‘BMF’ Welcomes 3 New Faces
On Thursday, Dec. 14, it was announced on Instagram that Saweetie, Lil Baby, and 2 Chainz will be making their acting debut on the highly acclaimed show BMF, created by none other than 50 Cent.
This news has ignited fan anticipation and sparked mixed reactions on social media. As the newest season of BMF gears up for its premiere on March 1, 2024, viewers are eager to see how the three star rappers will impact the show’s credibility and ratings.
Fans on Twitter(X) have seemingly stated mixed reviews on the new additions to the show. One user (@aishofspades) commented: “ I can’t explain it, but putting more celebs is actually making it seem more low budget.” While another user (@20Kylies) commented, “They aint even try to change Lil Baby’s appearance.”
Don’t Count Her Out!
In addition to this, rap artist Saweetie broke into the TV screens. In 2021, trailers revealed she was making her acting debut on the popular network show Grown-ish.
The Icy girl, known for her chart-topping hits and fierce fashion sense, is expanding her career portfolio with this foray into acting. In an interview with Flaunt Magazine, she expressed her excitement about her upcoming projects and album, emphasizing her passion for music and her hunger to succeed.
This new venture into acting is sure to showcase Saweetie’s versatility as an artist and further solidify her presence in the entertainment industry.
2 Chainz’s Previous Announcement

Kodak Black To Explore New Open Doors
In other news related to artists making their acting debuts, rapper Kodak Black recently entered the world of acting with his debut in the short film The Don. As part of his recently released album Pistolz & Pearlz, Kodak Black directed and filmed the film himself.
Saweetie’s music brings her more backlash than many other rap divas face, though the “Best Friend” hitmaker has more Grammy nominations than others who have been in the industry far longer than her. After her EP in late 2022 arrived to lacklustre first week sales, some have urged Saweetie to pursue other creative avenues where she feels more at home. Regardless of what critics have to say, she remains determined to put out a quality body of work – one that tells a story (or maybe even multiple) without depending on the virality of hits.
In a new interview with Elite Daily, the 30-year-old was open about the lengthy process going into her debut album, which she’s currently still crafting. “There’s a misconception about how quickly an album can be done. It’s taken me a long, long time, but it’s not as easy as some people make it seem,” she told the publication. “I don’t want it to be an album just full of hits. Yes, I want it to have hits, but I want the songs to correlate with one another.”

The Cancer baddie originally planned for her LP to land in June 2021 but didn’t quite feel ready at the time. “I honestly have an ample amount of songs. It’s all about figuring out what kind of story I want to tell,” she shared of what’s holding her back. “I don’t know if I want a linear story. I want it to tell many stories — maybe it’s telling many stories of Saweetie’s life.”
Even if she’s not as consistent with music as her fans may like, Saweetie makes sure to stay serving us up looks. She and YG have done a great job of coordinating since confirming their romance with the public earlier this year, and the Icy Girl’s Halloween costume channelling a famous Johnny Depp character was one of the best we saw.

The rapper also emphasized the power of words and kindness. “You have to be really careful with your words,” Saweetie shared. “Don’t only just be kind to your peers, be kind to people who may not feel like a peer, good or bad because I feel like if you’re good to people, it will eventually be reciprocated.”

When Usher urged men not to leave their ladies around him, he wasn’t joking. His Usher: My Way Las Vegas residency has shown that he remains one of R&B’s most notorious ladies’ men. During his shows, he selects a special lady from the crowd as he sings his 2010 song “There Goes My Baby.” In the past, Keke Palmer, Saweetie, Winnie Harlow, Kimora Lee Simmons, Kim Kardashian, and Issa Rae were chosen to share that intimate movement.
On Friday, October 20, Doja Cat became the latest celebrity to be serenaded by Usher. As an early birthday gift to her, Usher spotted her out of the crowd and made a beeline straight towards her. In video shared by a concertgoer, it appears that even though Doja was seated next to her rumored boyfriend, J. Cyrus, she didn’t hold back.
At first, Doja played coy to Usher’s advances, but as the crowd cheered her on, she went full-in. She eventually stood up to dance along with Usher as she sang the lyrics to the song.
Usher’s residency is slated to end soon, surely there will be more celebrity serenades.
