Alicia Keys, Khalid, And Lucky Daye Play Board Games And Chill In Their Cozy ‘Come For Me’ Video

by

Last year, Alicia Keys rolled out the 18-track album Alicia, which featured unexpected collaborations with musicians like Brandi Carlile, Tierra Whack, and Khalid. Earlier this month, the prolific singer followed up with the 26-track effort Keys, which featured another Khalid collaboration, the sultry track “Come For Me” with a verse from Lucky Daye. After showing some behind-the-scenes of the making of her album with a short film, Keys has now shared a cozy and intimate video for her Khalid and Daye collaboration.

Keys’ “Come For Me” video gives her fans an inside look at the making of the song. While the three musicians put in a lot of studio time, which can be seen in the visual, they also made sure to make time for having fun. That includes spending some time around the table drinking wine and bonding over board games.

Along with her new album, a video, and a short film, Keys has also been cooking up another project lately. This past week, the singer revealed that her graphic novel Girl On Fire will hit bookshelves soon. Keys said the novel was a long time in the making — five years to be exact — and follows the story of a young girl from Brooklyn who discovers she has superpowers.

Stephen A. Smith Reveals His Symptoms After Catching COVID-19

by

Stephen A. Smith has been very vocal about the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for everyone to get vaccinated. In fact, he has been quite critical of athletes who have yet to get the jab, including none other than Kyrie Irving. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Stephen A. would be forthcoming and honest about his own experiences with the pandemic.

Today on First Take, Smith revealed to the world that over the weekend, he tested positive for COVID-19. During the opening segment of First Take, Smith seemed a bit sick based on the inflection of his voice, and it was here that he explained some of the severity of his case.

“I’ve tested positive for COVID-19, I have the Coronavirus,” Smith said. “I learned this over the weekend. I got tested three times last week prior to the weekend and I tested negative. I had tested negative before I departed for L.A. I tested negative when I got to L.A., I tested negative when I got back from L.A. […] I’m feeling fine. Mild symptoms. Thank God I was vaccinated. Thank God I got the Pfizer vaccine, two shots a few months ago.”

It was a good sign that Smith was on the show today, and moving forward, we wish him a very quick recovery. This pandemic is no joke, and during the Holiday season, it’s important to stay safe and prudent.

YK Osiris’ Phone Number Leaks After Losing $325K Earring

by

The internet just loves to clown on singer YK Osiris and this week, he made it pretty easy for his social media haters to roast him. In fact, they even had increased access to the “Worth It” crooner after he accidentally leaked his phone number in a video he posted and deleted on Instagram.

In this age of social media, fans have fewer degrees of separation from their favorite artists and celebrities and can send them a direct message as easily as they can hit up their IRL friends. YK Osiris is regularly trending on Twitter and other platforms because of the debt he owes to artists including Drake, Lil Baby, and more. This week though, he’s trending because, as he announced a few days ago, he lost one of the $325,000 earrings that he recently purchased. That’s not all — after he offered a $60,000 reward to whoever found the precious jewel, he accidentally leaked his own phone number and received calls from strangers pranking him all night.

“These people really calling my damn phone, talking bout I found it mannnn,” complained YK on Instagram, sharing a video of an interaction he had with a group of young men who jokingly claimed to have found his earring, offering to meet up in Miami to drop it off. “Wtf is wrong With these people,” he added after realizing that they were simply playing around.

“Stop callin’ my phone you curly-headed bitch!” yelled YK at one of the boys before abruptly hanging up.

The artist still has not found his lost earring and now his phone number is out there. You can guarantee that this is not one of YK Osiris’ best weeks.

“Man, it’s so crazy like, I remember being a kid like 5 or 10 years old watching Fade to Black on TV seeing Hov sell out Madison Square Garden,” Vincent said in the Instagram clip. “And then man, I remember getting on the bus and my friends asked me, ‘If you could ever sign a deal somebody, who would it be?’ And my first answer was Roc Nation… To me, that was just a dream. But one thing I didn’t know back then, was that some dreams stay dreams and some dreams come true. Welcome to JamRoc.”

Reuban was signed to 9th Wonder’s Jamla label where he released two projects. He later went to Twitter where he shared his gratitude for the opportunity to turn his childhood dreams into a reality.

Steph Curry & Ayesha Allegedly Have Open Marriage With Side Flings: Report

by

The world has fallen in love with Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry’s relationship over the years. The (no-longer-disputed) greatest shooter of all time has been married to his wife, Ayesha, for the last decade. This year, they renewed their vows in a heart-warming ceremony. 

As sports lovers continue to wish for a love like Steph and Ayesha’s, a bombshell report has been shared by MSN and other publications, suggesting that the couple is in an open marriage with side hookups.

The couple, who met in church many years ago, apparently has an unconventional agreement on the table, which includes the possibility for side hookups outside of the marriage. The rumor was first reported by @Deuxmoi, a popular gossip page on social media that fields anonymous submissions and tips. 

“Have it on good authority that this well known NBA couple aren’t as faithful in love as their social media and image make them out to be,” said the anonymous tipster. “They both have side hookups and flings but keep it very private to keep up the perfect family image they show to the world. I was shocked to learn, they’ve been together for so long.”

Steph and Ayesha have not addressed the rumors. However, regardless of whether or not this is true, it’s clear that the Curry’s have a lot of love for one another and this works for them.

What do you think about Steph and Ayesha allegedly hooking up with other people?

AzChike And Rucci Go Back-And-Forth On ‘Get Back Gang’ For ‘UPROXX Sessions’

by

Rucci and AzChike have both done individual UPROXX Sessions performances (“Believe In Me” and “Amiri,” respectively), but today, both return for a joint performance of their Kourtesy Of Us standout, “Get Back Gang.” The two LA rappers display the same chemistry from their joint album here, delivering their nonchalant verses with a well-timed give-and-go that would even make the Showtime Lakers stop and give props.

The newly-formed duo isn’t the first to grace the Sessions set, following their fellow LA undergrounders BlueBucksClan, who performed twice (“She Busy” and “Horace Grant“), and Blimes And Gab, who rocked the first-ever tandem Sessions with their fan-favorite hit “Shellys (It’s Chill).” Rucci and AzChike have more in common with the latter, despite being closely affiliated with BlueBucks; both sets of rappers had flourishing solo careers but found that their joint efforts drew enough attention to warrant recording full projects. “Get Back Gang” is a prime example of the strength of Rucci and AzChike’s bond, as they demonstrate complementary strengths both in the back-and-forth flow on the verses and the concurrent rhymes on the chorus.

Watch AzChike and Rucci’s “Get Back Gang” performance above.

UPROXX Sessions is Uproxx’s performance show featuring the hottest up-and-coming acts you should keep an eye on. Featuring creative direction from LA promotion collective, Ham On Everything, and taking place on our “bathroom” set designed and painted by Julian Gross, UPROXX Sessions is a showcase of some of our favorite performers, who just might soon be yours, too.

Post Malone apparently loves turn-of-the-millennium-era trading card games. Back in February, the “One Right Now” crooner teamed up with Nintendo’s monster-collecting juggernaut to celebrate Pokémon Day, the 25th anniversary of the release of the original video game turned card game turned name-an-industry-and-Pikachu-has-probably-dominated-it brand. Now, he’s shuffling in a new deck of cards alongside Wizards of the Coast to promote the return of Friday Night Magic, a program propagating the play of the popular game, Magic: The Gathering.

More than 8,000 stores will participate worldwide as Wizards promises more events, promotions, partnerships, and online experiences coming in 2022. While details remain relatively sparse at the moment, a press release quoted Posty, who said, “I’m obsessed with Magic: The Gathering. This is really a dream come true. We’ll be doing some cool stuff so keep an eye out.”

Meanwhile, Wizards of the Coast Head of Franchise Marketing Nathan Stewart said, “You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger fan of Magic: The Gathering than Post Malone. As a fan for years, he knows just how much Friday Night Magic means to players. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Posty in ways that will allow his signature style, talent, and love of the game to combine in ways fans will never forget.”

It looks like all Post needs to complete the trifecta will be a similar collaboration with the makers of Yu-Gi-Oh! For now, we look forward to seeing what he and Wizards of the Coast come up with for 2022 as we brush up on the latest card releases in anticipation.
