Rick Ross Compared To This Rapper After Revealing New Album Is On The Way

by

Over the past several months, Rick Ross has been quite active in dropping new tracks. Of course, the catalyst of this trend is his collaborative record with his MMG (Maybach Music Group) signee, Meek Mill. Too Good To Be True, is full of luxurious bangers. However, the album is not a watermark in Ross’s discography. That is apparent, especially when you look at the lackluster first-week sales numbers.

However, the fact that he is still willing to drop more music regularly is a privilege. Ross continues to prove that he can drop good verses on other artists’ tracks. Go listen to the new 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE and Rich Brian cut “LiGhT rAiLs.” Hopefully, we get more of those performances on the upcoming record he has just announced. In a recent video, Ross says that Champagne Moments is the name of the LP and is in the works.

That is about all we know on that front for now. In addition, Rozay also shared that he is working on funding and directing a movie, according to HipHopNMore. While these are both exciting developments, fans are saying he is doing his best to copy 50 Cent’s blueprint. The Hip-Hop Wolf‘s IG account has numerous comments that say things like, “He doesn’t want to admit it but dude stays copying 50😂” Or, “He thinks he’s 50😂🤡” Of course, Ross and 50 have been going at each other for quite some time. However, the saying goes, “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.”

What are your thoughts on Rick Ross revealing a new album and an upcoming movie? Will Champagne Moments be one of his better projects as of late? Do you think a single will drop in the next week or two? Are fans accurate with the 50 Cent comparison? Would you see a film directed by Rick Ross? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

David Letterman Is Extremely Pro-Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce, And Wants Weird Haters To ‘Shut Up’

Republicans have long had trouble courting the youth vote, but lately they’ve decided to torch their chances for good. Today’s rightwing have declared Taylor Swift, arguably the most popular pop star on the planet right now, Enemy Number One. They hate that she’s a Biden supporter, and they especially hate that her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is Super Bowl-bound. Some have even hatched tinfoil hat conspiracy theories about her. But at least Taylor and Travis have one supporter who really matters: Daivd Letterman.

“We live in a world now where all we hear is nonsense and ugliness,” the former late night king said in a post on Instagram, per Variety. “Now here’s Taylor Swift, who is a glowing bright light of goodness in the world and she starts dating Kelsey Grammer.”

Producer Barbara Gaines quickly corrected him, though Letterman stood his ground and kept saying the name of the Trump-voting Frasier star.

Letterman then described how these two very different worlds — the world of football and the world of pop star — have felt like strange bedfellows, sometimes even attack each other, wishing Swift and Kelce weren’t an item. Well, Letterman’s had enough of all that.

“This is such a lovely thing. Shut up!” he charged. “It’s good for the footballers. It’s good for Taylor Swift. And it’s something positive and happy for the world, in a world that generally, typically just sucks gas.”

Letterman concluded, “God bless, Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammer.”

Hear, hear. And you know what, God bless Kelsey Grammer, too, no matter who he votes for, because Frasier Crane is god, even on his so-so revival.

‘It Is So Scary!’: Fox News Appears To Be Extremely Terrified Of Taylor Swift Getting Swifties To Vote For Biden

Have you heard the one about how Taylor Swift and the Deep State are teaming up to rig the Super Bowl so Joe Biden wins re-election? It’s a real conspiracy theory, touted by arguably the most annoying former GOP presidential candidate. But one thing could actually happen: Swift could inspire legions of Swifties to vote Democrat in November. That might not be enough to trigger a landslide, but it still chills one Fox News contributor to their core.

On Monday Fox News host Martha MacCallum brought on Outkick host Charly Arnolt, who last year got in a tizzy over Disney casting a non-white actress to play Snow White — you know, despite her name. This time Arnolt was, as many on the right weirdly are right now, up in arms over Time’s 2023 Person of the Year, especially since her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is going to the Super Bowl.

Noting grimly that Swift endorsed Biden in 2020, Arnolt said she’s so worried about her boyfriend going to the Super Bowl that she was rooting for the Baltimore Ravens to beat the Chiefs, “just because we have had enough of Taylor Swift for now.”

Alas, the Ravens lost and Swift’s boyfriend is going to the Super Bowl. But all is not lost. Arnolt noted that there’s an online poll “begging people to become 9ers fans for the next two weeks, just so it doesn’t raise Travis Kelcie aka Mr. Phizer’s star power along with, of course, Taylor Swift.”

Nevermind that it’s probably not possible for Swift to become any more famous than she is already. But that’s what so freezes Arnolt’s blood.

“It is so scary! There’s a recent poll: 1/5th of Taylor Swift fans said they would back whatever candidate she endorsed,” Arnolt warned viewers. She allowed that a good chunk of her fanbase are “15-year-old girls who can’t vote anyways” and that “a lot of the others are liberal women who would support the DNC no matter what.

“But,” Arnolt prophesized, “there’s a lot of other people who need to be careful, because she doesn’t do what she says. For example, the other day, yesterday, she flew private from New York City to Baltimore. Yet she constantly talks about climate change.”

Arnolt asked anyone watching her to “please don’t believe everything Taylor Swift says. We’re all begging you.”

And so continues the right’s bizarre war on someone whose fanbase is not only gargantuan but militant against anyone who dares besmirch her, be they Golden Globes hosts or, possibly, Fox News regulars. Besides, what better way to lock down the youth vote than to the most popular celebrity under 35.

Snoop Dogg Hopped In An ‘Oppenheimer’ Cast Photo For Some Reason, A Reason He Has Now Explained

by

Snoop Dogg explained how his viral photo with the cast of Oppenheimer happened, during his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. For those who haven’t seen it, the rapper went to an event and happened to pop up in the background.

Considering it was all the film’s actors except for Matt Damon, Snoop’s photo bomb was a hilarious addition. It’s such a random pop-up that it very well could have been Photoshopped. But no, it’s real.

“How did this happen?” Kimmel asked him. “Were you in Oppenheimer and I didn’t notice?”

“No, I wasn’t in the movie,” Snoop answered. “I happened to be at that party that night… I’m a fan of the majority of the cast on there, the director, the actors, and they asked me to be in the picture. They were like, ‘We can’t take a picture unless Snoop Dogg is in it.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’”

Snoop went on to share how he felt about the Christopher Nolan flick, which became a summer blockbuster during the Barbenheimer craze. (For the record, he also went to see Barbie in theaters.)

“I loved it,” he said of Oppenheimer. “It was a long movie, but I loved it.” Snoop received screeners to view it at home but pointed out that when it comes to movies, he “can’t watch it in pieces,” and opted to run through the 3-plus-hour movie in full.

“I gotta watch it all,” he added. “I wanna respect the director, the actors, the whole storyline, and let it get to where it need to get to.”

Check out Snoop giving the backstory behind him joining the Oppenheimer cast photo above.

Is The 21 Savage ‘American Dream’ Movie Real?

by

Earlier this month, before 21 Savage released his new album American Dream, he hyped up the project with a trailer for a movie. It was called American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, starring Donald Glover and Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin portraying the rapper at different points in his life.

However, 21 has a bit of a history with trickery, like when he and Drake did a mock Vogue cover to promote their album Her Loss. So, what’s the deal with the American Dream movie?

Is The 21 Savage ‘American Dream’ Movie Real?

It’s not, no.

Savage made the reveal in an interview with Shannon Sharpe on a new episode of Club Shay Shay (as Complex notes). Sharpe asked if the movie was coming out soon, and Savage let the cat out of the bag, answering, “Nah, that was a parody.”

Sharpe was insistent that Savage’s life story actually could make for an interesting movie, though, to which the rapper replied, “I feel like it could be one day. They would hate on it now, though. Because they gon’ be like, ‘What the f*ck 21 Savage deserve a story for, a movie about him for? What he did?’ You know how they do.”

So, American Dream: The 21 Savage Story isn’t real, but we’ll always have the trailer, which you can revisit above. Also check out the full interview with Sharpe below.

Rihanna Excitedly Declared Natalie Portman ‘One Of The Hottest B*tches In Hollywood’ And Everybody Agreed

One could only imagine that meeting other notable folks wouldn’t be such a significant moment after you’ve achieved a certain level of fame. Well, that isn’t true for “Lift Me Up” singer Rihanna. As a global music superstar, Rihanna has rubbed shoulders with the who’s-who of the world, from other musicians to high-ranking political officials. But when Rihanna ran into Thor: Love And Thunder actress Natalie Portman, she couldn’t maintain her cool.

On January 22, the two had an adorable exchange while attending the Dior Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week 2024. In a clip captured by onlookers, Rihanna, the self-proclaimed bad gyal, dubbed Portman with a similar title. “I am a f*cking fan,” she said. “You’re one of the hottest b*tches in Hollywood forever. You do the most innocent look, and I’m like, ‘Ahhhh!’”

Stunned that Rihanna was starstruck, Portman couldn’t do anything but smile as she gathered her thoughts. Eventually, she worked up the confidence to say: “I’m going to blackout. I love you, and I listen to your music all the time.”

Unlocking her true inner fangirl, Rihanna asked Portman if they could grab a pic to savor the moment. “Can somebody take a picture,” she said. “So I, like, remember this happened tomorrow?”

Users online unanimously agreed with Portman’s coronation into the baddies society.

“Two queens coming together for a joint slay,” wrote one user.

“Natalie Portman is really gorgeous,” penned another.

“Here for this content,” chimed in another, moved by the interaction.

Lil Nas X Looks Back On The Triumphs And Challenges Of His Rise To Fame In A New ‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’ Trailer

by

Last year, Lil Nas X made a splash at the Toronto International Film Festival with the premiere of a new documentary movie, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero. Soon, the film will be made available more widely, as its set to debut on HBO January 27 at 8 p.m. ET and start streaming via Max at the same time.

Today, a new two-minute trailer was shared, and it serves as an overarching summary of his journey so far, from early life to “Old Town Road,” from his sexuality to his fans and his haters.

A press release for the movie notes:

“The film […] follows Lil Nas X as he embarks on his first ever global tour. The diaristic film is a remarkably intimate portrait of an artist on tour navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance, all while reflecting on his place within the legacy of Black, queer performers. Directed by Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero captures one of today’s most provocative pop stars at a transformational point in his life, both on and off stage. Shot over the course of 60 days with unparalleled access, the film follows Montero Hill, aka Lil Nas X, on an emotional odyssey through the creation and performance of the critically acclaimed Long Live Montero show.”

Check out the trailer above.

Renee Rapp’s ‘Mean Girls’ Press Tour Has Been A Master Class Of Chaos

by

Once every few years, a spunky young actress makes waves on the scene with soul-crushing sarcasm and a touch of wit, and everyone loves it before they begin to slowly turn on her until she retreats from the spotlight. It’s like an ongoing prophecy at this point! So it’s always a little scary when a new and cool actress arrives on the scene, because how long will it take for everyone to turn against her? This is the fun of Hollywood!

Recently, Mean Girl Renee Rapp has been paving her way in the industry, not only with her debut album but also as the vicious Regina George in the movie musical Mean Girls. Rapp also portrayed George in the Broadway run in 2019. During her press cycle, the Gen Zers have been living for her seemingly filter-less comments and all-around out-of-pocket nature. We love her for it! Or is it too much? Maybe we are all just online too often.

Rapp has been going viral on just about every platform for her interview one-liners, call-outs, and powerful defense of her friend Megan Thee Stallion (“best ass I’ve ever seen in my life”). But there’s so much more than that!

Here she is doing an ASMR lecture on how “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child helped her overcome anxiety as a child:

And here she explains how she is proudly ageist:

Which explains her not understanding early 2000s references:

Also, she really has the confidence of a middle-aged New York man. This can be scary:

And whatever is happening in this Stephen Colbert interview that ends with them eating cake and covering Drake.

At least she’s self-aware! Rapp made an Instagram post where she poked fun at herself and “lack” of media training by captioning a selfie with “her lack of media training is outrageous.” Maybe she is still in Regina George mode.

Maybe it’s not about the media training…but all of the jokes she made along the way.

Issa Rae’s Comedy ‘Rap Sh!t’ Is The Latest Victim Of The Cancellation Bloodbath At Max

Max

HBO Max may have rebranded as Max, but one thing has definitely remained the same: A steady stream of cancellations. Rap Sh!t, a hip-hop comedy series from Insecure creator Issa Rae, is the latest victim of the ongoing bloodbath at the streamer.

While fans were hoping that Rap Sh!t would return for Season 3, Max has confirmed that the series is no more in a statement announcing its fate.

“We are extremely grateful to Issa Rae for creating Rap Sh!t, a one-of-a-kind comedy with compelling social commentary that reached viewers in a way only Issa’s talents can accomplish,” a Max spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter. “A huge thank you to Issa, showrunner Syreeta Singleton and the teams at Hoorae and 3 Arts Entertainment for introducing us to Shawna and Mia, a duo whose journey fans have been invested in and who they have continued to root for through everything. We’ll never get ‘Seduce and Scheme’ out of our heads and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Rap Sh!t joins a growing list of recent cancelations at Max, which now includes Warrior, Julia, and Our Flag Means Death. However, HBO chief Casey Bloys has confirmed that the creators of the Taika Waititi pirate series are free to shop the show to another platform. As of this writing, no such plans have been announced for Rap Sh!t. Yet.
