Drake Allegedly Couldn’t Help But Laugh About Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Announcement

by

With Kendrick Lamar being the official Halftime Show performer at this year’s Super Bowl, there are a lot of angles to this headline. Obviously, the most glaring thing to dissect is that Lil Wayne was not chosen yet again to grace one of the biggest stages in music. People are especially upset given the fact that the championship game is once again in New Orleans (third time in the last 22 years). However, the other way to look at this is, “How will this affect The Boy”? The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been a major talking point all year for a lot of reasons.

Pretty recently, the Canadian rapper was indirectly offering up a round two to K-Dot. However, the latter seems to be pretty uninterested based on his pretty obvious response in the announcement video. “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship. No round two’s“. Since that earth-shattering move, Drizzy has been silent on the matter. But according to MAL of New Rory & MAL podcast, he’s got some tea to spill direct from the source.

Drake Appears To Not Be Bothered About Kendrick Lamar Performing At The Super Bowl

MAL revealed he allegedly spoke with Drake casually, but the Super Bowl announcement came up as well. Rory asked his co-host if he could reveal any of what was said between them; however, MAL went against providing any details. However, what he did say was “A lot of it was just laughing, man. It’s just like ‘word this is what y’all want to see? Like okay’”. Based on what MAL had to say, it seems he’s against the choice and is team Drizzy all the way. His co-hosts argued against MAL’s claims that no one wants to see Lamar, using Nicki Minaj as the example of being the entire internet. Fans in the comment section were quick to roast him for that. “I guess Nicki Minaj is “the whole internet”, one X user replies to the clip.

What are your thoughts on Drake supposedly laughing off Kendrick Lamar being picked to perform at the Super Bowl?

Beyonce & JAY-Z’s Lack Of Recent Public Appearances Linked To Alleged Diddy Friendship By Industry Insider

by

Beyonce and JAY-Z should be making more public appearances right now according to one music industry insider for Page Six. Despite the release of Beyonce’s ambitious eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, just over two months ago, the legendary singer has shied away from the public eye in recent weeks. The couple’s lack of attention comes after CNN published footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016, last month. They’ve maintained a public friendship with the Bad Boy mogul over the years though there is nothing connecting either JAY or Beyonce to any of the misconduct allegations levied against Diddy. Page Six reports the two could be laying low to avoid bad publicity.

“This was supposed to be Beyonce’s time, with her much-anticipated country album out [just] two months ago. And yet, she is nowhere to be seen. The album is slipping and Jay and B aren’t reveling in the spotlight,” one source that the outlet described as “shocked” said. “About a month before the [March 29] release, Jay-Z got up at the Grammys and whined that Beyoncé had never won Album of the Year. But now what? Does he think she will win . . . for ‘Cowboy Carter’ with no promotion . . . no appearances and no wooing of the academy?”

The insider added that, while the album isn’t a flop, “it’s definitely not the juggernaut everyone thought it would be.” They continued: “Something is going on. It came out with a bang. No. 1 everywhere. [Now] it and she have disappeared.” Beyonce dropped Cowboy Carter on March 29, 2024. It debuted at the top spot on the US Billboard 200 and several other global charts.

In addition to the controversy surrounding the video with Cassie, Diddy is under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, which raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami, earlier this year. Be on the lookout for further updates on Beyonce and JAY-Z as well as Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Ayesha Curry Reflects On 2019 “Red Table Talk” Interview, Says She Took Unflattering Editing “Personally”

by

Jada Pinkett Smith’s successful Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk came to an unexpected end earlier this year after the social media platform cancelled all of its programming. Reactions to the news were mixed, with some expressing sadness over no more interviews from The Matrix actress and their favourite celebrities while others, such as Nick Cannon, suggested that the Will Smith and Chris Rock beef at the 2022 Oscars may have had something to do with it. Regardless, it certainly won’t be the last we’ll see of Jada on our screens, though some past guests aren’t hesitating to shade her years after their own sit-down on the show.

Ayesha Curry, for one, had plenty to say during her recent interview with Insider. The basketball wife is the cover star of the publication’s latest digital issue, and she made it clear that she’s not as insecure or “crazy” as editing on the internet show made her sound. “Stephen is very nice by nature and he’s very talkative,” the fashionista said of her NBA star husband at the time. “Everything is always very friendly and sometimes to the point where I’m like, I’m a grown woman so I’ll just insert myself. I’ll be like, ‘Hello. How are you doing?’”

“The ladies will always be lurking, hoping for their moment and waiting. But for me, I honestly hate it,” Curry further added. Looking back on the moment now, the 34-year-old asserted, “It’s not what I said, and the context was weird. Yeah. I took that one personally.”

Elsewhere in her conversation with Insider, Ayesha discusses her decision to begin therapy following the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as stepping away from the spotlight. Rather than acting and making public appearances, she’s now been pouring into charity work and entrepreneurship. Her lifestyle company, Sweet July, aims to uplift fellow Black and women-owned small businesses.
