Fortunately for nosy football and music fans, Chance the Rapper and Justin Timberlake posed together at the event for a photo, which Chance tweeted. Keeping it real about the secret-not-secret NFL party, the Rapper wrote, "Currently crashing Peyton Manning's retirement party." Even the party crashers were A-List.
In the photo, Timberlake rocks his signature dad fedora and Chance appears to be enjoying a clear beverage. The event (which may or may not have happened) took place at the Beverly Hills Montage and celebrated Manning's 18-year career as one of football's greatest quarterbacks. Read more here.

The pair surprised fans and released a joint mixtape titled Money Hoes and Flows on Tuesday (July 12) via the DatPiff music app. According to The Fader, the tape is hosted by DJ Drama and features guest appearances from people like Fetty's RGF crew member Monty.
Scott Storch, famous for creating Fat Joe's "Lean Back" beat, contributed tracks. Other production was helmed by IBeatz. Check out the Money Hoes and Flows tape here.
Lil' Kim invited Rich Homie Quan out to rap part of "Get Money," and although things started off fine, he eventually grew quiet and appeared to forget the song's lyrics. After completing the first rhyme, Rich Homie Quan took to a corner of the stage and improvised hype words to keep the audience on board.
Lil' Kim held her own without his help, but the whole performance ended up feeling soft. Rich Homie Quan sure looked the part, though. He took the stage wearing Biggie's iconic Coogie sweater (via XXL Mag).
Twitter, naturally, wasn't about to let him get away with anything. Viewers have been overloading the social media platform with all sorts of criticisms, including the fact that he chose to dress the part but couldn't actually play the part. See the tweets and watch the flub here.
"She's here!" Morrissette captioned a photo of her newborn. The picture of the newborn comes comes nearly two weeks after Morissette released a photo of herself naked, pregnant and underwater.
A quote from her five-year-old son Ever accompanied the image: 'You have to be extra gentle around ladies because they are the most helpful people in the world 'cause they make persons." See the post here.
"Bad Boy helped make hip hop what it is today--and this collection highlights all the music, history and vision that made Bad Boy number 1." said Bad Boy founder and chairman Puff Daddy. 'We wanted to thank our fans, celebrate the music, the people, and the Bad Boy lifestyle that have defined the past two decades. We've always made music that makes the people dance; this collection does all that and more, and it is a celebration of all things Bad Boy."
The set will include a 64-page history of the label's rise, highs and lows along the way--promising a "360-degree view" of the Bad Boy legacy. Current label president Harve Pierre curated the collection of tracks which includes everything from "I Need a Girl" to "I'll Be Missing You." Its release also coincides with the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour. Read more here.
Perez Hilton managed to get a full version of the video, and he filmed a brief segment of it to share with his readers (via Idolator). Rather than post a clip, he shot a few seconds of cellphone video while watching "Make Me (Oooh)" on his laptop. He comments over most of it so there's not much by way of audio.
In the brief video, Spears stands front and center wearing a wrapped bathing suit incredibly close to the one seen in her sneak peek for new perfume Private Show. She's surrounded by male dancers dressed in a variety of nude colored bottoms to give an added provocative touch to her new music. Check out the snippet here.
In it, BANKS and several dancers that look closer to mannequins than humans contort together in a warehouse. The dancers also wear masks featuring her likeness, which, combined with the setting's low lightning and neon pink touches, lends the whole affair a disturbed feel.
"F- With Myself" is quiet in places but chill overall. It relies on a big, upfront beat and moody synths to carry Banks' perturbed vocals. "This song is about being your own best friend, your own mother, and your own lover," she said in a press release. Read more here.
Durant has been a fan of hip-hop since he was a child and has even worked on his own music including a feature with renowned star Wale called 'The Best In The League.'
Durant recently sat down with Genius and discussed his name being used in songs by rappers Drake, Jay Z, J. Cole, Fabolous and Logic. Check out the video here.
The song's opening has a similar feel to Beyonce's popular single "Sorry," with the foursome changing "N-, nah," to "N-, now" before exploding things with an addictive beat and some hard and fast rhymes.
In the track's lyrics, the four rappers have struck upon their popularity at the moment: They are the biggest and best right now. Gucci isn't the only one who has been keeping busy. Migos dropped a new five-track EP 3 Way on July 8. Listen to "Now" here.
