Rico Nasty Becomes Rico Nastier On New Eric Andre Show Episode

by

Eric Andre is no stranger to torturing his guests though surprisingly plenty of people still agree to be on his show. His most frequent category of guests are musicians who often get the chance to perform. However, those performances usually come with some kind of terrible gimmick played for laughs. In season six of The Eric Andre Show alone he’s had Lil Nas X, Denzel Curry, Waka Flocka Flame, Donald Glover, and Lil Yachty on the show.

The newest victim is Rico Nasty, who likely knew she was getting into something crazy. Eric Andre opts for a gross-out play on the rapper’s stage name as a bit. She gives consecutive performances as Rico Nastier and Rico Nastierer in the trailer below. The episode also features an interview with rapper turned psychedelic rock act Lil Yachty. It was released last night alongside the season 6 finale. That companion episode featured a performance from rap legends Cypress Hill.

Rico Nasty On The Eric Andre Show

Rico Nasty set the tone for this summer when she dropped a new EP last month. Nasty Summer collected some remixes, sped up versions, and soundtrack cuts into a short compilation. It presents a short run of her most hard-hitting track back to back. The project follows two new singles she’s released this year. “Beat My Face” came out back in March and she followed it up with “Turn It Up” a month later. The latter featured production from Hyperpop duo 100 Gecs and serves as the opening song on Nasty Summer.

Last year, Rico Nasty dropped her second studio album Las Ruinas. The tracklist features guest verses from Teezo Touchdown, Marshmellow, Fred Again, and more. The album saw Rico journeying through various genre experiments with interpolations of metal and dance music. She also made an appearance on one of the biggest debut projects in rap last year. Rico teamed up with Flo Milli for th song “Pay Day” on her album You Still Here, Ho? What do you think of Rico Nasty’s appearance on The Eric Andre Show? Let us know in the comment section below.

Eric Andre Says He Lost 40 Pounds To Disguise Himself For His Adult Swim Show

by

Eric Andre says that he lost nearly 40 pounds to disguise himself while filming the upcoming sixth season of his self-titled Adult Swim series. After sharing pictures from before and after shooting the episodes, he expanded on his body transformation during an interview with Men’s Health.

Captioning the photos on Instagram, Andre wrote: “I think the heaviest I got was 218 lbs and the lightest I got was 173lbs!!! I’ll never do a body modification again! That shit was brutal for both season. (If you work at Marvel, ignore the last two sentences.)”

While speaking with Men’s Health, he explained that he changes up his appearance with the new season to avoid getting recognized. “My basic cable [stardom] has risen a little bit, so I disguise myself,” he told the outlet. “I can’t be in this look when I go out into the streets and prank people. So it’s a little bit out of necessity, but it’s also just a challenge, and I want it to be freaky and comedic. So, for season four, I lost weight. I got as skinny as possible and didn’t really work out. For season five, I gained as much weight as possible. I was just eating pizza and peanut butter sandwiches and piña coladas at night. For season six, I wanted to get ripped. And then as soon as I finished filming, I went back to pizza. It was a journey.”

He continued: “At my heaviest in season five, I got up to 218 pounds. This season, I got down to 173. I remember I got down to 184 pounds, which was my goal weight, and I looked at myself in some camera tests and the abs still weren’t popping. The camera adds 10 pounds. It’s totally true. I remember my heart sinking. I haven’t weighed 173 pounds since high school. But, it’s what you got to do. It took me six months. It’s a full time job. If you see any middle aged person with abs know that they’re either psychotic or unemployed, because it is a full time job.”

Eric Andre With Lil Nas X

The upcoming sixth season of The Eric Andre Show will be the first since 2020. Plenty of hip-hop artists will be appearing in the new episodes including Lil Nas X, Rico Nasty, Waka Flocka Flame, Tinashe, Cypress Hill, and Lil Yachty, among others.

Denzel Curry Performs While He Gets Dental Work Done On “The Eric Andre Show”

Denzel Curry is doing some very interesting promo. Known as one of hip-hop’s most unique voices, he continues to push boundaries with his latest offering. Earlier this month, Curry released the Live At Electric Lady EP. It is recording of a live performance at the iconic New York studio established by Jimi Hendrix. The EP showcases cuts from his previous album. However, they are accompanied by a soulful jazz band that adds a new dimension to the tracks. Tracks like “Lonely Man,” “Troubles,” and the hit single “Walkin” highlight the electric, jazzy, and soulful elements. All of these things come together to make for a captivating listening experience.

Most notably, the EP includes a reimagined version of “Troubles” featuring T-Pain. On it, Denzel Curry adds a fresh verse to the upbeat track infused with soulful instrumentation and impressive bars. Additionally, Denzel delivers an amazing cover of Erykah Badu’s timeless classic “Didn’t Cha Know,” featuring Bilal. Now, Curry has stopped by The Eric Andre Show for some promotion, and it went just about as you might expect.

Denzel Curry Deals With The Madness Of Eric Andre

Earlier today, Denzel Curry posted a clip of his appearance on The Eric Andre Show. Andre is known for his zany antics and almost nonsensical, absurd form of comedy. It appears that Curry’s guest spot on the show will be no different. In the clip, which is linked above, the rapper tries to perform while having dental work done. Eric Andre watches on as he does so. Eventually, he asks Denzel Curry if he would like to ear some curry. Of course, he doesn’t really wait for an answer. He simply walks over and puts some in the rapper’s mouth.

Fans took to the comment section of the Instagram post to joke about the appearance. “Man here getting tortured ,” one said, followed by some laughing emojis. “Look at this man go, what can’t he do?” said another comment. It’s true that getting dental work done while eating curry and rapping at the same time must be pretty difficult. Other fans seemed very excited about Denzel Curry working with Eric Andre. “The best collab since peanut butter and jelly,” one said. One thing is for certain, the segment will be extremely entertaining. What do you think of the clip? Let us know in the comment section!

Lil Nas X Rendered Speechless On “The Eric Andre Show”

by

Lil Nas X has been making some headlines for his antics recently. Being low key isn’t the rapper’s strong suit. In fact, he often trolls people both online and in person. However, many were suprised when a picture was shared online of Lil Nas kissing fellow rapper PinkPantheress. While this might not usually be the talk of the town, the “Industry Baby” hitmaker came out as gay quite some time ago. The kiss with PinkPantheress came just weeks after social media personality WoahVicky accused him of faking his sexuality. Of course, Lil Nas responded to the photo in his typical manner. “she had food on her lip ! i was getting it off!” he tweeted jokingly.

In other news, Lil Nas showed big support for his fellow rapper Jack Harlow. He recently pulled up to the premiere of Harlow’s new Hulu film, a remake of White Men Can’t Jump. Many noted his shirt at the event, which was a shirt bearing the name and image of Harlow. Fans pointed out that was reminiscent of something that happened back in 2022. Last year, Lil Nas X was famously not invited to the BET Awards. However, Jack Harlow was, and he walked the carpet wearing a shirt with Lil Nas’ name and face on it. Some think that the “Call Me By Your Name” rapper was thanking Harlow with his newest red carpet fit.

Lil Nas X: “What The F*ck Is Wrong With You?”

Since his rise to fame, Lil Nas X has gained recognition as one of music’s foremost trolls. He constantly uses his sense of humor to both irk conservative critics and deflect any negative feedback directed his way. However, his ability to navigate such situations might have finally met its match on The Eric Andre Show. The program is known for its outrageous pranks and absurdist comedy, and even Lil Nas seems taken aback. A preview of the upcoming season six premiere shows the rapper as a guest on the show. He seems to find himself rendered speechless.

The host, Eric Andre, employs strange horror-themed gags, unsettling Lil Nas as he sits at the desk. At one point, a disembodied spirit seems to be trying to escape from the desk. Adding to the chaos, Andre’s new co-host Felipe Esparza emerges. He dramatically cuts through the background with an axe, yelling “Here’s Felipe!” As if that weren’t enough, Andre’s microphone now seemingly sprays sleeping gas. This makes the host start drooling, almost falling asleep mid-question, leading Lil Nas to ask a very important question. “What the f*ck is wrong with you?” he says, amused. It’s a wild and unpredictable scene, but there will surely be even crazier moments when the new season premieres.

Eric Andre Somehow Managed To Out-Troll Lil Nas X In His ‘Eric Andre Show’ Interview

by

Over the course of the last four years, Lil Nas X has proven to be one of music’s top trolls — in a good way — with a sense of humor that allows him to rankle chronically unhip conservatives while deflecting any criticism thrown his way. However, he might have met his match on The Eric Andre Show, where the comedian thrives on pranking guests with outlandish stunts and absurdist humor.

In a preview from the upcoming June 4th season six premiere, Andre sits down with Lil Nas X for an “interview” that leaves the young rapper speechless for what might be the first time in his career. After being introduced, Nas is menaced by Andre’s desk with a classic gag from Nightmare On Elm Street, then shocked by Andre’s new sidekick/co-host Felipe Esparza, who chops through a background, The Shining-style, with a gleefully unhinged “Here’s Felipe!” Oh and apparently Andre’s mic now sprays sleeping gas. It’s a lot.

The upcoming sixth season of The Eric Andre Show will feature guests like Blac Chyna, Cypress Hill, Diplo, Jaleel White, Jon Hamm, Lil Yachty, Meagan Good, Natasha Lyonne, Rico Nasty, and Tinashe. Diplo gets kicked in the nuts. It’ll be a good time.

Diplo Gets Kicked Right In The Nuts In A Hectic New ‘The Eric Andre Show’ Trailer

by

The sixth season of The Eric Andre Show is coming soon, and Adult Swim gave fans a sneak peek of the unhinged episodes to come. The show, which has become known for putting musicians through the wringer with its hosts’ deranged pranks, will feature a whole new batch of game rappers, producers, and DJs such as Benny Blanco, Diplo, Lil Yachty, and Rico Nasty.

While it’s hard to make out everything going on in the chaotic trailer, one thing is for sure: Diplo gets kicked right in the nuts. He seems pretty chill about it, though. Meanwhile, Jon Hamm, Natasha Lyonne, and Mia Khalifa seem extremely put off by his antics, so it’s not like he’s going to be doing all this for no payoff after all.

However, it turns out there was at least one guest who got the better of Andre and his merry band of TV trolls. In March, the host recounted how Chet Hanks was the “worst guest” he’s ever had on the show, prompting Hanks to strike back on social media.

Watch the season six trailer for The Eric Andre Show above and watch the sixth season beginning June 4 at midnight.

Chet Hanks Calls Eric André A “P*ssy” After Comedian Labels Him “Emotionally Disturbed”

by

Upon hearing what Eric André had to say about him in a Rolling Stone interview earlier this week, Chet Hanks has a few words of his own for the comedian. As you may recall, the former recalled his experience working on his self-titled show with the controversial actor, who reportedly nearly put several members of the cast and crew in danger with his reckless antics. “He broke our crew. It felt like ‘Rust.’ He broke us down,” the Bad Trip star explained, drawing comparison to the fatal incident that took place on the set of Alec Baldwin’s movie in 2021.

“[Chet] is… emotionally disturbed. He stole a motorcycle and rode it around. He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders,” André added, specifically dishing on the incident that put Hanks in his bad book. “He’s not well. How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?” he went on, also expressing gratitude that his creative control allowed him to “edit out all [the] bullshit.”

Chet Hanks Claps Back

Rather than doing an interview of his own, Hanks handled things in a much more casual manner, addressing André on his Instagram Story. According to the father of one’s version of events, he “outshined” the 39-year-old on his own show, and was just trying to match up to his “weird, outlandish, troll” characters. Elsewhere, Chet described his former collaborator as “soft” and “easily scared,” even asserting that he had no idea Eric was “such a p*ssy 🤣.”

Hanks later added, “There’s a lot of f*cking weirdos in Hollywood, but I didn’t think you were one of them. I thought you were funny and cool but turns out you’re just a p*ssy.” Once André got wind of this, he couldn’t help but come back with some verbal warfare of his own. “Everything Chet Hanks just said about me is a f*cking bald-faced lie,” the multi-talent insisted. “He’s a f*cking liar. And I dare him to take a f*cking DNA test and prove that Tom Hanks is his f*cking father.” See for yourself in the video above, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Eric Andre And Emily Ratajkowski’s Valentine’s Day Picture Explained

by

Eric Andre and Emily Ratajkowski had posted nude pictures of themselves on Valentine’s Day. It has been a month, but we now have a better picture of what happened that day. Eric Andre did an interview with Rolling Stone, in which he explains why they ended up taking the photo. Most of that interview had to do with the upcoming season of his TV show, The Eric Andre Show. He also commented on the trope of the actress/model dating the “ugly” comedian. “How could this happen?” He joked and added, “I think that people think attraction is only based on physical appearance, but beauty is only skin-deep.”

Andre and Ratajkowski had not been together long. Only since January. However, we do know that they spent a lot of time together. They had spent a three-hour dinner together and even had a romantic getaway to the Cayman Islands. While they did not date for long, they went off the deep end and tried to get the most out of their time together.

Valentine’s Day Aftermath

Andre was just in the moment when Ratajkowski started laughing and she took a photo of it. When he saw it, they both started dying of laughter. They knew they had to share it with the world. Ratajkowski was repeating “Iconic, this is iconic.” Every time that she saw the photograph. The reason why the photograph worked was that it was instinctual, according to him. It spoke to the hormones as well as to the mind. It was just a happy little accident. Ratajkowski has not commented on this story yet to give her side of it.

What we do know, however, is that a couple of days later, they broke things off. Ratajkowski revealed this through a vague Tick Tock video. We do not know what exactly happened between them. Ratajkowski appears to have a problem with long-term relationships. The last time that she had stayed with someone for more than a year was with her ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard. There is speculation that she is going back to DJ Orazio Rispo, whom she dated, four months ago. However, nothing is confirmed.

Chet Hanks Is “Emotionally Disturbed” And “Not Well,” Eric André Claims

by

Some “nepo babies,” such as Gigi Hadid, have made wildly successful careers for themselves by taking advantage of the opportunities their famous families have afforded them. Others, however, seem to crumble under the pressure of being in the spotlight (often from a young age), taking dark and troubling routes rather than coasting through Hollywood with ease. A star who seems to fall into the latter category is Chet Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.

While he has had some noteworthy acting roles over the years, the 32-year-old’s name is often embroiled in controversy, showing him in a negative light. He’s previously been accused of cultural appropriation after going viral several times while speaking in a Jamaican accent on social media, and now, Eric André is spilling on his time spent working with Hanks. During a recent conversation with Rolling Stone, the comedian described the Your Honor star as “emotionally disturbed,” among other things.

Eric’s Experience Working with Chet Hanks

“Chet Hanks was a tough cookie,” André recalled of working with the California native on his self-titled show. “He broke our crew. It felt like ‘Rust.’ He broke us down,” the 39-year-old further explained, comparing Hanks to Alec Baldwin’s western film that was shut down several months back after the unexpected death of Halyna Hutchins on set. Apparently, the environment he created on the Eric André Show was equally as “dangerous” and could’ve seriously injured other cast and crew members.

The Bad Trip star went on to share that “[Chet] is… emotionally disturbed. He stole a motorcycle and rode it around. He almost knocked a bunch of grips and gaffers off their ladders.” Thankfully, André’s creative control allowed him to “edit out all [the] bullshit” Hanks pulled off while trying to prank Eric back. “He’s not well. How did Colin Hanks come out so good and Chet Hanks come out so bad?” the Florida native pondered.

Actor Reportedly Tried to Sleep with Ziwe

Elsewhere in his interview, André alleged that Chet Hanks tried to sleep with talk show host Ziwe, who he previously went to school with. “I talked to Ziwe about it. God, what a guy. Now he’s the executive producer on the show and the president of Adult Swim,” the funny man quipped. Just last year, the embattled entertainer appeared on the female host’s Showtime series, at which time he went viral for his various on-screen antics.

Emily Ratajkowski Posts About “Situationship” Ending After Eric André V-Day Nudes

by

Each and every Valentine’s Day, couples all around the world shock their Instagram followers by hard launching their relationship. Whether it’s the outcasts from high school you’d never picture together or two celebrities you’ve never met, the holiday has been known to yield shocking gossip. Among the latter category this year was an unexpected pair – Eric André and Emily Ratajkowski.

The comedian and the model began sparking romance rumours long before cupid came around. Unfortunately, it seems their fling may have ended just as quickly as it began. On Tuesday (February 14), André broke the internet with some scandalous selfies of the pair, causing their apparent coupling to become a hot topic of discourse. For the most part, many seem to be in favour of the pair, pointing out that it’s nice to see a runway model romancing someone less conventionally attractive than her.

Obviously, the nearly-nude photos of Ratajowski and André didn’t exactly confirm that they’re dating. Still, they did lead many to assume. On Friday (February 17), the mother of one further pushed these rumours forward with a TikTok which also seemingly hints at the end of their brief love affair. In the clip, she appears to lay in bed topless while using one of the app’s trending sounds.

“What should you do when a relationship ends?” the 31-year-old wrote on the screen. Her own answer to the question? “Start another one.” The point of the trend is for users to call themselves out on their toxic traits. It seems as though EmRata is willing to amid that she jumps from man to man more quickly than she’d like. Of course, this doesn’t mean she and André have wrapped. Seeing how quickly things with her and Pete Davidson went south, though, it wouldn’t be surprising.

The last few weeks of 2022 saw Ratajkowski spending her free time with the Saturday Night Live alum. After a few weeks of date nights and paparazzi shots, though, they called it quits. The New Yorker has since moved on with his co-star Chase Sui Wonders, while the brunette beauty vented about attracting “the worst men” shortly after. Read everything Emily had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
