Dr. Dre And Snoop Dogg Launched A New Canned Beverage Fittingly Based On ‘Gin And Juice’
Late last year, Snoop Dogg launched a line of hemp-infused beverages taking advantage of his reputation as a world-class cannabis ambassador and the coincidental timing of his “giving up smoke” ad to give the world Death Row Records’ Doggy Spritz and other associated drinks.
Now, he teamed up with Dr. Dre to deliver another commercial take on the West Coast duo’s long and storied careers: a canned ready-to-drink cocktail inspired by their 1994 hit “Gin And Juice.” The alcoholic beverage will be available in four flavors — Apricot, Citrus, Melon, and Passionfruit — and begin rolling out in the US from now through early spring. The dynamic duo announced the new product with a Quentin Tarantino-inspired short film on social media in which they apparently play the roles of Jules and Vincent-esque hitmen burying a recent victim in the woods while wearing suits and enjoying their new drinks (and Snoop’s favorite vegetable).
In a press release about the new product, Snoop said, “Look at our age and look at what we’ve done, and we still love each other, so why not do something together? A lot of times people have been in a relationship for thirty years and can’t talk to each other, can’t hang out, so it’s just fun to be in a partnership with people that you actually love.” Dre echoed the sentiment, saying, “Together, we always try to create magic, we’re having fun being creative, and everything about this product is really us. There’s passion behind it, and friendship and love and a culture. We’re shooting to make everything we do magnificent, and fortunately, most of the time we hit the target.”
They’ll have another opportunity to do so with their long-awaited follow-up to Doggystyle, called Missionary, which they’re apparently close to releasing.
Jack Harlow Is Back At No. 1 Yet Again And 2024 Grammy Favorites Saw Significant Gains On The New Hot 100 Chart
Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated February 17, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.
10. Miley Cyrus — “Flowers”
Three songs that had big moments at the 2024 Grammys saw some noteworthy chart movement this week, with Cyrus’ former No. 1 “Flowers” re-entering the top 10 after spending last week at No. 32.
9. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”
“Agora Hills” was at its Hot 100 high of No. 7 this week before sliding down to No. 9 this time around.
8. Luke Combs — “Fast Car”
Combs’ “Fast Car” cover had a Cyrus-like rise after he performed the song with Tracy Chapman herself, bouncing up to No. 8 from No. 20.
7. Tate McRae — “Greedy”
While “Greedy” slid down a couple spots from No. 5 last week, it did sell some more copies after McRae performed the song at the NHL All-Star Game on February 3.
6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves
“I Remember Everything” once again leads various Billboard charts, ranking No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 24th week and the Hot Country Songs for a 20th time.
5. SZA — “Snooze”
“Snooze” was barely hanging onto a top-10 placement last week, but after it was included in SZA’s Grammys performance medley, it gained a few spots to return to the top 5.
4. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”
Swift has a new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on the way, but in the meantime, “Cruel Summer” is maintaining a strong chart presence for Swift before her new songs inevitably take over.
3. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”
Boone’s viral hit hit the top 10 for the first time at No. 8 last week, and now its ascent continues as it climbed all the way to a new high at No. 3.
2. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”
Similar story for Swims: “Lose Control” was No. 4 last week and now it’s angling for the top spot after its rise to No. 2 this week.
1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”
Harlow’s hit has been jostled in and out of the No. 1 spot a handful of times now, but it’s on top once again for a fifth total week after spending last week at No. 2, behind Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” (which didn’t make this week’s top 10 after its chart-topping debut).

Kanye West Finally Got To Make All Of His Yeezy Merch Only $20 After Blowing Up His Deal With Gap
Back when Kanye West was still partnered with Gap, he made a huge fuss about wanting to price all of his Yeezy merch at $20. His stated goal at the time was to make “modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points,” however, one of the points of contention for him regarding the Gap Yeezy line was that all of the items were priced similarly to the red jacket he wore at his Donda listening. Kanye also wanted to change the store layouts, selling the clothes out of bundles and bags on the floor rather than on hangers (with Kanye, a truly bad idea nearly always follows the good ones).
In 2022, Kanye made a big show of trying to blow up his deal with Gap, although it’s more likely the company cut ties with him over his controversial statements about Jewish people, George Floyd, and a certain mustachioed dictator with a penchant for oration and world domination. The bright side for Kanye is that now, apparently, he can live his dream of selling Yeezy merch for just $20. Every item on the Yeezy website is currently priced at $20 — not including shipping costs — with multiple options of T-shirts and women’s tank tops, jumpsuits, and rompers, as well as his somewhat controversial sock-sneakers.

Usher Reportedly Went Full Vegas And Got Married During His Big Super Bowl Halftime Show Weekend
At his Las Vegas residency, Usher has become known for serenading high-profile female attendees, everybody from Doja Cat to Gabrielle Union to, of course, Keke Palmer. He also had a tender-looking moment with Alicia Keys at the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show this past weekend. Swizz Beatz, Keys’ husband, didn’t seem to mind at all, presumably because he understands that Usher is a performer whose job is to create an experience for those watching.
In fact, Usher has a relationship of his own, as he has been with Jennifer Goicoechea for years and they have two children together. It appears, actually, that the two just took things to the next level.
It was previously reported that the two got a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on February 8. While there does not appears to be a marriage certificate filed as of yet (there are no reports indicating that, anyway), People reports today (February 12) that they “confirmed” that Usher and Goicoechea did indeed get married over the weekend.
A few days ago, Usher spoke to People about potentially marrying Goicoechea, saying, “We’ve obviously made a commitment to life for life together because of our children. It wouldn’t be odd for us to get married. We already did here. You know what I’m saying? And we’re going to be in each other’s lives until we die, obviously, because we have something to share. That’s beautiful. Our children. But not because of that. I really do feel like I have an amazing partner that I respect.”
Here’s Cardi B’s Super Bowl Commercial That Was Deemed Too Risqué To Actually Air In Full During The Super Bowl
If you caught Cardi B in a commercial for NYX Professional Makeup during Super Bowl LVIII, you haven’t seen the whole thing.
Entertainment Weekly reports that only half the ad, which shows the “Up” rapper touting the brand’s Duck Pump lip gloss, was approved for the broadcast. The rest of the commercial — the part that’s online only — was deemed too risqué for a joke involving men mishearing “Duck Plump” and administering the beauty product where it doesn’t belong. When Cardi B is informed of this unfortunate development, she asks, “They put it where?”
First, Deadpool couldn’t make a pegging joke. And now this? What’s this country coming to?
“As a female-led brand with female creators behind the work, we’re proud of our creative idea, which flips the script on male stereotypes with lighthearted humor,” NYX Professional Makeup general manager Yasmin Dastmalchi said in a statement. “As a bold brand rooted in entertainment, and as a first-time advertiser on Super Bowl Sunday, our intention was to make everyone laugh during the big game. We hope you love it as much as we do!”
Any ad that doesn’t feature a pickleball-playing talking baby is a winner to me. You can watch the full-length commercial above.

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Officially Break Up: Report
According to PEOPLE, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan have officially broken up after a couple of years of dating. If you noticed that they unfollowed each other on Instagram, then you might have already seen this report coming. Nevertheless, the publication allegedly spoke to a source close to the two, who was able to confirm that they did, in fact, go their separate ways. Of course, this is notable because they were a pretty controversial pair in the worlds of NBA, basketball, and pop culture. One is Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife, and the other is Michael Jordan’s son, and you can imagine how this was a gold mine for the headlines.
However, before they unfollowed each other on social media, it seemed like things were going in a steady but surely committed direction. In fact, Larsa Pippen revealed in January of this year, just a month before these rumors went wild, that she froze some of her eggs in the event that she and Marcus Jordan would have kids. As such, this new revelation blindsided a lot of fans and shippers, although there’s always the chance that this could be a big misunderstanding. Not only that, but nothing’s stopping them from hashing things out and getting back together.

Marcus Jordan & Larsa Pippen Reportedly Break Up
What’s more is that they even spoke of engagement in late 2023, which makes this split even more out of the blue. “I feel like we’ve been looking at rings,” Larsa Pippen said of Marcus Jordan. “We’ve definitely been shopping. That’s for sure. I’m excited. I feel like Marcus has got great taste, and I feel like I know that he’s not going to disappoint us.” Well, that certainly aged well, didn’t it?
Jokes aside, we hope that this was at least an amicable split, if true, and that it wasn’t because of any harmful or otherwise negative impulse. This relationship even caused beef in their personal lives beyond their family history, so there was a lot riding on it. For now, all that’s left is to wait and see if there’s another ending to this story, or if this is the closing of a book. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan.

Alicia Keys Mishap Edited Out Of Super Bowl Halftime Show’s YouTube
Alicia Keys was one of Usher’s many special guests during his Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (February 11), and it didn’t bring about the universal praise most folks probably expected from this link-up. Moreover, a lot of folks on social media noticed how she missed a note while starting her rendition of “If I Ain’t Got You.” Even though it was just a note, it was enough for folks to make memes about it and criticize the singer online. This became even more common once folks noticed that the NFL apparently tried to edit it out of their YouTube upload of the show.
As such, fans are now taking to social media to debate whether this is that serious, or if Alicia Keys deserves the criticism. There is such a thing as tough love, but the good intentions behind a lot of that fall flat when filtered through social media. Regardless, there are definitely other things that people are talking about a lot more this week concerning this special team-up at the Super Bowl. For example, Swizz Beatz reacted to his wife Alicia Keys and Usher’s embrace at the event, which some people thought was a little too close for comfort.

However, others like Boosie Badazz had a different take. “@USHER ENOUGH IS ENOUGH BRO” he passionately shared on Instagram, a take that some followers disagreed with. “U NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO SWISS SHE MARRIED MY N***A I KNOW THAT WASNT PLANNED.” For more news and the latest updates on Alica Keys, stay logged into HNHH.
