Overnight, dozens and dozens of celebrities took to social media to show off their Halloween costumes. Some took a humorous approach dressing up as contemporary pop cultural figures or making jokes out of their outfits. Others attempted to replicate their source material as perfectly as possible. Tyga in particular pulled through with an impressive Hellraiser costume that had fans in his comments calling him the “king of Halloween.”
Lil Nas X on the other hand pulled off a variety of looks. He first went viral when he disappeared into a Little Richard costume. Nas X impressively morphed into the rock legend for a pair of Instagram posts that compared his look side-by-side with pictures and videos of Richard. But that wasn’t all Lil Nas had planned for Halloween. He shared two more videos overnight showing off a much more NSFW costume. The clips show him strutting down the street while dressed up as a bloody tampon. Check out the videos below.
In the comments, fans are divided. Even some who think the costume is funny also shared their issues with it. “I enjoy this look but the fact that you personally have never experienced the stigma, shame or pain involved with having a period makes me pause and think……. But why though?” one of the comments reads.
But others saw what Lil Nas X did as ultimately helpful. “A lot of people in the comments are annoying, saying “you don’t know how badly it hurts so don’t dress like period” but please, can we agree that, besides the fact that it’s freaking funny, it’s also important to TALK ABOUT PERIODS,” another top comment reads. It’s only the most recent time that Lil Nas has found himself in trouble for some kind of NSFW stunt, though many of his fans seem to love it. What do you think of Lil Nas X dressing as a bloody tampon for Halloween? Let us know in the comment sections below.
During her recent appearance on SHERRI, Tina Knowles opened up about seeing her granddaughter Blue Ivy perform at theRenaissance tour. According to her, the 11-year-old’s appearance was supposed to be a “one-time thing,” but Beyonce’s daughter had other ideas. Knowles recalls being nervous for Blue Ivy ahead of her first performance. The pre-teen quickly proved, however, that she wouldn’t let anything hold her back.
As for whether or not Blue Ivy had a grasp of the magnitude of what she was doing, Knowles said “I don’t think so.” The proud grandmother continued, revealing that her passion is what guided her. “She just loves to dance and she was watching the girls rehearse and she said, ‘I think I’m ready to go on stage,’ and her mom said ‘no no I don’t think so Blue.’ Then she thought about it, and said ‘if you work hard and you really come with it then we’ll let you go one time.’ So it was supposed to be a one-time thing.”
Clearly, things went off without a hitch. Blue Ivy went on to be featured through the remainder of the tour. According to her grandmother, she and her father couldn’t be more excited to see her on stage. “Me and her dad we were together every night,” Knowles explained. “And he would come to the front where I was and watch that. I was in tears and he was grinning so hard I thought his face would hurt.”
“She’s only 11 years old,” Knowles described. “And to get in front of 70 thousand people at 11 is huge.” What do you think of Tina Knowles revealing that Blue Ivy’s Renaissance tour appearance was supposed to be a one time thing?

Suge Knight says that women are in control of the music industry at the moment. Speaking on the state of hip-hop during a recent episode of his new podcast, Collect Call, the Death Row Records co-founder shared heaps of praise for a number of younger female artists.
“I think the industry is controlled by the baddest b*tches in the world,” he began. “The females got that sh*t on lock and when you look at the women, they came such a long way and they’re really, really strong. They’re not in the shadows of a man; they’re leading the way. I think Cardi B is incredible. That’s probably one of the biggest stars in the industry and a great business woman that leads the way.” From there, he praised Doja Cat, Summer Walker, Lizzo, and SZA as well.

Knight also praised the women for their beauty, noting that they all look like “runway models.” Despite this, he clarified that he’s not trying to “holla at them.” “These new bitches so motherf*ckin’ pretty, the rappers and the singers and the people in the industry can’t wait to get on social media and say, ‘Look who I got! Look who I’m dating!’ That’s how bad these b*tches are and they don’t just sound good, they look good,” he continued. “And I ain’t on no weirdo sh*t. I’m content where I am with my age. I ain’t tryna holla at them or nothing like that. I just give them they motherf*ckin’ [flowers]. They the ones that run the industry.”

Brandy’s status as an R&B icon is unquestionable. The singer, songwriter, and actress have had a prolific career, releasing timeless classics over the course of seven studio albums. Nearly 30 years since she released her debut album back in 1994, the Vocal Bible is still actively releasing music with a brand new Christmas album dropping this month. Known for her impeccable vocal range and intricate overdubbing that continues to shine on records like Ty Dolla $ign’s “No Tomorrow Pt. 2,” Brandy has her fair share of hit songs including seven that cracked the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. As we anticipate Christmas With Brandy, here are her biggest top 10 hits. Take a look at the list below.
The album version of “Brokenhearted” from Brandy’s 1994 self-titled debut album was originally a solo track. However, the single version was reimagined as a duet alongside Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men. The reworked edition of “Brokenhearted” was the fourth and final single from Brandy’s debut album and became one of her biggest hits. The ballad reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, joining her debut album’s first few singles to chart within the top 10.
6. “What About Us?” (2002)
Brandy’s 2002 album, Full Moon saw her dive into the pop realm. It drew inspiration from electronic dance music genres like UK garage and electro. The album’s lead single, “What About Us?” is a Rodney Jerkins-produced electro-funk track, over which Brandy smoothly expresses her frustrations over a former lover. The song’s clunky instrumentation exemplified the deviation in sound from her first two albums. While “What About Us?” was met with mixed reception at the time of its release, it still performed successfully on the charts, landing a spot at #7 on the Hot 100. It is also her most recent single to crack the top 10.
Brandy’s debut single is a bonafide classic. “I Wanna Be Down” embodies the pairing of R&B and hip-hop that defined the music of the 1990s. The lighthearted and flirtatious content of the song was fitting for Brandy, who was only 15 years old at the time of the album’s release. While her subject matter eventually matured, “I Wanna Be Down” is a definitive song in Brandy’s catalog. It has been sampled numerous times in hip-hop, dance, and pop music. Brandy’s debut single performed quite well on the charts, landing the No. 6 spot and marking her very first top 10 hit.
4. “Baby” (1994)
Brandy’s second single from her debut album performed even better than “I Wanna Be Down.” Charting at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Baby” captivated audiences through its hip-hop drum break, soulful melodies, and catchy chorus. Much like “I Wanna Be Down,” it became a ’90s R&B classic over time. In addition to its position at #4, “Baby” also spent four weeks atop the Hot R&B singles chart.
“Sittin’ Up in My Room” supported the 1995 movie, Waiting to Exhale, starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett. The Babyface-produced instrumental utilizes a slapping bassline and upbeat grooves to perfectly complement Brandy’s vocals. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was her biggest track until the release of her second album.
2. “Have You Ever?” (1998)
Brandy’s 1998 album, Never Say Never contains both of Brandy’s biggest top 10 hits. “Have You Ever?” is a soft R&B and pop ballad with luscious instrumentation. In the lyrics, she pleads her love to someone who does not reciprocate, framing the emotion in the form of a series of questions. “Have You Ever?” was the second single from Never Say Never to top the Billboard charts. The song’s only rival is another massive track from Brandy’s second album.
“The Boy Is Mine” is undoubtedly Brandy’s biggest track. A duet with Monica, the song marked the first No. 1 hit for both singers. It was the lead single for both Never Say Never and Monica’s second album, The Boy Is Mine. In the song, the two fight over a man, emulating Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney’s duet off of Thriller, “The Girl Is Mine.” While the song saw Brandy and Monica playfully fight each other over a shared love interest, it sparked a rumored rivalry between them that has since been squashed. “The Boy Is Mine” remains an important song for both the careers of Brandy and Monica. In addition to being her first No. 1 hit, it was Brandy’s fifth top 10 entry and is still her biggest track to date.

Lil Nas X is easily one of the funniest people in music. So, when an occasion like Halloween comes around, an opportunity to come through with something comedic to show the world, all eyes are on him. Boy, did he deliver this year.
The rapper unveiled his costume in a video shared last night, and it starts out with a shot of a string hanging out of an opening that looks suspiciously like some female anatomy. Those suspicions are confirmed when the camera pans over to Nas, who drags the string as he walks away wearing a costume that can’t really be interpreted as anything other than a used tampon.
Meanwhile, Lil Nas X has been relatively quiet in 2023. In February, though, he offered some updates about his next album. As far as its release date, he said it would be “most likely summer,” but this summer came and went without a new Lil Nas X album. He also noted when asked how many songs he’s expecting to include on the project, “idk i love so many songs plus i’m still in the studio making music so it’s gone be hard to pick.” He elaborated, “it’s mostly planning now. i could easily just release music but i have to build moments around this sh*t. i have to go bigger than before!”
Keeping track of all the new albums coming out in a given month is a big job, but we’re up for it: Below is a comprehensive list of the major releases you can look forward to in November. If you’re not trying to potentially miss out on anything, it might be a good idea to keep reading.
