So far, the Super Bowl LVII commercials featuring musicians have been centered around music. Cardi B and her husband Offset’s McDonald’s commercial was all about their forthcoming couple’s meal at the chain. While Jennifer Lopez and her husband Ben Affleck, put their love of coffee and donuts on full display in their Dunkin’ Donuts commercial.

However, music mogul, Diddy wanted to remind everyone just how he became a mogul in his appearance in Uber Eats’ latest commercial. As part of the company’s campaign to push its Uber One membership, the former A&R is seeking out the perfect jingle to do so.

During the commercial, several musicians at the helm of the millennium’s most catchy tracks audition. Singer-turned-minister Montell Jordan appears rapping his 1995 single “This is How We Do It.” Singer-turned-farmer Kelis sings a remixed version of her 2003’s song “Milkshake.” Donna Lewis, who had a hand in the 1996 hit “I Love You Always Forever,” “What is Love” singer Haddaway and duo Ylvis behind the 2013 song “What Does the Fox Say” all appear.

Before the commercial aired, Diddy couldn’t hold back his excitement, tweeting, “Proud to be starring in my second #SuperBowl commercial! Watch it tonight during the 2nd quarter!”

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

To which Uber Eat’s official Twitter account replied, writing, “2nd quarter’s where it’s AT 😎🔥”

Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce seems to be having a great game so far. The Cleveland native celebrated his touchdown over the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LVII with a classic dance move provided by the GS Boyz. The Texas rap group is behind the popular “Stanky Legg” dance, which debuted back in 2008. The dance is based on a dance movement that originated in Dallas. To date, the trio’s hit has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

While the song only peaked at No.49 on Billboard Hot 100, it reached No.7 on the rap charts. The single was a major hit on BET’s 106 & Park, topping the video countdown in 2009. The track even received a remix by Trina.

Aside from the big game, fans couldn’t more excited to see the halftime performer, Rihanna. The Barbadian singer is expected to hit the stage tonight for a thrilling performance of a medley of her biggest hits. The “Work” hitmaker recently revealed that she changed the setlist nearly 39 times.

Fans are hoping that her upcoming performance could be her entryway back into music. While sitting down with Apple Music host Nadeska the new mother said that she’s feeling open to “exploring and creating things that are new.”

She continued, “I just wanna play. I wanna have fun. I want to have to have
fun with music.”

Move over, Cardi B and Offset. You two aren’t the only beloved entertainment couple putting their love for one another, along with their love of fast food, on full display during Super Bowl LVII. Instead of a burger and fries at McDonald’s, Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, lent their famous faces to the coffee company Dunkin’ Donuts.

Affleck is a notorious lover of the chain, having been spotted at several locations across the country. But during the commercial, he switches places. Rather than his usual role of customer, he is now a worker surprising drive-thru patrons… and the last of which is his singer and fellow actress wife, Jennifer Lopez.

The franchise quickly posted the commercial after airing during the Super Bowl onto their official Twitter page with the caption, “They say go big or go home, so Ben went big and came home to Massachusetts.” Lopez wasted no time in quote tweeting with her sole line from the commercial, “#GrabMeAGlazed.”

Lopez has sung all about her need to remain humble despite her fame. Whether she’s singing about how her love doesn’t cost a thing or how she’s still just “Jenny from the block,” she has proved it in this funny commercial.

Cardi B famously rapped, “I don’t cook,” on her hit single, “WAP,” and thanks to her latest partnership with McDonald’s, her husband, fellow rapper Offset won’t have to worry about going hungry anytime soon. The famous couple’s joint partnership with the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald’s will set in when they don’t fill like lifting a finger.

The official commercial for their couple’s meal with the franchise aired at the opening of Super Bowl LVII. During the commercial, the pair appear with several other couples. Measuring their love for one another, Cardi is asked does she know Offset’s go-to McDonald’s meal, to which she lovingly looks into his eyes to answer, “a quarter pounder and a Hi-C drink.”

Inspired by Offset’s favorite McDonald’s meal, the chain has used that as the basis for the Cardi B and Offset Meal, which comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.

Barely holding back her excitement, the “Up” rapper took to Twitter to respond to the commercial’s airing, writing, “Y’all saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA I’m F*ckin him! ❤💛…The CARDI & Offset meal is coming February 14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!💛❤💛❤💛❤.”

The fast-food chain hopped on Twitter to share a promotional image of the couple with the caption, “introducing the Cardi B & Offset meal, coming February 14.”

All eyes are on Rihanna as she will make her live musical return at Super Bowl LVII. While her former collaborator Coldplay’s Chris Martin may consider her to be the greatest singer ever, the “Life Me Up” singer actually looked outside of herself for performance inspiration. Although the Savage x Fenty boss has taken the stage as part of her annual fashion shows, her Super Bowl performance will actually center on the recording artist’s music rather than the acts featured during the broadcast.

During an interview with iHeart and the NFL’s The Process with Nate Burleson, Rihanna spoke about her half-time preparation revealing both Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl performance and her 2016 guest appearance alongside Bruno Mars and Coldplay were the perfect study material.

The business mogul said, “I watched Beyoncé’s halftime performances a couple of times,” adding, “She is a beast and a whole other level. Just to be inspired, really.”

Of course, the “Work” singer will make the performance all her own as her discography differs from the “Cuff It” singer, but her dedicated Navy fanbase is ready for whatever she has planned.

As for which of her song’s have made the finally set list. You are just going to have to watch Super Bowl LVII to find out.

These days, Sheryl Lee Ralph is best known as Barbara Howard, the elder teacher on Abbott Elementary. She has already won multiple Emmys for the show, both for her individual role and as a member of the cast.

But as the “original Dreamgirl,” who won a Tony for her portrayal of Deena Jones in the Broadway musical, her vocal chops shouldn’t be overlooked. So when she was tapped to open this year’s Super Bowl with a soulful rendition of “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” aka the Black National Anthem, she rewarded that choice, showing off her range and getting things started off right. The pre-show also included a performance of “America The Beautiful” by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.

For those who might be wondering why this year deserved such an honor, it’s because Black history has been made. This is the first-ever Super Bowl to feature two Black starting quarterbacks facing off, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.

In a fun connection, the Super Bowl Halftime Show will be performed by Rihanna, whose Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 Show on Amazon Prime featured Sheryl Lee Ralph as a model. Her resume continues to grow and impress, making for an inspirational career second act.

You can watch Sheryl Lee Ralph’s pre-game performance above.

Megan Fox Deletes Instagram As Machine Gun Kelly Performs During Super Bowl Weekend

Megan Fox just deleted her Instagram after she fueled breakup rumors with Machine Gun Kelly, who performed at a Super Bowl party without her. Moreover, there are plenty of juicy and yet unverified details swirling around this developing story. For starters, after attending the Grammys together, Fox deleted all posts with her and MGK. In fact, this includes their much-talked about engagement post last year, which only adds to rumors. She also posted lyrics from Beyoncé’s album LEMONADE, which infamously talks about Jay-Z’s infidelity.

Furthermore, just hours after those posts, the actress deleted her Instagram page, leaving few traces behind. However, before doing so, she did spill some tea on cheating rumors concerning her boyfriend and his guitarist Sophie Lloyd. Moreover, many asked her in the comments if the rapper and rocker got with her. “Maybe I got with Sophie,” Fox responded, neither confirming nor denying the reason behind the apparent split. What’s more is that, in her slideshow which seems to refer to the breakup, she included a bathroom pic with a mystery man. Another slide was a letter burning, and the lyric-based caption read, “You can taste the dishonesty / it’s all over your breath.” Also, before deleting her account, she only followed Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, and famous MGK rival Eminem.

Meanwhile, her (seemingly ex) fiancée recently performed at a Super Bowl weekend party on Saturday (February 11). Moreover, he performed at Sports Illustrated‘s The Party with some stars in attendance. Furthermore, he performed songs like “My Ex’s Best Friend,” “Forget Me Too,” and “I Think I’m OKAY.” Also, he dedicated “Bloody Valentine,” one of his biggest songs, to “the ladies.” Whereas he dedicated that track, he did not mention Fox or sing “Twin Flame,” which is based on their couple name.

However, he did perform with the aforementioned Sophie Lloyd, which will surely only make the discourse spicier. While a source told Page Six that Fox didn’t attend the show, their split might get in the way of others. For example, the event’s booker said that he was going to watch the Super Bowl with the couple. Poor guy. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.

Drake Reacts To Fan Offering Him Sex During Super Bowl Weekend Performance

by

While some famous faces are simply in Arizona to take in the NFL Championship game this weekend, others are steadily securing the bag. Among the latter group is Drake. He gave a rousing performance on Friday (February 10) evening ahead of Sunday’s big game. All eyes were obviously on the father of one as he recreated his recent run at the Apollo Theatre. Still, he found himself paying close attention to one audience member in particular.

As Page Six notes, a patron in the crowd caught the Scorpion artist’s eye around 1 AM. He promptly stopped the show, taking place at Scottdale’s private jet complex, Hangar One, to deal with the “distraction.” At the time, he said, “Gimme a sec,” before grabbing the person’s phone to show the rest of the crowd the message displayed for Drake to read.

“Let’s f*ck,” was written across the screen, and clearly, Champagne Papi was intrigued enough by the proposition to acknowledge it. However, he declined the confident fan’s advance and went back to crooning out some of his greatest hits. During his set, the Toronto native let the crowd know he was asked to perform for just 20 minutes, or three songs.

Instead, though, he put on the show of a lifetime for everyone in the building. “I can either do my 20 minutes or we could just run through all the old shit. It’s up to you,” he told them. Ultimately, he launched into titles like “God’s Plan,” “Best I Ever Had,” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” Elsewhere during his time on stage, Drake rapped “Started From the Bottom,” “Headlines,” and “HYFR (Hell Ya F*cking Right).”

Drake has obviously been having a great time surrounded by his fellow celebrities in Arizona, but he’s got plenty of big things going on outside of that as well. Earlier today, Barstool Sports unveiled their recent sitdown with the Canadian and his young son, Adonis. During their chat with Caleb Pressley, neither the father nor the child held back when answering questions.

Among their topics of discussion were things like Drizzy’s parenting skills, and having a lot of feelings. Additionally, the trio spoke about the proper way to call women to ensure their maximum satisfaction. Check out the full interview here, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.
