Please have all of your snacks pre-fixed for the NBA All-star game this year, because Rihanna has just been announced as the entertainment. Get the deets inside plus find out who's the latest rapper arrested after a home raid.
World-wide pop star Rihanna has just been announced as the headliner of the NBA All-Star Game airing live from LA's Staples Center, next Sunday (Feb. 20).
So what can we expect from the the bombshell performer? Of course she isn't going to give up all the details but RiRi did take to Twitter to say, "I get the entire halftime show @ NBA All-Star Weekend!"
But the star power doesn't stop there. Singer Keri Hilson and Bruno Mars have been added to the pre-show line-up, hosted by Nick Cannon. They will perform on a special Magenta T-Mobile carpet, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the cell-phone company.
"T-Mobile will host several events leading up to All-Star that will give our customers the chance to experience the excitement first-hand, either through attending Magenta Carpet or going to one of the games," T-Mobile Vice President of Marketing, John Clelland, told Billboard.com.
The game and pre-show will air on TNT beginning at 5PM EST, while the All-Star Game begins at 8PM.
In other music news,
It seems like federal agents have wiretaps on everyone in the hip-hop community because yet another rapper is the victim of a house raid. Yesterday, the rapper Dorrough was arrested after 10 DEA agents raided his home in search for weapons and drugs.
A source close to the rapper says drugs and weapons were not found on the premises, yet the rapper was still arrested. What he was charged with is not known at press time.
But whatever the charge is, Dorrough plans to defend himself fully. His source said,
“Dorrough has obtained powerful counsel and one of his attorneys is a Senator. Dorrough will make a formal statement with plans to clear his name later this week.”
