On Friday (May 16), Rihanna dropped off her first single in three years, “Friend Of Mine,” and its accompanying video for the new Smurfs movie soundtrack.
Coming in at just under four minutes, the video takes viewers on a colorful and trippy journey to Smurf Village. RiRi, Papa Smurf, and Smurfette party hard as the singer’s EDM-inspired track plays in the background. “Ooh, I think the word here is “déjà-vu”/Just met you tonight, but you feel like a friend of mine,” Rihanna sings on the track’s chorus.
Smurfs will hit theaters on July 18, with Rihanna reprising her role as Smurfette. The film also stars Octavia Spencer, James Corden, Dan Levy, and more. According to the film’s synopsis, after “evil wizards Razamel and Garmael” kidnap Papa Smurf, “Smurfette leads the Smurfs on a mission to the real world to save him.” You can check out the trailer here.
A$AP Rocky Teases Possible Name for His and Rihanna’s Third Baby
A$AP Rocky gave a rare peek into his growing family’s future as he and Rihanna prepare for baby number three. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, things heat up when the two talk talk baby names. With Riot and RZA already setting an ‘R’ theme, Meyers asked whether the couple plans to keep the streak going with their next child.
Rocky answered without pause—“For sure,” he said—suggesting their next child’s name might follow the same ‘R’ tradition. But that choice could clash with a lighthearted request from his attorney, Joe Tacopina, who’s been campaigning for the name A$AP Joe. After securing Rocky’s acquittal in a widely publicized shooting case, Tacopina quipped, “They grabbed me and they said, ‘Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe.’” He’s since joked that he plans to hold them to it.
