Boosie Badazz’s Controversial New Track “Letter To The LGBT” Prompts Mixed Reactions

by

Last week, Boosie Badazz took to social media to tease his new track, which he dubbed “Letter To The Gays” at the time. The song is part of his new album Russia, which he unveiled in full yesterday (June 25). As expected, the short snippet he shared resulted in some mixed reactions from listeners. He’s no stranger to having hot takes on the LGBTQIA+ community, and the lyrics certainly reflect that. They include references to gender affirmation surgery, transgender women in competitive sports, and more.

The full version of the track is officially out, though he’s tweaked its title slightly. It’s now called “Letter To The LGBT.” It’s unclear exactly why he changed the title, though it’s possible he was trying to be a bit more inclusive. Either way, it has social media users split.

Boosie Badazz Unveils New Album Russia

While some think that Boosie is speaking facts, many think the song is pretty offensive, and are begging him to just stop bringing up the LGBTQIA+ community altogether. Others argue that he seems to be taking a step in the right direction, though his execution might need some work if he really wants to make peace with those who have different opinions than him.

For example, he mentions not having any “hate” for the LGBTQIA+ community and says that he hopes they don’t have any hate for him. He also says that he’s not trying to offend anyone, though he almost certainly did. This seems to be an attempt at reconciling with the people he may have offended in the past, though whether or not it was effective is up for debate.

Chance The Rapper’s New Single “Stars Out” Leaves Fans With High Expectations For Upcoming Album

by

Chance The Rapper fans have been looking forward to a new project from the hitmaker for years now, and it finally looks like one is on the horizon. Earlier today, he unveiled his brand new single, “Stars Out.” The track arrived alongside a minimalistic accompanying music video, and so far, fans are impressed. It’s expected to appear on his upcoming album, Star Line Gallery, which he officially announced in April of this year.

Listeners sharing their reactions to the new single on social media, revealing that it’s given them high hopes for the rest of the album. “Stars Out” follows Chance’s single “Buried Alive,” which he also unleashed back in April. That similarly had fans looking forward to hearing what else he has to offer on his next LP, and anticipating a major comeback for the Chicago artist.

Star Line Gallery does not yet have an official release date, though he originally announced that it would drop in Spring of this year. It’s too late for that now, however, fans still expect it to arrive sometime in 2024. Hopefully, it’ll be released sooner rather than later.

“Todays the day yall,” one post gaining traction on X begins. “We all gotta stick together it’s gonna be a sh*tshow. Regardless it’s team Drake for life.” Clearly, Drizzy’s followers are under the impression that the upcoming show will be perceived as yet another L for the Toronto hitmaker. It’s obviously up for debate whether or not this is true. Either way, his fans are getting roasted for it online.

“Yall acting like this is Thanos coming to Wakanda,” one critical commenter writes. “Calm down nothing is gonna change.” Another simply says, “Pull yourself together.” Countless other commenters are also chiming in with jokes about how the show isn’t anything to be taken too seriously. After all, the damage seems to have already been done, and most think there’s little that could happen now to change anything.

Metro Boomin Gets Clowned Into Oblivion For Celebrating Private Twitter Likes

by

Recently, Twitter/X announced that moving forward, all likes on the platform will be kept private. This means that now, the only users who will be able to see if someone likes a post will be its author and the user who liked it. The platform says the change was made in order to “better protect your privacy,” and to boost engagement as users can now freely like the content they want to see more of without fear of other users knowing what they’re up to. The change has prompted mixed reactions so far, with most agreeing that it will make the user experience worse. Others, like Metro Boomin, couldn’t be happier.

The producer shared his take on the update with his followers on the platform earlier today. “Likes finally private,” he wrote alongside a series of fire emojis. Clearly, he can’t wait to take full advantage of his newfound privacy. As a result, however, fans are now hounding him with questions and jokes about what he could be trying to hide.

“Tf you plottin?” one Twitter user wonders in his comments section. Another asks, “Why are you happy about it?” Of course, Twitter’s latest change comes only days after the platform announced that pornographic content will be officially permitted under its updated policy.

Now, users are in the clear to post what they want so long as it’s “properly labeled and not prominently displayed.” Plenty of fans also think this could have something to do with Metro Boomin’s enthusiasm. This is unconfirmed, though some have already dubbed him “Freaky Boomin.”

J Cole Fans Think He’s Redeemed Himself With New Tems Collab “Free Fall”

by

Today, Tems unleashed her eagerly anticipated debut album, Born In the Wild. So far, fans are impressed, and praising the Nigerian songstress for her work on social media. The 18-track project includes two features from the likes of Asake and J Cole. Cole’s feature in particular, “Free Fall,” is getting a ton of attention online.

Countless users are commending him for his verse, calling it just what he needed to recover from a rough month. Of course, his guest spot on the track comes after he teamed up with Cash Cobain for “Grippy” in May. The song earned him a great deal of clowning for his NSFW and arguably cringe bars, which left some theorizing that he was on his way out.

“Free Fall” has many fans singing a different tune, however, and demanding that he tap into this side of his artistry more moving forward. “This Tems and J Cole collaboration is going to sweep the Grammys,” one fan writes on Twitter/X. “Tems Free fall ft J.cole has to be one of the best features that has been released so far this year,” someone else says.

Others are even crediting Tems for saving Cole’s career by breaking the “curse” left behind by his last collab. Unsurprisingly, there are also a few select critics arguing that Cole’s verse is “boring.” Most agree, however, that it fits in well with the overall tone of the song.

Lizzo’s Wild Tree-Inspired Met Gala Dress Leaves Social Media Users Split

by

The 2024 Met Gala brought about countless head-turning celebrity looks, but not all of them were well-received by fans. This year’s theme was “The Garden of Time,” a 1962 short story by J.G. Ballard. Of course, the carpet was flooded with florals, though some stars opted for a less obvious approach. Lizzo, for example, went as a tree.

The “Juice” performer stunned in a nude gown by Paris-based label Weinsanto, complete with leaf-like pops of pink, purple, and gold. Her look also featured a bold headpiece, which is arguably the most controversial element of the look. Its unique silhouette is also a hot topic of debate, as it seemed to have made her journey across the carpet noticeably difficult.

Lizzo’s 2024 Met Gala Look

While some social media users are now comparing Lizzo to Groot, others think her headpiece more closely resembled a cone that a dog would wear home from the vet. Many are also likening the look to a lampshade, a basketball hoop, a used coffee filter, and more. Luckily, not everyone has something negative to say about the eye-catching gown. Several supporters are showing love to the “Good As Hell” artist for the fun fit, and arguing that it was perfectly on-theme.

Lizzo took to social media last night to share some photos from the evening, showing off the awe-inspiring dress and accompanying headpiece. “IF IM NOT IN UR BEST DRESSED UR FATPHOBIC,” she joked in her caption. “Girl, this was not it. I love you though,” one fan commented. “I actually really love this!” another wrote. “And would love to know the story behind the look.”

Lil Uzi Vert’s Bold Coachella Performance Has Social Media Users Split

by

Lil Uzi Vert is certainly no stranger to turning heads, and their latest appearance at Coachella was no exception. Yesterday, the hitmaker graced the stage at the California music fest, delivering hit after hit in a showstopping red fit. They rocked a bright red crop top with dramatic shoulder accents, which they paired with a pair of matching pants, red sneakers, and a Kelly Birkin bag. Unfortunately, however, not everyone was a fan. Countless social media users are weighing in on the bold look, and performance as a whole, and many aren’t feeling it.

Of course, much of this is due to the fact that Uzi’s look and onstage antics were a serious departure from what fans have come to expect from most rappers. It’s clear that Uzi’s feeling themself as of late, and is growing increasingly comfortable expressing themself to the fullest extent.

While many commenters are mostly concerned with Uzi’s outfit, others are outraged by some of their suggestive dance moves. At one point in the set, they dropped down to the floor and began humping the air. They’re facing similar criticism to that they received for last weekend’s set when they vogued onstage.

Luckily, several of Uzi’s fans are coming to their defense, and think the show was incredible. “What is Lil Uzi Vert doing at Coachella man we want 2016 Uzi back,” one critical Twitter/X user says of their performance. A supporter writes, “[THEY] SUCH A BADDIE.”

Usher Fans Hate His “Absurd” Puffer Hat

by

It goes without saying that Usher is a fashion icon, but one of his latest looks has fans riled up, to say the least. Earlier this week, the R&B performer popped out for an appearance on Posted on the Corner in Atlanta, rocking an oversized puffer snapback. After images of Usher in the hat surfaced online, social media users were quick to react, making it clear that they’re not here for it.

Usher paired the controversial piece with a bright blue sweater and a denim jacket, though it’s tough to focus on anything but the hat. It’s speculated to be from MMY (Maison Mihara Yasuhiro), though this is unconfirmed. While the beige version of the hat is sold out across various sites, a black version is currently going for up to $300.

Usher Pops Out In Interesting Hat

Sadly, most fans weighing in on Usher’s puffer hat agree that it’s a “no.” There are a few loyal fans who can appreciate the unconventional style, however, with some even asking about where they can get one of their own. Usher has yet to address the controversy, but he has posted several clips from his and the hat’s evening on his Instagram Story today.

“Usher really had on a puffer jacket SnapBack hat. That’s absurd,” one Twitter/X user says of the statement piece. Another simply writes, “Usher’s hat really pissed me off.” It’s to be seen whether or not he will address the hilarious outcry at any point, and if he’ll stand by his fashion choices.

Kim Kardashian Bikini Photos Have Us Pondering Why She’s Diving In Shallow Water

by

If we’re being honest, there’s nothing revolutionary about a new bikini photo from Kim Kardashian – the socialite did become famous from her sex tape with Ray J, after all. Still, she’s consistently posted her toned swimsuit body over the years and continues to look picture-perfect even into her 40s thanks to her tireless hours spent in the gym. On Wednesday (April 17), Kardashian’s Instagram followers got to swipe through a new photo dump captured on her Turks and Caicos vacation. The post is raising eyebrows, but likely not for reasons you might expect.

Rather than flaunting her bodacious bod on land in a tiny two-piece, the black-haired beauty was enjoying herself in the water, wearing black thong-cut bottoms and a white tank, tied to show her slim waist. In the second photo, Kardashian stands in water that’s only up to her knees but poses as if she’s diving into the shallow pool in front of her. Other images show the reality starlet fully submerged into the blue waves and ringing out her hair. Of course, trolls in the comments can only focus on one thing.

A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian)

“Why is she diving in knee-deep water?” one person asked, earning thousands of likes. “Diving into less than 2 feet of water? Mother 😍,” another quipped. Elsewhere, others cracked jokes about the episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, when Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean and had a meltdown until it was luckily recovered by her little sister, Kylie Jenner.

Perhaps Kim Kardashian’s latest photo dump was a hint that she’s ready to “dive” back into the dating world. After a brief rumoured fling with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., the mother of four is reportedly single again. Since divorcing Kanye West she also spent seven months romancing Pete Davidson but has yet to find a serious partner worth pursuing in the long-term.

Were Lil Baby & Dreezy At Coachella Together? Internet Investigators Think So

by

The first round of Coachella 2024 is complete. Headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator, and Doja Cat went above and beyond to entertain audiences. There’s still more to be enjoyed this coming weekend. Before that, social media sleuths are unpacking all the new content making its way onto Instagram. Specifically, some of them think that Lil Baby and Dreezy might be spending time together after they appeared to be at the same house while attending the festival.

On Monday (April 15), the My Turn artist shared a new photo dump from Coachella, captioned, “Told My Mama Ain’t No Mo Getting Put Out 🙌🏽.” Just hours later, Dreezy posted a video with a similar background to her IG Story, immediately raising eyebrows. “He was helping her with the groceries,” one user joked, referencing Lil Meech’s excuse when he was seemingly caught cheating on Summer Walker. “He like them dark skin and petite, it makes me sad but I respect it 😂,” another said, speculating what Baby’s type might be.

Interestingly, it was only a few days ago that the Atlanta-based star was outside with his co-parent, Jayda Cheaves. Those two have a notably rocky relationship history, with the influencer previously suggesting that giving Baby another chance to win her over left her feeling metaphorically “shot” from all the emotional turmoil she had to endure.
