It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen Rihanna drop down at Crop Over Festival in her home of Barbados. Making her return to the annual harvest festival this weekend, RiRi came dressed to impress, but did we expect anything less? Listen to  Rihanna Radio  and more on the free Audacy app Real ones know, this is not Rihanna 's first rodeo Carnival. The undisputed queen of Barbados’ biggest festival, has attended the annual Kadooment Day parade since the early aughts, using her appearances to showcase various designers' daring creations. This year, RiRi teamed up with Lauren Austin Designs, a designer she’s worked with in the past for 2017’s stunning crystal bralette and matching epaulets, that just like this year’s costume, left little to the imagination. In 2019, the last time RiRi attended Crop Over, she switched things up, going with a body obscuring pink mini dress by Dutch designer David LaPort, embellished with pink marabou feathers. This year, swapping out her recently frequent over-sized sporty looks, Rihanna strutted through the parade in a brown and gold bedazzled costume, featuring bejeweled strips snaking up from her ankles to her shoulders, making sure to cover up the essential bits. RiRi accented the traditional carnival ensemble with a matching headpiece and gorgeous orange, pink and neutral colored feathered wings. Making it officially official, the queen of Crop Over is back. Check out pics of this years incredible ensemble below, and previous showstopper costumes above.

Following her headlining performance at Lollapalooza Day 2, SZA took a moment to spotlight the Chicago festival’s MVP of 2024 — Chappell Roan . Listen to  SZA Radio  and more on the free Audacy app “She makes me wanna keep making new music n art forever,” SZA wrote over Chappell’s  post  of the Midwest Princess performing “Femininomenon.” Perfectly on brand for the rising popstar who garnered one of the biggest, if not the biggest crowd the annual festival has ever seen… and doing so not even being a headliner. Despite the inspiration, just one day later, after closing out her headlining set at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival on August 5, SZA revealed she’d be taking a break from stage life for the foreseeable future. Taking to X to make the announcement, SZA wrote,“Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally bout to get my life together thank u God.” The unexpected, yet also unsurprising news comes after SZA’s extensive run of 63 SOS Tour dates all across the globe starting in early 2023, followed by a packed summer festival schedule. That being said, while SZA did admit she’d be stepping back from the stage, new music is still headed our way, as SZA debuted an unreleased track titled “Cry Baby,” during her Lollapalooza set, telling the crowd, “It’s not out, but it will be.” Not to mention she’s been teasing her new project Lana , for a hot minute now. An album that started out as being the deluxe edition of SOS with a few unreleased tracks, but after a few leaks, is now going to be a new stand alone album with “music no one’s ever heard before.”

I had no true sense of self,” Khalid admitted. “I was writing not even from my experiences. I feel like this album is exactly that.

During a recent chat with Audacy Atlanta V-103’s Danie B , Nick Cannon opened up about his struggles with Lupus, detailing his experience with the illness and how he manages to live with it in his everyday life. LISTEN NOW: Danie B Interview With Nick Cannon Cannon was helping out the Social Butterflies Foundation at V-103’s Summer School Volume 1 day party, with the aim of raising $3000 for the organization that helps Lupus warriors with anything from getting fitted for wigs, to getting access to medication and more. Being such a vocal public figure when it comes to Lupus, Danie B expressed her delight to be chatting with Nick , noting “it really means a lot that you took the time to stop and educate us a little bit today.” “It sounds like it's a beautiful event that's going down this weekend, so I commend it and salute everybody that's involved with it,” Nick expressed. Before going on to elaborate on the disease, and his personal struggles with it. “Lupus is an autoimmune condition that I was diagnosed with in 2012. It could attack any part of your body, it’s where your immune system is a little out of whack. Mine specifically, it goes for my kidneys and sometimes my skin. But I know other people, it can go to their heart.” Nick went on to reveal, “it actually affected my heart when I first got it in 2012 and I had like pulmonary embolisms that got real serious. So it's one of those things that you can definitely live with, but it also can be something that can be quite serious.” Cannon continued to elaborate, pointing out that while some “people don’t notice” a person struggling with Lupus, it can be “difficult to get out of bed,” due to suffering from “inflammation and… fatigue.” “So, you just gotta look out for those Lupus warriors and really give them some strong prayers and support because you never know what they're going through.” Staying booked and busy, Nick proves his point, that Lupus is a disease one can live with. From his various business endeavors, to Wild N Out and hosting The Masked Singer , Cannon talked about how staying busy helps. "That’s how I fight my lupus… I just stay busy. I mean, once I can get out that bed, I see it as a blessing. I'm gonna get the most out of today because I remember those days where it wasn't even a possibility for me to get out. And sometimes those days happen, you know, every once in a while, but it keeps my health in check.” Another “thing about lupus,” Nick added, “is that you gotta make sure you're eating right. You gotta make sure you're staying hydrated. You gotta make sure you're doing everything that the doctors or the holistic individuals that are helping you out are telling you, because if you stick to a regiment, you can keep all those flare ups away.” For Nick, it’s important to continuously shine a light on Lupus, so Lupus warriors out there feel like they're not alone, as helps others understand about what this disease is. Speaking to the importance of being vocal, Nick said, “It definitely affects our community specifically... a lot of cases with Black women. So we want to continue to create the awareness so we can find a cure. And just send some love and support to all my fellow lupus warriors out there.” To hear it all, listen to the entire conversation above.

Currently busy being the main character of the 2024 Paris Olympics, other than all the incredible athletes of course, Snoop Dogg called in to catch up with Audacy Atlanta’s The Big Tigger Morning Show . As one of NBC's Special Correspondents at this years games, Snoop talked all about the experience thus far, his so-called "beef" with Simone Biles ’ mom, and more. LISTEN NOW: V-103's The Big Tigger Morning Show: Snoop Dogg After some smooth talking following his intro, Snoop filled the morning show crew in on how it felt carrying the Olympics gold torch, which his obviously had to match his gold Snoop Dogg Sketchers. “I felt like Muhammad Ali… because what I was taught was anytime you were able to be in a position like that you should be representing peace and love. When they handed me the torch, the lady explained to me that anybody who’s ever touched the torch is a peace messenger for the world. So I felt real honored to be recognized like that coming from America, from Long Beach and so many big people they could’ve had to do it. To mention me and say, ‘We want you to do it,’ that made me feel good.” Photo credit Stephane De Sakutin - Pool/Getty Images These days, it seems Snoop has his hand in just about everything, and that’s because he does. When asked how he goes about remaining relevant, Snoop said, “I try to stay true to who I am. Anything and everything that I do… has to be fun to do and has to make funds — F U N D S.”' This year, Snoop has expanded his commentator roll , having previously teamed up with Kevin Hart for the now viral Olympic Highlights review. Talking about his past commentating experiences, Snoop shared, “I’ve been doing it with basketball, boxing…just having fun doing what I do. And I see that they’re actually recognizing that I’m skilled at what I do and that they’re giving me an opportunity to show that skill and to bring something different to the table. I appreciate NBC and the whole Olympic team for giving the opportunity to shine.” As for those silly none serious rumors Snoop and Simone Biles ’ mom have some “beef,” Snoop suggested to drop it like it’s hot, quipping “no, no, no, no, no.” “What had happened was,” Snoop began to explain, “I go to meet her and didn’t know I had met her already. She reminds me, she said, ‘In 2010 we were in New York and asked you for a picture, and you said ‘y’all have two seconds,’ you took the picture and then you left.’ But she showed me the picture, with her, young Simone and all of em’ and it was just beautiful I actually stopped to take a picture with them and for her to show me that’s who she became… it was just a beautiful situation to say I was never too big to run past, even if it was two seconds as long as I did it, that’s all that matters.” Also talking a bit about his experience in Paris thus far, Snoop said, “When I first got here, it was nice and warm, and all of a sudden the night of the ceremony it just started raining… raining hard. Then it got beautiful again, but the rain was beautiful as well, because I’m from California so I like the rain. But overall the people, the hospitality, the security, the way it’s safe. The way countries are mingling with people, it’s just, this is what the world is supposed to look like, all these different countries, races, ethnicities, and everybody getting along.” To close out the conversation, Tigger mentioned to Snoop that some are saying the torch reminded them of something else he would normally have in his hand. Clearly not oblivious, but deciding to act as such, Snoop perfectly responded, “Hmmm… What would that be?” Listen to the entire conversation above.
