Usher Speaks On “Crazy”  Experience Living With Diddy At 13 In Resurfaced Clip

by

Usher recalled the “wild” experience of living with Diddy at 13 years old for the Bad Boy mogul’s Puffy Flavor Camp during an interview with Howard Stern back in 2016. The interview is resurfacing amid rumors that Diddy was engaged in a sexual relationship with the singer. The allegations stem from Rodney Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of sexual assault. The filing mentions Diddy bragging about a sexual relationship with a singer who performed at the Super Bowl and who hosted a successful Las Vegas residency.

“I got a chance to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it,” Usher said. “It was pretty wild. It was crazy.” He added that he felt like a little brother at the time. “They called me Baby Boo,” he recalled. Further speaking on their relationship, he added: “He wasn’t disciplinary. He was letting me be a young man.” Usher went on to describe him as family. “He was always a family member from afar, so I never felt a disconnection,” he said. “I will always look at him like a brother.” As for whether he would send his kids to Puffy Flavor Camp, however, Usher clarified: “Hell no!”

Ashanti’s Alleged Secret Pregnancy Sparks Halle Bailey Comparisons

by

Ashanti has had fans speculating that she’s expecting for some time now, and the rumors don’t show any signs of slowing down. While this has yet to be confirmed by her or Nelly, who she rekindled her romance with last year, they’ve previously gotten close to letting the alleged cat out of the bag. Late last year, they were onstage during a performance when Ashanti put her hand over her stomach, and Nelly followed suit. The two of them then broke out into laughter, seemingly indicating they knew something the public didn’t.

Since then, supporters have been dissecting Ashanti’s every move, searching for signs she’s pregnant. Recently, the songstress graced the stage in yet another loosely-fitting look, causing commenters to suspect she’s hiding a growing bump. While some are showing support for Ashanti’s decision to keep her alleged little one a secret, others are growing frustrated, and even comparing her to Halle Bailey.

The Little Mermaid star similarly had pregnancy rumors running rampant last year, which she and her boyfriend DDG denied. They later came forward to announce their baby boy Halo’s arrival, however, resulting in mixed reactions from followers. “So she just gonna act like she not pregnant like Halle?” one commenter asks under The Neighborhood Talk‘s clip from Ashanti’s show.

While Ashanti has opted to keep her signature snatched frame under wraps these days, she certainly hasn’t kept her talent hidden. In the clip, she’s seen going in on “The Woman You Love,” effortlessly belting out high notes. Clearly, pregnant or not, Ashanti never fails to put on a great show. What do you think of Ashanti’s vocals during her recent performance? What about rumors that she and Nelly are expecting? Is she giving Halle Bailey?

Christian Wood Granted Restraining Order Against Mother Of His Child

by

Lakers backup Christian Wood has been granted a temporary restraining order again Yasmine Lopez, the mother of his son. Wood claims that Lopez has consistently harassed him since they broke up in December 2022. The incident that seemingly sealed the restraining order was Lopez and friends allegedly breaking into Wood’s property and vandalizing his car. Wood claimed that he believes Lopez, who must stay 100 feet away from him, has been using his public work schedule to track and harass him.

Furthermore, Wood made reference to Baddies East star Tee Kissen. After Kissen accused Wood of threatening to assault her, Wood has claimed that Kissen lied to “gain favor in the media”. Kissen was caring for Wood’s son after Lopez was arrested. However, Kissen claimed that Lopez was simply having a night out. Wood’s restraining order expires on March 20.

However, fans are still trying to wade through the back-and-forth allegations between Kissen and Wood that emerged last week. Wood’s sister hit back at the allegations that Wood threatened to beat Baddies East star Tee Kissen with a shovel while attempting to get his child from Kissen’s residence. According to her, Wood was attempting to collect his child. He was doing so as the child’s mother, Kissen’s friend, had been arrested for vandalism. Wood’s sister claimed that his intention was to avoid the child getting caught up in any sort of CPS dispute.

However, Kissen immediately called cap on the claim in the comments of The Neighborhood Talk post reporting on Wood’s sister’s response. “No b-tch. I walked out my front door and went to Yasmine’s house with the baby so that when she got out of jail she could come straight home to her son. Because your brother threatened to take the baby from her and to never gave him back. When the police was at my house i wasn’t there. But when they contacted me i showed them on FaceTime that the baby was safe with Yasmine the primary parent. While he went up stairs to do god knows what i left out Yasmine’s house to get in the car. You harassed me on the sidewalk saying you know where i live and you wanted to beat me up. I got your threats on camera too babe 😘,” Kissen said.

With only two studio albums under her belt, SZA has quickly become a legend within R&B music. As the public patiently awaits her Lana project, SOS continues to dominate the charts in record-breaking fashion. But to the “Saturn” singer, chart placement, touring numbers, and multiple Grammy Awards are nothing compared to her latest accomplishment.

Yesterday (March 1), she took to X (formerly Twitter) to tease her forthcoming appearance on Sesame Street, fulfilling one of her lifetime wishes. The photo featured several residents of the beloved block. “God’s timing,” she wrote. “Follow your dreams and say them out loud. Never give up. Anything is possible. I believe in you. 🫶🏾🥹💛”

To add to the already adorable moment, SZA snagged a selfie video with everyone’s favorite monster, Elmo, during her giddy trip. In the clip, the two gush about the great day they had with one another.

Following the news, fans chimed in online, letting SZA know they are ready to unlock their inner child when the episode airs.

“SZA on ‘Sesame Street’ is bound to bring some joy and excitement,” wrote one user.

“Looks like SZA’s bringing some serious street cred to Sesame Street! Can’t wait to see who she’s jamming with on the block, 🎶🪆” added another.

“This is such a wholesome photo,” penned another.

It is unclear when the episode will air, but as it approaches, SZA or Sesame Street is sure to make a formal announcement.

GloRilla Tells People To “Calm Down” About Viral Wardrobe Malfunction

by

GloRilla has addressed the now-viral nip slip that occurred during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. “It ain’t sh-t but a nip slip. Please calm down,” Glo said in a series of videos posted to social media. As mentioned, the incident occurred earlier this week when Glo was appearing on the popular radio show hosted by Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious. Glo was quickly informed and able to adjust, but the damage was done, so to speak.

Footage of the incident quickly spread online. However, some fans believed that it was not an accident at all. Several commenters alleged that Glo had purposed done it to boost her profile in light of what they see as a “failed music career” for the Memphis rapper. However, it’s clear that Glo is over it and wants everyone else to be over it sooner rather than later as well.

GloRilla Gives Dating Advice But Fans Aren’t Feeling It

However, Glo is no stranger to online judgment. In January, Glo took to social media to give some dating advice about dating multiple men at once. “Ladies, don’t show favoritism among your n-ggas. Because as soon as your favorite n-gga mad, he gon be cursing your other n-ggas out just for a motherf-cker saying good morning! Don’t show favoritism with y’all n-ggas. That favorite n-gga sh-t a motherf-cker,” Glo said while out shopping. Glo has been previously open about her dating habits and how she doesn’t tend to stick to a single person.

However, it is advice that has not gone over well. “The ladies are doomed if they need her advice on something 😂,” one person joked. “Or just not mess around with multiple people,” countered another. “We finna see her POSTING & SAYING dumb SH*T bc she wanna show off THAT CHEST 🤣,” theorized a third. Glo’s newly-enhanced chest was on full display as the rapped rocked a lowcut halter top. How do you feel about Glo’s advice? Let us know in the comments.

ScHoolboy Q Gets First Week Sales Projections For New Album “BLUE LIPS”

by

ScHoolboy Q may have just crafted a gem of the 2020s with his new album BLUE LIPS, his first in five years. Moreover, fans have been very receptive to the comeback, singing the tracklist’s praises and breaking down all the intricacies within. Although this is still a very big release, it also feels like it really cements the TDE MC’s legend status rather than forge a new claim to the throne. Despite that, it seems like he will still make a big commercial impact and set up many more great albums to come. Furthermore, the first week sales projections for the LP are here via a HITSDailyDouble report.

According to this report, BLUE LIPS is expected to push between 30K and 35K album-equivalent units in its first week, based on day one streams and sales. While this might not seem like all that impressive compared to other big releases, it’s great to see that ScHoolboy Q can make a significant splash after so long out of the game. Of course, the cultural, critical, and fanbase impact was going to be there regardless, and it’s much more important than what any numbers suggest. Overall, the “Foux” spitter should be very proud of what he offered here, and of the success it’s bound to have.

Not only that, but projections indicate BLUE LIPS will be the highest-charting album to debut this week on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It will be interesting to see if ScHoolboy Q can top other charting 2024 releases as of late in the rap world, namely Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1 and Yeat’s 2093. As for this week, it seems like Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time will nab another non-consecutive week as the highest-charting album in the U.S. You probably still haven’t forgotten the absolutely dominant run that this country record went on in 2023, and it looks like it won’t slow down just yet.

Meanwhile, if you’re curious, you can check out fans’ reactions to BLUE LIPS and see if you agree. What did you think of this new album, and how do you feel about these first week sales projections?

by

Welcome to March, whose quality as a hip-hop release month for 2024 is proven by our new Fire Emoji playlist update. We decided to round up the best of the best rap drops of the week, and leading the way is none other than ScHoolboy Q. The TDE MC released his first album in about five years, BLUE LIPS, and it’s got no shortage of tender, aggressive, and consistently compelling tracks. “oHio” featuring Freddie Gibbs, “THank god 4 me,” and “Pop” featuring Rico Nasty are all particularly hype and energetic cuts for you to check out. It stands as the best album to come out this week, and one of the year’s best so far.

Also on Fire Emoji is another comeback: the solo return of Cardi B with her new track, “Like What (Freestyle).” It’s a fiery set of bars over a classic Missy Elliot and Timbaland beat; what’s not to love ahead of the Bronx rapper’s next album? Speaking of new albums, though, we have to shout out That Mexican OT, who just released his latest full-length Texas Technician. The Moneybagg Yo-assisted “Twisting Fingers” is a Southern banger through and through, showing off a lot of chemistry and versatile flows.

Furthermore, we also wanted to point you to Meek Mill’s new EP HEATHENISM, on which “Giving Chanel” with Future is a particular standout. Thanks to a dramatic instrumental and relentless deliveries, it’s a pretty hard-hitting record with a grand feel. Another trunk-knocking release on Fire Emoji is Luh Tyler’s new single “Bad B***h“… what could it ever be about? Jokes aside, it’s a bass-heavy and fast-paced track with Tyler’s trademark nasal croons.

Meanwhile, as far as triumphant and evocative trap cuts, few ranked higher than 21 Lil Harold and BigXthaPlug’s “Gin & Juice.” Finally, we wanted to highlight Ransom, Harry Fraud, and Boldy James’ excellently lavish and lyrically evocative single, “Live from the Roxy.” Let us know what you favorite Fire Emoji release was this week -– and what else we missed, too.
