is wack,’ didn’t like it. And after watching [Painkillers], I felt so bad about those tweets and things like that, because thinking from his perspective, someone like me publicly saying that stuff and him getting off drugs and being clean and getting to a point in life where that’s behind him, and me implying, ‘Nah, this sh*t is wack.’ He probably felt like I was attacking him.”

‘The Bear’ Star Lionel Boyce’s Emmys Outfit Included A Nod To His Odd Future Days

The Bear didn’t get a second consecutive Outstanding Comedy Series trophy at the 2024 Emmys, but the show hardly went home empty handed. Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Liza Colón-Zayas all won in their retrospectives categories, and co-creator Christopher Storer was presented with Outstanding Directing for the “Fishes” episode. Lionel Boyce didn’t officially win anything, but he won the hearts of Loiter Squad fans everywhere by wearing clothing with a nod back to his Odd Future days.

As noted by GQ, Boyce, who plays pastry chef Marcus on the FX series, was “dressed in a smart black zip jacket with roomy pleated trousers, a club collar shirt with a pastel pink tie, and a wool baseball cap, all from Odd Future founder Tyler, the Creator’s label Golf Le Fleur.” He took off the beanie, so you know it was a big deal.

“Custom @lefleur for the Emmys,” Boyce wrote on Instagram. “Thank you Tyler, @darrenvongphakdy, @bykaidan, and @ruby.vickers for making it happen. Also thanks @nilou_nilou for always helping with the styling.”

Ahead of the Emmys, Boyce told Variety that he was on a plane when he learned about his first nomination. “I was asleep, and I woke up to a text,” he said. “I didn’t buy Wi-Fi, and I forgot to put my phone on airplane mode, so I got a random text saying, ‘Hot damn!’ I woke up all confused, and there were a couple of people on the plane who knew, so they said, ‘Congrats’ and stuff.”

The Bear season 4 does not currently have a premiere date.

Cardi B Passionately Defends Tyla Amid Viral Backlash To Her VMAs Controversy

by

Cardi B has come to Tyla’s defense as she’s been facing backlash on social media for her appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, last week. While accepting the award for Best Afrobeats Video, she passed the trophy off to Lil Nas X and joked about struggling to carry it while speaking. Fans on social media have been labeling the move “rude” in response.

“Tyla wishes she never won that f*cking VMA award,” Cardi said while discussing the incident on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces. “If she would’ve known that that f*cking VMA award would’ve brought so much hate, so much criticism. I bet for a fact she’ll be crying tonight. The internet is insufferable. The way that you guys will take a picture, take a moment, and make it something that it’s not, and then just crush somebody.” From there, she described the internet’s reaction as “bullying.”

As caught by VIBE, she added: “You gotta worry about motherf**kin’ doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a motherf**king’ 10-pound f**kin’ [award] in your motherf**kin’ hand. So I just don’t think you understand how f**king heavy those f**kin’ awards are. Also, I met Tyla in person. I’m 5’3″, so I’m already short, and she’s shorter than me. No lie, she’s shaped really beautifully, but she’s very very skinny. Skinny like, Mariah-type skinny. She has to weigh like 109 pounds. So imagine you’re 109 pounds and you gotta carry a 10 f**king award with heels. She literally asked Lil Nas X. Y’all are trying to make this into an, ‘Oh, how rude is she? She asked another female artist to hold her award like she’s the help.’ I love Halle but she didn’t even ask Halle to hold the award! She asked Lil Nas X, a man, to hold it.”

Cardi B Comes To Tyla’s Defense

Tyla previously addressed the controversy in a post on X. “Y’all make everything weird… I was not asking my girl Halle… We just girls, STFU I WON A VMAAAA,” she wrote. She took home the award due to the success of her song, “Water.” Check out Cardi B’s full comments on Tyla on Instagram below.
