This Throwback Thursday shines a spotlight on “Into You,” the smooth, radio-dominating single from Fabolous’ 2003 sophomore album Street Dreams. Produced by DJ Clue and DURO, the track reimagined Tamia’s 1998 hit “So Into You,” blending hip-hop swagger with R&B romance. Its layered samples and heartfelt lyrics helped define early-2000s rap and R&B collaborations, making it one of Fabolous’ signature records.  Originally, Ashanti recorded a version of the song for the album, but label complications prevented her from appearing in the music video. As a result, Tamia stepped in to re-record a commercial version and star in the visuals alongside Fabolous. The now-iconic video, directed by Erik White and filmed on a cloudy Malibu beach, turned unexpected rainy weather into a stylish, cinematic love story that still resonates with fans. “Into You” became a major commercial success, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top 10 in multiple countries. It also marked one of Fabolous’ highest-charting singles at the time and remained on year-end charts throughout 2003. More than two decades later, the track continues to stand as a timeless fusion of hip-hop and R&B that captures the sound and style of its era.

Cardi B is opening up about her body once again, revealing plans to reduce the size of her butt following her current tour. While performing on the road, the rapper shared backstage at the Kia Forum on Feb. 17 that she intends to undergo another procedure. Speaking with Big Boy's Neighborhood, she said, “After this tour, I’m taking some out,” adding that she plans to travel to Colombia for the surgery and take time away from the public. The artist, who recently welcomed a baby boy with Stefon Diggs and shares three other children with estranged husband Offset, has been candid about her cosmetic procedures over the years. In September 2024, she revealed she had already removed about 95 percent of her butt injections, which were originally illegal biopolymer shots she received in 2014. At the time, she explained that removal required multiple procedures and used her platform to warn young fans against getting injections, urging them to avoid similar choices. Despite saying on Call Her Daddy that she has learned to accept her body and doesn’t want to undergo another major surgery just to please critics, Cardi admitted that further reduction would require going under the knife again. For now, she continues to perform and embrace her look onstage, but once the tour wraps, the Grammy winner says she’s ready for a change and some time out of the spotlight.

Ray J left fans stunned after performing with what appeared to be bleeding eyes and medical equipment taped to his chest during a Feb. 14 concert in Shreveport, Louisiana. The 45-year-old singer, known for his hit “One Wish,” wore sunglasses onstage with what looked like blood dripping from one eye. The show also featured performances by Kelly Price and Bobby Valentino. Ahead of the performance, Ray J wrote on Facebook, “I’m putting my life on the line for this show!!” Fan-captured videos circulating online showed him removing his sunglasses to reveal what appeared to be blood pooled beneath both eyes. When he later unzipped his orange jumpsuit, something resembling a heart monitor seemed taped to his chest, with the surrounding skin appearing bloodied, prompting concern among viewers. In a backstage clip, however, he addressed speculation about his condition, insisting he was “perfectly fine” and telling critics not to laugh at him being sick. The dramatic performance comes weeks after Ray J revealed he may only have months to live following a hospitalization for severe pneumonia and ongoing heart complications. He previously shared that years of heavy drug and alcohol use damaged the right side of his heart and that doctors have prescribed multiple medications to extend his life. The singer has been warned to avoid drinking and smoking and may need a pacemaker or defibrillator after an upcoming medical evaluation, as he continues to confront his health challenges publicly.
