Lil Yachty has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against NFT seller Opulous.

Fenty Baby is on the way! Rihanna and A$AP Rocky broke the Internet Monday (Jan. 31) after photos surfaced of the couple out and about in a blistery NYC — with the “Love on the Brain” singer’s bare baby bump on full display.

Which means, yes, Billboard underwent the (extremely productive) task of going through every song from RiRi’s discography to count every appearance of “baby” across her eight solo albums. Because we needed to know (and thought you might like to know too). Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest vi...
