On Monday morning, the Kylie Cosmetics founder woke up to a literal houseful of red roses. As she walked into the foyer of the stylish home, the makeup mogul stepped onto a bed of rose petals that covered the floor. On a note the 21-year-old  shared  with her followers, it read, "Happy birthday!!! We're just getting started."  J'Adore Les Fleurs tells E! News that because of the size of the space, the rose petals in the video would cost approximately $25,000.  It's unclear who enjoyed the luxurious gift more, Kylie or her daughter,  Stormi Webster ? In videos of Kylie marveling over the thousands of petals, little Stormi is seen playing in the background. At one point she throws a handful of petals into the air and watches as they shower down. ...

BY  KYLE ZEEMAN Tshepo bareetseng blog AKA has bulldozed into the debate over South Africa and Nigerian music, telling his rivals and fans who think Nigeria is better to fix their lives. The rapper, who is no stranger to the odd Twitter rant, called a Twitter general assembly on Monday evening to address those who claimed Nigeria was better for artists and wished they were from that country.  " You wish you were what?! F*ck outta here, bruv!  South Africa is a f*cking miracle, and being South African is a f*cking honor and a privilege. Don’t let anyone ever tell you any other nonsense!  Don’t ever be shy about being proud of your country. That is what we can learn from Nigeria!" His comments came just hours after his rival Cassper Nyovest told a Nigerian fan that he sometimes wished he was Nigerian because of the support he would get from the country. "Won't even lie. I wish I was from Nigeria too. The love they have for their own artists. The way the...

Rapper Emtee has addressed the circumstances around his dramatic collapse on stage in July, claiming he was suffering from exhaustion and that he was “played” by being so open about the addictions his critics blamed for the fall. Emtee recently returned to the spotlight after a near month-long recovery break in Bloemfontein. He had gone to ground after a video of him “collapsing” on stage during a performance went viral. The fiasco also led to calls for the rapper to get professional help amidst alcohol and drug abuse allegations. Speaking about the fall on Metro FM Emtee claimed he was exhausted and disorientated prior to the performance and had expected something like that to happen sooner or later. “It was confusing because I had just woken up from a long drive from Joburg to Limpopo and immediately I was jumping on stage. A lot of things were already confusing me. I think I was overwhelmed. I was tired. The fall came from being pulled by the people....

By Tshepo Bareetseng Entertainment, Local, Music, News, Breaking News LinkAge is the name. A passionate 22 year old from Braamfischerville Phase 1 is set to release his Mixtape named ‘Known Stranger’. LinkAge who was formally known as Trigger says he realised in early 2016 that music to him, was no longer a dream, was rather a calling. It’s something he has to do, face it and deal with it. LinkAge is set to release a Ten-track mixtape which he named “Known Stranger”, because people know his music but don’t really know him as an Artist in the Hip-hop industry. “I am a stranger, but I’m known, they know my songs, but they don’t know who I am”, LinkAge added. He says he used to download Free-Type–Beats on the internet to record, hence why he couldn’t release the music on digital platforms, because it was not original, even though he had abilities of manipulating Free-Type-Beats and wrote every lyric on the tracks, ...

2 Chainz “Bigger Than You” [ft. Drake & Quavo] “Bigger Than You,” 2 Chainz’s new one-off single with Quavo and Drake, begins modestly: Quavo sounds plugged in but uninspired, and the beat thumps half-heartedly. Then 2 Chainz saunters up, offering, "Chain so big, shoulda came with a kickstand,” and yes, now we’re listening. He can still stop a rote rap song in its tracks like he’s lunging for closing elevator doors, and this far into his best-guest-rapper-alive dominance, it's tempting to start thinking of him as the best: He has kept his spirit antic and imagination vivid longer than, say, previous holders of this crown, Luda or Nicki. On “Bigger Than You,” he towers genially over Quavo as well as Drake, who rattles off a few decent lines about nothing much and, perhaps studiously, about no one in particular—he briefly remembers a woman who made fun of his singing but otherwise sinks into the background as 2 Chainz...

“Touch My Blood”, says AKA It’s been an exciting journey for AKA. Signing deals like never before, he now considers himself a ‘living legend’. Today he released his “final” album Touch My Blood. The album has been causing chaos on the net before even being released. The Super Mega held an exclusive listening session at the private location for the album. ‘The music on the project is quite impressive’, said Tweezy on Twitter who attended the event. It’s been a ‘musical year’ so far. June alone has seen few albums out from the people’s favourites such as Nas, Joe, Kanye West and South Africa’s own A-Reece. AKA waited years and that got the people talking about him. He kept the consistency and stayed true to himself. Now he has come back and blessed his fans with a ‘masterpiece’. With the track list and a few songs already revealed through pre-order on iTunes, according to SliqueOnLife, th...

The Atlanta rapper Lil Baby is the latest in a string of recent Drake endorsements that also includes BlocBoy JB and Octavian. Baby isn’t as exciting a prospect as either of those artists, but he does seem poised for a breakthrough. His collaboration with Drake, “Yes Indeed” (formerly known as “ Pikachu”), unfortunately splits the difference between dispassionate and marble-mouthed, but there are still quotables hidden in their sharply pivoting verses. “Yes Indeed” is produced by Wheezy, and so Drake connects the dots to the Weezy that made him , reflecting on his rap origins with string of muttered run-ons that hardly seem to break. “When I started out, I just took what they gave me/Did all the favors, they never repaid me/It worked in my favor, ‘cause nobody saved me,” he murmurs. In a roundabout way, the verse—and to a greater extent the song—is Drake coaching up rookies like Lil Baby, all while acknowledging th...

DJ Zinhle has often spoken about how reading empowers her and helps her grow as an individual. And now she’s giving back and will be releasing her own motivational book aimed at African women. Called Meeting Your Power, Zinhle told Dennis Ngango the book will be released on June 1.She said that the idea is to help women. “It’s written with the understanding of the African and South African voice – the African women and what she goes through.” Zinhle said she believes in helping other people and this is her way of giving back. “If helping other people doesn’t take anything away from you, you should definitely do it. If I’m given the opportunity to help people and I can, it’s a great investment. Even for myself, because it helps me grow.” Zinhle said that she often reads to balance herself and get away from the noise. She said that it helps her to get a different perspective and she hopes to do the same.
