Trey Songz's Rumored Boo Mila J Sparks Pregnancy Rumors With Pic
Gorgeous songbird Mila J took to Instagram last night to share pictures of her Thanksgiving, including one showing her usually toned abs protruding to the point where many followers began speculating that she was pregnant.
Tinashe Performs 'Pretend' and '2 On' at 2014 Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
Tinashe has been pretty consistent with her high-energy performances: ‘Wendy Williams,’ ‘Jimmy Kimmel‘ and ‘Fashion Rocks‘ 2014 to name a few. That streak continued at the Soul Train Awards Sunday night (Nov. 30).
The ‘Aquarius’ creator first took the stage by herself, sporting a leather jacket and a red top to perform ‘Pretend.’ Her skills as an entertainer took over as she broke into dance by the end of the song.
She then brought her set to a close with ’2 On’ sans ScHoolboy Q, and a party ensued on stage. It’s a small reminder of the many moments the song inspired throughout the summer of 2014.
KEM and Ledisi Perform 'Love Calls' at 2014 Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
People who were around in 2002 and would watch the Soul Train Awards tend to like songs like ‘Love Calls.’ This is no different, especially with the stunning performance singer KEM put on with Ledisi at the awards show Sunday night (Nov. 30).
The duo took the stage together and easily won over the crowd with their unforced chemistry. Sporting a black tuxedo jacket, bow tie and red pants, KEM beamed throughout the performance. He welcomed the songstress, who was dressed all in black, to command the crowd with her powerful vocals.
“If you believe in love, let me hear you say, ‘Yeah!’” KEM encouraged. Of course, the crowd yelled back. ‘Love Calls’ tends to make people (even Mike Tyson) believe.
The song appears on KEM’s debut LP, ‘Kemistry,’ which debuted in 2003.
Chris Brown Performs 'Yo,' 'Poppin,' 'New Flame' and 'Loyal' at 2014 Soul Train Awards [VIDEO]
It seems like eons ago, but in 2006, Chris Brown was a fresh-faced star who was performing ‘Yo’ at the Soul Train Awards. The singer clearly isn’t too far removed from those times since he stepped back on the stage for the awards show to perform a medley of some of his current hits.
After a clip from the old school performance played onscreen, Brown brought it back to perform ‘Yo’ in front of the Las Vegas crowd. The crooner, dressed in a black-and-white hooded sweatshirt and ripped white jeans, also put his supreme dancing skills on display as he moved on to his more recent songs ‘New Flame’ and ‘Loyal.’
Choreography may be a bit of a lost art in R&B these days, but watch Brown temporarily revive the art of footwork above.
Ginuwine to Reunite With Timbaland On New Album [VIDEO]
Ginuwine recently made announcement that will certainly please his hardcore fans. The R&B crooner is reuniting with his longtime producer Timbaland for his next studio album.
Ginuwine went on his Instagram page and announced that he and Timbo are heading back into the studio for his eighth project called ‘Same Ol G,’ which is also the same title of a song from his 1999 album, ’100% Ginuwine.’ The ‘Pony’ singer also posted a video to further confirm the exciting news of their reunion.
Back in the 1990s, Ginuwine and Timbaland created several hit songs together including ‘Pony’ and ‘So Anxious,’ which turn the singer into a R&B heartthrob.
With news of his bankruptcy and impending divorce from his wife Solé becoming fodder for the tabloids, Ginuwine will certainly have plenty of topics to sing about on his new project.
There’s no official release date for Ginuwine’s album as of yet, but we will keep you posted.
Watch the trailer for the LP above.

Watch Lil Pey Pey Turn Up To Drake's 'Tuesday' Verse [VIDEO]
Kids do the darndest things. In the case of three-year-old Lil Pey Pey, she has become an Internet sensation after her Instagram video went viral of her turning up to Drake‘s verse on ILOVEMAKONNE‘s hit ‘Tuesday.’
In the adorable 15-second clip, the young child is eating cereal when she tells whoever is behind the camera to hold her bowl. She then proceeds to roll up her sleeves and turn up to Drizzy’s explicit verse on the ‘Tuesday’ song.
Lil Pey Pey’s video went viral after Rihanna reposted the video on her Instagram page with the caption, “mood.”
Since its Nov. 19 posting, the Pey Pey’s video has garnered over 1 million likes. The clip has also earned major views on both Worldstar Hip-Hop and YouTube channels.
Reactions to the clip have been positive with one person writing, “Too cute,” while another commenter wrote, “LMAO Love This.” There were some people worried about the young girl listening to Drake’s profanity on the song, but it looks like she doesn’t notice the off-color language.
Lil Pey Pey, whose real name is Peyton King-Bittings, has other Instagram videos of her singing Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pills N Potions,’ Young Thug’s ‘Lifestyle’ and doing the Shmoney Dance to Bobby Shmurda’s ‘Hot N—a.’
It’s safe to say that Lil Pey Pey is a little star in the making. Watch her shine in her cute videos.

J. Cole Releases Tracklisting to '2014 Forest Hills Drive'
Roc Nation As J. Cole prepares to release his third album ’2014 Forest Hills Drive,’ the Roc Nation rapper has unveiled the project’s tracklisting.
The collection boasts 13 songs and no guest appearances. Among the titles on the LP include ‘January 28,’ which is his birthday, ‘No Role Modelz’ and ’03 Adolescence.’
As we previously reported, ’2014 Forest Hills Drive’ refers to the address of Cole’s childhood home in Fayetteville, N.C. The rapper bought the home back in June for $121,000 when it was in foreclosure.
“It was validation, it was vindication for them foreclosing this place [on] my mom, and it was also a symbol for me like I know what’s important. You can’t run from home,” he told Complex on why he purchased the property.
Cole says that Fayetteville is one of the places in the world where he feels most comfortable. “When I’m home, I’m either stopping through to visit or I’m doing something for the [Dreamville] Foundation,” he says. “I might get an extra day to see friends and family but then it’s off to the next thing. I’ve never been there long enough to feel comfortable and think, ‘This is home,’ not until I was home doing a cover shoot for the album.”
A couple weeks ago, the ‘Born Sinner’ creator treated one fan in Dallas, TX, to a private listening session of his album. Twitter user Dalia was the first person to hear the project and is now promoting it heavily on her timeline.
As of right now, there is no plans to release an advance single or music video from the album, which drops on Dec. 9. The collection is now available for pre-order on iTunes.

Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Legend Blue' [PHOTOS]
kenlu.netAfter Nike released the Air Jordan XX9 ‘Legend Blue’ on Black Friday, the sneaker giant plans to end the year on a high note and drop one of the most coveted sneaker in the brand’s lineage — the Air Jordan 11 ‘Legend Blue.’
Here’s a little back story on these kicks. The Air Jordan ‘Legend Blue’ was originally called the ‘Columbia’ and first appeared on Michael Jordan’s feet during the 1996 NBA All-Star Game in San Antonio, TX. It was retroed in January 2001 and since then has been the most sought-after sneaker in the AJ collection.
Outside of changing the name from ‘Columbia’ to ‘Legend Blue,’ the shoe is exactly the same as the original version. It features an all-white patent leather upper, mesh tongue, rope laces and the classic icey-blue bottom. Of course, the carolina blue Jumpman is located at the ankle part of the shoe.
The Air Jordan 11 ‘Legend Blue’ will hit Nike.com and its retail stores on Dec. 20 for a hefty price of $200. So start saving your coins now if you haven’t already.

Big Sean Scores Third No. 1 Single With 'I Don't F— With You'
Taylor Hill, Getty ImagesSince being discovered by Kanye West, Big Sean has scored plenty of big hits, and has found a comfortable home on the Billboard charts. And now he’s landed his third No. 1 with ‘I Don’t F— With You on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
According to Billboard, the well-crafted tune, which also features E-40, nabbed 67,000 downloads last week and garnered 2.5 million plays each week on Spotify.
‘IDFWU’ is the Detroit rhymer’s third chart-topper, following his 2012 song ‘Mercy’ and 2011′s ‘Marvin & Chardonnay’ (featuring Kanye West and Roscoe Dash).
And as far as the video for ‘IDFWU,’ Sean says it may be his favorite yet because it has such a strong concept. “I like videos that have themes, you get to have fun with it, you get to play characters,” he said in a HighSnobiety interview.
The ‘My Last’ rhymer also touched on working with E-40 on the cut, and said he was nothing short of honored to have such a legendary rapper work with him.
“He’s a legend, he was one of my favorite rappers growing up,” said the 26-year-old artist. “My older brother used to play his music for me all the time back when I was a shorty…I was like seven years old, eight years old listening to E-40, Tupac, Snoop, and [Notorious] B.I.G.”
But Sean isn’t only focused on music. In an effort to expand his brand, he has linked up with companies like Adidas to put out a sneaker collection, which has increased his popularity even more.
“I’ve done a couple collabs with Adidas, so it was a lot of fun,” he stated. “I always wear the Metro Attitudes and I was always telling them how much I loved them, so they came up with the idea for me to do my own. They came up with some of the creative aspects of the shoe, and of course we then had our own input too. It was a truly collaborative effort.”
As for his next album, Sean says that “it’s way darker than anything I’ve ever done, way harder than any album I’ve ever done.”
“I’m pretty sure you’re going to like this album,” he attests.
