For so many years, millions of her fans scattered worldwide asked if she had stopped playing music. She’s been AWOL from the music scene. Finally, everyone got the answer.

The “Diamonds” singer and fashion mogul, 33, is pregnant, expecting her first baby with rapper A$AP Rocky.

The couple was photographed out in New York City over the weekend, where Rihanna debuted her baby bump while wearing a long pink jacket. Her oversized outerwear was unbuttoned at the bottom to reveal her growing bump adorned in a gold cross with colorful jewels.

In one of the sweet photos, which were snapped in Harlem, where A$AP Rocky grew up, the rapper kisses the soon-to-be mom on her forehead as they enjoy a snowy walk outdoors.

He gave the world some of the greatest music hits; Robert Kelly, better known as R.Kelly, was at one time, the undisputed King of R/B. I watched him at the Brooklyn Federal court dressed in a yellow jumpsuit, dumbfounded as the judge announced that the jury had found him guilty on all Charges.
This literary means, R.Kelly will face decades in prison, and the creative genius may not have the opportunity to give the world and his fans a new song again. I will bring you a detailed write-up on how I feel about this whole R.Kelly case.

Stay tuned.

Trump’s final act in office is the pardoning of so many people including rappers. The plan to pardon Young Money boss, Lil Wayne has been put in motion.

Yesterday, the 18th of January, Trump’s administration put in place, article No. 45, as stated by media giant Bloomberg. The news was leaked by an anonymous source in Trump’s cabinet.

Lil Wayne amongst many other rappers, regardless of race, endorsed Trump during his failed 2020 elections, which was well reciprocated by the outgoing President.

The charge emanated from a December of 2019 incident in which Wayne was stopped at the Miami Airport by police who discovered a gold-plated Remington 1911, .45-caliber handgun loaded with six rounds of ammunition, personal use amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone in the rapper’s bag. He was charged with possession of a firearm in November of 2020.
