“Bitch Better Have My Money.”But now that Ri-Ri is a mommy of two, it’s more like “Babies Better Have My Forehead.”While you might think that the “Umbrella” singer would be more interested in passing on all those musical genes from her and rapper partner A$AP Rocky to their two sons — RZA, 19 months, and Riot, 4 months — she’s most concerned about carrying on her forehead in the family.“The only thing I imagined was probably the forehead on RZA,” Rihanna, 35, told “Access Hollywood” when asked about her visions of motherhood at the Los Angeles relaunch of her Fenty x Puma Creeper sneaker line on Monday night.“Riot doesn’t have it.

Drake announced the surprise release of his “Scary Hours 3” EP — in an elaborate, two-minute trailer posted on Instagram — mere hours before it dropped at midnight on Friday, I could barely muster up a shrug.Nor was I impressed that he apparently came up with all six of these new songs just five days right before the trailer dropped. (Although OK, OK, the fact that he could get his hometown Toronto Symphony Orchestra onboard for a quickie shoot is a baller flex.)This EP — the third in his “Scary Hours” series that started in 2018 — comes only six weeks after the release of the hip-hop superstar’s “For All the Dogs” album, and its six tracks are also featured on an expanded “Scary Hours” edition of Drake’s eighth solo LP.But in case you aren’t keeping track — and really, how could all but the most devoted Drizzy fans be at this point? — “For All the Dogs” was already 22(!) new Drake songs.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, of raping and physically abusing her for years, according to an explosive lawsuit she filed Thursday.The personal trainer, 30, subtly shared a photo from the couple’s wedding day via Instagram Story, simply adding a red heart emoji. The sweet snapshot, which was deleted soon after, appeared to be a repost from a past Instagram collage from his account in August 2022.As The Post previously reported, Cassie claims that Diddy trafficked, raped and beat her starting in 2005 until 2018.“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, said in a statement via her attorneys at Wigdor LLP.The R&B singer alleges that their on-and-off-again relationship began in 2005 when she was 19 and Combs was 37.

one of her fellow female inductees in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2023.“My family used to tell me that Chaka Khan was my cousin when I was little,” she says, “so for a long time, I would be like, ‘Why she not at the family reunion?’ They told me Chaka Khan was my cousin and the Jacksons, and they would have their pictures in picture frames. So I would walk around the house thinking that they were my family.
