What’s Luv? Apparently, it’s not something that Ashanti and Ja Rule shared with each other.

Longtime collaborators, Ja Rule and Ashanti, have been linked together in romance rumors for the last two decades and, given their amazing musical chemistry, some fans assumed it was just a given that they had hooked up. According to one side of the equation though, that was never the case.

They’ve collaborated countless times and have some of the best working chemistry in the studio but, according to Ashanti, things never got past that point with Ja Rule. During an Instagram Live session with Fat Joe, another one of her close friends, she revealed that her relationship with Ja Rule was never romantic.

“Our chemistry was so ill,” she said before denying the dating rumors. “We never messed with each other like it never was even a thing.”

She went on to give more of an eye into their friendship.

“So we could not see each other for months and we would be at an awards show and perform on stage and it would look like we’ve been together the whole day. Even sometimes we would be coordinated with our outfits,” she said. “It’s crazy to have that kind of chemistry with someone you’re not in a relationship with.”

She may have never gotten past the point of “just friends” with Ja Rule, but she did reveal that she’s got herself a boy toy right now.

“A little something something, a little lituation,” she said to Fat Joe about her current love life.

There’s been a bit of speculation about what’s really going on between Tiffany Haddish and Common. The pair have been photographed together over the last few months, and the gossip train has continued to chug on by, spreading rumors about the pair’s secret relationship. Recently, Tiffany Haddish shared a photo of herself and Common after they visited a painting class, and Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles commented, “Beautiful couple” with a red heart. The message further fueled the gossip fire, but during her visit to The Real, Tiffany addressed the rumors.

“That’s my friend, he been my friend for a while,” Tiffany said. However, if the rapper wanted to change things, the actress is open to it. “But if he wants to date me, I will date him!” Tiffany puts Jeannie Mai, who’s dating Jeezy, on the spot and asked her help on snapping an emcee. “Give me some advice, how do you date a rapper?”

After the hoots and claps subsided, Jeannie told Tiffany that if she really wanted to go out with a rapper, she just has to make sure she’s selective. “Before you worry about what they gotta do, make sure you got your eyes on the right one,” Jeannie Mai said. “‘Cause it’s not just any of ’em.” Tiffany quipped that she sees that Jeannie and Jeezy “are on bikes and stuff” and “going to Jamaica.” It’s apparently a vast difference from the rappers Tiffany used to date because she claims they’re all in jail. Check out the funny clip below.

Kylie Jenner is currently leading the world into believing that she’s reconciling with her ex-boyfriend and the father of her daughter, Travis Scott, but is she really off shtupping his “SICKO MODE” collaborator Drake? 

For months, Kylie Jenner has given off the impression that she and Travis Scott are working on getting back together. They are co-parenting their one-year-old child Stormi Webster and spending more time together as a family but, somewhere along the way, Drake got mixed into all of this. The world-famous rapper has never confirmed that he is dating the billionaire make-up mogul, and neither has Kylie, but they keep getting caught up at the same parties and gossip sources are convinced there’s something going on.

The speculation began when Kylie Jenner was seen at Drake’s birthday party last year before they were spotted together once more in Los Angeles. Despite the reports that Trav and Ky are getting back together, Drake went ahead and flipped the script today after he allegedly spent the last two nights with Jenner.

One night after they were reportedly seen together at Delilah Nightclub, Drake and Kylie Jenner hit SHOREBar in Santa Monica together, leaving at separate times to avoid being photographed as a couple according to Hollywood Life.

This begs the question: who is Kylie Jenner actually dating? Travis Scott? Drake??? Neither of them? This is becoming pretty exhausting.

Solange Knowles and Chicago hip-hop artist, Common, are not dating according to the 33-year-old singer/songwriter. This past Friday (Feb. 29), both parties attended the inaugural Lena Horne Prize for Artists Creating Social Impact celebration ceremony to which Ms. Knowles was the first-ever recipient of the award for her social activism. After a photoshopped picture of Solange and Common surfaced on the internet, it sparked some dating rumors that eventually forced the "Almeda" singer to come forward and clear the air about their alleged relationship.

Solange Knowles took to her Instagram Story to leave a cryptic message denying that she and Common are dating with a screenshot photo of David G’s 2009 hit street single "Lying On Me." Later, the singer/songwriter's representation reached out to SOHH publicly denouncing any romantic involvement with the "Fifth Story" rapper, stating:

"Solange and Common are not seeing each other. Both artists attended the Lena Horne Prize event simply to honor Lena Horne’s Legacy."

Over the weekend, Kylie Jenner sparked rumors that she and Travis could be back together after she shared a series of throwback photos on her Instagram Stories showing her and Travis getting cozy while sitting courtside at a 2017 Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game. She captioned the post with “it’s a mood,” fueling rumors that the two could be working on their relationship.

Well in the wake of the photos surfacing, sources have said that Kylie and Travis are currently in a “great place” but nothing is official between the two. Sources tell People Magazine that Kylie isn’t wanting to put any labels on their relationship, and the two are NOT seeing any other people.

“Things are great with Kylie and Travis,” the source said. “They are very happy. Kylie still isn’t labeling their relationship. It seems they aren’t seeing other people, though.”

Kylie and Travis decided to take a break from each other back in October of last year. “Travis and I are on great terms. Our main focus right now is Stormi. Our friendship and our daughter is a priority,” Kylie wrote on twitter.

“I love [Stormi’s] mommy and I always will,” Scott told XXL magazine in December, only a few months after their break-up. “The hard part about relationships is just trying to be in one without a million outside voices interfering.”

Hopefully these two can get over their differences and make it work in the end. We’ll keep you posted moving forward.

Wendy Williams, the talk show host who is often under fire for scandalously discussing the personal affairs of others, had people prying into her dating life this past weekend. Rumors started circulating that she was dating 27-year-old jeweler, William Selby, after a series of Instagram posts she shared on Friday. During Monday’s episode of The Wendy Williams Show, she used her platform to tell her audience and viewers that she is only friends with that man. 

Williams spent Friday evening with Selby, who is commonly known as “Big Will” and has designed jewelry pieces for many popular rappers. The photos that Williams shared of her night with Selby were highly-conducive to speculation about possible romance, especially after they also attended a documentary premiere together earlier in the week. In the first post, she bragged that Selby had sent a car for her. The next hint that they were on a date was Williams photographing her fancy plate of meatballs. The icing on the cake was the shot of the two “friends” nuzzled up against one another on a couch. They smiled as their heads leaned together and they each placed a hand on the other’s leg. 

Despite all these signs suggesting otherwise, Williams claims she is not dating Big Will. She explained the backstory of the cuddly pic, which supposedly arose because they were visiting Selby’s friend in a frigid recording studio. “I had an interesting weekend,” she said on her show. “It was all innocent to me but apparently it caused waves everywhere else. All I’m doing is being Wendy. So I met this young man that I really like. Not in that way, I was setting you up with dramatic effect, he’s this rapper from Philly. His name is Black Papi. He’s 27. Now, I went to a studio session because he’s working on his album and he’s working on it in New York… I was only at the studio for 35 minutes. I was with my friend, who is also my jeweler, Will. But and whatever, here is the big [scoop]. Will is my friend, he happens to be a jeweler. I’m one of his probably low-paying clients. I’m not buying jewelry all the time.”

She then went on to further detail her and Will’s respective relationship statuses. “Will is involved with his family, he’s got a whole ‘nother life. No, we did not plan to dress alike. A lot of you all said we looked like a couple. No, we’re not a couple. I got on a beige negligee and threw on that [coat]. It was cold out. And then we get in the studio and I put it on my ‘gram. Yeah, we’re huddled like this in the studio because it’s freezing in there. We are not a couple and I do not have a boyfriend,’ she claimed. ‘That’s it. If I did, I wouldn’t have been out with Will.”   

Lauren London and Diddy were at the centre of some dating rumors that seemingly had no strong evidence behind them, and the widow of Nipsey Hussle has officially spoken out to deny any romantic involvement with the rap mogul. 

Earlier today, it was rumored that Diddy and Lauren London were seeing each other romantically but, shortly after the story was picked up, the actress took to social media to note that she is not currently dating anybody. At first, she kept things short and sweet by sharing a photo of Nipsey Hussle, insisting in the caption that she’s “still his.” Then, the grieving star shared a text-based post shooting down the baseless rumors involving Diddy.

“Stop fuckin playing with me and my name,” said London. “Now let me get back to healing.”

In her caption, she added that she isn’t a fan of how much speculation has gone into her life since the passing of her man. “I’m all love and peace but never forget….I’m a woman in grief and I don’t play about Nip, my family, my character and code,” she wrote.

Earlier today, HotNewHipHop published a story reporting on the dating rumors, noting that they came from an unconfirmed source. We reached out to Diddy’s representative before the claims were confirmed false and the story was taken down.

She recently jumped on Instagram Live to explain away her 2015 mugshot, but during that chat, Megan Thee Stallion also address rumors pertaining to her love life. The 24-year-old rapper has been tied to a number of celebrities now that she’s single and ready to mingle. Her reported romance with Moneybagg Yo came to an end and since that time, any man that pops up next to Megan has been deemed her suitor. The Super Bowl weekend kissy embrace with G-Eazy sparked more rumors, but Megan made it clear that she’s young and just having fun with male friends, not lovers.

“Stop talkin’ about my p*ssy,” she said. “My p*ssy tired of having press conferences wit’ y’all every goddamn week about who she dealing with. She not dealin’ wit’ nobody. She not. I ain’t got no boyfriend. None of these n*ggas is my boyfriend. We be havin’ fun when we be havin’ fun. Is that cool wit’ y’all? Can a real b*tch turn up? I’m twenty-mothafuckin’-four ready to mothafuckin’ go, b*tch.”

Megan added that she doesn’t understand why people are acting prudishly when it comes to how she behaves. “I don’t’ know when the f*ck everybody got so stuck up and perfect. I hate it here,” she said. “I hate the internet. I been turning up. Been partying… Been a wild b*tch.” Megan admitted that sometimes she and her best friend get a little too out of control, but she can have fun and “get that mothafuckin’ money at the same time.”

“Do you know you can hang out with multiple n*ggas a not be f*ckin’ ’em?” the rapper continued. “You can. It’s fun. Go try it. Go have a drink. Go to a party. After I get off work, I like to go turn up. I do. I like cute boys. If they cute, Imma shoot. Swish,” she said with a laugh. Watch the clip of Megan Thee Stallion’s Instagram Live session below.

After Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott announced their break-up last year, it was revealed that Drake had swooped in and was trying to win the make-up mogul over, but that didn’t please his “Sicko Mode” collaborator. While there were never full-blown reports that Jenner and Drizzy were an item, they were spotted getting chummy at his birthday party before hanging out in the studio, which some believed was a ploy to make La Flame jealous. These days, it looks like we’re nearing a reconciliation between Scott and Jenner but new reports state that, upon hearing about the rumors that Aubrey Graham was shtupping his ex-girl, Cactus Jack was pissed.

A new article published by People claims that Travis Scott was angry that, during their split, Kylie Jenner was hanging out with other guys. “He is very protective of Kylie,” says an anonymous source close to the situation. After being spotted in the same limousine while heading to an Oscars after-party, Travis and Kylie were the subject of reunion rumors once again, however, they’re not quite ready to put pen to paper yet.

“Kylie doesn’t want this public back-and-forth when it comes to her relationship with Travis,” said the same source. “When she is ready to announce that they are back together, she will.”

Thankfully for Travis, Drake appears to be out of the picture now that he’s reportedly been spending time with supermodel Imaan Hamman. Do you think Trav and Ky will get back together?

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky aren’t doing a good job of convincing us that they aren’t dating. To be fair, our reluctance to believe there isn’t anything going on between them may partially stem from the fact that people have been rooting for them to link up for years now. Their bonding over designer goods in Rocky’s 2013 music video for “Fashion Killa” first planted the idea that they’re a good match. When they walked the red carpet together at the British Fashion Awards last year, this fantasy was further fueled. Most recently, they were seen hitting it off after the Yams Day concert and were rumored to have shared a hotel suite later that evening. Speculation started that RiRi had moved to dating the rapper shortly just after the end of her three-year relationship with Saudi billionaire, Hassan Jameel. However, a source told E! News that Rihanna is “single” and that her and Rocky are just “good friends.” 

Now that you’re all caught up, you’ll understand why Rihanna and Rocky being spotted at the same nightclub on Tuesday morning (Feb. 11) may raise some eyebrows. According to TMZ, the Barbadian babe stepped in to The Nice Guy in West Hollywood just before 1 AM, while the Babushka Boi showed up just after 2 AM. Footage shows Rocky sneaking in the club’s entrance with his head down. While he may have been hiding under his hood to avoid the blinding flash of cameras, an alternative explanation is that he was trying to prevent the dating rumors from reigniting. E! News‘ source did say that Ri’s “hanging out” with Rocky and “just having fun”, so there is still a possibility that these meetups escalate into something more.
