Rihanna Shows Off Super Bowl Halftime Show Merch As Her Return To The Stage Nears

by

The Super Bowl itself is an undeniably big deal every year. However, it’s often the Halftime show that really captivates audiences. In 2022, an impressive roster of artists took to the stage. Among them were 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Mary J. Blige.

For some time, it was said that following such a lineup wouldn’t be easy for 2023’s headliner. However, it seems that the perfect artist was found in the form of Rihanna. She previously took a years-long hiatus from the music industry in favour of her other creative pursuits.

As the annual game nears, the new mother has been using social media to tease her fans about what they can expect. Most recently, she showed off her accompanying Savage X Fenty merch – namely a hoodie printed with the initial announcement image of her tattooed hand holding up a football that arrived last year.

“5 weeks from today,” the caption on Sunday’s (January 8) Instagram upload reads. Prior to that, Rih posted the same video on her Story, gearing her 139M followers up for her highly anticipated comeback.

Deadline reports that the “Breakin’ Dishes” hitmaker will be the first to perform in the rebranded Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The big event will take place on Sunday, February 12, in Glendale, Arizona. In charge of production is DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins. Additionally, Hamish Hamilton will act as the director.

Once the exciting announcement came out in 2022, Jay-Z took a moment to praise Rihanna. “[She] is a generational talent, a woman of humble beginnings who has surpassed expectations at every turn,” he said at the time. “A person born on the small island of Barbados who became one of the most prominent artists ever. Self-made in business and entertainment.”

It’s been noted that over 120 million viewers tuned in to the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. Later, it went on to receive a total of three Creative Emmy awards for all the performers involved.

Others who have graced the stage at the year’s biggest football game in the past include Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Prince, Jennifer Lopez, and The Weeknd.

Are you excited to see Rihanna’s return to the stage in February? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cara Delevingne Shows Off Her Naked Yoga Session On IG

by

In the latter half of 2022, many social media users couldn’t help but take notice of the concerning headlines following Cara Delevingne. In September, a video of the model acting erratically surfaced online, causing friends and fans to express their concerns. Specifically, some were worrying that she may be abusing drugs, causing her to act oddly.

At the time, reports came out claiming the 30-year-old’s friends were “desperate” to get her into rehab. Her close pal, Barbie star Margot Robbie was crying while leaving the beauty’s residence in the fall. According to an insider, there was a “good reason” for her emotional outburst.

In the following months, the foreigner took part in various overseas events, including the Cannes Film Festival. Additionally, she made a noteworthy appearance in Rihanna’s annual Savage X Fenty fashion show.

For that, Delevingne donned a flowing cobalt blue top on the red carpet, paired with black mini shorts. The real magic, though, came when she took to the stage in the Bad Gal’s famous lingerie brand.

It seems that walking the runway once again has helped the Paper Towns actress gain her confidence back. To kick off the new year, she shared a sultry snap on her Instagram Story. It was taken from the confines of a cozy-but-snowy cabin.

In the image, a nude body poses in a perfect headstand. The face remains anonymous due to the furniture. However, fans have pointed out that the tattoos on the figure’s ribs obviously match Delevingne’s.

The photo is likely to raise some eyebrows. Thankfully, they’ll be far less dramatic than those concerned about her 2022 antics. Elsewhere on her profile, she let followers know that she’s been having fun axe throwing and galivanting in the snow as well.

Kodak Black Hints At New Album, Admits To Crying Over Saweetie

by

While some artists like to spend the early weeks of the new year relaxing and plotting their moves for the warmer months, others are ready with new music in the form of an album or single for their fans as soon as the clock strikes midnight.

This year, in particular, NBA YoungBoy and French Montana are already on their grind. Apparently, Kodak Black is about to join them, as he has plans to drop an album in the coming weeks. As HipHopDX reports, the Florida native joined Yungeen Ace on Instagram Live to catch up in front of fans. During the session, the artists revealed some of their big plans for 2023.

“I’m just chilling,” Yak told viewers earlier this week. “Finna drop this album next month.” Additionally, he revealed that EST Gee is just one of the features fans will hear on the unnamed project.

It seems the “Super Gremlin” hitmaker wants to work with some R&B stars as well. Both he and Yungeen agreed that they need to find the next Mariah Carey to aid them with their musical goals.

February appears to be a lucky month for Kodak. In 2022, his Back For Everything album arrived that month. It subsequently debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, moving approximately 60K units in the first week.

While music is clearly on his mind, during the same IG Live, the Broward County native couldn’t help but dish on his love life. At one point, he even admitted to shedding a few years when a rap diva chose another artist over him.

“When Saweetie picked Quavo over me she made me cry bro,” he told Ace and their audience. Though he was heartbroken, the 25-year-old was eventually able to “salute” the couple (who have since gone their separate ways) for committing to a serious relationship.

In other news, Kodak Black is just one of the many artists who appeared on our annual best-dressed list. Check the full roster of stylish stars out here, and come back later for more hip-hop news updates.

London On Da Track’s BM Exposes Him: “Nobody Likes [Sissies] That Take Babies From Women”

by

If you thought we were leaving baby mama drama in 2022, you’re dead wrong. This weekend, it’s Eboni Ivori chiefly stepping into the spotlight as she drags her ex, London On Da Track.

The former lovers have been explicitly feuding frequently as of late. Specifically, they came to blows after she made claims that his rumoured new girl, Shenseea, allowed her son to act inappropriately towards the co-parent’s daughter.

“It’s a shame the way Black men do everything to tear Black women down,” she wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week. “As a race and a culture, we need to do better.”

On the next slide, things only became juicier as Eboni shared screenshots of alleged texts from London. “What’s so crazy is just the other day calling me tryin’ to come over in the middle of the night. Tryna get me over there middle of the night, now it’s all this?” her rant went on.

“I’m disgusted that a man that I’ve known for 10 years, way back when he didn’t [have] McDonald’s money, would try to go big on me,” she indirectly said to her ex. “Act like he never knew me, and try to take our daughter.”

Next, Eboni brought another of London’s baby mamas into the conversation. “The same guy that was with Summer Walker for two years. Didn’t lay eyes on her or call her or send a penny is now trying to take her again… Like how?”

From the sounds of things, Ivori is frustrated over the producer’s sudden interest in their child after years of absence. “I hate it for our baby, but you’re well on your way to ruining your reputation and career,” she said. Later she added, “Nobody likes [sissies] that take babies from women.”

For good measure, she ended with, “Run and report all that too, word for word. You probably the reason Thug locked up now, all you do is go to the police.”

Ciara Pregnancy Rumours Are Running Rampant On Social Media

by

We’re just one week into the new year, but already, pregnancy rumours are running rampant online – for one couple, at least. According to online speculation, Ciara may become a mother of four in 2023, though no official confirmation has come just yet.

The gossip actually began circulating in late 2020, though it’s only increased in recent days as social media users have been carefully eyeing her every post for any signs of a budding baby bump.

On Friday (January 6), the “Body Party” hitmaker posted a bootylicious video while wearing a cheetah print look. While she usually proudly flaunts her rock-hard figure for the camera, in this clip, the starlet was noticeably using her left arm to shield her stomach from full view.

Immediately, fans took to the comment section to call Ciara out. “Tryna hide that damn baby,” one person specifically wrote. Another pointed out, “He said he wanted one more baby,” referring to the singer’s husband, Russell Wilson.

Interestingly, the NFL player shared a tweet back in December that also sparked some pregnancy rumours. In the early half of the month, he wrote “JESUS I am Grateful!!!” This led one person to ask him, “@ciara pregnant?!”

The couple already shares two children – Sienna Princess and Win Harrison. Additionally, Ciara welcomed a son with rapper Future, who was named after her ex.

As social media users have pointed out, Wilson hasn’t held back on chiefly expressing his desire to expand his family. He and Ci are frequently referred to as “couple goals” and have been previously known to express their intimate (sometimes downright sensual) PDA on the internet for everyone to see.

Check out Twitter’s reaction to the speculation below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Drake & Former Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll Link Up At Leonardo DiCaprio’s Party

by

Drake has been doing this for a long time. Because of this, it never comes as a surprise when he links up with practically every famous face in the industry. Over the years, the rapper has befriended socialites, models, fellow artists, athletes, and various other creatives. Most recently, his ever-expanding social circle grew by one more as he posted up with a world-famous beauty named Ivana Knoll.

She previously held the title of Miss Croatia. Now, the 26-year-old is spending time with Drizzy. Specifically, they were at Leonardo DiCaprio’s Miami party earlier this week. They posed for an Instagram photo together, which she shared on her feed on Thursday (January 5) morning.

In the image, the Canadian has his arm wrapped around Knoll’s waist. They both widely grin for the camera as the model flips her hair. While not exactly matching, their dark fits were coordinated, and they looked undeniably happy to be in each other’s presence.

As Daily Star notes, the social media star made headlines at the end of 2022 after attending the FIFA World Cup in revealing outfits. The host country, Qatar, created a strict dress code for the event, but she chose to follow her own rules. As a result of her bold actions, her online presence has increased significantly. At this time, she has upwards of 3.6 million followers on Instagram.

Champagne Papi isn’t the only celebrity to appear on Knoll’s feed as of late. To kick off 2023, she shared a picture of her and “Gold Digger” hitmaker Jamie Foxx, also smiling for the camera.

“There’s no better way [than to] start [your] new year with good friends,” her caption reads.

According to reports, Foxx was also present at the Miami party where Drizzy and Knoll snapped their photo together.

Tay-K Says He Wants A “Second Chance At Adulthood” Following 55-Year Sentence

by

Tay-K says he needs “1 chance at adulthood” after he was handed a 55-year sentence in 2019.

The rapper took to Twitter where he pushed back against the 55-year sentence. At the time of the crime, Tay-K was 16-years-old but the severity of the charges led prosecutors to try him as an adult.

“I really just need 1 chance @ adulthood,” he wrote.

However, he argued that the punishment wouldn’t have been as severe if he were white.

“I bet if I was a lil white kid they wouldn’t have gave me no 55 years for a crime I was alleged to play the most insignificant role in when I was 16….they woulda rightfully argued that my mind wasn’t fully developed and gave me rehabilitation and a 2nd (1st) chance at adulthood,” he said.

He pointed out that his co-defendant, a white girl of the same age, basically got off with a slap on the wrist comparatively.

“One of my codefendants was a white girl who was 16 jus like me…they didn’t certify her as an adult but they certified me n pimp as adults,” he wrote. “pimp got 30, I got 55, she ended up getting 10 years of probation without no deal…that girl @ home rn.”

A jury found Tay-K guilty for his alleged involvement in the murder of 21-year-old Ethan Walker during a home invasion. The rapper received 55 years for murder. Additionally, he received another 30 for aggravated robbery, and two 13-year sentences for another two counts of aggravated robbery.

However, during this time that he was fighting that case, he saw his most success as a rapper. After cutting off his ankle monitor while on house arrest, he went on the run and released “The Race.” The song reached #44 on the Billboard Hot 100. Afterward, a remix dropped with additional verses from 21 Savage and Young Nudy.

Buffalo Bills Offer Positive Update About Damar Hamlin

by

After suffering a terrifying health scare, more information is being shared about Damar Hamlin. The sports world has its eyes keenly focused on the NFL after Hamlin collapsed on the field during a game earlier this week. The Buffalo Bills star took a hit, as many professional football players do, but this resulted in two cardiac arrests.

“Per the physicians caring for Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, Damar has shown remarkable improvement over the past 24 hours,” the Buffalo Bills shared in a new statement.

They continued: “While still critically ill, he has demonstrated that he appears to be neurologically intact. His lungs continue to heal and he is making steady progress.”

“We are grateful for the love and support we have received.”

Following Hamlin’s injury, comments made by Skip Bayless caused a firestorm on social media. Bayless shared a tweet questioning if the NFL would cancel the game after Hamlin collapsed. Many believed his post showed insensitivity to the matter at hand.
