Azealia Banks Praises Cardi B & Tinashe, Disses ASAP Rocky, Rihanna & Others

For once, Azealia Banks is using her social media platform to spread positivity about other artists (though it didn’t last long before her Instagram Story posts once again took a turn for the negative). To begin her weekend, the New York native shared her thoughts on Cardi B, revealing that the mother of two is actually much kinder than the public perception seems to paint her. “[Cardi] genuinely reached out when I was having a real rough time mentally during the pandemic and it was really so heartwarming and helpful,” Banks wrote over a black screen.

She further noted that the Invasion of Privacy artist “isn’t a bad person.” In fact, Azealia says “she’s really a sweetie pie” who she would “highkey love to kiki with.” Another female entertainer that’s currently in the embattled lyricists’ good graces is Tinashe. “It’s time to put some respect on [her] name,” Banks told her followers in another post.

Azealia Banks Has High Praise for Cardi B and Tinashe

It’s rare to see the “Luxury” singer uplifting so many other women at once, and many were enjoying the good energy coming from her content. It didn’t last, however, as a few slides later Banks had some thoughts on the ongoing discourse about New York’s best rappers. “Now why would y’all gas Rocky like this? Like he got a single memorable bar worth repeating?” she asked. “I grew up with Rocky, he’s always had imposter syndrome.

She went on to notably praise ASAP Ferg and ASAP Nast for their contributions to East Coast hip-hop, but not before insulting the intelligence of Rocky’s girlfriend. “Lol thank god Rihanna is not smart enough to have snagged Relli,” she name-dropped another member of the ASAP crew. “That’s the type of d**k you have to fight a b**ch in the streets for,” Azealia continued.

New Music From Tinashe & Roy Woods Appears On Our “R&B Season” Update: Stream

Before we say goodbye to yet another weekend, we’ve got a handful of hot new tracks to share with you on our R&B Season playlist. Last Sunday it was Justin Timberlake’s sensual return on Coco Jones’ “ICU (Remix)” that pulled at our heartstrings, but today (July 23), it’s Mario’s turn to take the lead. The renowned vocalist connected with Lil Wayne and Tyga for his latest, “Main One,” which landed alongside an accompanying visual on New Music Friday. After that comes another noteworthy collaboration from some of R&B’s finest – Ty Dolla Sign and Chris Brown – called “Motion (Remix).”

This week’s update is far more male-dominated than we’ve seen in the past, but music lovers definitely aren’t complaining. Holding it down for the women is Tinashe, who’s making her mark on “Talk To Me Nice,” as well as the ever-ethereal Snoh Aalegra. The latter’s new single is called “Be My Summer,” and it’s the perfect seasonal love song to send to anyone who’s weighing on your mind romantically at this time.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist

Our recommendations don’t stop there. Canada’s Roy Woods continues to impress us with his string of singles that have landed so far in 2023. Recent efforts include “Young Boy Problems” and “Don’t Mind Me,” but as July comes to a close he’s back with “Test What I Know.” If you’re looking for something sure to set the mood for a night of dancing, Burna Boy and Byron Messia’s “Talibans II” will surely do the trick. Elsewhere, our final pick of the week comes from “GOD DID” collaborator Fridayy, who proudly flexes his vocal chops on “When It Comes To You.”

If any of those sound like your jam, you can stream the entirety of this weekend’s R&B Season update exclusively on Spotify. Are there any recent arrivals that you think we missed?

Tinashe Is Starting A New Era With Her Sultry Song ‘Talk To Me Nice’

Earlier this year, Tinashe appeared on the deluxe edition of Shygirl’s Nymph on the track “Heaven.” She was also brought out during Kaytranada’s Coachella set, along with Anderson .Paak, HER, and more.

She’s kicking off her next era with this her new single “Talk To Me Nice.” Her forthcoming project is reportedly called BB/ANG3L, following 2021’s 333. It’s a sultry song, with lyrics narrating temptation: “You got options, I got options / Want you, but don’t need you / Tease you, but I please you,” she sings.

In our 2020 interview with Tinashe, she discussed her persistence when it comes to making art. “It’s interesting because I’ve never really looked at my career as an option or thought I would ever possibly, potentially do anything else,” she said. “So even in the lowest of low, I’ve been discouraged, but I’ve never been hopeless. I’ve always just used that down period as some type of motivation to create better music and create better art and be a better creative. I really thrive sometimes when my back is against the wall. I feel like I step up to the plate in adversity. I would say a lot of times the lows have been good things and motivation for me to keep moving forward and I just wouldn’t ever stop anyways. It’s all part of the journey.”

Tinashe Announces Summer 2023 Tour

Tinashe is ready to hit the road again. Recently, the “Unconditional” singer has not been in the spotlight as frequently. Several weeks ago, she turned 30. In an Instagram post celebrating the big birthday, she displayed her glowing appearance. In honor of her new decade of life, the singer shared topless photos from the beach, captioned with a reference to the film “13 Going On 30.” The post garnered attention from her fans and celebrity friends, who shared messages of love in the comments.

Tinashe is a multi-talented artist, recognized for her skills as a singer, songwriter, and actress. Although she began her career as a child actor, she transitioned to music and has become well-known for her soulful vocals and versatile musical style. Her performances often showcase her trained dance abilities. Her production skills have also been on full display during many of her projects. Tinashe has also collaborated with many respected artists in the music industry, including her recent feature on the Calvin Harris-led single “New To You” alongside Offset.

Tinashe Is Coming To A City Near You

Today, Tinashe posted on Instagram for the first time in a few weeks. Luckily for her fans, she was back with an exciting announcement. The singer posted a new picture of herself in a sexy leather outfit with sky-high heels. Along with the sultry new promo photo, Tinashe provided the dates for her upcoming summer tour. Beginning next month, she will be hitting the road, stopping in New York, LA, Athens, Milan, Paris, and more. According to the post, tickets will be available this coming week.

Most recently, Tinashe returned to the stage at Coachella for a guest performance during Kaytranada’s set. It looks like she is gearing up for a new era. What that will sound like for the artist is unclear. She has a rather eclectic collection of music, from bubblegum pop to hip-hop, to more alternative, experimental music. Tinashe has never been afraid to explore different genres. So, whatever it is she has prepared for fans, it’s likely to be something new and exciting. Will you be hitting up any of the singer’s tour dates? Let us know in the comments below!

Kaytranada Ran Through His Iconic Collaborations With HER, Tinashe, And Anderson .Paak At Coachella

A bad Kaytranada collaboration doesn’t exist. And the prolific DJ and producer has proven that with his star-studded albums 99.9% and Bubba. Last night (April 21), Kaytranada brought out several guests who have given his songs the magic touch over the years.

Early in the set, HER joined Kaytranada in a performance of their collaboration, “Intimidated.”

Shortly after, Tinashe arrived to the stage to perform “The Worst In Me” from Kaytranada’s 2019 album, Bubba. During this performance, Tinashe displayed her signature silky, futuristic vocals, while grooving flawlessly to the beat.

In another surprise, Kaytranada and Anderson. Paak threw it all the way back to 2016 for a performance of “Glowed Up” from 99.9%. As Anderson says on the song’s opening line, this magical pairing between him and Kaytranada proves that there still ain’t a damn thing you can tell them.

This comprehensive set proved that Kaytranada doesn’t miss, and in the coming weeks, he’ll have even more hits in his arsenal.

Next month, Kaytranada and Aminé will release a collaborative album called Kaytraminé.

In the meantime, you can see some clips from the performance above.

Kaytraminé is out 5/12 via CLBN and Kaytranada Music.

Tinashe Channels Kobe Bryant In Courtside Pics

Tinashe looks radiant in a new Instagram post. The singer recently turned 30, but you’d never know it looking at the pictures. To commemorate the new decade of life, Nashe posed topless on a beach. She captioned the post “dirty, flirty, and thriving,” like a reference to famed romantic comedy movie 13 Going On 30. In the film, the main character wishes to be “30, flirty, and thriving.” The pictures caused a stir on the internet, and many of her celebrity friends posted their messages of love in the comments.

Tinashe is a multifaceted artist. She is well-known for her abilities as a singer, songwriter, and actress. However, she gained early recognition as a child actor before she transitioned to her successful music career. Nashe is renowned for her soulful vocals and versatile musical style. While primarily a pop artist, she incorporates R&B and hip-hop influences. She also has an energetic and captivating stage presence, often displaying her skills as a trained dancer in her performances. Tinashe has released multiple well-received albums and EPs, and has collaborated with other esteemed artists in the music industry. Most recently, she featured along with Offset on the Calvin Harris-led single “New To You” from his album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2.

Tinashe Inspired By The Late Legend

In her new post, Tinashe channels the late NBA legend, Kobe Bryant. In the photo, she poses courtside in a Lakers jacket. The singer is well known for her fashion sense, and this post is no exception. As always, Nashe looks styled to perfection at the game. The singer is decked out in a denim shirt, leather pants, and high heels. Never one to forget the small details, she accessorized her outfit with several gold chains and big hoop earrings. Nashe flashed a smile for the picture, posting it with the caption, “this sh*t too easy like a free throw.”

Tinashe is one of the hardest-working performers around. However, she has many detractors. Many of them say that she is “corny.” Nashe spoke out against them in an interview last year, saying that it was lazy to call her that. In other words, she wants her haters to come up with some better insults. Say what you will about her, but it’s clear that Tinashe is unbothered by the hate.

Shygirl Announces The ‘Nymph’ Deluxe Edition And Shares Her Collaboration With Tinashe For ‘Heaven’

Shygirl‘s 2022 album Nymph was a singular, salacious excursion. The rapper knows how to hook a listener in, whether it’s with eccentric atmospherics and bewitching flows on “Come For Me” or uncensored sexuality on “Coochie (A Bedtime Story).” Now, she’s back with the announcement of Nymph_o, an expanded version of that LP.

The first taste of Nymph_o is delectable, namely “Heaven,” a dreamy collaboration with the one and only Tinashe. The two together are a force to be reckoned with; their voices coalesce to make stunning harmonies, like, “All I do is look at you, look at you / All I do is look at you, look at you.”

Nymph_o is full of exciting guests and remixes that will definitely excite fans. For instance, Björk transformed the track “Woe” after the pair worked together for the Fossora song “Ovule.”

Tinashe Goes Topless On The Beach For 30th Birthday

For nearly two decades, Tinashe’s been grinding through the entertainment industry. It began when she appeared in Polar Express with Tom Hanks in 2004. Since then, she had brief stints as a member of a girl group, expanded into her solo career, and later took off as a celebrated artist in her own life. However, she’s continued to prove that she’s one of the hardest-working women in the music industry since then, especially after embarking on a journey as an independent artist.

Though she’s two years removed from her last studio album, 333, she’s continued on a relentless grind in the past year. She joined Flume on tour and delivered several records throughout the year, including the deluxe edition of her 2021 project. Then, she joined Snakehips on “Who’s Gonna Love You” after linking up with Calvin Harris and Offset on “New To You.” Needless to say, she’s been working hard and certainly deserves to celebrate the fruits of her label.

Happy Birthday, Tinashe!

Tinashe caught everyone’s attention this week when she celebrated her birthday on February 6th. The singer reached a huge milestone as she officially turned 30 years old. The singer dropped a spicy picture of herself on a beach with her hands covering her bare breasts. Tinashe’s rocking a neon green bikini bottom and matching sunglasses as she grins from ear to ear. Elsewhere, Tinashe highlighted her birthday dinner, a pic with her family and friends, and a hilarious clip where she’s performing karaoke. 

The timeline undoubtedly appreciated the thirst trap-esque post. She captioned the post, “Dirty, flirty and thriving,” along with a blue heart emoji and a birthday cake. Moreover, there are plenty of individuals who appreciate her. Rubi Rose, Kaytranada, and Jojo slid in the comments to wish her a happy birthday. Meanwhile, Hitmaka hinted that the two have some music sitting in the vault, writing, “Hbd Nashe. Let’s give ‘em what they want.” At 30, Tinashe’s undoubtedly accomplished more than most would in their lifetimes and looks great at the same time.
