Usher Teases “GLU” Single & Music Video Starring Lori Harvey
New releases from Usher have been a rarity in recent years. Thankfully, today (February 14), the R&B star let his fans know that he’s back. In a teaser shared on various social media platforms, he previewed an upcoming release called “GLU.” While the song has undeniably caught our attention, excitement is also swirling because the singer tapped a famous beauty to star in the accompanying visual.
Presently, the Texas native is preparing for his return to Sin City. After taking some time off to rest and recharge, he’ll be performing for audiences at his Las Vegas residence once again later this month. Audiences have been loving the show Usher previously put together. However, it’s practically guaranteed that he’ll be bringing new material with him this time around. While teasing the new arrival to followers on TikTok, he wrote, “You’ll thank me later. GLU. #SlowJams #Black Music.”
As sultry sounding as ever, the 44-year-old sings, “I just love that glue / It gets all on you / All on me” in the teaser. While his beautiful voice rings out, Lori Harvey appears on screen, her perfectly sculpted figure shown from various angles. As the brief video comes to an end, we briefly see the model’s face. Her hair is styled in a short, blunt bob, and her makeup looks on point as always.
Ty Dolla $ign and La La Anthony are both looking forward to the release, according to Usher’s Instagram comment section. Several followers are rejoicing as well, leaving replies like “Stop playing with the King of R&B” and “Lawd, I ran to Apple Music so fast. Where is the rest? Stop teasing us.”
Lovers of the multi-talent have been desperately waiting for news of new music from him. Last year, he spoke with PEOPLE about his future career plans, teasing, “In COVID, while we have been in quarantine, my ideas changed. I actually learned new things. I was able to really be reflective and find out what things matter and really have some true, honest, deep conversations with people and myself, to take some ownership of some of where my life has gone and some of the things that I’ve come through.”
As for Harvey, she’s mostly been waking waves due to her romantic relationship with Snowfall‘s Damson Idris. The two went public recently, and have been regularly spotted out and about together since. Read more about the young lovers here, and check back later for updates on Usher’s upcoming single.
French Montana & 2Rare Turn Up Gaucho’s South Bronx Gym In “RATATAAAAA” Music Video
French Montana previously began the year on a high note with the arrival of his previously delayed Coke Boys 6 project. Across 20 titles, the “Unforgettable” artist collaborated with names like Vory, Jeremih, Benny The Butcher, and EST Gee, just to name a few. Fans were obviously hyped to have new music from Montega, though the hype didn’t last long before tragedy struck.
A few days after the Gangsta Grillz tape landed, a shooting broke out during one of French’s music video shoots in Miami. The 38-year-old thankfully wasn’t harmed, however, his bodyguard and fellow rapper Rob49 weren’t so lucky. Both have since recovered from their injuries, though police have since tried to pin the incident on Montana.
Despite the drama, the Morocco-born rhymer continues to put his music first. Following the arrival of CB6 last month, he returned this Friday (February 10) with an amped-up club anthem called “RATATAAAA.” Montana made the track in tandem with 2Rare, who’s best known for working with NLE Choppa on last October’s “Do It Again.”
The song’s lyrics are mostly repetitive, but it’s the beat behind them that really shines. “Bitch, I’m him, bitch, I’m him, pretty faces if they slim / Bitch, I’m flexin’, need no gym, bitch, I’m ballin’, need no rim,” the “Mopstick” artist raps. In the accompanying visual, he and 2Rare markedly bring their energy to Gaucho’s Gym in the South Bronx along with plenty of friends.
Stream French Montana and 2Rare’s club anthem, “RATATAAAAA” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on the new single in the comments. Additionally, you can find more release recommendations on our Fire Emoji playlist tomorrow (February 11).
Quotable Lyrics:
Bitch, I’m him, bitch, I’m him, pretty faces if they slim
Bitch, I’m flexin’, need no gym, bitch, I’m ballin’, need no rim
I’m viral, need no film, need that B, I don’t need no Ms
That ass fat when she CashApp, duck your iPhone screen, I tap that, haan

Kevin Gates & Wife Dreka Share BTS Of “Breakfast” Music Video Shoot
Kevin Gates recently shared some behind the scenes clips with his wife Dreka from a shoot for an upcoming music video. While they teased it previously with some clips of the video itself, these clips are much more wholesome. For example, they show both their excitement over the video shoot and displayed how much fun they had. Moreover, the first video they shared portrayed them reviewing some footage. Following a particular moment (a shot? A transition? We don’t know), the Louisiana rapper exclaimed excitedly. “Oh my God!” he screamed at the unknown footage.
Furthermore, other clips included a conversation in what looks like a trailer and waiting in between takes out in the snow. Also, as they cycle through the clips, a short snippet of the song plays in the background. However, previous teases of the song gave a glimpse as to the shoot’s results. Moreover, both posted a teaser on Instagram showing a snowy estate and Kevin cooking Dreka… well, breakfast. “Who..I mean..what do you like for #Breakfast,” she captioned her post.
Meanwhile, the “2 Phones” MC recently spoke on Kobe Bryant’s death and how he felt something was wrong the day he passed. Also, he spit a mini-freestyle in the middle of his tale, which some people raised an eyebrow at. “The crash site [was] seven minutes from my house,” he remarked. “Rest In Peace the Black Mamba. This here going to Virginia, got a hundred keys in a black Honda. All of this was going on at the time. My nana came in. I told my tattoo artist- remember I told you? I said, ‘Man, I don’t feel like we should leave the house today. We just need to stay in today.’ She came right to the house. I hate to even say this, but that’s what happened. She came in the house and was like, ‘They say Kobe just had a helicopter crash.’”
“So you said ‘We shouldn’t leave the house before?” Big Boy asked Gates during the interview. “Before that s**t happened,” Gates replied. “That s**t happened seven minutes from my house. Like, weird s**t like that always be happening to me.” Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the release of the “Breakfast” music video, check out the BTS clips below, and come back for the latest on Kevin and Dreka Gates.
Dreka Gates Teases PDA-Filled “Breakfast” Music Video With Kevin Gates
Beginning February with a bang, Kevin Gates surprised his fans on the first of this month by sharing his 2013 project, THE LUCA BRASI STORY on DSPs. The 22-track effort boasts popular titles like “IDGAF,” “IHOP,” and “Narco Trafficante” featuring Percy Keith. Additionally, friends like Master P, Curren$y, and Terrance Hines came through to assist the rap star.
Aside from that the last release we got from the father of two was last November’s FYP EP. However, on Sunday (February 5), his wife Dreka hinted that Kevin is cooking something up for listeners. On her Instagram page, the businesswoman posted a teaser for a new video single called “Breakfast,” and it looks seriously tasty, to say the least.
“Who…I mean… What do you like for #Breakfast?” Dreka asked followers in the caption. The visual begins with a landscape shot of snowy mountains and trees as the “Really Really” rapper’s name flashes across the screen. A white SUV eventually enters the frame, and after more scenic B-roll, we watch Kevin help his partner out of the passenger side.
She smiles ear to ear as he looks at her with adoration. Before you know it, the camera takes us into the kitchen, where the Gates family patriarch is shirtless and chefing up some food. After preparing a plate, he walks it over to Dreka, who sits patiently waiting on the couch in black lingerie.
The couple shares a sweet kiss, which cuts to footage of Kevin rapping the upcoming release out in the snow. No premiere date came along with the teaser video, but it’s been receiving plenty of love from friends and fans so far. “Love y’all together and ion even know y’all lol,” author Porsha Guobadia wrote.
“Yes girl he’s always gonna come back home,” and “The manager and wife. Y’all need to stay out of these folk’s business,” others wrote. “Listennnn, Dreka, if you with it! I’m with it,” someone else, still, teased the 36-year-old.
While rumours of their separation rocked the internet early last summer, many curious fans began digging into the couple’s history. When Kevin’s career was first taking off, Dreka’s role included DJing his shows and handing out his CDs to strangers. She remained loyal through various ups and downs over the years, leaving many shocked when they seemingly split in 2022.
Though she loves her husband dearly, the mother of two made it known that her own identity as a woman is important to her too. Besides appearing in his videos from time to time, Gates also has various pursuits of her own on the go. Read more about her career path here, and check back later for more hip-hop news.
