During a livestream known as Mafiathon 3, Mariah Carey startled fans with an unexpected shout-out to SZA while speaking with Kai Cenat. Her praise for the younger singer immediately set off speculation about whether the two might be preparing to work together—a prospect that, if realized, would rank among the most compelling collaborations in modern R&B. That speculation deepened when Carey posted a photograph of pale pink roses on her Instagram Story, a bouquet reportedly sent by SZA as a thank-you. Tucked inside was a handwritten note that read, “MC, I’m incredibly thankful for the love you’ve shown me. You’ve been a MASSIVE influence and inspiration for me and so many others! I eagerly anticipate the release of your new album next Friday! Looking forward to meeting soon! – SZA.” SZA then responded in kind, sharing her own Instagram Story that featured a vase of white orchids. The flowers were paired with a cryptic note: “9.24.25. See you soon… XX MC.” The date has prompted a wave of guessing—was Carey inviting SZA to a private listening session for her forthcoming 16th studio album, Here for it All? Or was it a hint that the two might already be working on something together? Anticipation for Carey’s New Album For SZA, a meeting with Carey would carry more than symbolic weight. Despite her rapid ascent, the two singers have never crossed paths publicly, and Carey’s influence on the genre remains unmatched. On the livestream, Carey’s admiration was unambiguous, describing SZA as one of her favorite contemporary artists. The build-up to Here for it All, scheduled for release Friday, September 26, has already been intense. The 11-track record features collaborations with Anderson .Paak, Kehlani, Shenseea, and gospel legends The Clark Sisters. Though SZA’s name does not appear on the track list, the recent flurry of exchanges has given fans reason to hope that a collaboration may arrive sooner rather than later.

Amid her high-profile divorce from Offset, Cardi B has stepped into the spotlight once again, this time with reports of a budding romance with Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the New England Patriots. Over the weekend, the Bronx-born rapper joked about a proposal, saying her cooking had earned rave reviews. “That sh*t tastes good!” she laughed in a clip that spread quickly online, adding with playful insistence, “My man needs to marry me today.” The video, reposted by Live Bitez’s Instagram, quickly became fuel for social media chatter. Some skeptics dismissed the idea of marriage, with one commenter insisting, “He ain’t never marrying u I can guarantee it.” Others pointed out her ongoing legal marriage to Offset, noting, “Girl you still married legally.” Yet her fans were quick to push back, emphasizing the humor in her remarks. “She’s trolling; why is everyone so eager to be negative in these comments? This page seeks attention,” one user replied. Cardi B first acknowledged her connection with Diggs earlier this year, a moment that coincided with her separation from Offset. Since then, the two have appeared together at public outings, signaling a relationship that has moved into view. Diggs drew attention of his own when he celebrated the release of her latest album, Am I The Drama?, with an over-the-top gesture: a truck filled with roses delivered in downtown Manhattan. Cardi B’s Return Strikes a Chord The album, her first in seven years since Invasion of Privacy, has already become a cultural talking point. Listeners have praised its energy and scope, a response Cardi herself addressed in an emotional video. “What I’m most thankful for is how positively people are receiving my music,” she said. “I’ve received so many beautiful compliments that mean a lot coming from all of you. I invested considerable effort into this album and experienced a whirlwind of emotions throughout its creation. Your encouraging words have made it all worthwhile.” She went further, reflecting on the momentum behind the release. “It’s gotten to a point where I’m unsure which song to create a music video for next because you’ve embraced everything so well. Your support truly means everything to me. Thank you; it feels incredible.” For Cardi B, the past months have been a period of transition both personally and professionally. As her relationship with Diggs takes shape and Am I The Drama? cements its early success, she remains firmly planted at the center of pop culture—a reminder of how her voice, whether playful or serious, continues to command attention.

Doja Cat recently sat down with CBS News Sunday Morning to discuss her forthcoming album, Vie. The project is a follow-up to her 2023 project, Scarlet, and is set to release on Friday, Sept.26. Despite multiple Grammy awards and hit singles, Doja Cat reveals there were many moments when she doubted herself. However, that is no longer the case. “I’m very proud of the music I’m making now,” Doja Cat tells CBS host Michelle Miller. “I’m very excited because it’s things I wasn’t able to do before.” The “Say So” rapper noted that she hadn’t been able to “hit certain riffs or runs” in the past. However, with some time and hard work, she’s seen a significant change. She added, “I used to joke about that….I used to pretend to [sing]. And then I just sucked it up and stopped joking so much and took myself more seriously.” In July, Doja Cat announced that her forthcoming fifth studio album, Vie. The singer-rapper hopped on Instagram to share the exciting announcement with fans, writing, “Je sais que tu es ma vie Vie out 9/26.” The French phrase translates to “I know you are my life.” Doja Cat Refers To ‘Scarlet’ Album As A ‘Massive Fart’ Doja Cat seemingly launched into pop superstardom with her projects like Hot Pink (2019) and Planet Her (2021). However, the rapper-singer felt her skills as an MC were being doubted and decided to drop off Scarlet in 2023. According to Doja Cat, the project was almost like a “massive fart” she needed to release. “Not to diminish it, but it was a bit of like, I just need to get this out,” the rapper tells the New York Times. Doja continued: “I thought fixing that would entail making music that was more visceral or more emotional or maybe more angry or more sad. And I enjoyed performing it onstage, but it didn’t get me all the way there.” That said, these days, the rapper reveals to the outlet that she’s ready to “return” to what she knows.

Cardi B appears to be unfazed by any possible babymomma drama surrounding her boyfriend and soon-to-be baby daddy Stefon Diggs. Earlier this week, a paternity suit was filed against Diggs by model and influencer Aileen Lopera. During a recent IG live stream, as Cardi B cooked and talked with fans in the comments, she began playfully singing a mashup of her track, “Hello,” and “Woman to Woman” by Shirley Brown. The latter is an infamous track about a woman confronting her husband’s mistress. “Hello Barbara, it’s me, Shirley,” the rapper said. “Yep, it’s me! If that’s yo babydaddy, then that’s my babydaddy too, girl.” She added, “‘Well, what now?’ I don’t f*cking know, we’ll figure it out bitch. In December 2024, Lopera, who goes by Lord Gisselle on social media, filed the petition to establish parental rights before the child’s birth. Lopera would eventually give birth to a baby girl in April 2025. Per the suit, in July, Diggs responded to the petition with uncertainty about being the child’s biological father. That said, the NFL player did request a paternity test. An accompanying stipulation was signed, ordering both parties to comply with the test. However, the filings do not reveal if the testing has been completed or if results have been returned.

The project earned a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) only mere hours after the album dropped. Am I The Drama? has even broken a Guinness World Record after becoming the most delivered product by UAV drones in one hour. Earlier this week, Cardi B sat down with Gayle King for CBS Mornings to reveal that she and the NFL player are expecting their first child. “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend Stefon Diggs,” she told King. She added, “I’ve been putting in all this work, but I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby.” Cardi B is already the mother of three children, whom she shares with her estranged husband, Offset: Kulture, Wave, and Blossom. Diggs has a daughter named Nova, who was born in October 2016, with whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, Tyler-Marie.

On Saturday (Sept.20), during a sultry performance of “Take You Down,” Chris Brown brought Summer Walker on stage and gave her the show of a lifetime. The steamy affair took place amid Brown’s show at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Earlier today (Sept. 21), The Shade Room reposted fan footage of the steamy moment to their official page. Walker, who is a guest performer on Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX Tour, couldn’t help but blush like a little schoolgirl as Brown sang to her, as well as giving her a lap dance. Not long after, the video began to circulate online. A fan reached out to Summer Walker through Instagram. They made a joke that Walker was supposed to “put her legs up” and really enjoy the moment on stage. Walker responded, noting that while she had a great poker face on stage, she was actually nervous. According to her, Brown is her “celebrity crush.” Brown’s “Take You Down” segment has caused a flurry of conversation online over the past few years. In 2023, it was reported that a fan of Brown broke up with his girlfriend after she received a lap dance from the singer. “Take You Down” was released in 2007 and is featured on the singer’s sophomore album, Exclusive.

While in the middle of his U.S. tour, the singer addressed the conversation swirling around him. He made it clear he was over it. Before logging off Instagram, he left a sharp message to critics: “MISS ME WITH THE COLORIST RAGE BAITING.” Brown also admitted he was “sick” of the negativity filling his timeline. The timing of his exit came right after clips of his Los Angeles show went viral. During the performance, he pulled Kayla Nicole on stage for his “Take You Down” set. The two put on a show that had the crowd screaming. Fans captured the moment from every angle as Brown lifted her into the choreography. This created a scene that quickly spread across social media.

Earlier this week, Atlanta’s Live 5 News reported that after a nearly two-month investigation, an arrest has been made in connection with the theft of Beyoncé’s hard drives. According to police officials, the alleged thief, Kelvin Evans, had been serving time in jail regarding a parole violation. Since being linked with the alleged theft, Evans now faces a charge of entering an automobile with intent to commit theft, Live 5 reports. Back in July, a choreographer and dancer for Beyoncé revealed that a rental car they were using had been broken into. An incident report taken by police confirmed that inside the vehicles were at least five jump drives. These drives contained “watermarked music, some unreleased music, footage plans for the show, and past and future set lists.” INDIO, CA – APRIL 14: Beyonce Knowles performs onstage during 2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival Weekend 1 at the Empire Polo Field on April 14, 2018 in Indio, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Coachella) Surveillance Video Caught The Vehicle Used To Commit The Crime, According To The Incident Report A pair of AirPods, a MacBook Pro, and two suitcases had also been taken, according to the report. The incident report also contains a description of the vehicle — a 2025 Hyundai Elantra with Georgia plates. Security cameras in the parking garage also captured the incident. The next day, the vehicle’s owner was later contacted by police. They revealed they were renting the car out to “help pay bills,” the report said. Not long after, the police quickly tracked down the vehicle and eventually found the driver. A woman told police she’d picked up the Elantra from her mother, who’d rented the car from the owner. The woman would later be taken into custody for marijuana possession. She would also tell police that Evans, who happens to be her uncle, had asked her to pick him up. He reportedly told her that he needed to use the car to go to a “friend’s house.” Upon his return, the vehicle had four black bags inside it. Evans’ niece said he told her to meet him at her aunt’s apartment to drop off the bags. Evans, his niece, and a small child were later caught on surveillance cameras removing bags from the car. He returned to the car later that night and put a black bag in the trunk. Then he left on a bicycle.

According to reports, Interscope Records is shelving singer d4vd’s deluxe album, Withered, and has halted all promotional material. Earlier this month, it was reported that the singer had been linked to an LAPD investigation into a missing 15-year-old girl, Celeste Rivas, who was found butchered in a Tesla vehicle registered in his name. On Friday (Sept.19), sources close to the situation confirmed with TMZ that Interscope’s parent company, Universal Music Group, has hit the pause button on all promotional materials set to accompany the deluxe release of Withered, which dropped back in April — the project was slated to release on Sept.19.

(Photo by Josh Brasted/FilmMagic) Investigators Depart D4vd’s Home With Computers and Evidence Bags Earlier this week, officers executed a search at a Hollywood Hills residence. This action has drawn significant attention amid the ongoing inquiry. Authorities reportedly confiscated a computer and several unidentified items over the course of several hours. However, investigators have not confirmed any direct link between the property, the car, or d4vd himself. The car was abandoned for two weeks at a Hollywood tow yard. Rivas, reported missing since April 2024, reportedly had a boyfriend named David—speculated to be d4vd. As the investigation developed, d4vd canceled his scheduled performance in Seattle, originally set for the day of the search. TMZ sources reported that the artist had traveled to Los Angeles earlier that day. Resurfaced tweets, leaked music, and social media speculation have added layers to the story, complicating his ongoing collaborative projects. Kali Uchis, for example, announced she would step away from a joint effort with d4vd, citing uncertainty surrounding the case. Amid these developments, allegations of grooming and inappropriate contact have surfaced. This intensifies scrutiny. d4vd has remained largely silent, aside from brief statements from his representatives and limited fan interactions.

Rumors surrounding 21 Savage and Latto’s alleged romance have heated up once again, thanks to a new lyric that fans are convinced is a not-so-subtle nod to the Atlanta rapper. On Hunxho’s newly released track “If Only” (Sept. 19), 21 Savage delivers a line that instantly caught listeners’ attention: “Ain’t no pullin’ out, she told me keep it in / I done fell in love with the cheetah print.” For many, the “cheetah print” reference felt like a direct connection to Latto, who has long embraced the bold pattern as part of her style, branding, and even merchandise. The lyric quickly ignited social media chatter, with fans speculating that 21 was finally hinting at the romance that has been rumored between the two stars for years. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) 21 Savage and Latto have been the subject of relationship rumors since 2020. The whispers only grew louder after the pair were reportedly spotted vacationing together, though neither artist has publicly confirmed anything. Latto has also been careful to keep her private life out of the spotlight, often dodging direct questions about who she’s dating. While fans see 21’s “cheetah print” bar as a wink toward Latto, neither he nor Latto has addressed the speculation head-on. For now, the buzz remains based on interpretation rather than confirmation. Still, the line adds fresh fuel to ongoing gossip about the two Atlanta heavyweights being more than just friends.

This month, 50 Cent announced he had secured the rights to the iconic film Paid In Full, with plans to adapt it into a premium television series in collaboration with Cam’ron. The announcement has reignited a longstanding rivalry between Cam’ron and Dame Dash, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, now spilling into the courtroom. Dame Dash has filed a high-profile lawsuit against Cam’ron, seeking $300 million in damages, alleging a series of defamatory remarks he claims have harmed his business interests. In an Instagram post, Dash laid out his grievances: “I never hustled with @mr_camron; he’s a civilian. However, he’s meddling with my family office and causing discomfort for my wife and two sons.” He stressed his preference for legal resolution, adding, “I would never advocate violence, and I don’t wish harm upon those who care about me.” Dash concluded with a pointed note to the courts: “The courts will have to make a determination, as we conduct ourselves as businessmen,” while cryptically referencing potential property disputes. Cam’ron and Dash Escalate Feud Amid 50 Cent’s Latest Move Cam’ron responded swiftly, releasing the song When I See You alongside a music video that takes jabs at Dash, including playful references to his dental issues. The track underscores the heightened tension following 50 Cent’s announcement, with Cam’ron inviting collaborators to connect with him while 50 Cent is abroad. Fans familiar with Godfather of Harlem have expressed enthusiasm for the proposed adaptation. Dash retaliated publicly, targeting both 50 Cent and Cam’ron after learning of the project. Cam’ron later clarified that he had previously offered Dash a show on Revolt, provided he would serve as executive producer—a stipulation that reportedly triggered Dash’s backlash. The dispute underscores the complex interplay of artistry, personal relationships, and business in the hip-hop world. As legal proceedings move forward, industry observers and fans alike are watching closely, anticipating not only the outcome for the parties involved but also how this feud may shape broader cultural narratives within hip-hop and its enduring legacy.
