I don’t need much of any reason to watch Beyonce, but to watch it as a family during social distancing?? Is just what we all might need.

It’s time to show up to your living room in your best BEYchella outfits. All my marching band heads, get your best dance routines together, and be ready to hit more than a few ripples. We’re having a virtual watch party as if we’re watching it for the first time.

What may have started as a simple tweet from Jasmyn Lawson, @JasmynBeKnowing, has now influenced not only the #BeyHive but the whole world.

With over 18K likes on these tweets, you can say everyone spread the word successfully to the point where… Beyonce saw it???? and shared it.

Girl I would be on the floor too. Let me know if your orange Ivy Park box comes in the mail… I’m still waiting on mine.

We’re less than 1 hour away. Will you be tuned in?? Social distancing just got a little better.

Social media, technology, and our phones are a few things keeping everyone connected.

Amidst being quarantined, John Legend is bringing entertainment to you! I’m talking about concerts via Instagram.

“…He opened the show while seated at the piano, performing hits like “Stay With You,” “Everybody Knows,” and his latest single “Conversations in the Dark” as over 100,000 viewers tuned in. His daughter Luna and wife Chrissy Teigen eventually joined the party, wearing just a turban on her head and a towel around her body.

In addition to performing his piano part from Lauryn Hill’s “Everything Is Everything,” Legend covered “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Office” theme song, as well as the theme from Bravo’s reality show “Vanderpump Rules.” He closed with his ballad “All of Me,” which was inspired by his wife” – Rap Up 

Watch one of the clips now

We’ll be seeing more of this in the future. So it makes me think, how are you apply yourself and bringing your talent/craft to your followers?

We all know Dababy does not play when it comes to his personal space.

And that Dababy has a short temper and can be quick to react.

Well in a video it appears a fan was being a normal fan and had her camera out recording him walking through the crowd.

The woman has a her flash on as well. In the video you can see her phone hitting Dababy’s face and out of reaction Dababy smacks the woman.

He later came back apologizing and explaining why he did it.

Kanye West Takes His Sunday Service to Prison!

Kanye West takes his “Sunday Service” to many places, but he has some people in tears after taking it to Harris County Prison.

Ye is seen hugging and shaking hands of the inmates while the entire prison is in full worship mode. The faces of the inmates are priceless and it isn’t a secret that Kanye’s service and presence must’ve meant a lot to them.

People still question West’s motives and even say, “he thinks he’s Jesus.” Others say that he’s truly doing God’s work.

Take a look at photos and videos posted below!

Kanye West “Brunchella” was a fail for his Sunday Service

Kanye West Sunday Service touched down in Baton Rouge for a church event that was organized by company called A Nation Events. The titled the event Bruchella and charged $55 dollars a plate that took to social media quickly with disappointment. Many called it a reminder of the Frye Festival in comparison. Plates seem real light and unfulfilling. Hip-hop mogul 50 Cent also put his two quarters in as well.

A Nation Events labeled the event as a fundraiser, but is seems the drawn revenue didn’t go to quality food but straight to the bank. Even though Mr. West paid for his own travel expenses and no charge for the service “Brunchella” was a failure to the attendee’s

And I’m here to let you know, by unpopular belief, these artists are NOT one hit wonders.

Now, you may have thought that for a longgggg time, but here’s some proof for you.

J Kwon is known for “errrrybody in the club getting tipsy” but who doesn’t remember still doing the chicken head (thats a dance if anyone is lost) to ‘Hood Hop’

I  need you to put some respeck on Lil Mama’s name.

Yes, she is known for her hit ‘Lip Gloss’ but there was a Time she joined forces with Chris Brown and T-Pain.

Here’s an honorable mention because she’s still dropping music. (This is a bop)

Remember MIMS (Music Is My Savior)

Maybe you remember ‘This Is Why I’m Hot’ well he had another song.

and for the record, Soulja Boy is not a one hit wonder. What are more not so hit one wonders artists?

New Music? Rihanna Gives Hope To The Navy…

Rihanna's 8th Album Artwork Reveal

This is not a drill. New music from Rihanna might be on the way.

On Saturday (Aug. 17), Rihanna allegedly registered a new song with music publisher, BMI. The song is entitled “Private Loving” and was written by Rihanna and dancehall artist, Demarco. Although Rihanna has yet to confirm the track, Demarco reacted to the post on social media, which makes Rih’s fans believe that the single might be legit.

Back in May, during an interview with T Magazine, Rihanna confirmed that she was working on a reggae album. The album will serve as the follow-up to her LP ANTI, which released to streaming platforms three years ago. While speaking on her forthcoming project, Rihanna stated that she couldn’t decide on an album title. Thanks to the Navy, however, Rih might go with R9.

“So far it’s just been R9, thanks to the Navy,” Rihanna stated. “I’m about to call it that probably, ’cause they have haunted me with this ‘R9R9, when is R9coming out?’ How will I accept another name after that’s been burned into my skull?”

Check out the new hints regarding new music from Rihanna below.

OMG! It Looks Like Chris Brown and Drake are Collaborating on Something HOT for The Summer! [PHOTO]

 

First of all, they’re both fine… and second of all they’re fine! haha

But seriously, Drake and Chris Brown are a major force when making music by themselves, but a collaboration from the two?  That would be amazing and have our summers lit.

It looks like Chris Brown is hinting that something is cooking up between him and Drake.  We’re here for it and can’t wait to be the first to play the song on Hot 96.3!

Come through Champagne Papi and C Breezy!
