Are Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Engaged? Bad Gal’s Flashy Ring Has Fans Speculating

by

Having two children under two didn’t stop Rihanna and ASAP Rocky from stepping out to celebrate his 35th birthday earlier this month. The New York native’s big day actually falls on October 3. However, he held off until several days later to step out with his girlfriend and their closest pals. As per usual, they were dressed to the nines. Rocky opted for a pastel-coloured suit while Rih accessorized her Canadian tuxedo with plenty of eye-catching jewelry.

Besides the necklaces falling down her chest, the “Lift Me Up” songstress notably wore a massive diamond ring on her left hand. She and the Testing rapper just welcomed their second baby together. They’ve seemingly only become more closely bonded as a result. Rih has previously made it clear that she’s in no rush to be a wife. Nevertheless, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear of wedding bells in their future. According to Billboard, reps for Rocky and RiRi failed to confirm whether or not the Fenty Beauty founder’s ring was given to her during a proposal in time for publication.

Apart from making headlines with their “Fashion Killa” style, RZA and Riot’s parents went viral for their dance moves too. In one circulating clip, the couple has a dance battle to “Throw Some Mo” by Rae Sremmurd, Nicki Minaj, and Young Thug. Both of them have been earning praise from fans online for their effortlessly cool swagger.

It’s not hard to tell that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have found their counterparts in each other. Still, that doesn’t mean the Barbadian singer’s exes are done lyricizing about their time with her yet. On his new For All The Dogs album, Drake seems to make several references to Rih on “Fear Of Heights,” earning him significant backlash online. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

YNW Melly And YNW Bortlen Allegedly Used “Rihanna” As Code Name For Key Witness

by

YNW Melly is just ahead of his second trial in his alleged double murder case, and things took a turn this week when he was hit with a witness tampering charge. The news came after it was revealed that Melly’s co-defendant, YNW Bortlen, had been arrested and given a similar charge. It also followed police raiding the home of Neak Baby, Bortlen’s girlfriend. It was initially unclear what led to the new charges, however, more information has now been unveiled.

According to TMZ Hip Hop, documents suggest that Melly and Bortlen had been working together to keep witnesses from talking to police and testifying in their trials. They’re accused of communicating via phone, despite Melly having had his phone privileges revoked over disciplinary violations. The documents claim that another inmate would communicate to Bortlen, who was out on bond, on behalf of Melly. Allegedly, they used code names for key witnesses. The docs suggest they used “Rihanna” and “A$AP Rocky’s baby mama” as code for one woman in particular. Authorities believe they were able to instruct the witness to not appear at the trial.

The documents additionally claim that Melly’s been communicating with other inmates using nonverbal cues. Authorities say they have footage of him using these cues to move hand-written notes around the facility. Melly’s team calls the allegations a “desperate attempt” to convict him.

Jury selection for Melly’s second trial is scheduled to begin on October 9. His team thinks the process could take a while, considering how long it took last time around. The 24-year-old remains confident that he’ll be able to beat the case, recently telling his father that God is at work and he’ll be home soon. What do you think of Melly and Bortlen allegedly using “Rihanna” as a code name for one of the witnesses?

Drake’s New Song “Fear Of Heights” Features Numerous References To Rihanna

by

Late last night Drake dropped his highly anticipated new album For All The Dogs and fans are spending a lot of time dissecting it. There are stacks and stacks of talented collaborators on board for the project. J. Cole, 21 Savage, SZA, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, Lil Yachty, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Yeat, and Teezo Touchdown are the credited featured and there’s even more talent involved behind the scenes. But people are also talking about multiple artists who don’t even appear on the album, as they allegedly get dissed in the lyrics.

One of the biggest reported disses Drake threw out is at Rihanna on the song “Fear Of Heights.” It comes pretty early on the album and the very first verse is littered with some not-so-subtle references to Drizzy’s former collaborator. The most obvious and direct is his repeated use of the word Anti, which is the title of Rihanna’s critically acclaimed 2016 album. But throughout the verse, he makes reference to the pair’s past together. They’ve allegedly dated at numerous points from 2009 all the way up to 2018. Now, Rihanna has two children with another rapper, A$AP Rocky, who seemingly also gets referenced in the verse. Check out the entire song below.

Another high-profile artist who might have been dissed is The Weeknd, though fans are still divided. Drake does call him out by name and draw direct comparisons to his old rival PARTYNEXTDOOR, so it’s certainly possible. Other fans think it’s more of a statement on who Drizzy’s realest fans are.

J. Cole makes an appearance on the album’s song “First Person Shooter.” During his verse on the song, he takes some shots at NBA Youngboy. It didn’t take Youngboy long to respond to the shots he fired, responding before most people had even heard the song. What do you think of Drake’s shots at Rihanna on his new song “Fear Of Heights”? Let us know in the comment section below.

Is Drake’s ‘Fear Of Heights’ About Rihanna?

When Lil Yachty said that his friend and frequent collaborator, Drake’s For All The Dogs album would address some controversial topics, he wasn’t exaggerating. No, the “8AM In Charlotte” rapper doesn’t use the 23-track project to provide commentary on social issues. However, he still managed to stir up social media timelines due to his songs’ subject matter. One song, in particular, has users online in a tizzy. After listening to the record, supporters ran to their profile to ask:

Is Drake’s “Fear Of Heights” about Rihanna?

Many users believe so, as the opening verse includes several subtle references to the singer’s nickname, past album, song lyrics, and more. “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can’t ruin me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me / I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you / Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy sister / Auntie like a family picture / And I had way badder b*tches than you, TBH / Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you / Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles,” rapped Drake.

Rihanna isn’t the only person fans feel like was slighted on the For All The Dogs. Some believe Drake threw jabs at The Weeknd. At the same time, J. Cole delivered a lyrical punch to NBA YoungBoy. However, the Rihanna references struck a nerve with fans as the musician is now happily committed to her partner, fellow rapper ASAP Rocky, with whom she shares two young children. Rihanna and Drake reportedly dated each other off-and-one in 2009 and then again between 2016 and 2018. Could ASAP Rocky’s song at Rolling Loud Miami 2023 been a pre-rebuttal to Drake instead of Travis Scott?

Check out a few fans’ reactions to the alleged diss and listen to “Fear Of Heights” below.

A$AP Rocky celebrated his birthday on Tuesday (Oct. 3) and went with his bae and the mother of his children, Rihanna, on a trip to Carbone. Leaving the kids at home, Rihanna stunned in all black and flexing in some heeled leggings. Rocky left in a blazer with a shirt and tie nestled under a grey sweater.

Last month, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky formally introduced the world to their new son, Riot Rose. The 1-month-old baby is the subject of a photo shoot featuring their first son RZA.

Riot was born on Aug. 1, 2023, at Cedar Sinai Hospital at 7:41 a.m. Additionally, the belief is “RIhanna feels her family is now complete” and “it’s something she’s always wanted.”

“She loves being a mom, so this is where her mind is at the moment,” the source added.

Cardi B Praises “Super Moguls” Rihanna And Jay-Z

by

Earlier today, Cardi B’s highly anticipated episode of Hot Ones was released. She sat down opposite Sean Evans to eat some spicy wings and discuss a wide variety of topics. She talked about her new single “Bongos” as you’d expect but also got into some stranger subject matter. She discussed her fascination with learning about World War II and how it fostered a fascination with FDR. She also claimed that she doesn’t believe there are aliens out there despite the recent congressional hearings that got UFO fans buzzing.

But in a more serious moment in the interview, she paid tribute to some of her biggest idols. She specifically draws attention to Rihanna and Jay-Z, who obviously have quite a bit of music pedigree between them. But it’s their business acumen that Cardi praises directly. She describes the two as “super moguls” highlighting their ability to transition their musical success into the business world. Check out her thoughts on Rihanna and Jay-Z and the entire interview below.

Cardi B’s stint on Hot Ones is likely a refreshing reprise from her new cycle of various ongoing beefs. She sparked a beef with Joe Budden after the podcast host critiqued her new single “Bongos.” Despite Budden’s insistence that there isn’t any real beef underneath it all, stories of the two at odds have persisted.

Cardi B’s husband Offset is also embroiled in his own beef with Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty. The pair have been taking shots at each other back and forth on social media which fans couldn’t help but connect to long running rumors of bad feelings between Nicki and Cardi. The beef escalated so much that Petty had his house arrest re-instated after threatening Offset online. Thankfully, things seem to be cooling down in recent days. What do you think of Cardi B’s praise for Jay-Z and Rihanna? Let us know in the comment section below.

“We’re best friends with a baby,” she added about how she parents with Rocky. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”
