Ever since Sexyy Red blew up with “Pound Town,” fans can’t help but speculate about the St. Louis rapper’s dating life. So far, she’s been linked to Drake, who some fans even connected to her second pregnancy, and more recently, her “Bow Bow Bow” collaborator, Chief Keef. She hasn’t done much to dispel either rumor; in fact, over the weekend, she threw fuel on the flames of the latter with a pair of provocative posts on Instagram.
In the first, she and the Chicago rapper appear to be flirtatiously embracing as she sticks her tongue out.
As fans in the comments questioned the nature of the duo’s relationship, Sexyy posted a video in which she and Keef hug up on each other as she insists, “That’s my brother.”
So does this mean that the two rappers are dating? Not necessarily, but for now, the jury is out. While she seems to enjoy teasing fans over her love life, she doesn’t have any interest in shutting down rumors the way she did a conspiracy theory about getting paid to hang out with Drake.
In any event, Sexyy appears to be enjoying her newfound fame. On Saturday, she hosted WWE’s NXT Battleground event in Las Vegas, and looked like she had the time of her life, interacting with the wrestlers, presenting the championship belt, and twerking her way throughout the facility.
Sexyy Red is one of hip-hop’s biggest exponents right now, and it’s no secret that the gap between her core fanbase and her casual hype-chasers is growing with this rise. Apparently, this led to an unfortunate situation at the Newark airport over the weekend, as authorities reportedly arrested her due to an altercation with fans and security. Moreover, one of the theories and allegations floating around online is that Chief Keef’s rumored boo confronted a fan for taking a non-consensual picture of her and her bodyguard. Also, it’s unknown whether officials also arrested other members of her entourage due to a video that she published online at around 5:30AM local time.
Furthermore, Sexyy Red let fans know that authorities released her from custody, presumably shortly after the incident, from a crowded vehicle. Also, she wrote the following message on her Instagram Story: “To the people that was in that altercation at the airport please dm me so I can replace yo phone !!” As such, we still don’t really know what went down with the St. Louis MC and whether or not this is fully accurate. Either way, she was quickly back online to show love to Drake’s IG, so it seems like things wrapped up pretty quickly if something actually caused a scuffle.

Of course, this could be a big roadblock for any artist, so hopefully this alleged situation doesn’t escalate further and already resolved itself. At least, once Sexyy Red replaces someone’s phone, that is. Elsewhere, though, she’s looking forward to applying more pressure this year through more moves and collaborations, including a teased one with the aforementioned Chief Keef. The “Grape Trees” duo has been filming a music video as of late, presumably for that very same collab.
With all this in mind, we can’t wait to see what else Sexyy Red does with her 2024 and we hope that it doesn’t involve any more contentious fan interactions or security issues. She’s very proud to be one of the hottest femcees out right now, and it’s a status that we’re sure she won’t let go of anytime soon. With a project and various other releases already set in stone, this stamp on the year is already established. We’ll see what else Sexyy adds to that repertoire.
Lists have become lighting rods of controversy. Music fans are still reeling from the outrage that was sparked by Apple Music’s 100 greatest albums of all time. Now, it’s Billboard’s turn. The outlet put out a ranking of the hottest female rappers right now, and unsurprisingly, the comment section was flooded with complaints and/or talking points. Some fans felt that it was incomplete, others felt it was ignoring less popular but more artistically ambitious rappers. Some were mad that Nicki Minaj claimed the top spot.
To be fair, Minaj laid the groundwork for the rest of the rappers on the list. She’s also had a resurgence in the last year, thanks to a number one single and a record-breaking tour. Nicki Minaj is as big as a female rapper can get, according to the stats, and that’s not even taking her huge influence into account. Cardi B, GloRilla, and Doja Cat have all cited Minaj as an inspiration on their own style. GloRilla went as far as to say Minaj gets too much hate considering all the doors she opened for female rappers. Be that as it may, rappers like Sexyy Red and Megan Thee Stallion have had meteoric rises in recent years. They place at number two and three, respectively. Doja Cat and Ice Spice round out the top five, despite the former being more of a singer/pop star historically.
As some fans have pointed out, though, Doja Cat has had way more success than Megan or Sexyy Red. She’s scored multiple number one singles as a featured and solo artist, and her albums sell significantly more than everybody else on the list. “Why TF is Megan higher than Doja,” asked one user, which was a sentiment shared by another: “Lol in no world is Meg better than Doja.” Others felt that Megan should be at the top of the list. There were fans who believed Sexyy Red has had the most eyes on her in 2024, and therefore is most deserving of the “hottest” title. “Sexy [sic] is clearly the hottest out,” one IG user wrote.
Then the attention turned to commissions. The missing name that really rubbed fans the wrong way was Rapsody. The North Carolina native is the most respected female rapper working today, and she just put out another acclaimed album, Please Don’t Cry, in May. “No Rapsody is an automatic ignore,” one IG user posited. “Rapsody is LIGHT years better than this entire list,” another wrote. “No shade tho.” Other huge names who were thrown out as being worthy for consideration were Che Noir, Lola Brooke and Kamaiyah. What do you think of the Billboard list? Who got snubbed, and who was placed too high?
Sexyy Red has the summer on lock with her hit single, “Get It Sexyy.” As the song has gone viral, Sexyy has become a household name, and as her star rises, she has one mission — to Make America Sexyy Again.
While everyone can get behind the idea of making America “Sexyy,” most fans aren’t exactly thrilled about the delivery. Sexyy’s slogan sounds very much similar to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” Her performance at Roots Picnic 2024 last week sparked some more controversy, when she performed in front of a giant red hat, which read “Make America Sexyy Again.”
After some buzz online, Sexyy took to Twitter to offer clarification and distance herself from Trump.
“It’s Sexyy Red 4 President,” she said. “I’m my own candidate I’m not endorsing anybody period.”
While fans appreciated the clarification, it’s not hard to understand why some may have been confused.
Last October, Sexyy vocalized her support for Trump on comedian Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast.
“I like Trump,” she said. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. At first I don’t think people was f*cking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little sh*t against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”
Sexyy Red is still on a dominant run, giving fans yet another energetic performance at The Roots’ Picnic Festival in Philadelphia over the weekend. Moreover, she ran through her steadily-building catalog of raunchy bangers, and the crowd seemed to be having a great time all throughout. In fact, one of the clips down below shows folks dancing to the music while very far away from the stage. In addition, the “U My Everything” MC showed off her dance crew, “Da Sexettz,” in an Instagram clip linked down below as well. All we can hope for is that she sustains this hype, work ethic, and lightning-in-a-bottle quality far beyond what her haters attempt to reach as far as her success.
Furthermore, it’s been a very eventful year for Sexyy Red so far on all fronts, and this continues her breakout 2023 in full swing. But things haven’t just been busy on the music release front: there have also been plenty of viral moments and antics to enjoy, discuss, or raise eyebrows at. One recent example was when she gave money to a homeless man, which of course prompted some debate over the sensitivity of recording and flaunting this. Many seemed to conclude that a good deed is a good deed, and after all, we have seen celebrities actually miss the mark in this regard.
In addition, there’s a big possibility that Sexyy Red has even more on the way for 2024. For example, Lil baby recently teased an upcoming collab with her that sounds a little more mellow and chilly than their previous link-up off this year’s In Sexyy We Trust, “Lick Me.” As for the Atlanta MC, he has a big comeback to make for fans who expressed disappointment with his 2022 album, It’s Only Me. Maybe this is what starts to fuel that fire again, but only time will tell.
Meanwhile, even the WWE can’t deny Sexyy Red’s greatness, as she recently joined the NXT event for the women’s category. It was a really cool moment to see, as there are always notable pop culture crossovers that can not necessarily elevate, but definitely present an artist’s profile as more versatile. If nothing else, we’re sure it was a big and well-earned check. We’ll see what else the Hood Hottest Princess gifts us in 2024, and what other performances get the crowd rowdy.
Lil Baby has some more heat on the way in 2024, it seems, and it’s with none other than one of the biggest artists of the past few years. Moreover, he recently took to social media to tease his verse on a new Sexyy Red collab, a link-up that has a lot of potential to impress. They previously collaborated on “Lick Me,” one of the raunchier cuts (and that’s saying something) off of Sexyy’s recent project, In Sexyy We Trust. In addition, this also builds up some more anticipation for whatever the Atlanta rapper is dropping next, as it’s been a while since his last solo studio album.
Furthermore, Lil Baby might have a lot of “mid” claims running around right now, but there’s definitely still plenty of gas in the tank for doubters to hop on board. So far in 2024, he’s built his name off of some notable collabs, including the aforementioned Sexyy Red team-up and the Central Cee-assisted “BAND4BAND.” That cut saw Baby tap into the drill scene with a bit more aggression, something that we might see a little more of in the near future. Either way, we just want some hard bars and flows, and we know that he’s got the capacity to deliver.
Apart from that Lil Baby collab, Sexyy Red also has a big year to look forward to, with plenty of hot releases and performances under her belt already in 2024. In Sexyy We Trust was a hit for many fans, and it’s clear that this focus on her image and brand will yield dividends in the long run. It’s a very different approach to that of other artists, as the St. Louis MC always stays in her lane. Rather than come off as one-note or gimmicky, it feels much more authentic and raw that one might expect on first listen.
Meanwhile, with a WWE NXT appearance to boot, there’s no telling where Sexyy Red will go next. As for Lil Baby, he’s got a chance to really make a strong comeback and disprove some narratives about him. Whether or not he follows up on that in 2024 or a little later remains a mystery. But one thing’s for sure: they might strike gold with this upcoming collab.
Iggy Azalea broke through as a rap superstar about a decade ago with a string of hits elevating her to stardom. “Fancy,” “Black Widow,” and Ariana Grande’s Iggy-featuring song “Problem” were all huge hits in quick succession. Similarly, Sexyy Red had a breakthrough year in 2023. “Pound Town 2,” “Skee Yee,” and “Rich Baby Daddy” all became huge hits in the span of just a few months. The pair are also both pretty controversial among rap fans for their respective styles and big personalities. But now Iggy is borrowing some new material from Red to promote her newest venture into the world of cryptocurrency.
“lets get to work! $MOTHER” a recent tweet Azalea made reads. It was posted alongside a quick video of her showing off her twerking skills assisted by some of Sexyy Red’s music. $MOTHER is Iggy’s new crypto project. It’s a so called “memecoin” that seems to be getting some surprising second looks from those in the crypto community. It can’t hurt doing a little promotion for the coin with something fans are guaranteed to pay attention to. Check out the tweet itself and some of the fan reactions to it below.
Her tweet currently sits with over 67k likes. It’s one of a number of posts she’s made about the cryptocurrency today in addition to retweeting tons of fans mentioning it. Around the start of 2024 Iggy claimed that she was retiring from music entirely. While that’s something that musicians claim often, fans actually believed Iggy and she’s stuck to it. Her most recent release is still the single “Money Come” which dropped in August of last year. Since then she seems to have spent most of her time with her crypto venture while also trolling her ex Playboi Carti on social media regularly.
What do you think of Iggy Azalea showing off her twerking as a tactic to promote her new cryptocurrency? Do you believe she’s actually shifting away from music to focus entirely on other ventures? Let us know in the comment section below.
Drake is giving out features to all the ladies. After popping up on Sexyy Red’s latest mixtape, Drake will lend his talents to Camila Cabello.
Speaking with Billboard, Cabello revealed that The Boy will be on two singles from her forthcoming album, spawned by their time in Turks & Caicos.
“I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
“He wanted to do one more thing for the album,” Cabello said. “Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his shit.”
Drake
With a new look, new music and “big baddie energy,” @Camila_Cabello is reinventing herself
Taking it back to Big Sexxy, the St. Louis spitter connected with the Toronto legend on her new In Sexyy We Trust mixtape. A fan online asked if sexual favors were being exchanged for Drake features, to which Sexxy replied, “Yes.”
Now, it could be a troll from Sexxy. She will give fans that energy. You can see it below, courtesy of HipHopDX.
Drake has dropped his first post-beef bars. And guess what? They are over the BBLDrizzy beat.
Drake appears on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything” single, and the beat transitions into Metro Boomin’s diss beat. Flipping it in his favor, Drake raps, “BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it.”
Sexyy Red’s incredible musical journey, from the underground to the spotlight, has been nothing short of captivating. From “Pound Town” to “SkeeYee,” she has been heavy on rotation in the past year. Her new mixtape, In Sexyy We Trust, is a bold, provocative, and unapologetic project. It’s another club-ready project, picking up from 2023’s Hood Hottest Princess. This time, however, she attempts to raise the stakes.
Released on May 24, 2024, Sexyy Red’s latest project is a 14-track invitation into a hedonistic, energetic world, where playful vulgarity meets rhythmic beats. She explores themes of self-empowerment, sexuality, and independence, creating a mixtape that celebrates femininity, freedom of expression, and breaking societal norms. Sexxy has always been known for her explicit lyrics, and the mixtape showcases a fusion of sexuality, confidence, and humorous storytelling. In summary, it’s pretty much what you would expect from her.
The beats on In Sexyy We Trust definitely push a few boundaries. Tay Keith and Drumatized, the executive producers, create a sonic experience that oscillates between trap and Memphis rap. Tay Keith, in particular, would praise Sexyy Red’s authenticity in his April 2024 interview with Billboard. He spoke about how much their genuine sibling-like relationship fuels the creative process for their collabs, saying, “She is just raw. It’s just authentic.” This is best exemplified in “Sport,” a track that stands out with its minimalist production, allowing Sexyy Red’s vocals to shine. These beats are the mixtape’s backbone, even when they venture into uncharted territory.
In Sexyy We Trust is chock full of features. Sexyy Redd’s collaborations with artists like VonOff1700, Drake, and Lil Baby add depth and diversity to the album. Moreover, they amplify the album’s musicality and appeal including Southern influences, like Project Pat, Juicy J, and Gucci Mane. But this doesn’t always work out as planned.
Drake’s appearance on “U My Everything” raises eyebrows. His verse is a complete antithesis to Sexxy Red’s mild attempts. To top it off, the abrupt switch from the captivating beat to his “BBL Drizzy” portion disrupts the song’s cohesion. In this one instance, Sexyy Red’s allure as an upcoming solo act has no need for a superstar featured hit bait. Nonetheless, they have evidently accepted their roles as Hip Hop’s latest pairing.
Sexyy Red Is At Her Most Lethal
The mixtape starts with three distinct songs. There’s “Tim Talking,” a bold energetic intro, which leads into “She’s Back,” a track that vibrates with inexplicable intensity, and “Boss Me Up,” where Tay Keith’s piano melodies amp up Sexyy Redd’s assertive verses. Sexuality is a prominent theme throughout the album, with tracks like “Lick Me” and “Boss Me Up” embracing provocative and explicit language. These songs also challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes, portraying a sense of sexual liberation and agency.
A standout from the entire EP is “Outside,” which features a melodic fusion of vibraphones and hi-hats, courtesy of Mike WiLL Made-It. A boundary-pushing track, “Outside,” distinguishes itself with its innovative vocal edits. These are undoubtedly reminiscent of M.I.A’s dynamic style. The song is further enhanced by unexpected vocal interjections that surprisingly yet brilliantly set the stage for an electrifying beat drop. This sensual narrative also continues with “Sport,” a defiant anthem that precedes the swagger-filled “TTG (Go).”
Normally, Sexyy Red’s unique inflections usually set her apart. However, on this mixtape, they occasionally falter. Her disjointed delivery in certain tracks disrupts the flow altogether. While this could be a stylistic choice, it doesn’t always stick to the landing. For example, In Sexyy We Trust seems to suffer from repetition sickness. Some tracks blend into one another, leaving listeners yearning for more variety. The mixtape sometimes feels half-baked, like a rushed creation. With more time and focus, Sexyy Red could have elevated it beyond its current sporadic state. However, capitalizing on her increasing popularity is a notable accomplishment, especially since the EP undoubtedly has its high moments.
An Undeniable, Infectious Energy
When it’s all said and done, In Sexxy We Trust is inarguably a bold and unapologetic album that pushes boundaries, challenges norms, and celebrates individuality. The album’s overarching themes of confidence, sexuality, and resilience make it a standout piece in the contemporary rap scene. This in turn solidifies Sexyy Red as a rising gem in the music industry. Nobody can deny the infectious nature of her work, which will find its way to the depths of most clubs in the country. Her brash delivery and boastful lyrics echo the crunk era, evoking memories of sweaty club nights and bass-heavy speakers.
This week’s episode of NXT television featured a special appearance by rapper Sexyy Red, who made a significant impact with multiple segments throughout the show. The episode’s highlight was Sexyy Red’s announcement that she will be the guest host for the upcoming Battleground premium live event scheduled for Sunday, June 9, 2024, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
But after, Sexyy sang with Shawn Michaels in the back of a car.
General Manager Ava welcomed Sexyy Red in the opening segment, where the rapper excitedly shared her role at the Battleground event. Her energetic presence set the tone for the announcement, creating buzz and anticipation among fans.
In addition to revealing her hosting duties, Sexyy Red was key in unveiling the new women’s North American championship title. She proudly paraded the belt around the ring, holding it high above her head to the audience’s cheers. This segment highlighted the championship and emphasized the significance of her involvement in the event.
Sexyy Red’s appearance on NXT added a unique flair to the episode and generated excitement for the upcoming Battleground event. Her dual role as guest host and championship presenter promises to bring extra entertainment and star power to the premium live event, making it a highly anticipated occasion for wrestling fans.
