35-year-old mogul Rihanna is the first female artist to have ten songs hit one billion streams on Spotify.

The ‘Halo’ singer celebrated on her Instagram page, writing ‘Bad gal bili.’

‘Wit no new album…lemme talk my sh*t,’ the Barbardian-born beauty joked, adding a winking emoji with its tongue out next to an emoji of the flag of her home country.  

Her last album, Anti, dropped in 2016.  

The monumental achievement follows Rihanna’s viral SuperBowl LVII halftime performance, where the former Fenty CEO showed off her baby belly, revealing she was pregnant with her second child.

Arguably one of the most influential singers of the 21st century, Rihanna would go on to release several follow-up, record-breaking albums.

Her 2012 album, Unapologetic, was Rihanna’s first studio record to hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

The dedicated philanthropist also ventured out into multiple business ventures in the wake of her musical success.

Following the release of her sixth album in 2016, Rihanna founded Fenty Beauty in 2017.

Now regarded as one of the best makeup and skincare lines on the market, Fenty Beauty is used by 13% of cosmetics and makeup-users in the United States, according to Statista.

One year later, the Diamonds In The Sky singer founded her second successful business, a lingerie line she called Savage X Fenty.

Drops mic. Salute to ‘Bad Gal Bili’!

On her Instagram page, Jada wrote:

On October 17th, I invite you into a journey that, understandably, many think they already know. The fact that I have, in the last four years contributed to the creation and perpetuation of falsehoods about myself, in which other untrue narratives were birthed, has surely aided in the misunderstandings that surround me. This fall, with deep humility and respect, I will take back my narrative. My memoir starts at the beginning, offering an unvarnished and revealing account from my challenging upbringing in Baltimore into a controversial life in Hollywood. It’s a harrowing ride of reclaiming my self-worth while unraveling unspoken truths.

My adventures of my youth, meaningful friendships, marriage, motherhood, self-betrayal and self reclamation are mere reflections of the adventures so many of us have taken in search of happiness. My hope is that through the exploration of my own tumultuous situations to the rediscovery of deep love, that we are all reminded that no matter where we may be on our journey, we are all…Worthy.

Kim Kardashian is currently co-parenting with Kanye West, but getting along with the once-billionaire may not be the easiest task. Speaking with Vogue Italia, Kim K speaks about hiding her anger with Ye when she is around the kids.

“If it’s something concerning my kids’ dad and I’m upset, I try not to show as much emotion,” she said. “I have to be ready to explain why I’m upset and it might not be appropriate for them to know. There’s nothing worse than ‘You’ll understand when you’re older.’ I don’t want to be that person.”

Kardashian also spoke about how if it she is upset about something her kids can understand, she will let it show. “On Christmas morning, I cried when my mom gave me a doll house. My kids didn’t understand why, and I explained I had that at my dad’s house as a little girl.”

Recently, Kim Kardashian revealed she doesn’t let her kids keep up with news about their dad, Kanye West. The mom of four shares North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West with her ex-husband and takes all precautions to shield them from stories related to their father.

“When stuff is said, it’s a chain to my whole household, no TV, only Apple TV,” Kim revealed to her mom, Kris Jenner, during Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians. “I can’t risk Access Hollywood coming up next or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch,” Kim continued. “I have to figure out a way to, like, protect. And so they still haven’t seen anything, but I go into crisis mode.”

During this week’s episode of The Kardashians, which aired on June 1, Kim recalled that when she was married to Kanye, and he would make negative headlines, she would run around calling people behind his back, telling them, “It’s gonna be OK. It’s gonna be OK. Don’t worry. Just give him another chance.” Kim revealed that she used to “spend hours and hours and hours” of her days as “the clean up crew.” “That’s why you got divorced because you can’t do that to yourself,” Kris told her daughter.
During her confessional, Kim admitted, “It’s like the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved and you have a family with just be so different than who you knew.”

His doctor feared he would lose his left foot due to poor circulation caused by blood clots in his leg. But Deion dismissed talks of amputation on Thursday.

“There is no talk of amputation. There’s no talk of any of that whatsoever,” he said.

Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Ne-Yo has been in the news lately when hew filed a motion demanding a DNA test for the second child fathered by his latest baby mama Sade Bagnerise. Apparently the DNA testing must have revealed it is Ne-yo’s baby because now Sade is making custodial demands.

Radar Online Reports:

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Sade and her lawyer showed up to court last week to respond to Ne-Yo’s lawsuit.

In her newly filed countersuit, Sade demanded primary physical custody of the 2 kids but agreed to share joint legal custody, which would allow Ne-Yo to have a say on important matters in their children’s lives.

Sade said Ne-Yo should be awarded every other weekend visitation along with alternating holiday parenting time. Further, she asked that the court award her temporary and permanent child support – along with reimbursement for a fair portion of any medical, educational, extracurricular, insurance, or other expenses related to the minor children that she incurs.

Sade did not address Ne-Yo’s demand for a DNA test on the youngest child but noted, “[Ne-Yo] is the biological father of the parties’ minor children.”

Youtube blogger Tasha K took to social media  questioning Cardi’s ability to cope with grief following the death of the late Migos rapper Takeoff.

“Wasn’t she posting guns right after Takeoff died?,” Tasha K asked her social followers. “And on the internet, cutting up not long after his sudden takeoff? I’m just asking… everyone grieves diff.”
Cardi B took to Twitter to call out the YouTuber, calling her remarks despicable and accusing her of hypocrisy.

Cardi B opened up about her grief over Takeoff’s passing. She shared the emotional toll it has taken on her, including weight loss, difficulty eating and sleeping, and ongoing grief that she shares with her husband, Offset. 

Cardi then spoke about the threats she faces as a rapper and her need for personal protection, highlighting the relevance of her gun ownership. The Grammy Award-winning rapper then alleged that Tasha K is hiding money in Africa, a claim she believes her lawyers are aware of.

Cardi B is set to seize blogger Tasha K’s YouTube account money after the blogger failed to pay up on the $4 million defamation lawsuit. Tasha K lost her appeal in March 2023 and was ordered to pay the Bronx rapper, but she claims to have just over $1,000 in her bank account.

Missy Elliott has broken barriers in music and now the legendary artist is opening up about her personal struggles with mental health.
In an interview with Essence Magazine, she discussed her battle with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder, which led her to realize that it’s okay not to be strong and composed all the time.

“Now I’m fine with being like, ‘Hey, I got anxiety’ or ’I went through depression,’” Elliott, 51, told the outlet.

“Now I’m fine with being like, ‘Hey, I got anxiety’ or ‘I went through depression,’” shared the 51-year-old artist. “Even the biggest artist, or just the regular everyday working person, we all go through s—. We all do. And it’s OK to say, ‘Hey, I’m not OK today.’”

“Probably we would keep a lot of people around if we were that open, because we would be able to uplift each other. We’d know that I’m not going to look at you crazy if you say, ‘Hey, I’m having a rough day.’ Maybe you’re thinking things that you shouldn’t think, or whatever the case may be,” she added.

In addition to discussing her present mental health Elliott, reflected on her childhood anxiety.

“I think that a lot of things were brushed up under the rug for me growing up, and probably also for a lot of people,” she said, adding of the pandemic: “I had so much time to just think of childhood stuff, and all kinds of stuff.”

According to Missy Elliott by embracing her humanity, with all its imperfections and vulnerabilities, is what makes her who she is today.

Her openness about mental health serves as a reminder that it’s ok to seek support when needed.
