February 15 Megan Thee Stallion's decided to kick things off in Chicago during NBA All-Star Weekend. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A REAL B*TCH REAL AQUARIUS S*IT," wrote the rapper on social media. "IT’S A REAL B*TCH HOLIDAY."

Later, Megan shared a video of herself "riding the boat," but on Monday (February 17), she gave fans an intimate glimpse into her birthday weekend festivities with another clip. The Houston Hottie, her team, and a few of her friends hopped on a private jet to Chicago. The group enjoyed themselves as they twerked to Luke's "It's Your Birthday" and had pillow fights on the flight.

Megan and friends then joined together for a birthday dinner, and in the video Megan shared, Tory Lanez can be seen taking a few shots with the "B.I.T.C.H." rapper. Things moved on to the after-party at a club where fans were excited to get an up-close-and-personal look at Megan.

Following the fifth chapter of his ongoing Chixtape series, Tory Lanez has opened the door to his process with an extensive new documentary: CHIXDOC. The first episode begins with a bold declaration from the Canadian artist, who deems Chixtape to be the biggest R&B series release of the past decade — to be fair, it’s entirely possible that the man has a point. Framed against live concert footage and behind-the-scenes studio content, it’s evident that episode one of the Chixdoc series (directed by Midjordan & Tory Lanez) boasts plenty of production value. At one point, Tory even tries his hand at some production, his keywork so enticing it elicits a spirited cry of “BUMBACLAT!”

“The Chixtapes are a series of R&B-themed projects,” he continues, laying out his vision. “The Chixtape 1 was to sound like early eighties. Chixtape 2 was to sound like the late-eighties. The Chixtape 3 was supposed to sound like the early-mid nineties. The Chixtape 4 was supposed to be late nineties, which brings us to Chixtape 5.” As we know, the acclaimed project played out like a homage to the early millennium, and it’s exciting to see his behind-the-scenes creative process at work.

As a banger blasts through the studio monitors, Tory reflects on what truly makes an R&B track standout. “The adlibs at the end of the R&B are the most important thing over everything,” he maintains. “Nothing is more important than when a n***a just start singing that shit.” He also expresses the importance of R&B, reiterating that people “always need songs about positivity and love and heartbreak, things that make them feel a certain way.” 

Check out the full episode of the CHIXDOC, a must-watch for Tory fans, below. What is your favorite installment of the Chixtape series? 

Their Valentine’s Day was filled with teddy bears, red roses, and dozens of gifts, but just days later, Kehlani and YG are once again no longer together. The singer was excited to share photos of her “Balentimez” Day on Friday, but by Sunday, things had taken a turn. On the lover’s holiday the couple even delivered their collaborative single “Konclusions” and YG recently received a tattoo of Kehlani’s name, but even that wasn’t enough to hold together whatever went down between them behind closed doors.

Kehlani took YG back after his previous infidelity scandal where a video went viral showing him allegedly kissing an unidentified woman. The pair briefly separated before uniting once again, but this time around, Kehlani has made it clear that she isn’t going to return to a vicious cycle. She recorded and released her single “Valentine’s Day (Shameful)” on Monday (February 17) and shared a behind-the-scenes black and white clip of herself in the studio.

“Last night making Valentine’s Day (Shameful) .. same room / same people i made You Know Wassup with,” Kehlani wrote. “Same energy… feel something and get it off. 3 therapeutic hours. appreciating those who see and hear me, and those around me holding me up. real grateful for expression right now. inward & onward, love always ALL ways.”

Halsey slid in her comments with some words of support. “Your positivity your light and your kindness will never be dulled by someone else’s darkness,” said the singer. “Maybe for a moment. But you persevere. You are the realest of the real mama. ?.” Tory Lanez added, “The realist.” Check out a bit of her session below.

Tory Lanez recently paid a visit to Flight Club’s Los Angeles location for an all new episode of “Sneaker Shopping” with Complex’s Joe La Puma, during which Tory dropped more than $5,000 on some new kicks. During their conversation at the well known consignment shop, Lanez shed some light on what the sneaker culture was like growing up in Toronto, idolizing Vince Carter, and his love for the Air Jordan 6.

In regards to the sneaker culture growing up in Canada, Tory recalled how people were actually killed over the popular “Cool Grey” and “Bred” Air Jordan 11 releases because there was such a limited stock. As a result of the extremely scarce supply of Air Jordans north of the border, copping those kicks, as well as other popular styles, proved to be that much more difficult than it was for the neighbors in the U.S.

At the end of their interview, the Toronto native walked out with nearly $6K in new sneakers, including the colorful Sacai x Nike LDWaffle, “Volt” Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low and a fresh pair of “Black/Infrared” Air Jordan 6s. Check out the full episode of “Sneaker Shopping” with Tory Lanez in the video embedded below.

Age is but a number in music. While the majority of artists breaking out into the musical hemisphere are in their teens, some rappers make a name for themselves in the later stages of their career. If you need the perfect example, look no further than 2 Chainz. Even somebody like Future became more of a global success in his late twenties and early thirties. Tory Lanez has been having difficulty wrapping his head around the fact that some of his favorite artists are aging so rapidly in front of us. Tweeting (and then deleting) his response to a list of rappers and their current ages, the Canadian superstar commented on how wild it is that someone like Jay-Z has already passed the mid-century mark.

“Kinda crazy,” wrote Tory Lanez on Twitter, reacting to a list of rappers’ ages. The original post started off at YoungBoy Never Broke Again, who is just 20-years-old, before moving onto Post Malone (24), Travis Scott (27) and Chance The Rapper (26), who are all wildly successful despite still being in their twenties. Much of the action takes place in the thirties, with inclusions from Meek Mill (32), Wiz Khalifa (32), A$AP Rocky (31), Nicki Minaj (37), Kendrick Lamar (32), and others all being mentioned.

Of course, the forties are pretty fun to consider, with Kanye West (42), 2 Chainz (42), and Gucci Mane (40) all still performing at very high rates. 

Take a look at the list below and let us know which entry surprised you the most.

If you've been on social media in the past day, you've probably seen this thing called the Broomstick Challenge trending. Someone on Twitter claimed, "according to NASA," that Monday was the only day a broomstick can stand on its own. Then Tory Lanez jumped into it before it really spread like wildfire. The rapper took to Instagram where he shared his experience with the #BroomstickChallenge. "Sup, man? This is science with Black folk," he said. "Today, NASA said that the polarity in the earth can keep a broom standing by itself," he continued before making the broom stand up. "This is real. Suck my dick," he concluded as he walked away.

Shortly after Tory shared his video, other celebrities followed suit including Future and Blac Chyna. Future shared a photo of himself seated while smoking a blunt next to the standing broom while Blac Chyna did her own rendition of Ciara's choreography from "Promise" with a broom instead of a microphone stand. 

Unfortunately, this all turned out to be a hoax, according to several astronomers and Al Roker who hit debunked the theory of the TODAY show this morning. Roker explained that you can pretty much do it any day of the week because of the short bristles on a broom that act as a tripod. Whodathunkit?

Peep some of the best reactions below.

Tory Lanez has been moving at a breakneck pace. Mere months removed from the release of his throwback tape Chixtape 5, Tory Lanez has already begun teasing the arrival of his next project. Once again, the Canadian rapper appears to be revisiting an ongoing series, this time the more-rap focused The New Toronto. Taking to Instagram, Lanez emphatically kicked off the hype train, captioning a Twitter post with the simple yet effective: “THE NEW TORONTO 3 ?!?!????!?????????”

It’s entirely possible we’ve already seen a few glimpses at the upcoming drop, which may or may not be inspired by the resurgence of drill music. Especially given the vibes of his latest singles “Broke In A Minute” and “K Lo K,” which features Fivio Foreign with the assist. I’s never easy to tell with Tory, who seems to fling himself headfirst into artistic whims if and when they strike. For all we know, he’s simultaneously juggling another New Toronto, a new solo album, and a sixth chapter of The Chixtape series.

Still, a gambler might look to New Toronto 3 being next up on Tory’s itinerary, in light of recent revelations. Are you excited to see whatever he’s whipping up, or is his unrelenting pace leaving cause for concern?

Instagram is always the go-to place to act goofy, and Tory Lanez decided to have a little fun recently with some of the homies with a little social media dance challenge.

The move of choice proved to be a standard one, with Tory opting for a simple spin. While it’s something we’ve seen many stage-rocking entertainers pull off over the years, none have done it quite as legendary as the King Of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Now, we’re not saying Tory Lanez hit a spin that comes anywhere close to comparing to MJ, but we do think it was sturdy enough to at least make the late music icon proud. The Chixtape 5 all-star made things even more interesting by enlisted a few challengers to one-up him, directly tagging Casanova, Fivio Foreign along with his crew TDott Woo and Mr Swipey, Diddy‘s sons Christian and Justin Combs, Big Larry and finally the social media dance king himself Shiggy. So far Cas has already accepted, responding by writing, “?ITS ONNNNNNN.” Let the battles begin!

Check out Tory Lanez’s new single titled “Broke In A Minute” below, which is the official soundtrack for this challenge at the moment: 

The Internet is a ruthless and unforgiving place. We hear people decry cancel culture every day, as celebrities and public figures get jumped on for the slightest slip-up. Tory Lanez knows the way the game works but he will not let himself go down like that. 

On Wednesday (Feb. 5), he shared a photo on Instagram of himself sitting on a couch beside his son. While at first glance this appears to just be a harmless, even heartwarming, “like father like son” moment, if you give the pic a closer inspection, you might detect that Tory’s got a blunt tucked between his fingers. The Toronto rapper foresaw that there would be a faction of people ripping him apart for smoking in front of his young child, so he shut them down before they got the chance. “Minus the tobacco (which is not lit) for u shade room Ass n****s,” he pointed out in the caption. 

Did Tory just defuse a potential bomb? It’s not hard to imagine a hip hop blog headline along the lines of “Tory Lanez Gets Dragged For Smoking In Front Of His Young Son.” In an alternate universe, I could have even been writing that article at this very moment. Instead, I’m just informing you that Tory came prepared. 

Canadian artist Tory Lanez is one of his country’s hip-hop success stories, serving as an inspiration to boys and girls who hope to become an influence in the music industry one day. With rap’s representation growing by the day in the North, Tory Lanez continues striving as one of the main figures in Toronto, honing his craft and stunting his outstanding work ethic. Releasing several full-length projects over the last two years, Lanez has proven to the world that he is no longer an underdog. At this stage of his career, he’s a power player. He cozied up to another favorite within the business, Lizzo, to pose as relationship goals (even though they’re not officially an item.)

Tory Lanez and Lizzo may not be dating but they came through to show us what a happy couple should look like. The two artists enjoyed a warm embrace as they closed their eyes, passionately taking in the moment. Tory rested his head on Lizzo’s chest, wrapping his arms around her and letting a smile creep out. He looks at ease in the image, comfortably adding in the caption: “Find u somebody that’s finna hug u like I’m hugging @lizzobeeating … she my whole spirit animal.”

French Montana was at the same party and he declared Lizzo “wifey” in his selfie with the breakout star. It looks like Tory may have some competition.
