Megan Thee Stallion To Rebuild Homes For Single Moms Affected By Houston Freeze
A few weeks ago, Texas experienced a historic deep freeze that left millions of people in the state without power while also destroying the homes of many individuals whose infrastructure was simply not built to deal with that type of weather. While power has largely been restored, many people are now without homes. Houston-native and self-proclaimed H-Town Hottie Megan thee Stallion is joining forces with U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee and a local charity to help rebuild the homes of those in need.

The “Body” rapper has joined forces with Lee and executives from the National Association of Christian Churches (NACC) Disaster Services to provide help to senior citizens and single moms whose homes were impacted during the deadly winter storms and deep freeze that struck the state last month (February 2021).
The initiative will be backed by heads at brands like Revlon, Fashion Nova, and Coach, as well as her label 300 Entertainment, and Dolce & Gabbana. Her “Body” music video co-star Taraji P. Henson and Maroon 5 have also been listed as donors to the fund, which will continue on for the next two years.
In a statement released by the superstar, she wrote, “Seeing the devastation and hearing the heartbreaking stories that have surfaced, I knew I had to do something to help my hometown.”
She continued, “I am so happy that Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, the NACC and I aligned on the goal of repairing the homes of the elderly and uninsured single moms who are the most vulnerable and often displaced by these kinds of devastating events.”
Along with Megan, fellow Houston-natives Travis Scott and Beyoncé have both made efforts aimed at helping relieve some of the disasters.

YG, Megan Thee Stallion, Big Sean & More Show Out On “Coming 2 America” Soundtrack
The hype surrounding Coming 2 America has been real. There’s been anticipation for a sequel to the film for years now, though there’s always been some sort of skepticism regarding whether it would actually come to life. The film arrived a day earlier than expected on Amazon Prime. Given the amount of star power they brought on for the film, it was only right that the soundtrack represents it equally. The Coming 2 America OST arrived on Friday along with another body of work called Rhythms Of Zamunda highlighting predominantly African artists. They bring together some of the biggest names from America and Africa on board with artists like Burna Boy, Teyana Taylor, Davido, Tiwa Savage, YG, Big Sean, and more contributing.

Beyonce Sings A Medley Of Her Songs To Honor 13-Year-Old Fan Lyric Chanel
Back in September Beyonce sent flowers to a 13-year-old girl after the singer saw a video of her singing one of her songs. Her name was Lyric Chanel, and she was in the midst of what would be a two-year battle with brain cancer and anaplastic ependymoma. That fight came to a sad end on Friday after news arrived that Chanel unfortunately passed away.
In response Beyonce shared a moving medley of her hits to honor Chanel. The two-minute tribute finds her singing “Brown Skin Girl,” “Halo,” and “Love on Top.” She also replaced the word “baby” with “Lyric” while singing the chorus of the latter song. The medley also comes with a video that shows many pictures and clips from Chanel’s life, including one of her rocking some of Beyonce’s Ivy Park gear, which the singer sent her back in October. “Thank you so much @beyonce this couldn’t have come at a better time,” Chanel wrote in a post celebrating the package. “Just got back from getting Chemo and look at the surprise that was waiting. I love you so much.”
The Go Gold For Childhood Cancer Instagram account shared the sad news on Friday. “Lyric gained her angel wings this morning at the age of 13 years old,” they wrote. “Lyric bravely battled Anaplastic Ependymoma and endured more than a child ever should. She loved singing, listening to music, and dancing. I know she most definitely dancing with all the angels right now. Watch over your family baby girl! You are forever missed!”
You can listen to the medley in the video above.

Thought I left it back at home but it just follows through the night
I could have gave you the world, book us up and catch a flight
Took you out to Saint Laurent and buy whatever’s in your size
Saweetie Hints At Upcoming Collab With Someone “Iconic,” Fans Speculate It’s Nicki Minaj
Saweetie has been slowly unveiling the rollout of her highly anticipated debut studio album Pretty B*tch Music. Throughout quarantine, the California-bred rapper has managed to maintain a heavy presence musically, in part due to a number of her songs going viral on TikTok. She’s unleashed three singles from the album, beginning with the lead single “Tap In,” followed by “Back to the Streets” with Jhené Aiko, and most recently “Best Friend” with Doja Cat. The self-proclaimed Icy Girl is now hinting to fans about who her next big-name feature is.

The 27-year-old hinted to fans on Instagram that she’s got a major feature in the works, dropping hints that the respective artist is a woman, and she’s pretty legendary in her own right. “pretty b*tchin omw to the studio to do a feature for someone……. guess who,” she penned in the caption of a photoset where she rocked a pink Birkin bag, Jordan 1s and an oversized hoodie. She continued, “hint: she’s iconic.”
While that was where the clues of who the anonymous feature ended, her track record of collaborations thus far points to it very likely being an iconic female rapper. While it could be legends like Lil Kim or Missy Elliot, most fans think the “My Type” rapper is suggesting she has a Nicki Minaj collaboration on the way.
She recently released the second version of her “Best Friend” single with an added verse from Stefflon Don. Who do you think Saweetie may have an upcoming collaboration with? Let us know down in the comments.

Sukihana Challenges King Von’s Sister To Fight After Trolling Her Tattoo
King Von’s sister has found herself in many feuds since the death of her brother. She and Asian Doll went at it for a while and she’s also faced accusations of clout chasing. That is his sister, after all, and they both had an incredibly tight relationship up until the day he passed. They were often seen alongside one another at most events.
Von’s sister Kayla shared a video of a new tattoo she got in honor of her late brother. It’s a portrait of her brother’s face on her leg but it didn’t receive the type of reception you’d expect. She was immediately trolled over the new piece but it was Sukihana who may have taken it too far. In a comment on IG, Sukihana flamed the tattoo, claiming the tattoo looks like a portrait of one of the members of the Ying Yang Twins.
Kayla ultimately caught wind of the comments and fired back at Sukihana, though she didn’t seem concerned about the matter. She did, however, plant the seed for a potential fight. “Find you something 2 do before I put a date on it,” she wrote. Suki was down for the challenge. She aired out a Kayla B on IG with a challenge to actually square up for a $30K prize. “I feel like what’s credible — ’cause none of the shit y’all doing is credible. What’s credible is gettin’ in that ring. You got smoke with that hoe? You feel like I disrespected you? Bitch, get in that ring,” Sukihana said. At the end of the day, Suki is all about a dollar and she said that she would rather duke it out than be miserable over the internet.
“Get money hoes, we don’t do that. We get money,” she continued. “I’mma challenge you to get in that ring with me and I got, not ten, not 20, but 30 bands, you feel me? Come get this money.
No word no whether this fight has been picked up but we can’t say this wouldn’t be an interesting match-up. Peep Suki’s video below.

August Alsina Tells A Touching Story With “Pretty” Music Video
All the way back in June, August Alsina came through with his project The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy which had a whopping 27 songs, including the single “Pretty” which was a lovely song that immediately grabbed people’s attention. On Thursday, Alsina decided to drop the music video for the track and the entire production was directed by the likes of Megan Gomez. As you will immediately find out, the video has an inspiring message as it shows visuals of women who have been through extremely tough times but always strive to persevere, no matter what.
This message fits the lyrics quite perfectly as Alsina sings “Lord knows, only the Lord knows, how you’ve been through so much but you keep it so cold, and you hold it all inside, you don’t let a thing go, I know that you seen it all but you still never told.” There is a lot of emotion to be felt here and overall, the artistic choices come together beautifully.
You can check out the entire video, above.
Joel Embiid Makes Massive Donation Ahead Of All-Star Game
Joel Embiid has become one of the biggest sports stars in Philadelphia and his play on the court reflects someone who is already a superstar in his own right. On Sunday, Embiid will get to take part in the NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta and as a bonus, Embiid will receive $100,000. However, Embiid has decided to redirect this new income into a good cause, as he will be officially giving it to various charities around Philadelphia that are mainly centered around homelessness.
According to ESPN, Embiid will be donating to Project HOME, Sunday Breakfast Mission, and Youth Service Inc. His contributions will lead to thousands of meals, medical care for the homeless, and even clothes being provided. It’s a great initiative that demonstrates what kind of person Embiid is.

“So many have fallen on such hard times during the pandemic,” Embiid said. “I felt it was important to provide more support for individuals and families struggling with homelessness and food insecurity. I’m continually grateful for all of the support that Philadelphia and the fans have given me not just around All-Star but all my years in the league. I will continue to help in any way I can.”
Embiid’s new contributions will go a very long way to making a difference in the community. It has become obvious that Embiid wants to make long-term commitments to the city, and we’re sure 76ers fans are appreciative of what he’s doing.
