Three of the most influential groups in R&B and hip-hop history will share the stage this summer. TLC and Salt-N-Pepa have announced the 2026 It’s Iconic Tour, their first-ever co-headlining run. Joining them on the road is powerhouse R&B vocal group En Vogue, whose harmonies helped define the same era. The 32-city North American tour launches August 15 at FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee. From there, the show moves through major markets including Toronto, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, before wrapping in October. The tour reads like a live history of Nineties radio. TLC’s set will likely revisit signature hits such as No Scrubs and Waterfalls, records that pushed R&B into new emotional territory. Salt-N-Pepa plan to deliver the party-starting energy of classics including Push It and Shoop. Meanwhile, En Vogue will bring the vocal firepower behind staples like Free Your Mind and Don’t Let Go (Love). TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, & En Vogue Announce “The Iconic Tour” Before the tour begins, the three acts will preview the collaboration on national television. They will perform together during the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26, broadcast by FOX Broadcasting Company at 8 p.m. local time. Ticket access begins March 24 with a pre-sale for Citigroup cardmembers at 10 a.m. local time. Artist pre-sales follow later that day at noon. Select dates will also include a pre-sale through concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment. General ticket sales launch March 26 via Ticketmaster. The It’s Iconic Tour celebrates artists who reshaped the sound and attitude of modern R&B and hip-hop. TLC’s music tackled relationships, health, and independence with rare candor. Salt-N-Pepa carved space for women in rap with humor, swagger, and fearless commentary. En Vogue raised the bar for vocal precision and style. Together, the three groups helped define a generation of radio and MTV. Decades later, their songs still echo through pop culture. This tour offers a reminder of just how powerful that era remains.

J Cole continues his The Fall Off run by making a surprise appearance on Cam’Ron’s podcast, Talk With Flee, to discuss the lawsuit between them over the mixtape, Might Delete Later. In a clip released Monday, March 23, the two artists spoke openly about the legal dispute tied to Cam’ron’s contribution to the Grammy-nominated mixtape. The conversation revealed that the lawsuit was less about a prolonged legal battle and more about forcing communication behind the scenes. Cole admitted his first reaction to the lawsuit was emotional. When the news surfaced, he said his ego initially took over. J. Cole and Cam’ron talk about their lawsuit: J. Cole: “When the lawsuit came out, I was like, ‘Come on Cam’ … My ego reaction is like, quietly, I’m like, ‘fuck this n****.’ But quickly I’m like, ‘Nah I get it though.’” Cam’ron: “Of course it was never gonna go anywhere, but… pic.twitter.com/2kmnEz9yV2 — Kurrco (@Kurrco) March 23, 2026 “When the lawsuit came out, I was like, ‘Come on Cam,’” Cole explained during the podcast discussion. He then described the private frustration he felt at the time. “My ego reaction is like, quietly, I’m like, ‘fuck this n****.’” However, the Dreamville founder said that reaction did not last long. After reflecting on the situation, he said he understood Cam’ron’s reasoning. “But quickly I’m like, ‘Nah I get it though,’” Cole added, suggesting he recognized the move as a tactic rather than a personal attack. J. Cole & Cam’Ron Talk About Cam’s “Might Delete Later” Lawsuit On Talk With Flee Cam’ron confirmed that interpretation during the conversation. The Harlem rapper explained that he never expected the lawsuit to develop into a serious court fight. Instead, he framed it as a way to get direct attention from Cole and his team. “Of course it was never gonna go anywhere,” Cam’ron said on the podcast. “But for me it was like, ‘I need to get this n**** attention.’” The exchange offered rare transparency about how disputes unfold in the music industry. Legal filings sometimes operate as leverage when artists feel overlooked or excluded from conversations involving their work. Despite the lawsuit tension, the podcast confirmed there’s no real feud between the rappers. The controversy was framed as a communication breakdown that escalated into legal action but ultimately led to a meaningful conversation.

Social media detectives went into overdrive after a surprising Instagram interaction involving rapper 21 Savage, rapper Latto, and Savage’s wife Keyanna Joseph. Fans noticed Joseph had liked Latto’s pregnancy announcement on Instagram, a move that quickly ignited speculation about the trio’s complicated relationship. Screenshots of the interaction spread rapidly after hip-hop platform SayCheeseTV reposted the discovery on X. The post racked up more than 1.6 million views within hours. Latto revealed the pregnancy through the cover art for her upcoming album Big Mama and the music video for her single Business & Personal (Intro). In the video, the Atlanta rapper proudly shows off her growing baby bump while rapping the telling lyric, “car seat, got a kid on the way.” One brief moment fueled the biggest reaction online. A tattooed hand appears while gently touching Latto’s stomach. Fans quickly pointed out the ink resembles 21 Savage’s tattoos, prompting many viewers to assume the Grammy-winning rapper is the child’s father. Neither Savage nor Latto has confirmed that claim publicly. Still, the two have been romantically linked for years. Their connection dates back to Latto’s 2021 track Wheelie, which first sparked rumors about their relationship. Fans Screenshot 21 Savage’s Wife, Keyanna Joseph, Liking Latto’s Pregnancy Announcement Since then, the pair have fueled speculation with matching tattoos and joint vacations. Latto also raised eyebrows during a recent interview with TMZ when she referred to Savage as “my husband.” That comment caught attention because Savage reportedly married Joseph in 2020. The couple share two sons and have known each other for more than a decade. The reported marriage surfaced during Savage’s widely publicized immigration battle. In 2019, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained the Atlanta star after revealing he was born in the United Kingdom and had overstayed a visa. Savage later secured release on bond and eventually obtained permanent residency in 2023, a milestone referenced in Drake’s track 8AM in Charlotte. Rumors of a split between Savage and Joseph surfaced in 2023, though no finalized divorce has appeared publicly. For now, one Instagram like has reignited questions about Savage’s personal life — and the internet is still searching for answers.

Simone Ledward Boseman, the widow of Chadwick Boseman, revealed how she “felt sure” he would beat cancer. In an in-depth interview with Today, Simone recalled Chadwick’s relentless spirit and his final days. “We both felt very sure that he would make it through,” Simone shared.“It was going to be a challenging moment, but something that he would come out on the other side of and be fine. They would do a surgery, he would do some chemo afterward, and he would be OK. There wasn’t much talk at all of the possibility of him not being OK on the other side of that.” Simone also revealed that they discovered Chadwick’s stage 3 cancer diagnosis in 2016, and she married him months before his passing in August 2020. “I didn’t know that he was experiencing anything until he had already been to the doctor twice,” she explained. “It all seemed to come about very suddenly. It was a matter of weeks that he started not feeling well.” CHADWICK WANTED TO KEEP HIS CANCER DIAGNOSIS PRIVATE Eventually, Chadwick’s cancer progressed to stage 4, and he decided to keep his health status private. “Chad was not a person who would have wanted to be treated any differently because people knew that he was sick,” she explained. “The work is what was keeping him moving, so he didn’t want the work to suffer just because he was sick. He didn’t want to be handled with kid gloves because people thought he wasn’t going to be able to do his job and slide underneath falling cabinets and run across fields.” Simone said that thinking that Chadwick was not going to make it was “like a betrayal of faith.” “There are a lot of moments where I look back on that time and wish that we had been able to find a way to talk about that,” she said. Although he was receiving treatment, Chadwick continued to work throughout the process. “The work is what was keeping him moving. So he didn’t want the work to suffer just because he was sick,” Simone said. “He didn’t want to be handled with kid gloves because people thought he wasn’t going to be able to do his job and slide underneath falling cabinets and run across fields.

Latto recently stepped out for the first time since revealing her pregnancy. Over the weekend, the rapper was spotted attending the Atlanta Hawks home game against the Golden State Warriors. The 27-year-old rapper, who was joined by her sister, Brooklyn Nikole, sat courtside. She was all smiles as she took a few photos with the Hawks’ mascot, making sure to highlight her favorite new accessory: her baby bump. Latto appears excited to step into the next era of her life.

Doja Cat’s father, Dumisani Dlamini, is speaking out after the rapper blasted him for not attending her recent concert in South Africa. The rapper has been very open in the past about her estranged relationship with her father. Most recently, she shared a series of videos on her TikTok, titled “The Deadbeat Chronicles.” Apparently, Doja had been communicating with Dlamini and offered him a ticket to her show, which he promptly denied, claiming he’s was too busy. In response, Doja did what she does best: troll. She ended up pranking her father by sending him a link to a gay pornography website. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Dlamini—a South African actor best known for his role in the 1992 film Sarafina— responds to allegations of being a “deadbeat.” He claims Doja was brainwashed by her “white, Jewish” mother, an American woman named Deborah Sawyer, into believing he was absent in her life. “That white woman brainwashed my baby, that I had left her. I never left my kid. She played the cards because of being influenced by her mother. She came to South Africa. She’s got power to see me, and she faked it,” he said. View this post on Instagram Doja Cat And Her Father Trade Shots Online, Public Weighs in The Shade Room captured the pair’s online back-and-forth in a recent Instagram post, and judging by the comments, people aren’t on Dlamini’s side. “Womp, womp, womp. You chose that white woman,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “He [was] talking like he didn’t know she was white,” while a third came to Dlamini’s defense, arguing that Doja’s mother could have manipulated her perception of him. “As a family member with a niece whose mom literally took the child away from my brother, no warning, nothing. He hasn’t been able to see her since she was born into this life. Sometimes “mothers” are the problem. The relationship [not] working out does not allow you to keep a father from his child and lie to the child their whole life,” they wrote. In other news, Doja Cat recently opened up about her dating life in a new Vogue interview. According to the 30-year-old rapper, she’s a “serial dater” who is ready to mingle. “I’m 30, so I’m ovulating and horny,” she says, unapologetically, as she embarks on this new stage in her life.

J. Cole is finally addressing the public feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. What started as a war of words over rap tracks turned into a year-long battle that ended with a lawsuit. Cole did throw his hat in the ring, taking shots at Lamar on “7 Minute Drill,” however, he ended up expressing regret for his involvement. He later offered Lamar a public apology during his set at Dreamville Fest in 2024. While many fans chose their side, Cole claims he still loves and admires both. “I got genuine admiration for these dudes,” he tells Apple Music‘s Nadeska Alexis in a new interview “I got genuine love for these dudes,” he continued. Back in the 2010s, despite competing for spots on the Billboard charts, there was seemingly a sense of camaraderie between the trio. Cole says he hates how the public engaged in the beef, suggesting it might have heightened tensions between Drake and Lamar. “I hate how the world sh*t on either one of them in defense of the other…even saying it out loud is a little silly,” he added.

The Game, whose romantic history is well documented, has recently taken a more solitary approach to dating. Lately, he’s been trying his luck in Instagram DMs, relying on a quirky, if perplexing, pick-up line. Late last night, he shared the phrase he’s been sending: “F3.” As screenshots reveal, it leaves recipients momentarily baffled—exactly the effect he seems to want—before landing the punchline: “Oh sh*t… my bad, I saw a snack & thought it was a vending machine.” The tactic hasn’t quite won over the ladies, and a few have called him out for reusing it. In response, The Game announced he’s retiring “F3,” much to the amusement of followers. His post read, “F3 is now officially retired [skull emoji peace out emoji] …….. we shot, we scored.. we had a good run… on to bigger n better things now. F4 coming soon [laughing emojis].” Ludacris joined the fun with a string of laughing emojis, while one fan joked, “Ayo [laughing emoji] unplug the whole vending machine atp.” The Game speaks out after multiple women exposed his DMs, where he used the same pickup line: “F3 is now officially retired… we shot, we scored… we had a good run…” pic.twitter.com/iYwN83SGGj — My Mixtapez (@mymixtapez) March 20, 2026 The Game Teases Fans with Humor, Hints, and a Diamond Update Supporters encouraged him to keep experimenting. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it bro, just go to a different playing field [laughing emoji],” one wrote. Another added, “Do your thing OG, fisherman uses the same rod to catch different fish.” Though it might sting a bit, The Game appears to be taking it all in stride with good humor. Meanwhile, the veteran rapper drew attention for updating his Instagram profile picture to a diamond—a symbol shared by several of Drake’s affiliates. While the change sparked speculation about a possible collaboration, others, including football star Johnny Manziel, have adopted the same icon, tempering the excitement. Still, fans remain hopeful that the next move from the West Coast veteran could be just around the corner.

Earlier this decade, Future faced a high-profile custody battle with Eliza Reign, the mother of their daughter, Reign. The dispute quieted in recent years, but Eliza returned to public attention this week with an alarming video on Instagram. According to reports, she recorded her daughter and cousin playing outside when a white van suddenly pulled into the driveway. A man stepped out but bolted immediately after Eliza opened the garage, apologizing and claiming he had arrived at the wrong address. The clip, complete with audio, prompted her to caution followers about a possible kidnapping attempt. Additionally, this alarming episode makes many wonder what the future holds for Eliza and her family. “I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for the kids when I heard this beeping sound,” Eliza recounted. “It felt like a warning, so I went outside, and what do I see? A guy in a white van with tinted windows backed up in my driveway. As soon as he saw me open the garage door, he took off running! He casually yelled, ‘Oh, sorry, wrong address,’ like he didn’t bother to check before pulling in!” She urged parents to remain vigilant while children play outside. “Seriously, keep an eye on your kids when they’re outside,” she advised. “I’m glad I listened to my gut and went out. Usually, I don’t let Reign play outside alone, but today was one of the first times I did since her cousin is here for spring break. Lesson learned never again!” The future safety of her children is a clear priority for Eliza following this event. View this post on Instagram Eliza Faces Life, Family, and Fame Eliza first gained recognition in hip-hop circles following the birth of her daughter with Future in April 2019. Since then, she has expanded her profile as a reality television personality, real estate agent, entrepreneur, and social media influencer. While the child support dispute between Future and Eliza has largely remained out of the public eye, Future has not commented on the recent incident. For now, Eliza and her family remain cautious, hoping to move past the frightening episode safely, and with hopes for a calmer future.

Taylor Frankie Paul took a moment to thank Doug Mason, a suitor from her season of The Bachelorette. She did this after ABC announced the show would not premiere on March 22 as originally scheduled. The acknowledgment came amid a challenging week for the 31-year-old Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star. She has been navigating public scrutiny following recent legal and personal developments. In a March 20 post reshared by a fan, Taylor wrote of the San Diego lifeguard, “Aw my heart goes out to him. So sweet.” Doug’s message, recorded from his car while driving to the beach, offered her words of encouragement. “Good morning, everybody. In light of everything that’s happened, I’m just sending out prayers to Taylor,” he said. “Because that was her moment, and her moment was blocked.” He continued with a plea for empathy and positivity. “All we can do right now is just be hopeful,” he added. “Hope you guys have a great day. Let’s stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need. Cheers.” View this post on Instagram Taylor Speaks Out, Protecting Herself and Her Family Amid Past Allegations The network’s decision to postpone the series follows the circulation of video footage from a 2023 physical confrontation involving Taylor and her then-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, obtained and published by TMZ. The incident resulted in her arrest and a guilty plea on a charge of aggravated assault. Furthermore, a separate domestic dispute in February remains under investigation by authorities. This led to the suspension of production on season five of Mormon Wives. Taylor’s representative released a statement highlighting her resilience. “After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser,” the statement told E! News. It continued, emphasizing that she is “taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” and added that she had stayed silent in the past out of “fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming,” while she “is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.”
