Streamed live on Instagram, YouTube, and later, Triller, the Swizz Beatz & Timbaland-curated virtual phenomenon has paired some of Hip Hop & R&B’s most prized performers in a hit-for-hit duel to celebrate their legacies and respective discographies.

If “are they or aren’t they” was the question on everyone’s lips about Gunna and Chloe Bailey, the pair may have revealed the answer in the music video for their new single, ‘You & Me.’

Released Valentine’s Day, the tune – which is found aboard the rapper’s latest #1 album ‘DS4EVER’ – was given the visual treatment under the direction of Spike Jordan.

“Don’t listen to what people say / They don’t know about, ’bout you and me / Put it out your mind ’cause it’s jealousy / They don’t know about this here,” Gunna says in the intro – a nod to Jon B.‘s signature 1998 hit ‘They Don’t Know.’

Nick Cannon may soon be welcoming his eighth child with his fifth baby mama (as we reported here), but his first – Pop icon Mariah Carey – seems to still have a special place in his heart.

Iteration of that came Valentine’s Day when the rapper-actor-talk show host dropped his new single, ‘Alone,’ in tribute to the GRAMMY-winning diva.

Over a sample of her 1990 #1 hit ‘Love Takes Time,’ Nick made clear he wants that old thang back.

“I say I’m cool when I know I miss it / I’d trade it all for the case / If I could have you back / If I could go back to where we started at,” he shares on the heart-tugging tune.
