Jhene Aiko & Big Sean Reunite For A New Single Reminding Us All That Their Love Was Poppin AF

The internet recently learned that Big Sean made Jhene Aiko orgasm nine times in one day and all I have to say is, Lord I see what you've done for others…and I humbly come to you hoping that I, too, can receive this blessing in this lifetime.
Friday, Jhene Aiko dropped her latest single, "None Your Concern", which featured a surprise, must-hear verse from her (ex?) lover Big Sean that gave us all of the feels and got our captions ready AF for winter. The couple, who was linked romantically on-and-off for three years, called it quits in March; but according to the lyrics to their latest singles, they're having a pretty hard time staying away from one another.
Along with the soundtrack to every hopeless romantic's life, there were a few other bops that were released recently that you need to add to your playlist ASAP and you know xo has you covered, sis. Scroll below for 8 songs you need to slide into your rotation expeditiously.
Jhené Aiko - "None Of Your Concern"
Call me ambitious, but I'm seeing a TWENTY88 reunion coming soon and I'm hoping that these two are collaborating on more than just a new album *insert emoji eyes*.
Megan Thee Stallion x VickeeLo – "Ride Or Die"
Summer is long-gone but the block is still hot and Megan Thee Stallion and VickeeLo's new track for the Queen and Slim soundtrack is proof that it's not time to put our knees up for winter retirement just yet.
Doja Cat - "Cyber Sex"
Earlier this year, Doja Cat showed love to our cellulite and reminded us that we are juicy AF and last week, she released her debut album, Hot Pink, with features from Smino, Gucci Mane, and Tyga.
Tory Lanez and T-Pain - "Jerry Sprunger"
Friday, Tory Lanez released his highly-anticipated album, Chixtape 5, and enlisted some of our favorite artists to remix pretty much every song from our childhood.
Ama Lou - "This Town"
After being featured on the Creed II soundtrack, this British singer is making her mark in the industry alongside other U.K. artists like Ella Mai, Jorja Smith, and Mahalia.
KAROL G, Nicki Minaj - "Tusa"
Nicki Minaj may have reneged on her retirement, but we aren't complaining about it. Serving up a dose of Afro-Latina energy you needed today, Spanish artist, Karol G collaborated with our fave for their latest bilingual single, "Tusa".
"Guarding The Gates" (From "Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack")
In her first solo single in five years, Lauryn Hill also decided to lace the Queen and Slim soundtrack with a dose of her flavor. Although the song has been performed live a number of times by the legendary songwriter, the studio-version was debuted for the first time on the soundtrack.

Swipe Right For Sisterhood: Reginae Carter Talks Teaming Up With BLK To Make Friendships Front & Center
You know the vibes: dating apps aren’t just for finding romance anymore—at least not for Gen Z! As young people continue to redefine connection, BLK, the leading dating app for Black singles, is shaking things up with the launch of Social Mode. The new feature allows users to toggle between dating and platonic connections. Yep, you read that right—friendship is now just as easy to find as love.
To kick off this game-changing launch, BLK teamed up with TV personality and socialite Reginae Carter for the ultimate Girls’ Night In, proving that sisterhood is just as important as romance. The exclusive event was a celebration of the new feature and the power of Black women coming together to uplift one another.
“Your circle is everything,” Reginae shares with a smile, and she’s not wrong. She’s all about creating spaces where we can come together, let our hair down, and vibe with like-minded women. “We deserve spaces to meet, uplift, and vibe with each other. BLK is making that happen,” she adds.
A New Era for Friendships—Social Mode Is Here!
Gen Z is all about building meaningful connections, whether it’s with a date or a new brunch buddy. That’s why Social Mode is such a big deal. Research shows that 65% of Gen Z values friendships just as much as romantic relationships. With BLK’s new feature, users can easily toggle between “Dating” and “Social,” opening up a world of platonic connections—no swiping right required.

Reginae Carter Hosts the Ultimate Girls’ Night In—Powered by BLK Social Mode
What better way to show Social Mode in action than with an exclusive Girls’ Night In, hosted by Reginae? The event brought together top influencers, tastemakers, and press for a night of luxury, self-care, and real talk about love, sex, and relationships. From tarot readings to perfume-making and signature cocktails, the evening embodied the “soft life” vibe that many Black women are embracing in 2025—peaceful, intentional, and full of joy.
Guests mingled, laughed, and bonded over the importance of finding a tribe that supports you. It wasn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!)—it was about creating a circle of inspiring, strong women. “We need to stick together. We need to be each other’s village,” Reginae says, emphasizing the power of community over competition.
Sisterhood: The Real MVP
For Reginae, it’s all about friendship—and not just the surface-level kind. “We need friends who keep it real with us. The ones who can tell us when we’re right, when we’re wrong, and when we need to calm down,” she says. As someone who navigates the spotlight, she’s got the best of both worlds: friends who understand the grind and those who can give her an honest, grounded perspective.
Her advice for building strong, intentional friendships? “Be confident in yourself and know your worth,” she explains. “Also, hurt people hurt people, so make sure you’re coming from a good place when you’re building relationships. It’s not always about being nice—sometimes it’s about being real.”
Reginae couldn’t have summed it up better: “When you have the right circle, the right tribe, everything just feels easier. And that’s exactly what BLK is giving us—space to connect, laugh, and grow with each other.”
To learn more about BLK’s Social Mode, download or update the BLK app in the App Store or Google Play Store today. Who knows? You might just find your new bestie or your next brunch crew.
