Despite naming his album Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial,Roddy Ricch has been showing face a lot lately. Fresh off of a Grammy win, he, like most rappers, celebrities, artists, and influencers, made his way to Miami for Super Bowl weekend. Although he’s not necessarily the one to publicize his life on social media or otherwise, he found himself in a dating rumor yesterday that added to the already eventful news cycle. 

India Love hit the ‘Gram yesterday with a little video clip of herself posted up by the pool, soaking in the sun. However, with Roddy Ricch walking around and talking on the phone, the Internet got presumptuous and rumors that they’re an item began running rampant. Roddy didn’t actually address the rumors but now, India Love has made a statement regarding their “relationship status.”

“Roddy and I aren’t together,” she wrote in TheShadeRoom’s comments. “I apologize for the accidental video post that led to that assumption. Two friends who enjoy each other’s time. That’s literally life.” 

Aside from his personal life making its way into headlines, Roddy Ricch has been enjoying the success of his debut album as well as its chart-topping single, “The Box.” Not only has his album made its way back to the top of the Billboard 200 for the third week, but he’s also now neck-in-neck with 50 Cent for the longest-running debut rap album at the top of the chart. On top of that, “The Box” has maintained the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth week. 

It must feel nice to be one of the top artists in the music industry, and for rap-rocker Post Malone you can rest assure that he's living a pretty luxe life right about now. His latest antics while clubbing during Super Bowl weekend in Miami this past Saturday (February 1) proved that 50,000 times over.

While we’re pretty certain Megan Thee Stallion is throwing up the R-O-C nowadays, it’s an interesting thought to ponder what kind of career she’d have if she was batting for one of the other top hip-hop labels in the game. Def Jam would be cool. Hey, even joining Nicki Minaj over at Young Money would’ve been an epic “2DopeQueens” moment. However, her latest IG post from Super Bowl LIV weekend actually had us thinking about an alternate reality where the Fever emcee was down with Bad Boy Records.

Based off her “Bad girl for life” caption to these IG photos alongside Diddy and French Montana (seen above), it’s not hard to see Meg filling the shoes that Lil Kim once wore before her. Granted, it ain’t all shiny suits and Harlem shaking over at Bad Boy if you ask Sauce Money or Mase right about now, but there’s no denying that Puff produced massive hits at one point for the likes of R&B trio Total, the aforementioned Queen Bee herself Lil Kim, pop project Danity Kane and most notably late rap icon The Notorious B.I.G. to name a few. Who’s the say Meg couldn’t be the next in that lineage?

Peep the photo of Megan, Diddy, French and another with Lala and 2 Chainz above, and let us know if you think The Stallion would make a good fit at Bad Boy Records by sounding off in the comments below.

It’s been just over a week since the tragic helicopter crash that took the lives of basketball icon Kobe Bryant, his beautiful 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others as they headed to what would’ve been Gigi and her teammate’s basketball practice at the Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. It’s still hard to grasp for many people across the world, but particularly for those in the public eye during the biggest annual sports event of year this past weekend, Super Bowl LIV. Such was the case for rappers Meek Mill, Yo Gotti and Jay Z.

Hanging out heavy at  Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl Party at Loews Miami Beach Hotel this past Saturday (February 1), all three Roc Nation emcees wore the #24 jersey for the late Lakers legend in a similar fashion to many who attended the party as well. Although Kobe’s lane was basketball, the sports world in general have been paying tribute to his loss as a whole and it makes perfect sense that his presence would be felt all throughout the weekend of SBLIV. “2020 we didn’t just lose Kobe we lost a real #superhero,” Meek wrote in the caption to assist the pic he took with Hov and Gotti (seen above), and it’s a sentiment that many have been feeling and will be for a long time coming.

R.I.P Kobe…we’ll always miss you.

Fashion plays just a part of hip-hop these days as music itself. Fashion and hip-hop have gone hand-in-hand since the beginning of the genre and these days, when there are so many artists out, it’s necessary that one sticks out. Trippie Redd is one of hip-hop’s most unique looking figures right now. His colorful dreads and face tatts have made him a poster child for Soundcloud rappers worldwide.

Over the past few years, Trippie’s maintained his dreadlocks but has continuously experimented with the colors. We’ve seen him rock red, blonde, and more recently, green in his hair. However, it seems like even with the ever-changing shades in his hair, he might be looking to switch up his look. Taking to the ‘Gram, the rapper imagined what life would be like if he channelled his inner-Adam22 and rocked the bald look. “Dr. Evil Redd,” he captioned the photo while the comment section was crazy. Adam22 chimed in demanding royalties while Rico Nasty compared Trippie’s head to a dinosaur egg.

Although a few people thought that he actually shaved his head off, it would appear that Trippie simply used the power of Photoshop. He took to Instagram throughout the night revealing that his hair is still on his head. Maybe we’ll see him buzz it off in the future but clearly, right now isn’t the time. 

To kick off Super Bowl weekend, Lizzo performed at SiriusXM and Pandora’s Opening Drive Super Concert Series at South Beach Thursday night. During her set however, the “Truth Hurts” singer decided to surprise fans by bringing out former One Direction singer Harry Styles to assist her during her performance of “Juice.”

In a video taken by one of the concertgoers, the star (who is fresh off the heels of winning three Grammys) is seen getting ready to start up the song when she says, “Hold up, I need to bring someone out. Ladies and gentlemen, Harry Styles!” And the crowd went wild. Harry, who was rocking a 70’s look, even knew the choreography and danced along with the “Truth Hurts” singer.

It’s no secret that Harry has been a huge fan of Lizzo’s. So much so, Harry even covered this very track back in December during a BBC Radio appearance, which has racked up nearly 10 million views. “She’s one of the most exciting artists working now for sure,” he said at the time. “She’s exactly what you want an artist to be, which is themselves.”

Check out Thursday night’s surprise performance (below) and sound off in the comments. 

Despite her widely-criticized Oscar snub for her critically acclaimed performance in “Hustlers,” Jennifer Lopez still has plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks (or, in this case, days). J-Lo has been working hard these past few months to prepare for her highly anticipated Super Bowl Halftime Show performance alongside Shakira. It seems like she’s been practically living at the gym to get as fit as can be for the occasion. Her most recent gym spotting was just two days ago, where she was joined by her husband and frequent workout buddy, Alex Rodriguez. J-Lo rocked a crop top and leggings, showing off her already incredible figure.

J-Lo’s performance prep isn’t all exercise, though. The superstar posted a video on Instagram last week from her halftime shown rehearsals. In the clip, J-Lo really gets into the spirit of the sport, as she imitates a football move over and over on the 25-yard line while she waits for her cue to begin rehearsals. 

“Waiting for my cue like … Only ? days until #SuperBowlLIV! ✨? ✨ The countdown is on. Are you ready? #PepsiHalftime #SBLIV @guess @niyamasol,” she wrote in the caption. The NFL recently announced that a Super Bowl visual live album will be released featuring all of the artists performing at the event, including J-Lo and Shakira along with Demi Lovato singing the national anthem and Yolanda Adams accompanied by The Children’s Voice Chorus singing “America the Beautiful.” The Super Bowl LIV takes place this Sunday, February 2nd.
