Doja Cat has been on a roll lately, and her milky live performance of “Streets” to promote her Vevo LIFT partnership is just her latest step toward world domination. On Thursday, the versatile artist debuted the Vevo LIFT Live Sessions video, which sees Doja splashing around in a massive tub of milk.

Doja is the first artist chosen in 2020 for the Vevo LIFT initiative, which “creates exclusive performances and profiles in distinctive settings, moving up-and-coming artists to the next level, and broadening their audience around the globe.” Since launching in 2011, LIFT has hosted artists like Billie Eilish, Halsey, Khalid, Jorja Smith, SZA, Julia Michaels, YUNGBLUD and more.

In the description of the video, it is noted that “when the Vevo production team united with the feline phenom to figure out performance ideas,” they decided to keep with the cat-theme of her image. The result of the giant milk bath was “the most ambitious studio build to date for a LIFT performance.” If these visuals weren’t enticing enough, they also announced that another performance from the breakout artist as well as a short film will be dropping soon. Stay tuned for more fun visuals from Vevo LIFT and Doja Cat.

We may leave this Earth but our presence is never truly lost with those we love. For Pop Smoke, that’s a lot of people. The deceased up and coming superstar rapper was tragically slain in Los Angeles. On Friday night (February  28), the Yard Club in Paris, blessed those in attendance with a surprise hologram of Pop Smoke. Attendees shared videos of the hologram online.  The crowd gets hype to the single “Dior” before the hologram appears and the crowd goes insane. 

The investigation into Pop Smoke’s murder has hit a “roadblock.” Apparently, TMZ’s sources in the LAPD claim that “detectives have hit a roadblock… specifically with regard to witness testimony.” Police are having trouble because people are “simply refusing to talk” with authorities. The “no snitch” policies may be deeper than just street rules. There are reports that Pop Smoke’s murder may have been planned, which could mean someone with access to him orchestrated the hit. In light of all the speculations, Pop Smoke’s family issued a statement where they addressed inaccurate reports. “Unfortunately, there are no public details available regarding the murder of our loved one,” reads the statement. “We ask for respect and responsible reporting during this critical time. Inaccurate reports only add unnecessary pain to a grieving family.”

Kanye West has been somewhat low key (for Kanye) as of late, but it looks like Yeezy season is approaching. The hip-hop icon made a surprise announcement email to several industry insiders inviting them to Yeezy Season 8 in Paris for Fashion Week. As reported by Women’s Wear Daily, West sent out invites to a  Sunday Service which will take place in Paris, and a few moments later he sent out another invite for Yeezy Season 8.

It is unclear if West will be unveiling an entire line, or if he will just be showing off limited works. West, who has long gone against the grain, is rushing into Paris while many others are heading out. Several designers have canceled their Paris Fashion Week plans due to the spread of Coronavirus. Masha Ma, Maison Mai, Uma Wang, Shiatzy Chen, Agnés B and more have abandoned Paris Fashion Week. Other designers and brands have found a way to mix medical face masks into their entire. 

The Yeezy Season 8 show will take place on March 2, and Sunday Service will take place the day before. The gospel presentation is set to start at 9 AM, and will presumably feature guests. West’s switch to gospel music has been working well for his career, which suffered a public bludgeoning after supporting Trump.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie has made his way back to the late-night performance stage this time alongside H.E.R. to perform “Me & My Guitar” on TheTonight Show Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Coming off of the release his third studio album, Artist 2.0 (2020), which debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart and number one of the Billboard R&B/Hi-Hop Albums chart, A Boogie is quickly becoming a world-renowned musical act that supersedes the genre borders of traditional hip-hop.

Artist 2.0 did extremely well upon its initial release racking up over 141 million streams in its first week alone. The only other album to amass more streams this decade was Eminem‘s Music to be Murdered By (2020). With so much commercial success, it was only right for the Bronx-bred hip-hop artist to take the stage alongside Grammy Award-winning songstress/instrumentalist H.E.R. to perform a song A Boogie intended the late Juice Wrld to be a part of. 

The 24-year-old, born Artist Julius Dubose, took the stage in his finest rock-inspired garments standing in front of a full live band alongside H.E.R. as he began to croon the “Me & My Guitar” lyrics into an auto-tuned mixed microphone. The crowd was responsive and the young emcee flawlessly delivered a late-night musical television experience that is going to continue to propel his career into the forefront of mainstream music.

This past Sunday night, G-Eazy and Jamie Foxx decided to provide those in attendance at Los Angeles’ hotspot Delilah with an impromptu performance for the people to enjoy. While the club didn’t schedule for anyone to perform during their Sunday Jazz Night series, the random duo of actor/R&B superstar, Jamie Foxx and Bay Area hip-hop artist, G-Eazy, was able to turn the club all the way up this past weekend. Jason Kempin/Getty Images

The 52-year-old Oscar-winning actor was the first to hit the stage to perform a medley of hits for the crowd to enjoy before G-Eazy took to the mic perform his very own hit single “Still Be Friends” which also features Los Angeles-bred emcee Tyga and Toronto’s very own Tory Lanez. 

Recently, G-Eazy has been making headlines after an awkward clip of the rapper surfaced of him attempting to suck on the cheek of Megan Thee Stallion. While the dating rumors began to swirl, Meg The Stallion quickly shut them down literally stating, “I’m not f*ckin’ him.” As for Jamie Foxx, he wants to return to the standup stage alongside Eddie Murphy, as well as celebrating the success of his film Just Mercy, and trolling fans with his very own fake Beyonce. 

While both individuals have been making their rounds within the industry, it’s dope to see two polar opposite artists come together to celebrate life. Check out the extremely brief clip of G-Eazy and Jamie Foxx performing at Los Angles hotspot, Delilah in the video provided below. 

Out of respect for Vanessa Bryant and her family, Beyoncé respectfully changed the lyrics to “one of Kobe’s favorite songs” during the memorial that was held Monday in honor of the late Laker great and his young daughter, Gianna.

Beyonce opened the memorial with a epic performance of a couple of Kobe’s favorite songs, “Halo” & “XO,” the latter of which saw Queen Bey changing up some lyrics out of respect. Swapping the line “and I’m crashing into you” with “and I’m laughing into you” and changing “you kill me boy XO” to “just kiss me boy XO,” Beyoncé respectfully swapped out the inappropriate & ill-timed lyrics and delivered another classic performance backed by an orchestra and chorus. It’s pretty obvious as for why she chose to change the lyrics too with trigger words like “crashing” & “kill me,” but it’s just another example of Bey being the GOAT.

“I’m here because I love Kobe and this was one of his favorite songs, so I want to start that over, but I want us to do it all together and I want you to sing it so loud they hear your love,” Beyonce said before performing her records. After transitioning into a powerful rendition of “Halo,” the superstar finished with the added line, “He will be your, she will be your halo,” a reference to Kobe and Gianna.

Check out the performance (below) and sound off in the comments. RIP Kobe & Gigi.

Kanye West and his renowned Sunday Service Choir decided to pay homage to one of the up-and-coming hip-hop artists of this current generation in Roddy Ricch, performing his hit singles "The Box" and "Ballin." While there has been turmoil in the midst of the Sunday Service Choir after supposedly 30 members of the collective were reportedly fired, they've been able to maintain a level of relevance by performing during NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago, bringing the clan to Miami for Super Bowl weekend, and even honoring Kanye's friend and inspiration, Kobe Bryant with an exclusive one-time performance. Now, the Kanye West-led group is back with gospel renditions of one of the biggest hits of the year.

In a clip posted to Kim Kardashian's Instagram Story, Kanye West and his Sunday Service Choir patiently wait for the bass to drop in a dimly-lit, red-illuminated room. As soon as the beat comes in the choir begins flipping Roddy Ricch's infamous opening bars to "The Box," singing, "Pullin' out the coupe at the lot, gotta thank God for the drop..." 

Kanye West and his massive clique also performed a chilling version of Nas' "Everything" as well as some cuts from his latest LP, Jesus Is King (2019). Justin Bieber also made an appearance at the undisclosed location to perform Marvin Sapp’s legendary gospel single, "Never Would Have Made It." But while The Biebs might have increased the star power in the room, it was Roddy Ricch's "The Box" and "Ballin" that shifted the energy in the room. 

Check out Kanye West and his Sunday Service crew perform Roddy Ricch's "The Box" and "Ballin" as well as Nas' "Everything" in the videos provided below. 

Adele recently suggested that she might be dropping an album this year while at a private wedding. It's been five years since the "Someone Like You" singer released her third studio album, 25 (2015), and her massive fan base is eagerly awaiting her next musical offering. But with 25 selling over ten million copies, officially going diamond, and earning her a total of five Grammys at the 59th annual Grammy Awards, the creative process can become daunting for someone who's achieved success at that magnitude. 

Kanye West returned to his hometown of Chicago, IL for a one-off Sunday Service performance during NBA All-Star Weekend. Throughout this weekend's festivities, Kanye West gave back to the community of Chicago giving away his brand new YEEZY Basketball sneakers for free and getting free promo for the kicks as the Migos' Quavo took to the court in the new silhouette during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. While Ye's sneakers got some free publicity this weekend, the "Back To Life" producer quietly revealed that he was going to perform at the University of Illinois Chicago's Credit Union 1 Arena this Sunday (Feb. 16) his Twitter account.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have embarked on their Bad Boys For Life press run, meaning that we’ll have several hilarious interviews from the duo over the next week. Smith and Lawrence stopped by Sway’s Universe to promote the new flick, but the host switched things up on The Fresh Prince. Smith was expecting to talk Bad Boys For Life, but Sway slyly brought up his favorite song that Will ever made, “Brand New Funk.”  The 1988 single was a collaboration with DJ Jazzy Jeff and was featured on the multi-platinum album He’s The DJ, I’m The Rapper.

First, Sway starts rapping the single himself before Smith hops in and finishes the lyrics. Then, during the commercial break, Smith ends up lip-synching along to the first verse as the track plays in the background. You can see his energy going up as he continues, and it transforms into Smith rapping the entire second verse in his full Fresh Prince persona. Smith looks like he’s channeling the energy of his teenage self as he’s really enjoying the moment. Hopefully, the good moments last for him. Bad Boys For Life is set to hit theaters on January 17. Are you excited about the threequel?
