Dwyane Wade Divides Thirsty Fans And Dismissive Haters Over New Cover Shoot

by

Dwyane Wade is far more of a divisive pop culture figure than he should be, but he’s still got plenty of supporters looking past the bigoted backlash to his LGBTQIA2+ allyship. If you need proof of that, look no further than the reception to his latest CR Men Fashion Book photoshoot for its cover. Some fans are lusting over the basketball superstar in the comments section, whereas others are making fun of his style and of his previous life choices. There’s a lot of discrimination to unpack, a lot of thirsty comments, and also plenty of debate within the comments section.

Furthermore, Boose Badazz most recently offered his conflicted thoughts on Dwyane Wade, specifically about his nail care brand. “I don’t even got to say nothing,” he said of sexuality rumors that the brand caused. “The world is going to say it. […] I don’t know. I mean… He part of the movement. I mean, I don’t like to say too much about those people because I don’t want that to be in my motherf***ing… When people think of me, they think of that. A lot of people do, but… I just, you know, he do what he do. He feel like that’s how he support his… It make me shake my head. Because, you know, I don’t like that, bro. When… I don’t know. He might be living through… I don’t know, I don’t know.”

Dwyane Wade’s Newest Cover Shoot

Elsewhere, Shaq recently revealed how an argument with Dwyane Wade resulted in an NBA championship. “D-Wade, our first argument was in the Finals,” he told Draymond Green on the Warrior’s podcast. “We go down 0-2. I’m declining as Shaq. I’m going through a divorce. I’m not Shaq. My first three guys are terrible, awful. So I pulled D-Wade in the room and said, ‘What the f**k you gonna do man?’

“‘Motherf***er, you want to be the man, what the f**k you gonna do?’” Shaq recalled. “I wasn’t trying to fight; I was just asking questions. He had a look of relief like, ‘Oh, I can?’ So yeah, motherf***er, I got four people on me.’ And he said, ‘Okay, Shaq.’ And he went off.” As you can see, Dwyane Wade turns any form of pressure into diamonds.

Teyana Taylor Shares Pics Of Her Stunning Black Outfit From Magazine Cover Shoot

by

Teyana Taylor looking stunning isn’t news to anybody, but she may have reached a new peak with a recent cover shoot. Just earlier this week she was stunning fans with her abs in an impressive bikini look. That came after she cleared up rumors about a flirty moment during the Oscars that left fans theorizing about a potential relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio. Taylor shifted her focus back to stunning looks and it didn’t take long for an all-time great one to emerge.

She teamed up with Cultured Magazine for a full cover story that included a stunning photo shoot. In pics she shared to Instagram she’s sporting an entirely black series of fits. Included in the mix is leather jackets, black dresses and some occasionally visible black underwear. In the comments of the post fans are going absolutely crazy for the looks. Many point out the inspiration she took from the style of legendary singer and actress Grace Jones. “Said GRACE before she ATE” one of the top comments on the post reads. “SLAYYYYYYYY!!! The ode to Grace Jones is a SERVEEEEEE” and “Per usual she’s filled with GRACE” two other comments agree. Check out the full collection of pictures she shared below.

Teyana’s interaction with Leo was hardly the only news she made at a pre-Oscars party. She was in attendance for a star-studded event alongside Usher, Justin Timberlake, John Legend, and many more. For the party she was also sporting an all black fit looking sleek in photos throughout the night. She’s actually currently shooting a film with Leonardo DiCaprio so it may not be the last tie we see the versatile singer at the Oscars. It’s been four years since she released her last musical project, a studio album fitting called The Album.

Rihanna’s “Interview Magazine” Cover Reminds Us She’s A Good Girl Gone Bad

by

RiRi’s back. The mother of two has her hands full at home with little RZA and Riot, leaving her with much less time to hit the studio or grab dinner with her gal pals. Nevertheless, the blonde beauty has still been spending time outside, donning consistently fabulous outfits no matter if she’s with her family or rolling solo. We’ve seen some sultry Savage x Fenty snapshots on her Instagram lately, and today (April 9), Rihanna took us back in time to her Good Girl Gone Bad era with photos from her Spring 2024 Interview Magazine cover shoot.

On Tuesday morning, the 36-year-old’s social media lit up with images and videos lensed by Nadia Lee Cohen. For the main snap, Rih channelled her inner nun with a black and white headdress, though she still showed some skin in an oversized white top. Mel Ottenberg was on deck for styling, as well as asking fans’ burning questions to the “Rude Boy” hitmaker. When asked what her favourite part about Los Angeles is, she answered, “My gynecologist, truthfully,” and also dished about wanting to undergo a breast lift after having her babies.

As she often does, Rihanna and her creative team played around with gender expression in this shoot. Some pictures see her smoking a blunt in a white button-up shirt and black leather tie – something her man ASAP Rocky would look equally as dapper in. Another photoset shows the multi-talent looking like a roughed-up housewife. “Literally how I feel in postpartum with two under two,” RiRi wrote in her caption, earning praise for being so vulnerable.

Kourtney Kardashian Models Black Lingerie & Her Baby Bump For “Vanity Fair Italia” Cover

by

Being the eldest daughter isn’t easy under normal circumstances. For Kourtney Kardashian, things became particularly difficult once her family was catapulted into fame thanks to her younger sister’s sex tape. The Poosh founder is something of the black sheep of the clan. This is mostly due to her desire to venture off into her own lane and start a family with Travis Barker. Of course, she and Scott Disick already share three children, but at this time, she’s embarking on the final months of her fourth pregnancy.

To commemorate the beautiful occasion, Kardashian accepted the opportunity to pose on the cover of Vanity Fair Italia. As we’ve seen throughout many of her maternity outfits so far, the 44-year-old has no problem showing skin, as she did in her photoshoot. In the image selected to appear on the front of the magazine’s upcoming edition, the reality starlet models simple black lingerie, letting her budding baby bump make a statement instead of her clothing.

Kourtney Kardashian is Looking Forward to the Future

“After two years of trying, she became pregnant naturally at 44 years old,” an excerpt from Kardashian’s accompanying interview shared on IG reads. “To those who criticize pregnancy at her age, [she] replies, ‘Those comments don’t affect me. I just say: how could you question God’s plan? Because that’s how I see this pregnancy, which came when both Travis and I weren’t even thinking about it anymore and a year after we stopped IVF.’”

Outside of all the buzz that’s been surrounding her fourth pregnancy, Kourtney Kardashian has also been in the headlines frequently due to the latest season of her sister’s reality show. Currently, tensions on the small screen are rising between her and Kim, whom the eldest sibling labelled a “witch” during a recent episode. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.

Lil Kim Had Creative Control Over Retouching Ebony Cover Shoot

by

Earlier this week, Ebony Magazine celebrated the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Their celebration included interviews with rappers like 50 Cent, Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, and Lil Kim. They shared the results of Kim’s cover shoot to Instagram with a caption explaining their reasoning for choosing her. “When it comes to this Hip Hop Game, you don’t wanna bumble with the bee, and for almost three decades, Lil Kim has continued to show us why. From her days with Junior Mafia to now, she has always come correct with bars slicker than honey with an impeccable charisma that is impossible to duplicate.”

But despite their high praise for the rapper fans in the comments were mostly focused on one thing. Her face in the cover image had all the trademarks of over-editing and many pointed out how amateurish it looked. In the comments, one of the photographers shared how the picture ended up the way it did. “Man, she wanted to be in creative control of the retouching so this is what we got.” Check out the post below.

Lil Kim Retouched Ebony Cover Herself

Unsurprisingly, fans in the comments cracked jokes. “So Kim edited this on her phone and sent it back?” one comment joked. “She look like a IMVU character” and “She edited this on what? Like a flip phone? A sidekick? Wtf happened here?” other comments agreed. While nobody has officially confirmed how exactly the photo ended up the way it did that didn’t stop fans from speculating.

Last month, Lil Kim took part in another Hip Hop 50th Anniversary celebration and it also didn’t go over perfectly. She suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a performance and Yankee Stadium alongside dozens of rap legends. Thankfully, she didn’t seem phased at all by the incident and continued crushing her performance. What do you think of Lil Kim demanding creative control over her Ebony cover shoot? Let us know in the comment section below.

Lil Kim Lands “Ebony” Cover, Fans Hardly Recognize Rap Legend

by

Though she’s one of the most well-known figures in hip-hop, Lil Kim’s life has been anything but easy. The New Yorker has maintained her confidence despite all the trauma she’s endured from her past relationships, not to mention simply being a woman in the industry. Like many other celebrities, she’s obviously undergone some cosmetic procedures over the years, altering her facial structure significantly. Not everyone is a fan of the work Kim has done, but nevertheless, her biggest fans remain loyal. Their dedication to the 49-year-old is precisely why so many are raising concerns regarding her latest magazine cover.

On Friday (September 8), images began circulating online unveiling the “Magic Stick” artist’s shoot for Ebony Magazine. From far away, Kim looks radiant in a revealing pin, satin garment. However, upon closer inspection, it’s evident that her face has undergone severe editing – and not very good editing at that. The multi-talent looks far more masculine in this photo than we’ve seen in any others she’s shared recently. She also looks to be a completely different ethnicity, causing countless Twitter trolls to crack jokes.

“The entire staff deserves JAIL,” one user criticized the team at Ebony. “IKYFL. This is egregious. Why is Kim looking like she’s been generated by AI,” another concerned person chimed in. To be fair, the fashionista does look almost completely artificial on the “50 Years of Hip-Hop” commemorative cover, though it’s unclear if that’s what she was going for.

As for the interview, Chloe mostly discussed her latest album, In Pieces. She dropped the project back in March featuring collaborations with Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, and Future. Chloe says that it feels “amazing” to have finally released her debut album.

“It feels amazing knowing my album is finally released and out there for the world. I’m truly proud of myself for my bravery and vulnerability and how honest I was through these lyrics,” she explained. “This music really helped save me. And this is what I was creating to pull me out of what I was going through as this is therapy for me. I’m really proud of myself because I was strong enough to let people into my deepest thoughts.”

Chloe Bailey For “Galore Magazine”

Chloe’s interview with Galore comes after she recently attended the premiere of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. For the event, organizers swapped out a traditional red carpet for blue to match the setting of the movie. “I get chills,” Chloe Bailey told ET regarding her sister Halle’s performance. “To know that all of those beautiful girls will be able to see proper representation, whether you’re black or white or anything like that, you’ll be able to look at my sister and say ‘I can be anything I want to be no matter what the world tells me is acceptable. There could not be a more perfect Ariel.”

Winnie Harlow Poses Nude For “Women’s Health” Cover Shoot: Photos

by

Last month, Winnie Harlow made headlines as the face of Drake’s OVO campaign. In April, the Canadian starlet continues to expand her undeniably impressive modelling resume, this time stripping down for the cover of Women’s Health. For the magazine’s May issue, she not only posed nude for the cover and various other photos, but Harlow also got candid about the rejection she’s faced within the industry as a result of her skin condition. Because of her unique look, the socialite has made it something of a personal mission for herself to “change the definition of beauty.”

“I got a lot of no’s along the way, but I just pushed through,” the 28-year-old told the outlet while reflecting on how vitiligo has impacted her career. “My younger self always believed in the power of faith, strength, and perseverance, while learning vulnerability and being authentically myself,” Harlow added. “To achieve my goals with the world watching has been scary at times, but all in all, the ultimate blessing.” As DailyMail notes, she first caught the public’s eye in 2014 while competing on the 21st cycle of America’s Next Top Model.

Winnie Harlow Bares It All for Women’s Health

Harlow’s cover is a simple one, keeping the focus mostly on her long, flowing hair, beautiful face, and the patches of different colours all over her toned body. She celebrated the special moment on Instagram today (April 25), sharing photos and videos from the magazine itself, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes content from her photo shoot. “Back in my childhood when I would wish upon a star to not look the way I did because of the ridicule I received, I would’ve never dreamt of not only being so confident in who I am but also encouraging others to do the same,” Winnie reflected in her post.

Elsewhere in her chat with the magazine, she spoke about crafting her moniker (her real name is Chantelle Whitney Brown-Young), as well as her ability to inspire others with the confidence she’s grown into. Check out more content from Winnie Harlow’s Women’s Health photoshoot below. For more pop culture news updates, make sure to tap back in with HNHH later.

Ice Spice Covers “Dazed,” Reveals Her Favourite New York Drill Artists

by

Ice Spice’s career is only just beginning, but already it feels as though the New York native is one of the most coveted artists in the industry. She showed out during Rolling Loud California earlier this month, attracting one of the festival’s biggest crowds for her short, sweet, and spicy set. Elsewhere in the news, she’s also caught Nicki Minaj’s eye, earning both a follow and a co-sign from the Queen of Rap herself this past weekend.

Following that comes another impressive feat for the 23-year-old – a Dazed magazine cover. Spice unveiled the big news on Monday (March 13) via Instagram, showing off her salacious photos that see her famous figure on full display from various angles. The issue is titled “The People’s Princess,” and in her accompanying interview, the lyricist reminded us exactly why she’s as legendary as the late Princess Diana.

In Her Hood, She’s Like Princess Diana

During her chat with the outlet, Spice chiefly spoke about her experience coming up out of the Bronx, where drill music was born. Speaking on some of her favourite artists from the area, she shared, “I love Pop Smoke. He’s goated. I was definitely bumping him every day. That was even before I started making music seriously, in the studio. I was already rapping on some fun shit. But before I started recording, I was bumping him a lot. Sheff G too, of course. Sleepy Hallow. Bizzy Banks. It was a lot of people in the drill scene.”

“When I started hearing about DThang and Kay Flock, and the Bronx started getting more attention and started having more artists come out, I was already recording by then,” the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker recalled. “By the time the Bronx started popping up, I was already in the booth, plotting. But hearing them was definitely more of a motivation too. Just knowing that now we have a spotlight in the Bronx. I feel like when there’s an artist buzzing out the Bronx, that gives other people a chance to shine too.”

What’s Next for Ice Spice?

She already has all eyes on her, but that doesn’t mean Ice Spice plans to slow down anytime soon. While speaking with Dazed she shared that her upcoming plans involve performing at festivals and finalizing her debut album, following January’s Like..? EP. “I’m excited to do more collaborations with different artists from different genres,” she added, also noting her eagerness to “see the world and travel more.” Read the Bronx Baddie’s full interview here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
