Kendall Jenner Posts Topless & Lingerie Thirst Traps

by

Kendall Jenner just posted a couple of topless and lingerie-clad thirst traps on her Instagram page. While pretty much any post from the Kardashian clan turns heads, Kendall kept it short and sweet. Moreover, she posted some selfie videos of her in a dim-lit room. In fact, some of the videos recorded the camera’s brightness setting (that little square that pops up when you tap the camera screen). It’s an unorthodox aesthetic, but if anything, it grounds the model’s post in an everyday situation.

For as much praise people gave her in the comments, though, other users were recently not as receptive. Furthermore, Jenner made headlines a few weeks ago for pictures that came out of her and a colleague. In the snagged pics, her assistant held her umbrella for her during a rainstorm. The bodyguard stood in the rain as Kendall walked dry in a blue hoodie. While a lot of people criticized her for the display, many also pointed out that this is his job. If he doesn’t mind a rainstorm for a check, many questioned, why should we be angry for him?

Regardless, many voiced how they think they would react in that situation. “I don’t care how rich I am but I would feel so bad letting someone hold my umbrella for me while they are getting soaked,” one social media user expressed. ““Agreed! Plus it would be a bit awkward? You would stay [drier] just holding it yourself…” another responded. Also, people tried to look past their own reasons for not wanting to hold an umbrella. “Yes! I was just thinking how I couldn’t allow someone to hold an umbrella for me because I’m too lazy to hold it myself.”

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old recently stunned at Beyoncé’s private show in Dubai. Alongside other famous names like Nia Long and Chloe X Halle, she attended the performance in style and wore a gold-detailed brown dress.

Tinashe Goes Topless On The Beach For 30th Birthday

by

For nearly two decades, Tinashe’s been grinding through the entertainment industry. It began when she appeared in Polar Express with Tom Hanks in 2004. Since then, she had brief stints as a member of a girl group, expanded into her solo career, and later took off as a celebrated artist in her own life. However, she’s continued to prove that she’s one of the hardest-working women in the music industry since then, especially after embarking on a journey as an independent artist.

Though she’s two years removed from her last studio album, 333, she’s continued on a relentless grind in the past year. She joined Flume on tour and delivered several records throughout the year, including the deluxe edition of her 2021 project. Then, she joined Snakehips on “Who’s Gonna Love You” after linking up with Calvin Harris and Offset on “New To You.” Needless to say, she’s been working hard and certainly deserves to celebrate the fruits of her label.

Happy Birthday, Tinashe!

Tinashe caught everyone’s attention this week when she celebrated her birthday on February 6th. The singer reached a huge milestone as she officially turned 30 years old. The singer dropped a spicy picture of herself on a beach with her hands covering her bare breasts. Tinashe’s rocking a neon green bikini bottom and matching sunglasses as she grins from ear to ear. Elsewhere, Tinashe highlighted her birthday dinner, a pic with her family and friends, and a hilarious clip where she’s performing karaoke. 

The timeline undoubtedly appreciated the thirst trap-esque post. She captioned the post, “Dirty, flirty and thriving,” along with a blue heart emoji and a birthday cake. Moreover, there are plenty of individuals who appreciate her. Rubi Rose, Kaytranada, and Jojo slid in the comments to wish her a happy birthday. Meanwhile, Hitmaka hinted that the two have some music sitting in the vault, writing, “Hbd Nashe. Let’s give ‘em what they want.” At 30, Tinashe’s undoubtedly accomplished more than most would in their lifetimes and looks great at the same time. Check out Tinashe’s birthday post above and let us know your favorite Tinashe song in the comment section below.

Rob49 Returns To IG With Injuries From French Montana Video Shooting

by

Rob49 has resurfaced on Instagram with new pictures featuring the injuries he sustained during the recent shooting on set at a music video for French Montana. The post comes after several weeks of radio silence from the rapper, which left fans concerned about his health. “U JUMPIN INAT WATER N***A U JUST LIKE ME. BIGGEST VULTURE,” he captioned the post. The shooting occurred back in early January.

Rob49 first confirmed that he was okay in a statement on social media, earlier this week. At the time, he also announced new music. “Thank You To Everybody Who Been Keeping Me In Dey Prayers, I Want Let Yall Kno I Been Doing Way Better & Thank God For Reminding Me Tah Live Everyday Like It’s My Last! What That Being Said Let’s FLOOD And Take OVA!! BIGGEST VULTURE,” he wrote.

Rob49’s Instagram Post

Rob was just one of 10 people injured on the set of French Montana‘s music video. The shooting took place outside The Licking restaurant in Miami Gardens, which is reportedly co-owned by DJ Khaled. C.E.D. Mogul was also present at the time of the shooting but made it out unscathed. He recounted the incident to FOX8 afterward. “[He asked to] call his mother and see if we can get spare car keys and make sure, you know, he’s OK, and then the gunshots went off,” Mogul told the outlet, before adding, “At least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle.”

French Montana shared a statement in the wake of the attack. “Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant,” he wrote on Twitter. “We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time.” In the days after the shooting, one of the victims threatened Montana with legal action. The man’s attorney, Josiah Graham, claimed that “there was no permit issued by the Miami Gardens Police Department for any type of authorized rap video.”

Iggy Azalea Vacations On A Yacht In Latest Post

by

Iggy Azalea is currently vacationing on a yacht, sharing pictures from her trip on her social media pages. In her latest update, Azalea can be seen laying out in the sun while wearing a bikini. She tagged the Exuma Islands in The Bahamas as her location for the post. In a further post on her Instagram Story, Azalea shared a picture of herself swimming in the water. “A shark in the water how you found me,” she captioned the image. In other posts, she trolled her haters by writing, “Falling off never looked so good.” The vacation comes as Azalea has begun posting on OnlyFans in preparation for her fourth studio album.

Azalea has labeled the OnlyFans multimedia project as Hotter Than Hell. It features exclusive photos, videos, music, illustrations, and poetry from the Australian artist. It will run through December 2023 and cost fans $25 per month for access. Azalea is expected to release her untitled fourth studio album in the summer of 2023. She’s yet to reveal more information about the music.

Iggy Azalea’s Latest Post

Despite her newest venture, Azalea was once hesitant about hopping on OnlyFans. She even previously criticized other creators for using the platform. Of this alleged hypocrisy, she’s explained that she has since changed her stance on OnlyFans. Azalea says OnlyFans allows her to avoid the “overwhelming and creatively limiting censorship” of other digital platforms. She explained her decision-making in a statement provided to Variety when she launched the page, last month.

“Admittedly, I never knew OnlyFans was a place where I could be creative, so I didn’t expect to be collaborating with them on my biggest project to date!” Azalea told the outlet. “Once I looked beyond the surface-level chatter about what it means to have an OnlyFans, I realized it was the perfect platform to launch a multimedia concept on. I feel excited about not having to worry about the overwhelming and creatively limiting censorship artists have to navigate when sharing work on other digital platforms. The project is bold and fun — so is this collaboration — I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people.”

Madonna Claps Back at Instagram Bullying of Her Appearance

After presenting at this year’s Grammy Awards on Sunday night, Madonna was met with an influx of criticism regarding her appearance. In her latest Instagram post, discussing a close-up photo of her face that went viral online, the multi-award-winning singer protested that she was “caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.”

The photograph was captured while Madonna was introducing Kim Petras and Sam Smith’s performance of “Unholy.” In Madonna’s words it was a “history making moment,” adding: “Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim — many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face!”

Comments flooded in beneath Madonna’s post calling her scary, unrecognizable and denouncing her supposed “obsession with plastic surgery.” Still, the singer has never actually publicly addressed rumors of cosmetic enhancements. In response, Madonna clapped back saying that the internet realm, specifically Instagram, “refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45.”

Public opinion on appearance comes with the job, so this is certainly not Madonna’s first rodeo. However,  this opens up a much deeper conversation on the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by social media platforms. Instagram showcases the highlight reel of user’s lives and the culture of the platform leaves little room for reality– even the natural aging process. 

Controversial commentary surrounding the aesthetic of her looks is not foreign territory for Madonna. “I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start,” she wrote in the post. “I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.”

Snoop Dogg Calls Out Grammys For Lack Of Recognition

by

Snoop Dogg called out the Recording Academy on Instagram, Monday, for his lack of success at the Grammys. He shared a list of the rappers with the five most wins: Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Pharrell. He then complained about having yet to win a single Grammy.

“Snoop dogg. 20 nominations. 0 wins,” Snoop captioned the list. Snoop currently holds the most nominations for a winless rapper. Other artists in the same boat include 2Pac, Biggie, Nicki Minaj, DMX, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, and Pusha T. Snoop has received nominations for Album of the Year twice. Once came for his contributions to Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly. Another came for his work on Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream. His 2014 album, Reincarnated, was also up for Best Reggae Album.

Despite being the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammys history, Jay-Z has had plenty of issues with the Recording Academy over the years. He even dissed the Grammys on his and Beyoncé‘s Everything Is Love track, “Apeshit.” He rapped, “Tell the Grammy’s fuck that 0 for eight shit.” His album 4:44 had just gone winless at the Grammys. Jay-Z reflected on the Grammys‘ problems during an interview for Tidal on Monday. He also discussed his reaction to Beyoncé losing Album of the Year.

“The truth is, we grew up wanting to be on the Grammys, and it was our goal. We just want them to get it right. That’s what we want. Obviously it’s music and it’s all subjective, but you got to be in the ballpark. That’s all we want. We just want them to get it right because we love it so much,” he said. “For the culture, I love this shit so much I want them to get it right. I want to experience those moments when it’s the culmination of when Michael popped off. That moment left an indelible mark on us forever.” Check out Snoop Dogg’s post on Instagram tomorrow.

50 Cent Calls Himself, Eminem, & Dr. Dre The “3 Headed Monster”

by

50 Cent says that he, Eminem, and Dr. Dre are the “3 headed monster.” The legendary New York rapper reflected on his relationship with his longtime collaborators on Instagram, Tuesday. In doing so, he shared a clip of all three of them during an interview on MTV from the early 2000s.

“When you have a team like this it’s hard to lose,” 50 Cent wrote in the post. “I’m so blessed to have worked with the best ever. you can re-write a book, you can re -write a song but you can’t re-write history. The 3 headed monster EM, DRE and 50cent. Boom.”

In the clip shared by 50, Dr. Dre praises 50’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’, while they filmed the “In Da Club” video. “50’s album, in my opinion, is going to compete with all the classic Hip Hop records that have come out over the last 10 years — Illmatic, The Chronic, Ready to Die, The Marshall Mathers LP — it’s right up there,” Dre said in the clip. “And that’s no bullshit … It’s hot!.” Dre produced several tracks for his project, including “In Da Club,” “If I Can’t” and “Back Down,” while Eminem appeared on “Patiently Waiting” and “Don’t Push Me.”

The post comes after the 20th anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin’. 50 celebrated the milestone on Instagram on Monday. “They can try not to remember because I made it uncomfortable but they can’t re write history,” 50 wrote. “20th year anniversary Get Rich Or Die Tryin. Boom.”

In addition to “In Da Club,” Get Rich or Die Tryin’ also featured the hit singles “21 Questions” and “P.I.M.P.” The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 while selling 872,000 copies in its first week. It later finished as the best-selling project of 2003 and launched 50 into mainstream stardom. In the years since, the Recording Industry Association of America has certified it 9x platinum. Check out 50 Cent’s Instagram post featuring Dr. Dre and Eminem below.

SZA Reflects On Having A “Great Time” At 2023 Grammys

by

SZA says that her trip to the 2023 Grammy Awards was her first “great time” at an awards show. The “Kill Bill” singer explained that this was likely due to the fact that she wasn’t competing for anything. In the past, the Recording Academy nominated her 2017 debut, Ctrl, for four awards, while also putting her up individually for Best New Artist.

“Last night was the first time I had a great time at an award show!” SZA captioned a photo of herself from the event. “(Prolly cause I ain’t have to do shit but cheer my friends on + announce ppl I Stan lmao ) my team also surprised me w a GANG OF PLATINUM and gold plaques for SOS can’t believe the album is already eligible for double platinum. LOVE TO EVERYBODY THAT GOT ME HERE AND CONTINUES TO LIFT ME UP. I love you.”

Several other artists commented on SZA’s post, including Chloe Bailey, who wrote: “you’re so damn beautiful proud of you my love.” Ice Spice and La La Anthony also chimed in with emojis.

While SZA had nothing to worry about on Sunday night, the same likely won’t be said for next year. Her latest album, SOS, released back on December 9, 2022, missing the window for the 2023 Grammys. However, its reached historic levels of success on the Billboard 200. The album recently spent its seventh week at No. 1, a feat SZA celebrated on Instagram. “7 weeks at #1 is more than I ever imagined,” she captioned the post. “I’m jus tryna do something worth something w my time in the sun. Thank you God. Thank you everyone.” SZA is now just the third female artist since 2000 to have an album spend seven weeks at the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200. The other two artists are Adele and Taylor Swift. SOS is also the first album in history to keep 10 songs on the Hot 100 singles chart for seven consecutive weeks. Check out SZA’s post regarding the 2023 Grammy Awards below.
