Natalie Nunn Strikes Back With North West Halloween Costume

Alexander Cole — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 10:46:44 +0000

With Halloween just a week away, numerous celebrities are starting to show off their costumes, and Natalie Nunn is no exception. Of course, just a day ago, North West dressed up as Nunn for Halloween and sported a large prosthetic chin. It is a costume that led to lots of debates on social media, although Nunn didn’t seem to be offended by it.

Just one day later, Natalie Nunn was able to get a comeback in. Below, you can see that she dressed up as North West. In fact, she went for a very similar outfit and hairstyle to what Kim Kardashian did earlier in the week.

In the video, Nunn also accompanied her outfit with the song “#north4ever.” Needless to say, Nunn was inspired and was able to get a look together in just a short amount of time.

When North West first dressed up as Natalie Nunn, there was all kinds of discourse going on. Some felt as though a child shouldn’t even know who Nunn is. Others thought that Kim was sending a bad message by letting her daughter “mock” someone’s appearance.

Not only was Nunn fine with it, but she also ended up doing the same right back to North. In the end, it is another case of the internet being entirely too parasocial for its own good.

Whether or not we see more Halloween looks from Nunn, Kardashian, and West over the next week remains to be seen. Although next week, we do imagine a whole host of other celebrities to get into the Halloween spirit.

Drake Leaves Yung Miami On Read Amid “Spend Dat” Remix Request

Alexander Cole — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 10:34:22 +0000

Drake is one of the biggest artists in rap history, so it’s no surprise that Yung Miami would want him on the remix of her biggest song. “Spend Dat” was one of the summer’s biggest songs. The same can be said of Drizzy’s “Janice STFU.” Therefore, a collaboration could have been a unifying moment.

Yung Miami has been open about her attempts to get Drake on “Spend Dat” remix. With her album Watch Dis dropping today, the collaboration could have been a major look for her.

However, in the end, Drake decided against it. Unfortunately for Yung Miami, he couldn’t even give her a “no.” While speaking to Nessa on Hot 97, Yung Miami reveals she was ghosted and left on read.

Yung Miami Tried To Text Drake

Yung Miami says Drake left her on read when she asked him to get on the 'Spend Dat' remix

“Drake left me on read. I'm like, 'Drake, what did I do?' I love Drake… Just tell me no. I'm good with the no, but leaving me on read is like, what?”

“Drake left me on read. I’m like, ‘Drake, what did I do?’ I love Drake… Just tell me no. I’m good with the no, but leaving me on read is like, what?” Yung Miami said.

Being left on read and ghosted in this matter must certainly hurt, especially as an artist who is just trying to capitalize on their moment. However, this shouldn’t be too surprising. Drake is an A-list artist, and typically, artists of that caliber pick their spots. They don’t just hop on every song in the name of fan service.

Regardless, it is easy to see where Yung Miami is coming from here. You would at least hope for some sort of response, even if it isn’t the one you were hoping for.

With or without Drake, “Spend Dat” continues to make waves. Meanwhile, the new album has arrived, and fans certainly have their opinions about it.

YouTuber Ethan Klein Accused Of Cheating On Wife Hila As “H3 Podcast” Goes On Hiatus

Alexander Cole — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 10:23:11 +0000

Ethan Klein is a controversial YouTuber who rose to fame alongside his wife Hila. They have built a podcast empire, although now, that appears to be crumbling.

On Thursday, Ethan took to social media to say that the H3 Podcast was going on indefinite hiatus. Just a few hours later, Hila Klein took to Instagram to allege that Ethan has been cheating on her.

“I am living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from,” Hila Klein. “My husband has been having an affair. I have been fed lie after lie after lie for months. I am tired of lies. Here is the truth.”

A post shared by Hila Klein (@kleinhila)

“I could sense something was wrong,” she wrote. “I tried to ask him questions and share my concerns and hurt feelings. But I was met with dismissive answers and no action. Things that bothered me continued to bother me, and he did nothing about it.

“So I trusted him. Because I loved him. I stopped questioning him and began to question myself, my own instincts. My sanity.

“Eventually, he was caught in a lie, and I knew I was done. But the lies continued. ‘It was just a kiss’ became ‘it was emotional cheating.’ After I dragged these lies from him, he finally admitted he’d been in an affair for over 6 months, the extent of which I’m sure I still don’t know.”

In the final slide of the Instagram post, Hila wrote about the betrayal and hurt she feels as her 20-year relationship appears to be over.

“The betrayal I feel is immeasurable,” she wrote. “The person I loved and trusted for 20 years evaporated overnight. He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting, and business. My only family on this side of the world. How do I even begin to make sense of this?

“I don’t know what comes next; I’ve never been here before. I am in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak. All I can do right now is focus on taking care of myself and my children, one day at a time.”

She concluded the post with advice for other people: “You’re not crazy. Trust your instincts. Trust yourself. If you’re not being treated right, get up and leave.”

Since this revelation from Hila, employees of the H3 Podcast have taken to social media to reveal that they will not be working for Ethan anymore. It remains to be seen if that changes in the future.

That’s a steady pace, and The Renaissance Man is the latest step for a regional name trying to get bigger. Take a listen and let us know what you think!

Live and Die – Song by French Montana featuring Stove God Cooks & Max B

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:44:13 +0000

French Montana is reopening the Coke Boys vault. “Live and Die,” featuring Stove God Cooks and Max B, is the first single from Coke Boys 7: All Dogs Go To Heaven, which is set to arrive November 6. The Max B connection is the headline here. French and Max have been on a roll lately, following their joint project Wave Gods 2: Cosmos Brothers, and any time the Wave Gods reunite, Harlem pays attention. Adding Stove God Cooks, the Syracuse rapper known for his coke-rap bars, fits the Coke Boys theme. The Coke Boys series is one of French’s longest-running mixtape franchises, and the seventh installment is already up for pre-order with 25 songs listed. That’s a big tracklist, and “Live and Die” is the first look at what’s coming. It also caps a very busy 2026 for French, who has already released Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos, WORLDWIDE WAVE and Wave Gods 2 this year.

Release Date: October 23, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: Coke Boys 7: All Dogs Go To Heaven

Quotable Lyrics

For I booked up them shows
Lived and died by the stove

Love Me Now – Song by Boldy James

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:39:56 +0000

Boldy James does not take days off. The Detroit rapper’s new single “Love Me Now” is out now, and it comes with a music video, adding another entry to what has been one of the most stacked years of anyone in rap. Seriously, look at the 2026 run. Boldy released five albums this year alone. He’s also been dropping singles back to back, so fans are not in a drought. That pace would burn out most artists, but Boldy has built his whole reputation on consistency and his laid-back, detail-heavy street storytelling. If you’ve been keeping up, “Love Me Now” is another one for the pile. If you haven’t, this is as good a time as any to jump in, because there is a lot of catching up to do.

Release Date: October 23, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

Try not to wait until it’s too late
Touché
But it goes two ways
All in my mix, don’t know the flavor of the Kool-Aid

Relax (2009) – Song by YG & Ty Dolla $ign

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:34:27 +0000

YG and Ty Dolla $ign are taking it way back. “Relax (2009)” is now on streaming, and the title tells you everything: this is an older record, not a brand-new collab. For longtime fans, the name should ring a bell. “Relax” with Ty Dolla $ign appeared on YG’s 2009 mixtape The Real 4Fingaz, years before My Krazy Life made him a West Coast fixture and long before Ty became one of the most in-demand hook singers in the game. Seeing it hit DSPs officially is a nice memory as to how far back these two go, since their run together includes everything from mixtape days to “Toot It and Boot It.” The timing lines up with a busy 2026 for YG, who already put out THE GENTLEMEN’S CLUB this year, along with singles like “So Real,” “MID LIFE CRISIS,” “OMG” and “SIMON SAYS,” plus a VERZUZ battle with The Game.

Release Date: October 23, 2026 (originally recorded 2009)
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

First off we gon’ do it like this
Just relax, take it off
Lay down on your back
Just relax

Lick Back (Remix) – Song by Jacquees featuring Lil Baby

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 05:37:00 +0000

Jacquees is giving “Lick Back” a second life, and this time he brought Lil Baby. The remix is a quick two-minute run that puts one of Atlanta’s biggest names on a summer record from the self-proclaimed King of R&B. The original “Lick Back” dropped June 12 with Juvenile on board. Jacquees directed the video himself and shot it in New Orleans, which made sense with Juvie in the mix. The song later landed on Mood 2, his July 31 sequel to 2016’s Mood, a 22-song project that also carried “Physical” with Tink, “Let You Go” with K Camp and “He Kant.” A Lil Baby remix is a smart way to keep Mood 2 in rotation a few months after release, and it’s the kind of pairing that should travel well on both R&B and rap playlists.

Release Date: October 23, 2026
Genre: R&B
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

I’m on the way I told her get fine
Yeah she know I’m for the streets
She want her lick back

Muse – Album by John Legend

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 05:19:00 +0000

John Legend handed the keys to Pharrell Williams, and Muse is the result. The 16-track album is produced in full by Pharrell, who also co-wrote it and appears on six songs, including the title track. The pair started recording in Paris in January 2025 at Pharrell’s studio inside Louis Vuitton’s headquarters, and per Apple Music, the spark was Legend singing the chorus on Clipse’s “The Birds Don’t Sing.” Speaking of Clipse, Pusha T and Malice show up here too, on “Bodies On The Floor.” Legend has been clear about the vision. His lead single “Daylight” arrived September 8, and “Pray For Ya” already got a runway debut, soundtracking Louis Vuitton’s FW26 men’s show. For an artist who has been doing this for two decades, it’s a real swing, and it’s their first full project together. There’s something for everyone on this project.

Release Date: October 23, 2026

Heavy Is The Crown – Album by Anderson .Paak & Cordae

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 04:52:00 +0000

Anderson .Paak and Cordae finally give fans a full joint album. Heavy Is The Crown is an 11-track project that the duo first announced back in August. The chemistry between the two goes back to “RNP” from Cordae’s 2019 debut The Lost Boy, and fans have been asking for more ever since. Now they’ve got it, with production credits reportedly including J. Cole, 9th Wonder, Hollywood Cole, Conductor Williams and Swizz Beatz, who also drops ad-libs on closer “Godfather II,” per Apple Music. Even the cover has jokes: the artwork is reportedly inspired by Step Brothers. It’s not all fun and games, though. There’s a few moments where the artists get introspective and personal. Cordae opens up about his mother siding with his ex, and .Paak admits to showing up drunk to his child’s birthday party. That’s a heavy admission for a project with a comedy-inspired cover, and it might be the most interesting thing about it.

Release Date: October 23, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: Heavy Is The Crown

Tracklist For Heavy Is The Crown

58th Floor
Airbender
I’m On
