Chrissy Teigen Jokes That John Legend’s ‘Splash’ Will Have Ben Shapiro Calling For ‘WAP Doctors Again’

by

As the rollout for John Legend’s upcoming eighth studio album Legend continues, his latest single, the sexually suggestive “Splash” featuring Jhene Aiko and Ty Dolla Sign, is getting plenty of attention for its ribald references to wet and wild indoor sports. When one fan tweeted about the effect she expected the song to have on listeners, Legend’s biggest supporter, his wife Chrissy Teigen, noted the reaction and took the opportunity to compare it to another recent hit about the virtues of, well, sexy swimming without the pool.

“it is very dirty and not for the children!” Chrissy joked. “ben shapiro gonna call for WAP doctors again.” Obviously, her joke is a reference to the conservative commentator’s pearl-clutching reaction to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s song “WAP,” which saw him read the lyrics line-by-line in that whiny voice of his. Rather than having the desired effect of outraging anyone who’s ever actually enjoyed the practice of procreation, Shapiro’s performative prudishness spawned rather a lot of hilarious memes from people dunking on him.

Listen, if this one sends Shapiro running for the recording booth, he’s really not built for the rest of Legend so far. It might be John’s raciest album yet, judging from singles like “Dope,” “Honey,” and “All She Wanna Do.” Between these songs and the fact that the Legends are expecting their third child, Legend is shaping up to be a funk-filled snapshot of all the couple’s lascivious quarantine activities.

Tyga, Jhene Aiko, and Pop Smoke Enjoy Summer Love On The Vibrant New Record ‘Sunshine’

by

There’s nothing like a summertime record that fuses that sun’s rays with a classic sample. Tyga, Jhene Aiko and the late Pop Smoke link up for “Sunshine,” which samples Lil’ Flip and Lea’s record of the same name. Aiko handles the hook while Tyga and Pop bring the affectionate raps in their own special way. They do the sample justice with their modern take on a classic record.

“Sunshine” follows a slew of Tyga singles in 2022, namely “Freaky Deaky” with Doja Cat, “Lifetime,” “Sheikh Talk,” and “Run” alongside YG, 21 Savage, and BIA. Tyga also released “Ay Caramba” this year and caught flack from the Mexican-American community for what they deemed racist depictions of their culture. The “Rack City” rapper has since apologized and clarified he did mean any harm.

This is the first time these three have collaborated as a trio, though Tyga and Pop Smoke previously worked on “West Coast Sh*t” from Pop Smoke’s 2020 album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. The Brooklyn drill rapper followed up the previous year with Faith, meanwhile, Aiko has been on a hiatus of sorts since her Grammy-nominated 2020 album Chilombo. In the interim, she uploaded her classic mixtape Sailing Soul(s) to DSPs in March of 2021.
