Kehlani Announces ‘Blue Water Road Trip’ Tour

by

Kehlani is bringing Blue Water Road to a city near you.

The singer has announced dates for her “Blue Water Road Trip” with special guests Rico Nasty and Destin Conrad.

The North American leg kicks off July 30 in Raleigh, North Carolina before traveling across the U.S. and Canada, with stops in Miami, Atlanta, New York, Toronto, Chicago, and Los Angeles, wrapping Oct. 21 in Honolulu.

She will then head to Europe for a month-long trek, which commences Nov. 17 in Copenhagen and includes dates in Stockholm, Berlin, Milan, Paris, London, and more.

Kehlani will perform her newest album, Blue Water Road, which was released last month, as well as 2020’s It Was Good Until It Wasn’t.

“It’s my favorite thing in the world,” Kehlani told Apple Music of touring. “I love when people write to me and stop me and tell me things. But something about them singing the music back to me or the look on their faces when the song is meaningful to them, it’s just priceless. I don’t think there’s anything else like it.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 20. See dates below.

Doja Cat Reveals Why She ‘Swerved’ Jack Harlow

by

Jack Harlow’s crush on Doja Cat is still a hot topic.

Prior to winning four awards at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards, the “Kiss Me More” rapper recalled the time Harlow tried to shoot his shot with her on Instagram Live. She ended up “swerving” him, but Doja insists it was not intentional.

“My wig was peeling off and I noticed that and I was like, ‘Oh, gotta go, bye,’” she told “ET” while on the red carpet.

Back in March of 2020, the “First Class” rapper was on Instagram Live when Doja popped in and Jack tried to flirt with her, but she avoided his advances.

“I need to talk to you for a second though,” he told her before a shocked Doja responded, “You know who I am?”

Harlow explained that people thought they were dating because her boyfriend looked like him. Doja asked how tall Jack was and whether he was Jewish before abruptly leaving the livestream after noticing her wig was peeling off.

After she left, Jack admitted, “Oh man, I’ve got a crush on her for months.”

During the Billboard Music Awards, the “First Class” rapper also reflected on their flirtatious encounter, but noted that they’ve become friends since then and he wasn’t trying to shoot his shot again.

“I’ve become cool with Doja. That was early in our friendship, now we know each other pretty well. So I ain’t gonna do nothing too silly,” he said. “I think I’m playing it cool today.”

When asked if he was crushing on anyone else, he remained coy. “It’s always a new crush,” noted Jack, who famously flirted with Saweetie on the red carpet at the BET Awards.

Eminem Says He’s ‘Speechless’ After Listening to Kendrick Lamar’s Album

by

Kendrick Lamar has left Eminem speechless.

On Friday, the Compton rapper released his highly-anticipated album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers to much acclaim including from Eminem.

Taking to Twitter, the Rap God couldn’t contain his excitement upon hearing the album. In a tweet to Dr. Dre, who signed Kendrick to Aftermath, Em gushed after hearing Kendrick’s latest work.

“Yo @DrDre this Kendrick album is f****** ridiculous. I’m speechless,” he tweeted.

Eminem has previously given props to his “Love Game” collaborator, who he performed alongside at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. “Kendrick is at the very top top tier of lyricists. Not just of this generation, but of all time,” he told SiriusXM’s Sway Calloway.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers has been well received by fans and critics alike. Rolling Stone awarded it 3.5 out of 5, while Pitchfork gave it 7.6 out of 10, calling it “ambitious” and “impressive.”

The album, which features Baby Keem, Kodak Black, and Summer Walker, broke the Apple Music record for most first-day streams for an album released this year on the platform. It is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 325-350,000 units.

Kendrick also dropped a video for “N95” and announced a global tour with support from Baby Keem and Tanna Leone. The “Big Steppers” trek will kick off in the U.S. on July 19 before traveling to Europe and Australia.
