Draya Michele Shares Stunning Shots In Sheer Top

by

When it comes to delivering consistently sultry photos on Instagram, Draya Michele is always someone you can count on. While her looks and persona are enough to earn her public acclaim, her time in the spotlight has not been without controversy. Most recently and notably, the 36-year-old reality star lost her Savage x Fenty sponsorship after making a poorly executed joke regarding Megan thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s relationship. She has apologized profusely for the remarks and hasn’t been involved in any other high-scrutiny scandals since. Amping up for a big career jump this year, the model took some time to share some scandalous shots.

In the photos, Draya flaunted her stunning figure in a skintight, sheer, caramel-colored patterned top. Appearing braless, she paired the bold fit with an extremely high slit miniskirt in a pale-white shade. 

She added strappy tan heels and a matching Louis Vuitton bag. Giving a fierce strut in the respective photoset, she styled her hair in protective dreads and stunner shades. Scroll through the alluring photos below.

“It didn’t need 4 slides but consider it a bonus or whatever,” she wrote, referencing the gallery view she had offered fans of the sexy look. 

The photos arrive as the reality TV alum has been spotted out shooting her 10-part docu-series “Doses of Draya.” Despite losing her lucrative deal with Rihanna’s best-selling lingerie line, she seems to be doing pretty well in other departments. She released a collab with popular brand Oh Polly in 2020 and landed herself her own Doses of Draya docu-series after appearing on Basketball Wives LA. 

Speaking on the venture, she explained, “As a woman of color, I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Zeus, a Black-owned streaming service, to share my story, and to let people into my daily life in a way I never really have before.”

Lil Durk & Lil Baby Take A Private Jet To Hit The Studio For Joint Mixtape

by

nquiring about a collaborative project It was only a few weeks ago when fans began inquiring about a collaborative project from Lil Baby and Lil Durk. The pair have showcased the strength of their chemistry over the past year but it seems that even they have understood the power they have when they’re on wax together. So, they confirmed that a collaborative project would happen and they’ve continued to share very small updates on the status of the project which largely consists of the two hanging out together.

The project appears to be at the forefront of their minds right now. Just a few weeks ago, both artists hinted that the project would be arriving “so soon.” They appear to still be clocking in hours in the studio so it’s unclear how soon this project could arrive. However, they’re still keeping fans on their toes. The two shared footage of themselves on a private plane, though it’s unclear what their location is. Shortly after, they shared footage of the two in the studio, working away. The joint effort from the Chicago rapper and Atlanta artist is reportedly called, The Voice Of The Heroes. 

A collab project from the two artists couldn’t come at a better time in their careers. Durk is riding high off of the release of The Voice and is continuing to push the latest OTF compilation, Loyal Bros. As for Baby, he’s fresh off of the Grammys stage. Though he didn’t leave with any awards, his performance was undoubtedly the most talked about. 

Yung Miami Shares Footage Welcoming Mother Home From Prison

by

It’s been around four years since Keenya Young, the mother of City Girls’ rapper Yung Miami, had been sentenced to five years behind bars and 10 years probation in connection with a hit and run incident that happened back in 2009. Sentenced in 2017, it seems like she was even granted an early release by the state of Florida. Previously, we reported that City Girls’ rapper Yung Miami had announced her mother’s scheduled release from prison on Saturday (March 27) on her Twitter account.

“My mom get out tomorrow,” tweeted the “Jobs” artist on Friday (March 26). “I’m so anxious,” she continued.

“My Mom left me with 2 kids plus Jai I was 22 going on 23 I didn’t know what to do I had to figure it out. Look at me now God is so good,” penned the rapper in a second tweet.

Continuing the documentation of her mother’s arrival back home on another social media channel, the Miami native took to her Instagram page to share the tear-jerking moment she reunited with her mother. 

“Welcome back,” penned the rapper in the caption of Instagram footage featuring her mom officially leaving prison and heading towards her. Tons of Miami’s famous friends congratulated the rapper for finally being able to reunite with her mother, including Quavo, who wrote, “That’s hard mama free,” with prayer hands. 

The 27-year-old recently took to Twitter to demand respect for the progress she’s made as an emcee. “For me to only be rapping for 3 yrs with no experience I feel like I do good af idgaf who think differently,” she wrote.

She continued,“I use to be so shy and nervous I couldn’t record in front of nobody and I never wanted nobody to hear but now I’m more confident ion care who in the room I be like turn it up!!! Tf.”

Jack Harlow Makes His ‘SNL’ Debut With Performances Of ‘Tyler Herro,’ ‘What’s Poppin’ And ‘Same Guy’

by

There’s no denying the success of Jack Harlow. The Louisville spitter took the music world by storm at the beginning of 2020 thanks to the success of his “What’s Poppin” and closed out the year with the release of his debut album That’s What They Say. In between it all, he peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard singles chart, landed multiple guest features, and proved that he was here to stay in the industry. While his 2020 success is behind him, Harlow continues to deliver impressive moments and the latest example came through his debut performance on Saturday Night Live.

Harlow began the night by giving an energetic rendition of “Tyler Herro” and “What’s Poppin.” Dressed in all black under purple and blue and supported by a talented live band, the rapper’s sheer confidence was on full display on stage to start the night. Later on in the show, he returned with Maroon 5’s Adam Levine to perform “Same Guy,” another highlight from That’s What They Say. This performance came with a much lighter atmosphere as the duo sang about recognizing their bad qualities as men and expressing their desire to change and improve.

The SNL set comes after Harlow brought his talents to NPR’s Tiny Desk for a soulful performance of multiple songs from That’s What They Say. He also recently shared a video for “Route 66” off the album.

You can watch the performances in the video above.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Maya Rudolph Brought Her Beyonce Impression To ‘Hot Ones’ In A Hilariously Throwback ‘SNL’ Sketch

by

Maya Rudolph warned during her opening monologue that she would be wearing lots of wigs and doing impressions on Saturday Night Live, and thankfully for us that meant bringing back her Beyonce impression. The former cast member had hosting duties in its latest episode, and thankfully for us that meant a throwback-feeling segment about a very modern concept: Beyonce appearing on the web show Hot Ones to eat some very spicy chicken wings.

The sketch is a throwback to the era in which Rudolph thrived. It’s an absurd concept to begin with: the most famous musician in the world showing up on a show where you eat spicy wings and promote something while answering softball questions. But it’s a sketch that actually critiques not just the thing it’s parodying — an incredibly popular YouTube show — but Beyonce’s notorious attempts to control her image in the media.

Seeing Beyonce struggle with absurdly-named hot wing sauces and curse out the host, played by Mikey Day, is a departure from anything we’ve seen from the actual singer in years. At one point, Rudolph’s Beyonce is so overcome by the heat of the wings that she asked her stylist to take her wig off, put ice cubes in it and put it back on. Her “publicist” then stepped in to refuse to let that happen on camera.

The joke here is, after years of carefully cultivating her image in the public eye, Beyonce would never do anything like this. Or at least we’d never find out about it. Later, realizing just how many more wings she still needs to endure, she has her manager step in to call the whole thing off, with non-disclosure agreements all around to make sure no evidence of it ever happening.

It was great to see Rudolph play a character that’s not Kamala Harris and be free of the political news cycle that brought her back to the SNL stage at various points over the last year. And it was a strong start to an episode that reminded many viewers of the kind of sketch that was more common when Rudolph was a more permanent member of the show’s cast.

SpotemGottem’s “Beat Box” Gets A New Freestyle From Shenseea

by

SpotemGottem is a name that has been bubbling as of late, especially thanks to his viral hit song “Beat Box.” The beat is extremely hard and SpotemGottem’s performance is enough to make fans want even more from him, in the future. With the song’s virality in mind, it should be no surprise that numerous artists have done freestyle’s over the track, including the likes of Mulatto and DaBaby. The song continues to amass a ton of attention and on Friday, Jamaican singer Shenseea offered up her own rendition of the song.

Shenseea brings incredible energy to the song as she delivers braggadocios lyrics all while incorporating a Jamaican sound into the mix. The beat is perfectly suited for this style and if you didn’t know who Shenseea was before this, well you definitely do now. This is perhaps the most unique “Beat Box” freestyle that has been released so far, and it is well worth a listen.

Kodak Black Launches L.O.V.E. Clothing Line To Benefit Judicial Reform

by

It surely seems like Kodak Black has been keeping busy since Trump pardoned him as one of his last acts as President. The creative juices have definitely been flowing for the Pompano Beach native, who revealed last week that he had recorded 167 songs since being granted clemency. While it is easy to overlook his more serious positions due to his social media antics and public persona, the rapper has long been an advocate for criminal justice reform. Embarking on a new venture to benefit this cause, Kodak is set to debut a new clothing line with part of the proceeds going towards backing judicial reform.

Kodak’s attorney Bradford Cohen shared the news with TMZ that the rapper would be launching a new clothing line named L.O.V.E., which is an acronym for “Loyalty Out Values Everything.” While the brand is only in its developing stages, Cohen says major retailers like Foot Locker, Footaction, City Gear, and Snipes have already pre-ordered shipments of apparel. 

So far, TMZ reports that L.O.V.E. has already nearly sold out all its first run of pre-orders with plans to introduce a sneaker line and possibly link up with other brands down the road. 

Most notably, Kodak plans to donate a portion of the profits to different charities and organizations locally and around the globe dedicated to empowering minorities and judicial reform. 

Since having his sentence commuted by Trump, Kodak has been pretty consistent in giving back. He recently set up a scholarship in the name of one of the Parkland victims and is continuing his charitable donations.
