Logic Returns With Young Sinatra Favorites On “YS Collection Vol. 1”

by

From 2011 to 2013, Logic shared three projects from his Young Sinatra mixtape series. They include Young Sinatra, Young Sinatra: Undeniable, and Young Sinatra: Welcome to Forever, and earlier this week, Logic announced that many of the songs would finally make their way to DSPs. It’s taken the rapper some time to get things squared away behind the scenes, but he was excited to share the news with fans.

“It’s taken us years but we finally cleared songs from over ten years ago for the fans to enjoy!” he wrote on Instagram. “Many of you for the first time. The YS Collection is compiled of songs from the Young Sinatra mixtape series. You’ve asked me for years and I’m happy to say it’s finally here! Available everywhere Friday #RattPack.”

Rihanna Turned The Matching Shark Tattoo She Got With Drake Into A Crown

Rihanna might not have given fans a new album yet, but she’s has given them a new romance to fawn over. The singer and ASAP Rocky are the music world’s latest couple and their respective supporters got a decent glimpse at the lovebirds as they were seen walking together on their way to a date in New York City. While many had their eyes on the musicians, their outfits, and even a bouncer for a bar who refused to let the singer in because she forgot her ID, some noticed something small, yet fairly interesting, about Rihanna.

An image of the singer revealed that she turned the matching shark tattoo she received with Drake into a crown. She got the tattoo around September 2016 and weeks later Drake was seen with a matching one on his right arm. This of course occurred when Drake and Rihanna were dating and shared their respective collaborations “Too Good” and “Work.” While it’s unknown when the singer modified the tattoo, Rihanna’s fans had plenty to say about it in a number of posts they shared on Twitter.

One person wrote, “OOP! Rihanna covered up the shark tattoo she got for/with Drake” while another said, “Rihanna covered the shark tattoo…. I know Drake somewhere out there bawling his eyes out.”

As for the new couple that is Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, the latter spoke about the relationship in light detail during a GQ interview. The rapper labeled her as “the love of my life” and dove a bit deeper when he was asked how it feels to be in a relationship. “So much better,” he said. “So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones.”

Britney Spears Apologizes For ‘Pretending Like I’ve Been OK’ Following Her Conservatorship Hearing

Brintey Spears saw fans rush to her defense once again on Wednesday after details of her conservatorship hearing were made available to the public. It was here that the singer spoke to a judge for the first time in the thirteen years that conservatorship has existed and asked that it be terminated. She labeled it as “abusive” and added, “I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. I just want my life back.” She also detailed the restrictive lifestyle it forced her to live.

Her comments resulted in an outpour of support from the music world, which included her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake. On Thursday, for the first time since that hearing, Spears spoke out in a message she shared on Instagram.

“I’m bringing this to peoples attention because I don’t want people to think my life is perfect because IT’S DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL,” she wrote in part under an image that displayed a quote written by Albert Einstein. “And if you have read anything about me in the news this week [newspaper emoji]… you obviously really know now it’s not !!!!

“I apologize for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years,” Spears wrote. “I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me … but honestly who doesn’t want to capture there Instagram in a fun light.” She concluded, “Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped.”

Mary J. Blige Rejects Idea Of “Verzuz”: “That’s Not On The Top Of My List”

by

Fans of Verzuz haven’t been quiet about their desire to see Mary J. Blige take to the stage. Over the past year or so, fans have been begging to see the Queen of Hp-Hop Soul share just a handful of her favorite hits, however, who her opponent may be has been called into question. Recently, there were rumors that Toni Braxton and Mary J. Blige would unite for a Verzuz on July 4, however, Verzuz quickly swooped in to lay the gossip to rest. 

“We love both ladies, but this is not a confirmed #VERZUZ event,” Verzuz shared earlier this week. “Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements on our future shows.”

During her recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Blige was asked if she would consider making an appearance on the popular series. “I don’t know what a Verzuz would do for me,” she said with a laugh. The hosts told her it isn’t about her, but for fans to celebrate her career and catalog. The singer laughed along with them but didn’t seem interested.

“I’m not sure what a Verzuz could do for Mary J. Blige right now, but um, right now, it’s not something that’s on the top of my list.” Fans are disappointed, but they seemed to understand her position. Check out the clip below.

Rudy Giuliani Gets Law License Suspended Due To Lies About 2020 Election: Report

by

As the attorney and right-hand man to former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani has made headlines over his dedication to the MAGA cause. The former mayor of New York has been hailed by the right and far-right while being reviled by those who oppose Trump, and because he was a lawyer to the president, a global audience carefully watched what Giuliani reported to constituents.

Giuliani has reportedly been under investigation over remarks he made during the 2020 Presidential Election and a New York court reportedly came down on him this week. According to The New York Times, Giuliani had his law license suspended for making “misleading statements.”

The Times reported that the suspension is temporary, meaning, for the time being, Giuliani is barred from practicing law in New York and may possibly be disbarred. The politician and lawyer previously argued that the 2020 Election was fraudulent, as did many other Republicans, but it may cost him his career. The court’s decision came in a 33-page document where they condemned Giuliani because his words and actions were reported as an “immediate threat” and “directly inflamed” the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

“One only has to look at the ongoing present public discord over the 2020 election, which erupted into violence, insurrection and death on Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol, to understand the extent of the damage that can be done when the public is misled by false information about the elections,” the court stated in documents.

“The seriousness of respondent’s uncontroverted misconduct cannot be overstated. This country is being torn apart by continued attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 election and of our current president, Joseph R. Biden,” the decision read. Next up for Giuliani are disciplinary proceedings where he can fight the decision, but the court made it clear that Guiliani would likely face “permanent sanctions.”

Guiliani’s lawyers were unsurprisingly upset with this latest news. “This is unprecedented as we believe that our client does not pose a present danger to the public interest,” they reportedly said. “We believe that once the issues are fully explored at a hearing, Mr. Giuliani will be reinstated as a valued member of the legal profession that he has served so well in his many capacities for so many years.”
