Rihanna & Baby Fenty Hit Up Louis Vuitton For A Paris Shopping Spree

by

If there’s anyone in full mommy mode right now, it would have to be Rihanna. The singer and her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, happily shocked the world with an announcement of her first pregnancy in January 2022. Their big news was followed by plenty of historic “Fashion Killa” moments, as well as the reveal of their second baby during her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime show. It remains unclear exactly how far along the Bad Gal is at this point, or whether she’ll be having a boy or girl. However, she certainly hasn’t been shy about showing off her budding belly during her ongoing vacation in Paris.

Rocky and Rih first flew to the city earlier this month along with their son, known to the world as Baby Fenty. One of their initial stops was at Jay-Z’s performance in tandem with Louis Vuitton to celebrate Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Since then, fans and paparazzi have captured photos and videos of the Testing rapper filming a music video in Paris, while his girlfriend has been dining at fine restaurants and dropping bags at stores like Louis Vuitton.

Rihanna and Her Son Shop Till They Drop

On Friday (April 21), the 35-year-old and her firstborn stylishly stepped out to get their shop on. While Rihanna donned mid-wash jeans, a cropped multi-colour sweater, and a windbreaker to match, her little boy sat comfortably in her arm, rocking a Raiders bomber jacket over a grey sweatsuit. Even with a baby in her stomach and one to carry, the fashionista still opted to wear a pair of strappy heels, also carrying a monogrammed LV bag for her trip to the designer shop.

It remains unclear exactly what the “Rude Boy” hitmaker spent her money on, though cameras did catch her leaving the store with some new goodies in hand. Since announcing she’s with child once again, some of the best maternity looks we’ve seen from Rihanna have come from this trip to Paris.

Keke Palmer Dances With 5-Week-Old Son Leodis: “I Love Hanging With You”

by

If there’s anyone we’ve seen tackle the daunting task of motherhood with grace this year, it’s undoubtedly Keke Palmer. Since giving birth to baby Leodis Andrellton just five weeks ago, the actress has been open and honest about her journey on social media, admitting on at least one occasion that she was getting “cooked” by the job. While it was certainly an adjustment for her and her boyfriend Darius Jackson, they’ve passed every test so far with flying colours, and from the look of Palmer’s latest Instagram post, she’s becoming more comfortable each and every day.

On Sunday (April 2), the 29-year-old shared a heartwarming video of her and little Leo dancing at home, the infant sporting an adorable but hilarious expression on his tiny face. “And to think! Just last April Fools I ‘joked’ about being preggers,” Palmer reflected in her caption. “We manifested you, little buddy! I love hanging with you and you just be looking crazy like a caveman 🤣😍😘.”

Keke Palmer and Her Baby Boy Are Loving Life

Based upon his cute but funny face, Palmer is obviously under the impression that her son is “already tired of [her].” However, as someone in the comments pointed out, “That baby is gonna wake up one day and realize that Keke Palmer is his mother 😭,” which will surely be enough for Leo to forgive the Hustlers starlet for any embarrassing videos she posted in his first few months of life. Fellow industry icon Skai Jackson later dropped by the replies to share her thoughts, writing, “He said, ‘side EYE’ 😂😭. He’s sick and tired.”

Aside from her latest post, the Chicago-born entertainer shared a sweet photo dump in late March of her taking a walk with her little one in a stroller. “Mommy’ing is coming along if you were looking for an update. I have juggled quite a few careers but this is my greatest gig of all,” Keke Palmer wrote at the time, giving fans yet another positive update on her life.

Blueface’s Mom Is “The Most Toxic One” In His Relationship With Chrisean Rock, He Says

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are arguably one of the most well-known couples in hip-hop, but that doesn’t mean they’ve come anywhere close to achieving the title of “couple goals.” Rather, the pair have given the world a clear definition of what a toxic relationship is, even allowing theirs to play out in front of the cameras on Zeus’ Crazy In Love reality series. We’ve seen them get physical with each other, as well as different family members, and publicly bicker and beef about practically every topic under the Sun. Still, though, they end up continuously pulled back together, especially now that the 23-year-old is allegedly pregnant with her co-star’s baby.

Rock announced her pregnancy at the beginning of 2023, and we’ve seen witnessed her and Blueface go back and forth in their usual tumultuous nature. While he first denied paternity of the unborn child, he’s more recently been defending his second baby mama after she was caught consuming cannabis earlier this month. “Lots of women smoke weed until their last trimester there is no effect don’t shoot the messenger,” he wrote on Wednesday (March 29). Immediately after the Californian added, “I’m only tweeting the truth, [whether] it’s in her favour or not. I’m not [biased].”

Blueface Publicly Disses His Mom

Following those posts, the 26-year-old took the opportunity to ask his Twitter followers for their opinion regarding his on-again-off-again romance. “Who [do] you guys think is the more toxic [one] in the relationship? Blueface, or Rock 🤔?” he posted yesterday afternoon. In the replies, many were quick to clown the embattled artist, writing, “If you gotta ask, n*gga it’s you,” and “You… Your music says it all,” among other snarky responses.

Blueface appears to be unphased by the haters so far, though he did return to let them know who he thinks is causing problems with him and Rock. “I think my momma is the most toxic one in the relationship [for real] 😂,” the expecting father tweeted. Since Chrisean first announced her pregnancy, her beau’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, has been notably vocal about her disdain for the situation.

Damson Idris Tells Jimmy Fallon What His Mom Thinks Of His Acting: Watch

by

Damson Idris is perhaps best known for his work on FX’s Snowfall, though he’s been hard at work on plenty of other projects as well lately. Among them is his budding romantic relationship with Lori Harvey, as well as Donald Glover’s Swarm. In the latter, the English actor reportedly appears in just one episode as a love interest to Chloe Bailey, who’s a series regular. She recently revealed that he was able to make her first experience filming a love scene much less awkward, and they even laughed together while a bouncy ball separated their bodies away from the cameras.

With the recent premiere of Snowfall‘s sixth season, as well as the upcoming Amazon Prime Video release, it was the perfect time for Idris to make an appearance on The Tonight Show and catch Jimmy Fallon up on his life. During their chat, the 31-year-old revealed what his mother thinks of his career, sharing that she sometimes has trouble separating his antics on-screen from his real life. “I’m Nigerian, right?” he told the audience last week.

Damson Idris Appears on “The Tonight Show”

“So my mum, she didn’t know that this wasn’t real. She thought everything was real, right? The first time I had an on-screen kiss she was like, ‘Ah ah! Damsy! How can you cheat on your girlfriend? In front of your family!’” Idris animatedly recalled to Fallon. “So then, I get Franklin Saint, right? He’s obviously a drug dealer. She’s like, ‘Ah ah! So now you are selling cocaine?! In front of the whole world!”

The story elicited plenty of laughter from not only the late-night host but also the audience. Afterward, Fallon brought out a photo of Idris with his mother and other family members at the Snowfall season six premiere, proving she’s obviously embraced his drug-dealing ways. See the heartwarming image for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture and hip-hop news updates.

Rihanna’s Son Looks Adorable In New Photos: “He Found Out His Sibling Is Going To The Oscars”

by

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show last month was everything fans expected. Many thought the 35-year-old would announce her long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s ANTI after her return to the stage. Instead, she shocked the world by revealing that she’s with child once again, less than a year after the birth of her and A$AP Rocky’s baby boy.

In the time since the NFL Championship, fans of the Bad Gal have been eagerly waiting for updates on her pregnancy, her son, and her music career. She’s been showing off her budding bump here and there in stylish outfits, and on Sunday (March 5), she gave an update on her little one who’s already Earthside, as well as her next big performance. As you may have heard, Rihanna will be performing her “Lift Me Up” song from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack at the upcoming Oscars, and her baby boy was less than pleased to find out he’s not invited.

Rihanna Shows Off Her Baby Boy

“My son when he found out his sibling is going to the Oscars and not him,” she wrote in her Instagram caption. In the first selection from her carousel, we see the little one pouting and shedding tears in his playpen while looking up at the camera. “Swipe for a tb of my fat man,” the Barbadian singer added, encouraging followers to look at more content of her family life. In the video, we see the baby, looking much younger, babbling as he watches Rihanna on the screen.

In the final photo, his chunky arm will certainly melt your heart as mother and son watch what appears to be the “Lift Me Up” music video together. Though we still haven’t found out his name, fans of the Fenty Beauty founder are more than happy to gush over the adorable photos she shares. As her second pregnancy continues, many are hoping we’ll see similar maternity serves to the bold ones Rihanna stepped out in last time she was with child.

Much like the last time she was expecting, RiRi has kept many details regarding her second child under wraps. Since she’s already welcomed a son, it’s been said (even by her father, Ronald Fenty), that she’s hoping for a girl this time around. Let us know if you’re excited about the “Desperado” singer’s Oscars performance in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cardi B’s Face Tattoo: Rapper Says She “Loves” Ink Dedicated To Her Son

by

As a Libra, no one knows balance quite like Cardi B. The New Yorker obviously got her start from stripping, and later went on to appear on Love & Hip-Hop, only further growing her fanbase. Her songs are best known for their explicit, salacious nature – think “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion – yet they still earned her a Grammy for her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. While she’s certainly established herself as a bad bitch and a force to be reckoned with in the industry, she’s also become a mother in recent years.

Bardi and Offset’s oldest, Kulture, was born in 2018. She’s frequently appeared alongside her famous parents since her birth, whether on Instagram or out and about at events. In 2021, she became a big sister following the arrival of little Wave Set Cephus, who’s already nothing short of a fashion killer at just one year old. The 30-year-old loves to dress her children in stylish outfits and show them off to the world, but to truly prove her love for her offspring, Cardi got both of their names tatted.

Welcome to the World, Wave Set Cephus

For her 4-year-old daughter, the former stripper spelled out “Kulture” across one of her arms. By the time Wave was born, Cardi was ready to make an even more serious commitment, getting the young boy’s moniker inked on her face, just above her jawline in red. “I tatted my son’s name because I love him,” she explained at the time.

It’s been several months since she first debuted the unique piece, and from the sounds of her latest tweet, she’s only grown more fond of it. “I love my face tatt,” the “Clout” artist wrote on Thursday (March 2). Along with the message, she shared a close-up screenshot of her and Offset’s McDonald’s campaign. As she gazes lovingly at her husband, Cardi’s side profile reveals “Wave” written in cursive. She’s clearly a big fan of her body art, however, not everyone who saw the post is in agreeance.

Twitter Reacts to Cardi B’s Face Tattoo

“Now Cardi! I’m coming at you like a mom/grandma!” one user cautioned the black-haired beauty. “You have a beautiful beautiful face! (I actually think the tat looks good) but NO MORE!!! Don’t mess with perfection boo!!! Imma huge fan!!!! Sending nothing but LOVE.” Elsewhere, others joked about where she could get tribute tattoos for future babies, and showed off interesting artwork of their own.

Michael B. Jordan Apologizes To His Mom For Nearly Nude Calvin Klein Photoshoot

by

It’s Michael B. Jordan’s world, we’re just living in it. In recent weeks, the Black Panther actor’s name has been making headlines thanks to various impressive efforts on his part. Just last month he exciting job of hosting on Saturday Night Live, and his opening monologue certainly didn’t disappoint. At the time, he addressed his breakup from Lori Harvey, which shocked fans of the couple in mid-2022.

Aside from that, the 36-year-old star is gearing up for his directorial debut, Creed III to hit theatres. The film is set to release on Friday (March 3), alongside a fire soundtrack executive produced by J. Cole and his Dreamville crew. For the past few days Jordan has been attending red carpets and giving interviews about his upcoming project, as well as the racy Calvin Klein photoshoot he just dropped.

Michael’s Mom Knows He’s Got It Going On

On Monday (February 27), a collection of black and white images showing the California native’s chisled body in various pairs of CK underwear made their debut. As expected, it wasn’t long before thirsty replies began pouring in, chiefly on Twitter. From propositioning the actor for sexual favours to admitting to excessively zooming in on the images, users didn’t hold back when revealing their freaky fantasies abut Jordan.

While chatting with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, the multi-talent admitted that he gave his mom, Donna Jordan, an apology before the NSFW images went public. “I was like, my mama gon’ have to see this. Let me call her and be like, ‘I’m sorry. It’s out here.’ My business all out in the streets — literally,” he joked. Regardless if his family matriarch approves or not, the reactions prove that Jordan is one step closer to beating those “corny” allegations.

Creed III is Around the Corner

The Creed III premiere is quickly approaching later this week, and ahead of that, Jordan has been hinting at the possibility of more projects to come in the “Creedverse.” Specifically, he mentioned the possibility of “a spin-off of the TV show, the animation or graphic novel, or a video game.” Read what else the director had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer Defends Her Son’s Name Against Internet Trolls

by

It feels like just yesterday that Keke Palmer shared the exciting news of her first pregnancy with the world. The Disney Channel alum was hosting Saturday Night Live at the time when she addressed the rumours circulating online claiming she’s with child. In the months after confirming her venture into motherhood, the actress also subtly revealed her baby’s gender on late-night TV, as well as some of her future plans for raising him.

On Monday (February 27), the Illinois-born entertainer revealed via Instagram that she’s given birth, making her and boyfriend Darius Jackson first-time parents. Palmer had plenty of fun photos and videos of them to share as they adjust to their new life, as well as the first look at the little one, who already has a full head of dark hair. “I’m not hiding the world from my son, I’m hiding my son from the world,” she joked in the caption, expertly quoting Drake.

Keke Joins the Boy Mom Club

Elsewhere in the same post, Palmer shared some heartwarming anecdotes about her man and baby. “Darius always made me playlists when we first started dating, ‘Someone’ by El Debarge was a favourite. We became each other’s someone and made a someone, look at God.” Immediately after, she let followers know that she and Jackson’s little one is a Rolling Ray fan, “’cause purrr.”

“Born during Black History Month, with a name to match,” her announcement post’s caption concluded. “LEODIS ANDRELLTON JACKSON, welcome to the world baby Leo.” Like many other celebrity infant names, this one is certainly unique, and not everyone has been taking kindly to it on social media.

Clapping Back at the Haters

Over on Twitter, reposts of Palmer’s exciting news have been appearing across the app. Many are happy to see the 29-year-old, who grew up alongside so many of us, starting a family with a man who makes her so happy. Others, of course, are hung up on the moniker she and Jackson crafted for the young boy. “That name sound like it led a civil rights March,” one user joked yesterday evening.

It wasn’t long before the multi-talent responded to the criticism with a comedic clap back. “It’s giving I marched with Martin, purrrr,” she expertly teased. Keep scrolling for more Twitter reactions to little Leodis’ arrival, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Rihanna On Her Son Wearing Pink & Florals: “Fluidity In Fashion Is Best”

by

Much like his parents, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s son is well on his way to becoming a “Fashion Killa.” The young one’s mother has been designing her own Fenty products and putting together show-stopping outfits for years. His father is also a well-known style icon and has never been one to shy away from mixing women’s clothing into his wardrobe. In fact, he even once described wearing pieces intended for the opposite sex as “punk.”

At the same time, the “Rude Boy” hitmaker’s looks – although often sexy in nature – incorporate masculine pieces like graphic tees, jerseys, and baggy pants frequently. Their little one is just 9 months old. Still, they’re already passing off everything they know about looking fly to him (talk about generational wealth!). During her recent interview with British Vogue, Rih was candid about her plans for dressing her baby.

“One of my favourite outfits he has is a miniature version of one of Rocky’s,” she explained. She was referencing a tartan kilt and ripped jeans that her partner previously wore on the cover of GQ. “I like to dress him in things that don’t look like baby clothes. I like to push it.”

When purchasing pieces for the baby, Rihanna doesn’t limit herself to the typical blue colour scheme for boys. “I put him in floral stuff, I put him in hot pink, I love that,” she gushed to the outlet. “I think that fluidity in fashion is best, I always shop in the men’s department, you know.”

Since she began sharing photos of him last December, Rihanna’s little one has been the talk of the town. Of course, we still don’t know his name. However, we are certain that he’ll make an excellent big brother in just a few months’ time. At this time, the only thing fans are more desperate for than updates on her offspring is information on her next album.

The 34-year-old hasn’t blessed our ears since 2016’s ANTI – apart from her recent work on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. It remains unclear exactly what RiRi has in store for her next project, or when we’ll see it land. She previously said it would be “ridiculous” for her not to drop in 2023, however, so chances are good we’ll be satisfied before the year is up.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky’s Son Has Had “A Few Names,” Her Father Ronald Fenty Reveals

by

As his daughter prepares to shine bright like a diamond on the Super Bowl Halftime show stage, Ronald Fenty couldn’t be more proud of Rihanna. The two have had an undeniably troubled relationship in the past. Now, however, they seem to have put their differences aside. Ahead of tomorrow’s big show, the singer’s father spoke with Page Six about the excitement brewing in the air.

“Everybody is saying that football is just opening up for her — it’s the Rihanna show,” the Barbadian joked. “It’s the moment that everybody has been waiting for.” As a father, he’s obviously biased, but he’s certainly not wrong. Everyone from Adele to H.E.R. has made it known that football will be taking a back seat to the mother of one’s performance.

Surprisingly, Fenty couldn’t get his hands on tickets to the Super Bowl. Still, that won’t stop him from showing his support for the ANTI hitmaker. He and two friends reportedly flew from Barbados to Las Vegas yesterday, where they picked up a Winnebago to rent. “The hotels are outrageous prices,” Rihanna’s dad said. “Oh my gosh, they’re like $1,600 a night!”

From Sin City, the proud papa and his crew will drive nearly five hours to Glendale, Arizona. The Bad Gal has reportedly been staying at a private home in Paradise Hills. She’s markedly been rehearsing non-stop for her highly anticipated return to the stage. In a press conference earlier this week, Rih teased that her show in 13 minutes of action that audiences will hopefully love.

Elsewhere in his chat with Page Six, Fenty spoke about his new role as a grandfather, revealing that his daughter is a “very overprotective mother.” The outlet made sure to ask him about the young boy‘s name, which his parents are keeping secret. It seems it’s going to stay that way, though Ronald did confirm that Rihanna has tried out “a few names,” but isn’t ready to share her choice just yet. “She’ll have my head if I tell you!” her dad joked.

Along with the Super Bowl show, it’s rumoured that the 34-year-old could be hitting the road for a worldwide tour soon. Nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, but the last time she hit the road was in 2016. Since then, the Navy has been desperately begging to hear more music from the new mother ASAP.

Of course, Rihanna hasn’t left the world without anything during her musical hiatus. She spends plenty of time working on Savage x Fenty, as well as her Fenty Beauty and Skin lines. Additionally, the multi-talent earned her first Oscar for one of the two songs she contributed to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
