Tyrese is no stranger to headlines and his performance of the US National Anthem tonight (August 11) at the Los Angeles Rams v Dallas Rams game will ensure he’s the center of many more.

The singer-actor was tapped to kick off the football game with ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ and he made certain that his rendition was…unique.

Rocking a new look, the star delivered a take on the song much slower in tempo and one that saw him briefly pause to encourage audience participation. It’s a must-see.

Social media quickly dissected the showing. Some applauded, while others voiced their distraction at Tyrese’s new look. Most, however, appeared perplexed by the arrangement.

Kehlani has been a firm fixture in headlines this week and her spell in the spotlight for drama doesn’t look like it’ll be dimming any time soon.

The ‘After Hours’ singer’s ex Javaughn Young-White filed for primary custody of their five-year-old Adeya Nomi – claiming that Kehlani’s alleged affiliation with a cult leader was a risk to the youngster. A claim the star denied in earnest.

Then, in a dramatic twist, Young-White retracted the filing and remarks, stressing that he “regrets” both.

Now, with that matter seemingly in rearview, Kehlani issued a statement – this time after a fallout with a former friend named “Kayla’ spilled online.

Drake ended his relative music drought this week with the unique drop of ‘100 GIGS.’

Aptly titled due to the size of the folder (100 gigabytes), the material comprised both audio and visual content that had never been released before; ranging from new songs to rare studio moments.

Initially housed at a web destination where the 100 GIGS could be downloaded, Drizzy has rolled out the fresh tracks on streaming services.

Serving as a three-pack EP, the songs include ‘It’s Up (featuring 21 Savage and Young Thug),’ ‘Blue Green Red,’ and the Latto-assisted ‘Housekeeping Knows.’ The latter of which we’ve had on repeat here at That Grape Juice.

All arrive on the heels of Drake’s headline-grabbing feud with Kendrick Lamar; a multi-song spar that spawned K.Dot’s chart-topper ‘Not Like Us.’

After seemingly leaving the drama in the rearview, the Canadian star is driving onto pastures new.
