The singer was absolutely glowing with her red carpet cuties by her side, and she got them a special introduction with Papa Smurf himself. We love to see Rihanna in mommy mode, and there’s no better example than strutting her stuff for the cameras with her adorable offspring.

The Bajan baddie’s baby bump was beautifully on display in a dark brown flowing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello skirt and lacy camisole with a matching leather jacket. She wore her hair in an elegant updo.

Of course, the little ones also represented for their flawless “Fashion Killa” family, like their dad, A$AP Rocky. RZA, 3, wore dark green cargo pants and a blush collared shirt with a matching tiny necktie. Riot, 1, rocked white cargo shorts, a white collared shirt, and a bowtie with a grey blazer. As one fan noted online, their fly fits were giving Dior drama “Fresh Off The Runway.”

The best-dressed babies looked surprisingly calm despite all the flashing cameras surrounding them.

Yet, both boys did seem to get a little star-struck when it was time to meet Papa Smurf and their mom’s alter ego, Smurfette.

During an interview with Variety, Rihanna joked that if her boo, A$AP Rocky, joins the next sequel, he would be “Freestyle Smurf” or “Fashion Smurf.” When asked about putting out new music besides her new movie’s soundtrack, the Savage X Fenty founder called herself “Uh Oh Smurf.” It’s no surprise considering no upcoming release is more exciting or demanding than her bun in the oven.

For now, Rihanna is busy enjoying her growing family with Rocky and being part of one of her favorite franchises. It’s perfect timing for the Bad Gal to put out something for the kids, but the Smurfs lover had her own “selfish” reasons for taking the role.

“This is not just for the kids. I’m going to be a little selfish on this one because I’m a superfan of the Smurfs. I’ve always been a fan. I’m really excited for a new generation of Smurfs fans,” she said.

This fun-loving and iconic moment comes just days after Rihanna attended her father’s funeral back home in Barbados. On May 30, Ronald Fenty passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 70. Paparazzi spotted the “Lift Me Up” star visiting him in his last days at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A.

She opened up to ET about Ronald’s passing and how she hopes his legacy lives on with RZA and Riot.

“I’ve always dreamed of what type of grandfather he would be to [RZA and Riot] because of the favourite parts of my dad. I think it prepared me for having two boys. The adventurous side of me, the outside side of me, the daredevil. It’s how I want to raise them. I want them to be outside and be in nature. No tablet babies,” she said, recalling her father’s influence on her most fun and free childhood memories.

We love to see Rihanna happy, surrounded by the love of her children, and living her Smurfiest life.

The Smurfs movie will hit theaters July 18.

Although the Ruthless actor called the ordeal “terrifying,” he claims the June filing was about defending other creatives from having to “choose between their dreams and their dignity.” He explained to The Hollywood Reporter, “Everyone deserves to go to work and do their job without their boss trying to have sex with them.” In the first interview since coming forward, Dixon discussed the alleged harassment that he claimed escalated to a sexual assault that he reportedly thought would end in rape.

Many comments latched onto speculation about Perry’s sexuality, which Dixon shut down. While the openly gay actor’s lawsuit noted that he “did not know that Perry was interested in men or that he was looking for a sexual relationship,” Dixon emphasized that the real issues are the alleged sexual harassment and assault.

“I’m not going to speak for him on how he identifies sexually,” he said about Perry, who broke up with Gelila Bekele, the mother of their 10-year-old son, in late 2020. “Regardless of his sexual orientation or gender, he should not be speaking to any of his employees whether they be men or women, gay, straight or bisexual about their sexual preferences, how often they’re having sex and physically assaulting them.”

As BOSSIP previously reported, days after the June 13 suit was filed, Perry’s legal team denied all the allegations as a “scam.” In a statement from attorney Matthew Boyd, he called Dixon an “individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam.” He continued, “Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.”

Read how Derek Dixon claims a chance meeting with Tyler Perry allegedly escalated to harassment and assault after the flip.

Pusha T and (No) Malice have proven that there’s no aging out of making a rap classic as their new album Let God Sort Em Out has hip hop fans giving them a standing ovation.

After a delay caused by tensions with Def Jam—hence the changing of their moniker from “The Clipse” to simply “Clipse”—the Brothers Thornton have reunited for their first offering in 16 years as a group. The pair took a traditional route to their album release by doing an actual rollout, including visuals, merchandise, an album signing, and interviews with several publications, culminating in a Tiny Desk concert where they performed some of their biggest hits.

At 48 and 52 years old, respectively, Pusha and Malice are shutting down any ideas of rap being solely a young man’s game, and we’re here for it. Their lyrical prowess, though seasoned, is still as lethal as ever, and their caviar dope-dealing bars are just as IG-ready as their younger hip hop peers. Plus, they tapped their fellow Virginia-native Pharrell Williams for nostalgia’s sake, making the album’s sonic footprint the dream of millennial music fans everywhere.

Describing the album as “sophisticated urgency,” Pusha T has leaned into the irony of two of the genre’s elder statesmen being able to deliver one of the most anticipated and positively reviewed projects in recent years.

“A perspective on life and how we view it,” he explained in an interview with Jerry Lorenzo for Spotify. “A perspective of the game, music, and how we feel about it. Also, just the idea of what hip hop means to us and the sense of like, this is a competitive game and we actually live it. We always try to showcase that being fundamentalist, with the word and showing that this is timeless. What we do is timeless.”

Clipse Confronts Losing Their Parents On Their Opening Track, “Birds Don’t Sing”

Let God Sort Em Out also showcases featured verses from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator, Nas, and Stove God, along with an appearance by John Legend, whose vocals are on display on the emotional opening track of the album. “The Birds Don’t Sing” chronicles the brothers’ feelings following the deaths of their parents less than 4 months apart, and sets the tone for the project’s transparency.

“We had to get that out of the way because it just had to be done,” Malice said of the track during a sit-down on the Joe Budden Podcast. “You always think, as far as death, it’s going to happen to somebody else, it’s going to happen at some far off abstract time, not in your family or whatever. With my parents passing within four months of each other, it wasn’t just like once. Once it happens once, you think it’s going to be another long time [before it happens again] but it was like back to back.”

Pusha T Doesn’t Hold Back On Kanye, Who Says He Misses Their Friendship

Pusha T has relished in the opportunity to be doing all things music with his brother again after going at it solo, primarily with Kanye West‘s Good Music. As always, he’s never one to mince words when talking about his experiences or feelings about fellow artists, including his former friend and collaborator, West.

“I feel like me and Ye, we don’t gel,” he said. “Where I am right now in my life, I’m not with anybody who ain’t on my team — especially when I’ve been on your team. He champions and stands next to anybody and everybody who don’t f**k with me. And I don’t get that. I don’t understand that.”

He gave more insight into why the two parted ways in a GQ interview saying,

“He’s a genius. But that’s why me and him don’t get along, because he sees through my fakeness with him. He knows I don’t think he’s a man. He’s shown me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.”

Pusha’s candor didn’t deter Kanye from taking to the internet to let people know that he “misses” their friendship, to which the “Ace Trumpets” rapper responded, “I don’t care about that at all. I’m sure, I would miss me too.”

Oop. Well, we will be busy listening to the Clipse’s new album on repeat for the foreseeable future.

For years, the friendship between Drake and LeBron James seemed quite close. The rapper and the NBA legend were often seen together courtside, celebrating wins. The duo was so close that Drake even famously had a tattoo of James in his high school jersey on his left arm—however, their dynamic seemingly shifted last year, during Drake’s highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar.

The tension became palpable when LeBron was observed publicly rapping and sharing lyrics from Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.” James was even spotted enjoying himself at Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” concert on Juneteenth 2024, where “Not Like Us” was a featured anthem. This apparent public support for his rival did not go unnoticed by Drake.

Drake seemingly began taking lyrical shots at James in the aftermath. In January 2025, a track surfaced called “Fighting Irish Freestyle” (a nod to LeBron’s high school alma mater’s nickname). He also appeared to call out James and Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (who starred in Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video) for being present at Lamar’s concert.

A month later, in February, Drake further fueled speculation when he famously changed the lyrics to his hit song “Nonstop” during a concert in Perth, Australia. Instead of the original “How I go from six to 23 like I’m LeBron?” he pointedly rapped, “How I go from six to 23 but not LeBron, man.”

Most recently, Drake addressed the frenemies fallout on “What Did I Miss?” On the new single, he rapped lines like, “I saw bro in the Pop Out with them but been d**k riding gang since ‘Headlines.’”

Drake Covers His LeBron Tattoo: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Takes Center Stage

Now, Drake has made his stance on his relationship with LeBron even clearer with a very permanent decision: Drake covers his LeBron tattoo with new ink featuring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. During his headlining performance at the three-day Twenty Years of Wireless festival in London, England, fans observed a significant change to his left arm. The original jersey tattoo of LeBron James had been replaced with a new one of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder jersey.

The choice of Gilgeous-Alexander as the replacement is highly significant. He, like Drake, is a Toronto native. He is also coming off an incredible 2024-25 NBA season, in which he led the Oklahoma City Thunder to their first NBA championship, defeating the Indiana Pacers in seven games. Gilgeous-Alexander was also crowned both the 2024-25 NBA MVP and NBA Finals MVP, averaging a league-high 32.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in the regular season. His meteoric rise and Canadian roots make him a fitting new muse for Drake’s body art. SGA was also featured in Drake’s “NOKIA” music video earlier this year.

LeBron, for his part, has seemingly remained unbothered, enjoying himself at a Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico recently, hours after Drake’s latest diss. Nevertheless, Drake’s decision confirms that the one-time bromance has indeed fractured.

Earlier this week, eagle-eyed internet investigators spotted a familiar face in the background of Megan’s latest summer vacation post on Instagram. During her photoshoot, the mystery man settled into a lounge chair for a closer look at her sizzling snaps. And who could blame him? It’s hard to focus on anything else besides the super snatched perfection of Thee Stallion, but countless comments caught Klay Thompson in the cut and set social media ablaze.

Welp, once fans already put the baller on blast, Klay decided to really give us something to talk about. On Saturday, Klay took to Instagram with a photo dump of his vacation, which turns out to be a tropical baecation in the Bahamas with the Hot Girl Swim stunner herself. In one photo, Klay is kissing a woman with flowing curls so big that they almost blocked his 6’5″ face. Although the woman’s back is to the camera, we’d know that colossal cake-clapper from a mile away, especially in those curve-hugging cream pants.

Another photo features a close-up of Klay holding Megan’s meticulously manicured hand as he leads her down a path to what looks like a sandy beach. We don’t get any additional glimpses of what looks like a very romantic date night, but fans have seen enough to stan the new celebrity couple.

Several comments joked that although the 35-year-old star is a four-time champ, they weren’t familiar with his game until now. The second-generation NBA star’s past romantic roster is as stacked as his stats. Klay keeps a ring and a baddie on his hands! He previously dated actresses Laura Harrier and Eiza González, and multi-hyphenate hottie Coco Jones.

Megan Thee Stallion most recently popped out with Bulls player Torrey Craig in 2024. It seems like the Grammy winner quietly kept it pushing after his ex threw some shade, and a model accused him of dirty dog DM diving during the relationship. Now, the hotties are celebrating that their fave moved on to bigger things with the future Hall of Famer.

Basketball fans claimed this further confirms that Klay is all the way back in his bag. He already got a makeover, ditching his fluffy fro for a throwback to his low cut. Between the sea-sickening waves and the ultimate wobbledy-wobbling wonder on Klay’s arm, he’s seemingly in his prime to collect another championship ring like an infinity stone.

If anyone can bring even more heat to the upcoming NBA season, it’s the Hot Girl Coach herself, and we truly love to see it!

Porsha’s journey and marriage to Simon Guobadia were a whirlwind that began with controversy and ended in a legal battle. As BOSSIP previously reported, their relationship ignited chatter from the start, as their engagement was announced in March 2021, just one month after they went Instagram official. This raised eyebrows, given Simon was still married to Porsha’s former RHOA friend, Falynn Guobadia. Despite the initial controversy, the couple proceeded with two lavish weddings in November 2022.

However, the union proved to be short-lived. Williams filed for Porsha Williams’ divorce in February 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Porsha later revealed to PEOPLE that her decision stemmed from discovering what she termed “complex” issues with Simon’s legal status and a pattern of alleged dishonesty and deceit. She told PEOPLE that in the final three months of their marriage, she realized Simon “wasn’t being honest with her about the ‘complex’ issues with his legal status.”

She recalled, “That’s when I knew, ‘This is probably headed down a dark road.’” Porsha, emphasizing her commitment to legal compliance, stated, “Everything I do is above board. When it comes to business, life… I have attorneys who make sure that I am in right standing with United States law. So I wouldn’t want to be involved in anything that would put me in a position not to follow our law. And I felt I was put in an uncomfortable situation, legally — in combination with dishonesty and deceit — where I needed to file for divorce in order to gain immediate protection.”

Simon, however, said that they had “no issues” as a couple and that Williams was “citing issues that happened in my past. I have spent the better part of 35 years of my life making up for it,” he added.

Porsha Williams’ Divorce: Finalization & Contrasting Reactions

The legal complexities of Porsha Williams’ divorce intensified when Simon was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while traveling back to the United States for a divorce hearing. He has since been deported to Nigeria due to a history of immigration violations, including bank and credit card fraud, according to PEOPLE.

Their divorce was officially finalized on June 11, with the judge ruling in Williams’ favor. The ruling upheld their prenup and granted her spousal support, among other things. This outcome led to distinctly different public reactions from the former couple.

Simon Guobadia quickly celebrated the finalization on Instagram, writing, “Officially single and finally free – thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!”

However, this celebratory tone was quickly followed by news that Guobadia plans to appeal the ruling. He also told Page Six that he “regrets their marriage.”

Porsha’s reaction, in contrast, was more emotional and reflective. In her PEOPLE cover story interview, she discussed the painful, months-long legal battle. “I really don’t wish divorce on anybody,” she said. “It’s horrible, to allow your brain and your heart to connect with someone and then have to battle them like this? It’s like, the worst nightmare you have ever, ever experienced because you don’t recognize who you’re fighting. Like, Simon right now? I don’t know who that is.”

Williams expressed a sense of betrayal, stating, “It makes you feel like everything was a lie. I mean, for you to hate me this much? Everything had to be a lie. Because I don’t have that kind of hate towards you in my heart. But then again, I’m the one walking away, not him. So I don’t know…” [PEOPLE]. She also revealed she still mourns the loss of the future they envisioned. “We had a future together,” she shared. “I mean, I truly envisioned my life with this person, and Simon was the same way” [PEOPLE]. She added, “Sure, I can still have a beautiful home. Sure, I can have money in the bank. Sure, I can still travel. But it’s hard to imagine doing them when the person beside you was not there,” she shared, through tears.

Despite the heartbreak, Williams expressed pride in her resilience, “I just thank God I have survived and still myself because sometimes, Lord, when you leave someone who is such a big part of your life? You do not feel like yourself for a long time.”

In a teaser for an upcoming interview with Complex Music, the singer and actress revealed that her lion King is “very gentle” and that his support of her new music was all the help she needed.

“It felt good to have someone be as passionate and as serious as you are,” Taylor said. “When you work on something, you have a whole team that’s supported, but nobody ever gonna see it the way you see it. Sometimes, you might get so passionate, they’re looking at you like, ‘chill out’ but to have a person that’s right there like ‘yup! mhmmm”, to have someone on your side fully hear you and don’t think your visions are crazy, don’t think that what you see or what you feel is crazy…”

She continued,

“I’m really big on how you handle me, and I feel like you got to handle me like a cup of tea. How would you walk with a cup of tea versus how you would walk with a bottle of water? You walk with a bottle of water, you’re like, shaking the water, you throwing it up and down. With a cup of tea you walk slower. You’re more calm, you’re more delicate. And even when you sip it, what happens if you sip the tea too, too fast? You’re going to burn your tongue. I am a cup of tea.”

Snap, snap, snap. Heard you, Teyana!

“I feel like he handles me as such, you know, he’s very, very gentle. It allows me to feel warm and to feel safe and not be in survival mode,” she said in closing.

Our girl has been basking in that pride rock loving since going public with Pierre during this year’s Oscars after parties and has released visuals starring her new man for two tracks from her upcoming project, Escape Room. The latest, “Bed of Roses” features the two sharing some sweet, intimate moments on..welll..a bed of roses, and the internet has not been able to handle all the heat. The teaser brought celebs like Winnie Harlow, Monica and Audra Day to the comments to gush over the hot couple.

The cute visuals also feature a spoken intro from actress Issa Rae who seems to be telling the story of how Teyana and Aaron came to fall for one another unexpectedly. May that type of surprise find us all!

It’s unclear when the two may have started getting cozy, but it’s obvious that they’re both really into what they’re building together. Not only did Tey throw him a surprise birthday dinner with both of their families and friends, she also brought him along to the BET Awards where she had her daughters, Junie and Rue Rose, by her side as well. Definitely seems like more than a summer fling and we’re certainly here for it.

Ciara and Russell Wilson just may have the Midas touch when it comes to hooking up singers and athletes.

On the heels of the news that Cleveland Cavaliers baller Donovan Mitchell had popped the question to singer Coco Jones, Russell posted the lovely couple’s announcement with a revelation that he and Ciara played a part in pulling off the romantic moment. And, honestly, we’re about fed up with them not dropping the deets for the girlies.

“Ciara and I are so happy for you two lovebirds,” he said in an Instagram story. “Thanks for allowing us to plan this with you Spida.”

Chile, do we need to be asking Ciara and Russell to go to the thrown of grace on our behalf? The pair also played Cupid to NFL star DK Metcalf and singer Normani who announced their engagement via Vogue in March.

“Me and Ciara are really close, and Russell and DK were teammates on the Seattle Seahawks,” Normani said at the time. “About two years prior to us even meeting, they were playing music videos in the locker room and ‘Motivation’ ended up popping up on the screen. He was like, ‘The moment that I saw you come up on that screen, I said, ‘That’s going to be my wife. That’s going to be my girlfriend one day.’’ I was in a relationship at the time, and then the chips just fell the way that they did.”

Ciara and Russ took to IG after DK and Normani’s announcement with a cute picture of the four of them on FaceTime saying,

“@RussellWilson and I knew when we introed y’all 3 yrs ago..love was truly in the air. Now y’all gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news! @DK Metcalf @Normani we love yall so much.”

Ciara and Russ know a thing about making it last forever as they just celebrated 9 years of marital bliss.

“9 years of pure joy, laughter, growth, and love! God really is the best author! I thank Him for our love everyday! Baby, thank you for loving me the way you do. In your arms is my truest and safest place!,” Ciara posted in a sweet tribute to her hubby. “There is absolutely nothing I wouldn’t do for you! I’m so excited to keep loving you more each day! Happy Anniversary @DangeRussWilson here’s to forever more! I love you so much!”

https://www.instagram.com/p/DL0kw3ABtUM/?img_index=1

And Ciara took the time to run down on Jim Jones and press him about finally marrying his longtime love, Chrissy, during this year’s BET Awards. The “Ride” singer told the Harlem rapper that the streets needed to see the couple tie the knot “for the culture” and that “it’s time.”

“Why not? Y’all have like lived life in every capacity anyone could live it in,” she said to Jones. “You living like you’ve already done it. So, let’s just seal it properly. Because you know what? She deserves it, you deserve it.”

Now, we wait to see if she and Russell truly have that direct line to God and if Jim and Chrissy will finally head down the aisle.

Sparks first flew between Cudi and Sartore in 2018. They connected at the late Virgil Abloh’s first show for Louis Vuitton. As Sartore recalled to PEOPLE, “I was working behind the scenes, and Scott was walking the runway. Our eyes met in the chaos, and there was a silent spark. After the show, Scott walked straight up and asked for my number.”

Over time, their connection blossomed, and after dating for about a year, Cudi proposed on December 28, 2023, in Kyoto, Japan. The couple kept their engagement private for a few months, only announcing it to the world via separate Instagram posts in April 2024, which also served as their official relationship debut to the public.

Their nuptials took place on Saturday, June 28. Sartore described the day as “the most perfect, flawless, peaceful day, and we want to do it all over again. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing.” The ceremony was officiated by the couple’s minister, Pastor Rich.

Kid Cudi Married: A Fashionable French Fairytale with Meaningful Tributes

The ceremony itself was described by Sartore as “bliss. A moment out of time where the world stopped, and it was just the two of us… It was just us and our love, and it was the purest moment.” Following the heartfelt vows, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour by the pool, a delightful dinner on the lawn, and an after-party inside the villa, where a restaurant was transformed into a “cozy” speakeasy.

Fashion was, of course, a major highlight, given Sartore’s background as a designer at Louis Vuitton and now as the head designer at ERL. The bride collaborated with her “bridesman,” Alain Paul, to design her stunning wedding dress. The gown, handmade in Paris, was composed of “60 meters total of six different custom laces.” Paul also crafted a mini version of a runway bridal style for Sartore’s after-party look. Cudi himself didn’t disappoint, collaborating with Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Saint Laurent, for three custom outfits for the weekend: an “elegant” and “laidback” look for the welcome dinner, a classic double-breasted black suit for the ceremony, and a dazzling crystal embroidered mousseline top for the after-party.

The wedding included heartfelt tributes to Virgil Abloh, who played a significant role in their meeting. Additionally, during cocktail hour, BadBadNotGood performed – a full-circle moment as they had also played at Abloh’s first show for Louis Vuitton, where Cudi and Sartore initially met.

Adding a personal touch, Cudi serenaded his new wife with two songs from his upcoming album, which he revealed is “inspired” by their love story. This grand celebration saw family and friends, including Cudi’s daughter Vada from a previous relationship, share in the couple’s joy.

After Kid Cudi married Lola, he expressed his overwhelming happiness on Instagram, stating, “Man, I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. A truly special day with amazing friends and loving family. I love this woman so so much, and I know she loves me in the same way. Its always a battle sayin ‘I love you more’ because she always wins that battle haha My best friend. My ride or die. To all of the fam that came thru, it was truly a pleasure having you with us on our special day.”
