Kehlani Addresses Fans’ Lingering Questions About Their Sexuality

Kehlani addressed fans’ questions about their sexuality during a series of videos they posted on TikTok on Sunday. In doing so, they explained how they’re lesbian and the fact that they thought they were bisexual in the past doesn’t negate that fact.

“I was bisexual my entire life, and then I came out as a lesbian almost four years ago now,” they said. “But when I realized, recently actually, all of the f–king elevation in my life that has come from de-centering men in every f–king area of it … when I prioritized women and also just centered myself and women? When all the bad b—hes decide what planet we’re going to after we f–k this one, invite me, because I will thrive.”

From there, they fired back at fans bringing up their past relationships with men from when they were much younger. “Bringing up the fact that I had a child, or bringing up ex-boyfriends from four years ago or before, bringing up situations from when I was 20? I’m 29. I will be 30 next year,” they said. “I don’t know why there’s this inability to fathom that I’m a raging lesbian. And yes, my music is gay! Who I perform to and for is the gays. And if you’re stuck in the past, it’s between you and your god. If you’re a man still bringing up my ex-boyfriends, just say you want to f–k ’em.”

Druski Breaks His Silence On Rubi Rose Split

Druski was one of the many guests of honor at the 2024 BET Awards last night (Sunday, June 30) and had some interesting remarks for interviewer Carl Lamarre for Billboard on the red carpet. They started off just talking about feeling blessed, their favorite Usher songs, and which artists the comedian would include on a “Best Of” album (these are Drake, Heavy D, and Justin Bieber, by the way). However, they also spoke on some rumor mill updates about him and Rubi Rose breaking up, and his response to the matter is pretty vague. “Hey man… Aye, that what they said, you heard that? Now I say, man, I don’t know, man. You know, I’m just here blessed and highly favored, man, you know.”

Furthermore, fans learned of this apparent split from Rubi Rose herself, as she indicated her relationship status with Druski during a street interview at Paris Fashion Week. “Um, f**k love,” she remarked when asked her favorite love song. “Okay, I’m single, guys.” We don’t really know what happened between them, but we know that they got back to business as usual in their social media presences. He’s as funny as ever online, and Rose is as lusted-after as ever, as well.

Druski’s Billboard Red Carpet Interview At BET Awards

Still, if this news really is true, then we’re sure that Druski and Rubi Rose have found plenty of ways to distract themselves and move on from all this. In the former’s case, this seemed to almost line up with his recent sleepover stream with Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart, as it took place shortly before news of the alleged breakup broke. That was a pretty hilarious affair, and one that fans will likely continue to reference and look back on. Hopefully it’s not the last crossover between those entertainers.

Even LeBron James had to call in to join the fun, so you know that they had a good time. Meanwhile, Druski and Rubi Rose are still kind of up in the air right now thanks to the former’s comments at the BET Awards. Do they have different stories to tell here or is this all according to plan? We’ll see what’s to come of one of the Internet’s favorite recent couples.

Kehlani Recalls “Diabolical” Story About Being Cheated On & Fans Think It Was PartyNextDoor

Kehlani recently revealed the “craziest” thing they’ve ever caught someone doing in a relationship and based on the timeline they gave, fans think it was PartyNextDoor. They addressed the topic while speaking about their new song, “Better Not,” during an interview with Nessa on Hot 97. The song is included on their new album, Crash.

The interviewer begins by describing the track as “alarming.” In the lyrics, they rap: “I almost died the night when I caught you in somebody’s Benz (Ooh, ooh) / I better not catch you doing that sh*t again / And you’re not wrong, ’cause you’re not mine / I would choose this dance with you in every life / Though we’re just a little more than friends / I better not catch you doing that sh*t again.”

From there, she asks about the “craziest” thing Kehlani has witnessed. “This is actually psychotic. It’s actually diabolical. I found a stack of Polaroids of all the women that he cheated on me with. He was keeping them in Polaroid form in his travel bag,” Kehlani said. When asked to elaborate, they explained: “I was trying to clean. We were not in town. We weren’t in town and I was like putting things away.” They added that they were 19 or 20 years old at the time. “I was not the girl I am today that would be like, ‘Yo. Wow.’ I was definitely like, ‘Oh my God. Terrifying.’ And I threw them away. He never mentioned it to me and I never said anything. But there were crazier things that happened in that situation so it checks out.” Fans on social media quickly assumed Party was the unnamed person.

Offset Accused Of “Disrespecting” Cardi B On IG Amid Pregnancy Rumors

As of late, fans have started to speculate that Cardi B could be expecting, adding yet another layer of confusion to her already murky relationship status. Late last year, she announced that she and her longtime partner Offset had gone their separate ways. Since then, however, they appear to be back on good terms. It’s unclear at the time of writing whether or not they’re in a relationship again, though it seems like they’re at least keeping things cordial for their little ones.

The femcee stepped out last week for a BET Experience performance in an oversized sequined jersey dress, which left some suspecting that she was trying to hide a growing bump. Considering the fact that she and Offset just recently overcame some serious issues, this had fans concerned. Matters were only made worse today when the former Migos member took to Instagram to promote some new merch.

Offset’s Latest IG Post

The photos feature various scantily clad women rocking “rare” t-shirts and panties, an apparent nod to his recent Gunna collab. “She do what I say she gone fetch,” he captioned the post, quoting the song. Commenters are now accusing him of disrespecting Cardi, and they’re not holding back in the slightest. “If my husband posted this, I would be pissed! This is very disrespectful,” one user writes. “Who gone fetch?” another wonders. “You should’ve known better than to post this mess.”

Others are coming to his defense, arguing that he was just promoting his music and merch, which likely won’t impact his relationship with the “Enough” performer. What do you think of rumors that Cardi B could be expecting? What about Offset’s latest Instagram post? Do you think he deserves the backlash he’s receiving online, or are social media users simply overreacting?

Ashanti Reflects On Nelly Breakup Amid Marriage Reports

It goes without saying that Ashanti and Nelly have come a long way since first getting together in the early 2000s. The duo ended up going their separate ways for almost a decade in 2014 and rekindled their romance just last year. Within months, it was rumored that the songstress was expecting their first child, which she eventually confirmed. At the time, she also revealed that the two of them were engaged, leaving fans overjoyed for them.

Things between the two artists haven’t always been easy, however. Recently, Ashanti looked back on their infamous breakup in an interview with Entertainment Tonight and reflected on how things have changed since then. According to her, they used to bicker and argue, sometimes causing them not to talk for days afterward. Moreover, she shared that if her younger self had been told that they’d end up married with a baby on the way, she would have never believed it.

They still plan to have a wedding to celebrate the exciting milestone sometime in the near future, which Ashanti seems to have high hopes for.

Elsewhere in the interview, the mother-to-be described her ideal wedding as “a combination of fashion, glam, [and] Caribbean vibes.” A timeline for the ceremony has not yet been revealed.

Tia Kemp & Tokyo Toni Unite For Fiery Rick Ross Diss Track

Tia Kemp and Tokyo Toni joined forces on social media to concoct a diss track aimed at Rick Ross. Rapping over the beat to his iconic debut single, “Hustlin’,” from 2006’s Port of Miami, they ruthlessly trolled Ross. “This n***a can’t do sh*t. Can’t f*ck a b*tch. Can’t touch his f*cking hip,” Kemp raps at one point while Toni fires off several ad-libs. The two, along with Karlissa Saffold, recently teamed up to launch the Aunt Tea podcast on Zeus Network.

When The Neighborhood Talk shared the clip on Instagram, fans had plenty of jokes in the comments section. “They not even drunk or high. They just being themselves,” one user wrote with laughing emojis. Another wrote: “Man we already dealing with Joe Biden sleep walking now we gotta deal with Thelma and Louise.”

It’s far from the first time Kemp has called out Ross online. The two, who share a child together, have been publically feuding for years. Appearing on Future and Metro Boomin‘s recent track, “Everyday Hustle,” Ross labeled the mother his “biggest op.” It’s also not the first time Tokyo Toni has dissed Ross in a freestyle, having done so on social media back in April.

Rihanna Leaves ASAP Rocky Stunned By Turning Up To GloRilla: Watch

Earlier this month, GloRilla dropped off her summer-ready new single, “TGIF.” So far, most fans agree that it’s a bop, and it seems like some of her celebrity peers do too. Earlier today, Rihanna took to Instagram to share a clip of herself turning up to the fun single, leaving her partner ASAP Rocky in awe.

“Happy friday,” she captioned the post.

Earlier this month, she revealed that she’s finally gotten started on her new album, which fans have been demanding for years.

She’s set the bar high for the upcoming project, telling Extra in April that she’s determined to make sure it’s perfect. “It’s gonna be amazing,” she explained. “It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet. If I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away … There should be a show of growth, right?” What do you think of Rihanna vibing to GloRilla’s new track “TGIF”?
