Nivea Admits That R. Kelly Flirted With Her When She Was Younger

While R. Kelly awaits the start of his sex trafficking trial in New York this summer, his name has also come up in conversation during Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast. In a recent clip, R&B singer and songwriter Nivea joins the Lip Service cast for a conversation about dating preferences between younger or older men. After a question about “geriatric penis” from Angela Yee goes south, one of the Lip Service co-hosts questions whether Nivea and R. Kelly ever had sex.

Nivea and R. Kelly notably worked together on her 2001 hit single “Laundromat” as well as other records like “Touchin'” and “The One For Me.” A couple of years ago, the R&B songstress told DJ Vlad that she never noticed R. Kelly’s creepy tendencies when she was younger, but while talking with Angela Yee, Lore’l, and Gigi Maguire, Nivea does reveal that R. Kelly did flirt with her back in the day.

“Have you ever had geriatric penis, like old penis?” Angela Yee asks Nivea, to which she replies, “It just depends.” Angela Yee then presses on the topic and asks, “Like how old is old?”

After Nivea reveals that she has had sex with someone who is roughly 20 years older than her, Lore’l then follows up her statement by asking Nivea if she was referring to R. Kelly. “No!” Nivea responds, visibly disgusted and clearly thrown off by the question. Lore’l explains that the question simply arose due to their working relationship in the past and rephrases her question, instead asking Nivea if R. Kelly ever tried to talk to her when she was younger.

“Yes, he did,” Nivea reveals. “The thing is, being in the industry as a young, little girl or a young female, the industry is filled with men. Everybody’s trying to talk to you, girl!”

Tom Brady & Patrick Mahomes Grace The Cover Of “Madden 22”

Every single year, fans get excited about which athletes are going to grace the cover of their favorite sports video games. When it comes to the NFL, gamers are interested in seeing who ends up on the Madden cover, especially when you consider how there has always been a curse associated with the cover. Either way, Madden 22 is set to drop at the end of the summer and the anticipation of who is going to be on the cover has been building up.

Well, today, EA Sports finally unveiled their Madden 22 cover and it turns out that two players have made it onto the cover. Yep, that’s right, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes will both get to be on the packaging. These two fought a hard battle in the Super Bowl this past February and the two have been nicknamed “GOAT and the Baby GOAT.”

This is the MVP Edition cover which means there could still be another cover for the regular game. Some people believe Derrick Henry could end up on the cover of that game, which would make a whole lot of sense considering the past couple of years he’s had.

Either way, this is a dope cover and we’re sure hardcore football fans will be ready to cop the new game come August.

FKA Twigs & Shia LaBeouf Abuse Lawsuit Nears Settlement

Six months after “Cellophane” singer FKA Twigs came forward and filed legal action against her allegedly abusive ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf, the two are nearing a settlement with the sexual battery lawsuit. 

The case was addressed at a remote hearing earlier in the week, where the judge set up a follow-up court date for December 15.

FKA Twigs’ lawyer reported, “The parties have been engaged in productive settlement negotiations and are in the process of arranging for an early mediation.

If the case is not settled by December 15, the judge suggested that the trial for the case would begin in the early months of 2023.

The singer spilled it all in an interview for ELLE in early February, detailing her horrific experiences with LaBeouf from the couple’s Valentine’s Day trip that almost turned lethal, to everyday gaslighting and isolation.

She credited luck for being able to escape the abusive situation, noting she narrowly survived LaBeouf who once said he “would have killed” ex-girlfriend Mia Goth if he had not left the scene of the argument.

As we reported, LaBeouf has taken some accountability for his actions, telling the New York Times, “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.”

The actor’s attorney told Variety, “Shia needs help and he knows that. We are actively seeking the kind of meaningful, intensive, long-term inpatient treatment that he desperately needs.”

Tyler The Creator Announces The Release Date Of His New Album, ‘Call Me If You Get Lost’

After a week of cryptic teases and colorful previews, Tyler The Creator has announced the official release date of his next album, Call Me If You Get Lost. The album title comes as no surprise after it was prominently featured in much of the mysterious early rollout, but the release date may, as it’s less than two weeks away, on June 25. The announcement came complete with a crisp, retro-styled website with the videos for “Side Street” and “Lumberjack,” as well as a link to pre-purchase box sets including a CD, a poster, a T-shirt, and a commemorative box.

The marketing around Call Me If You Get Lost appears to ditch Tyler’s Andy Warhol-inspired Igor persona in favor of “Tyler Beaudelaire,” but maintains much of the retro feel of that album’s rollout, with videos shot to resemble Super 8 tapes and styling influenced by 1970s couture (check out those vintage trunks in the “Lumberjack” video). Meanwhile, a press release for the album promises that the hotline set up to preview the music from the album will remain active and periodically update with new snippets leading up to the release. In addition to the box set CDs, the website for Call Me If You Get Lost features cassette tapes of the album, sticking with the retro theme.

Check out the album cover and link to the pre-order website above.

Young Dolph Brags That Tough Times Are ‘Nothing To Me’ With Snupe Bandz And PaperRoute Woo

Young Dolph might be semi-retired, but it looks like he’ll still turn up to position his Paper Route Empire employees for success. In the newly released “Nothing To Me” video, the Memphis boss brags that tough times will never decrease his loyalty to his crew. “You catch a body, I’m gon’ pay the bail and the lawyer, that’s nothing to me,” he boasts.

Then, he cedes the floor to his PRE signees Snupe Bandz and PaperRoute Woo, who deliver their own takes on the subject matter. The video sees all three rappers enjoying themselves on a private jet, showing off stacks of cash.

The “Nothing To Me” video arrives after Young Dolph’s retirement announcement, which came in the midst of the successful rollout for Dolph and PRE protege Key Glock’s joint album, Dum & Dummer 2. Over the course of the several weeks they spent promoting the album, the duo released videos for “Aspen,” “Penguins,” “Rain Rain,” and “A Goat & A Dolphin,” among others.

Now that they’ve completed the album cycle, it seems Dolph has turned his attentions to promoting his Paper Route Empire brand, putting out the single “Plenty Cake” with DJ-Q, and helping to work singles for signees like Chitana, Kenny Muney, and Big Moochie Grape.

Anthony Edwards Unimpressed After LaMelo Ball Gets Crowned ROTY

Yesterday, LaMelo Ball was officially crowned Rookie of the Year in the NBA. This was a bit surprising when you consider how Ball was injured for a good chunk of the season. While LaMelo was out, players like Anthony Edwards thrived, and some people had Edwards taking ROTY given Melo’s injury issues. Regardless, Edwards’ efforts weren’t enough to overcome Ball’s strong start, and the award went to the Charlotte Hornets superstar.

Edwards seemingly took issue with this as he reposted an Instagram story from a fan who said that Melo can’t hang with Edwards. The fan even said that Ball should give his trophy back, and Edwards seems to agree with the sentiment. Meanwhile, on Twitter, Edwards agreed with a fan who said that Edwards is about to be unleashed next season and it’s all because of his ROTY snub.

There is no better motivation than not getting recognized for your efforts, and it seems like Edwards is subscribing to that idea. Of course, the Timberwolves still have a lot of work to do before they’re any good although Edwards at least gives them a chance to be competitive on any given night.

As of next season, his battle with LaMelo will be incredibly intriguing and we can’t wait to see how it all goes down.

Rick Ross & Biggie Trade Bars In New Snippet

Rick Ross’ upcoming album Richer Than I’ve Ever Been has seen a few delays, and while that might prove frustrating to some, it would appear that the Boss is simply taking his time to perfect the project. That’s not to say he’s kept us entirely in the dark. Renzel has been relatively generous with his snippets, having previously shared a glimpse at an Isaac Hayes-sampling track a few months back.

Now, he’s come through with another tantalizing peek at what’s to come, revealing that he actually managed to secure a posthumous verse from The Notorious B.I.G. Ross took to Instagram to showcase the unreleased duet, which finds him going back-and-forth with the late legend over a sample of Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle.”

Based on Biggie’s bars, it would appear that the verse in question is drawn from “Hustler’s Story” off the 2005 compilation Duets: The Final Chapter. Still, the way it’s broken up and structured to appear as if he’s trading bars with Rozay makes this one feel new and exciting. It’s entirely possible that Rozay’s recent meetings with Diddy had something to do with this one’s creation, as the timing would certainly suggest a link. 

Given that Ross has actually drawn comparisons to Biggie throughout the years, it’s interesting to hear them presented on equal footing, segueing into one another over a bouncy bass-driven beat. Check out the snippet of the upcoming collab between Rick Ross and the late Notorious B.I.G, presumably set to appear on Richer Than I’ve Ever Been when that ultimately drops later this year. 

Baby Keem Wishes Kendrick Lamar Happy Birthday With A Hilarious (& Pretty Sus) Song

Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar have been working very closely on their mysterious record label pgLang for the last year. They haven’t revealed much information about it, aside from its existence, but Keem and Kendrick have grown their relationship working behind-the-scenes on the project. The two cousins have worked together for a long time, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see how comfortable they are with one another. As Kendrick celebrates his thirty-fourth birthday today, he woke up to a ridiculous (and pretty sus) song from Keem, which must have come as a shock to the birthday boy.

“Happy birthday my n***a, I got a song for you my n***a,” wrote Baby Keem on Instagram, tagging Kendrick in the post. It was a voice note of a guitar melody topped by Keem’s vocals, singing, “Happy birthday, bitch. I got a gift for you, it’s my dick. Ay, happy birthday, bitch. I got a gift for you, it’s my dick. Make a wish!”

People in the comments are having difficulty picturing how Kendrick would even react to this, but it’s coming from his cousin, so he’ll probably laugh about it to his wife. Lil Yachty appropriately commented “Pause lol” and producer Cardo said he was “cryan” over how ridiculous this all is.

Listen to Baby Keem’s birthday wishes for Kendrick Lamar below. Happy birthday, Kendrick!

At the end of the video, we get a “dedication to indigenous women to reclaim their bodies and heal our lineage through sacred natural birth. May you find your way to that inner knowing. May we educate, empower, and assist each other through the sacred journey of becoming and being a mother.”

This is Kyrie’s second child, and we congratulate him and Wilkerson on this wonderful moment in both of their lives.
