Jaden’s MSFTrep Collection Inspired By Will Smith’s “Fresh Prince” Sunflower

by

As the child of two Hollywood powerhouses, Jaden Smith pulls from his parents’ experiences as inspiration. As a teen, he partnered with his sister Willow to establish their own fashion brand. MSFTrep has pushed the envelope, much like his family often has, and the brand—also co-founded by actors Moises and Mateo Arias—is boasted as being a place for misfits to find a shelter of sorts.

We’ll get a further look at MSFTrep’s next installment sometime this month, and in an interview with Footwear News, Jaden spoke on being inspired by his father’s famed sitcom for the launch. While of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith donned a sunflower costume in an earlier season, which was a look that has gone down in history. The “Trippy Summer” collection will also reportedly feature “bright psychedelic colors, twisted fonts, and nods to nature.”

“I wanted to make people into plants and turn people into flowers. Because being one with nature is like reaching the highest level of consciousness,” said Jaden. In the Fresh Prince episode, Will was forced to dress up and perform with children in order to graduate from high school. He made the best of it and turned the production into a Hip Hop show—of sorts.

“It was super embarrassing for his character in the episode, but I thought it was an amazing idea of how to turn someone into a flower,” Jaden also shared. His collection doesn’t mimic his dad’s TV look, but it does serve as a generational connection. From one successful Smith to the next, one of Will’s best Fresh Prince memories lives on.

Although Jaden is close with his family, he also recognized at an early age that he wanted to remove himself from being boxed in. “I separated myself from everything that I’d known at the time and caught a different vibe,” he further said. “I needed that time to really have those solo thoughts and to think about stuff. It was a big part of me being who I am today.” Check out more from MSFTrep below.

Lil Durk’s Lakers Game Look Has Twitter Clowning Him

by

Like most male rappers, Lil Durk obviously prides himself on having a unique wardrobe. Previously, he collaborated with Marc Jacobs on a campaign that found him modelling alongside Bella Hadid. He’s also been known to spend a fortune on designer jewelry and outfits. However, not all of them have earned a seal of approval from his fans.

Most recently, the father of six made waves with the outfit he donned while sitting courtside at the Lakers game earlier this week. While the basic elements of his look aren’t so bad, an over-the-top addition to the front of his sweater has the internet questioning how comfortable he was. For his night out on the town, Durk markedly paired black leather pants and boots with a grey mohair sweater.

Across his chest, the 7220 hitmaker surprisingly wore a broken skateboard. Both halves of it accordingly mark a V-shape in the middle of his shirt. He also layered several chains around his neck, and at times throughout the night, put on a balaclava over his face in the crowd. It remains unclear where Durk purchased the controversial sweater from, but social media hasn’t been shy about expressing their distaste for it.

No Jumper later reposted photos of the lyricist to their Instagram feed writing, “Rich people will wear anything if it’s designer.” In the comments, many were quick to clown Durkio for his bold outfit. “POSER!!! He don’t even skate,” one person pointed out. Another added, “Wear anything their handlers tell them to wear.”

Meanwhile, on Elon Musk’s app, the conversation has been largely the same. “Bro got the Walmart skateboard on his mom’s sweatshirt,” one troll joked this afternoon. “People who let you walk out the crib in this and tell you that your fit looks fire ain’t really your friends,” another circulating tweet says.

Flo Milli Seemingly Flaunts Her Breast Augmentation In New Selfies

by

At just 23 years old, Flo Milli has achieved far more than most others her age can dream of – and she’s only just getting started. In 2020, she firstly shook things up with her debut project, Ho, why is you here?. The 12-track effort undoubtedly helped skyrocket the southern rapper to fame thanks to titles like “Beef FloMix” and “In The Party.”

She’s continued to progress since then, and last year, the Alabama native was ready to share her first studio album with the world. You Still Here, Ho? landed last summer, featuring appearances from Rico Nasty and BabyFace Ray. Standout tracks from that include “Roaring 20s,” “Big Steppa,” and finally, “Conceited,” which recently received the remix treatment.

Aside from tantalizing audiences with her music, Milli has also been capturing their attention with thirst traps as of late. On her Instagram feed last week, the “Not Friendly” hitmaker encouraged her 1.1 million followers to “get [them] a [her]” in a series of leather-clad sultry snapshots. The photo sump saw a close-up of a belly button ring reading, “Rich N*ggas Only,” as well as an ample preview of the rising starlet’s underboob.

She’s never shied away from putting her petite figure on display before, but her new photos have fans talking about Milli’s seemingly enhanced chest. On Twitter, she only sparked more breast augmentation rumours with a series of flirtatious selfies in a low-cut crop top that chiefly find her bust taking centre stage. “Flo no,” one person wrote of the rapper’s plastic surgery in the replies. “They look good as hell though,” the same user later admitted.

“There’s at least…….Two things different about Flo……I just can’t put my fingers on ’em,” another fan expertly teased the fashionista. “Surgeons need medals,” someone else chimed in, praising the doctor responsible for FM’s new appearance. Of course, she hasn’t confirmed the procedure herself just yet, though she did address the love she’s been getting in a separate post. “I love how hard Flo Military goes for me,” she wrote on Thursday (February 9).

Fivio Foreign Clowned For Wearing Viral MSCHF Red Boots

by

Drip is pretty important for any rapper these days, as a clean fit could get you more attention than a decent single. However, many MCs try very hard to stand out, and that experimentation leads to mixed results. Moreover, people are clowning Fivio Foreign for wearing the viral red boots from MSCHF. You know, the ones that look like Astro Boy’s legs. Anyways, he showed off the kicks in a TikTok video dancing to YN Jay’s “Perc & Sex” with his friends. The video posted on Wednesday (February 8) quickly caught some hilarious reactions on social media.

Furthermore, one Twitter user wrote “Nah he ain’t from Brooklyn no more my son from the #universalcircus” with a laughing emoji. Another added, “Everytime I see these boots all I think about is Mario bros and yoshi and hear the boing boing sound.” Still, a few people were nice enough to compliment his overall fit. He wore a black leather jacket and black pants, with a whole lot of red on his feet. “The boots are definitely ugly but they look cute with his outfit.” Even though these boots are all over social media, only a few see the vision in favor of ridiculing it.

“What kills me about celebrities is that if something gets enough hype on social media, you’ll see them wearing it, ugly or not,” a tweeter expressed. “Why the f**k is Brooklyn n***a Fivio Foreign in them Pacman/Astroboy/Boots The Monkey ass boots? No matter how you dress it, ITS UGLY. Rih can’t save it.” Despite the backlash, it’s likely that Fivio won’t break a sweat and will continue to wear whatever he pleases. Most recently at the Grammys, he wore an all-pink ensemble with a fur-lined coat, sneakers, and sunglasses to boot.

Meanwhile, the drill icon’s already started his year off hot. For example, just a few weeks ago, he dropped “Notice Me” with a few rising drill stars. Moreover, these are Tata, Jenn Carter, and Kyle Richh. Given that Fivio’s already established, it’s heartening to see him reach out to that next generation of stars. Only time will tell what will happen when they ask him for fashion advice. Regardless, let us know what you think of Fivio Foreign’s big red boots in the comments.

Rihanna’s New York Wax Figure Recreates Her 2018 Met Gala Look

by

This Black History month, Rihanna is making her presence felt in more ways than one. Not only is the Bad Gal due to perform during halftime at the upcoming Super Bowl this weekend, but she’s also got a new wax figure that made its debut in New York City earlier this week. Of course, this isn’t her first time being brought to life by the visionaries over at Madame Tussauds. However, it is arguably the most iconic outfit we’ve seen her in.

As Billboard notes, the historic museum shared the news on Tuesday (February 7). This time around, we’ll see the 34-year-old wearing her gown from the 2018 Met Gala. She co-chaired the party alongside Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace, and Amal Clooney. The event’s theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, and wore an elaborate design by Margiela.

Her look consisted of a beaded corset minidress and a matching robe. For accessories, Rihanna donned an unmissable crucifix necklace and a papal bishop’s hat. To this day, the glamorous outfit is still a favourite – as are countless other past Met Gala fashion statements made by the ANTI singer.

On Wednesday (February 8), Madame Tussauds New York unveiled the new wax figure. It now lives in the museum’s Glow Gala Room. The LED lights hidden throughout her clothing allow Rih to perfectly fit in with the neon-themed section. In a statement, manager Joerg Hanel explained his excitement over the new statue.

“Rihanna is sure to make history with her upcoming live show this Sunday,” he gushed. “The timing is perfect for us to reveal her new figure exclusively at Madame Tussauds New York where fans can admire and pose with the icon.” Aside from the 2018 Met Gala recreation, the franchise’s Orlando location will also reportedly release a Super Bowl-themed RiRi later this year.

Of course, the “Rude Boy” hitmaker isn’t the only celebrity the wax workers are honouring as of late. Earlier this month, Beyoncé’s latest recreation came out. Although it obviously looks better than past iterations, many social media users agree that something is still off. See for yourself here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Erykah Badu’s Influence Described By Questlove, Puma Curry, Thom Browne, And More

by

Erykah Badu is just one of the celebrities presently proving that you’re never too old to reinvent yourself. As she quickly approaches her 52nd birthday, the Texas-born singer sat down with Vogue to discuss her “second coming” for the fashion magazine’s March issue. Aside from sharing her own thoughts, the outlet also spoke with several of Badu’s past collaborators and family members to truly capture the essence of her ethereal persona.

“The Healer” hitmaker’s unique style keeps fans talking. However, she says that’s not a world she dove into until her 30s and 40s. “What I had was a good understanding of look and shape, the way I did with paper dolls when I was a child,” she explained of her experience with fashion in her younger years.

“For me, it’s about seeing things coming together, like making a cake from beginning to end,” Badu went on. As her personal style continues to evolve, the mother of three has built strong working relationships with several top designers. Among them are Marni’s creative director, Francesco Risso, and Thom Browne.

The former says he was a huge fan of the vocalist’s process when they built a capsule collection together. “I’ve worked with celebrities in the past [but] with Erykah, it’s a completely new world… It’s just so innate. With her, it’s not just about making music. She’s iconic because what comes with her is a lifestyle, it’s a complete world.”

In the same story, Vogue quotes The Roots frontman Questlove’s thoughts upon seeing Badu at the 1996 Soul Train Awards in Los Angeles. “She had on the tallest turban I’ve ever seen in my life,” the producer recalls. “It was like she was hiding a three-year-old standing on her head, that’s how tall her headwrap was. I was just transfixed.” As for the “Tyrone” artist, she felt as though her fashion at the time was “really embracing what it meant to be an African here, generationally.”

The daughter she shares with The D.O.C., Puma, also spoke with Vogue about her mother’s undeniably strong influence. The 18-year-old and her boyfriend, Sean, have served as Badu’s personal assistants for upwards of a year now. At the same time, the singer’s daughter has been working double-time as a stylist, ensuring the performer has the “15 to 20 trunks of clothing and accessories she needs on tour.”

“I don’t know how other family workplace dynamics go, but it’s like a real job. I have to buckle down and do what I need to do or else word is going to get to the CEO and I’m not going to get paid. You know what I mean?” Puma dished off her responsibilities. Read Erykah Badu’s full Vogue profile here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Beyoncé Shares Grammys BTS Video, Dances With Jay-Z & Poses With Trophies

by

The Grammy Awards have come and gone for another year, though our favourite celebrities continue to reflect on their wins (and losses) all across social media. The latest to do so is one of the night’s biggest champions – Beyoncé. Throughout the prestigious ceremony, she markedly took home the trophies for R&B Song, Dance Recording, Traditional R&B Performance, and finally, Dance/Electronic Album.

Following Sunday (February 5) night’s televised presentation, the Houston-born vocalist shared a commemorative post on her Instagram. “To my Hive, thank y’all so much for all of your love and loyalty,” she began. “Big thank you for the ‘BREAK MY SOUL’ and ‘CUFF IT’ wins!!! To The Dream, Tricky, HOV, and Big Freedia. I love y’all!”

Beyoncé went on to name-drop Syd, Nova Wav, Ristorp, Raphael Saadiq, and Nile Rodgers for their help in the winning efforts. Additionally, she praised Sabrina Claudio, Nick Green, and Patrick Paige II for helping out with “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA.” Of the track, she says, “[It’s] my favourite song on ‘RENAISSANCE’ most days. It’s hard to pick though. Haaa.”

In the days since the 41-year-old has kept the Grammy content coming our way. A closer look at her glamourous outfit came earlier this week. Later, on Wednesday (February 8), the “Baby Boy” hitmaker gave us a behind-the-scenes video that includes plenty of big smiles. Soundtracked to the newly released “CUFF IT (WETTER REMIX),” we see footage of Queen B dancing with her husband, posing while cameras snap, and getting emotional while accepting an award on stage.

Other famous faces who appear alongside Beyoncé in the new video include former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland and her mom, Tina Lawson. Seeing as the performer is now tied for the title of most-decorated Grammy artist of all time, she’s got no shortage of bragging rights and prestige within the music industry.

Her RENAISSANCE album continues to be celebrated by friends and fans near and far. Unfortunately, Beyoncé’s Adidas x Ivy Park collection hasn’t been getting the same love as of late. Earlier this week, reports revealed that the streetwear brand underperformed by 86% last year.

The mother of three obviously isn’t letting the numbers get her down. On her own social media page, she shared a sneak peek at her “favourite drop yet” from Ivy Park. See the photos for yourself here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

SZA’s Curves Capture Fans’ Attention As She Thirst Traps & Listens To Ashanti

by

It took over five years for SZA to deliver the follow-up to her debut Ctrl album earlier this winter. Still, fans aren’t holding it against her. In fact, they’re so happy to have new music from the “Drew Barrymore” hitmaker that they’ve helped her beat numerous records and add more RIAA certifications under her belt. The music is obviously a huge reason why people love her. However, SZA’s thirst traps also play a key role in keeping her audience intrigued.

Earlier this week, the 33-year-old couldn’t help but flaunt her thick figure on social media. Wearing a light brown catsuit complete with plenty of cutouts in the top half, SZA gave viewers of her Instagram Story a nearly 360-degree look at her body. As the clip begins, she stands to the side, making her pert booty the focal point.

The Missouri native soundtracked her thirst trap to Ashanti’s “Movies,” showing love to one of the many great female artists to come before her. As the song continues, SZA turns to give the camera a view from the front. She zooms in and out on her hourglass figure. A huge smile spreads across her face as her sparkle-clad outfit magically reflects in the light.

The R&B diva’s body was a hot topic as fans (and haters) spent years debating whether she went under the knife. On her sophomore album, SZA cleared up the rumours. At the time, she confirmed to the world that she previously went through with a BBL. The project’s opener finds her braggadociously rhyming, “So classic, that ass so fat / It look natural, it’s not.”

Her thirst traps have certainly been known to capture the world’s attention. Of course, that doesn’t mean SZA’s musical career is any less impressive. Her latest album, SOS, has officially been certified Platinum by the RIAA just a few months after its arrival. She’s clearly hit her stride while working with TDE, but as it turns out, the singer had aspirations of joining Odd Future before becoming a part of Punch’s label.

“Quiet as it’s kept, I wanted to be with [them],” she said of Tyler, The Creator’s collective. “I felt more like a Christian Clancy girl,” the songstress added of the artist’s manager. Read everything SZA had to say about almost working with Odd Future here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

GloRilla Meets Beyoncé, Her Dream Collaborator, At The Grammys

by

Awards season is officially upon us. This means the internet will see a slew of exciting celebrity crossovers in the coming months. Sunday (February 5) night celebrated one of the biggest evenings in music we’ll see this year, better known as the Grammys. Plenty of our favourites stepped out in their best dressed, including Cardi B, Beyoncé, and Doja Cat.

Now that COVID-19 feels like a thing of the past, many of them found time to pose for photos and videos together. Thankfully for fans, many were subsequently shared on social media. One name that practically everyone in the building wanted to meet is obviously Queen B. The mother of three left with four new trophies under her arm last night, as well as the title of most-awarded Grammy artist of all time.

When she wasn’t on stage accepting her various prizes, Beyoncé was kiking with other industry favourites. Among them is GloRilla, whose excitement was radiating in the adorable clip she uploaded to social media last night. In the three-second video, the “FTCU” rhymer smiles ear to ear and waves at the camera as her new friend leans in.

“I love you so much,” she gushes over Bey, who also gives the camera a heartwarming grin and giggle. “I met Beyoncé, bye!!!!!!” the rapper wrote in her caption. “My life is COMPLETE.” Coming face-to-face with the vocalist would surely be an amazing experience for any fan. As it turns out, though, the Houston native is one of GloRilla’s dream collaborators.

In an exclusive interview with Grammy.com, the southern rapper said, “There’s a lot of people I want to do songs with that I’m a fan of, but my top two that I’m extremely obsessed with [are] Beyoncé and Chief Keef.” Additionally, Glo listed Drake and Lil Wayne as other potential musical link-ups.

Beyoncé certainly stole the show – as expected – at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Still, she’s not the only Black female celebrity to achieve an amazing feat thanks to her trophies. Apart from the countless singers and songwriters who were celebrated on Sunday night, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom actress Viola Davis also left the building with a new accolade.

Thanks to her work narrating her own audiobook, Finding Me, the 57-year-old is officially an EGOT. This puts her alongside the ranks of previous champions such as John Legend, Audrey Hepburn, and Jennifer Hudson. Read more about Davis’ exciting achievement here, and check back later for more pop culture updates.

Chrisean Rock’s Barely There Baby Bump Was On Display At Yung Miami’s Birthday Party: Photos

by

Having a bun in the oven isn’t preventing Chrisean Rock from living her best life. Since announcing that she’s with child last month, the Crazy In Love star has kept busy with several projects. Among them are her “Lit” music video and Blueface’s “Dear Rock” visual. The latter of the two saw the troubled couple carry out a romantic wedding attended by celebrity friends like DDG. It presently remains unclear if the ceremony was legal.

They’ve had their share of drama in the past, but the 22-year-old sounds confident in her decision to carry her boyfriend’s baby. As it turns out, this isn’t their first time conceiving a child. Chrisean previously went through with three abortions to end prior pregnancies. This time around, the “Thotiana” artist denied paternity and demanded a DNA test. In the weeks since, though, the pair seems to have worked through their differences.

On Friday (February 3) night, the Baddies cast member hit the town. She stepped out sans her man to attend Yung Miami’s birthday party. For the turnt-up function, Rock donned a matching two-piece set made of printed pink and blue pants as well as a cropped long-sleeve top. Her midriff was on full display as the cameras snapped away.

For accessories, the expecting mother wore a simple but elegant diamond chain around her neck. It further draws attention to one of her many Blueface portrait tattoos in the area. Chrisean added a watch around her wrist and finished the look with silver high-top sneakers. Of course, she didn’t attend the party alone – her Zeus co-star, DJ Sky High Baby, joined her for an evening of fun and celebration.

Before she hit the red carpet for Yung Miami’s birthday celebration this weekend, Chrisean’s antics during a recent podcast interview gave her a moment in the spotlight. On The Perfect Network show, the Baltimore native and her man were chatting with hosts when Rock’s attitude distinctly shifted.

At the time, Blueface was getting a bit too chatty with Moniece Slaughter for her liking. While she made some unimpressed faces and comments to the camera, social media users are speculating that the “Rainy Days” artist wasn’t as confrontational as usual because she didn’t want smoke with the host, who’s known for her own dramatic antics. Read more about that beef here, and check back later for more pop culture updates.
