We all have our secret foodie preferences that may make our friends and families sick, but they somehow are appealing. French fries dipped in a Wendy’s frosty and pickles with peanut butter are all the rage for a select few, and apparently, there are people out here living their best lives by dipping their cheeseburgers in honey. Saweetie has revealed one of her foodie favorites and while it doesn’t seem like it’s *that* big of a deal, it has caused the Bay Area rapper to become a trending topic on social media.

To kick off Women’s History Month, the Pretty B*tch Music rapper went viral after a brief video of her adding a little something to her spaghetti surfaced. In the clip, Saweetie is seen drenching her Italian-style dinner in ranch dressing, a move that disgusted many. Some commentators called her out for eating like a frat boy—their assessment, not ours—while others co-signed her tastes.

Pouring ranch on just about anything seems like a very Californian thing to do, and the public let her know just how they felt. What’s your favorite odd food pairing combination that you swear is delicious? Check out some responses to Saweetie’s most recent viral moment below.

You can’t turn a pop-culture corner without seeing news about Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper has acquired an increasing amount of fans in the last two years, and with a management deal with Roc Nation on her side, Stallion’s visibility has tripled. Even during a global pandemic and quarantine, Meg was able to nab the No. 1 spot on the charts twice, but as much as she’s the artist that everyone wants to collaborate with, Eddie Murphy isn’t lining up for his shot.

The Coming 2 America actor was promoting his forthcoming film while on the Tamron Hall Show where he was questioned about his musical aspirations. Back in the 1980s, he worked with the late-great icon Rick James to craft his No. 2 charting “Party All the Time” hit, and while he’s confirmed that he has a vault filled with music, Murphy laughed through the prospects of releasing new music, especially with younger artists like Megan Thee Stallion.

“I stopped putting music out but I still do music all the time,” said Murphy. “Young folks do that.” Hall added that no one complains when The Rolling Stones continues to tour. “But The Rolling Stones don’t be puttin’ no records out. They’re playing they old tracks. Don’t nobody wanna hear The Rolling Stone new sh*t,” the actor said with a laugh. “Don’t nobody wanna hear no 75-year-old man’s track. I’m cool with tracking and having my little vault with my little tracks. A hundred years from now, you can hear all that stuff and be like, ‘Wow.'”

Murphy’s daughter was also on deck for the virtual chat, and Hall wanted to know if she could see her father one day collaborating with artists like the Houston rapper. “Megan Thee Stallion? I’m 59, I can’t be doing nothing with no Megan Thee Stallion. You know how crazy I would look doing something with Megan Thee Stallion?” Murphy said while laughing. “I’m gonna be 60 in April. I can’t be having Megan Thee Stallion doing her stuff and I’m standing next to her with my old ass playing my guitar.”

“I have my first grandchild. Once you’re a grandpa, you can’t do no tracks with Megan Thee Stallion.” Check out the funny clip below and make sure to tune into Amazon Prime Video on March 5 to watch the premiere of Coming 2 America.

Lil Durk’s run in 2021 is already off to a great start. He closed out 2020 with the release of The Voice before offering the deluxe edition that later earned him his highest sales week ever. On top of that, he’s been killing every single feature verse he touches. November’s “Back In Blood” with Pooh Shiesty is still crushing the charts and maintaining a spot as one of the hottest records in the streets. It’s even beginning to spawn freestyles and remixes.

Unfortunately, not everyone is feeling the song. Yaya Mayweather went viral last week after making a fuss over “Back In Blood” being played at some sort of function. The viral clip is bound to create a few memes at Yaya’s expense. However, it’s clear that her issue with the song stems from something a bit more personal than not being a fan of it, largely due to the apparent feud between Durk and Youngboy. 

Durk seemingly addressed the clip after retweeting Calboy who wrote, “We don’t turn off Lil Durk or Pooh Shiesty over here.” Sure, that was enough to get the point across but apparently, he needed to reiterate it for the people in the back. Offering a glimpse into today’s outfit which includes a Casablance Paris sweater and a RoyGBiv freight trucker hat, the rapper made it clear that only in the world of Yaya Mayweather is it acceptable to turn off Durkio mid-song. “We don’t turn off Durk in the trenches,” he wrote along with a vomiting emoji. “Fasure noooooooo.”

Speaking of “Back In Blood,” we recently chopped it up with Pooh Shiesty for the latest edition of Rise & Grind, our weekly series meant to introduce and dissect new, buzzing, or underground artists. On the topic of collaborating with Durk on the song, Shiesty said, “It was crazy that he tapped in as soon as my chance came around. But you know, that’s what real n***as supposed to do. So, everything was real shit. We locked in. He means his words. He stood on his word. He said we’re gonna do this the way, we did it. He stood on that. He a real n****.” Check out the rest of the interview here.
