You miss all of the shots you never take, or so the saying goes, and Yung Bleu isn’t about to miss out on an opportunity. The Alabama hitmaker is hoping to be the next “it” rapper in the industry and he’s well on his way to achieving that goal. A DM conversation with Drake resulted in their “Your Mines Still” collaboration, and he’s hoping to take some of that magic over to Nicki Minaj.

Bleu recently linked up with Chris Brown and 2 Chainz to deliver their single “Baddest,” and while fans enjoy the R&B offering, Bleu Vandross wasted no time in firing off a tweet to the Queen rapper. “@NICKIMINAJ I fw u …I’m not just saying this cuz ww should do a song ….even tho we should lol,” he wrote.

Soon, fans were vying for the pair of artists to come together in the studio. Yet, there were those who came down on his just a bit, advising him that if Nicki reaches out in private, he shouldn’t post the DM exchange like he did when responding to Drake. Bleu laid the chatter to rest. “Drake told me to post when I posted,” Bleu revealed. “He said ‘post it so they can no it’s coming’ he hit me up some time before the world knew.”

Meanwhile, Bleu’s shot may have landed, because Nicki “liked” his tweet asking for a feature. “WTF ??? LET ME GET SOME SONGS READY IN CASE SHE REPLY TO MY DM.” Do you think Yung Bleu and Nicki Minaj should join forces? Check out a few tweets below.

The fallout from Chrissy Teigen’s recent scandal has been heavy. She was known as the quirky, clap-backing model mogul wife of John Legend who often got under Donald Trump’s skin, but after Courtney Stodden revealed that Teigen told her to take her own life when they were just a teen, Teigen faced backlash. There were reports that her products were being pulled from shelves and Teigen exited an acting gig, and following weeks of silence, Teigen has reemerged with a statement.

She opened by saying that the last few weeks have been “VERY humbling” as she contemplated the poor decisions that have led her to this place. “I want you to know I’ve been sitting in a hole of deserved global punishment, the ultimate ‘sit here and think about what you’ve done,'” she wrote.

“Not a single moment has passed where I haven’t felt the crushing weight of regret for the things I’ve said in the past,” she continued. “As you know, a bunch of my old awful (awful, awful) tweets resurfaced. I’m truly ashamed of them… I’ve apologized publicly to one person, but there are others — and more than just a few — who need to say I’m sorry to. I’m in the process of privately reaching out to the people I insulted.”

She added that she realizes that there will be people who don’t want to hear from her. “I was a troll, full stop. And I’m sorry.” Teigen went into a lengthy explanation about her social media behavior, calling herself “insecure” and “immature.” She wrote that reading through her past tweets has caused her to “cringe to my core,” feelings that she believes she deserves.

“I’m telling you this for context, not seeking or deserving any sympathy.” You can read through her full statement by swiping below.

Birthday extravaganzas are much more luxurious when you’re a rapper and your closest friends are wealthy rappers, as well. Over the weekend, Gunna celebrated his 28th birthday which seemed like an absolute ball, just by the videos that were surfacing on Instagram. He was joined by his closest friends including Lil Baby. Though the two rappers have seemingly grown distant in the public eye, they still have a close bond and that was evident from Baby’s gift to Gunna. The 4PF rapper gifted Gunna a shoebox of $100K in cash.

Baby’s gift to Gunna became a topic of discussion on social media after it went viral. TMZ recently caught up with the rapper to ask him a bit about his birthday celebrations while he was shopping on Rodeo. The rapper had just dropped bags on some new clothes before hopping into his Rolls Royce. He discussed Baby’s recent gift to him until an overzealous fan with a megaphone interrupted Gunna to complement his attire and wish him a happy birthday. In fact, the man kinda broke into song to send his wishes to Gunna. The rapper clearly didn’t mind and went on his way afterward. 

Gunna revealed that he hasn’t spent the money Baby gifted him just yet but he did say that he’s thinking about how he’ll return the favor to the My Turn rapper in December.

Celebrities will pay a pretty penny on their teeth, whether they’re getting professional dental work done or just throwing some jewelry in their mouths. We’ve previously reported on several artists opting for veneers—a procedure that can set someone back tens of thousands of dollars—while others decide on grills where they drop a few stacks on gold, platinum, or everyone’s favorite, diamonds.

Post Malone is no stranger to switching things up and he reportedly executed a major flex by spending $1.6 million on his veneers, and the price included a pair of diamond fangs.

According to TMZ, Posty underwent major dental reconstruction that “included 28 units of ceramic restoration.” That seems all fine and well, but he opted to install two diamond fangs that totaled 12 carats. The work was a partnership that involved “celeb dentist Thomas Connelly, cosmetic dentist Naoki Hayashi and Isaac Bokhoor and his team at Angel City Jewelers.”

A few celebrities who have recently shown off their new pearly white veneers include A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie,  Lil Yachty, NBA YoungBoy, Layzie Bone, Moneybagg Yo, and 21 Savage. Many artists have taken out their grills to display new smiles but none have come close to that $1.6 million number. Check out a few images of Malone’s new teeth below.

There’s hardly a month that passes where Trey Songz doesn’t end up making headlines. The singer nearly found himself in yet another controversial internet moment when a video of him sleeping hit the Internet. Now, it wasn’t a video of the singer simply nodding off captured by one of his homeboys. It was a video shared by a woman which led to immediate speculation that they might be more than friends.

Shortly after the video started making rounds, a woman named Dime Racks cleared the air and stated that she did not share the video with any malicious intent. In fact, she said that she really didn’t think that it would cause this much blowback.

“I want to publicly apologize to Trey. I never really meant for anything to, like, go to the extreme to The Shade Room, like, that’s runnin’ out,” she explained. “I never posted it to Facebook. Somebody took it to Facebook and that’s how it blew up and it got to The Shade Room. And I post things to my Snap all the time with different celebrities that’s never gotten to The Shade Room. So, I don’t know how the situation with Trey got there but I wanna apologize.

Trey has yet to respond to the apology, at least publicly but he did make a concerted effort to address the video with a little bit of help from Shaggy. The rapper shared a video to his story with “Wasn’t Me” playing in the background, right when Shaggy sings, “But she caught me on the counter (wasn’t me)/ Saw me bangin’ on the sofa (wasn’t me).”

Peep Trey’s response below. 

She recently asked for “peace” during this time, as she’s facing both the arrival of her third child and divorce, but Erica Mena’s split from Safaree Samuels is receiving pop culture attention. The Love & Hip Hop couple shared the development of their romance for reality-television audiences on several shows, and fans even got a first-hand look at the pair’s emotional wedding ceremony. However, not even two years into their marriage, Safaree and Erica are calling it quits.

Not long after sharing with the world that they’re expecting their second child, Samuels and Mena announced their divorce. We previously reported that Mena allegedly wants primary custody of their children, while Samuels argued for joint custody.

It was also recently reported that Safaree wanted to be in the delivery room during Erica’s labor, but TMZ states that the pregnant mother and her doctor should be the people who make such a decision. Mena has taken to her social media accounts to share videos and images of herself in the hospital, and in court documents, she reportedly stated that the stress that Safaree has caused her was the reason why she had to be admitted.

In court documents, Mena is said to have accused her estranged husband of failing “to be involved in her care or to visit her at the hospital during her most recent stay, where she remained overnight for many days related to her pregnancy.” She reportedly accuses Safaree of making certain divorce requests “in hopes of obtaining ‘good publicity’ and painting [Erica] as the instigator, while in actuality, [Erica’s] the only parent ensuring the parties’ children’s safety and acting in their best interest.”

Additionally, Safaree faced accusations that the root cause of his divorce stemmed from allegations that he impregnated another woman. He took to his Instagram Story to deny the gossip. Check it out below.
