Hey, everyone! Welcome. Today, let’s dive into some exciting updates, starting with the incredible singer and mogul, Rihanna. Just this past Monday, Rihanna received a significant honor in her home country, Barbados. She was awarded a medal, recognizing her as a national hero in the newly declared republic. Barbados recently severed ties with British rule, marking a historic moment as they inaugurated their first president, Sandra Mason. Amidst this monumental occasion, Rihanna was celebrated for her achievements, adding yet another milestone to her remarkable journey.
But that’s not all—rumors are swirling that Rihanna might be expecting a baby. Reports from a Brazilian article suggested that Rihanna could be pregnant with ASAP Rocky’s child, a story that gained traction when it was shared by The Neighborhood Talk. Rihanna’s close friend Melissa inadvertently fueled speculation by liking the post, prompting a response from The Neighborhood Talk, clarifying the situation. While Melissa didn’t confirm or deny the rumors, it’s worth noting that Rihanna has been subject to pregnancy rumors in the past, making it a familiar, albeit unsubstantiated, storyline.
I spotted her at the ceremony, and there was no sign of a pregnancy bump. She appeared to be her usual size. Rihanna’s weight can fluctuate, so seeing her with a bit more curves is not unusual, but as far as I can tell, she’s not expecting. If she confirms it herself, then we can discuss it, but for now, I doubt she’s pregnant. Now, shifting gears, let’s touch on Megan Thee Stallion canceling her graduation concert. Originally slated to perform in her hometown of Houston, Texas, she called off the show, sparking some chatter. Megan and her team cited the AstroWorld tragedy as the reason behind the cancellation. You’ll recall the chaos at Travis Scott’s concert, resulting in ten fatalities and numerous injuries. Since then, Houston’s concert scene has been subdued. Megan’s concert at the 713 Music Hall was meant to celebrate her impending graduation this winter, but she opted out due to the tragedy. Her statement expressed solidarity with the grieving community: “Out of respect for the lives lost in Houston earlier this month, I have decided to cancel my show… Houston is still healing, and it’s important that our community be given the appropriate time to grieve. My heart goes out to all of the families that are suffering during this difficult time.” However, some questioned whether her cancellation was truly out of respect or due to poor ticket sales. Media outlets like Media Takeout suggested her ticket sales were lackluster, potentially prompting the cancellation. While the exact numbers remain uncertain, it’s plausible that Megan called off the concert due to tepid interest. Given the hesitancy surrounding concerts in Houston post-AstroWorld, it’s understandable why attendance might have been lower than expected.
They lack enthusiasm for concerts, likely stemming from the tragic event at Travis Scott’s show. This might explain why Megan’s recent concert turnout wasn’t impressive. Despite being in her hometown of Houston, Megan should ideally draw large crowds, but she isn’t the controversial figure Travis is. Unlike him, Megan’s performances are safe, with no reported incidents at her shows. However, it seems some are still hesitant to attend. Expecting a sell-out at the 713 Music Hall, with a capacity of up to 5,000, was perhaps overly optimistic. Megan’s popularity and accolades notwithstanding, she hasn’t yet proven herself as a headline act. While she can likely pull off a solo tour, starting with smaller venues might be a wiser move. Meanwhile, Lil Baby’s recent rejection of Saweetie is making headlines.
Transitioning to the final topic, albeit slightly tardy, recent events unfolded where rapper Saweetie found herself in a public predicament after attempting to unveil her clandestine association with Lil Baby, only to face rejection. Just a few days ago, Hollywood Unlocked disclosed that Lil Baby and Saweetie were engaged in covert relations. It’s reported that Lil Baby was spotted lavishing nearly one hundred thousand dollars on Saweetie at the Chanel boutique. Initially, Baby refuted these claims, tweeting, “Baby not dating no one. I’m single.” However, he later retracted his tweet and sent flowers to Saweetie, an act she shared on her Instagram story along with several photos showcasing her adorned with various Chanel accessories. These actions seemed to amplify speculation that Lil Baby had indeed splurged on her during their Chanel outing. Furthermore, Saweetie shared a snapshot of herself seated on Lil Baby’s lap, initially causing confusion about his identity until online sleuths confirmed his presence through meticulous outfit matching. Predictably, this ignited a flurry of reactions across online platforms. It was foreseeable that drama would ensue, considering Lil Baby’s tumultuous relationship with his child’s mother, Jada, and the tangled web created by his involvement with Saweetie, who happens to be the former partner of one of his adversaries, Quavo. Notably, Lil Baby is embroiled in a feud with Quavo and the Migos, despite their shared label affiliation.
There’s tension brewing between them, and the situation escalates when he starts getting involved with Saweetie, making things even more complicated. Quavo isn’t thrilled to hear that his ex-girlfriend is now connected with his adversary. In response, he posts on his Instagram story, suggesting a potential exchange: “Ain’t tripping. We can swap it out. #QC The Label.” It’s a hint at trading Jada for Saweetie. Interestingly, when The Shade Room shares this post, Jada actually likes it. It seems like a petty move from Jada; she’s not interested in Quavo but wants to irk Lil Baby. And it works. Lil Baby definitely doesn’t want his baby mama involved with his enemy, so he initially tries to distance himself from the Saweetie rumors. He even messages blogs to deny the association, with one blog, That’s So Bold, sharing a DM from Lil Baby where he dismissively says, “Cap.” Later, publicly, he throws shade at Saweetie, suggesting she’s just seeking attention: “If you want clout, use baby. Bees really be weird.” Saweetie, feeling embarrassed, removes a picture of her and Lil Baby together. It’s clear that Lil Baby isn’t interested in publicly claiming Saweetie, despite their private interactions. Saweetie might have hoped for a PR boost from their connection, but it backfires. It was never a wise move for her, given Lil Baby’s complicated situation with Jada and their ongoing relationship rollercoaster. Furthermore, Lil Baby being an enemy of her ex-boyfriend adds to the messiness. Saweetie probably doesn’t need a PR relationship right now, but if she does pursue one, it might be wiser to choose someone outside the rap scene.
