Earlier this month, singer and actor, Tyrese, took to social media to put his ex-girlfriend on blast. The entertainer began dating 25-year-old model and influencer, Zelie Timothy, after divorcing his wife, Samantha Gibson in 2020. Things between him and Zelie seemed to be going well until Tyrese posted a lengthy caption accusing her of being a “manipulator” and “snake.”
In response to his allegations, Zelie decided to take the more mature route. “After all this,” she wrote on social media, “you’ve made me know that hell is just earth without you… I want you to know how much I miss you and what you mean to me. I love you.”
While her words were sweet, they didn’t seem to win Tyrese over. Earlier today, the “Sweet Lady” singer threw shots at her again. While promoting his upcoming album, Beautiful Pain, he explained a lesson that he’s learned over the years. “43 year olds shouldn’t try and connect to or relate to 25 year olds,” he wrote.
He compared the age difference to oil and water, saying that the two just don’t mix. Admitting to his faults, he added, “I guess I’m really out here GROWN GROWN and tryna keep up with these youngsters is not my life of my world.” He continued by stating that he never wants Zelie to enter his life again.
“I am very clear about what we had and how the magic of our moment has came and went,” he said referencing their relationship. To conclude his message, he assured his 16 million followers that he will get married again one day.
Lil Shordie Scott’s been on the come up recently. The rapper blew up with his viral single “Rocking A Cardigan In Atlanta,” which was shouted out by Cardi B. Offset then hopped on the track and it now has over 120 million streams.

It’s been a big week for R&B, and our R&B Season playlist has been updated accordingly.
First and foremost, tracks off of Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance take up a whopping four spots on our list. The top slot goes to “Energy,” a track featuring Beam in which Bey samples Big Freedia and Kelis. The track’s made some headline’s already after Kelis had some things to say about her sample. While the “Milkshake” singer might not be happy about the use of her song, it’s hard to deny that “Energy” is a hit.
Next up is “New To You,” a track from Calvin Harris in which the producer taps the talents of Normani, Tinashe, and Offset. Harris explained his approach to collaborations on New Music Daily: “It’s like completely like no pressure. Like, I’ll give you a platform if you’re an artist to go and do this and have a laugh.” This laid-back style certainly pays off on the Scottish DJ’s new single.
Beyoncé returns in our third spot with “Cozy,” a supremely danceable track that’s sure to be a mainstay in clubs for a while. On the track, Bey preaches self love, and advises not to mess with her sister.
“Pro” by Day Sulan is up next on our playlist. The sensual track pays homage to Sulan’s past career as an exotic dancer, and fittingly samples “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper)” by T-Pain.
Rounding out our updates are two more Bey tracks, the other-worldly “Alien Superstar” and No I.D. and The-Dream-produced “Church Girl.”
Check it all out below, and let us know what you think of our update in the comments.
Lil Durk performed at Lollapalooza on Saturday, and things didn’t go according to plan. At one point during his set, Durk walked into two explosions onstage and was struck in the face. He took a few seconds to collect himself, and finished his performance.
Now, however, it looks like Lil Durk was more injured than he let on. In a post to Instagram this morning, Lil Durk said he would be taking some time to get better. The rapper included a picture of his face post-accident in what looks like a medical facility. In the photo, he has a bandage over his right eye.
“Due to the incident that happened at Lollapalooza in Chicago on stage, I’ma take a break & focus on my health,” wrote Durk in his IG post. “I finished my performance yesterday for my fans. Appreciate y’all.” He included a blue heart. In the comments, fans expressed their sympathy for the artist, showering him with well-wishes.
Lil Durk’s set was one of many noteworthy performances that have already taken place at the Chicago festival. Jhené Aiko showed off her baby bump alongside her partner Big Sean. After their set, Big Sean took to Twitter to thank their fans. “Best part of today was seeing our baby in Momma’s belly and you all showing so much love on stage,” he wrote.
Cordae, meanwhile, got attention for an entirely different reason. During his set, he wore a “civil war general” beard that stole the show. Fans were befuddled by the look, and Cordae himself was amused by people’s reactions.
Let’s hope artists stay safe during the final day of the festival.
