It looks like Ray J and Princess Love are officially back on, although it may be difficult to keep track. For those not keeping tabs on the constant see-saw between the two, a few weeks back, Ray J revealed on TMZ Live that the two were making a move to Miami for a fresh start, although he refused to confirm at the time if they had reconciled.
Princess was the first to file for divorce last year, before retracting, although Ray J eventually filed his own paperwork to end his marriage. The two share a two-year-old daughter Melody and 14-month-old son Epik.
Now, it’s been revealed by TMZ that the two essentially dissolved their divorce once again, in February. Princess filed dismissal paperwork, and Ray signed off on it. The dismissal was given without prejudice, so the pair are free to go through with the process again in the future if they wish.
“We’re taking it one day at a time.” Ray J said in last month’s interview concerning their relationship. “Back together? I think that’s just a journey that we gotta take, but I think we are together and we love being together. Now, it’s just figuring out, how do we keep it consistent and how to we enjoy life together and be good together because I think we’re meant to be together.”
Following that, Ray J also revealed on the morning show The Real, a little over a month ago, that he and Princess were enjoying their time together in Miami and that time heals all wounds.
It looks like that’s certainly the case for them. We’ll keep you posted on their love saga.

Michael Sullivan, the half-brother of Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi of the group Rae Sremmurd, has reportedly been charged with first-degree murder over the death of his father Floyd Sullivan Jr., the rappers’ step-dad.
The report comes via TMZ, which says D.A. John Weddle informed the publication of the charges following a grand jury hearing in January. If he’s convicted, Michael reportedly faces life in prison. He is not currently facing the death penalty. There is no reported date for the case to head to trial.
Bernadette Walker, Michael’s mother, previously said that she thought her son, who had been struggling with schizoaffective disorder, was off his medication before the shooting. He had reportedly been having episodes with her before moving in with his father.
Michael Sullivan was arrested in January 2020 as a suspect in his father’s murder. As TMZ points out, Rae Sremmurd had previously posed in pictures with their half-brother and were seemingly pretty close to him.
We will keep you updated with details on the case when it heads to trial.
Rae Sremmurd has been teasing the release of their new album SremmLife4 on-and-off for the last couple of years. Swae Lee has been enjoying a fruitful career as a songwriter and solo artist in the meantime, but he has maintained that he and his brother’s work as Rae Sremmurd will always be the priority.
Pop Smoke’s acting debut in the film Boogie is officially upon us with the movie earning its theatrical release last week. The Brooklyn rapper was on pace to become the next crossover superstar, making a huge splash on the charts with his posthumous debut album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon, which included the hit songs “For The Night” featuring Lil Baby and DaBaby, “The Woo” with 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch, “What You Know Bout Love”, and “Mood Swings” featuring Lil Tjay.
As part of the rollout for Boogie, another posthumous single was released by Pop Smoke’s team called “AP”. The track unpacks the late rapper’s love for expensive jewelry, especially his Audemars Piguet watches. A music video was released for the song on Wednesday, alternating between footage from the film, videos of Pop performing, and unreleased content with the artist.
Watch the music video above and be sure to check out Boogie, as well. The soundtrack is available here, with more new music from Pop Smoke.
Ten years ago, The Weeknd emerged from the shadows of Toronto, protecting his anonymity with the release of his debut mixtape House Of Balloons. The body of work contained songs that went on to jumpstart the superstar career of the formerly-homeless artist, including “High For This”, “Wicked Games”, and more.
Since then, The Weeknd has become a household name, performing for millions at home at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime show and spending an entire year in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 with “Blinding Lights”, one of the biggest hits of the century. With the 10-year anniversary of House Of Balloons approaching in a few days, Abel Tesfaye has announced that he will re-release his debut mixtape on all digital streaming platforms, bundling the project with 1,000 limited-edition vinyls and exclusive merchandise.
The album artwork has been reimagined by artist Daniel Arsham, who said the following: “The summer of 2011 will always be marked by House of Balloons. Like a time travel device, the album transports me back to that specific moment in time every time I listen. It is a great privilege to work with The Weeknd and the XO Team to reimagine the iconic album art of House of Balloons as an eroded sculpture for the ten year anniversary. Alongside the transparent vinyl and eroded album artwork – we also worked on a collection of merchandise including a Varsity Jacket, blending my own aesthetic with that of The Weeknd’s.”
The re-release will include all original samples and mixes. It will be presented in its original incarnation, marking the first time it will ever be available on Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, and other DSPs.
The mixtape will be re-released on Sunday, March 21. What’s your favorite song from House Of Balloons?
Tragic news struck yesterday in the Atlanta area after it was reported that a string of fatal shootings at three different spas and massage parlors in the Atlanta area left eight people dead, including six Asian women. Police apprehended the suspect yesterday before his mugshot was publicly released.
Police arrested 21-year-old White male Robert Aaron Long earlier today who admitted to the shootings, though denied that it was racially motivated, per Captain Jay Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s office. Long was arrested several hours after the shootings South of the Atlanta area after a manhunt and this morning, his image was released to the public.
Long reportedly told police that he had a sex addiction and shot up the spas to eliminate the sexual temptation. Long told investigators that he blames the massage parlors for providing an outlet for his addiction to sex,” a press release stated. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said that he was heading to Florida after the shootings to possibly commit other crimes.
The Daily Beast recently published a report revealing that the suspect’s father was a pastor and Long, too, was “big into religion,” according to his former classmate. He was also heavily involved in the Crabapple First Baptist Church where he attended with his family.
