Jay-Zâs no stranger to investing in tech. The business magnate is now backing French audio tech brand, Devialet, which recently launched wireless earbuds, Gemini.
According to CNBC, the product is a direct rival to the Apple AirPods. At $299, Gemini carries a more premium price tag, but the features are worth it. The earbuds tout noise cancellation, patented technology that adjusts to movements from the wearer, eight hours of battery life, and wireless charging. â âTwo years ago, we were struggling to decide which product we would want to launch next,â Devialet CEO Franck Lebouchard said in an interview. âThe reason why we made that decision on true wireless was really around offering a great sound experience to many people, not only audiophiles.â

SIgn Up Beyoncé dropped a giant clue for all those people speculating she's pregnant again -- and they're gonna be disappointed.
Bey raised a glass of bubbly for a photo during her family vaca in Italy, and then posted the pic ... no doubt a not-so-subtle response to all the baby buzz. Shots of Beyoncé in a one-piece swimsuit earlier this week fueled speculation Blue Ivy was going to become an older sister. Besides the champagne ... consider the fact that riding around on boat after boat wouldn't pair well with morning sickness. We can already hear the conspiracy theorists -- "She's not drinking the champagne!" Always leave 'em guessing. Khloe Kardashian graces the cover of Complex magazine.

In a very vague tweet earlier today, Yeezy broke radio silence on Twitter, announcing that he'll be changing the title of his upcoming album's name from the previous So Help Me God, announced back in March to simply SWISH.
Besides the info given on Twitter by the man himself, not much else is known on what created the change of heart. It could possibly be a Nike sneak diss, or perhaps someone in the Illuminati made a blood-oath pact with Yeezy (/sarcasm). Or maybe it's just another one of his genius marketing ploys. I'm sure we'll all find out soon enough.
Rihanna stars in her very first Puma ad since being named creative director for the brand.
Moreso than ever, brands are looking for ambassadors that have a large reach on social media, and if you're looking for Instagram followings, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Rihanna. RiRi was named creative director of the clothing brand last year, but hadn't actually appeared in an official advertisement for the company until today. Decked out in all Puma everything, from her visor to her shoes, Rihanna should help Puma in its quest to compete in the recent resurgence of athletic leisure gear. Puma tweeted out the image this morning, introducing a brand new shoe in the process. You can have a look at what is the first in what will surely be countless adds featuring the singer over the next year. Meanwhile we're still waiting for R8 to surface.
