Snoop Dogg Reminisced About ‘Quitting’ Smoking Weed 20 Years Ago On The ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ Anniversary Episode

Last night (January 26), Jimmy Kimmel Live! celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special episode looking back at the show’s two-decade run. They even got the celebrity guests from the debut episode back: Snoop Dogg (who served as co-host on the 2003 episode) and George Clooney. The two had a retrospective conversation, in which they discussed how at the time back then, Snoop had apparently just quit smoking weed… or so he told Kimmel.

Kimmel brought that up and followed up, “How is that going?” Snoop, who is of course one of pop culture’s most famous marijuana connoisseurs, gave a fake sigh and replied, “Well, I guess I’ve relapsed.”

From there, Kimmel revealed he has hung on to Snoop’s 2003 rider (a list of things he wanted in his dressing room) for all these years and rattled off the items, which were mostly junk food. He then compared it to Snoop’s current rider, which is essentially the same but just a lot longer. Snoop laughed as he read the newer rider and then explained, “You got to look at it like this: Every opportunity to go on a television show is like a shopping spree. I get a chance to get some free groceries.”

Check out the clip above. Snoop also sat in on Kimmel’s conversation with Clooney, so find that below.

‘BMF’ To Blowin’ Money Fast: A Thousand Miles And Still Runnin’ In Season 2, Episode 4

(SPOILERS for this week’s BMF episode will be found below.)

Each week for the ‘BMF’ To Blowin’ Money Fast series, we’ll recap the episode by looking at a few key things to see how they hurt Meech and Terry’s money-making goals. Each item will be marked as a profit or a loss, the former keeping them in the black and the latter pushing them into the red. Throughout the course of the season, something that was once unprofitable could turn profitable, and vice versa, but we’ll have to wait and see what that might be.

Last week on “Devil’s Night,” the third episode in season two of BMF, Meech and Terry both suffered strong blows to their respective agendas. In the middle of a cocaine drought in Detroit, and other cities as well, Meech is left to go to extreme measures to get a new supply. However, he fails to accomplish the task placed before him by K-9 that would’ve granted him a new batch to sell, and as if that wasn’t enough, he also gets shot by Lamar to conclude the episode. As for Terry, he’s in a mini war with a competing car-ride service as they tampered with his tires and cause him and Nicole to get into an accident. Luckily for him, Terry is successfully able to retaliate thanks to help from Meech and Denise, the third driver in the Flenory Car-Ride Service.

In the fourth episode of season two, titled “Runnin’ On E,” Meech and Terry’s respective progress in their lanes blows up in their face. Once Meech is out of the hospital, thanks to Terry breaking him out to escape the wrath of Lamar, he, Terry, and B-Mickie are tasked with figuring out a way to find a new drug supply to get the BMF wheels turning again. Terry connects with a local drug supplier, Boom, who he convinces to give him a small batch of cocaine. He then instructs Denise to drive to Lansing, Michigan, but unbeknownst to her, Terry has hidden the drugs in the car for someone to take when she arrives in Lansing. Unfortunately for him, the plan goes terribly wrong when Denise is pulled over and arrested after the cocaine is found during a search. With Terry and a frustrated and angry Meech certain that she will tell the police all she knows, the boys are left to make a run for it out of Detroit.

Meech

PROFIT

Meech makes a fairly quick recovery after being shot by Lamar at the end of episode three last week. During his brief time in the hospital, Meech is watched over by Terry who even leaves a gun beside him for the moments he’s forced to leave him alone. Once he gets back on his feet, Meech does a good job of getting back to business. He relocates to his baby mother Lori’s (played by Serayah) house in order to hide from Lamar who is still on the hunt for him. He assigns BMF members to look out at Monique’s house so she and her daughter are safe. He rounds up the BMF troops to get back to work and he instructs Terry on what to do in order to get new product. Meech may have been down, but he wasn’t going to be down for long.

Terry

LOSS

Terry was doing so well this season, but man, in “Runnin’ On E,” he really screws up. He starts off the episode by doing all the right things. He makes sure Meech is safe in the hospital and sneaks him out of it before Lamar can come in to try and kill him. He orchestrates a deal with Boom, a drug supplier from the city, and gets cocaine for BMF to sell which is crucial as there’s a drought in the city. However, all of his hard work goes to waste when he assigns Denise, the third driver in the Flenory Car-Ride Service, to take a trip to Lansing, Michigan. She’s unknowingly making the trip to help drop off the drugs for BMF to set up shop in the city. Unfortunately, Terry’s plan crashes and burn when Detectives Bryant and Jin stop Denise, search her car, and find the cocaine in it. She’s arrested and taken in for questioning. Knowing that she will most likely tell the detectives that the drugs were Terry’s and not hers, Terry and Meech are forced to drop everything and make a run for it to avoid being arrested. Terry, known for his smarts, slipped up big time here.

Lucille

PROFIT

Lucille’s only flaw in BMF is probably exhausting her efforts with Charles, but when it comes to her children, she’s flawless in her support of them. When Pastor Swift prays for Meech’s speedy recovery during a church service, several members walk out as they refuse to pray for someone who they believe is hurting their community. Lucille takes note of this and decides to stand up for her son and call out the hypocritical church members. She criticizes a woman whose husband dealt with prostitutes before shifting her attention to another woman whose daughter was arrested for DUI. To Lucille’s point, you can’t throw stones while living in a glass house, and furthermore, she’s not saying her son isn’t guilty of the accusations placed on him. She simply wants him to stay alive long enough to maybe change his ways one day. What mother wouldn’t want that for her child?

Charles

PROFIT

I think for the first time all season, Charles has finally done right by his children outside of giving them a roof over their heads and food to eat. Towards the end of the episode, as Meech and Terry are saying their final goodbyes before making a run, Charles gives them a stack of cash to help their escape efforts. Up until this point, it seemed pretty clear that Charles would not have any compassion towards Meech or Terry if they were to get in trouble with the law. In fact, after Lucille stands up for Meech in church, Charles says he also would’ve walked out of church if Meech wasn’t his son. However, contrary to all assumptions, Charles does the little bit he can for both Meech and Terry moments before they hit the road. His additional instruction for them to stay together no matter what. Charles wants his kids to live on the straight and narrow, and even though he’s extremely frustrated that their lives are far from that, deep down he fears the worse happening to them, and in this episode, he showed that.

Flenory Car-Ride Service

LOSS

I mean. Charles, Terry, and Denise can consider this company as good as dead. Denise is in jail for being caught with cocaine that Terry placed in the car. Terry is on the run under the presumption that Denise will tell the cops that Terry put the drugs in the car. As for Charles, well, he’s down two drivers and it’s assumed that the car Denise was driving will be kept as evidence so he’s also down a car. Considering the fact that they’re still recovering from Devil’s Night, it will be extremely hard for Charles to make money as just the lone driver of the company. With all of that being said, the Flenory Car-Ride Service is essentially over. Its loss will probably leave Terry with no choice but to re-enter the game, but considering the fact that he’s already on the run, it seems like that choice has already been made.

Lamar

LOSS

Meech and Terry are going to have to find a way to get rid of Lamar sooner or later because that man is wreaking havoc on their lives. Let’s recap what he’s done in season two so far: he shot Meech, terrorized Monique and their daughter, killed two members of BMF who were formerly a part of 12th Street Gang, and impersonated a doctor with the goal of killing Meech. As if that wasn’t enough, the episode ends with Lamar chasing down Meech and Terry as they look to make their exit from Detroit and relocate to Atlanta. He crashes into Terry’s car several times and nearly swipes their car off the road. With Terry and Meech taking their talents to Atlanta for the time being, it’s assumed that Lamar will be out of their hair going forward. However, when they decide to return to Detroit, Lamar will certainly be there waiting to ruin any plan they have for success.

New episodes of ‘BMF’ are available on the STARZ app on Fridays at 12:00 am EST and on the STARZ TV channel at 8:00 pm EST.

A woman treats her miniature pig like a toddler and it even ‘talks’ with electronic buttons

Pigs are cute. Well, piglets are cute, but they usually don’t stay those tiny little snorting things very long. That is unless you get a mini pig and name it something majestic like Merlin. (I would’ve gone with Hamlet McBacon, but no one asked me.)

Mina Alali, a TikTok user from California, has been going viral on the internet for her relationship with Merlin, her miniature pig. Of course, there are plenty of folks out there with pigs—mini pigs, medium pigs, pigs that weigh hundreds of pounds and live in a barn with a spider named Charlotte. But not everyone carries their pig around on adventures like it’s their child.

Alali’s videos of her sweet interactions with her little pig have gotten a lot of people wanting their own piggy, but training Merlin wasn’t always easy. According to Yahoo Finance, the 25-year-old told SWNS that she has wanted a pig her whole life and finding Merlin was a “dream come true,” but she wasn’t expecting how challenging it would be to train him. If you’ve never been around pigs, then you may not know that they squeal—a lot—and unless you’re living on an actual farm, that could be a problem.


Alali told SWNS that she had to teach Merlin how to be calm when he was being picked up or else he would scream. Thankfully, since then the little piggy has taken to people and enjoys being handled. “It’s definitely an obstacle sometimes…You have to dedicate as much time and love and affection to [the pig], as you would a toddler,” she explained to SWNS. The internet is rejoicing that she didn’t give up on Merlin because her videos are so stinking cute.

@mina.alali

Replying to @alysa.evans Cried making this🥲 #merlinthepig #mina #adoption #pigsoftiktok #pig #piggy #fyp #xyzbca

And while this particular pig won’t become huge since he’s a mini Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, he will still get up to about 80 pounds once he’s fully grown. But Merlin is ahead of the crowd when it comes to smarts because he can actually communicate with his mom using electronic buttons.

@mina.alali

Finally feel appreciated around this place 🥹 #mydogtalks #merlinthepig #mina #pigsoftiktok #manners #thankyou #piggy #pig #fyp #xyzbca

Seriously, Merlin is making me want a pig, because how is he smarter than my dog, who would probably just eat the buttons instead of pressing them? But the adventures don’t stop there. Alali also takes her furry little child to grab morning coffee.

@mina.alali

still waiting on free Starbucks 😒 #merlinthepig #mina #pigsoftiktok #pig #piggy #FastTwitchContest #fyp #xyzbca

I mean, who doesn’t want to see a miniature pot-bellied pig grabbing Starbucks with his mom? The baristas certainly seemed entertained and can you blame them? By the end of this Merlin is going to be a celebrity selling his own skin care line to the masses because he is beyond cute and has demonstrated that he even has manners.

While Merlin is certainly adorable and has amassed more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok with his mom, you probably still shouldn’t run out and get a pig. Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs can weigh anywhere between 70 to 175 pounds and live up to 20 years, so owning your own version of Merlin is a commitment.

In the meantime, you can head on over to Alali and Merlin’s TikTok page and soak up all the pig content you want.

Daniel Caesar Asks ‘Do You Like Me’ On His Seductive New Single

Daniel Caesar is back with a seductive new song. On his latest, “Do You Like Me,” Caesar woos a lady, over a Raphael Saadiq-produced track, asking if she shares the same affections for him.

“Do you like the way I talk to you? / Do I titillate your mind? / Gotta say I like your attitude / And I’d love to make you mine / But I gotta know,” he sings on the song’s chorus.

In a statement accompanied by the song’s release, Caesar described “Do You Like Me” as “A song about a woman I respect deeply.. 90 degrees of a love triangle.”

Caesar discussed his upcoming album a year ago in an interview with Complex. During the interview, he revealed that the upcoming album will be mostly comprised of him, and feature very few collaborations.

“I’m not much of a ‘go outside and be social’ type of person and that was before the quarantine,” Caesar said. “So working on the album post-quarantine, you’re not really interacting with anybody else…But I have met a few people who have made me excited about making things again.”

We don’t know much else about Caesar’s upcoming album, but in the meantime, you can check out “Do You Like Me” above.

Flo Milli Delivered On An Impeccable Remix Of ‘Conceited’ That Features Lola Brooke And Maiya The Don

Flo Milli returns with an impeccable remix of her song “Conceited” which now has new features from Lola Brooke and Maiya The Don.

“Milli got millis / ‘Cause Milli got hits,” she opens the song before breaking the beat to introduce the other girls.

“Remember that when you see this motherf*cking face,” Milli adds during the talking break. “Get used to both of these faces, b*tch / ‘Cause we ain’t going no motherf*cking where b*tch.”

The three women hype each other up in the studio, right as the song’s remix continues. Brooke’s verse brings the heavy-hitting vibes, and the red lighting in the video reflects that. Maiya The Don equally carries the track, giving her own spin on Milli’s lyrics.

Still, the updated remix version keeps the original hit’s chorus, as the girls repeat “Feeling myself / I’m conceited” — giving some seriously powerful energy in the process.

About two weeks ago, Brooke performed at Flo Milli’s Los Angeles concert, according to a TikTok video of her singing her own “Don’t Play With It.” Considering the duo now have also jumped on a track together, it seems their friendship is close in all aspects.

The Kid Laroi Shares Intimate Moments With A Very Special Woman In His Video For ‘Love Again’

After dropping “I Can’t Go Back To The Way It Was (Intro),” the opening track to his upcoming debut album, The First Time, The Kid Laroi has shared the album’s first single. On the hotly-anticipated “Love Again,” The Kid Laroi questions if the love he once shared in a past relationship ever really ended.

Driven by a soft, acoustic guitar, The Kid Laroi delivers his signature raspy vocals, as he questions whether or not a past love will return.

“Can we find love again? / Is this time the end? / Tell me, how many more tears will drop / ‘Til you hit me with ‘Can we talk?’ / And try love again / Can we find love again?,” he sings on the song’s chorus.

In the song’s accompanying visual, The Kid Laroi is seen driving around the city, with a robot girlfriend. He humanizes the robot, as they are seen sharing intimate moments, engaging in arguments, and he eventually drives the woman into another man’s arms.

He can’t help but feel sad, as he sits in his living room, sifting through polaroids, crowded by empty pizza boxes.

You can check out the video for “Love Again” above.

The First Time is out later this year via Columbia Records. You can pre-save it here.

Zach Bryan Brings Maggie Rogers Along For The Ride Of Heartbreaking Realizations On His New Song ‘Dawns’

Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers dropped their new collab, “Dawns,” today. The rising country star co-wrote the heartbreaking song with Rogers, detailing every emotion that comes with love and loss — as the themes overlap in the verses.

With a minimal acoustic instrumental and Bryan’s gritty vocals, it elevates the tenseness at the song’s start.

“All is fair in love and war / So what the hell are we even fighting for? / I’m on your front porch begging for my dawns back / Give my goddamn records and my clothes back,” the two duet. “‘Cause everything that dies makes its way on back / I lost her last July in a heart attack / I need one small victory.”

However, the pace soon picks up when Rogers’ presence offers a subtle-but-stunning backing presence.

She also gets her own solo moment to shine on the track as it eventually slows back down. “It just dawned on me / Life is as fleeting as the passing dawn / And I should have told him twice,” she sings in one of the pre-chorus takes. It showcases just as perfectly she fits on this one.

Listen to Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers’ new song “Dawns” above.

Zach Bryan is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER Are Running From Temptation In Their ‘Sugar Rush Ride’ Video

If there’s something (of the many things) Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Huening Kai are good at, it’s leading us into tempation. (Amen.)

TXT, whose name is short for TOMORROW X TOGETHER, returns today (January 27) with their twelfth EP, A Name Chapter: Temptation. The EP marks the first of three chapters for the HYBE boy group’s new music storytelling series.

“It tells the story of youths who decide to embark on a long journey for their future but is swayed by the temptation in front of them,” Soobin explained in a press conference held yesterday, according to a report from Korea Herald. “All the tracks are connected by the central theme. If you listen to the tracks in order, you will be able to feel the emotional changes of the boy who feels happy after falling for the immediate temptation but soon realizes the reality and sets off on his own path.”

The lead single, “Sugar Rush Ride,” is a metaphorical alternative pop dance track that tells the story of how it feels to be shaken by the devil. You can hear in the breakdown of the chorus where the members whisper-sing “The devil said / ‘Gimme gimme more / Come here more / let’s play more.”

The visual component, on the other hand, embraces the dark fantasy as members are seen running through various open fields from the figurative form of temptation, as scenes of alluring and seductive close ups of the members flash in between.

“Sing Rush Ride” was produced by Slow Rabbit, and gives credit to Sofia Kay, Supreme Boi, Moa “Cazzi Opeia” Carlebecker, “hitman” bang, Salem Ilese, Krysta Youngs, Myah Marie Langston, and OLLIPOP.

Check out th full tracklist of A Name Chapter: Temptation below.

1. “Devil by the Window”
2. “Sugar Rush Ride”
3. “Happy Fools (Featuring Coi Leray)”
4. “Tinnitus (Wanna Be a Rock)”
5. “Farewell, Neverland.”

Taylor Swift Dwells On Love In The Dreamy New ‘Lavender Haze’ Music Video

Swifties have a lot to celebrate today! Taylor Swift has finally dropped the long-awaited music video for “Lavender Haze,” the opening track for her recent album, Midnights.

While Swift released two prior videos from this current era, fans had been eager for what they suspected was the visuals for this song — after spotting some clips with purple hues in the album’s teaser trailer.

As it turns out, they were correct on the theories. The “Lavender Haze” video finds Swift with co-star Laith Ashley, as they party as a pretend couple with their closest friends. In an incredibly psychedelic twist, she soon discovers that she floated into outer space.

However, the actual backstory behind the song is about her longtime, real-life partner, actor Joe Alwyn.

“I happened upon the phrase ‘Lavender Haze’ when I was watching Mad Men and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it was a common phrase that was used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love,” Swift shared in a previous Instagram video about the song. “Like, If you were in the ‘Lavender Haze,’ that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow, and I thought that was really beautiful.”

“I guess theoretically when you’re in the ‘Lavender Haze,’ you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud,” she added. “And I think a lot of people have to deal with this now — not just, like, quote-unquote public figures — because we live in the era of social media and if the world finds out that you’re in love with somebody, they’re gonna weigh in on it.”

Rosalía Yearns For Sweet Nothings On Her New Track, ‘LLYLM’

Rosalía is back with some new music. On her newest single, “LLYLM,” she seeks sweet nothings from a lover, even if she knows he’s not being sincere in his words.

She delivers her soft-tinged vocals over a punchy, hand-clapping track.

“I don’t need the honesty/ Lie like you love me / lie like you love me,” she sings on the song’s chorus.

“LLYLM” is sung with Spanish verses, with the chorus in English. She has been teasing the song on TikTok over the course of the past week, and although she only released her critically-acclaimed third album, Motomami last March, it seems like Rosalía’s gearing up for a new era.

This makes sense, as she revealed last December in an interview with Rolling Stone that she wants to put out music on her own terms, regardless of how short or long of a time it’s been between albums.

“I’d never want to put out records with a sense of urgency, or with the pressure of ‘Oh, it’s been X years,’ ” she said. “I don’t think I’m going to be that type of artist. I think I’m always going to make music when I feel like I have something to say.”

Check out “LLYLM” above.
