Yung Miami won’t be joining Baby Tate, Bebe Rexha, Chlöe, or Lil Nas X in hopping on the latest TikTok trend. When asked on Twitter to jump on the “Period Ahh Period Uhh” wave, the City Girls star made her position clear: “No!!!!! I hate that trend & don’t think it’s funny either.”

TikTok user Britt Barbie started the madness in late August with a video recap of her recent “Five Below haul,” including a plastic bridge for her gecko, mechanical pencils, and a wooden stick massager. She punctuated her description of each miscellaneous item with an empathic “period ahh.” That blossomed into a longer “Period Ahh Period Uhh” clip, which Britt posted on September 10.

Yung Miami is generating plenty of viral moments by herself, anyway. She launched her Revolt talk show Caresha Please this summer. So far, she has already playfully flirted with Megan Thee Stallion, received dating advice from Gucci Mane, and put the full-court press on Saweetie. The show was recently nominated for Best Hip-Hop Platform at the 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awards scheduled for October 4.

Miami’s “Period Ahh” shutdown arguably isn’t her most interesting tweet from the last 48 hours. Amid a tweetstorm about Sunday’s (September 18) afternoon NFL slate, she responded to a since-deleted tweet, “B*tch I don’t even rap no more! Eat this P*ssy hoe I retired!” Then, she and JT were revealed as Pop Sugar’s newest cover stars yesterday (September 19). Total retirement is clearly not on the table, as the City Girls are currently opening on Jack Harlow’s North American tour in support of Come Home The Kids Miss You.

Lil Nas X Nods To The Viral ‘Period Ahh, Period Uhh’ TikTok Challenge With A Wild NSFW Comparison

About a month ago, TikTok user Britt Barbie shared a video detailing all the things she had gotten at a trip to Five Below, ending each description by saying, “period, ahh!” The clip proved to be extremely popular, so much so that Barbie capitalized and released a new song called “Period Ahh Period Uhh” a few days ago.

The song has actually taken off as a TikTok challenge, as Baby Tate, Chlöe, and Bebe Rexha have all since added their own unofficial verses to the track. Now, Lil Nas X has chimed in, too, not with his own verse, but with a Twitter joke, as he tends to do. This afternoon, he tweeted, “wow so y’all gone support the period ahh period uh girl but won’t support me suckin dick behind mcdonald’s on 12th street at 3:14am in a trench coat while glorilla plays in the background? oh ok.”

This comes shortly after Nas’ debut album Montero celebrated its one-year anniversary on September 17. He marked the occasion on Twitter by asking his fans, “BABY MONTERO turns 1 year old today! what’s y’all top 3?!!!” The joke here was that he made it so only people he mentioned in the tweet could reply to it (he mentioned nobody).

Kanye West Responds To Queen Elizabeth’s Death By Seemingly Ending All Of His Feuds

Perhaps more than any other active musician today, Kanye West is often upset with multiple people and entities for various reasons. Now, though, he seems ready to put all that aside following yesterday’s (September 8) death of Queen Elizabeth II, which appears to have moved him.

On Instagram late last night, Ye shared a post. The post has three slides, with the first being white text on a black background. It says, “Life is precious. Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light.” The next two slides are photos of a young Queen Elizabeth.

As for those grudges, it’s not clear if West meant yesterday was the day he was releasing them, or if he was releasing them just for the day before returning to beefing shortly after. Whatever the case, his life has been filled with a number of notable feuds lately.

Most recently, he’s been upset with Adidas and Gap over perceived slights. He and Kid Cudi are also beefing at the moment and West’s relationships with his former GOOD Music artists are in various states. Kanye has also taken to relentlessly going after Pete Davidson in recent months, and there seems to be friction with Kim Kardashian going on right now, too.

Earlier today (September 8), Queen Elizabeth II died at 96 years old. Given how long the Queen had maintained a public presence, her passing prompted many reactions on social media, including from the music community.

Elton John, who Elizabeth knighted in 1998, wrote on social media today, “Along with the rest of the nation, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing. She was an inspiring presence to be around and led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency and a genuine caring warmth. Queen Elizabeth has been a huge part of my life from childhood to this day, and I will miss her dearly.”

Duran Duran offered a lengthy post, writing, “Her Majesty the Queen has presided over the UK for longer than any other British monarch. She dedicated her life to the people and set an extraordinary example to the world throughout her reign. She’s seen changes that are beyond what any of us can imagine. She has faced challenges that she has risen to time and again. Her life has been remarkable in so many ways. We will all miss her and are grateful for the incredible service she gave to the people of Great Britain and the countries of the Commonwealth. We send our deepest condolence to the royal family. Her death brings to an end a long and unique chapter in the history of the United Kingdom and the world.”

Ozzy Osbourne also chimed in, “I mourn with my country the passing of our greatest Queen. With a heavy heart I say it is devastating the thought of England without Queen Elizabeth II.”

Sadly, A New Angle Of The Chris Pine/Harry Styles ‘Spitting’ Footage May Disappoint The Spit Truthers

As we approach nearly 24 hours of Spitgate, new evidence has emerged that seemingly refutes the viral theory that Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine during the Venice Film Festival premiere of Don’t Worry Darling. As for why anyone would ever think that Styles would spit on Pine, the film has been a smorgasbord of drama that ramped up in recent weeks before becoming an all-out hot mess in Venice thanks to a reported feud between director Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh. Pine noticeably zoning out during a press conference also added to the chaos, but it might end up being the key detail that absolves Style of being a rogue spitter.

According to a new report, there’s apparently an explanation for the viral footage that kinda looks like Style hocked a loogie on Pine’s leg before taking his seat. Via Consequence:

“People are mental/love drama,” Irish drag queen/online personality Panti Bliss wrote in a quote tweet of the clip. “Nobody spits on anyone. Chris Pine is holding a pen (?) which he puts down on his seat to clap, then realises that the glasses he’s just been looking for have been there on the seat the whole time too. ‘Silly me!’ (then puts them on in longer clip)”

Naturally, Harry Styles fans have been going wild trying to defend the object of their undying affection, and a slow-motion clip does seem to show that Styles mouth is closed when the alleged spit would’ve happened:

Another Twitter user backed up the sunglasses theory and highlighted that the whole thing can be chalked up to Pine being completely out of it the whole day:

As you can see in this photo from the Don’t Worry Darling premiere, Pine is seen putting on his sunglasses after Styles sits down.

Sorry, spit truthers, but it’s starting to look like Pine was really that stunned to discover his missing eyewear was sitting on his leg the whole time. Of course, all of this can be easily settled if the mystery woman filming the whole thing behind Pine and Styles releases her footage. Anytime, lady.

On the latest episode of The Game‘s social media series, Anything For The Game, the Compton rapper meets a fan named Angel in a parking lot. In a clip shared to TikTok, Game takes a selfie with Angel, before offering him $500 to complete a rather bizarre challenge.

The two enter a pet store, where Game gets a bag of crickets. He then asks Angel, “How much would you eat some crickets for?”

He offers Angel $500, to which he replies to Game, “How many do I have to eat?”

Game then says, “All of them.”

Angel complies, eating all of the crickets without hesitation.

Elsewhere in the video, Game spots another customer in the store looking at goldfish. He then asks the customer if he’s ever eaten a goldfish, to which he responds that he hasn’t.

“What if I gave you 500 bucks, would you eat one?” Game asks.

The man agrees to the challenge, adding that he’s eaten fish heart before.

He successfully swallows the goldfish after several attempts.

Last month, The Game released his 30-track album, Drillmatic: Heart Vs. Mind. In an interview with Billboard, Game revealed that producer Hit-Boy motivated him to hit the studio and make music.

“I don’t do no rapper stuff,” Game said, “but everything that I am and everything that I got going on now … rapping the way that I’m rapping, it’s all because of him.”
