As the world continues to fight the power, Jhené Aiko took a brief break from protesting injustice to celebrate her daughter’s recent accomplishments. Jhené went to Instagram to share photos of 11-year-old Namiko Browner, a child that the singer shares with O’Ryan Browner, brother to Omarion. “My baby graduated from the 6th grade today ? Congratulations Nami Love ❤️,” Jhené Aiko penned in the caption to a baby photo of Namiko.

We’ve watched as thousands of schools have curbed their graduation ceremonies for students due to COVID-19. The pandemic’s at-home orders may be lifted soon, but the Class of 2020 still missed out on celebrating their big days with alongside their friends in-person. It looks as if Namiko still had a wonderful day with her family, and we’re sure that once it’s safer, the pre-teen will celebrate in style.

“Congratulations Namiko and everyone else who is graduating ? never ever stop learning!! continue to evolve and grow!! you are essential!!” Jhené Aiko wrote. “Don’t you ever let anyone or anything make you think otherwise??i am inspired and so proud of all of you ? Congratulations class of 2020 !! ?????? (Namiko had her from 6th grade CULMINATION today… her school was Kindergarten through 6th grade, meaning she’s on her way to middle school ?).” Check it out below.

Ahead of the release of husband John Legend’s seventh studio album Bigger Love, Chrissy Teigen has been dropping snippets of the new album all over her social media with some of her honest opinions on the tracks. 

The hilarious television personality shared the initial leaks from Bigger Love  an Instagram video, which she captioned, "currently leaking john's album on my stories. out June 19th. or free when I get mad enough."

The 34-year-old model then took to her very active Twitter account to share some 10 seconds clips of her favorite songs from the album and her feelings about the new tunes. The mom of two shared that she wasn’t particularly fond of a lyric where John sings, “You know there’s a lot of women tryin to take your place,” to which Chrissy responded, “b**** what the fuck?” The R&B crooner responded to his wife, saying he’s only got eyes for her. The couple is known for their lighthearted Twitter exchanges. Teigen also confirmed an exciting duet with Jhene Aiko and Legend on the album. Check out the tweets below. 

Yaya Mayweather is currently under investigation for allegedly stabbing Lapattra Jacobs, one of her boyfriend Youngboy Never Broke Again‘s baby mamas. The strange love triangle attack has Mayweather facing life in prison and, as we wait for more updates on her legal status, the 20-year-old is sharing boo’d up pictures with her rapper beau.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Yaya Mayweather posted a new photo of her and Youngboy Never Broke Again, confirming that they’re still together and choosing a strange song to showcase at the top.

The photo was accompanied by one of Summer Walker‘s tracks from her debut album. Her collaboration with Jhené Aiko, titled “I’ll Kill You”, is actually a beautiful love song. However, the title of the song is a little questionable for somebody in Yaya Mayweather’s position to be sharing on the internet. After all, she did just allegedly threaten the life of Lapattra Jacobs, leaving her paralyzed in one of her arms. She probably doesn’t want to be sharing songs with titles that seem like murder threats…

Are you surprised that Yaya and Youngboy have made it this far or do you think they’re the real deal? Are we looking at the next Ike and Tina?

A few days ago, Jhene Aiko confirmed that a deluxe edition of her new album Chilombo would be coming by the end of the month. Now, we’ve got an official release date for the updated version — May 22nd. Unfortunately, we don’t have much else to go on regarding potential tracklists or guest appearances, though Aiko herself confirmed there would be a few new faces on deck.

The news arrives by way of an official press release, and the arrival of a deluxe Chilombo further emphasizes the extent of deluxe editions hitting the game at this moment. It seems as if every project has spawned an additional EP, leaving us wondering how the selection process is made to begin with. In any case, Chilombo has been praised as one of the year’s best R&B albums so far, and it should be interesting to see where Aiko goes on the upcoming release.

The original version was released on March 6th and featured guest appearances from Future, Big Sean, Ab-Soul, Miguel, Ty Dolla $ign, Nas, John Legend, and more. Look for the Chilombo Deluxe to arrive on May 22nd, and sound off in the comments with your interest levels. Did you enjoy the original version when it dropped? 

Jhené Aiko's third studio album, Chilombo, is officially getting a deluxe edition that will be in our hands later this month. The dreamy singer took to Twitter on Friday (May 8th) to announce that Chilombo (Deluxe) would be arriving sometime in May. In the same tweet, she also shared the new cover art for the deluxe edition, which shows her facing the camera head-on, rocking some dark eye makeup with black roses styled into her braids. This new artwork is stylistically quite different than the original cover, which possesses a much brighter colour palette and sees a bare-faced Jhené angling away from the camera.

Though many artists have chosen to delay the release of their projects due to the coronavirus pandemic, thankfully, others have chosen to stay on track with their planned release dates. For those who’ve been hoping for a new album from Kehlani, she’ll be blessing us with It Was Good Until It Wasn’t this Friday.

Ahead of its release, the R&B star shared the tracklist for the project which includes appearances from some heavy hitters in the game. Tory Lanez shows up for “Can I,” Jhene Aiko links up with Kehlani on “Change Your Life,” and James Blake shows face on “Grieving.” In addition to that, she’s tapped a few other favorites for some assistance such as Lucky Daye and Masego. There’s also a “Real Hot Girl Skit” on the tracklist which would seem like a strong indication Megan Thee Stallion‘s voice might pop up somewhere. It’s even more promising since they do have a rapport with Kehlani’s appearance on “Hit My Line” off of Suga.

Check out the tracklist below.

Jhené Aiko and H.E.R. joined the myriad of artists that performed on BET's COVID-19 relief special, "SOS: Saving Our Selves," on Wednesday by doing an acoustic rendition of their collaboration, "B.S." off Jhené's latest album, CHILOMBO. BET held the virtual event in an effort to raise money for their COVID-19 Relief Fund. The star-studded evening, hosted by Regina Hall, Kelly Rowland, Terrence J, and Anthony Anderson, included appearances from tons of celebrities, including Halle Berry, Usher, John Legend, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, Charlie Wilson, D-Nice, Ciara, Tiffany Haddish, and more. Some attendees, like John Legend, also provided some musical stylings. Among this herd were Jhené and H.E.R., who showed up to the live streamed event ready to provide some from-home entertainment to the masses.

With her guitar in tow, H.E.R. strummed along while Jhené sang, until it was her turn to show off her vocals. The two songstresses managed to turn their respective homes into a modest stage of its own with the stripped down version of the song. Catch Jhené and H.E.R.'s full performance of "B.S." below:

The-Dream‘s new album, SXTP4, along with offerings from Kehlani, Kelly Rowland, and dvsn have our “R&B Season” playlist looking hot as hell. It’s been a minute now since we started curating our “R&B Season” playlist on Spotify in order to round up today’s best R&B offerings for our wonderful audience, and this week we were blessed with some exceptionally good content. The-Dream delivered a 13-track collection of sultry slow jams in the form of SXTP4 on Friday. A major highlight on the project is the Jhené-Aiko-featured “Wee Hours,” which you’ll find amidst our selections alongside three other joints off the mood-setting album.

Kehlani also came through with a quarantine treat, dropping off her single, “Everybody Business” on Thursday. The singer let us all know that she’s well aware of all the sh*t people talk about her romantic history, but she’s trying to not let it get to her. Ms. Kelly Rowland made a mini comeback this week with her new track, “Coffee,” a fun-filled ode to morning sex and caffeine. Of course, dvsn released their latest project, A Muse In Her Feelings, on Friday, and you’ll be sure to find one of their new joints on our “R&B Season” playlist as well. Check out all the latest additions and be sure to follow our other specially-curated playlists.

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko may be hearing wedding bells soon, after the rapper told his on-and-off girlfriend that he's planning on proposing to her soon. Sean and Jhené's relationship has been a point of discussion for quite some time now, ever since they broke things off last March. It almost felt like the two of them never even split, since they were featuring on each other's songs and posting photos together despite claiming to be broken up.

Although they never officially confirmed it, it's been widely assumed that the two of them have been back on since the holidays, and now, it looks like they may be committing to each other for good. The notorious couple hopped on a joint Instagram live session on Wednesday, where they shamelessly flirted with each other for the world to see.

21 Savage had a solo karaoke party over Instagram live on Sunday, belting out some absolute R&B classics from artists like Beyoncé, Usher, Aaliyah, and many more. The coronavirus quarantine has many people jumping on IG live to keep themselves and their followers entertained, and 21 Savage definitely knows what his audience wants to see. The rapper did not hold back one bit while he showed off his impressive repertoire of R&B hits from over the years. Included in this collection are Beyoncé's "Me, Myself & I" as well as Destiny's Child's "Cater 2 U," and you don't want to miss his emotional rendition of Usher's "Burn." Check out all the different songs he tackled from artists like Brandy, Chris Brown, and Pharrell, and prepare to be blown away.
