Amber Rose Shares “How It Started” With AE

If you’ve logged onto social media in the last week, you’ve seen all of the “How It Started vs. How It’s Going” posts. Some of them are funny, others are sad, and some are definitely heart-warming.

Quavo shared the pick-up line he used to score Saweetie, which has resulted in thousands of regular men trying it out by sliding in their crushes’ DMs and reporting back to the rapper on how it went. 

Do you think people will try out Alexander “AE” Edwards’ approach next?

Amber Rose is in the news for several different reasons this week but, most recently, she has become the latest to share how her relationship kicked off with AE.

“How it started…… How it’s going,” wrote the model/activist on Instagram, screenshotting their early messages. 

Back in 2018, AE sent her: “Hey u. It’s Alexander… we just left the awards.. see I DM’d in 2016.. so I’ve been patiently waitin 2 yrs.. ha… where r uuu? I didn’t get a text.”

It doesn’t look like Amber actually responded to the message but, a few days after, she commented on one of his stories, calling him “so fine”. AE replied with, “Babyyyy”, and the rest was history.

If only they knew that “Baby” would turn into an actual baby for them. The couple welcomed their son Slash Electric last year. Do you think waiting two years for a reply will become the new wave?

Michael Coleman captures heartbreak’s quiet echo on latest release “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow”

Michael Coleman

The Metropolitan Cowboy Michael Coleman returns with a deeply affecting new single, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow,” a song that explores the emotional landscape left behind when love fades and certainty disappears. Written by Coleman, the track offers a reflection on heartbreak, loneliness, and the difficult process of rediscovering oneself after loss.

One of the song’s most compelling strengths lies in its honesty. Lyrics such as, “Right now she’s not anybody’s girl / Though she used to be someone’s wife,” reveal the profound identity shifts that often accompany heartbreak. Rather than offering easy answers, the track embraces uncertainty, making its emotional impact all the more powerful.

The chorus and bridge further deepen the song’s resonance, highlighting the struggle of moving forward while carrying the scars of past experiences. The line, “When you don’t know what comes next / You can’t protect your heart from battle scars,” serves as a striking reminder of the openness that comes with healing and personal growth.

Musically, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow” balances classic country sensibilities with polished contemporary production. The arrangement feels spacious and expressive, creating room for the song’s emotional themes to breathe while maintaining a strong sense of accessibility. The result is a track that feels equally at home during a solitary late-night listen or on mainstream radio.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.
