Erykah Badu, Teyana Taylor, H.E.R., & Brandy Link For “Ladies First” Cypher

An unforgettable moment during Tuesday (October 27) evening’s 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards has to be when four showstopping artists joined together for the Ladies First cypher. Teyana Taylor, Erykah Badu, H.E.R., and Brandy are all women dominating the Hip Hop and R&B circles, so it was only fitting that these women came together to once again debut their talents, this time to highlight all things womanhood. In the black and white clip, Ms. Badu dons the DJ cap as she starts things off by kicking off the beat. The familiar sound comes from Brandy’s classic 1994 hit “I Wanna Be Down,” and not only do the ladies give their performances over the track, the visual also mirrors the song’s music video.

Teyana opened things up with H.E.R. right behind her followed by Erykah while Brandy appropriately closed things out. Each artist tackled topics relating to Black womanhood and touched on socio-political issues that are prevalent to Black women. On Instagram, Brandy was thankful that her friends and fellow artists came together for this epic moment.

“BET Hip Hop Awards – Queen’s Cypher,” Brandy wrote. “And if they say sky is the limit then buy a cloud and if they can’t see us as an equal they not allowed. thank you queens.” Watch the cypher below and let us know what you think.

Jennifer Lopez was caught in a dramatic showdown with paparazzi during a recent Hamptons getaway with her children. The star’s frustration was palpable as she demanded photographers leave her and her kids alone, shouting, “Get away from me and the kids! Go away!”

The intense moment was shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, where Lopez’s fans quickly rallied to her defense.

The incident followed a heartwarming Instagram post by Lopez featuring a sweet photo of her and her twins, Max and Emme, captioned, “My whole heart.” While Lopez was enjoying the East Coast, her husband, Ben Affleck, remained in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Affleck’s daughter, Violet, recently visited Lopez on the East Coast.

In related news, Lopez has canceled her This Is Me… Live tour, which was set to include 30 summer shows.
