The Weeknd “Save Your Tears,” Last Days & Benny The Butcher “Tradition” & More | Daily Visuals 1.5.21
Source: NBC / Getty For the past year The Weeknd’s been on walking around with a bloodied up and bandaged face to demonstrate, well, we’re not entirely sure. But today the wraps have come off and we kinda wish they actually didn’t. For his newest visuals to “Save Your Tears,” The Weeknd unveils a brand new look in which he boasts a swollen up grill that looks like he just underwent the Kylie Jenner special or something. We guess this will be his 2021 gimmick going forward.

Flying Lotus Reveals He and MF DOOM Had Collaborative EP in the Works
Flying Lotus has revealed that he and the late MF DOOM were in the process of writing a new EP. Since the iconic rapper’s tragic death at the end of 2020, Flying Lotus has been vocal in celebrating his legacy. The two artists were frequent collaborators over the years, and together they minted a handful of fan-favorite tracks, including “Between Friends & Enemies” and “Lunch Break.” Understandably, Flying Lotus wasn’t intending to go out of his way to reveal there was something bigger in the works. But when he was engaged by one fan on Twitter who wished for a long-form collaborative project from the two artists, he let the secret slip. “I hate to say this but we were actually working on an EP,” FlyLo wrote. “The...
Eminem Pins Offensive Rihanna Lyric Jab On Learning How To Rap Again After Overdose
Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN Eminem has always lived on the edge when it came to his lyrics, with his unsuspecting targets often blindsided by the barbs. After apologizing for one such offensive jab at Rihanna that he’s since apologized for, Slim Shady says that the R&B singer’s name drop was due to him learning how to rhyme words again. In a talk with SiriusXM’s Gray Rizzy, Eminem explained that the lyrics aimed at the Barbadian superstar were recorded during the early sessions for the Relapse album and that he isn’t sure how the verse got out to the public. “It was pretty recently that that verse had leaked and, honest to God, I told Paul [Rosenberg] when it first happened I was like first I didn’t know how somebody got it,” Eminem began. “I have no, zero recollection of ev...

The 2021 Grammy Awards have been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, according to a report by Rolling Stone.

2021 Bentley Bentayga Hybrid First Look: Plug Into Quiet Luxury
As its name implies, the Bentayga Hybrid trades the V-8 engine of the run-of-the-mill Bentayga for a gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid powertrain made up of a V-6 engine and electric motor. The basic recipe of the 2021 Bentayga Hybrid remains the same as its 2020 counterpart, with a forced induction V-6 engine and an electric motor producing a combined peak output of 443 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission channels that grunt to all four wheels courtesy of the SUV’s standard all-wheel-drive system.

Berlin’s Terri Nunn Apologizes for Performing at Mar-a-Lago NYE Party
“The contract stated it was a small Covid-safe event for the members of Mar-a-Lago,” she explained. “Unfortunately it was not Covid-safe anywhere in Florida. I had no idea masks and social distancing were not required. I thought I was current on all Covid news everywhere, but clearly I was not. I was shocked by Florida and Mar-a-Lago’s lack of regard for the pandemic and if I’d known I would never have gone. Once I fulfilled my contractual obligation, I left the event as quickly as I could. It is a mistake I regret.” After revealing that her recent coronavirus test came back negative, she concluded with a message to her LGBTQ+ fans, who felt betrayed, especially since Nunn often performs at Pride festivals. “My apologies to those in the LGBTQ commu...
