The Warm Up: Tyrese and Sanaa Lathan, New Couple Alert?
Face it, we're all culture vultures in one way or another, so it's only right that BET.com brings you #TheWarmUp on the daily tip. And remember that keeping it buck doesn't mean that shade is being thrown. (Word to Nicki.) We just like to keep it honest and real when it comes to our extended family. Read on for the hottest, most shocking moments of the past 24 hours.
–– In some unexpected news it looks like Tyrese and Sanaa Lathan are an item. If this rumor is true we've got Black love, star power and a potential Hollywood power couple on our hands. We'll keep you posted.
–– Oh, and to add on to things related to Tyrese, none other than Brandy's little and slightly egocentric brother, Ray J, posted this on Twitter not too long ago: "F**k Tyrese and Tyga #LA @wack100." Uhhh... we're not too sure what this could be about, but it seems like the Love & Hip Hop star is stepping into some fire right now. Let's just hope that this tweet doesn't burn him.
–– Despite the messy separation (and pending possible divorce), it looks like it's all love between Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose. Wiz went on his social media humble after a series of pics popped up of him and other women and allegations of cheating ran rampant. "Happy birthday Amb <3 @DaRealAmberRose," he wrote Tuesday (Oct. 21). Within the hour, she graciously accepted. "@wizkhalifa Thank u Sweetheart #StillLoveYouNoMatterWhat," she posted. Fingers still crossed that the best outcome for these two and Baby Bash is on the horizon.
— Congratulations to none other than T.I. for the release of Paperwork, in stores today! The self-proclaimed and proven King of the South sat down backstage at 106 & Park yesterday to explain what the convo between him and Snoop was when it came to settling the beef between Iggy Azalea and Tha Doggfather. Check it out here!
— The Hunger Games is one of the biggest book and movie franchises worldwide. Now, thanks to Lorde, the soundtrack to the movie's upcoming installment will be one to pay attention to. The New Zealand pop sensation has recruited Kanye West, Tinashe, Pusha T, Q-Tip and more to complete the listening experience in the best way possible.
— #TheWarmUp would like to send birthday wishes to both Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose. (What a coincidence!) Today Kimmy turns 34 and Muva Rosebud turns 31. Enjoy your day, ladies!
— Drake is quite possibly the most transparent (errr... emo) rapper in the game, so his new single, "How About Now," is, well, typical. He samples a Jodeci song for his beloved R&B sound and basically recalls a time before he was famous, when he had a less than supportive girlfriend who didn't really believe in his dream, yet wanted the world from him. It may be some years later, but Drizzy has purged and is coming clean with how he really felt.
— Big Sean recently gave MTV News a behind-the-scenes look at the music video for his hit "IDFWU." There's a football theme involved and some dope cameos by DJ Mustard and none other that Kanye West, who plays the team coach. Get a sneak peek at the magic here.
— In other news, after spending the end of last week with his son and ex-girlfriend (we think...), Tyga was spotted in France over the weekend with none other than Kylie Jenner. Nobody is sure why they were together, but of course the dating rumors have flared back up again. Only time will tell what's going on with these two.
