50 was in London to perform at the city’s Wireless Festival on Sunday night. The performance comes ahead of his upcoming Final Lap Tour, which will kick off in Utah on July 21. In addition to the highly-anticipated concerts, 50 also confirmed that he’s been in the studio with Dr. Dre, earlier this year, to work on a new album.

“As soon as I said that, I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some cr*zy stuff for me to go hear,” he said in an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood in January. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”

Will Smith Teases Son Jaden About Grandkids In Birthday Message

by

Jaden Smith turned 25 on July 8. Much of Smith’s life has been in the spotlight, given his famous parents. He made his film debut at eight years old, appearing alongside his father in The Pursuit of Happyness. However, much of Smith’s life also led to plenty of public ridicule. Performances in films such as After Earth and TV shows such as Neo Yokio had people dismiss him as an actor. His pseudo-philosophical vaugeposts on social media became something both mocked and analyzed on platforms such as YouTube.

In short, Smith lived the life he wanted to live. However, it, unfortunately, came at a time when it was “cool” to mock “weird” things on the internet. Smith’s teenage years coincided with the rise of anti-cringe culture on the internet. People became obsessed with concepts such as “normalcore” and simply viewed Smith as a nepo baby weirdo doing things for attention. However, Smith has since proven himself to be incredibly competent and able to find his own success. That is despite this dad making some classic dad jokes at this expense.

Will Smith Jokes About Grandkids

“Happy Birthday, J-Diggy. It’s crazy that you’re 25?!?!” he wrote. “When I was 25 I had a 2 yr. old… I’m just sayin’… Wha’s up? What you doin’ over there? BTW, this is my favorite picture of us,” Smith wrote on Instagram while sharing a black-and-white picture of the pair. However, the child that Smith is referring to in the caption is his eldest son, Trey, who was born in 1992. Trey is a DJ and actor who tends to stay away from the limelight. He is not the Trey Smith that plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Of course, it’s likely that Smith is just having a little bit of fun with his kids. For all intents and purposes, Smith appears to be a very supportive dad. He was seen vibing out this year at Coachella, where both Jaden and Willow were performing. Despite performing at Coachella, it appears that Jaden is taking a break from music for the time being. His last album, CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3, dropped in 2020 and peaked at #44 on Billboard 200. Meanwhile, his last single, “Bye”, was released in 2021 and failed to chart. As for who could give the elder Smith grandkids, Jaden was seen romancing someone last month. Smith was seen kissing influencer Paola Locatelli at a Louis Vuitton afterparty.

REAL N***A.. with PLENTY sense. Don’t take yourself lightly bruh, you a walking BLESSING. & I know anybody with the pleasure of knowing you can vouch! If they don’t f**k em! & everybody that love em! Tell you once a month you the last role model I got left! Keep dominating the [globe] I’m studying on a daily. Love for life bruh, See you soon!”

Saweetie Turns 30: Icy Girl Celebrates With A Pokemon Squirtle Cake & Golden Lingerie

by

One thing the world loves about Saweetie is her unbothered, youthful approach to life. The California native has branded herself as the official Icy Girl, leaning into the Y2K aesthetic with her own twist to create colourful outfits that look great both on and off stage. Many who aren’t familiar with Saweetie outside of her music were surprised to find out that she turned 30 years old on Sunday (June 2), but just because she’s aging doesn’t mean she plans on switching up her style.

To celebrate her big day, the Grammy-nominated lyricist donned an all-gold outfit, complete with an intricately designed top that left little of her voluptuous chest to the imagination. Saweetie added a matching thong to her bottom half, though she maintained some modesty with a wrap skirt fixed around her slim waist. Her accessories were on-point as always, from the huge hoop earrings hanging down to her shoulders to the gold glitter beautifully applied all over her body.

Other images from Saweetie’s photo dump show off her gem-toned manicure and matching rings, as well as some snapshots taken with friends. A beautiful blue rose also made its way into several images, sometimes tucked between the rap diva’s breasts. It somehow adds the perfect pop of colour to her birthday outfit, which is definitely one of her best to date.

Interestingly enough, the black-haired beauty’s new man, YG, didn’t join her – at least in front of the camera. The pair recently confirmed their long-speculated romance, though it seems they’re keeping things between them as lowkey as possible for the time being.

For her outfit of choice, Chloe opted to create major contrast between her glowing brown skin and the white mesh fabric of her two-piece set. The birthday girl’s hair is styled in beautiful butt-length goddess braids. They flow freely by her side as she poses both inside and out of the pool. Some images gave a close-up look at the gorgeous brown eyeshadow painted across Bailey’s lid, along with her perfectly lined nude pink lips. She kept jewelry to a minimum, though the cross choker on her next certainly proves how great her taste is.

The first half of 2023 was full of endless adventure for Chloe Bailey. The Atlanta-born artist shared her debut solo album, In Pieces, a few months back, which was followed by a national tour which saw her shining her light brighter than ever. Shortly after returning from the road, Chloe sat down with Jason Lee to discuss everything from her own music to her rumoured relationship with Gunna.

Beyonce Gets Crowd To Wish Solange A Happy Birthday In Frankfurt

by

Beyoncé is coming to the end of the European leg of the Renaissance Tour. Beginning on May 10 in Stockholm, Beyoncé has held 19 concerts across 13 cities in 9 countries. The North American leg of the tour begins in Toronto on July 8.

The June 24 concert in Frankfurt, Germany marked the third-from-last stop of the European leg. It also happened to coincide with the 37th birthday of Beyoncé’s younger sister, Solange.

In front of a packed crowd at Deutsche Bank Park, Beyoncé shouted out her sister before getting the concert-goers to wish her a happy birthday. Meanwhile, the Beyhive dug up some adorable throwback footage of Solange.

Solange Dances With Blue Ivy In Adorable Throwback Footage

As mentioned, the Beyhive had a present on its own. Spread on social media by Beyoncé’s dedicated fanbase, the somewhat grainy footage appears to show Solange dancing with her niece, Blue Ivy.

However, some fans believe the footage actually shows Solange dancing with her younger niece, Rumi. While it has not blossomed into an all-out fandom war, the debate has been fairly spirited.

Regardless of who is dancing with Solange, it’s an adorable video. Furthermore, it just goes to show the bond that is held by the various members of the Knowles family. But do you think it’s Blue or Rumi? Let us know in the comments.

Elsewhere, one of Beyoncé’s long-time dancers prevented disaster during the June 21 concert in Hamburg. As Beyoncé performed “BREAK MY SOUL”, one of the straps of her dress began to slip. This could have potentially led to an internet-breaking nip slip in the historic German city.

However, disaster was averted as one of the Les Twins danced in front of Beyoncé as she fixed her wardrobe. In fact, the process was so seamless that many people didn’t even clock it as anything more than part of the choreography.

This has led to widespread praise of the dancer, for both his quick thinking and professionalism. However, it’s not the only technical difficulty the tour has faced. In London, a mid-song costume change nearly cost Beyoncé her headset. Meanwhile, she was visibly unimpressed with members of the crew while in Amsterdam.

The Twins Turn Two

Earlier this month, it was reported that although Cannon aspires to start a family band, Mariah Carey won’t let the twins she shares with him take part. A source told Radar Online the news last week. “Nick was sure his kids could make millions as a band, but Mariah poured cold water on his dream,” the source told the outlet. They also went on to say, “She’s opposed to her children sharing the spotlight with Nick’s nine other kids from five different women.” 

Cannon also recently tore into 50 Cent on his podcast, following comments made by Vivica A. Fox about possibly reuniting with her ex. “You can fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat n***a that’s walking around now,” he joked on the podcast. Mason Moussette, Cannon’s co-host, revealed that she would take an opportunity to date 50 Cent regardless of his weight. “He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs in the back of his neck,” Cannon responded, “You lookin’ at them pictures from Get Rich or Die Tryin’, now it’s get thick or die fryin’!” 50 Cent later appeared to share an ominous response to the comments. “If your marketing campaign is say something about 50. [You’re] not going to make it,” he wrote, “have a nice day.”
