Smiley Returns With A New Single “Understand” Amid Potential Album Rollout

by

Smiley seems to catch a lot of strays online for not being the most thrilling talent on the OVO label. However, the Canadian act is encouraging those doubters to “#dontboxmein📦” This is a hashtag he’s been using quite frequently on his social media accounts, and it could mean something else. In the middle of September, the fifth-year rapper put out “Spill The Tea,” which was delivered in his exaggerated tone, along with his unique cadence and accent. It remains to be a divisive quality despite the fact that Drake has his back. In some cases, the co-sign is enough for some, especially when it comes to someone as big as The Boy. But we again go back to that “#dontboxmein” mantra. Smiley wants to make sure that no one belittles his abilities and that’s what he’s partially conveying on “Understand.”

It’s his newest release, and it might be teaser for a project that’s not officially in the works yet. That quote could be the title for it, but no one knows. However, it does help that Smiley packaged this track with “Spill The Tea.” On “Understand,” he’s making sure that people are aware that he’s a special artist and he’s lived/is living a one-of-a-kind life that most would dream for. The production on the track is ethereal and crisp, and the efforts can be attributed to Pooh Beatz. In terms of the flows, Smiley, is mixing auto-tuned singing with rapping, something he’s been doing for years now. It’s another fine addition to his still-growing catalog and one that we are sure he hopes will succeed. Check it out with the music video link below.

“Baddies East”: Chrisean Rock’s Sister Tesehki Wants To Battle Smiley For Seizure

by

Baddies East just found its new main arc for the season, which stems from a trip the girls took to Jamaica on the Zeus Network reality television show. Moreover, cast member Smiley appeared to have a medical emergency while they were hanging out, suffering a seizure allegedly due to too much alcohol. While this was a very serious situation on the episode, fans and other stars alike expressed skepticism over whether or not this was real. Whether or not this is an appropriate or respectful response is for you to decide. Regardless, it seems like tonight’s episode (Sunday, January 14) is ramping up the heat when it comes to this debate.

Furthermore, the new Baddies East episode promo for this week shows Chrisean Rock’s sister, Tesehki, wanting to fight Smiley for her illness. In the clip, you can see how she debates with other cast members about how she ruined the fun on the trip and was “scared,” which is why she allegedly “faked” the seizure. All in all, it’s a very tense and also combative situation considering previous beefs between the ladies. At least the teaser mostly shows people trying to call the Baltimore native down, so maybe she won’t end up slapping Smiley for the situation.

Still, this isn’t an easy accusation for anyone to deal with, especially after a vulnerable moment that should elicit support and empathy. This is what Smiley had to say concerning people calling her seizure fake, and she tearfully expressed herself in an overwhelmed fashion. “Y’all don’t know how this s**t feel, bro,” the Baddies East actress shared in a TikTok clip. “Y’all don’t know how I’m feeling, y’all didn’t see how this s**t feel, bro.

“I don’t even know what was going on,” she continued. “I did not know what the f**k was going on in this f***ing s**t. It was, like, I was so nervous for this s**t to come on. And then I’m seeing all these comments, and I have to sit here and watch this s**t? Bruh, my grandma, everybody is watching this, bruh, this s**t…” For more news and the latest updates on Baddies East, stick around on HNHH.

As the Baddies East crew continues their adventures in Jamaica, a long-standing plotline from the season appears to have returned. Teased in last week’s episode but focused on more in the episode released January 14, Smiley appears to suffer a seizure and is seen being placed into a wheelchair by medical personnel. The rest of the cast appear to be in shock, suggest that this is the main crux of tomorrow’s episode.

However, Smiley’s various issues over the season appear to be wearing on fans. However, not everyone was hyped by the preview. “Ain’t sh-t finna happen this episode fr they gone drag it till next week,” one person complained. “Smiley lied abt her miscarriage, she lied about the seizure, she lied abt her play in you getting jumped lmao at some point say you just simply don’t like her and go 😭,” added another. “Wasn’t Rollie the main one taking about Smiley fighting Mariah because she’s tiny. Now she’s fighting Mariah. 💆🏾‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️,” noted a third. Despite this, fans will have to tune into Sunday’s episode to see what really goes down in Jamaica.

Baddies East Fans Want Rollie Off The Show

However, the show’s drama isn’t only limited to the weekly episodes. A fan petition has emerged online, demanding the removal of cast member Rollie Pollie. Rollie is a divisive figure, known for her no-holds-barred attitude during physical confrontations with other cast members. At the time of writing, the Change.org petition has been signed over 80,000. With nearly 55,000 signatures on January 6 alone, it’s likely that fans were spurred by the latest episode trailer.

An earlier petition, that only received around 400 signatures, gave some fan reasoning as to why Rollie should be removed. The petition creator accuses Rollie of “consistently engaging in bullying behavior and acting with an air of superiority that is damaging to the community spirit.” The Zeus Network, on which Baddies airs, is yet to address the now-viral petition.

“Baddies East”: Smiley Responds To Cast & Fans Over “Fake” Medical Emergency

by

The cast of Baddies East recently went to Jamaica during the reality television show’s latest episode. Moreover, they obviously got into their fair share of fun, club outings, clashes, fights, and other antics that are the lifeblood of the program. However, one particular incident has many fans scratching their heads, whether it’s due to skepticism of to the veracity of it or shock at the idea that people would doubt such a thing. Furthermore, Smiley apparently had a medical emergency after taking three or four shots of alcohol that prompted a seizure and immediate transportation to the hospital for medical attention.

Still, there were a lot of people who doubted that this was real, and who suggested that Smiley faked this reaction. Not only that, but this didn’t only come from fans, but from fellow cast members on Baddies East such as Chrisean Rock’s sister Tesehki. Mariahlynn also said that this was likely an overreaction and that she was making a big fuss about it, and we know that the two don’t have the best of relationships. Overall, it seems like a lot of drama for something that, even if it was fake, should’ve been treated with all the respect and care in the world.

Speaking of which, Smiley took to social media to tearfully react to all these doubts and attacks in a new video. “Y’all don’t know how this s**t feel, bro,” she expressed in a clip that surfaced on TikTok. “Y’all don’t know how I’m feeling, y’all didn’t see how this s**t feel, bro. I don’t even know what was going on. I did not know what the f**k was going on in this f***ing s**t. It was, like, I was so nervous for this s**t to come on.

Smiley’s Response

Meanwhile, many fans, regardless of side, agreed that the Zeus Network show shouldn’t take advantage of her anymore. A similar initiative popped up recently, petitioning for Rollie Pollie to be kicked off the show. We’ll see what changes happen and what else develops for the crew.

New “Baddies” Episode Preview: All-Out Brawl With Sukihana, Smiley & More

by

Zeus Network’s Baddies East is seemingly getting more chaotic by the episode, and fans are eating it all up. Moreover, the preview for Sunday’s new episode (November 26) dealt with a couple of different narratives during its short length. Of course, a lot of these involve the scuffles and struggles with the cast members and people taking sides in these scuffles. One of them is a failed club outing out on the town, and another is their trip to New York. Even with just a small peek at what will go down this week, we can expect this hectic and wild energy to continue all throughout the rest of the season, and even escalate.

Furthermore, it looks like one of the big fights on this new Baddies episode will be between Sapphire and Mariah Lynn, who’s had her fair share of brawls leading up to this moment. Specifically, it seems like Sapphire wanted to fight for Lynn’s chain following a lot of animosity between her and other cast members. It’s unclear whether other forces played a part here, but we’ll tune in tomorrow to find out.

On the other hand, the Baddies preview also shows a fight between Sapphire, Sukihana (one of the crew’s new members), and Smiley, who actually didn’t want to fight at all. Regardless, tensions flared up because she claimed via social media that Suki and Sapphire jumped her, which they took issue with. Eventually, they all confronted each other about it, and they eschewed any claims of attacks and proved it to the cameras. After all, there’s no better way to back up a false claim than by making it true when you get the chance.

Jokes aside, one of the entertaining parts of this show (if you like this type of content, anyway) is seeing in just how many places these stars can duke it out. Not even go-kart tracks are safe from the chaos, and it makes for some wild moments. We’ll see what else this Sunday’s episode holds for fans, and how it’ll keep getting wilder. For more news and the latest updates on Baddies East, stay up to date on HNHH.

Smiley Is A Hood Ice Cream Man In His High-Energy ‘Eternals’ Video

by

OVO rapper Smiley continues to show off his immaculate beat selection on his new song “Eternals.” In the video for the new single, the Canadian rapper cruises in an ice cream truck full of twerking women while boasting his Drake co-sign and pushing his laconic flow to its limits. In a press release for the new video, he commented on his upgraded delivery, saying, “It’s that new Smiley, I took a way different approach with this record than I usually do.” While he points out that “most people think I only like the slow flow,” he says the track shows off his “ability to go on upper tempo beats. ”

Smiley’s been a bit of a fixture at UPROXX Studios over the past few months, dropping by to give a performance of his song “Grammy” on UPROXX Sessions and sharing his sneaker investment advice, inspired by the title of his mixtape, Buy Or Bye. While he says “bye” to Nike’s Ben & Jerry SB Dunks, Jordan’s Travis Scott AJ1s get a “buy” as do the Dior AJ1s. But the Air Mags, known for appearing in Back To The Future 2, were a “bye.”

You can watch Smiley’s “Eternals” video above.

Smiley is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
