Beyoncé Knowles-Carter aka Cowboy Carter, after her recent successful entry into country music just announced the launch of her new whiskey brand, SirDavis.

See, whiskey is a popular drink in country music culture, so the timing is interesting to say the least. 

The diva revealed the exciting new venture on the Gram, posting a photo of herself with a glass of the whiskey and showing off the sleek bottle. The bottle itself is adorned with a golden horse emblem. 

Check this, from her caption, she referenced lyrics from her 2024 song “Bodyguard,” writing, “Davis in my bones,” and included a link to the SirDavis website. Smart marketing, always.

Okay so the product SirDavis is an American whiskey founded by Beyoncé in collaboration with Moët Hennessy and renowned master distiller Bill Lumsden. 

Sounds like they are legit with this collab!

Get this. the whiskey is described on the official website as a blend that marries the complexity of rye with the elegance of malted barley, finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks to create a harmonious balance of spice and subtle fruit notes. Even before its public launch, SirDavis has already earned multiple awards in 2023, establishing itself as an award-winning brand.

Now the idea for the whiskey’s name, SirDavis, actually honors Beyoncé’s great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, who was a successful moonshiner during Prohibition. 

Beyoncé dedicated a letter to him on the brand’s website, writing: “I feel you in the landscapes. Your laughter rolling in the rye. What songs did you sing? What gaps did you fill? Great-grandfather, did you dream of me? Your legacy is a force that drives me.” She concludes the letter by raising a glass to his legacy.

Currently, the SirDavis website also features a selection of specialty cocktails, such as the Honey Bee, Texas Buckin’, Houston, and Davis Old Fashion, complete with recipes for each. 

Fans and whiskey enthusiasts alike, can preorder a 750ml bottle of SirDavis whiskey for $89.99. Additionally, a SirDavis brand home is set to open in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston in 2025, offering a unique experience for visitors.

Sounds like another win for Queen Bey.

Rihanna Sets New Record for Most Diamond Singles by a Female Artist

The Rihanna music return rumors are back running rampant.

The latest comes from The Sun, which states that Rihanna is looking to release the album and embark on a world tour throughout 2025. Additionally, Rihanna is believed to headline next summer’s Glastonbury festival. She was originally scheduled to perform at the fest in 2023 before becoming pregnant with her second child.

An insider added:

“It’s been a running joke how long Rihanna’s ninth album has taken to be released, but finally the wait is almost over.

“Over the years so many songs have been recorded with loads of different people, including Alesso and Diplo.

“She has gone from pop to reggae to hip-hop and everything in between. But because she wants it to sound fresh, and because of where Rihanna is at in her life, practically everything was scrapped.

“Some have been reworked but the majority was canned completely when she went back to the drawing board earlier this year.

“Rihanna has been back in the studio for a while now and things are finally coming together.”

You can read the full report here.

But in the meantime, Rihanna owns Crop Over. She hit her home in Barbados for the carnival celebration and donned a crown to top off a stunning costume.

Rihanna and Fenty Beauty just keep winning, and we are absolutely here for it.  

Bad Gal RiRi, is making waves once again with her massive Fenty brand, securing a top tier partnership with the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics. We like the latter as much as the former, as the Paralympics can benefit from more A-list affiliations of Rihanna’s caliber.

The news broke on Thursday (July 18), where the “Pour it Up” singer posted on the Gram to announce the big news. 

She captioned the post, “Tried to tell y’all… we outside all 2024!!! PROUD to announce that @FentyBeauty is a premium partner of the Olympic AND Paralympic Games baby!!! #FentyxParis2024.”

The partnership followed the more recent launch of Rihanna’s highly-anticipated haircare line, “Fenty Hair,” which hit her ecosystem last month. The new addition to her Fenty empire has already made a major impact on the beauty industry at large.

“You know how much switching my hair up matters to me. I’ve had almost every texture, color, length, from weaves to braids to natural,” Rihanna dished, giving insight into Fenty Hair.

Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty shows no signs of slowing down with reported revenues of approximately $1 billion in 2022, Fenty Beauty remains a significant contributor to Rihanna’s wealth, which Forbes estimated at $1.7 billion in 2021.

Megan Thee Stallion Shouts Out and Sends Flowers to U.S. Gymnast Jordan Chiles After Making Olympic Team

The 2024 Summer Olympics are around the corner and ICYMI, US gymnast Jordan Chiles secured her spot on the team after an impressive performance at the Olympic trials earlier this week. That in itself is life changing and a moment Chiles will forever appreciate but in a show of support, Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion sent Chiles a special gift. 

After qualifying, Chiles gave a shoutout to Megan. 

“This was for you uncle and Megan, I’m going to the AHH-lympics!” the 23-year-old gymnast told reporters, mimicking Meg’s signature ad-lib when saying “Olympics” by sticking out her tongue and saying “AHH.”

Get this, Megan noticed the shoutout and responded on Twitter, posting “my girllll” along with several heart emojis. 

It gets better, soon after, Chiles shared a photo of a bouquet of flowers she received from Megan, captioning it, “I’m literally crying, thank you friend these flowers are beautiful!”

The note from Megan read, “Congratulations for qualifying for the AHH-lympics! Very excited to watch you shine in Paris and represent for all the Hot Girls! Megan.”

Screen Shot 2024 07 07 at 1.59.54 PM

Wow. Women supporting women and not to mention the culture crossover from Hip Hop to the Olympics. This was definitely genuine but even still, smart marketing all around.

Chiles’ admiration for Megan wasn’t unexpected. 

In a previous interview, she mentioned how Megan’s music, along with tracks from Beyoncé and GloRilla, helped boost her confidence and motivation. “The whole time while we were getting ready we were vibing, we were listening to music, you know, Megan, Beyoncé, GloRilla. Every girl artist you can think of was popping up,” she said. “And I was like, ‘You know what? If these girls can slay like this, I can go out there and slay like them.’”

The 2024 Paris Olympics will kick off with the opening ceremony on July 26 and run through August 11.

Even Snoop will be doing some Olympic commentary so there’s plenty to tune in for from the Hip Hop sphere.

Meanwhile, Megan is enjoying a successful run on her Hot Girl Summer Tour, with her next stop in Paris on July 7. Timing is impeccable after her gesture to Chiles … The tour’s Europe leg will conclude on July 17 before heading back to the U.S. for final performances in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Only right, wrapping up in the nation’s capital. Megan out here winning, for sure.

Azealia Banks Facing Florida Eviction Accuses Landlord of ‘Intimidation’

It’s not a hot girl summer for Azealia Banks who just filed a lawsuit against her landlord. She accused him of wrongfully blaming her for a rodent infestation and allowing unauthorized filming of her lingerie, which was reported, exclusively by In Touch. 

Get this, the plot thickens. In court documents obtained by In Touch, they reveal that Azealia made these allegations after facing an eviction lawsuit. 

On June 4th, her landlord, Isis Claro, sued Azealia, claiming she occupied their property under an oral lease agreement. 

According to The Neighborhood Talk, Isis alleged that Azealia owed $8,000 in back rent and sought her eviction from a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 3,088 square-foot home in Palmetto Bay, Florida. 

Sheesh, eight racks?

But hold on now, Azealia responded with a countersuit against Isis and another individual, firmly denying any wrongdoing. 

She stated, “Defendant has complied with all controlling terms of the Parties’ Lease Agreement, including the timely payment of rent.” Azealia disputed the rent amount and additional charges imposed by the landlord, asserting that she had signed a one-year lease starting in January 2023 with a monthly rent of $7,050 and had paid a $14,600 security deposit. 

Diving in, she claimed the landlord failed to issue a new lease after the initial term ended and subjected her to “egregious conduct and harassment” during her tenancy.

Banks further accused the landlord of neglecting maintenance tasks, refusing rent payments, and invading her privacy. Additionally, she alleged that the landlord allowed unauthorized access by a third party who filmed her personal belongings, including lingerie, constituting harassment, and intimidation at inconvenient times.

When it comes to the condition of the rental, Azealia claimed that the landlord falsely blamed her for a rodent infestation originating from the property’s roof. Despite repairmen’s notifications, the issue remained unresolved. Her lawsuit demands the return of her security deposit and legal fees. 

As of July 2nd, the landlord sought dismissal of Azealia’s claims and requested possession of the property, pending a judge’s ruling. The rent crisis in America is no joke and seems like not even Azealia Banks is immune.

Serena Williams Embraces Post-Childbirth Body Image with a Cutting-Edge Treatment

by
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian Welcome Second Daughter, Adira River Ohanian

Serena Williams, the tennis icon turned doting mother, is no stranger to facing challenges head-on—whether on the court or off. Recently, the ‘greatest athlete of the century’ took on a deeply personal hurdle: her post-childbirth body image. In a candid Instagram post, Serena invited her followers into her intimate journey of self-care, showcasing a cutting-edge procedure aimed at smoothing out her birthing scars.

In the video, the retired tennis legend is seen lying on an exam table, a smile on her face as a technician methodically glides an ultrasound-like wand over her abdomen. This isn’t just any spa day; it’s a radio frequency skin-tightening treatment, a marvel of modern technology that uses electromagnetic waves to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The results? A tighter, more rejuvenated skin surface, and for Serena, a boost in self-confidence.

The backdrop for this pampering session was as glamorous as the athlete herself—Paris. During a well-deserved getaway in the City of Light, Serena’s thoughtful friends gifted her a day at the renowned Maison Lutétia spa. Understanding her insecurities about her postpartum tummy, they orchestrated a perfect blend of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Serena’s revelation is more than skin-deep. In her post, she candidly shared the ongoing struggle with her body’s changes since giving birth. Despite the world seeing her as a paragon of strength and athleticism, Serena’s journey is a poignant reminder that even the most accomplished among us grapple with self-image issues. Yet, the procedure isn’t about erasing the past. Serena embraces her scars, cherishing them as symbols of the two greatest victories of her life—her children. “I will always love my birthing scars,” she wrote, “but I just wanted to say thanks to my friend Mia and Nat for letting me know it’s ok to take time for myself away from work and kids.”

In classic Serena style, she wraps up her message with a nod to the wonders of modern science. “The power of technology … it can do anything these days!” she quipped, a testament to her ever-present wit and resilience.

This deeply personal and relatable glimpse into Serena Williams’ life underscores her vulnerability and strength, inspiring her fans to embrace self-care and self-acceptance. Her journey is a powerful reminder that self-love and technological advancements can go hand-in-hand in achieving holistic well-being.
