While many were elated to learn Rihanna‘s long-awaited return to music would come as headliner of the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, there was one critics who made headlines for suggesting he was among those who were a bit less excited: sports journalist Stephen A. Smith.

As reported here, the award-winning sportscaster won a seat on the sh*tlist of Rih’s fan base (affectionately called the #Navy) after taking to ‘Sherri‘ last year to assert the Bajan diva paled in comparison to the performance prowess of Beyonce.

Reflecting on the fallout of those stinging comments, Smith took to the ‘Connect the Dots‘ podcast recently to share how his statement not only landed him in hot water with entertainment industry friends but even with Bey’s husband – the legendary rapper/music mogul JAY-Z.

Less than a week after releasing ‘Himothy,’ his first solo track of 2024, Quavo unveiled the cut’s official video.

The first taste of new music he has lifted to digital shelves since the modest reception of his sophomore solo album, 2023’s ‘Rocket Power,’ the ‘Himothy’ visual sees the rapper rep his hometown of Atlanta hard as he stands proud atop the city’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“In the same breath, I can show ’em how to scam American Express/ I’m tired of you talkin’ ’bout him, please, let my nephew rest/ Since ain’t nobody doin’ nothin’, sh*t, f**k it, all of ’em gettin’ pressed/ Shut it down, baby shut it down, Huncho, shut it down, it’s a mess,” he spits on the Budda Beats-produced cut.
