Blueface’s Mom Threatens To “Slap The Shit” Out Of Him: Watch

by

For some, Sunday is the Lord’s day. For others, however, it’s a day sure to be full of chaos and drama thanks to a new episode of Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s Crazy In Love.

The last few weeks have seen the famous couple’s antics playing out on their Zeus reality series. We’ve seen the “Thotiana” rapper and his partner’s father exchange blows. Also, the reality starlet’s brother appeared to give the couple advice about their often-aggressive relationship.

Rock and Blueface’s bickering has been the centre of several episodes. However, we’ve still seen his issues with his own family play out. This week, in particular, the 25-year-old comes face-to-face with his mother, Karlissa Saffold.

In one preview that’s been circulating online, the California native and his mom step outside to speak. He tells her that she carries herself with a lot of importance and that he loves her because of their familial relationship. Still, that’s not always enough.

“I feel like I’m more mature than you,” Blue tells Saffold in front of the cameras. “Love you, mother, but you just not my type of woman I guess. Not my type of lady.”

In another trailer, most of the 25-year-old’s family comes together to confront Rock and her man. Specifically, they feud about a physical altercation between the group that previously went viral.

“If you’re 50 with little kids outside, you’re going to get into some little kid shit,” Blueface explains to Saffold as she yells at him. In response, she says, “If you disrespect me, and you’re my son, Jonathan, I’m gonna slap the shit out of you every time! I am your mother!”

The recording artist and Rock look visibly uncomfortable from the other side of the room, though he says “I understand.” At the same time, his mother continues to yell about how they didn’t argue in the past with his sister also joining in.

Floyd Mayweather Trains Armani White For New Music Video

by

Armani White is fresh off the release of his brand new single, “GOATED.” Featuring Denzel Curry, the track finds the two claiming their dominance in the rap game.

An accompanying music video also arrives along with the song. Floyd Mayweather Jr makes an entertaining appearance, training the rapper in his TMT gym. Additionally, it appears as though the duo had a great time behind the scenes as well.

According to footage from TMZ, the pair were putting in some work in between takes on set. The “DIAMOND DALLAS.” rapper gets some lessons on footwork and punching techniques on the heavy bag. Additionally, of course, White returns the favor by showing Floyd how to do the “GOATED shoulder dance” that he’s pushing alongside the song.

The retired undefeated boxer’s appearance is a testament to the Philadelphia native’s undeniable growing popularity in the rap game.

“GOATED” serves as the first single to the 26-year-old’s forthcoming EP, which will allegedly be out later this year. His last EP comes in the form of 2021’s deeply personal, Things We Lost In The Fire.

Of course, White broke onto the scene with his viral hit song from last year, “BILLIE EILISH.” It was popular on TikTok before it even saw an official release. The track is rather short, clocking in at just over a minute and a half. However, it certainly manages to pack a heavy punch, as the Philadelphi’s native infectious energy and speedy flows take centre stage.

Denzel Curry, on the other hand, is fresh off his successful year in 2022. In March, he dropped his fifth studio album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future. The 14-track project boasts features from T-Pain, 6LACK, slowthai and more.

Make sure to check out the full music below.

Rihanna Preps For Valentine’s Day With Sexy New Savage X Fenty Lingerie Campaign

by

2022 was primarily focused on Rihanna’s first pregnancy. In 2023 though, the new mother is proving to the world that she’s back and better than ever in all areas of her life. January has seen her putting in plenty of work, specifically for her upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show, but also for a certain romantic holiday that’s quickly approaching.

The Bad Gal has always been a fashion lover. That clearly comes through in each one of her Savage X Fenty collections. This year, she threw on some of the latest designs herself to model in a sultry campaign shoot. “Phuck yo roses,” she wrote in the caption of the tantalizing teaser.

Rocking a black lace jumpsuit with a large chest cutout, Rihanna strikes various poses for the camera. She expertly shows off her famous figure from the front and back, leaving no angle unflaunted. At the same time, we see glass smashing and hear almost robotic music playing.

In another image that was posted to the @savagexfenty Instagram account, the 34-year-old poses atop a glass table. In this image, she wears a similar look, though instead of lace, this one looks to be a multi-coloured pattern.

“Hot from e’ry angle,” the caption reads. “Get into our new VDay collection – on the site now.” As promised, the brand’s online store boasts everything from men’s pyjamas to lipstick print cozy sets. Prices begin around $35 CAD and only go up from there.

Of course, the Valentine’s Day collection isn’t the only thing Rihanna’s been promoting to her followers. To celebrate her forthcoming performance at the Super Bowl, Savage X Fenty is also selling merchandise to commemorate.

As HipHopDX notes, the Game Day collection boasts 17 different pieces such as hoodies, sweatpants, jerseys, beanies, boxers, and even a bandana.

The Barbadian is set to take to the stage on February 12 at Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium. This marks her first major performance since the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards when she took home the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard.

Are you excited to see what Rihanna has in store for us next month? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kanye & His New Wife Reportedly Have Her Family’s Support

by

More news surrounding Ye and his new marriage are continuing to slowly come out. After being spotted out in public with Bianca Censori over the past week, TMZ reports that the new couple actually held a private wedding ceremony. However, they allegedly haven’t filed an official marriage license just yet.

In the latest update, Censori’s family is speaking out in support of her new marriage.

According to the Herald Sun, the 27-year-old’s sister, Angelina Censori and her family are supportive. “It’s very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being,” she says.

Censori reportedly has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Melbourne. Additionally, she has her Masters in Architecture from DP Toscano Architects in Collingwood. November of 2020 is allegedly when she moved from Australia to the United States, in order to work as the Head of Architecture at the 45-year-old’s brand, Yeezy.

However, one person who seemingly isn’t happy about the new couple is Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. According to various reports, she has a long-standing dislike towards her. At this point in time, however, it could all just be speculation, considering the 42-year-old is yet to speak out about it.

The reality TV star and the Chicago native were together for about eight years. The divorce was only finalized in November of last year. After this, the world was witness to the “Bound 2” rapper subsequently having a brief fling with Julia Fox. They were only together for about a month. The actress says she dumped the Chicago native due to his “unresolved issues.”

Furthermore, the Uncut Gems actress recently revealed that she may have gone on a date with Drake as well. “I flew on a private jet, cuddled on the jet, landed, got some Chanel bags. It was just great,” she tells Andy Cohen in a recent interview. Afterwards, she alludes to the fact that it very well could’ve been the “Jimmy Cooks” rapper.

Juice Wrld’s Ex-Girlfriend, Ally Lotti, Arrested For Drug Possession & Theft: Report

by

Juice Wrld’s ex-girlfriend, Ally Lotti, has reportedly been arrested on charges of drug possession and theft. XXL reports that Lotti was booked at Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office in West Memphis, Arkansas on Saturday morning.

All-in-all, Lotti is facing charges of possession of methamphetamine or cocaine with the purpose to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, and theft of property. She is currently jailed on a $2,525 bond.

Lil Bibby responded to news of Lotti’s arrest in a comment on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram page.

“Damn, Meth? Free Ally,” he wrote.

Juice Wrld and Ally Lotti dated for about a year before the rapper’s tragic passing in 2019. Lotti was on the private plane with Juice Wrld when he died of an accidental drug overdose “as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity,” according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Juice Wrld was just 21 years old at the time of his death.

Lotti recently made headlines when she claimed that Juice Wrld didn’t actually die from an overdose. Instead, she says there’s more to the story than the public knows about.

“Y’all mad ’cause literally I’m like, ‘Oh, blah blah blah, you guys think he died from an overdose.’ You’re wrong! You’re wrong!” she said on social media back in November. “Literally, you’re wrong so suck a dick. Okay? Suck a dick.”

She added: “There’s a lot of shit y’all don’t know that I fucking grieved through myself while I let y’all grieve and talk mad shit on me. I don’t care.”

Robbie Knievel, Son Of Evel Knievel, Dead At 60

by

Robbie Knievel, son of the iconic daredevil, Evel Knievel, has passed away at the age of 60. In a statement provided to CNN, his brother, Kelly, confirmed that he had been battling pancreatic cancer for six months.

“He was in hospice for about four days. He had advanced pancreatic cancer,” Kelly Knievel told the outlet.

Kelly added that Robbie was accompanied by his three daughters when he passed: Krysten Knievel Hansson of Chicago, Karmen Knievel of Missoula, Montana, and Maria Collins of Waldport, Oregon.

Kelly went on to describe his late brother as a “great daredevil.”

“If you’ve ever been to one of his jumps, they were really dangerous, and you can’t really capture the emotional feeling of the danger that you see on TV,” Kelly said.

Robbie began participating in motorcycle stunts in his teens, following in his father’s footsteps. Over the course of his career, Robbie performed 300 jumps and set 20 world records. His success didn’t come without a fair share of hardship as well, having suffered several injuries over the years.

“Injuries took quite a toll on him,” Kelly said.

Reflecting on his relationship with his father in 2019, Robbie explained that they grew closer after his career took off.

“Of the four of us kids, he disciplined me the most, since I was the rebel,” he wrote at the time. “I was the one constantly challenging him and emulating him.”

Services have not yet been scheduled, but Kelly says his brother will be buried with other family members in Butte, Montana. Evel passed away back in 2007 in Clearwater, Florida.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen reportedly welcomed their third child on Friday, January 13. According to PEOPLE, Legend confirmed that they welcomed “the little baby this morning,” during a private concert.

“What a blessed day,” he told the audience. He added that he “didn’t get a lot of sleep” but “feels energized” after spending “a lot of time” at the hospital.

Despite confirming the news to fans at the recent concert, neither Legend nor Teigen has spoken about the birth on their social media accounts.

Legend previously detailed the family’s excitement for the new addition during an interview with PEOPLE in 2022.

“We’re all excited,” Legend said. “And, you know, my kids are old enough to really be aware of what’s happening, so they’re really anticipating having a new sibling in their lives. And I think they’ll be good at being a big sister and big brother.”

Legend and Teigen are already parents to their son, Miles, 4, and daughter Luna, 6. The two met back in 2006 and became engaged in 2011. They married in September 2013, in Italy.

The couple originally planned on having another baby in 2020, but Teigen suffered pregnancy complications. Speaking with Good Morning Britain in 2022, Legend reflected on the tragedy.

“Whenever you lose a pregnancy there is always cautious optimism when you’re pregnant again,” he said. “Because you never know what could happen and you’ve experienced that tragedy of losing one. But everything has been great so far, the kids are excited, we’re all excited and can’t wait to welcome the new baby into the world.”

Mack Wilds Wants To Play LL Cool J In Biopic

by

Mack Wilds says that he wants to portray LL Cool J if a biopic is made about the legendary rapper. The Wire actor put his name in the running for the role after Cool J tweeted about making a biopic, earlier this week.

“Should I do a bio pic?” LL Cool J captioned a series of photos of himself.

Wilds responded to the post directly by writing, “I mean… what are we talking about?”

Afterward, he elaborated on the idea while speaking with HipHopDX.

“Hell yes! I’d love to play LL,” he told the outlet. “I’ve been trying to figure out if he’d do a biopic for years.”

From there, he reflected on the impact LL Cool J had on his career.

“LL was my very first concert,” he explained. “He did a free concert at Wingate Park in Brooklyn. My dad took me ’cause he saw I really connected to his music. He was my first understanding of stage presence.”

Wild has previously starred in The Wire, Shots Fired, 90210, and more over the years. In addition to his acting career, Wilds has been releasing music. He dropped his debut album, New York: A Love Story, in 2013. Method Man, Raekwon, and Doug E. Fresh all made appearances on the project. Wilds earned a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album, but lost out to Rihanna’s Unapologetic.

He released his latest project, AfterHours, in 2017.

It remains unclear if LL Cool J is serious about going forward with a biopic, but look out for Wilds’ involvement if he does.

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Post Up On Instagram

by

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan caused quite the conversation over the last few months. When the two Chicago Bulls descendants were first spotted in September, many took to social media to talk about their age gap and relationship. However, Larsa Pippen posted a picture with Marcus Jordan on her Instagram story along with some screenshots of them together. It’s clear they’re still going strong, yet the conversation doesn’t slow down.

Moreover, Pippen captioned one of the pictures she posted with “11:11 on Friday the 13th, make a wish.”

Meanwhile, one of many who jumped into the Pippen-Jordan conversation is former NBA star Gilbert Arenas.

“She needs the attention,” he said. “She needs someone who’s going to look at her like she is the prize trophy. The only person that’s going to do that is the younger generation…No 55-year-old man is going to be excited about, c’mon. There’s going to be younger men. If this doesn’t work out, there’ll be another younger man.”

Even with all the lovely posts, there was a time when Pippen dismissed rumors of a romance. She spoke on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last December to talk about the alleged fling.

“I think a lot of people think our families were really close and intertwined, and they really weren’t.” Moreover, she said she “never really knew Marcus’ mom or them,” and “just recently met [the family] a couple years ago.” She went on to say that she and Marcus were just friends.

After returning to The Real Housewives of Miami, the 48-year-old took plenty of promo ops to discuss her relationship with Marcus.

“We are friends,” she told The Post. “We’ve been friends for the last couple of years. I’m in a place right now where I’m finally open to dating. Every time I’m seen out with someone, [people] make it out to be more than it actually is, and it’s normally nothing. So, yeah, I’m just dating right now and focusing on my businesses, my family, and having fun.”
