Watch The Superstar Crew Of Lil Wayne, Gunna, Lil Baby And Even Mary J. Blige Perform At NBA All-Star

by

Following up the hip-hop extravaganza that was this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, another superstar crew got together for a second major sports event. Basketball fans don’t have to wait long after the biggest football game of the year is over to get their own fix, as the NBA’s annual All-Star weekend usually comes right after. And though this might be the first time the Super Bowl has ever fully embraced rap, that’s not the case for the NBA at all. The league has a much better relationship with hip-hop artists than the NFL has in recent history, so it’s no surprise that they booked a packed stage for 2022.

DJ Khaled returned for a third time to orchestrate the whole medley of performers, occasionally overstepping his bounds as an overeager hype man, and helped ring in sets from Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, Gunna, Ludacris, Migos, and even Mary J. Blige herself, who was the only performer involved in both of these massive sporting events. If that doesn’t cement her legendary status, at this point, I don’t know what will. Check out the whole performance above and get more of Uproxx’s NBA All-Star weekend coverage by following along with Dime Magazine.

DDG And Gunna Share Their Aspirations To Be As Rich As ‘Elon Musk’

by

It’s been a few years since DDG decided to shift his focus from YouTube to music, and so far, it’s paid off well for the young rapper. He kicked things off in 2018 with Take Me Serious, and by last year, he earned his respect with his third project Die 4 Respect. The 11-track effort delivered appearances from Lil Yachty, Pnb Rock, Coi Leray, 42 Dugg, and more and stood out in the hip-hop world and appeared on Uproxx’s Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2021 list. We’ll have to see what’s next for DDG, but he’s getting the ball rolling with his new single, “Elon Musk” alongside Gunna.

The new track sticks to the melodic formula that the rappers have thrived with, and on it, DGG and Gunna share their aspirations to be as rich as Elon Musk and Kanye West. The new single arrives after DDG ended his 2021 year with “Rucci,” a triumphant effort that celebrated his success in two games. As for Gunna, he’s been off to a great start in 2022 as he kicked off the year with his third album DS4EVER. The project has stood out as a favorite in the music world and it also became his second No. 1 solo album after it beat out The Weeknd’s Dawn FM for the top spot.

DDG and Gunna’s pairing also comes at an interesting time as many have romantically linked them to R&B sister duo Halle and Chloe Bailey respectively.

Gunna And Chloe Cozy Up With Each Other In The High-Fashion ‘You & Me’ Video

by

As much as he’s known for his word-twisting rhymes and penchant for creating his own slang terms, Gunna has developed a reputation for being a fashion aficionado, even receiving an outfit co-sign from the “Fashion Killa” herself, Rihanna. Now, he’s put his own spin on that iconic video, this time for his own DS4EVER single, “You & Me,” which features his own possible musical match, Chloe Bailey.

As the two stars wander through the round racks in a massive showroom, they pose and mug a mirror, which Chloe leaves a big kiss on. They also hit a honeymoon suite, complete with a heart-shaped bed covered in roses for an aerial shot of the couple getting extra cozy. Then, Gunna performs his heartfelt verses from inside a phone booth while wearing a jacket bearing a giant “P” on the back as a nod to his fan-favorite new song and habit of using the emoji to signify his approval.

“You & Me” is just one of the standout tracks from Gunna’s latest album, which also launched the singles “Too Easy,” “Livin Wild,” “Pushin P,” and “P Power.”
