Kehlani Praised By Fans For Her Abs In New Gym Video

😭
🫶🏽

Earlier this week, Kehlani took to TikTok to share a video of herself after a trip to the gym. Unsurprisingly, that resulted in a lot of comments about her body. As is normally the case with her posts it was mostly dominated by fans thirsting over her. Even in the comments of a repost fans can't help but show their love for the singer, while others chose to crack their best jokes.

"My body would've looked like that if my mama didn't perm my hair when I was little" one of the top comments on a repost of the video jokes. "Her & teyana been in the gym together!! They look df good ! " another fan gushes. "That ain't surgery baby that's consistency. And she wears it so well" yet another comments reads. The massive swell of support for Kehlani runs basically from top to bottom in the comment section. Check out the original video that sparked all the positive comments below.

Last year, Kehlani spoke up with unequivocal support for Palestine. It only took her a few days from the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict to share a statement and she didn't hold anything back. She was also critical of many of her contemporaries who were silent on the matter, something that has continued in the months since. Her biggest story preceding that came a few months earlier when she lit up the WNBA Halftime show stage in July. Videos of the performance made the rounds online and had her trending.

Her most recent album blue water road dropped back in 2022. For the album, she recruited Blxst, Justin Bieber, Syd, Jessie Reyez, Thundercat, and Ambre. It spawned some of the bigger hits of the past few years for her with songs like "up at night" and "altar." What do you think of Kehlani's new gym video? Do you think the singer should keep sharing her progress videos? Let us know in the comment section below.

50 Cent Responds To Daphne Joy's Rape & Abuse Accusations

New details of Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit against Diddy came out this week, including allegations involving Daphne Joy. The actress shares a child with her ex, 50 Cent. She's accused of accepting money from the Bad Boy Records founder monthly in exchange for sex work. Shortly after the news broke, 50 Cent took to social media to troll her for the allegations. It was later revealed that he plans to seek sole custody of their son.

Earlier today, Daphne Joy took to her Instagram Story to address Lil Rod's accusations and 50 Cent's response. She denies ever being employed by Diddy as a sex worker, despite Lil Rod's claims. In her response, she also accused her ex of rape and abuse. "Let's put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me," she wrote. "You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on."

Now, 50 Cent has denied her allegations in a statement shared with XXL by a representative. "The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy the mother of my twelve year old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire," it reads. "The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time."

Legendary country icon Dolly Parton is embracing Beyoncé's foray into the country genre with open arms. In fact, she seems to be embracing her with enthusiasm. Moreover, Parton was even one of the first to extend her congratulations to Beyonce for her historic Billboard No. 1 Country song. With Beyoncé's looming presence on the horizon, not only in the realm of country music but also in terms of streaming dominance, Parton is showing she's ready to share the spotlight. In a recent Instagram Stories post on Wednesday (March 27), ahead of the anticipated release of Cowboy Carter - a project that includes a revamped version of her timeless hit "Jolene" - the 78-year-old songstress urged her fans to revisit the original rendition of the song. "Play the original while you wait for @beyoncé's 'Jolene,'" she encouraged, alongside a repost of Queen Bey's tracklist revelation.

Moreover, Parton's move reflects a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of music consumption. While she remains a staple figure in country music history, she acknowledges the influence and appeal of contemporary artists like Beyoncé. It's a recognition of the power of collaboration and cross-genres in the modern music scene. Moreover, Parton's nod to Beyoncé suggests a willingness to embrace diversity and innovation within the country genre. As the boundaries between musical styles blur, artists are increasingly experimenting with new sounds and collaborations. Parton's support of Beyoncé's take on "Jolene" exemplifies this spirit of openness and exploration.

However, it's not just about staying relevant in an ever-changing industry. Beyoncé's remarkable feat regarding her recent number one has sparked discussions surrounding diversity and inclusivity within the traditionally conservative country music community. Moreover, Parton's gesture highlights the power of social media in shaping musical narratives and driving engagement. With a simple Instagram post, she sparks excitement and anticipation among fans, igniting conversations and generating buzz around both her own music and Beyoncé's upcoming release.

Moreover, as the music world eagerly awaits the arrival of Cowboy Carter and Beyoncé's "Jolene," Parton's message serves as a reminder that while the times may change, the magic of music remains timeless. And in this ever-evolving landscape, there's room for both legends of the past and trailblazers of the future to shine. Are you excited for this new music release?

🇯🇵

Beyoncé is finally about to release her long-awaited eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, and fans have already begun digging through the tracklist to choose their favorite sonic expressions. The album touts a staggering 26 tracks, with features such as Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Willie Nelson, and several rising Black country stars. Still, a few notable performers are missing, who would surely have pleased fans far and wide. Since Cowboy Carter was announced, the BeyHive has been in a frenzy to debate and discover which of their favorite artists are on the genre-blending project. Here are a few artists who are absent from the album that fans would surely have enjoyed.

5. Lil Nas X

— ☆ (@LilNasX) February 12, 2024

This one is a bit of a long shot, but if anyone knows about crossing pop-rap and country tunes together in one harmonious swing, it's Lil Nas X. The 24-year-old rapper has made no secret of his love for Beyoncé and a crossover event between the pair would have made for a perfect viral event. Lil Nas recently tweeted, "Beyoncé finna make me put my cowboy hat back on," following the announcement of Cowboy Carter, prompting some fans to presume the pair had been in the studio together cooking up country-style jams. Unfortunately, it seems that Lil Nas X made this statement just from a fan perspective. Still, if there were an artist to demonstrate the value of a remix, it would be Lil Nas X, so fans can still hold out hope that the "Old Town Road" rapper will appear on a Beyoncé track eventually.

4. Megan Thee Stallion

— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) March 27, 2024

Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion are two iconic contemporaries who represent the finest artistry that Houston has to offer. The pair previously collaborated on Meg's "Savage" remix, with Beyoncé specifically bringing some country flare to the rap record in lyrics like "I say left cheek, right cheek, drop it low, then swang / Texas up in this thang / Put you up on this game / Ivy Park on my frame, gang gang gang gang." The pair have reunited on stage as recently as September 2023 to perform the chart-topping remix together, leading fans to hope they had been in the studio working on more new tunes for Cowboy Carter.

3. Taylor Swift

— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) March 28, 2024

While Taylor Swift has moved away from her country roots in recent years, the global superstar is still beloved by many country listeners. Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are two of the world's most massive artists, each touting an incredible catalog and a base of ravenous, dedicated fans. While the pair may be too busy to combine their star power, it certainly would have been a massive moment for Taylor Swift to appear on Cowboy Carter. Unfortunately, it looks like the Swifties and the BeyHive will be battling it out for who has the bigger and better album this year instead of joining forces to celebrate the biggest cross-genre collab in recent memory.

2. Jay-Z

— BEYONCÉ NEWS (@BeyonceHiveNews) March 28, 2024

While Jay-Z is not particularly known for producing hits within the country genre, fans would definitely have appreciated a feature on Cowboy Carter. The hip hop icon has been with Beyoncé for over 20 years, spanning a long history of chart-topping collaborations on records such as "Crazy In Love," "03′ Bonnie & Clyde," "Lift Off," and "Family Feud." Despite Jay-Z not laying vocals on the new album, his fingerprints are likely all over the project behind the scenes. After all, the album does advertise the 54-year-old's namesake right in its title.

1. Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar seemed like an easy choice to drop a feature verse on Cowboy Carter, especially after the PGLang rapper has repeatedly referenced the Compton Cowboys and dubbed himself Cowboy Kenny in recent tracks such as "The Hillbillies" with Baby Keem. Kendrick has also recently taken to rocking cowboy boots and cowboy hats in music videos and concert stops, making him an ideal candidate for crossing over into the country genre. Furthermore, Kendrick recently collaborated with Beyoncé on her 2023 record "America Has A Problem (Remix)." The track serves as the third collaboration between the pair and sees Kendrick referring to himself as an honorary member of the BeyHive.

Thanks to recent developments in the news, Diddy has been under a great deal of scrutiny. Many hip-hop heads are looking back into the history of the Bad Boy Records founder with a fresh set of eyes. One major moment in Diddy's story that has gone back under the microscope is his connection with the decade-long incarceration of former Bad Boy signee Shyne. In 1998, Shyne, a major up-and-comer in hip-hop, signed with the label. However, his career took a significant hit in 1999 after a shooting incident. In 2001, authorities charged and imprisoned Shyne, only three years after he signed the multi-million dollar deal. Diddy and Shyne faced charges, but the label mogul was mysteriously acquitted. Let's look at the incident and incarceration of Shyne and how it connects with Diddy in light of recent events.

The Shooting Occurred In December 1999



Just one year after joining Bad Boy, Shyne found himself embroiled in a shooting incident alongside Diddy and Jennifer Lopez. Diddy and Lopez maintained a romantic relationship during that time, and the trio attended an industry event at a New York nightclub. According to witness testimony, a man named Matthew Allen, who went by the nickname Scar, entered into a verbal altercation with Diddy. This soon escalated into a series of death threats and physical violence. Guns were drawn, and shots were fired inside of the packed night club, injuring three random bystanders. Prosecutors accused Shyne and Diddy of drawing guns in the building, though both rappers claimed to be acting in self-defense.

Shyne claimed he fired into the air, assuring the court that he did not hit any bystanders. Despite eyewitnesses' statements contradicting Shyne's claim and asserting that all three injured civilians sustained gunshot wounds from Shyne's gun, testimony from a ballistics expert appeared to challenge his assertion. The expert revealed that one of the injuries resulted from a 40-caliber weapon stock, which did not match Shyne's 9-millimeter weapon. Nevertheless, despite this evidence, the court convicted Shyne of two counts of assault and reckless endangerment. He was also tacked with criminal possession of an illegal weapon. Consequently, he received a ten-year prison sentence with no possibility of parole.

Diddy Was Acquitted Of All Charges

Why bring this up now? What's going on?

— IamLegend (@DarkSideAdvcate) March 28, 2024

Despite Shyne's conviction, Diddy managed to wriggle his way out of numerous charges associated with that fateful evening. Diddy's charges included attempted murder, intentional assault in the first degree, illegal possession of two firearms, and bribery in connection with the impending trial. Once Shyne was incarcerated in Clinton Correctional Facility, he severed all ties with Diddy and Bad Boy Records. He has since expressed feeling extremely bitter to his former label boss. The details surrounding Diddy's acquittal are murky. Yet, many rap fans assume the executive and his lawyers conspired to pin the entire shooting on his signee.

Shyne Has Since Made Up With Diddy



Despite their past conflicts, Shyne and Diddy eventually reconciled after authorities released the former rapper from prison and deported him to his home country of Belize. Since his sentencing, Shyne has converted to Orthodox Judaism, reunited with his estranged father, and actively served his constituents after they elected him as Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives. Shortly after joining the House of Representatives, government officials across Belize called for an amendment that would bar ex-convicts such as Shyne from running for office. This injustice caused Diddy to reach out in support of his former collaborator, and the two made peace.

In a January 2022 interview with Drink Champs, Shyne expressed, "Puff, to me, totally redeemed himself" in response to Diddy's political support. He continued, "I did go through a stage of bitterness. But in retrospect, I blame it more on the lawyers that were advising [Diddy.]... That was over a decade ago and I was in a different space then."

Earlier this week, shocking new details of Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit against Diddy became public, revealing that various others were named in the suit. Yung Miami, for example, is accused of trafficking "pink cocaine" for the mogul. She's also accused of accepting monthly payments from him in exchange for sex work. Another person accused of accepting money from Diddy for sex work is the mother of 50 Cent's son, Daphne Joy.

As expected, 50 Cent was quick to hop online to address the headlines, and to reveal that he's now seeking sole custody of their 12-year-old. Now, Daphne Joy has taken to her own Instagram page to respond to the allegations, and to her ex's harsh words. In a since-deleted post, Joy accuses Fif of only seeing his son ten times in two years, despite her and the pre-teen living only a mile away from him. Her allegations didn't stop there, however.

"Let's put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me," she also wrote. "You are no longer my oppressor and God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me." Daphne Joy continued, denying ever being employed by Diddy as a sex worker.

"I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones' lawsuit," she said. "The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and character assassination. I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies against both Rodney and his attorney." What do you think of Daphne Joy's response to being named in Rodney Jones' lawsuit against Diddy?

Last summer, Pusha T fell victim to a barrage of bots on Twitter/X, which targeted him with a slew of bizarre posts. The posts included outlandish claims, strange altered images, and more. It wasn't long before fans started to speculate about the cause of the attack, and ultimately, settled on Drake. Due to their longwinded feud, as well as various posts including Drake-related hashtags, it only made sense that the Toronto-born performer could have spearheaded the attack in some way.

Now, yet another artist has come under fire on the platform, Kendrick Lamar. Twitter/X is currently flooded with countless wild posts about the performer. "Kendrick Lamar is Oprah Winfrey's adrenochrome plug," one of the posts reads. "Kendrick Lamar has an iPhone 6 with the screen cracked," another says.

— Cawb. (@CAWBBBB) March 28, 2024

Obviously, none of these claims are confirmed, nor is Drake's involvement in the debacle. Either way, fans are convinced. After all, Kendrick did just recently drag both Drake and J. Cole on a new track with Future and Metro Boomin, "Like That." Drizzy's yet to properly address the diss, though he's speculated to have a response on the way. He's set to appear on a track called "Olympic S*** Talkin" on Bfb Da Packman's new album Forget Me Not which arrives this Friday (March 29). Of course, listeners expect to hear him take at least a few shots at Kendrick.

Kendrick also may have a Drake diss track at the ready, at least according to streamer Adin Ross. He's yet to say anything publicly about his explosive We Don't Trust You verse. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar fans speculating that Drake is behind this latest bot attack? Do you think they're on to something, or is it a reach?

The Ghostbusters franchise began as a goofy passion project from iconic '80s comedians Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, and Dan Aykroyd. Since first premiering in 1984, the original Ghostbusters film has inspired millions of dollars in sales, merchandising, and Halloween costumes, and has launched a massive film franchise that spans five decades. Though the series saw a prolonged hiatus after the disappointing returns of Ghostbusters 2, Sony has rebooted the brand twice, with an all-woman cast in 2016 and a young cast of up-and-coming actors in 2021. With five films to choose from, here's a definitive list of the highs and lows the Ghostbusters franchise has to offer, ranked from worst film to best film.

5. Ghostbusters (2016)



Paul Feig's all-woman Ghostbusters reboot from 2016 is widely regarded as the franchise's worst entry. The film has sufferred a flurry of critiques from fans and critics, with some highlighting genuine filmmaking issues and others making hollow complaints about so-called "woke" casting choices. Though the film has received a great deal of undue criticism, 2016's Ghostbusters fails its most important task by simply not being funny.

The film, featuring a stellar cast of SNL alumni, including Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, should have dominated the comedy scene. Unfortunately, the team just couldn't bring it all together in the edit, with poor writing, obnoxious performances, and over-the-top slapstick that completely misunderstands the tone and vibe of the Ghostbusters franchise.

4. Ghostbusters 2 (1989)



Despite the palpable hatred that Ghostbusters fans hold for the 2016 reboot, 1989's Ghostbusters 2 has the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of any installment in the franchise, with a paltry 55 percent. The film doesn't measure up to the 1984 original and suffers from behind-the-scenes drama that seeps into the final edit. Bill Murray alleges he was deceived into joining the project and largely blames his lackluster performance on his genuine disdain for the script. Murray's ire for the production and subsequent falling out with Harold Ramis on the set of 1993's Groundhog Day essentially eliminated the possibility of a third installment in the original film series, despite the best efforts of screenwriters Dan Aykroyd and Tom Davis.

3. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)



The latest installment in the Ghostbusters franchise just dropped last week and has already received mixed reviews. While the film seems to revive some of the magic from earlier installments, it also relies far too heavily on nostalgia to sell tickets. Luckily, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire pushes the boundaries of the franchise by introducing some bold new concepts and shifting the lore into unexplored territory for the first time in decades. Only time will tell how this film is regarded in the overall context of the larger series, but for now, we feel comfortable ranking it dead in the middle.

2. Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)



Ghostbusters: Afterlife surpassed all odds by expanding the lens of the original films while remaining true to the franchise's roots. Director Jason Reitman set out to launch a legacy sequel that could introduce new characters while serving fans of the earlier installments, creating an excellent viewing experience. The film also stars a wide array of modern A-listers, including Paul Rudd, Finn Wolfhard, J.K. Simmons, Bokeem Woodbine, and Carrie Coon, with cameo appearances from the likes of Josh Gad and Olivia Wilde.

Most importantly, Ghostbusters: Afterlife succeeds where the 2016 reboot falls flat by bringing some warmth, charm, and humor to the big screen without relying on cheap topical gags and awkward attempts at fan service. While Frozen Empire doesn't quite hold up to the 2021 installment, it seems clear that these new movies are establishing a modern Ghostbusters franchise that properly carries the torch of the original.

1. Ghostbusters (1984)



Despite four more recent attempts to revitalize the franchise, the original 1984 Ghostbusters is far and away the best of the bunch. It may seem anticlimactic to list the original film at No. 1, but sometimes classics are classics for a reason. The dream team of Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson are unparalleled as the eponymous ghost-hunting quartet, and additional cast members Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis, and Annie Potts put the film over the top.

Ghostbusters maintains a perfect tonal balance that has never been perfectly replicated. It plays itself straight when necessary and pivots hard into comedic territory when appropriate. The film offers some genuine horror elements while still managing to be a classic, mostly family-friendly romp through New York City, culminating in one of the greatest giant monster fights ever committed to cinema.
