Megan Thee Stallion is out for blood. Tonight (January 26), the rapper has shared her new single, “Venom.”

Right out the gate, Meg makes it known she’s back with a vengeance.

“I just want to kick this sh*t off by saying, ‘F*ck y’all. I ain’t gotta clear my name on a motherf*ckin’ thing,” she says in the song’s intro. She proceeds to address her omnipresence in the game, saying, “My p*ssy so famous, might get managed by Kris Jenner next”

Throughout the song, she delivers scorching bars, taking no prisoners. Everyone can get the smoke, and Meg isn’t holding back.

She continues to address “goofy ass hoes” who “look so dumb every time y’all celebrate fake news / Using my name for like and views, I don’t give a f*ck what y’all make.”

Meg then questions the purpose of the people who continue to talk sh*t, noting that they are gaining nothing from the actity.

“These blogs get paid to lie / Y’all talk sh*t and be broke as f*ck,” she says to haters who drag her name on social media

Lil Nas X has the world talking. His latest video, “J Christ” has been met with praise by fans, as well as controversy from Christian conservatives (as was expected). This weekend, the pop and hip-hop hitmaker is set to drop his documentary Long Live Montero, which will give fans a look at his rise to fame, coming out, and handling scrutiny from the public. Ahead of the documentary, Lil Nas X has shared a new song, “Where Do We Go Now?,” written just for the film.

On the song, which was produced by Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin, Lil Nas X finds himself wondering what’s next. He’s had an impressive run as a gamechanger in the mainstream music landscape, however, seems to be grappling with the mixed emotions that come with fame.

“Where do we go now? / We’ve seen everything we had to see / We figured it out, my love / So where are we goin’? / So where do we go now? / We did everything so endlessly / And only to feel undone / So where are we goin’?,” he sings on the song’s chorus.

The song serves as a bridge between Lil Nas X’s debut Montero era, and the world he’s creating with his imminent second album.

Long Live Montero will be available for streaming on Max beginning 1/27.

The Kid Laroi is keeping fans fed. Tonight (January 26), the Australian hip-hop and pop hitmaker has shared “Heaven,” a poignant new ballad documenting a transformation in Laroi‘s heart.

On “Heaven,” Laroi reflects on his past — which consisted of much drinking and substance use. “I was reckless, drinking every night
And gettin’ high, nothin’ there behind my eyes,” he sings in the song’s opening verse.

He shares that he’s decided to invite love in, after shutting out the idea for years, and this choice has made a world of difference. Laroi has no desire to give up anytime soon, as he’s found a new heaven on earth.

“Heaven is a place I don’t wanna go / ‘Cause when I see your face, I don’t wanna die no more / And every time I pray / All I’m askin’ for is anothеr day / I don’t wanna die no more,” sings Laroi on the song’s chorus.

While Laroi hasn’t indicated that a follow-up to his debut album, The First Time is on the way, he has been hard at work on new music. In an interview with triple J Australia, Laroi shared that his sophomore album may arrive sooner rather than later.

“I’ve been waking up early every morning and going to bed late as hell, just like running around doing this type of stuff,” Laroi said. “I was in the studio today – I’ve already started working on the next record.”

Ice Spice is back. Tonight (January 26), the New York rapper has shared her new single, interestingly titled “Think U The Sh*t (Fart).”

Stepping back into her rap on a rhythmic beat produced by her loyal collaborator RiotUSA, Ice pushes her competition to the side, as she comes to reclaim the top spot.

“Think you the sh*t, b*tch? / You not even the fart / I be goin’ hard / I’m breakin’ they hearts / B*tches be quick, but I’m quicker / B*tches be thick, but I’m thicker / She could be rich, but I’m richer,” Ice raps on the song’s chorus

This week marks a year since Ice released her debut EP, Like…?, which spawned hits like “Princess Diana,” “Gangsta Boo,” and more. Given the catchy songs in her repertoire, fans are looking forward to a full-length project from Ice.

In an interview with Billboard, RiotUSA teased that Ice’s debut album will be filled with songs that will stand the test of time.

“Fans should know I produce and record too, so look out for my music,” he said. “Also look out for new classics with Ice in 2024. We’re working on her debut album as we speak.”

Give Steph Curry credit: He sure knows how to drop hints about things. Prior to Thursday night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings, Curry — who is mic’d up as part of Turner’s broadcast for the evening — told Warriors teammate Brandin Podziemski that he wants to hold a three-point competition with only two competitors, himself and New York Liberty standout Sabrina Ionescu.

They’re two of the best shooters on the planet, with Curry holding the title of the greatest marksman to ever play in the NBA and Ionescu setting the all-time record for excellence in a three-point competition at the WNBA’s All-Star Weekend this past year. And as it turns out, Curry wasn’t just floating an idea, because not long after Ionescu made clear on Twitter that she’s ready to get some shots up, Shams Charania of The Athletic brought word that there is a planned event in the works where the two will go head-to-head at the NBA’s All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis next month.

It’s unclear if this will happen on Saturday night amid the usual festivities or if the league would want this to serve as an extra bit of entertainment around Sunday’s game. Regardless, I think I speak for everyone when I say this is going to be extremely cool.

In July, New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu set a record with her performance in the final round of the Three-Point Contest in Las Vegas at WNBA All-Star Weekend. She made all but two shots on the way to 37 points and, just days later, Steph Curry made waves when he said “I gotta go after Sabrina’s record” during an appearance on ESPN’s NBA Today.

Six months later, the topic came up again, when Curry was captured by TNT microphones speaking to rookie teammate Brandin Podziemski before a matchup against the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center on Thursday evening.

Curry opened by asking Podziemski if he knew who held the three-point record, to which Podziemski correctly answered that it was Ionescu. Curry then indicated that the two sharpshooters “gotta settle this once and for all” and later said “I think I gotta challenge her.” And not long after the video hit the internet, Ionescu made clear she’s up for this, too.

Of course, this isn’t exactly binding, and Curry knew he was mic’d up when talking in this setting. Still, it would be riveting if Curry and Ionescu squared off in a made-for-TV event during the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.

Curry is the consensus answer as the best shooter in NBA history, and he has two Three-Point Contest wins to this point. He has now mentioned this twice as something that he’d like to do, and perhaps the powers-that-be, including the agent that Ionescu apparently shares with Podziemski, can help to get this done.

Justin Timberlake is continuing to roll out his upcoming fifth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. Today (January 25), the pop hitmaker dropped his new single, “Selfish.” The song arrives days before his Saturday Night Live appearance, where he will serve as this week’s musical guest.

Ahead of the show, SNL shared a promo for this week’s episode, with Timberlake, cast member Sarah Sherman, and this week’s host, Madame Web actress Dakota Johnson.

In the promo, Sherman appears defeated, and expresses that she is sad about her Oscar snub. However, this confuses Timberlake, as he wasn’t aware that Sherman was in a major motion picture in the past year.

“Wait, what movie were you in?,” asked Timberlake.

“No, not that kind of Oscar snub,” Sherman responded. “I asked Oscar the Grouch out, and he said, ‘Sorry, honey, I live in the trash. I don’t date it.”

Timberlake wasn’t having it. After Sherman’s story, he came to her defense, saying “You know what? Just tell me how to get to Sesame Street, and I will beat his ass!”

Saturday Night Live airs Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC, and streams live on Peacock.

Sometimes you see something so sweet that it just makes you emotional, even if you don’t know the people on your screen. But when you’re witnessing a true expression of love it takes those feelings to another level. At least that’s what seems to be true for people that stumbled across a sweet video by Dani and Colton, a duo that goes by the stage name ni/co.

The pair aren’t just bandmates, they’re actually engaged to be married and recently Dani surprised Colton with a song she secretly recorded about their love story. You can see once the song starts to play just how nervous she was being so emotionally exposed to her partner, yet how beautifully safe she felt being that exposed with him.

Dani sang along only glancing Colton’s way then hiding her face as it all sank in. Colton’s reaction when he realized the words of the chorus the look he gives can only be described as magic. He looks at her like she’s magic.

The song, “On Purpose,” and the video that clearly shows how much they love each other have commenters gushing over their love and sharing their own stories.

“Being loved intentionally is one of the reasons I married my husband. We’re together now over 31 years and he is still my best friend and biggest cheerleader who reminds my constantly that I do deserve love, when others had made me feel otherwise. Hold onto him and continue your love song,” one person writes.

Another person says, “Absolutely sobbbingggggg. Thinking this could be me and my fiancés first dance cause WOW incredible song writing. All the feels.”

“Honestly, this brought me to tears. Your disclosure about two kids of divorce hit home for me because I was raised watching divorce between my parents and my siblings. This is absolutely beautiful and intentional,” someone else reveals.

“Ok why am I crying here. I don’t even know y’all. Good grief. Well I’ll say this, one, he adores you, two, he’s legit. Moms know. Blessings to y’all,” a commenter writes.

Dani and Colton have now released the full version of the song, “On Purpose,” and it can be found on any music streaming service. In the full song, Colton sings the second verse and you can see why they not only make an adorable couple be an amazing vocal duo.

The Boston Celtics went into Miami hoping to get a measure of revenge on the Heat on Thursday night. Miami, of course, eliminated Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, and while 10 games separate the two teams in the standings at this point in the NBA calendar, there’s always tension when these squads step onto the floor.

Boston’s offense was magnificent on the night, particularly from behind the three-point line, thanks in part to a 3-for-4 clip from deep by Kristaps Porzingis. Unfortunately for the Celtics, Porzingis had to leave the game in the third quarter after he attempted to contest a shot by Bam Adebayo and landed on his foot, which led to Porzingis rolling his ankle and ending up in considerable pain.

His teammates had to play a 4-on-5 offensive possession, as the big man struggled to put weight on his left ankle. Once there was a break in play, Porzingis went right to the locker room with a little bit of help, and he was quickly ruled doubtful to return to the game. Porzingis was able to return to the bench, but because of the size of the Celtics’ lead, he didn’t have to reenter the game.

Taylor Swift is reportedly exploring taking legal action over alleged AI images of her depicted in sexual acts. Today (January 25), Daily Mail reported that the “Karma” hitmaker is “furious” over these images which have surfaced online.

According to Daily Mail, a falsified version of Swift is seen in various sexual acts while wearing Kansas City Chiefs gear, and while in the stadium. The real Swift has been a regular at Chiefs games, as her beau Travis Kelce is the team’s tight end.

A source close to Swift said to the publication “Whether or not legal action will be taken is being decided but there is one thing that is clear: these fake AI-generated images are abusive, offensive, exploitative, and done without Taylor’s consent and/or knowledge.”

The images began spreading through a Twitter account — an account which has since been removed from the platform, according to the publication. Since the spread of these images, “PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT” has trended on Twitter.

“These images must be removed from everywhere they exist and should not be promoted by anyone,” said the source. “Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans obviously. They have the right to be, and every woman should be. The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this and laws must be enacted.”

At the time of writing, Swift herself has not directly commented on the matter.
