Dance Stars Ayo & Teo Drop Headphone & Speaker Collection With Fanstereo Dance pros Ayo & Teo have partnered with lifestyle brand Fanstereo to release their own capsule collection of consumer electronics. The functional line features two types of headphones, one leather-bound and the other mobile earbuds, as well as a bluetooth speaker. The electronics are priced from $99 to $139. “Ayo and Teo, they are a hybrid group, and we’re a hybrid headphone,” Fanstereo’s CEO Jay Leopardi told us. “It’s been a beautiful marriage.” The brothers, who appeared in Usher’s “No Limit” video and whose own song “Rolex” went platinum last year, greenlit the collab not only because Fanstereo’s products have gained a rep for high quality with a focus on research and development, but also because the headphones are made to stay put if you’re on the move, Leopardi said. “They are in the dance movement, and there’s no other headphone that you can dance in without them falling off your head,” Leopardi said. “I think they are the new Justin Biebers for that type of music. That’s why Usher messes with them. They are talented artists and we sign talented artists.” The company has launched 30 to 40 celebrity capsule collections to date (like a collab with Boosie Badazz and an “Art of Rap” collection with Cypress Hill, EPMD, Tone Loc and Biz Markie) and count Stevie Wonder and comedian Eddie Griffin among its fans. Will you be wearing the new headgear? Hit the flip for more pics from the collection:
This past weekend we hit up Austin, TX for the SXSW conference & festival and among many artists on the rise, Peruvian singer A.Chal was on the scene with some really dope performances! We got a chance to chat with Alejandro, 28, about his start in music, the success of his first single, and the wild traction his new hit single “Love N Hennessy” is gaining. If you haven’t already, we are sure you’ll be hearing the NY raised R&B artist’s latest hit “Love N Hennessy” and loving the wavy vibes accompanied by a Latina swag to please all cultures. The song, written by A.Chal, explains difficulties in relationships once love AND liquor get involved. When asked “What was the inspiration behind ‘Love N Hennessy’?” the electro r&b artist responded “There was a situation between myself and a girl I was dealing with, and we hadn’t spoken. We were both in Miami, and when she saw me out with another girl, she got sooo upset she threw a bottle of Hennessy at me!” Talk about Hennything can happen! We also chatted with him a bit about his current love life and A.Chal let us know he is, indeed, on the market ladies! One bad relationship don’t stop no show! Hopefully we can continue to get the moody feels with the sway vibes as he’s provided on projects “Welcome To GAZI” and “On GAZ”. Fans were super excited to see our fave summer jam had a remix on the way with 2 Chainz and Nicky Jam. We asked specifically how did the collab with ATL superstar 2 Chainz come about? “Well,a friend of mine for years, FKI, was also close with Chainz. He let him hear the reord and told him we wanted to remix it and he seemed to just jump right in. It’s crazy because I still haven’t met Chainz. Definitely something I’m planning to do my next visit to the A. I’ve got mad respect for 2 Chainz. Finally, we asked what should fans be looking forward to in the near future and he let us know that there will be visuals dropping soon for his record “Quanto” off of “On GAZ” and it will be a dope video starring fans and children, and was shot in Mexico! He won’t even be in the video! The seemingly down to earth singer says he wants to keep his focus mainly on his craft more so than the show boating. Thursday night, 3/15 he alsoperfjrmed at the Epic Records Showcase stage and killed it! To hear “ Love N Hennessy “, click here .

Image via Getty Celebs Interacted With Russian Social Media Sites Earlier we reported on the indictment of 13 Russians as a result of Robert Mueller’s investigation into election tampering back in 2016. Based on the indictment paperwork, several social media outlets have been outed as Russian propaganda, and many of the most famous Americans citizens unknowingly helped their reach. For example, take this tweet that Nicki Minaj sent the day the harrowing live-stream murders happened in Cleveland: The video u posted is so disturbing. Be safe in CLEVELAND today everyone. He just killed this old man live on social media. Jesus have mercy https://t.co/mYmpPvBBXl — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) April 16, 2017 Or Donald Trump replying to some of that wet and sloppy boot-licking that he enjoys so much: So nice, thank you! https://t.co/Cg4dzHhbrv — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2017 According to NBC , these two were FAR from the only celebrities to get caught up by the Ruskis, they have an EXTENSIVE list of influential tweeters who unwittingly (in Trump’s case, he probably knew they were Russian, but we digress) engaged in one form or another (reply, retweet, like) with Russian propaganda pages: Jake Tapper (CNN) Sarah Silverman Trevor Noah Ann Coulter Sean Hannity Donald Trump Jr. The list goes on and on and on. Trump haters engaged usually to push back against a claim, while MAGA brand mayo jars engaged to show support or as evidence of their misguided beliefs. We’ve all gotta be more conscious of which things we let get us riled up online. You might just be aiding the enemy. Continue reading →
Lamar Odom Checks Himself Into Rehab One year after facing down death and permanent brain damage after his near-fatal overdose in a Nevada brothel , Lamar Odom has checked himself into rehab to get a handle on his drug issues . The news comes just five days before his divorce from Khloe Kardashian is set to become final . But as a source tells E!online , Lamar is really just trying to get well for himself and move on to a better level in his life: “It was his own decision. He wanted to work on his mental and physical health for the next chapter of his life. He has not fallen off the wagon, but he understands the importance of maintaining his sobriety.” That’s good to hear! Granted, Lamar has had a lot of setbacks on the road to finally solidifying his sobriety — including reports of binge-boozing and rumors of homelessness. But the source says that he’s definitely living well and is just focusing on his health right now. “Lamar’s not homeless. He has a nice place in California. He is doing well. He is determined to stay on the straight and narrow [path] and wants to be the best father he can possibly be and he is doing the work required to achieve that. It is not easy, but he is focused and determined.” We hope he can get well, once and for all this time… Splash
Rick Ross Says Kanye Is A Genius For “Fake” Mental Issues Rick Ross says that Kanye is the real biggest boss for convincing the public that he’s suffering from mental problems. During a appearance in NY on Sunday, Rick took the mic and told the crowd that he has respect for Kanye, who’s an absolute “genius” for playing out the public with his “mental breakdown stunt.” Welp, it’s not as if Rozay is the only one to say that this is the case…but we think all signs point to something seriously having been wrong with ‘Ye. What do you think? Splash/WENN
Jay And Bey Surprise Fans At Cleveland Rally For Hillary Clinton The Carters surprised fans at Hillary Clinton’s Cleveland “Stronger Together” voting rally tonight, with Bey popping out to perform ‘Formation’ and ‘Freedom’ and lend her official support to the Democratic nominee. Bey even shared a few words with the crowd about how monumental Hillary’s run in office would be for the nation: “There was a time when a woman’s opinion did not matter… less than 100 years ago women did not have the right to vote, look how far we’ve come to having no voice to being on the brink of history by electing the first woman president. But we have to vote. The world looks to us as a progressive country that needs change. I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and know that her possibilities are limitless.” Nice. Are you with her too? Hit the flip for more from Bey’s speech on Hillary’s impact and more behind the scenes flicks of the Carters and Clinton… Instagram
