Usher, one of R&B’s greatest showmen, might have just gotten shown up by a special guest at his recent concert. The Dallas, Texas-born singer is still trekking all across North America right now for his Past Present Futuretour. There are a few reasons for this, including a neck injury and Hurricane Milton. The physical issue happened in August, and Mother Nature halted his plans in October. This led Usher to move these dates back. In fact, all of them were rescheduled for this month. The first three missed dates have already gone by, and the Miami shows are currently being knocked out. Last night (December 16) kicked things off and they began with a bang.
If you know Usher’s routines at his performances, you know he loves to interact with the audience. That’s especially true when it comes to his female concertgoers. Just a few days ago, the “Yeah!” hitmaker granted a birthday girl in the crowd to eat two cherries out of his hand mid-show. However, she didn’t simply gobble them up. Instead, she got really sexual and raunchy with it before giving him a little booty shaking show.
He was left quite surprised, with his facial reaction on the big screen at the venue in a hilarious moment. Well, yesterday at the Kaseya Center was no different, but this time a celebrity was in the stands. Rubi Rose, model, entrepreneur, and rapper, made her way out to support Usher. He’s got a history of tracking down women like her and creating viral memories, and trust us, they managed to make one.
Instead of two cherries, the star attraction dangled one in front of Rubi’s face. She began to lick it (again a suggestive manner), but she stopped. Instead of going it alone, she called on a friend that was with her, and they both did their thing on it right in front of Usher. As you can see in the video above, his reaction was utterly priceless with the crowd laughing at his facial expression. Rubi wound up sharing the video on her Twitter, captioning the post, “When u shy but a real eater.” Fans were similarly stunned but the stunt, with one writing, “Usher face is sending me bc I made the EXACT same face ”

Uproxx cover star Latto’s latest album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, is a love letter to her Atlanta adjacent upbringing. But, all women can relate to the project’s viral breakout, “Brokey.” Initially, the song was used to shame everyday working folks. However, in the official video directed by Laura Marciano, Latto pays homage to all working women around the world.
Latto even enlisted the help of fellow recording artist Rubi Rose to drive home the track’s true purpose. From stay-at-home mothers to boss babes, no one’s contributions are ignored. Instead, those who don’t pull their weight are called out for their “brokey” tendencies. If you need an example of that, comedian Desi Banks’ role in the video defines it perfectly.
Rubi Rose wasn’t the only notable cameo in the visual. TikToker Yadira Ramirez also made an appearance. For those unfamiliar with Ramirez, her submission to Latto’s “Brokey” challenge cost Ramirez her job at Waffle House. But, seeing that she’s now in the visual and took home the $10,000 cash prize, Ramirez has seemingly made content creation her new full-time job.
Watch Latto’s official video for “Brokey” above.
Sugar Honey Iced Tea is out on now via RCA Records. Find more information here.
Jack Harlow and Druski are a great duo. They’ve teamed up for interviews, podcast appearances and pretty much everything else over the years. Their friendship is built on a mutual appreciation of roasting each other. Harlow has been quiet in recent months, but he decided to come out of hiding to absolutely dunk on his buddy via Instagram. Druski decided to do a little flexing on social media, and the rapper felt the need to come over the top rope with a hilarious, albeit savage comment.
Druski posted a couple photos of himself with the caption “Never needed no PR.” The comedian added a laughing emoji at the end of his boastful message, so it was obvious that he was in on the silliness of the whole thing. Jack Harlow really kicked it up a notch, though. He proceeded to pack three different jokes into one comment. “Or a stylist,” he wrote. “Or a trainer, or a nutritionist.” The rapper added the hashtags #INDEPENDENT and #SELFMADE, furthering the notion that Druski is not bragging about much. It’s a hilarious response, and one that was made in good fun, given the dynamic these two seemingly have.
Druski recently made headlines for less than stellar reasons. Rubi Rose, the model who seemingly dated Druski for a short time, claimed she was only with him for clout. “And for the record I never slept with that man,” she tweeted. “N**ga paid for PR. Not the p**sy.” Rose followed up her tweet clarifying that she had no hard feelings toward Druski. “He is funny and nice tho,” she claimed. “I only give it up if I’m in love, ion care how much money a n**ga got.” Regardless of the reasoning, the revelation did not look great on the part of Druski.
Regardless, Jack Harlow and Druski seem close as ever. The two celebs talked about their friendship during a profile with Complex Magazine. Harlow claimed that they share a similar perspective, which is something that allowed them to click right away. “We’re both in tune. [We] both are present,” he noted. “I We see the world the same way…. He notices things about me that are in a blind spot of myself.” Druski returned the compliment, claiming him and Jack Harlow are similarly ambitious. “We’re in two different lanes, but we’re doing the same transition,” he concluded.
Rubi Rose says she didn’t actually date Druski and the entire relationship was just paid P.R. She revealed the backstory to the short-lived romance in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. “And for the record i never slept with that man, n***a paid for PR. Not the p*ssy,” Rose wrote, before adding in more posts, “He is funny and nice tho! I only give it up if I’m in love, ion care how much money a n***a got. I’m rich asf lol”
Fans shared plenty of laughs in the replies to Rose’s admission. One user wrote: “Damn bruh you had that mf spending money on you and all you could do was give him kisses and asss grabs.” Another joked: “N****s not even paying for p*ssy no more …they paying for the illusion of getting p*ssy.” Others theorized how much she charged for the relationship.

Rose and Druski seemingly began dating back in April, sharing several photos together in the ensuing months. In late June, Rose posted about being single on social media. Eventually, Druski confirmed they were no longer an item in July. “[There wasn’t] nothing bad that happened,” he explained at the time. “We just, you know – she’s a beautiful girl. She’s doing great in life, man. She’s making money, I’m doing the same… I learned that when you got a bad b*tch, you can’t really…when you have a beautiful woman, of that caliber…it comes with a lot.”

There’s no doubt that Rubi Rose knows how to draw attention to herself. The Kentucky rapper, model, and fashion designer is many a man’s dream girl it seems, and these latest pics seem to prove that. Her latest thirst traps were taken at Isabela Beach, a serene scene in Isabela, Puerto Rico. The island is in the northwestern region, a place apparently known for its surfing spots. However, for Rubi, it was even better locale to snap some stunning photos of herself for the Gram. In this collage, the “Big Mouth” artist has nine different shots to share while wearing a Puerto Rican flag bikini that leaves little to the imagination.
From numerous angles, she flexes her beach bod from the front, side, and of course the back. In fact, the second slide sees Rubi Rose show off her flexibility by doing the splits. Even though all of these flicks had fans drooling, this one did a lot of fans in. “The split is devious workkk”, one user admits. “That split is always gonna do it for me”, another chimes in. Even Luh Tyler, the young rapper from Florida had to even pop in and say “Wow”.
Of course, following her and Druski’s recent split, a lot of people in her comments were trolling the comedian. “How could druski fumble that”, one asks. Others were posting hilarious memes of Rubi’s ex depicting what he’s probably feeling seeing these sexy uploads. It’s clear that she’s one of the most sought-after ladies in hip-hop and it that will almost assuredly continue for a long time.
What are your thoughts on these latest thirst traps from Rubi Rose? Did Druski fumble, or were they just not right for one another? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Rubi Rose. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
Druski always has a one-liner ready. It’s the reason he blew up on TikTok, and why he’s one of the most recognizable comedians on the internet. Druski knows how to get a laugh, or to drop a quotable that will stick in the heads of listeners. Sometimes, though, the talent can backfire. The comedian sat down for an interview with V103 Atlanta on July 31, and his comments about his ex-girlfriend, Rubi Rose, proved to be more viral than he anticipated. Druski subsequently got on Instagram to clarify that he was joking.
Let’s start with the V103 interview. Druski was asked about his brief but notable romance with model and rapper Rubi Rose. He spoke highly of Rose, but when asked what the biggest lesson he learned from the relationship was, he had jokes. “When you have a beautiful woman, of that caliber,” he explained. “You better have them pockets ready… You don’t know when you’re gonna have to be pulling that wallet out.” The comedian went on to say that there’s no ill will between him and his famous ex, though. “She is a beautiful girl [and] she’s doing great in life,” he asserted.
“Have them pockets ready” quickly spread through social media like a wildfire. Some were amused by Druski’s comment, others were annoyed that he would suggest Rubi Rose took advantage of his wealth. In an effort to stave off additional controversy, though, the comedian took to Instagram. He posted an IG Story clarifying that he was messing around during the radio interview. “In the last interview I did, I spoke about my recent relationship,” he wrote. “And to be real I was trolling.” Druski went as far as to claim that Rubi Rose paid for a lot of their adventures as a couple. “She spent more money in the relationship than I did,” he added.
Druski’s comments have provided the most insight into the celebrity romance yet. Both him and Rubi Rose had been vague about what happened in the aftermath of their break up. Rose simply announced that she was single during a street interview in June. Druski, on the other hand, danced around the topic during an interview on the BET red carpet. “I don’t know, man,” he said. “You know, I’m just here blessed and highly favored, man, you know.” Based on the net worths of Druski and Rubi Rose, though, it seems like both of them are going to be just fine.
Rubi Rose and Druski (Drubi) have seemingly split up, after the Kentucky femcee emphatically labeled herself as single. To many, this may not come as a surprise, as people were quick to question the validity of their relationship. But whether you want to believe that it not, this confirms that they were indeed an item. This news comes courtesy of The Shade Room, and this relationship update was revealed during Paris Fashion Week. In short and blunt fashion, Rubi Rose was asked what her favorite love song was, given they were in the aforementioned city.
“Um, f*** love“, she told the interviewer. However, she was not referring to the song by XXXTENTACION. Instead, she was sharing how she has seemingly been feeling lately. Before abruptly walking away, Rose made it known that she is not with anyone anymore. “Okay, I’m single, guys”. The Shade Room is also saying that Druski has yet to speak out about this breakup and that neither of them were following each other on Instagram.
But instead of just moving on from the star comedian, Rubi is supposedly ready to make herself totally available again. In a clip reshared from HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED off her IG story, the model was sporting her figure in a sultry fashion. She captioned the video, “Responding to DMs”, with a link attached. When you click on it, it takes you to her version of a Linktree. It includes shortcuts to her OnlyFans, Snapchat, as well as the music video for “Deserve To Die”. Given the fact that the track deals with men cheating on women, some are speculating that Druski was possibly getting with someone else. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what happens between them.
What are your thoughts on Rubi Rose saying that she is now single? Do you think that her relationship with Druski was truly real? How do you feel about her seemingly making herself available already?

Rubi Rose is quickly becoming a name everyone in hip-hop needs to know. Her striking debut in Migos’ “Bad & Boujee” music video wasn’t just a flash in the pan—it was the spark that ignited her rise. With her magnetic presence and undeniable charm, Rubi grabbed the spotlight and never let go. What started as a standout cameo soon evolved into a dynamic career, proving she had far more to offer than just a pretty face in a viral hit.
Rubi Rose’s transformation from video vixen to hip-hop heavyweight is a story of grit and guts. She took that initial burst of fame and turned it into a platform for her music, connecting with a growing audience that couldn’t get enough of her raw talent and candid persona. Today, Rubi is not just riding the wave of her early success—she’s making her waves, showing the world that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the music scene.
The Early Years
Rubi Rose’s journey into hip-hop started long before her cameo in “Bad & Boujee.” Born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, Rubi grew up surrounded by a rich blend of musical influences. Her Ethiopian heritage and American upbringing provided a unique backdrop that shaped her artistic vision. Even in her early years, Rubi was drawn to the energy and rhythm of hip-hop. She dreamed of one day making her mark in the industry.
We know her first big break came in 2016 when she appeared in the music video for Migos’ breakout hit. This appearance was more than just a lucky break; it was a strategic move that showcased her ability to stand out in a crowd. With her striking looks and confident demeanor, Rubi captured the attention of fans and the industry. This initial exposure was the perfect launchpad for her music career, setting the stage for what would come.
Breakthrough Into Rap & Career Highlights

Many were surprised by Rubi Rose’s initial brush with fame. However, Rose wasn’t content with remaining in the background. She quickly pivoted from video vixen to bona fide rapper, a move that demanded attention and respect in the hip-hop community. Her first major single, “Big Mouth,” released in 2019, quickly gained traction, amassing millions of streams and setting the stage for her burgeoning career. Rose’s raw and authentic style resonated with fans, who appreciated her unfiltered approach to music and life.
Later, in 2020, she dropped her debut mixtape, For the Streets, which solidified her place in the rap scene. Collaborations with prominent artists like Future and PartyNextDoor further cemented her status. Each release was a testament to her ability to pair catchy hooks with hard-hitting verses. Moreover, Rubi’s momentum didn’t stop there. She continued to release singles that garnered widespread acclaim. Her music videos were also known for their bold and explicit visuals and became instant hits on YouTube. This further amplified her presence in the industry.
Recognition from notable awards shows and music platforms followed, with Rose being nominated for various accolades that highlighted her rapid ascent. This recognition was not just for her music but also for her impact on the culture. She became a voice for a new generation of women rappers.
Controversies & Dating Life
Rubi Rose’s rise to stardom hasn’t been without its share of drama and public scrutiny. Her personal life, often entwined with her professional one, has been controversial. It has made her a frequent subject of media attention. One of Rubi Rose’s most significant and publicized relationships was with fellow rapper DDG. Their relationship, marked by its highs and lows, became a focal point for fans and the media alike. The couple’s frequent public arguments and reconciliations played out on social media, drawing widespread attention. In 2020, their tumultuous relationship reached a peak when Rubi Rose accused DDG of infidelity, leading to a highly publicized breakup.
Rubi Rose’s connection with Playboi Carti also sparked considerable controversy. Their on-again, off-again relationship, coupled with social media spats and public accusations, kept fans and tabloids on their toes. In one notable incident, Rubi accused Carti of disrespect and infidelity, which led to a major fallout on social media. Despite the negative press, Rubi leveraged the attention to further her music career.
Another significant controversy involved her brief romantic involvement with rapper Lil Tjay. The relationship took a dramatic turn when an argument unfolded on social media, exposing the raw side of their dynamic. While this incident drew criticism, it also highlighted Rubi’s unfiltered approach to life and relationships. Further, Rubi Rose has also faced scrutiny for her bold social media presence and provocative fashion choices. Critics often argue that her daring outfits and candid posts overshadow her musical talents. However, Rubi has consistently defended her right to express herself, emphasizing her desire to control her narrative and empower other women to do the same.
Rubi Rose had a memorable appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast. The rapper talked about lots of different topics, including her start as a video girl. Rose’s misconception over how old she was when she appeared in the “Bad and Boujee” video caused a firestorm online, but she eventually cleared it up. One topic that didn’t get as much attention, though was Rubi Rose’s songwriting process. While she’s both a rapper and songwriter, according to Wikipedia, she told Budden that she actually didn’t pen most of her own lyrics.
Joe Budden got very frank very fast with his guest, and this included her musical output. Rose’s debut album is set for release in 2024, and the ex-rapper was curious how much she played a hand in writing her songs. The answer? She doesn’t. At all. Joe Budden asked Ruby Rose point blank if she wrote her songs and she said, simply, “No.” There was a moment of awkward laughter when she responded, but the rest of the podcast panel broke out in applause. They commented Rose’s honesty, and then things took a comedic turn when she turned the tables on Budden. “Do you?,” she asks the ex-rapper. Things erupted once again, and Budden smiled before confirming that, “yes,” he does.
The debate over writers has reached a fever pitch in hip-hop over the last decade. A lot of the slander has been thrown at Drake, especially in light of the reference tracks that keep surfacing online. Most of the slander, however, has been reserved for female rappers. Coi Leray’s pen game was questioned after demos with lyrics similar to hers leaked in 2022. She hopped on Instagram Live to clear the air. “I’m here to speak for myself and I do want to give a little education real quick,” she asserted. “My whole album. I mean, every single feature written by me, so I know my pen game is super amazing.”
Rubi Rose’s transparency is surprising, even by 2024 standards. She was similarly open about the fact that she wasn’t a gang member. The topic came up after the rapper was seen throwing up gang signs and wearing red in 2022. “I’m not actually a gang member,” she said on the Big Facts podcast. “I know that’s kind of like a joke on the internet…I was around gang members and I just like throwing their gang signs up because it’s cute. I love the color red. I’m in no way a gang member, though.” It’s hard to tell if Rose will have a long career, but it’s inarguable that she’s being real with her fans.
