Rihanna’s dance instructor circulates a Drake meme amidst criticism over “Fear of Heights”
Drake’s new release, “For All The Dogs”, has sparked controversy, causing a stir among both Nicki Minaj and Rihanna fans. Nicki Minaj’s fans, known as The Barbz, are angry over an apparent deception about a feature from Nicki, while Rihanna’s fan group, the Rihanna Navy, has issues with the song “Fear Of Heights”. This song is interpreted as a veiled insult directed at Rihanna, resulting in Paris Goebel, Rihanna’s primary choreographer, posting a photo of Drake uncomfortably kissing a woman on her Instagram story.
Drake and Rihanna were once close friends and even rumored to be dating intermittently between 2009 and 2018. Drake’s first two number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 were both features on Rihanna tracks (“What’s My Name?” and “Work”). However, this past relationship seems to be forgotten in light of “Fear Of Heights”, which appears to reference Rihanna’s 2016 album “Anti” multiple times and takes direct shots at Rihanna and her long-time partner A$AP Rocky.
In other news, actor Tyson Beckford has expressed his desire for Rihanna to perform live on “Dancing With The Stars”, even hinting that he might try to make it happen this season. Beckford, who is currently competing in the show’s 32nd season with partner Jenna Johnson, stated that he knows Rihanna’s team.
Recently, an appealing anecdote involving Rihanna surfaced. It was reported that during her pregnancies, she took pleasure in watching marathon sessions of “90 Day Fiancé”. This information was disclosed by Yara Zaya, a cast member of the show. She shared that in February 2021, Rihanna reached out to her to express her admiration for the show and Zaya’s particular narrative.
As for the “Fear Of Heights” controversy, it remains to be seen how it will unfold. Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts in the comments.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
