Joseline Hernandez Opens Up About A$AP Rocky Calling Her Rihanna’s “Evil Twin”

Joseline Hernandez is used to being compared to Rihanna, but a recent story about a run in with A$AP Rocky took the familiar lookalike discussion in an unexpected direction.

Hernandez, who appeared on Club Shay Shay after host Shannon Sharpe asked whether she sees the resemblance herself, spoke about the comparisons to Rihanna. The Puerto Rican princess clapped back by recalling a surprising run in with Rocky in Paris, where the rapper gave his own unforgettable take on the parallels.

Hernandez says she and her husband, Balistic Beats, ran into Rocky at their hotel while in Paris for a performance around Paris Fashion Week last year. Instead of simply noting a similarity, Rocky reportedly dubbed Hernandez “Rihanna’s evil twin. ” Hernandez was surprised by the description, and it made her laugh. She asked herself why she had to be the “evil” twin and made an awkward parallel into a funny moment.

Rocky allegedly responded to Hernandez, telling her that Rihanna loves her and also loves Balistic. The source said Rocky told Hernandez the singer knows the couple and is fond of them.

The exchange also gave Hernandez a chance to confront the comparisons to Rihanna directly. She acknowledged that people often tell her she looks like the singer and stressed that she takes the comparison as a compliment. Hernandez said she thinks she’s gorgeous and they’ve got some of the same vibes.

For Hernandez, the meeting in Paris seems to have been less about taking the comparison seriously, and more about savoring the surprise. Rocky’s comment may have been a joke, but his follow up comments about Rihanna added another layer to the exchange. Hernandez did not say she and Rihanna were friends, or even that they had a direct relationship. Instead, she said what Rocky told her when they met in Paris, which gave her the impression that Rihanna knows who she and Balistic are and that she likes them.

In the end, the story leaves one detail open to interpretation , the exact reason Hernandez was dubbed the “evil twin.” Whatever Rocky meant by the playful label, Hernandez took it in stride, laughing at the unusual comparison while admitting others have pointed out the resemblance.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

Drake’s Houston appearance comes as he continues to promote music outside the traditional album release cycle. He released FOMO, a visual YouTube project featuring visuals for several songs from Habibti and Maid Of Honor nearly two weeks ago. The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.

Drake and Don Toliver have also dropped a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The remix has recently sparked speculation about the artists after re uploaded visuals allegedly erased all footage of Langley.

But the Houston show shifted the focus back to Drake and Karol G. The surprise appearance turned the stop into the first live showcase of “Ahi” for the audience, while Drake’s renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” extended his surprise time onstage. It also gave fans their first chance to see the two artists perform their collaboration together, adding a live chapter to the release of “Ahi. “
