Father of Alam. Yesterday, DJ Khaled took home another one, one being a Grammy Award in this case. The song that sealed the Best Rap/Sung Performance deal was “Higher,” a collaboration between himself, John Legend, and Nipsey Hussle. Given the significance of a Nipsey Hussle Grammy win, it’s no wonder that those who took the stage were emotional. During his acceptance speech, DJ Khaled proceeded to reveal the name of his second son, who was born last week. Matthew Eisman/Getty Images “I want to thank my beautiful queen Nicole,” begins Khaled, flanked by his collaborator John Legend. “I just had a...

YG and Kehlani got VERY close last night. After a short-lived cheating scandal that saw YG kissing another woman during his relationship with Kehlani, the two appear to be back together after calling things off at the end of last year.

YG was part of the tribute to Nipsey Hussle’s life and legacy last night, joining Kirk Franklin, DJ Khaled, Roddy Ricch, and others on stage. The moment was beautiful and, with Hussle’s family in attendance, it must...

Billie breaking records left and right. Heading into the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards last night, many people probably had a good feeling that the ceremony would lead to a photo of Billie Eilish struggling to hold all her trophies – the kind of photo that many of music’s most iconic acts have taken in the past. Lo and behold, Billie joined this lineage, cheesing with her arms full of golden gramophones after sweeping all of the Grammys’ major categories (Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist). The fact that Eilish was...

Going after Moneybagg’s ex? Things seem to be going great between Moneybagg Yo and his new boo, Ari Fletcher, but she might still be fixated on his exes. Grammy weekend was kicked off with the prestigious Roc Nation brunch on Saturday and biggest names in music were in attendance.

Things had the potential to...
“Kobe will be honored the way he should be.” There was never any doubt that Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant would be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but things will obviously be handled much differently this year in wake of Bryant’s tragic death. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has decided to forego the normal election process, announcing Kobe as the first inductee of the 2020 class. The rest of this year’s Hall of Fame class, which will surely include Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett among others, will be announced in April. Bryant, 41,...
