It’s no secret that Cardi B and her husband Offset are one of rap’s more touchy-feely couples — and that’s kind of an understatement. In reality, the couple can’t keep their hands off of each other, putting on public displays of affection anywhere the mood strikes. That even includes the Grammys red carpet and Super Bowl commercial for their joint meal at McDonald’s.
So of course, Valentine’s Day is more or less their unofficial holiday. And while Cardi’s timeline for the majority of the day was made up of promotional retweets for the aforementioned McDonald’s meal, she made sure to get a few fit pics up ahead of the holiday with a special request for her hubby. “Excuse me …..can I sit on top of you?” she captioned the photos, which captured her arrival at their hotel, the spectacular view, and her glistening jewelry.

And although she hasn’t quite shared the couple’s plans, apparently, things went well:
My baby did soo good yesterday
………Gave him that Henny neck 3000!

The couple had been keeping things low-key for the last couple of months as Cardi comforted Offset in the wake of the death of his bandmate and family member Takeoff. However, that hasn’t stopped Cardi from teasing fans with her first album in five years. That’ll be one gift we can all appreciate.
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Well, Valentine’s Day has come and gone but at least we have the memories. Among the stars posting about their V-Day plans and boo thangs were plenty who just used the day to get off a few racy fit pics to suit the theme, and you really can’t be mad at them. If you’re going to be single on the most romantic holiday, you might as well look good — and show it off — right?
Chlöe certainly agrees with this philosophy. As fans await the long-anticipated release of the “Pray It Away” singer’s solo debut album In Pieces in March, she remains booked and busy — but not so busy that she can’t whet their internet appetites with her signature steamy photoshoots. And V-Day was no exception; it even offered her a chance to dial up the sex appeal while potentially teasing her potential next single.
i’m my own valentine this year

Of course, Twitter only allows for up to four photos at a time, and you know Ms. Chlöe wouldn’t settle for such paltry offerings. Over on Instagram, she posted a few extras:
In addition to her debut, fans can look forward to Chlöe headlining the NBA’s All-Star Weekend Road Show on TNT along with Wiz Khalifa, as well as yet another film role in Girl From The North, a musical inspired by the work of Bob Dylan, co-starring Woody Harrelson and Olivia Colman.
Rubi Rose has been at the center of plenty of controversies recently. Her recent spat with her ex, DDG, came in the midst of rumors that he split from his girlfriend, Halle Bailey. However, it quickly transformed into an ugly spat between exes that spilled into Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s ongoing troubles. Rubi Rose alleged that DDG slid into her DM’s as he was going through relationship turmoil with Halle. Many questioned why he would risk a good girl like Halle for his ex-girlfriend but at the same time, Rubi Rose is basically every guy’s dream girl these days.
While Rubi Rose has gained prominence in hip-hop over the years, she’s undoubtedly gained the most attention through her hustle as a model. She became a massive success of platforms like OnlyFans but her Instagram page has its fair share of thirst traps. Every time she drops a new set of pictures, she goes viral and has everyone talking about her, even her haters. So, in the midst of drama in Hollywood, she came through with some new photos on Valentine’s Day that left fans in awe.
Rubi Rose didn’t leave fans empty-handed on Valentine’s Day. The “I Like” rapper hit the ‘Gram with a Valentine’s Day photo set that shows her rocking Valentine’s Day-themed lingerie covered in hearts. The singer posted the photo with a caption derived from her single, “Loyal Dick,” produced by London On Da Track. “You know I f*ckin love you n***a,” she captioned the post, as heart-eye emojis piled on in the comment section.
Though she may have graced the ‘Gram with some new pictures to thirst over, it appears that she spent her actual Valentine’s Day with family. She shared a photo of herself with her sisters after she gifted them new cars – her older sister got a ‘23 hybrid Porsche while her younger sister got her hands on a Tesla. It seems that overall Rubi Rose had a pretty solid Valentine’s Day. Check out Rubi Rose’s stunning Valentine’s Day thirst trap above. Is Rubi Rose the baddest in the game right now?

Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine have been hip-hop’s IT couple but the two haven’t escaped breakup rumors. Within a matter of months, fans speculated that they split for numerous reasons. In Jan. 2022, Pardi faced accusations of abuse and fans believed that Meg was done with him. “Stop this cap nobody puttin hands on nobody (At least not in that way),” Fontaine wrote. “Been seein the break up rumors and was lettin y’all imaginations run.” Around the same time, Meg appeared to have cleared all of their pics from Instagram, further fueling speculation.
The rumors returned last week after fans discovered that Megan Thee Stallion unfollowed Pardison Fontaine. In most cases, it’s indicative of trouble in a relationship but at the same time, it was enough bait for the masses to run with online. However, it didn’t help that Pardison Fontaine seemingly addressed the rumor in a cheeky caption on Instagram. As he rocked the infamous MSCHF boots, he wrote, “Damn… looks like I got da boot,” under the photo, leading their fans to believe that they officially split up.
Pardison Fontaine didn’t spend Valentine’s Day alone, and it seems that Megan Thee Stallion didn’t, either. Pardi hit the ‘Gram this morning where he shared an image of two hands holding heart-shaped shot glasses. Though you can’t see faces, many assumed that the other hand appeared to be Megan’s, which fans identified by her nails. So, it seems as though Megan and Pardi are still going strong, despite the breakup rumors surrounding the apparent unfollow from Meg’s account.
Megan Thee Stallion hasn’t been on social media heavily over the past few months. After Tory Lanez’s trial ended, Meg barely appeared publicly and only released a message through her attorney, Alex Shapiro, once the Canadian rapper was found guilty. Similarly, she hasn’t dropped any new music or appeared on anyone’s songs, either. Perhaps, Meg’s brief appearance on Pardi’s story is an indication that she’s revving up to step out again and potentially, bless us with a follow-up to Traumazine
Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have been engaged in a controversial relationship for some time now. Overall, many have criticized Pippen for dating someone who is so much younger than she is. Moreover, she knew Marcus as a child considering his father Michael Jordan was teammates with her ex-husband, Scottie Pippen. Regardless of how you frame it, there is no doubt that their relationship appears a bit odd to the average person. However, neither party seems to be upset about the backlash.
Over the course of the last few months, Pippen and Jordan have only gotten closer together. Initially, they tried to tell people that they were only casually dating. Pippen reportedly had no interest in committing herself to one person. Although, that seems to have changed significantly as these two are always attached at the hip. At this point, it has become clear that they are very much in love. In fact, on Valentine’s Day, Pippen made that fact even more apparent with a touching Instagram post, dedicated to her new man.
In the post up above, Pippen and Jordan can be seen frolicking in the sand on the beach. Moreover, the caption of the post says “My forever Valentine” with a heart at the end. Jordan replied to the post with a very similar sentiment, which just goes to show that the feelings here are very much mutual. Whether you like it or not, Pippen and Jordan are going to be together for a very long time. If you are familiar with the situation, it is easy to see how someone like Scottie Pippen might be feeling about all of this. However, Pippen and Jordan seem happy, and for them, that is all that matters.
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how this relationship develops. Moreover, it would be unique to hear from Michael Jordan, who has known Larsa for a very long time. Either way, this is a relationship that continues to confuse people, and that probably will not change. For now, however, they will remain together, whether the general consensus likes it or not.

We’re not sure if you’re celebrating being cuffed up, single, or entertaining a situationship this Valentine’s Day, but Chlöe is showing what she’s working with on the ‘Gram. The R&B singer isn’t a stranger to flexing her curves for her millions of followers. She dropped off a few Valentine’s Day-inspired images that got hearts racing. Chlöe donned an all-pink fit in front of a red background to celebrate the loved-up holiday. However, she clarified that she was flying solo this year.
“I’m my own valentine this year 
,” she wrote in the caption to her post. It seemingly laid speculation to rest, as her relationship status has been rumored for months. There was a time when people believed she was romantically linked to Gunna, while others thought their pairing was only professional. The two artists were questioned about the gossip surrounding a purported romance, but they gave enigmatic answers.
Meanwhile, Chlöe has been busy expanding her acting career. She also stars in Donald Glover’s new series Swarm, a show reportedly inspired by the BeyHive. Glover said he was fascinated with Beyoncé’s dedicated fanbase, among others. He developed the series about a woman obsessed with a superstar singer. Chlöe portrays the obsessed fan’s sister in the series, marking one of several projects she’s been involved with.
More recently, it was announced that Chlöe would join Anthony Mackie and Martin Lawrence in a new film, Sneaks. The animated, star-studded movie hosts Laurence Fishburne as executive producer and Mustard holding the same title, but for music. According to Variety, other cast members include Roddy Rich, Ella Mai, Swae Lee, Macy Gray, and NBA star Chris Paul.
Additionally, Rapper Quavo (Migos), Sam Jay (Pause with Sam Jay), Keith David (Princess and the Frog), Donovan Louis Bazemore (The Lion King), Coi Leray (Players), Kiana Ledé (Scream: The TV Series), Jonathan Kite (Two Broke Girls), Amari McCoy (We Baby Bears) and Olympic skateboarders Rayssa Leal and Sky Brown are also being added to the film’s cast.
Right in time for the day of love, Fetty Wap releases his new romantic single “Tonight.” From the sensual lyrics to the smooth vibes, this tune is ready to bring anyone’s Valentine’s Day to life. Despite being under flames with the federal court, Fetty’s drop is passionate and upbeat. Overall, “Tonight” provides hot insight into the flames of a new love encounter.
Fetty’s classic approach to quick and choppy words carried by his punchy trap flare is still apparent, but he adds a new twist. Whereas his previous songs carry a lighthearted undertone in execution, “Tonight” exudes a raw message, perhaps to a real-life lover. While this tune is still catchy and bright, it’s a rather vulnerable route for the 31-year-old rapper. Fetty passionately sings in the chorus: “Girl, show me why you bad, I’m here, let’s make it last, yeah, baby.” Of course, he still has thrown in his iconic “yeah, baby.”
‘Tonight’ is Fetty’s first drop since “Sweet Yamz.” This humorous take on Masego and Devin Morrison’s “Yamz” went viral on Tik Tok. Fetty also made a feature last month on Rayven Justice’s “Off Top Off Rip (Remix)”, also featuring Mozzy. In “Tonight,” Fetty takes on a more serious approach to his usually playful lyrics, and insinuates genuine admiration of the woman he’s interested in. The tune is produced by StoopKid, FrankGotThePack, Motif Alumni, Jean Bleu, the latter of whom has also collaborated with names like Drake, J.Cole, and Dreamville.
Unfortunately, Fetty is currently facing up to five years of prison time on drug charges, which may delay him from dropping more hits. While the rapper’s in-take date hasn’t been released, he’ll likely be out of the music scene for some time. Be sure to check out “Tonight,” linked up above. As always, let us know what you think, in the comments below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Girl, you’re fine likе wine but your feelings be tucked, yeah
I’ll give you love like gas, keep on fillin’ on you up, yeah
And you don’t be around the crowd, never doin’ too much
And I be tellin’ everybody, I can’t keep it on hush (Yeah, baby)
So far this month, several hip-hop and R&B artists are impressing us with their new releases. Standout projects include Kash Doll and DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz cut, as well as Shy Glizzy’s Flowers. As for singles, we’ve markedly heard from the likes of G Perico, Masego, Daniel Caesar, and many more. The latest vocalist to turn out some heat is none other than Yung Bleu.
On Tuesday (February 14), the 28-year-old gave fans a Valentine’s Day treat in the form of “Games Women Play.” The new arrival follows the singer’s recent announcement that his Love Scars II effort is due to drop in April. Throughout his lyrics, Bleu mostly reflects on troubling experiences in love, and the emotions he felt as a result.
“And I’ll always think of you as that one that got away / My mind want you to leave, but, girl, my heart want you to stay,” he reflects as the first verse comes to a close. Things become more intense later on in the song.
“I know these women, they know how to play it / I ain’t no pretty boy, but tell me, who this durag by the bed?” he asks his lover during the second verse. “I’m jumpin’ off the ledge / It f*cked my head up, now I’m seein’ red, you better call the feds.”
Prior to sharing “Games Women Play,” Bleu dropped off his TANTRA project in late 2022. Across 17 titles, he connected with artists like Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo, and Kelly Rowland, just to name a few.

Quotable Lyrics:
I know these women, they know how to play it

I’m jumpin’ off the ledge
It f*cked my head up, now I’m seein’ red, you better call the feds
