Fashion heads…Rihanna is taking you inside the Balmain offices to flaunt her badness in one of a kind Balmain designs. Check out all the pics inside…
Leave it to Rih Rih to take the fashion world by storm while chillin’ in Paris in between her Diamonds World Tour shows. After parlaying with designer Azzedine Alaia himself, she headed over to Balmain. Since she’s rocking plenty of Balmian fashion for her tour wardrobe, she just gave fans a peek into what went down when she visited the fashion house’s offices. And the looks she modeled are drool worthy.
About this sparkling yellow mini skirt and jacket, "fashion heaux" (as she called herself) Rih said:
It’s like wearing a Mona Lisa trust me! This shit is art, like you don’t even wanna touch it!!! #Balmain
Sexy.
She kicked it with head Balmain designer (and hottie) Olivier Rousteing who put her in some ridiculously hot creations:
He was also spotted backstage at her show while Rih handed him some kisses:
She said about Olivier, "You are the most beautiful spirit, so down to earth and kind! @olivier_rousteing I think I’m in love!!! #Balmain"
Sweet! He is a cutie though…
Meanwhile, Rihanna became only the third black performer to rock the Stade de France yesterday. And the 25-year-old also made history as the youngest person to ever do so. She said about the sold out status of the biggest stadium in France:
I couldn’t do this alone, I needed 80’000 people to join me!!! And you did, so thank you for being the fans of a lifetime, we’re the ones they’re gonna talk about decades from now! You are the phanz that other faves could only dream to have!! I am blessed and honored and proud and humbled to be represented by you and to represent for you!!!! It’s a Navi thing!! #phuckyophanz #phuckyofav #thisiswhatrealstadiumstatusbelookinglikebitch #nobasiczone #THANKYOU #NavyRDie

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.
The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.
The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.
“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.
He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”
Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.
War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.
Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.

Most known for providing instrumentation to artists like B.o.B., Twista, and Raheem DeVaughn as well as securing notable sync placements with the Washington Wizards, Netflix, and Cartoon Network, JS is just as seasoned in front of the camera as he is in the studio; boasting an acting resume that contains appearances on Hulu’s Wu-Tang An American Saga in addition to commercial spots for Macy’s and Starbucks.
