Kountry Wayne is unashamedly about his paper.

The jewels he drops on how to obtain it are not those of a man who’s invested thousands of dollars on an advanced degree, but who learned via hustling in the streets and dealing with women. – Dustin Seibert Read More

It seems the cast of Saturday Night Live simply cannot escape the presence of Dave Chappelle, even on a night when he’s nowhere near the call sheet. The divisive, transphobic comedian popped up on stage alongside host Dakota Johnson, musical guest Justin Timberlake, and a slew of other celebrities including Jimmy Fallon and Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran during the goodbyes segment of this past weekend’s broadcast, seemingly to the surprise of the cast as much as the audience. – Emma Keates Read More

Remember all those stories comparing Ed Sheeran to Usher? Wait, you don’t, because that’s not a thing. Those kinds of stories only exist about female artists. Case in point, we spent all of 2023 constantly comparing Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. – Stephanie Holland Read More

The ongoing beef between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj has become more of an unhinged, one-sided feud. Who knew that one line from Meg in her new single “Hiss” would throw Nicki into a 72-hour spiral? However, that hasn’t stopped celebrities from chiming in. – Candace McDuffie Read More

If you thought Megan Thee Stallion’s “beef” with Nicki Minaj (and Minaj’s subsequent social media tirade) was gonna stop anything—you thought wrong!

Thee Stallion isn’t phased and if I’m honest, she hasn’t been ever since she dropped her first single and music video of the new year, “Hiss,” just last week. In fact, there’s been nothing but pretty pictures, gym photos, and her latest announcement on Tuesday’s episode of “Good Morning America” just reaffirmed her level of unbothered-ness. – Shanelle Genai Read More
