Tinashe Unveils “Quantum Baby” On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream
Summer’s almost over, but that doesn’t mean our latest R&B Season playlist update is any less fiery. Moreover, we’re here once again to round up the best of the best releases in the genre that dropped this week. Up first is the new album from Tinashe, Quantum Baby, which marks the second part of the trilogy she started with BB/ANG3L. It’s a shorter project with only eight cuts, so you know that the all killer, no filler policy is very much in effect. If you’re looking for a taster to get a vibe of the LP, we’d recommend you check out the catchy and bouncy “No Broke Boys” for you to start your quantum journey.
Elsewhere on this R&B Season playlist update, we also have a new single from Fousheé to talk about, “war.” Ahead of her next project release, she’s been dropping a lot of material as of late, and her various directions have fans very excited for what’s to come. This time around, this song takes on more of a reggae inspiration with sharply strummed guitar chords and light vocal melodies. Overall, it’s a very chilled-out and easy-going record that balances out some of the bombastic energy of previous singles.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream
In addition, we also wanted to shout out this new track from Coco Jones, “Sweep It Up.” This is among the most classically R&B-sounding inclusions you’ll hear on this playlist update thanks to cavernous brass, a snap beat, and glittering percussive embellishments. Of course, Jones’ smooth and harmonious vocal performance also sets us right in the genre’s golden age. For all the hardcore fans out there, this is one of the sweetest and most lush singles you’ll find this week.
Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention Mary J. Blige and Fabolous’ latest collaboration, “Breathing.” The drums here are crisp, perfectly adding energy to the boisterous brass and Blige’s soaring vocals. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Also, check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

Tina Knowles Hilariously Realizes What Beyonce’s Song “Ego” Is Actually About
Tina Knowles has spent so much time with Beyonce’s catalog that one would probably expect her to know it as well as the back of her hand. But it turns out that there are still surprises in Queen Bey’s catalog that her mother is catching onto all these years later. Moreover, the recently divorced Knowles left an Instagram comment under a video of a podcast group listening to her daughter’s track “Ego,” which has lyrics such as “It’s too big, it’s too wide, it won’t fit.” As such, it seems like she never caught on to the song’s sexual innuendo, and expressed genuine shock and surprise at realizing the hidden meaning years after its release.
“Wow, !!!!!!!!” Tina Knowles’ message about Beyoncé’s cut “Ego” began. “I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego!!!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy!!!!!!! [three crying-laughing emojis]. I’m serious I really didn’t Know til now!!!!!! That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?” At least Knowles has other Bey songs to latch onto, such as when the Kamala Harris campaign used “Freedom” after Tina endorsed her for president of the United States.

Tina Knowles Admits That She Just Found Out What Beyoncé’s “Ego” Is Really About
As far as other retrospective perspectives from Tina Knowles about Beyoncé’s life and career, she recently expanded on how her daughter handled bullying in her childhood. She told Vogue that the Houston superstar actually didn’t defend herself at first, but started doing so after she stuck up for another person whom childhood bullies attacked. Of course, this idea sounds bizarre today: why in the world would Sasha Fierce have bullies? But we all have to start somewhere, and these old tales remind us of where and what we came from on our path to where we are now.
Also, Tina Knowles divulged on what advice Beyoncé gave her daughter Blue Ivy when it comes to dealing with haters, not bullies. “One of her friends came back and showed her some negative comments and it was a great life lesson,” she told Vogue‘s The Run Through podcast. “Because her mom basically said, ‘Listen, if you let this get you down, then they won. So you should go and work harder. And, you know, just work harder and get your skills together and go out there and blast it.’ So it actually worked in Blue’s favor because she was only supposed to do it one time. But now her mom was, that mama bear was on to it. It was like, she was like, ‘You go out there and kill it,’ and she did. She just grew so much from that experience.”

Doja Cat & Joseph Quinn Spark Dating Rumors
Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn have a pretty interesting history together, one that Noah Schnapp would recall with some reservations. Moreover, you may remember that Schnapp exposed Doja’s DMs to him asking him to set her up with his Stranger Things costar, Quinn. Well, it looks like two years after that whole debacle, she and Joseph might actually be an item. This gossip and speculation comes from multiple reports. One from Deuxmoi claims that the two went to the Osees’ Friday (August 16) show at Dingwalls in Camden, London and couldn’t keep their hands off one another according to the report.
On the other hand, another report from The Irish Sun photographed Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn apparently enjoying a drink together at a pub in London. While neither report truly makes it crystal clear that they’re dating, this is certainly enough for fans to mull over and theorize about. Many of them made note of her split from J.Cyrus, if they didn’t know about that controversial situation already. As such, take all of this with a grain of salt, as we still have to wait for stronger confirmation of this or more public outings.

Doja Cat At Wireless Festival 2024
Other recent Doja Cat stories revolve more around her place in the rap game, with Joe Budden recently issuing a hot take about her ranking. “Latto is ill,” he remarked on his podcast. “I might have to have her [at] number two. Nicki is number one for me. I think Latto would give Doja a long night. She can’t rap like that. If I’m just talking about rapping, Doja can pack it up if Latto walk in the studio with her notebook. I love Cardi but I mean, there’s the [ghostwriting] rumors so I’ll leave that alone. Latto has confirmed that to be her pen. She really loves hip-hop, like she’s one of those girls.”
Meanwhile, at least Doja Cat hasn’t experienced any more weird IG Live interruptions as of late. Last month, she expressed shock when a man seemed to moon her from his hotel window during her livestream. It was definitely a funny moment to witness, but not the kind of thing Doja probably wants to experience all the time. So let’s see if her social media includes more light fare like, say, some hints at this dating mystery.

Blueface’s Dad Provides Heartbreaking Update On Chrisean Jr. Amid Parents’ Prison Stay
It’s no secret that Blueface and Chrisean Rock have dealt with their fair share of legal issues lately. Earlier this month, the “Thotiana” rapper was handed a four-year prison sentence for violating the terms of his probation. This came as a huge surprise to his loved ones, who were eagerly anticipating his return home. As for Chrisean, it was recently reported that she could end up spending up to eight years behind bars for drug charges. She’s not been sentenced yet.
Amid all of this, the infamous duo’s fanbase has also been expressing concern for their child Chrisean Jr., who’s just shy of a year old. While he’s still extremely young and appears to be in good hands while his parents are gone, supporters don’t want him to deal with any negative consequences of his parents’ actions.

Blueface’s Father Says Chrisean Jr. Misses His Parents
Blueface’s father Johnathan Porter Sr. took to social media earlier today to provide fans with an update on him, which is incredibly sad. “Free Blue Free Chrisean,” he captioned a clip featuring the child. “Got a chance to speak with jr. the other day he miss his mom, dad, & grandpa. Y’all are going to very surprise with his progression that he has made when he pops back on the scene.” Hopefully, things in Chrisean Jr.’s mother’s case go over well. This would mean he’d have at least one parent by his side sooner rather than later.
Porter Sr.’s update arrives shortly after Blueface teased new music on his Instagram Story via a phone call from prison. An official release date for that has yet to be announced. What do you think of Blueface’s father providing fans with an update on Chrisean Jr. amid his parents’ prison stay? What about him revealing that he’s missing his mom and dad? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rihanna Kicks Back Some Shots With Friends In Barbados
Rihanna always has a good reason to go back home, and her latest trip to her native Barbados proved why in a wholesome but party-minded way. Moreover, a new video recently surfaced of her taking shots with some friends at a beach bar there over the weekend. The four of them seemed to take tequila shots as indicated by the limes, and RiRi asked the bartender for her name… And if she was allowed to drink at work so they could get her a shot, too. The bartender’s name is Rose, which got the singer very happy considering that that’s her son Riot’s middle name. The quarter (and Rose) cheered to the little one.
Furthermore, this went down at the Thunder Bay Beach Bar in Barbados, and Rihanna enjoyed a lot more when it comes to her travels. She also hit up the Crop Over Festival in a beautiful feathered dress, and A$AP Rocky and the kids are also around to help spread the good times. Overall, even though we see a lot of online content from the “Umbrella” superstar, it’s always more heartening to see these smaller, special moments. If only for a fleeting moment, it brings us as spectators closer and provides a relatable moment of reprieve through the joys of friendship… And tequila, too.

Rihanna Cheers To Her Son Riot Rose With Friends In Barbados
(@thunder.bay.beach.bar)Elsewhere, rumors are running rampant online that Rihanna will drop her long-anticipated album soon and will tour the world in 2025. Of course, we know what you’re thinking: been there, done that, and it’s been eight years of the same headline. Nevertheless, we doubt that anticipation or desperate hype for R9 will die down until it actually comes out. So be ready for a whole lot more reports and speculative gossip where that came from.
But the most important part of this trip isn’t the drinking, nor the luxury travels, nor whatever work Rihanna’s got to do on her next project. It’s how she and A$AP Rocky went to celebrate Riot Rose’s first birthday. As such, it’s no wonder why the friends cheered to him. Here’s to many more great times ahead, and to many more beach bar hangouts with loved ones.
