Ice Spice has revealed her new full-length debut album is coming in 2024. During an appearance on The Today Show, Ice Spice confirmed the release, stating, “I’m so excited.”
Sherri Shepherd has seemingly taken shots at The Today Show as she showed Kelly Rowland a huge dressing room for the singer’s appearance on Sherri. The move comes after Rowland walked off a guest host role at The Today Show after her dressing room was reportedly “too small” for Rowland’s liking.
The footage that appeared online made fans question just how poorly The Today Show had treated Rowland. “And that dressing room she was just in wasn’t even that big so can you image what they gave her that made her walk off like that,” one fan said. “The fact that this dressing room isn’t even huge, tells me they tried to put Kelly in a maintenance closet…” added another. “I have been waiting for this to come out. Why give JLo a full suite for a dressing room to spend 10 mins at most total but give Kelly a hallway and expect her to cohost a hour show and a segment in the first half of the show? Not to mention, you want to discuss Beyonce at her movie premiere. It was the multiple levels of disrespect for me watching…” ranted a third.
Many famous faces have come out in support of Rowland as well. “Y’all stop with these false narratives. I’ve worked with [Kelly Rowland] as a star/producer. I will honestly say she was nothing short of AMAZING. Sweet, kind, professional. On time, great energy, impeccable manners and professionalism. She was nice to EVERYONE on set. Not one diva moment. S**t happens in Hollywood. Get both sides before you castrate anymore legends. Love this woman. Yall stop this BS. This woman was nothing short of a humble loving queen… PERIOD,” Marlan Wayans wrote on Instagram.
Furthermore, Beyonce made an appearance at the premiere of Mea Culpa, a new Tyler Perry movie starring Rowland. Furthermore, Beyonce shared her love for her former Destiny’s Child bandmate online. “Dats my best friend! Dats my best friend!!!!! So proud of you Kelly,” Bey wrote alongside images from the premiere.
Ice Spice has revealed her new full-length debut album is coming in 2024. During an appearance on The Today Show, Ice Spice confirmed the release, stating, “I’m so excited.” The album will be titled Y2K.
Chlöe dropped one of the most anticipated R&B releases of the year with the album In Pieces. Moreover, she just performed it live for the first time, as she played the project’s title track on The Today Show and celebrated the occasion on Instagram. “Performed in pieces live for the first time today on the @todayshow,” she captioned the post with a piano and heart (no, the real heart) emoji. Donning sparkly necklaces and a simple red hoodie, she played on the piano for a tender and dramatic display of emotion.
However, this promotional rollout for the album (on top of critical and commercial success) involved a ton of gossip, public statements from the singer, and other notable extracurriculars from the music, which still deserves most of the attention. Some were lighter, like her rumored romance with Quavo. Others were more salacious in tone, with many criticizing her embracing her sexuality in a more overt way. Regardless of what you think of either of those, she drew a lot of flack for her Chris Brown collab, which many criticized given his history of abuse. While speaking on the V-103 podcast, she opened up about the backlash in a more detailed way.
“I always just wanna let the music speak for itself,” she remarked. “And to be honest, no matter what I do, people always find things to say about it, so I’m used to it. I just choose to ignore it. People have every right to their opinions, freedom of speech, and it’s up to me to choose what I give my attention and energy to. Everything I’m doing is ordained by God, and I’m walking in my purpose, and anybody who has a problem with that can kiss my booty.”
Meanwhile, a less egregious example of backlash occurred over her sex scene in the series Swarm, which many took issue with. However, she responded in a similar fashion when asked about it by Big Boy, albeit concerning a much less damaging controversy. “So I’m an actress, you know?” Chlöe began. “And I feel like it’s about art. When I first received the script, it was just insane and gorgeous. I think people are actually forgetting the plot of that scene. It’s not about seeing me in the mirror of that scene. But I think because it’s me doing it, that’s what kind of makes it blow out of proportion.” Regardless of your takes on these topics, return to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chlöe.
