Rihanna Gets Clowned For Replying To Tweets About Fenty Skin From 2017

Rihanna is so excited about her new skincare line that she traveled all the way back to 2017 to let her fans know that it has finally arrived. On Tuesday (July 14th), Rih announced that she’d be expanding her Fenty empire even more by introducing her new skincare line. “Ima try my best to be humble about this but, @fentyskin is coming July 31st exclusively at FENTYSKIN.COM!!” Rih wrote on a clip of her using her new products to do her skincare routine. “Y’all ain’t hear it from me, but you can shop it early if ya drop me your email.” 

Rihanna’s fans have long predicted that the multi-talented mogul would eventually dip her toe into the majorly profitable skincare industry. In fact, the Navy—Rihanna’s fanbase—has been talking about the prospect of a Fenty skincare line since way back in 2017, shortly after she launched her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty. Rih reminded all of us just how long we’ve been waiting for this latest Fenty endeavour when she proceeded to respond to various tweets—some as old as three years—and everyone’s favourite Bad Gal is getting light-heartedly flamed for it.

While some of the tweets Rih quote-tweeted are as recent as 2019 or later, the jokes are mostly directed at the responses she gave to tweets that date back to 2017. “If rihanna come out with fenty skincare line for men i’m changing my middle name to Robyn,” a male user tweeted on October 22nd, 2017. “Whoever told you skincare has a gender, LIED to you! Hi Robyn!” Rih replied on Tuesday. “Boy I can’t wait to get my hands on some fenty skin care,” another user wrote on September 26th of that same year. “It’s that time you been waiting for boo!” Rih told them, almost three years later. “Rihanna’s skin care line is about to have men on the bandwagon too,” another user tweeted the day prior in 2017, as well. “Wash away my sins Ms. Fenty. I’m ready.” Of course, Rih reassured this man in the year 2020 that he would be included in the target demographic. “The true sin would be leaving my guys out!” she replied. “Not up in here!”

Tons of Twitter users lost it when they noticed just how old these tweets were that Rihanna was responding to. Many even flocked to her mentions claiming that she must’ve had these responses saved in her drafts for years in preparation for the eventual launch of Fenty Skin. Check out the funniest reactions below:

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. “
