Young Dolph announced this month that he would be taking a break from music in order to spend more time with his family. Perhaps the last few days in quarantine have shown him that he needs rap in order to remain sane because, instead of sticking to his retirement, the Memphis spitter promised a new body of work at the end of the week. Making the announcement on Thursday (March 19), the rapper was expected to come through today with some fresh vibes, but they were nowhere to be found. He has since offered an explanation as to what’s going on.

According to Dolph, the album has been delayed because of coronavirus-related issues. He revealed that it was still on the way, but was unclear about when we could expect it.

“itS AbOUt tO dROP, SORRY fOR dElAY.. CORONA VIRUS hATiN ON MY CAMPAiGN,” wrote the Paper Route Empire head honcho on Instagram.

Young Dolph previously vowed away from music, noting that he would be passing the torch to Key Glock, one of his artists coming out of Memphis. It looks like he has had a change of mind and is sticking with us for the foreseeable future.

Are you looking forward to some new Young Dolph music?

With so much uncertainty in our world right now, we look to one of the things that have always remained constant for us: music. People are spending their quarantine hours differently. Some of us are unpacking that new The Weeknd album carefully. Others are running head-on into large towers of Jenga blocks (shout out to Cardi B). And others are using their free time wisely, being productive and perfecting their trade.

Travis Scott can be counted among that final group. The rapper is well-known for his work with producer Mike Dean, but he’s also got skills behind the board too. The H-Town artist took to Instagram to show us all how he’s been dealing with all this extra time and it turns out he’s being pretty advantageous, boosting his production skills and showing off what he can do.

Chopping up a vocal sample over some boom-bap style drums, Travis Scott looks to be trying out new vibes to record in his home studio. 

Before he blew up as an artist, it wasn’t uncommon to see Travis’ name in the producer credits for other rappers. Nowadays, he’s focusing more on his own material, but he’s taking this opportunity to revisit his roots. 

Are you hoping Travis produces more on his next album?

As the majority of people stay in their homes in the midst of the Coronavirus madness, one thing that we can all be certain about is that we’re about to be running up these streaming services. Though the music industry has been hit heavily with the effects of the Rona, it also seems like a good time for artists to release new music seeing as more people are just chillin’ at home. That being said, it would be fantastic if Playboi Carti released Whole Lotta Red.

“Carti listen you have disappointed us many times with this album release and we still worship you,” a fan wrote Playboi Carti in the comment section of the rapper’s return-to-IG post. “We are in fucking quarantine rn. Plz bless us,” the fan pleaded.

Though there’s no clear sign if Whole Lotta Red will see the light day anytime soon but the good sign is that Carti is back on Instagram. Not only that, but he replied to the fan with a Lil B-esque response. 

“i never left. hey. stay wit meh. I o you da world n i kno it. I love u n everyone. N my universe <3,” he replied back. It’s unclear what that means exactly but hey, on the brightside, atleast Playboi Carti still loves us.

Check out Playboi Carti’s response below.

We’re all affected by this coronavirus-imposed self-quarantine right now. Some of us are spending extra time with our families. Others are overanxious about the uncertainty of everything. Whatever your weekend plans are for the next three days, remember to stay safe, wash your hands, and continue to practice social distancing. Cardi B and Offset are getting very bored of this whole “staying at home” nonsense and they decided to get creative with their time, showing their millions of followers what their night entailed.

The usually raunchy couple took to Instagram to reveal how they were spending their evening, building a massive Jenga tower and proceeding to destroy it. While that’s the regular protocol, the way in which they approached the ensuing disaster was definitely pretty jokes.

“Day 3,” captioned Cardi B on her latest Instagram post, counting the number of days she has spent under quarantine. In the video, she runs head-on into a large tower of Jenga blocks, clearly going a little stir crazy. A Pop Smoke song plays in the background.

With the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States growing rapidly by the day, we urge you to take a cue after Cardi B and stay indoors. Have some fun and be a little foolish this weekend.

Tom Brady is no longer a member of the New England Patriots. This decision was made earlier this week and fans are still reeling from all of it. Recently, it was revealed that Brady would be signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers although nothing had been finalized. This morning, Brady and the Buccaneers came to terms on a two-year deal that is worth in the range of $30 million. As one does in today's day and age, Brady took to Instagram where he announced his new deal and explained just how excited he is to get started.

Per Brady: 

"Excited, humble and hungry ...if there is one thing I have learned about football, it’s that nobody cares what you did last year or the year before that...you earn the trust and respect of those around through your commitment every single day. I’m starting a new football journey and thankful for the @buccaneers for giving me an opportunity to do what I love to do. I look forward to meeting all my new teammates and coaches and proving to them that they can believe and trust in me...I have always believed that well done is better than well said, so I’m not gonna say much more - I’m just gonna get to work! #Year1 p.s. Jack Brady with the photocred"

Clearly, Brady still has a lot left in the tank and hopes to make a deep run this upcoming season. He will be 43 years old and one has to assume that this contract could very well be his last.

Three-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Ne-Yo, and his soon-to-be ex-wife, Crystal Smith’s marriage is coming to an end after four years, and Crystal is looking forward to moving out their home in the near future. Just last month, the two were hinting to the general public that their relationship was coming to a close, and now, just weeks, later both parties have been celebrating their upcoming divorce as if they won the Super Bowl. After originally meeting in 2015, the “On Ur Mind” singer and his estranged wife wed the following year. Throughout their half a decade relationship, the two were blessed to have two beautiful children in Shaffer Smith Jr (born 2016) and Roman Alexander-Raj Smith (born 2018). While Smith has claimed that Ne-Yo is an amazing father despite the status of their relationship, she’s ready to move on and his currently in the hunt of a home to call her own.  Theo Wargo/Getty Images

Crystal Smith took to her Instagram Story to reveal that she is currently house hunting, posting a Boomerang video of a photo of a lavish two-story home in Georgia, according to The Blast. Some of her additional Instagram Story content included a joint rolling presentation, a text post that read “Attention < Respect,” a coronavirus awareness parody song, videos of her children, and more. 

Since their split, both parties have been enjoying their new single status. Ne-Yo has been spotted partying with a head-turning bellydancer and multiple models, while Crystal Smith was caught getting close with Ryan Henry of Black Ink Crew: Chicago. Crystal Smith has also returned Ne-Yo’s wedding ring which prompted him to produce a track entitled “Pinky Ring,” promising he will turn his soon-to-be ex-wife’s wedding ring into a pinky ring. 

Neither party has yet to file for divorce, but Crystal Smith appears to have fully moved on as she is currently looking to purchase a home for her and her two children. You can view her Instagram Story, here, and check out one of her latest Instagram posts in the photo provided below.

America's most prominent doctor, Jerome Adams, is calling on the likes of Kylie Jenner and other social media influencers in order to get the youth of the nation to take the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) more seriously. Jermone Michael Adams Ph.D., who is currently serving as the United States 20th Surgeon General, appeared on Good Morning America on Thursday (March 19), to speak about the country's efforts to contain the highly-contagious disease and the role that millennials play in attempting to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Adams, who was appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as US Surgeon General in 2017, believes that social media has the power to influence America's young citizens to participate in an effective coronavirus prevention plan.

During his appearance on Good Morning America, the certified anesthesiologist wasn't afraid to call upon some of the most influential names in pop culture to serve as catalysts for COVID-19 awareness as he stated to Super Bowl champion, Michael Strahan:

"What I really think we need to do ... is get our influencers. We need to get Kylie Jenner, we need to get our social-media influencers out there in helping folks understand that, look, this is serious. This is absolutely serious. People are dying."

US Surgeon General Adams then went on to name drop highly-popularized NBA players Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell who have tested positive for coronavirus despite being asymptomatic. Before ending his segment with a message to the negligent youth of the country, stating:

"Think about your grandmother, think about your grandfather. Think about the fact that you're spreading disease, which could ultimately be what kills them."

With the recent flock of college students and millennials making their way to Florida for spring break despite being in the midst of a global pandemic, Dr. Adams' message is more necessary than ever in order to properly contain the virus that has now reached over 200,000 confirmed cases around the globe. And with popular social media personalities like Kylie Jenner reaching a following of over 166 million people, influencers have the opportunity to have major impact over how history will be made with this pandemic. 

We shall see how things play out over the course of the next couple of weeks and how many will choose to use their platforms during these trying times. Check out US Surgeon General Jerome Adams' full Good Morning America interview in the video provided below. 

Ari Lennox hops on Instagram Live on a damn-near daily basis and, these days, it's probably the best method of feeling like you're hanging out with friends. With the social distancing movement in full effect, celebrities (and everybody else) are confined to their own homes as we navigate this global pandemic together. Ari was on a live-stream this week when, of all people, actor Lakeith Standfield joined in. The Dreamville songstress realized who was tuning in before she commented on how she saw his most recent film The Photograph in theaters all by herself. Whenever the theater re-opens though, she has an opportunity to go see it again with the star himself.

"Can you be my date? Let’s go," asked Stanfield in the comments, effectively shooting his shot.

Ari was perplexed by his forward ask, going bonkers and attempting to change the subject, but her freaked-out tone did all the necessary talking for her.

"Lakeith, I don’t have time for this. You’re joking. Wait... let’s change the subject. Because I heard some things," exclaimed the singer before giving a lively tour of her new purchases at Guitar Center, which included a keyboard, new microphone, stands, and a guitar. The entire time she was showing off the equipment though, she seemed stoked that Lakeith Stanfield was even showing an interest in her.

Do you think they'll get a chance to date?
