Offset took a break from feuding on social media with his soon-to-be ex-wife Cardi B to deliver the cinematic music video for his latest single ‘Swing My Way.’

Accompanied by supermodel Anok Yai as the leading lady, the twosome show off some serious high-end designer jewels, wardrobes, and more when not dashing in and out of Cybertrucks.

“I can ice your arm (Icy) / I can ice your charm (Icy) / I can get you coco, but that photo sent you home (Go home) / I pulled up in SoHo in a robo cybertron (Cyber) / I don’t care what they on, I’m from two fingers and thumb (Hey) / Shawty, swing my way (Shawty),” he raps on the Turbo-produced track.

Katy Perry‘s September-released ‘143‘ album marked a personal milestone when it exited the Billboard 200 after a two-week stay – making it the shortest tenure of any studio effort she’s released yet.

Expectedly featuring its original 11 tracks including singles ‘Lifetimes,’ ‘Woman’s World,’ ‘I’m His, He’s Mine,’ and more, the updated opus boasts new titles ‘Has a Heart,’ ‘No Tears for New Year’s,’ ‘I Woke Up,’ and ‘OK.’

SZA fans may have been bummed by news her long-awaited ‘SOS‘ deluxe album, ‘LANA,’ won’t be flying onto digital shelves until later Friday morning (December 20), but the GRAMMY-winning songstress offered a consolation prize in its place: the official ‘Drive‘ music video.

Starring EMMY-winning comedy veteran Ben Stiller, the cut comes as the latest taste of new music from the eagerly awaited project.

“I been up ’til sunrise, headed to nowhere / Hopin’ that someone’s missin’ me somewhere / Drivin’, just drivin’ / Just tryin’, just tryna get my head right / Then I’ll be better when, when I / When I, just gotta get my head right,” she croons over ThankGod4Cody production.

Lizzo has kept a relatively low profile since being sued by former dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez.

A judge recently dismissed several aspects of the case – with Lizzo, as an individual, no longer part of the litigation.

Sitting down with Keke Palmer, Lizzo turned up the volume on her side of the story.

Waxing candidly, the Houston native fessed to feeling “betrayal” at the hands of the accusers, the media, and to some degree, the public.
