Adele’s Birthday Photo Dump Shows Off Her Weight Loss

Adele’s casual photo dump gave a rare sneak peek into the singer living her best life, still without revealing any real details about her birthday celebration. The post was a huge hit nonetheless, accumulating over 4 million likes in just a few hours.

The first photo in the set is a striking black-and-white image of the singer, followed by a photo of her swimming in clear waters with a gleeful smile. The last photo, an action shot of her twirling in a tie-dye dress, shows off her fit figure. 

Adele’s weight loss was a big accomplishment for the singer, and has followed her in the headlines ever since. Her sudden reveal of her over 100-pound weight loss left the industry stunned, applauding the singer for her dramatic transformation.

After all the attention from her first weight loss post, she has remained fairly inactive on social media. The singer fell off the music scene in 2015, after the release of her third album, 25,leaving fans mystified by her new elusive personality.

Her seemingly random return to social media has sparked album release rumors among fans on social media, as many have commented. The singer teased at the album during her SNL appearance in September, making a joke out of the commentary she received upon her host announcement saying, “Why isn’t she the musical guest?’ And stuff like that, and there’s a couple of reasons. My album’s not finished, and I’m also too scared to do both.”

LVRN’s OMB Bloodbath, BRS Kash, WS Boogie & 6LACK Unite For “Just Say That”

LVRN (Love Renaissance) recently issued a clear reminder that they are not to be trifled with on the microphone. In fact, in order to emphasize that very point, the label brought signees 6LACK, Westside Boogie, BRS Kash, OMB Bloodbath, and NoonieVsEverybody into the mix for a good old fashioned cypher, released as part of their new Spotify Singles collaboration; check that out for yourself right here, especially if you can appreciate bars. 

In addition to the LVRN rap clinic, the label also let fly another Spotify Single drop with “Just Say That,” which features OMB Bloodbath, Westside Boogie, BRS Kash, and 6LACK. Though clocking in at a little under three minutes, each contributing member makes their presence felt over the hard-hitting production from Lvusm, Qioh & Slimwav. It’s clear that LVRN isn’t playing around with these drops, and we can only hope they keep this energy rolling when their next compilation album rolls around. Check out “Just Say That,” an ode to honesty if ever there was one, and sound off with your thoughts below.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Politics, no not the boy, she tryna be my pride and joy
Action, what you waitin’ for? Film, direct it, I record
You just want a stimmy, can’t offend me, girl just say that
Put you on a big screen, let you out your play back
Might have to relay that so they know I don’t play that

Travis Scott’s Comeback Astroworld Festival Tickets Reportedly Sold Out In An Hour

Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival is making its return this year after being postponed due to COVID safety precautions and the year off did nothing to dull fans’ fervor. According to a press release from Live Nation, the festival’s organizers, tickets to this year’s fest sold out less than an hour after they became available at 10 am CT this afternoon. Even more impressively, neither Scott nor Live Nation has announced a lineup, although the previous fests have included guests like DaBaby, Lil Wayne, Megan Thee Stallion, and Post Malone.

While this year’s lineup will be announced closer to the event dates (November 5-6 at NRG Park in Houston, Texas), one performer is a given: Travis Scott himself. Whether his new album, speculatively titled Utopia, will be out by then is anyone’s guess, but considering how antsy some of Travis’ fellow stars have been to release their delayed 2020 offerings, it’s a safe bet he’ll at least be previewing songs from it, even with a potential setlist full of surefire hits like “Sicko Mode,” “Goosebumps,” and “Franchise.”

As in prior years, Travis’s festival will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Cactus Jack Foundation, which looks to enrich the lives of young people by providing access to education and creative resources. You can learn more about the nonprofit here. Meanwhile, you can stay tuned to Astroworld Festival updates at the official site.

Megan Thee Stallion Lands Her Own Snapchat Series

We’re slowly approaching what should be another Hot Girl Summer. Over the past two years, Megan Thee Stallion has dominated the charts and streaming platforms as a Southern titan in the rap game. The two-year run has undoubtedly taken a few unexpected twists and turns but it also earned the Houston rapper two number one singles and a #2 debut on the Billboard 200.

Though she hasn’t made any announcements for a new project, it seems she’ll be keeping herself busy in the foreseeable future with an upcoming series on Snapchat. Megan Thee Stallion, along with her pet dog Foe Thee Frenchie, will be the hosts of the platform’s new series, Off Thee Leash.

“With multiple Grammys to her name, including Best New Artist, Megan Thee Stallion commands the charts, popular culture, and now Snapchat! In this new series, she’ll be joined by celebrity friends and their pets hosted in a way that only Megan can,” the show’s description reads. 

Off Thee Leash will find Meg connecting with other dog moms on the Hot Girl Ranch where they’ll explore their love for pets, among other topics.

The announcement of a new show comes shortly after the rapper announced a brief hiatus to recharge. Maybe we’ll be getting some new music from her after the launch of her upcoming series. Check Meg’s announcement below. 

Freddie Gibbs Connects With Drake For A Photo Op

The next release from Freddie Gibbs is shaping up to be his best, at least from the list of producers he revealed that he’s been working with. Usual suspects like The Alchemist and Madlib have secured slots but others like Pharrell, Metro Boomin, Mike Will Made It, and more have also been confirmed for SSS.

The rapper has yet to tease any of the features on the project but we could probably suspect some Griselda cameos on the tracklist. However, Gibbs’ latest photo dump on Instagram has left fans hoping that he’ll be trading bars with the 6ix God himself. The rapper took to Instagram where he shared a photo of himself alongside Drake, presumably in Los Angeles somewhere. The caption only read, “Photo dump” along with a bunny and owl emoji but a few comments left underneath the picture might indicate a collab in the works. Gibbs’ right-hand man Diego, wrote, “6GOD X LORDS,” along with five star emojis. “Sounds about right,” he added. Meanwhile, Gibbs manager Lambo wrote, “BIG BOSS OWL.” 

Mind you, none of this actually confirms that they’ve locked in the studio but it seems inevitable at this point. Gibbs has previously been seen clubbing with OVO affiliate Baka in the past. Freddie Gibbs has previously listed Drake among his top 5 MCs in the game during a podcast with Bootleg Kev last year and has also mentioned in a separate that he wanted to go bar-for-bar with the Toronto rapper.

Beyoncé Once Told Victoria Beckham How Inspired She Was By The Spice Girls

It goes without saying that Beyoncé is the prototype for what it means to be a pop icon — music, fashion, film, philanthropy, art and activism are just some of the worlds where she wears the title of “Queen Bey.” However, there was a point when she was just a member in a burgeoning R&B quarter-turned-trio by the name of Destiny’s Child in the ’90s, a time period dominated by another female pop group: The Spice Girls.

Many who watched episode six of Selena: The Series may have peeped a pre-fame baby Bey meeting the late Tejano music icon during a chance encounter, but it was actually Victoria Beckham who let the world know how much Beyoncé was manifesting ‘Girl Power’ while on the come-up.

Speaking with the Breaking Beauty podcast via Dear Media, Posh Spice says of being a source of inspiration for the biggest pop star out, “I met Beyoncé a few years ago, and she actually said to me, ‘It was the Spice Girls that inspired me and made me want to do what I do and made me proud to be a girl and proud to be who I am.'” She followed up by stating her approval of the co-sign, further adding, “When someone like Beyoncé, who is so iconic and was such a strong woman, says that she was inspired by the Spice Girls, I think that’s quite something.”

Both The Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child garnered a handful of number one singles, landed a bunch of major brand endorsements, spearheaded questionable-yet-iconic ’90s fashions moments and ultimately created a lane for women in music that allowed for girl groups after them to prosper at even greater lengths. In short, it makes a lot of sense for The Spice Girls to be one of Beyoncé’s core influences.

Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner “Not Fully Back Together” Despite Birthday PDA

Let the rumors continue… according to multiple sources, Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner are not back together, despite videos showing them very publicly displaying their affection for one another during La Flame’s birthday weekend in Miami. 

After Kylie Jenner was spotted in Miami for Travis Scott’s birthday party, fans speculated that Stormi’s parents had gotten back together. While Travis and Kylie have remained close during their split, co-parenting their three-year-old daughter, they have consistently shut down dating rumors every time the gossip makes its way to the news. This time was no different.

The former couple reportedly had dinner at Komodo before heading to LIV Miami, where Travis performed over the weekend. “They were very close and affectionate,” said an insider, according to PEOPLE. “They kept flirting and looked happy.” A second source added, “They definitely seemed to be together, without making a big deal of being together.”

Kylie was updating her social media pages throughout the night, posting one video that caught everyone’s attention where she sticks out her foot in Travis’ direction before the rapper proceeds to play around with her. 

Despite the pair being pretty close, sources say they’re “not fully back together.” However, neither of them has publicly dated anybody else since they broke up so the door has always been open for a possible reconciliation. Do you think Travis and Kylie might get back together at some point?

Silento Requests $25K Bail Following Murder Charge

The artist of Billboard’s no. 3 2015 hit single “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” reemerged into the public spotlight in Februrary, but not for any musical reason. Silento shocked the public after news broke of him being charged for the murder of his cousin, Frederick Rooks. Now awaiting trial, he is focused on exercising his right for bail — starting at the low ball of $25,000.

In documents obtained by TMZ, Silento claims he will not flee if released on bail. He claims he is “not an extraordinary bail risk and will not jeopardize the safety of the community if released on bail.”

The 23-year-old rapper was arrested twice in 2020, once in September for threatening with a hatchet” in an incident involving his girlfriend where he was held on a bond of $250K. Around a month later, he was once again for reckless driving charges. As the murder charge is his third charge in less than a year, the possibility of being granted such a low bail seems unlikely for him.

Silento’s sudden spike in criminal activity can reportedly be attributed to mental health issues according to a statement by his publicist (read our piece on her statement here). The singer has been open and transparent about his problems, detailing his childhood in an interview on the CBS show The Doctors (watch above), stating “depression doesn’t leave you when you become famous, it just adds more pressure.”

The fate of the struggling singer will be determined at his bond hearing set to take place before the end of the month. Stay tuned to HNHH for updates.
