A major perk of dating Future is getting to hear his stash of unreleased music, which must be infinite. His girlfriend Lori Harvey showed on her Instagram Story on Saturday night (Feb. 22) that she has been taking full advantage of this benefit. 

While having a date night, Future and Lori drove around bumping one of his songs, the full version of which has not yet made its way to our longing ears. Either Lori happened to be in the studio while Future was cooking up the track or she's been devotedly listening to it on her own time because, in the video she posted, she raps along to every word. Perhaps she's such a fan of this one because it contains lyrical references to her. "Pussy was leaking, I fucked on a jet / We made a bond to never forget / Cancel that hoe, she try fuck on my chick," Future raps (I think?). 

Last night (Feb. 22), the 51st NAACP Image Awards took place in Pasadena, CA and Beyonce Knowles-Carter and her daughter, Blue Ivy took home the award for Best Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration for their work on “Brown Skin Girl.” The song featured on The Lion King: The Gift (2019) also features the likes of Nigerian singer/songwriter, WizKid and hip-hop newcomer SAINt JHN. With this victory, Blue Ivy Carter officially shares the title of ‘award-winning artist’ with her mother and father, Jay Z, who have racked up over fifty award titles during their illustrious music careers.

At eight-years-old, Blue Ivy Carter has become the youngest artist to win an award of this magnitude. Blue Ivy’s grandmother, Tina Knowles Lawson, took to her Instagram account to celebrate her granddaughter’s victory, posting a single picture of Blue captioning the photo:

“Congratulations BLUE IVY on your NAACP award last night for singing and writing on ‘Brown Skin Girl’ from the Album The Gift. The youngest artist to win a major award. Grandma is soo proud of you 8 years old!!!! You are giving all the beautiful little brown girls a voice.”

Unfortunately, the Carter klan was unable to attend the event, but that didn’t stop Beyonce from bringing home a plethora of awards. The Ivy Park Collection creator won awards for Outstanding Variety (Series or Special) for Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, Outstanding Album for Homecoming: The Live Album, Outstanding Song – Traditional for “Spirit,” Outstanding Song – Contemporary for “Before I Let Go,” Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation Album for The Lion King: The Gift, and Outstanding Female Artist. 

While Beyonce performed well at this year’s NAACP Awards, Rihanna had one of the most memorable moments of the night when she received a standing ovation for her speech on racial unity. Check out Tine Knowles Lawson IG post celebrating Blue Ivy Carter’s historic award-winning night below. 

Quentin Tarantino is officially a father.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the renowned film director and his wife, Israeli actress/model Daniella Pick, welcomed their first son on Saturday. 

“Daniella and Quentin Tarantino are happy to announce the birth of their first child,” his rep said in a statement to TMZ and E! News.

Tarantino met Daniella in 2009 while he was in Israel promoting Inglourious Basterds. The child was born at Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv.

Tarantino won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay this year for his newest film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. While accepting the award, Tarantino thanked Daniella in Hebrew and said, “I can’t have a conversation now, but I know many words in Hebrew.”

Tarantino has said the birth of his child will inspire him to learn more Hebrew saying, “Obviously, I’m going to learn. I don’t want my boy or girl to speak a language I can’t understand.”

The couple announced that Daniella was expecting in August 2019. A representative confirmed the news to People saying, “Daniella and Quentin Tarantino are very delighted to announce that they are expecting a baby.”

Tarantino and Daniella were married in November 2018. This is the first time the 56-year-old director has been married.

The stage was being set perfectly for the drama to unfold, the likes of which we only see in Hollywood. A hometown kid blossoming into arguably the league’s best point guard - in the shadow of the league’s greatest player ever. He had put the weight of expectations, the franchise, and the entire city of Chicago on his back and was touting them towards the NBA finals for the first time since the aforementioned Jordan hit the most memorable shot in NBA history, securing the franchise’s 6th championship. It all felt right. Fitting. The year was now 2012, 16 years after the '96 Finals. The Chicago Bulls, like their leader, seemed to be an unstoppable force of destiny in the Eastern Conference. That was until the clock struck midnight on that Cinderella story and we all gasped as Derrick Rose clutched his knee with 1:19 left in game one of a home playoff match against the Atlanta Hawks. It stands as one of the most haunting calls in sports: “holding onto his knee, holding onto his knee and down…” On that day Derrick Rose’s fairytale career took a somber turn. From that moment Rose lost his cloak of invincibility and for years to follow the Most Valuable Player dealt with injury after injury, personal battle after personal battle - which left many wondering if his career would soon end unceremoniously. But it is was his resilience that would define him, not his trials.  

Former teammate Joakim Noah said on the Pardon My Take podcast that if D-Rose didn't get hurt, the Bulls "would be holding that trophy up. In my mind, still to this day, there's no question."Noah references the early 2000s when he and Rose, along with a scrappy cast of Bulls, were the biggest threat to the NBA. Rose did return following the gruesome knee injury, but after multiple knee surgeries and a fraught relationship with the media, Chicago traded Rose in 2016. He would later be traded again by Cleveland and then cut by Utah. Many felt that was the last chapter of a career that once seemed destined for greatness. To further dissolve his reputation, Rose dealt with a civil suit that alleged rape beginning in 2016. There were, however, no criminal charges filed and he was found “not liable” in that case. In the midst of these tribulations, he publicly wondered if he should step away from the game for good. Rose took leaves of absence from both the Cavaliers and Knicks for personal reasons on several occasions. Pundits and writers across the league were confounded by his waffling. Oh, how I’m sure that day in 2012 haunted him. How he wished he could go back to that moment and be the person he was before the injury. But after some soul searching, Rose recommitted himself to the game. He also committed himself to grow as a man. Rose told ESPN when talking about his journey to becoming who he is today: “I just know, [in] Chi my vibrations were low - when your vibrations are low, you hear everything, you seek everything, and me seeking or hearing everything. That was just me being attracted to how I was feeling at the time, and that’s negative, so when I changed my vibrations and matured as a person and as a man, that’s when I started to grow and develop who I was as a person and individual and change my character.”

The former Memphis guard re-emerged with a newfound sense of self and a rejuvenated passion for the game. He embraced a role coming off the bench for Minnesota and that’s when things began to turn back in his favor. During his time with the club, he starting looking more and more like the Rose we fell in love with. In his finest moment in the last five years, Rose scored 50-points with the Wolves in an incredibly emotional game. 

Fast forward to 2019-2020, Derrick Rose has been one of, if not the best story of the 2020 NBA season. Producing like a fringe all-star and occasionally delivering some of the magic that once made him a marquee superstar for one of the league’s most beloved franchises. Rose’s per-36 minute production ranks on par with his MVP season of 2010-11. He is averaging 18.5 points on 49.8 percent shooting and 5.8 assists this season. Head Coach Dwayne Casey says Rose’s play is reminiscent of his MVP season, telling the Detroit News, “He just shows his talent. Talent wins in the NBA and he’s one of our most talented players. We had (Rose) off the bench just to control his minutes and that’s on me and it’s on us (coaches). He’s been great; he’s been like the Derrick Rose of his MVP years.”

Draya Michele and her ex-fiancé Orlando Scandrick were getting into it over social media this weekend, after spending months apart since announcing their split in December. The former couple called it quits at the end of last year after several years together. At the time, Draya revealed that she had been "single the entire month of December.” Since parting ways with Orlando, Draya has been living her best single life, even sparking rumours that she and Nas are dating after they were spotted partying together in the Bahamas. However, this social media beef shows that Draya hasn't totally put her ex behind her. On Saturday morning, the former Basketball Wives star pulled a tweet-and-delete, writing, "He got his homeboys driving my old car, I can’t wait to see who’s gonna be wearing my watch."

Though she eventually nixed it, Orlando caught wind of her seemingly subliminal message to him, and decided to indirectly fire back. On his Instagram story, Orlando shared an image that reads, "Learn to be done! Not mad, not bothered, just done! Protect your peace at all cost.”

Later, Draya commented underneath The Shade Room's post of her now-deleted tweet, writing, "Sorry. I just be waking up in disbelief…I’m a girl like ya’ll," with some laughing emojis. Orlando hopped in the comments of the same TSR post, speaking directly to Draya. "You out here fuccn everyone and now you jus saying anything," he commented. "I understand your mental confusion."

Draya decided to return to Twitter to speak on the matter. "Know the difference.," she wrote. "Never mad over a man. Just a lil but hurt over things I lost in the fire. I’d never bring up nothing bout him and bitch cuz I don’t care bout that." However, she followed this tweet with a brief message: ".... but someone IS mad." Orlando has yet to retaliate.

Tyson Fury bested Deontay Wilder in dominating fashion during their rematch on Saturday night, according to ESPN.

Fury forced two knockdowns before Wilder's corner threw in the towel during the seventh round. It's was one of the most anticipated fights in recent boxing memory with ESPN even claiming it "was viewed by many as the biggest heavyweight world title bout since Lennox Lewis knocked out Mike Tyson."

There was plenty to react to during the fight. The first knockdown came during the third round after a right hand from Fury. Fury himself even reacted afterward saying, "I hit him with a clean right that dropped him, and he got back up," Fury said. "He is a warrior."

Jake Paul is no novice at stirring the pot; he is a YouTube personality after all. He is also the guy that desperately tried to incite a boxing match with Soulja Boy. Given his track record, it makes sense that he attempted to expose Zayn Malik on Twitter on Sunday morning (Feb. 23). 

According to Paul, he approached Malik at a function and the singer treated him very poorly, which had Paul ready to throw hands. Paul tweeted, "almost had to clap up zane from 1 direction because he is a little guy and has an attitude and basically told me to fuck off for no reason when I was being nice to him.... zane ik you’re reading this... stop being angry cause u came home alone to ur big ass hotel room hahaha."

The Dallas Mavericks lost 111-107 to the Atlanta Hawks, Saturday night, prompting a series of tweets from Mark Cuban directed at NBA officials.

As ESPN reports, Cuban's remarks were aimed at an overturned goaltending call on a shot from Atlanta's John Collins, which sealed the game.

"So they call a goaltend," Cuban began. "They literally blew the whistle that it was a goaltend. There was a putback after the whistle. After review, they said no goaltend but count the basket? WTF is that? That's NBA officiating.

Nicki Minaj got the pregnancy rumour mill going again when she posted a video of her husband Kenneth Petty rubbing her belly. On Sunday, Ms. Minaj-Petty gave her fans a glimpse into their journey to her home country of Trinidad with some posts on Instagram, and one video in particular has the Barbz reeling. Nicki posted a sparkle-filtered clip of herself and Kenneth on the plane, which begins with a shot of Kenneth’s hand soothingly rubbing her stomach.

He can be heard saying “Trinidad” over and over, while Nicki remains silent with a smirk on her face. Only the flag of Trinidad is included in the caption, but this brief video was enough to have almost everyone in the comments presuming that Nicki was finally confirming her long-time rumoured pregnancy.

Pregnancy rumours have been circulating around this couple for what seems like forever. After Nicki and Kenneth officially tied the knot back in October, the speculation was heightened when Nicki seemingly dropped hints that she was “expecting,” but nothing ever came of it. Then, last week, the rapper shared a photo of herself and Kenneth on Instagram and wrote that they have “a lot to celebrate.” Could she be celebrating their baby on the way? Or is she just happy with where she’s at in life? Nicki has to know how much this is killing everyone, but the rapper seems committed to waiting until she’s absolutely ready to announce the good news (if, in fact, she does have a bun in the oven).

The Roots are being honored in Philadelphia in a major way as the legendary hip-hop group and Philly natives are set to be honored with a stretch of East Passyunk in the city of Brotherly Love, officially earning them what is now Avenue Of The Roots.

Per the Philadelphia Inquirer, the red signage was already placed at the 600 Block of Passyunk on Friday. A dedication ceremony to commemorate the moment and honor their legacy will take place during the last week of May 2020, coinciding with the timeline of this year’s Roots Picnic.

“….does this mean WHAT I THINK IT MEANS!!!???!!!???” de facto frontman Questlove penned in a caption on Instagram. “[H]ell of a way to find out!!!! WOW!!!!!”

The legislation was originally proposed by activist Leroy McCarthy, the same individual allegedly behind moves to have streets named after the likes of The Notorious B.I.G., Phife Dawg, and Tupac Shakur. It was Philadelphia City Council legislator Mark Squilla who officially introduced the resolution that led to the establishment of Avenue of the Roots.

“I am happy that Avenue of the Roots is getting done, happy for hip-hop, happy for Philly and beyond. Plus, this is Black History Month in the making,” McCarthy said in a statement. “Congrats to The Roots and Team Roots for putting in the work over the years. This honor is well deserved. It took hard work to get this done, and the overall efforts for hip-hop recognition, but this is bigger than me — doing it for the culture, and hip-hop don’t stop. I’m looking forward to the street dedication in May 2020.”
