Janelle Monáe is best known for being an award-winning musician and actress. The Kansas City-born performer also makes waves in the fashion world.

However, some people began making fun of Monáe’s history of wearing black-and-white suits. One user even compared her to the Rich Uncle Pennybags mascot from the Monopoly board game.

“Janelle Monáe finally showing off how fine she is instead of dressing like the Monopoly Man,” posted the @gldnraes Twitter account. That tweet amassed over 54,000 likes on the platform.

Before @gldnraes’s tweet crossed the 27,000 likes mark, Janelle Monáe quote-tweeted the post and added, “Ohh y’all n##### liked this 26.8k times?? No new music just for this. 😘.”

As the likes on @gldnraes’s tweet continued to grow, Monáe returned to Twitter to add, “35.7k likes?? No new tour. Hope it was worth it beloved. 😘” She then responded with a longer message for the general public.

“‘I miss you in the [black] and white suits!’ ‘Take them suits off we tired of that look!’ ‘You look like the monopoly man.’ ‘Why you showing so much skin? Cover back up!’ ‘Your t###### are pretty.’ ‘Why are you showing YOUR t######? You want attention!’ GET THE F### OFF MY A#####,” expressed Janelle Monáe

It later seemed clear Monáe did not take any of the trolling too seriously. One of her responses to @gldnraes included the Atlantic recording artist tweeting, “Monopoly man?? 😭You’re pretty and funny. 😘.”

Janelle Monáe’s discography includes the studio albums The ArchAndroid, The Electric Lady, and Dirty Computer. Additionally, the former protégé of Sean “Diddy” Combs recently received rave reviews for her acting performance in 2022’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus Jr. is one of the most famous and successful Hip Hop artists of all time. However, the 51-year-old entertainer has never won the most prestigious honor in the music business.

Snoop Dogg used his verified Instagram account to let his 79.1 million followers know that he has been completely shut out when it comes to the Grammy Awards. That unexplainable fact shocked some fans.

On Monday, Snoop shared a screenshot of a list of rappers with the most Grammy wins in history. Watch The Throne collaborators Jay-Z and Kanye “Ye” West lead the pack with 24 victories, respectively.

“Snoop Dogg. 20 nominations. 0 wins. 👊🏾🐾👏🏿,” wrote Broadus in his Instagram post’s caption. Grammy and Oscar winner Jamie Foxx commented, “You deserve that [and] more my G!”

Other blue-checked celebrity accounts, like Wild ‘n Out comedian DC Young Fly and 3T member TJ Jackson, expressed support for Snoop despite him never receiving a golden gramophone from the Recording Academy.

Snoop Dogg’s 16 Grammy Nominations Include A Best Reggae Album Nod

According to the official tally, Snoop Dogg scored 16 Grammy nominations throughout his career. His most recent nomination (Album of the Year) came from his contribution to Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 studio LP To Pimp A Butterfly.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards took place on February 5 in Snoop Dogg’s hometown of Los Angeles. R&B/Pop megastar Beyoncé and Gospel collective Maverick City Music won the most trophies of the night with four each.

Kendrick Lamar won three Grammys on Sunday, including Best Rap Album for Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. With 17 victories, the Compton native sits in third place on the all-time Hip Hop Grammy winners list behind Jay-Z and Kanye West.

DJ Khaled met his “favourite” artist during this weekend’s Grammy Awards ceremony, coming face-to-face with Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer Tems. 

The super-producer performed his hit song “God Did” at the event on Sunday (Feb. 5), Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, John Legend, and Fridayy alongside Jay-Z.  

Despite performing with the greats, Khaled gushed over the rising-star songstress during their encounter on the red carpet.  

“Yo, I’m your biggest fan,” DJ Khaled told Tems as he greeted her. “I don’t know if you know it,” he added before assuring her, “no, really,” telling the singer he just spent “20 minutes straight” talking about her during an interview.  

DJ Khaled continued telling Tems, “I love you,” before asking for a hug. “I just met Tems,” he announced to Billboard. “She my favourite. She’s amazing.”

Tems received her first golden gramophone on Sunday, winning the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy for her contribution to Future’s#### single “Wait For U’ which also features Drake. 

DJ Khaled isn’t the only fan Tems has among the Hip-Hop giants. As reported by AllHopHop.com, Fat Joe raved about her breakthrough hit single, “Free Mind.” 

“It’s the biggest in the game,” he stated during an Instagram Live 2022 year-end recap last December. “I played this because to me, this is the song of the year.” 

Meanwhile, last month Tems took to Instagram to share a Happy New Year message from Snoop Dogg. However, the West Coast legend extended more than season’s greetings. He also requested to collaborate with the “Crazy Tings” hitmaker.  

“So Tems, when we gon’ make a record?” Snoop asked. “You know I’m a fan. Let’s make a f###### hit record, girl. You be having my whole family dancing to your s###. I need one with you, and you can post that.”

JAY-Z Felt Sure Beyoncé Would Win Album Of The Year At The 2023 Grammy Awards 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Before Beyoncé missed out on Album of the Year at the Grammys, Jay-Z said his wife’s Renaissance LP “has to” win the award.  

During an interview with TIDAL’s Elliott Wilson, Hov explained that Bey deserved to finally win the coveted category on her fourth nomination because of the impact of Renaissance.  

“Look what it’s done to the culture,” he said, referring to Beyoncé’s latest offering. “Look how the energy of the world moved. They play her whole album in the club. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. The whole entire joint — like, everything?! Every remix is amazing. Everyone’s inspired. It has inspired the world. Every remix is better than the other one.” 

Jay-Z Says Renaissance “Has To Be Album Of The Year”

He continued: “It’s inspiring creativity. You know how The Black Album had The Grey Album [Danger Mouse’s 2004 mashup project]? And the one with Radiohead? It was called Jaydiohead [Minty Fresh Beats’ 2009 mashup]. When it just inspires creativity, that’s an album. That has to be Album of the Year. It has to be.” 

Nonetheless, during Sunday’s show (Feb. 5), the Recording Academy crowned Harry Styles’ Harry’s House album of the Year. Some Beyoncé fans in the audience rudely heckled the British singer during his acceptance speech.  

However, Jay-Z said despite growing up “idolizing” the Grammys, he won’t allow himself to become emotionally invested in winning.  

“I remove myself from the process and hope they just get it right,” he explained to Wilson. “It got to the point where I was like, it’s just a marketing thing. You go, you got an album out and it could help the sales go up. It got to that point, but deep down … Again, we grew up idolizing this. It was like one of the pillars for us. It was like, “We want to go Gold.” Yeah, I’ve been in it that long. Haaaaa!” 

While Beyoncé lost out on best album, she did scoop four other awards, taking her Grammy career total to 32. Her latest haul means Bey is the most decorated artist in Grammy history.

iPhone footage obtained by ET shows the moment the NYC hitmaker got heated, although the targets of her rage were not caught on camera.  

“Both of y’all wrong,” Cardi B yelled. “This is not right,” she can be heard saying on the video. “No b#####, shut the f### up cuz you shouldn’t have been talking.” Check out the video below.

According to TMZ, Offset and Quavo “got into a physical fight and had to be pulled apart” backstage at the Grammys on Sunday (Feb. 5). 

The outlet reports the Migos members came to blows over the “In Memoriam” segment at the Grammys. The altercation allegedly took place just before Quavo performed his touching tribute to Takeoff. Rumor has it Quavo refused to let Offset participate in the remembrance on-air.  

However, following the TMZ report, Offset took to social media to deny the claims. 

“What tf look like fighting my brother yal n##### is crazy,” he wrote via Twitter on Monday. 

Cardi B has remained tight-lipped about the rumored fisticuffs and the footage of her allegedly yelling at Quavo and Takeoff.  

When ET caught up with her at the awards show and asked if she was “back here settling some stuff,” Cardi B was quick to brush the question aside. “Settling? The only thing I settled was my outfit, honey,” she replied, referring to her stunning mirrored chainmail gown.

GloRilla had quite the night at the 2023 Grammys, receiving her first nomination and taking to the stage with rap legends and pioneers for the Hip-Hop 50 tribute, but none of those moments topped meeting Beyoncé. 

The Memphis native took to social media following the ceremony on Sunday night (Feb. 5) to document the moment she met the history-making songstress.  

“I met Beyoncé bye !!!!!!! My life is COMPLETE,” GloRilla wrote alongside a video of the two artists sharing a hug. “I love you so much,” she told Bey in the short video.

Meanwhile, over on Facebook, GloRilla changed her profile pic to one of her wearing a beaming smile while talking to Beyoncé. 

“I’m finna get my 15 second conversation with Beyoncé tatted !!!!!!ahhhhhhh I’m still not over it,” she wrote before adding, “I hugged Beyoncé I’m never taking a bath again.” 

As if a tattoo to mark their meeting was not enough, Glo said she intends to preserve the wig she wore while meeting the Renaissance creator.  

“I’m never getting rid of this wig. This wig is going in a muthafucking trophy case. B####, this is the wig I met Beyoncé in,” GloRilla said Tuesday. “B#### I don’t wanna hear s###, I met Beyoncé!” 

GloRilla received her Grammy nomination in the Best Rap Performance category for “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” her breakout single with Hitkidd. She ultimately lost out to Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Part 5” but revealed Queen Bey is one of her dream collabs.  

“There’s a lot of people I want to do songs with that I’m a fan of,” she said during an interview with Grammy.com ahead of the awards show. “But my top two that I’m extremely obsessed with is Beyoncé and Chief Keef. I want to work with Drake and Lil Wayne, too.”

Questlove has claimed Will Smith had to drop out of a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday because he was shooting “Bad Boys 4.”

During the show, Questlove and his band The Roots took part in a collaborative performance celebrating 50 years of hip-hop alongside Nelly, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Run-DMC, and Will’s former performing partner DJ Jazzy Jeff, among others.

The musician revealed to Variety on the red carpet that Will was originally supposed to be involved in the tribute.

“I’ll give the spoiler alert away. Will Smith was part of the festivities tonight, but they started shooting Bad Boys 4 this week,” he explained. “There were a lot of preliminary shots that he had to do, so we had to lose Will.”

He added that getting Will involved was “a shot in the dark” because he is “always shooting movies.”

The performance would have marked the actor’s first awards show appearance since he infamously slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars after the presenter made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Chris was presenting the award for Best Documentary, which was awarded to Questlove just after the shocking moment.

Will and his “Bad Boys” co-star Martin Lawrence announced that they were reuniting for a fourth instalment last week. The project is being directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who helmed 2020’s “Bad Boys for Life.”

Ice-T Explains Why He’ll Never Rap On ‘Law And Order: SVU’

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Ice-T avoided rapping on Law and Order: SVU for more than two decades – and he plans to keep it that way.

The Hip-Hop legend talked about portraying SVU’s Odafin “Fin” Tutuola in an interview with TODAY. Ice-T shut down the idea of his character spitting bars when asked if he’d consider rapping on the show.

“I wouldn’t do that,” Ice-T said. “That would be corny because Fin would be able to rap as good as I rap. So, they would have to try to make me rap half-assed, which I wouldn’t do. Now, I got to draw the line somewhere.”

Ice-T wasn’t willing to rap on SVU, but he had no problem coming up with rhymes for his co-star Mariska Hargitay. The gangsta rap pioneer recalled writing for Hargitay in the TODAY interview.

“It’s funny, though, Mariska has me write her raps,” he said. “She wants to rap, like, ‘Write me a rap.’ So yeah, I wrote a rap for Joyful Heart (Hargitay’s foundation). She’s got a little rap I wrote her early. She’s like, ‘It’s time for you to write me a new rap.’ All right, take it easy, Mariska.”

Hargitay will be one of the speakers at Ice-T’s upcoming Hollywood Walk of Fame induction. The rapper/actor is scheduled to receive his star on February 17.

Chris Brown attempted to apologize to Robert Glasper for mocking the accomplished musician on social media.

Robert Glasper’s Black Radio 3 won Best R&B Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards, which upset fellow nominee Chris Brown. The controversial singer disparaged the Grammy winner after losing in the R&B category on Sunday (February 5).

Chris Brown admitted he wasn’t familiar with Robert Glasper’s work prior to the Grammys outburst. Breezy also complained about the two being in the same category.

“THE ORGANIZATION ISN’T DOING US BLACKS OUR DUE DILIGENCE,” he wrote. “YOU AND I SHOULD never be in the same [category].. two totally different vibes and genres. So from one Black man to another.. CONGRATULATIONS.. HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO FEED YOUR FAMILY FOR LIFE.”

Offset denied fighting Quavo at the 2023 Grammy Awards after TMZ claimed the Migos members were involved in an altercation.

According to TMZ, Offset and Quavo “got into a physical fight and had to be pulled apart” backstage at the Grammys on Sunday (February 5). Offset dismissed the allegation on Monday (February 6).

“What tf look like fighting my brother yal n##### is crazy,” he wrote via Twitter.

Prince speaking about Offset’s relationship with Takeoff. Offset told J. Prince and the music executive’s family to stop playing “internet games” regarding Takeoff’s death.

“Y’all n##### speaking on my real brother,” he said. “How dare one of y’all n#### even speak on me and Take’s relationship, n####. I don’t know you n#### from a can of paint, n####. Y’all n##### don’t know how me and my brother rock.”

Flo Rida Seems To Bump LL COOL J Out Of The Way To Become The 11th Richest Rapper

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

Rapper Flo Rida has won his compensation lawsuit against the energy drink Celsius and may be one of the richest rappers of 2023.

As AllHipHop.com reported, the Florida rapper filed a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida in 2021 that said Celsius Energy Drink breached its 2014 contract with him, when the company refused to pay him royalties, bonus compensation, and incentive compensation.

The lawsuit said after Flo Rida started working with the company, it “exponentially increased product revenues and sales, attracted key investors, and upgraded its financial status — all of which ultimately led to the important transition into the Nasdaq market in mid-2017 and the company’s upward success.” 

However, on Thursday, Jan. 26, a jury recently awarded him a whopping $82 million in compensation after he won.

The “Low” rapper told Entertainment Tonight’s host Kevin Frazier, “Justice came, thanks to God. Other people out there who might be going through a situation when you give your truth, you can only expect the victory.”

Adding, “They didn’t want to give me my just due, but thanks to the judicial system… I’m just overwhelmed and just excited about new ventures as well.” 

So, what do you think Flo Rida is going to do with this newfound wealth?

He said, “I’m all about giving, you know, giving is required so I look forward to taking care of the neighborhood.”

With this win and coupled with his already $50 million net worth, Flo Rida is poised to be the 11th richest rapper in the world, according to Wealthy Gorilla. He bumps LL Cool J out of that spot, who reportedly only has a net worth of $120 million and is under Swizz Beatz with a $150 million net worth.

Combined with the new award, Flo Rida may be sitting on an estimated net worth of $132 million.

Lizzo gave Beyoncé major props when she accepted Record of the Year award at the Grammys in Los Angeles on Sunday night (February 5), thanking Beyoncé for “changing my life” as she accepted the trophy.

The singer looked visibly shocked after she beat the likes of Adele and Beyoncé to win one of the night’s biggest prizes for her song “About Damn Time.” During her acceptance speech, Lizzo turned her attention to Beyoncé and praised her for making such a big impact on her life.

“Beyoncé, in the fifth grade, I skipped school to see you perform,” she said directly to her idol. “You changed my life. You sang that gospel medley and the way you made me feel, I was like, ‘I want to make people feel this way with my music.’ So thank you so much, you clearly are the artist of our lives. I love you.”

Lizzo, who performed “About Damn Time” and “Special” during the show, also dedicated her award to the late “Purple Rain” singer Prince, who she collaborated with on the song “Boytrouble” from his 2014 album Plectrumelectrum.

“When we lost Prince (in 2016) I decided to dedicate my life to making positive music,” she explained. “This was at a time when positive music and feel-good music wasn’t mainstream and I felt very misunderstood. I felt on the outside looking in. But I stayed true to myself because I wanted to make the world a better place.

“And now I look around and there’s all these songs that are about loving our bodies and feeling comfortable in our skin and feeling f###### good and I’m just so proud to be a part of it. Because in a world that is a lot of darkness and a lot of scary s###, I’d like to believe that not only can people do good, but we just are good, we are good inherently.”

Concluding her speech, she yelled, “God bless you all, we got a f**king Grammy!” Lizzo now has a total of four Grammy Awards.

Some Other “Stuff” About The Grammys, Gangsta Boo, The BeyHive + More

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

There was all sorts of stuff going on backstage at The Grammys! I ain’t gonna lie: I wish I was there.

So there was some stuff at play that I heard. Beyonce was “robbed” of the coveted Album of the Year Award – AGAIN. Beyonce has not expressed any discontent, but she had to be somewhat disappointed, losing to Harry Styles. But, here’s the catch. A lot of the BeyHive was in the building and began to heckle as Harry accepted his honors. They were p#####! So, Beyonce did manage to break the record for MOST Grammy win from ANY artist EVER. That is an amazing Blessing and Honor, but I cannot help but think there was a downside to it.

Gangsta Boo was somehow missed in the honorary segment to those that have passed away! How’d they manage to get Hurricane G in there and miss somebody that was as impactful as Gangsta Boo. Boo is also very recent. I don’t know but people went off about it.

Here is our last talk with her.

Lil Need was also overlooked but I do not know much about him. He was signed to Young Thug’s YSL Records and 300 Entertainment. I guess those two entities were not enough. Oddly, he died of natural causes, not gunplay.

There was a ton of things that happened, but I don’t have much more intel at the moment. Send me an email to ki*********@***il.com!

I did see Flavor Flav performing at the official Grammy afterparty with Flo Ridah! HA! That’s crazy. I also saw LL and Ice-T linked up at rehearsal. They used to battle back and forth on the mic in the name off Hip-Hop. Now, they are two incredible business men and mega stars that have no time for that.

TMZ Sports breaks the news that Brooklyn Nets superstar will be trading in his Timbs for a Cowboy hat.

Shams Charania tweeted out Brooklyn will now welcome Spencer Dinwiddie back home and also get Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round pick, and a handful of second-rounders.

Net fans didn’t want him to go. During the Nets vs. Washington Wizards game on Saturday, Feb. 4, they booed him after news started to float, he wanted out.

The athlete just has not been happy since being suspended after he posted a flyer for a movie that promoted a movie about Black Hebrews.

The controversy caused Irving to lose his eight-year partnership deal with Nike.
