Beyoncé Shows Off Her Natural Hair on IG as She Promotes Her Hair Care Line

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Beyoncé has been known to change up her hairstyle almost as much as she changes costumes over the years, she’s letting everyone know that her real hair is every bit as amazing as her singing talents.

On Sunday, Bey took to IG to show her full wash, dry, and style routine as part of a promotion for her haircare line, Cécred. The video begins with her stylist brushing out her hair and then washing and conditioning it with a variety of products from her line and then combing through with a detangling comb before drying, flat-ironing, and styling it. Throughout the video, she narrates some aspects of her routine (she uses medium heat rather than high heat) while also dispelling the myth that women who wear wigs and extensions don’t have healthy hair- addressing some of the criticism she has received over the years.

She captioned the minute and a half long video with the following:

It has been such a special experience seeing all of your #cecredwashday rituals all over my timeline… I just had to join in with something I had in the archives

Being disruptive and challenging everything people feel should be the process has always been exciting to me. My hair and music seemed to do that a lot over the years…

Maintaining 25 years of blonde on natural hair through all the experimenting I do has played a huge part in developing @cecred’s products. It’s the hardest to keep color-treated hair healthy and strong, but @cecred is here. All quality, with NO shortcuts. Congratulations to the entire CÉCRED team for contributing to developing award-winning products.

Happy #cecredwashday!

Cécred is a partnership between Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles. Tina ran a successful beauty shop in Houston, making her a natural subject matter expert for the pair’s line, which caters to a variety of textures and hair types.

Draya is a disgusting ass b:tch. Having a baby by a 21 year old and you 40 is some nasty and predatory work. Don’t she got a son? How would she feel if some old ass woman came sniffing behind her child? Having a baby for a check is deplorable behavior. pic.twitter.com/5FDo1wTjOE

Ta’Rhonda Jones Remembers Getting Whooped For Singing Shawnna’s Lyrics In “What’s Your Fantasy”

April 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

You may recognize Ta’Rhonda Jones from her standout role as Porsha Taylor on FOX’s hit television series Empire alongside Taraji P. Henson, but she’s actually so much more. Beyond the small screen, Jones is an activist, director, producer, celebrity master chef champion, fashion designer, host, comedian, rapper, songwriter and philanthropist.

Most recently, Jones landed her dream role hosting the newest show on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network’s titled The Never Ever Mets. The show follows seven couples as they transform their online dating relationship into real life, meeting for the first time in person. Thankfully, Jones is there to facilitate every step of the way.

The Source spoke with Ta’Rhonda Jones about her love for Hip-Hop and how it landed her this new role.

How long have you been rapping?

I’ve been rapping since I was 10, 11 years old. Since I was a kid. I’ve been doing this a long time.

Did the acting kind of fall in your lap?
It did. [laughs] I remember my brother calling me in the middle of the night saying “Hey, Terrence Howard is looking for this female rapper in their 20’s. I think you’d be dope for this opportunity. I do music with an engineer here and they passed the message along to him, he passed the message to my brother and that’s when my brother called me. But somehow the message got misconstrued, it was related to me wrong.

Terrence Howard was not looking for rappers, Empire was looking for women who were musically-inclined. When I went in, I’m thinking I’m gon’ find Terrence sitting in front of me spitting these bars. He was nowhere to be found! [laughs] They’re like, “Got your lines?” I’m like, what lines? Where’s Terrence? Because I’m supposed to be rapping for him. The rest was history. Empire fell in my lap. [laughs] Because I’ve never acted before. I’ve never even considered acting. I knew I wanted to be an entertainer, but not on the scale of acting.

That’s what happened with this show. I asked the producer after we got well acquainted with one another. I said what made you guys choose me? He said, “Well, I came across a video of you rapping in the studio. I thought, ‘Oh, this girl is something else.’” Wait, not because you think I’m a capable host, but because you saw me rapping in the studio? He said “Yeah.” [laughs] What a full circle home. I always say my music is the thing that’s going to open the doors for me, and that’s what it did with this opportunity with The Never Ever Mets.

What was the moment you fell in love with Hip-Hop?

I remember rapping this Shawnna song. I want to “lick you from your…” Now I was a kid, and I remember my grandma whooped me so good for singing that song. I didn’t realize until I got older, when you say the lyrics. When you listen to stuff now that you’re older and can understand the song, you’re like what? I was singing about cocaine this whole time? “Do you wanna ride on the white horse…”

You just never know until you get a little older. You mean to tell me I was rapping about cocaine this whole time? When I used to sing Shawnna, my grandma whooped me something good for rapping that song. I’m like what is the problem? Watching 106 & Park and TRL, trying to rush home to catch those moments? Oh my God, love music. Fell in love with music. My first CD was Destiny’s Child, The Writing’s on the Wall. I got a CD player for Christmas, and that was my first CD. Look, listen: R&B, Hip-Hop? That’s my thing.

This collaborative effort aims to address the shortage of recreational facilities while inspiring empowerment and positive change within the underserved community of Downtown Los Angeles.

The comprehensive refurbishment includes sanding and refinishing, updating the iconic Mr. Cartoon mural, new backboards, padding, lighting improvements, and more.

Zendaya Speaks on ‘Euphoria’ Season 3: ‘It’s Beyond Me’

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Zendaya Reportedly Set to Earn $1M for Each Episode of 'Euphoria' Season 3

Regarding Euphoria returning to HBO, even Zendaya has no idea about the future of the popular Gen Z show.

Zendaya told Variety during the Los Angeles premiere of her new sports romance thriller, “Challengers,” that she has no say as to when production will ratchet up again. She’s credited as an executive producer, but it’s still not her call. She said: “I am not in charge. But, of course, if it’s right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course. But it’s beyond me.”

Zendaya’s ambiguity comes just weeks after HBO officially announced that season 3 of Euphoria would be postponed. The Warner Discovery network made it clear that they are committed to shooting a new season in the future, but they were also committed to supporting the series stars’ pursuit of other opportunities while they figure things out about Euphoria.

On that note, Hollywood’s Euphoria cast is hot right now. Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard, starred in 3 films in the past six months alone, to varied levels of success. Hunter Schafer, who plays Zendaya’s romantic interest, starred in last year’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, a box-office blockbuster. And, of course, Zendaya starred in Dune: Part 2 and has many other high-profile projects coming up; it’s safe to say Euphoria or not; Zendaya and company are doing just fine.

Simone Biles ‘Broke Down’ After Viral Interview With Husband Jonathan Owens

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Simone Biles admitted on the “Pivot” podcast that the intense backlash her husband, Jonathan Owens faced after his interview went viral took a toll on her mental health.

ICYMI, it all started when, back in December 2023, the NFL player stirred up controversy when he seemingly honestly claimed that he did not even know who Biles was, the most celebrated American gymnast of all time, before they began dating. Then, he took it further when was asked how he was able to get close to the Olympic gold medalist, Owens had the gaul to say he was more of a “catch” than him snagging the olympian. He tried to mansplain his answer by saying “I always say that the men are the catch,” the 28-year-old NFL player said.

Social media users were livid that he implied that he was a bigger catch than Biles, who was sitting there during the interview. How bad was it? It’s all in context. Can you blame him for being confident, or was he just being arrogant? You be the judge.

Biles said on the Call Her Daddy podcast that Owens “never said [she] wasn’t a catch.”

“He said he was a catch,” the 27-year-old exclaimed. “Because he is! I’ve never met a man like him.” She seemed to support her man even now.

After she went on social media, things took a turn. “I thought everything was OK, and then I go on Twitter and everybody’s like, ‘Divorce this man. He’s mean!’” Biles recalled. “I’m like, ‘He’s the sweetest. He praises the ground that I walk on.’ Truly, I’ve never met a man like him … he truly goes out of his way to do anything for me.”

Eventually, the social media chatter took a toll on her. “I thought it was hilarious at first and then it hurt my feelings,” she said. “One night I broke down and I’m like, ‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don’t know him. You don’t know who he is and if anybody’s met him, you know he’s the sweetest guy, will do anything for anybody.’”

She continued, “That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that. For me, it’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family, never.”

Biles was hurting. It got deep, but she wore a brave face. Despite the internet trying to tell Biles to divorce her man, the union is still going strong. “I mean, in Paris I think they will do a beautiful job and he doesn’t travel overseas too too much,” she said. “He had to get a passport — he never had a passport before,” she went on to say. “I’m excited for him to see the Olympics because football’s not in the Olympics and he always says it’s the hardest sport, it’s universal. So, why is it not in the Olympics?” she said joking.

The couple began dating in 2020 and got married three years later. What more can you say? Haters are going to hate.

SOURCE SPORTS: WNBA Draft Sets Record-Breaking Viewership

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Caitlin Clark Drafted to Indiana Fever, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardso Form Duo in Chicago

According to ESPN, the WNBA Draft on Monday night shattered records, drawing an unprecedented average of 2.45 million viewers. The event reached its peak viewership at 3.09 million, marking a historic moment for the league.

This remarkable audience turnout reflects a significant surge in interest, with viewership more than quadruple compared to the previous year’s draft, which garnered 572,000 viewers. The last record draft stood at 601,000 viewers in 2004, notably featuring UConn’s Diana Taurasi as the top pick.

Monday’s broadcast marked the highest viewership for any WNBA telecast since 2000 when NBC attracted 2.74 million viewers for a Memorial Day matchup between the New York Liberty and the now-defunct Houston Comets. The impressive numbers underscore women’s basketball’s growing popularity and appeal, signaling a bright future for the sport.

In a historic moment at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Caitlin Clark, the two-time Naismith College Player of the Year, was chosen as the first overall pick in the WNBA Draft 2024 presented by State Farm®. This selection marks a pivotal moment in the young athlete’s career, representing a significant milestone for both Clark and the Indiana Fever.

Clark, a standout guard from Iowa, showcased her exceptional talent throughout her collegiate career, leading her team to consecutive NCAA Division I women’s basketball championship appearances. With remarkable averages of 31.6 points, 8.9 assists, and 7.4 rebounds per game, she dominated Division I basketball, securing her place in history as the all-time leader in total points and three-pointers made.

Following Clark’s selection, the Los Angeles Sparks chose Cameron Brink of Stanford as the second overall pick. Brink, a formidable center-forward, boasts an impressive resume, including accolades such as the 2024 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and the 2024 Lisa Leslie Award.

The team of analysts from CasinoenligneGuru became interested in how the popularity and activity of Caitlin Clark on social media changed after she became a national sensation, entering basketball history as the most productive player in the NCAA Division I history (both in women’s and men’s leagues) and winning the hearts of spectators by leading the Iowa Hawkeyes team during the March Madness 2024 tournament. Currently, she is in the WNBA draft and is on her way to becoming a professional in her sport and personal style.

According to calculations made, on March 30 of this year, the number of followers on Instagram @caitlinclark22 was 1,355,482, but today, after 3 weeks, this number has grown to 2,041,969! This impressive surge in popularity amounts to a new 700,000 fans and supporters!

The Chicago Sky rounded out the top three picks by selecting Kamilla Cardoso of South Carolina, a towering center who played a pivotal role in her team’s national championship victory.

However, one of the standout moments of the draft came with the Chicago Sky’s selection of Angel Reese. Reese, a 6-3 forward from LSU, was instrumental in leading her team to the national title in 2023. Her dominance on the court was unparalleled, as evidenced by her NCAA-record 34 double-doubles during the championship season. Reese’s selection marks a significant addition to the Sky’s roster, adding a dynamic player with a proven track record of success.
