When her family first rose to fame in the 2000s, Kourtney Kardashian was dating Scott Disick – a man who caused her no shortage of grief during their on-again-off-again relationship that spanned for years. Now, she and the New Yorker have at least established a co-parenting schedule that allows them to raise Mason, Penelope, and Reign together while running their respective businesses and living separate lives. Thankfully, Kourt was rewarded later in life with her dream partner in the form of Travis Barker, who she recently welcomed a baby boy with.
Just days after giving birth to Rocky, Kardashian is celebrating her other half on his 48th birthday with a sweet social media tribute. Since they first went public with their romance, we’ve seen tons of PDA from the pair, so it’s no surprise that the maternity photos they captured together included some nudity. On Tuesday (November 14), the mother of four wrote, “To my husband, my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my daddy to our baby boy, my everything.”
“I wish you the happiest birthday,” the Poosh founder went on. “You make all of my dreams come true and I feel so blessed to have you by my side. I love you beyond words, forever.” Amid the comments full of hate, criticism, and jealousy, the Blink-182 drummer wrote back, “I love you forever my soulmate .”
On the topic of the Kardashian family, it’s interesting to see how Kourtney is so comfortably settling into being a first-time wife with a new baby while her younger sister, Kim, is finding her footing after divorcing Kanye West. As the former continues to spend time at home with Rocky and Travis, the latter landed on the cover of GQ‘s Man of the Year issue. Read part of what we learned from her accompanying interview at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Scorpio season has already begun, and it’s the time to celebrate some of the most notable R&B singers who were born during this time. Scorpios are known to be extremely driven and loyal. Moreover, they have an intensity that pushes them to achieve whatever they’ve set their sights on. This is evidently the case for the singers who were born between October 23 and November 21. From Ciara’s killer dance moves to Willow Smith’s incredible musical versatility, Scorpios are truly a talented bunch. As the season progresses, it’s paramount to recognize the brilliant Scorpio singers who have left their mark in the industry.
Monica is an undisputed R&B icon. Even before she was a teenager, her star power was already discovered. By the mid-90s, Monica became responsible for some seriously iconic R&B hits. She is truly deserving of her flowers, especially given that she paved the way for many prominent singers after her. Owing to her incredibly soothing voice, Monica has explored many other genres, including Hip Hop, Gospel, and even country music. She celebrated her 43rd birthday on October 24.
One of the most prolific singers and dancers of her generation, the Scorpio needs no introduction. Ciara is undeniably the face of the Crunk-RnB wave that defined the 2000s. Beyond that, Ciara was also responsible for pushing urban music’s mainstream appeal. Over the course of her multi-decade career, she has spawned numerous party and club hits. Her discography is also loaded with chart-topping tracks that have served to cement her legacy. The soon-to-be mother of four evidently hasn’t slowed down either and is still out-dancing some of the musical acts she inspired. She celebrated her 38th birthday on October 25.
From mixing potions in the lab to making music, Mariah the Scientist has had a unique rise to fame. She has also become quite popular for her emotional vulnerability and loyalty. In an interview with Complex, Mariah the Scientist revealed that her connection to the Scorpio sign is much deeper than most. Additionally, she likened herself to the sign’s scorpion and shared how it inspired her third album, To Be Eaten Alive. “A scorpion, at first glance, it’s more meek… You don’t really know what it’s capable of,” she said. “It can be poisonous and venomous; if you were to eat it, it would kill you. So to be eaten alive is really to kill.” She released the album today, on her 26th birthday.
Frank Ocean (October 28, 1987)
Frank Ocean is one of the most famous Scorpio singers in the world. Despite shying away from the spotlight, his catalog is a testament to his great talents. One of his most prominent qualities as a Scorpio is his emotional writing and singing style. Through his lyricism, Frank Ocean has built a devoted fandom, who adore the honesty and relatability of his craft. He turns 36 in 2023.
Willow Smith’s birthday falls on Halloween. In 2019, the “Whip My Hair” singer’s parents threw her an epic Halloween bash to commemorate the two-for-one celebration. Although she has always been in the public eye due to her famous parents, Willow has also carved out a lane for herself. Scorpio singers are often fiery and passionate in their craft and she’s no different. Her catalog is filled with many different genres, all of which she’s excelled at. She will celebrate her 23rd birthday in 2023.
SZA (November 8,1989)
Although SZA has been active in the music industry for over a decade, the 2020s have proved to be a gargantuan era in her career. With the release of her sophomore solo album, SOS, SZA became a record-breaking R&B artist. The album boasts the largest streaming week for an R&B album in America and is the longest-running number-one female album of the decade, having topped the charts over the course of 7 weeks.
One of the most famous Scorpio singers around, SZA has also fully embraced her sign on a number of occasions. On the subject of her single, “Love Galore,” she shared with Genius that she “just be wildin’ out,” attributing this quality to her sign. “I have a mean streak. And I’m a Scorpio,” she said. “So, it’s like if we go off and really go there to the point where I’m talking crazy, it’s like we’re probably never going to talk to each other again by the time I’m done. Because of me and my mouth.”
Davido (November 21, 1992)
Davido is one of the most famous singers to emerge from the African continent. Although he was born in Atlanta, Georgia, Davido was raised in Lagos, Nigeria. The Nigerian musician has long since created a number of Afro-RnB hits. Arguably one of the continent’s greatest exports, his music has been played in countries all over the world. He eventually achieved his international breakthrough in the mid-2010s. Additionally, his single, “Fall” was the first Afrobeat song to be certified gold in the United States. So far, he has collaborated with several prominent acts, including Chris BrownNicki Minaj, Lil Baby, and more. He will turn 31 in 2023.
In their music, the City Girls often rap about wreaking havoc in the lives of men with their salacious scamming antics. In real life, however, JT has long been boo’d up with fellow rapper Lil Uzi Vert. She even recently hinted at wanting them to put a wedding ring on her finger. As for Yung Miami, she’s spent over a year in a situationship with Diddy, despite him welcoming a baby with another woman.
Both women have spoken candidly about the ups and downs of their love lives through the years. Earlier this week, the City Girls sat down for a Complex interview. At the time, they discussed some of their romantic preferences. “GOAT zodiac sign to date?” Miami asked her partner in rhyme in the video below. “Sagitarrius, what?” the “Ex For A Reason” artist responded, despite the fact that Lil Uzi is a Leo. Clearly, JT sees herself as the prize, as she celebrates her birthday each year on December 3.
For her answer, the Caresha Please host (an Aquarius) revealed that she prefers to spend her time with Scorpios. “They womanizers,” Miami explained. Unsurprisingly, her “Act Bad” collaborator just so happens to fall under that sign, and he’s built a reputation for himself as a ladies’ man within the industry. Earlier this year, the mother of two confirmed that she and Diddy had put an end to their unique situation, only for her to attend the Met Gala on his arm shortly after.
Yung Miami may not publicly claim Sean Combs as her man, but still, she’s never been afraid to flaunt the ways in which he spoils her. Most recently, it was the Maybach he purchased for the City Girl back in 2022 that had her bragging about how good her “pu**y” is. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Last month, Moneybagg Yo shared an updated version of his fourth albumA Gangsta’s Pain with seven additional songs including a remix to “Wokesha” with Lil Wayne and Ashanti. The deluxe reissue provided more reasons to enjoy Moneybagg Yo’s most successful project as the original effort spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. Moneybagg continues his promotion of the deluxe for A Gangsta’s Pain with a brand new video for “Scorpio” with Ja’niyah. The visual is a nostalgic effort that finds the rapper sharing how he won the heart of a Scorpio.
The new video continues a streak of visuals that Moneybagg has released for tracks on A Gangsta’s Pain. His most recent release was a stern video for “Switches & Dracs” with Lil Durk and EST Gee which arrived after a laid-back effort for “One Of Them Nights” with Jhene Aiko. Elsewhere, Moneybagg lent his voice to a few of artists that include Meek Mill (“Hot”) and Belly (“Zero Love“). He’s also set to appear on the deluxe reissue of Polo G’s Hall Of Fame album on a track titled “Start Up Again.”
You can watch the video for “Scorpio” above.
