Source: PYMCA / Getty Solange Cancels Coachella Performance Solange really tried to make Coachella happen, but life just isn’t cooperating. According to TMZ , the “production issues” that she was experiencing was really more of an issue for her band. Word is that several people have come down with an illness that has taken them completely out of rehearsals etc. Solange and co. tried their damnedest to get new band members but she felt like she just couldn’t give the performance that she wanted to give and decided it was better to pull the plug than to half-a$$ it. Maybe Solo will come back next year stronger like her big sister did.
If you have yet to hear about the latest cheating scandal in the Kardashian/Jenner fam, well here we go! Kylie reportedly accused Travis Scott of cheating on her while on his Astroworld – Wish You Were Here tour. But hours after the call out, the reality star happily took to Instagram to promote her latest Kylie Cosmetics products. Jenner posted a series of videos to her Instagram story to explain how her new Kylie Cosmetics Setting Powders worked. She also shared two Instagram posts with photos of the products, which she revealed will be available on March 7. “Finally! I’m so excited to Introduce NEW Kylie Setting Powders! 6 beautiful shades: Translucent, Soft Pink, Beige, Yellow, Dark and Deep Dark,” she wrote. “Velvety, smooth, weightless and gorgeous, our new all over loose powders effortlessly set your makeup, balance oils and provide a natural, skin-like finish. Launching March 7.” The second post showed Kylie holding one of the powders. “SETTING POWDERS by [Kylie Cosmetics] launching March 7th,” she wrote with a heart emoji. All of the advertising for her products came a day after boyfriend Travis Scott postponed his concert in Buffalo, New York citing illness, but really it is rumored that it was because Kylie accused him of doing the dirty behind her back. So he returned home to make things right and “deal with it,” according to TMZ. On Thursday afternoon, Scott tweeted, “Buffalo I’m so sorry I can’t perform tonight. I’m under the weather and it f–king sucks! Can’t pull up without full rage. Show rescheduled to March 10 all tix are valid. See u soon.” TMZ reported that Jenner accused Scott of cheating on her after he arrived in Los Angeles Wednesday. He intended to surprise the makeup mogul and their adorable daughter Stormi but was instead met with “evidence” that Jenner claimed was proof that the rapper had cheated. This apparently turned into a major argument which continued into Thursday. Travis’ reps say he “absolutely denies” the allegations. Kylie just lost her best friend, Jordyn Woods, about a week before from a cheating scandal and now is possibly losing her lover over the same betrayal? Khloe and Tristan Thompson broke up after Jordyn and the basketball star were “all over each other” at a house party a few weekends ago. Khloe, also a recent first-time mom, found out the following Monday and broke up with Thompson immediately after. We will see if Kylie follows in her sister’s footsteps. The current Travis Scott scandal comes as shocking news to everyone, especially because Kylie and Travis have been hinting at an engagement in the near future. And they were even previously rumored to have secretly wedded thanks to all the flashy rings that Jenner often shows off. The “wifey” and “hubby” nicknames on social media also added to the speculation. Travis and Kylie met at Coachella in 2017 and welcomed Stormi a year later. “I’ll let everybody know” when they get engaged, Kris Jenner told Paper last week. And as for being a young mother, Kylie admits it is what she has always wanted. “It’s genuinely what I wanted…to be a young mom,” she told the outlet. “I thought, ‘This is what I want to do, and if people accept it or don’t accept it then I’m OK with every outcome.” And while Kylie has raved about Travis’ parenting skills in the past, we know she would be just fine on her own. Besides Stormi and her fam is all she really needs! View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Catches Travis Scott CHEATING … Here’s How She Busted Him [Updated]
Source: Joseph Okpako/WireImage/Jason Koerner/Getty Images for BET / Getty Gucci Mane Forms New “Gucci Gang” Supergroup Gucci Mane is debuting a brand new act at Coachella this year, and it was so under wraps that many people thought its listing was a typo. If you’ll recall, Coachella released their 2019 lineup a few days ago and left many heads scratching when they saw the act “Gucci Gang” listed. A click through to the website revealed a photo of Gucci Mane and it appeared that the pale people who put these things together were mistaken as to who they actually booked to perform…or at least had Lil Pump’s infectious chorus on the brain. But that’s not at all the case. A change of the official act listing photo revealed Gucci, Lil Pump, and Smokepurpp as a joint performance and according to TMZ , this Coachella performance is set to be the first of many for the trio. And since no one performs at Coachella simply for their health, we’re assuming that there’s a collaborative album forthcoming from these three as well. Are you here for it??

Source: Jenae Spriensma / Getty Sometimes we just need a little mid-week motivation…even on Thursday. I mean, it’s MUCH harder to make it through the work week on like 2:30pm on a Thursday than any other day. There’s really nothing that makes the clock tick slower than knowing it’s almost Friday but not quite–and sometimes a good laugh is all we need to make the minutes pass a little more quickly. If you frequent Twitter as much as everyone else on the Internet, you’re no stranger to how up and down the experience can be. Sometimes you log on and end up scrolling for (let’s be honest here) the better part of 3 hours because EVERYTHING. IS FUNNY. But other times, we aren’t so lucky. Other times–the times when you actually NEED some entertainment–when you’re bored out of your mind, waiting for the train or trying to find something to look at on your lunch break, there’s absolutely nothing that catches your interest. But look no more, because we’ve compiled the most entertaining tweets on your timeline from today and included them here so you can get that laugh you need to make it through the rest of Thursday and hopefully Friday, too. Let’s face it, there’s nothing that makes the time pass more easily than a good laugh, and hopefully, you’ll get a couple with these next few tweets…..

Source: Gallo Images / Getty You’d think after Coachella announced their line-up , people would get excited for the festival and that would be the end of it. However, folks are putting their zoom-in feature to good use with criticism of the festival’s fine print. First, there was a whole Gucci Mane fiasco where instead of printing “Gucci Mane” as a performer, Coachella billed him as “Gucci Gang.” However, Coachella came through with the quick save and later changed their artist site to show Gucci would be performing with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp as the “Gucci Gang.” Nice one Coachella. But this didn’t stop other people from beefing with the music festival…more specifically a not-so-happy music artist. Nigerian afrobeat star Burna Boy couldn’t help but notice that his name was smaller in the billing than say…the headliners of the show. Peep his name below, three rows down from Ariana Grande. pic.twitter.com/v7RmGri9O0 — Coachella (@coachella) January 3, 2019 Burna Boy was so annoyed with his placement that he made a post about it on Insta-stories. “I am an AFRICAN GIANT and will not be reduced to whatever that tiny writing means,” he said. Ironically, the afrobeat artist Mr. Eazi, who’s just as big as Burna Boy, also received the same-sized text and complaints from him were nowhere to be found. The Internet was quick to clown Burna Boy over his print outrage.

While afrobeat artists are booming in places like Nigeria and Ghana, they have yet to make a large-scale impact on American audiences. “Burna boy. No notable award to his name.. No Billboard appearance. No BET nomination.. Just one breakthrough year and he gets picked for coachella for the first time in his life and this ni**a thinks he’s Drake,” Twitter user @OlaTheOG said. “You want your name in caps like Ariana that has 141m followers on IG.” Burna boy. No notable award to his name.. No Billboard appearance. No BET nomination.. Just one breakthrough year and he gets picked for coachella for the first time in his life and this nigga thinks he's Drake. You want your name in caps like Ariana that has 141m followers on IG — BREZZIDENT (@OlaTheOG) January 3, 2019 Many people followed up on the Ariana Grande comparison, saying Burna Boy hasn’t reached the same pop status as the “Thank U, Next” singer, so his billing font might be a tad smaller. Someone said Burna boy has more fan base than Ariana Grande Please what's the color of this madness — Trouble Maker (G.O) (@ObongRoviel) January 3, 2019 Then, of course, there were people who were just plain petty… Have you greeted Burna Boy this afternoon?? https://t.co/yssKP4y6az — valking♔ (@_valkiing) January 3, 2019 Lmaoooooo somebody went to clean a whole Ariana Grande's name & Put Burna Boy. No Respect pic.twitter.com/swYdbM4YcT — KinG NomSo (@ani_nomso) January 3, 2019 Eventually, Burna Boy responded to the backlash with another Insta-story post , writing: “AFRICAN creatives going Global. Not the soft, Low self esteem Africans with the slave mentality. I will grant an interview soon to make myself understood. Nothing say comes from any place of ‘pride’ or any sense of ‘entitlement,’ it comes from my Vision of the future of AFRICA not just AFRICAN Music.” What do you think? Should Coachella put more respect on Burna’s name or does Burna’s font outrage still go under the petty files? One thing is for certain. People will be expecting a headline-worthy performance from him come April.
