SZA is paging Travis Scott.

The R&B songstress revealed that she wants to perform their hit collaboration “Love Galore” one more time. Taking to Twitter on Thursday, SZA asked if someone could contact La Flame and ask him for her since she surprisingly doesn’t have his phone number.

“Can somebody ask Travis to perform love galore w me one last time for old times sake,” she tweeted, adding, “Ion got his number lol.”

The two have previously performed their 2017 hit off SZA’s album Ctrl, including on “The Tonight Show” and on her “Ctrl Tour” stop in Houston in October 2017.

Meanwhile, the “Good Days” singer has been rehearsing for an upcoming performance, but it’s unclear what it’s for. She has shared video clips and photos from rehearsals on social media.

TDE’s First Lady recently made headlines after she vented about her label. “I really hate my label . So much,” she commented upon hearing that “Good Days” had exited the Billboard Hot 100 after peaking at No. 9.

J. Cole is back with another one.

The Fayetteville rapper hits the streets of New York in his latest video for “Punchin’ the Clock.” He hails a cab before rapping out the backseat window for the majority of the Scott Lazer-directed clip. At the end, he gets out and grabs some food from a street vendor.

“Punchin’ the Clock” is the third visual from Cole’s chart-topping album The Off-Season following “Applying Pressure” and “Amari.” The Off-Season debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming Cole’s sixth chart-topper.

Last week, Cole completed his stint with the Rwanda Patriots in the inaugural Basketball Africa League. He played three games and scored five points before returning home due to a “family obligation.”

More Life Growth is no more.

More than a year after announcing its multi-million dollar partnership with Drake, Canadian cannabis producer Canopy Growth Corp. has ended the relationship.

According to Bloomberg, Canopy terminated the joint venture with Drake’s More Life Growth Co. in March. More Life had initially planned to sell cannabis-related products in the Canadian and global markets.

“We have indeed divested from More Life and the facility in Scarborough which had been intended to be part of that agreement is now Canopy Growth’s R&D facility, where we will work on plant science and science development projects,” said Jennifer White, director of communications at Canopy Growth.

Drake launched his cannabis wellness company in November 2019, billing it as a fully-licensed producer of cannabis based out of his hometown of Toronto. Drake held 60% ownership in More Life, while Canopy Growth retained a 40% stake.

“The opportunity to partner with a world-class company like Canopy Growth on a global scale is really exciting,” Drake said when the deal was announced. “The idea of being able to build something special in an industry that is ever growing has been inspiring. More Life and More Blessing.”

In regulatory filings, Canopy said it incurred an $8.6 million “impairment charge” as a result of the venture in the fiscal fourth quarter. Canopy will no longer be obligated to pay royalties to More Life, amounting to around $27.7 million.
