Ari Lennox Looks Radiant In New “Liquor” Music Video With Babyface
Prior to heading out on her highly anticipated age/sex/location tour, Ari Lennox gave her fans a treat in the form of her “Waste My Time” music video. The must-hear track previously made its debut on her sophomore album. We have to admit, it’s been stuck in our heads ever since. As she performs all across the country over the next few weeks, the R&B starlet’s surprises keep coming.
On Monday (February 27), yet another visual landed from Lennox. This one brings her recent collaboration with Babyface, “Liquor” to life in a big way. The producer plays the role of a bartender, and the vocalist channels a glamorous patron of his bar. The song first arrived on his Girls Night Out project last year and quickly became a favourite amongst listeners.
Ari’s Vocals Amaze Fans on Tour
“I wanna feel like I’m wasted, from the lips that I tasted / I want our love to be agin’ with time,” the Dreamville artist’s sultry lyrics set the tone of the first verse. “More vintage than wine, so smooth / I like it rough around the edges, picture perfect with no edits,” she continues to croon. On the chorus, both Lennox and Babyface’s beautiful voices come together to create a stunning soundscape. They specifically sing about taking two shots of “Liquor” with no chaser over the groovy beat.
It’s been several months since Girls Night Out first landed on DSPs, but Babyface recently kept the hype around the record going with the arrival of the extended edition. All 13 original titles remain on the tracklist, which boasts guest features from the likes of Muni Long, Doechii, and Sevyn Streeter. Additionally, he’s added two new songs – “Sometimes” with Jenevieve and “If You Knew How” with BJRNCK.

Rihanna And Her Son Arrive To Milan Fashion Week
Celebs have been frolicking to Milan for their ever-anticipated Fall/Winter 2023/24 Fashion Week, including Coi Leray and A$AP Rocky. Another notable attendee is slated Oscar performer Rihanna, who arrived on Thursday (Feb. 23) with her son in tow. The new mom was spotted in the Italian city as she hopped off her private jet at Malpensa Airport. Paparazzi immediately took to her little boy, who Rih and father A$AP Rocky recently revealed in their British Vogue cover story.
Clad in all-black, the soon-to-be mother of two breezed through the airport cradling her son, dressed in a brown teddy. This is his first-ever public appearance, with surely more to follow as they trip overseas. After the release of her Vogue issue, Rih Rih posted photos of the chunky-cheeked baby on her Instagram page to the joy of all. She even sparked outrage with the images after proclaiming “My boy is so fine!” in one of the captions. His actual name, however, has yet to be revealed, to the dismay of fans and spectators alike.
Rihanna & Her Nine-Month-Old Spotted In Milan, Italy
The Barbadian beauty seemingly revealed her latest pregnancy during her unforgettable Super Bowl LVII Halftime performance earlier this month. Moments after, reps for the star went on to confirm the exciting news. Rihanna—who recently celebrated her 35th birthday—reportedly began dating A$AP Rocky in 2020. The two are rumored to be planning their wedding, with the ceremony being held in her home country. “Throwing a wedding and having another baby are Rihanna’s main focus at the moment,” sources told RadarOnline.
Rihanna fans were in disarray in regards to the pregnancy news, with many believing she’ll now be giving up music completely. However, fans of the “Lift Me Up” singer will be delighted to hear she plans to release an album sooner than later. In Vogue, Rih tells the writer “it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.” Further in the article, she adds that she was waiting for the right time to drop but later decided against her initial thought. It has now been over seven years since Rihanna’s last full-length offering, her eighth studio album ANTI.

Chris Brown Shares “Psychic” Music Video Featuring Jack Harlow
Chris Brown has shared a music video for his song, “Psychic,” featuring Jack Harlow and starring Cassie. The piece was directed by Cameron Dean and sees Brown in a futuristic city. Brown teased working with Cassie on the video in a post on Instagram, earlier this week. “Psychic” was featured on the tracklist for Brown’s 2022 album, Breezy. The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200.
The release comes as Brown continues his ongoing Under The Influence headlining tour. He’s got stops planned at London’s renowned O2 Arena, Paris’ Accor Arena, and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, among others. At one of Brown’s recent stops at the 3Arena in Dublin, he welcomed a fan on stage to perform a lap dance for them while he sang “Take You Down” from his 2007 album, Exclusive. “DUBLIN WAS AMAZING! Love y’all,” he wrote on Instagram after the show.
Chris Brown’s “Psychic” Video
Headlines haven’t been all positive for Brown in recent days. Last week, he went back and forth with Kiely Williams of the Cheetah Girls. Williams brought up his history of abuse allegations in response to the announcement that he’s working with Chlöe Bailey on a song that’s releasing later this week. “Let him come out with his own record—so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN. He can’t so he wont. So what does he do?” she wrote when quote-tweeting Bailey. “He slowly creeps back into the mainstream by getting small nods for features on Black Women’s merit. Black women who are more talented, more worthy, but give him the okay.”
Brown fired back on his Instagram Story, seemingly referencing his infamous assault of Rihanna. “If y’all still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17-year-old please kiss my whole entire a–,” Brown wrote. “I’m fucking 33. I’m so tired of y’all running with this narrative… you weird ass n****s are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the fuck out each other in front of the world. But that’s ok? It’s entertainment? All y’all can suck my dick disrespectfully.”
