Jeremih Arrested for Disorderly Conduct After Missing Flight

Jeremiah had a stressful travel day. The R&B singer was reportedly arrested at Newark airport while trying to catch a flight on Friday (Dec. 12).


According to NBC New York, the ‘Don’t Tell ‘Em’ singer was trying to board a plane to Phoenix, Ariz., after the jet’s doors were already closed and locked. A member of Jeremih’s entourage then proceeded to open the closed jetway door to let the singer and another man in, which is against the airport’s boarding rules.


The crooner, and his associate, were subsequently arrested and charged for disorderly conduct and obstruction, Port Authority police said. Dontate Cunningham, the man who allegedly opened the door for Jeremih, was also arrested and charged with defiant trespass.


NBC New York reports that the trio are expected to be release barring any outstanding warrants.


If this is true, Jeremih might get detained because a warrant reportedly was issued for the singer in Billings, Mont., over the $700 in damage he allegedly caused at a Fuddruckers restaurant back in November.


So, yeah, Jeremih is really having a bad today.

Sneaker of the Week: Social Status x New Balance 1300 'Winter in the Hamptons'

Social Status

Hitting the Hamptons seems to be a summer phenomenon but Social Status has decided to explore just what it is to spend the winter there. The Pittsburgh boutique has done this via the upper of a New Balance 1600 and turned around a theme so thorough that we couldn’t help but make it our Sneaker of The Week.


The Hamptons isn’t just a locale, it’s a lifestyle and this shoe has several aspects in mind in its design. The leather details are on deck to represent luxury yachts while the hits of teal are meant to give off an oceanic feel. This is all tied together by the use of dark denim, which not only represents coastal winters but also serves as a reminder of Social Status’ history as a denim brand.


Look for them to release to Social Status on Dec 13 for $165, which is far cheaper than an actual trip to the Hamptons.

Gunplay Is Changing His Name on New Year's Day

YouTube

Maybach Music Group rapper Gunplay is taking New Year’s resolutions to another level.


When the clock strikes 12 on Jan. 1, 2015, Gunplay will be a memory of the past as the rapper announced via Twitter that he will change his name to “Don Logan” on New Year’s Day.


The move comes as nationwide demonstrations and die-ins are being held in protest of the grand injury decisions in both the Eric Garner and Mike Brown murder cases. We are not sure if the protest influenced the ‘Pyrex’ rapper to change his name to the more marketable Don Logan, but he isn’t the first rapper to do it.


In fact, Lil Boosie just switched up his name to Boosie Badazz.


Gunplay’s debut album, ‘Living Legend,’ is scheduled to drop in 2015.

adidas Consortium Superstar 'Made in France'

Wish

The adidas Superstar is on the cusp of a pretty big birthday as it looks to turn 45 years old next year. Of course, adidas won’t be letting this silhouette’s celebration slip by and they are looking to give the model a limited edition release courtesy of adidas Consortium.


Here’s a look at the adidas Consortium Superstar ‘Made in France’ pair, which goes for a super simple feel thanks to a very tame colorway.


The white leather with black accents on the stripes don’t make them an attention-grabber, however, the premium leather build, the soft leather lining and the ivory-colored toe box are all the flash this shoe needs.


These are set to release to very select adidas Originals retailers today (Dec. 12), including Wish in Atlanta.

Jhene Aiko Plays a Seductress in New 'Wading' Video


Jhene Aiko ramps up the sexiness in her new video for ‘Wading,’ off her critically acclaimed album, ‘Souled Out.’


Most of the visuals are colored with a red tint as the 26-year-old songbird sports a skimpy black leotard with knee high boots. In the clip, Aiko slithers against a wall giving seductive glances to her male love interest.


The whole video takes place in a spacious lounge and everyone is enjoying themselves until a man tries to put something in her drink. From there, another gentlemen comes to her defense, which starts an epic kung fu battle. Meanwhile, Aiko stands back and watches the fight in amazement.


Currently, the Los Angeles native is on her ‘Enter The Void’ tour, where she’ll hit Phoenix, Az., on Saturday (Dec. 13) and then Toronto, Ontario on Dec. 18. The trek wraps up on Dec. 21 at the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis.

R. Kelly and Shawnna Tell Haters to 'Back Up' On New Single


R. Kelly Back UpAudiomack When haters are getting to close there’s only one thing to tell them. R. Kelly and Shawnna, formally of Ludacris’ Disturbing the Peace crew, have teamed up to keep the naysayers in check on ‘Back Up.’


On the song, the Chi-Town crooner, who has a pocket full of cash, strolls through the strip club ready to spend money and dares anyone who isn’t spending any bank notes to come near him. The Pied Piper dabbles between soulful singer and rapper as he opens up the track with a hate-repelling bars.


“But I ain’t trying to brag tho / Haters move too slow / Y’all better step it up,” he rhymes.


Meanwhile, he goes back to R. Kelly mode and sings on the chorus, but its nothing like the old ballads we are used to from him.


R. Kelly announced earlier this year that he was recording a house album but that might be delayed. So while we wait for his project, take a listen to this song below.

Jimmy Fallon, Steve Carell Add a Funny Twist to Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing' [VIDEO]


How do you take to sexiness out of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing?’ Have the song covered by a barbershop quartet (plus one) starring Jimmy Fallon and Steve Carell.


On Wednesday night (Dec. 10), Carell and Fallon teamed up with comedy writers Anthony David Miles, Tom Shillue and Chris Tartaro to form the Rag Time Gals on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’ The singing group, which were pretty much in harmony and sounded relatively good, gave their best acapella rendition of the late Gaye classic.


The performance brought the laughs, of course, and funnymen Carell and Fallon were spot-on and hilarious delivering their solos of come-hither lines.

Sam Smith Gives Us a Tour of New York City in 'Like I Can' Video


Although Sam Smith might originally hail from the U.K., he has come to New York so much that it’s like a second home for him. And Smith shows off his “other hometown” in his latest video, ‘Like I Can.’


Carrying the same swagger as the Rat Pack, the Grammy-nominated crooner and his friends stroll around the Big Apple — from walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to grabbing a bite at a local pizza restaurant where they listened to the owner tell stories of the city’s past. Perhaps the cutest part of the clip was the little dance and serenading break in some alleyway where you really get to see Smith get at those top notes.


Filmed in black and white, you get the classic vibe that Smith always gives off while showing how much fun he likes to have in a city that he’s grown to love.


While we’ve gotten used to his ballad-belting ways, the ‘Stay With Me’ singer proves that he can get us toe-tapping in this mid-tempo R&B track.


Of course, in Smith fashion, the song dives into matters of the heart where he sings about being the best guy to love to the object of his affection.


Sam Smith has had a great year with the success of his debut album, ‘In the Lonely Hour,’ which has sold three million worldwide, as well as nabbing multiple nominations for the 2015 Grammy Awards.

Pusha T x adidas Originals EQT Running Guidance 93

GQ

Looks like the entire G.O.O.D. Music family is running through the adidas campus and leaving a trail of fresh silhouettes behind. The next up to bat is Pusha T and for his drop he chose to leave his stamp on a dope running shoe — the adidas Originals EQT Running Guidance 93.


When we say “dope” we mean that King Push let his ‘Grindin’‘ days influence the pair by layering the sneaker with a coke white upper with cracked leather and fishscales. The opulence is palpable, as he’s crafted a pair that deserves to be on display as much as it does on foot. These are raw and uncut but you won’t have a choice when it comes to stepping on them unless you plan to leave them dead stocked for a while.


Look for Pusha T’s adidas Originals EQT Running Guidance 93 to release on Dec. 23 for $200 and depending on how limited they are, this could be a very easy flip. If you do resell them we’re sure that Pusha T would be proud.

Rihanna Hosts First Annual Diamond Ball Event [PHOTOS]


Rihanna always looks great on the red carpet, and she looked fabulous at her 1st annual Diamond Ball event, which took place at The Vineyard in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Thursday night (Dec. 11).


After announcing the event in November, RiRi welcomed stars like Kim Kardashian, Jimmy Kimmel and Salma Hayek to the charity shindig.


Rihanna looked stunning in a crimson Zac Posen off-the-shoulder full-length gown with a sweetheart neckline. Later, the ‘Stay’ singer changed into a midnight blue Zac Posen ball gown and performed a medley of her hits, including ‘Diamonds,’ ‘Pour It Up,’ ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Run This Town,’ with a live orchestra.


Detroit rhymer Big Sean closed out the event with ‘Clique’ and even performed his kiss-off anthem, ‘IDFWU’ as guests sang along.


The Diamond Ball benefits The Clara Lionel Foundation, which she founded in 2012 on behalf of her grandparents, to improve the quality of life in health, education, arts and culture in communities around the world. And perhaps the sweetest moment was seeing Rihanna walk in arm-in-arm with her grandfather, Lionel Braithwaite.


Check out the gallery above as well as her Instagram posts and performances below to see how the event unfolded.

Rick Ross and K. Michelle Perform 'If They Knew' on 'The Tonight Show'


Rick Ross and K. Michelle have great chemistry, which was apparent when they performed ‘If They Knew’ on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on Thursday night (Dec. 11). The dynamic duo grinded and flirted with each other throughout much of their sizzling hot performance.


Rozay, who looks slimmer than ever before, rocked a bright red MMG jacket, torn jeans and a white T-shirt with plenty of jewelry. K. Michelle was looking lovely in a sexy black-and-white outfit that surely got the attention of the men in the audience.


Backed by The Roots, along with a hype-man and DJ, Ross delivered his rhymes flawlessly, as his voice cut straight through the live instruments with great clarity. Somehow, despite the weight loss, he’s retained that booming, husky voice that’s made him famous.


‘If They Knew’ appears on Ross’s seventh studio album, ‘Hood Billionaire,’ which dropped late last month.

Big Daddy Kane x British Walkers 'BDK Limited' [VIDEO]


If you’ve never heard of British Walkers then you are either too young to be in the know or simply aren’t a Big Daddy Kane fan. The legendary rhymer was an avid supporter of the shoe and it looks like things are coming full circle as he’s getting a limited edition drop with them.


BDK is a style icon as well, which makes this a no-brainer for the B Walker brand. Kane chose to go with an all-black pair that uses patent and grain leather for tonality. There’s also a grey and pink pair that is a bit flashier than its dark counterpart. Plus, the crepe outsole takes the shoe to another level.


The Big Daddy Kane x British Walkers ‘BDK Limited’ is set for release on Dec. 15 and limited to 500 numbered and authenticated pairs.


If you want to see Kane warm it up in a pair of his own British Walkers, there will be a launch party for the collaboration in New York at Santos Party House on Friday (Dec 12).

Beyonce Talks Fame and Family in Short Film 'Yours and Mine'


It’s been almost a year since Beyonce dropped her self-titled album, so to celebrate she released a short film called ‘Yours and Mine.’ The movie features Queen Bey speaking about men and women relationships, the love of her family and feminism, among other things.


The R&B superstar narrates the black-and-white retrospective, which shows unseen footage from recent videos and a slew of artsy shots.


In one segment, she talks about the pressures of fame.


“When you’re famous no one looks at you like a human anymore,” says the singer in her husky voice. “You become a property of the public. There’s nothing real about it. You can’t put your finger on who I am. I can’t put my finger on who I am. I am complicated.”


Bey also talks about being able to embrace conflict in her adult years, while trying not to be a people pleaser, like she was in her younger years. There’s also brief shots of her hubby, Jay Z, and their cute daughter Blue Ivy. In a tender moment, Beyonce explains how much both of them mean to her.


The ’7/11′ singer also says that she doesn’t believe marriage robs you of your individuality and it’s nice to have a witness to your successes and failures.


There’s no doubt that the Beyhive will be thrilled to have a little more insight on their favorite artist, as Beyonce does a good job of keeping people entertained while revealing more and more about herself.
