RZA Wu-Tang Music Isn't for Dancing ... Vegas Residency Will Show Ya!!!

Nobody Dance, Everybody Listen
SiriusXM’s The Tor Guide

RZA and The Wu-Tang Clan are entering the chambers of a Las Vegas residency in 2024 and The Abbott is promising to showcase the talent of his group and hip hop as a whole!!!

In a new interview with Torae for SiriusXM’s Hip-Hop Nation, RZA gave an update on current Wu-Tang music ... which he says has stalled a bit due to schedule conflicts.

However, he says the Clan is sitting on beats supplied by Swizz Beatz, DJ Scratch and their in-house production wiz Mathematics, so the opportunity to create is always there.

RZA also points out he didn't design the early Wu-Tang music for dancing, and you won't see their fans twerking ... instead, he's crafted beats for the crowd to bring the ruckus!!!

RZA's had this thought process for years but says he used to be stingy with the beats because producers were making beats geared toward radio success instead of joints that allow MCs to do what they do best -- make quality raps.

On Tuesday, the legendary 10-man clique announced “Wu-Tang Clan: The Saga Continues … The Las Vegas Residency” will kick off Super Bowl LVIII weekend in February, and will spin the block later in March.

You can dance if you want, but the hosts strongly advise against it.

Chance the Rapper Pro-Twerking On New Track ... Wife Responds: 'Grow Up'

Chance the Rapper seemingly angered his wife by grinding for the world to see during his 30th birthday romp, but the Chicago MC feels he's in the right ... if his new lyrics are to be believed.

On Friday, Chance costarred on his Black Line Fest collaborator Vic Mensa's new music video "$WISH" and burst out the gate with the pro-twerking bars, "Make somethin' shake for me, stop playin', bitch/Fair trade, you get a purse, I get a sandwich/But that ain't fair you gеt to twerk, and that's advantageeee."

Last week, Chance went viral in Jamaica for being heavily twerked upon during Carnival '23 ... which caused a big ruckus because he's been rapping for years about being happily married.

Just as fans thought the coals were cooling off, Chance's wife Kirsten Corley-Bennett resparked the controversy this week by posting a passage from Maya Angelou’s "Letter to My Daughter" book ... highlighting the part about people getting married but still not growing up.

It's probably best they not play "$WISH" around the house ... don't want to pick at old wounds!!!

DANCIN' THE NIGHT AWAY

Kehlani and 'Black Panther' star Letitia Wright turnt up in London last night ... and currently have the Internet buzzing with a mix of fever and FOMO!!!

Video surfaced Tuesday of Kehlani, artist Dreya Mac, DJ Noodles, dancer Emily Imagna and the rest of her clique partying it up inside Fabric London nightclub following her show at O2 Academy Brixton.

The Afrobeats vibes were on 10, and so were Kehlani's dance moves when she backed that thang up on Letitia!!!

PARTYIN' IN THE DJ BOOTH

Kehlani's a single woman and the clip does look rather steamy. That said, the Internet seems to be convinced Letitia is dating model Eva Apio ... who was also in the building setting fire to the roof.

There will be plenty more opps for club hops soon.

Guess Who This Little Dorothy Turned Into!

Before this girl with braids stole the spotlight in one of THE most classic romance films of all time, she was just another wanna-be little Dorothy following the yellow brick roads ... of New York City that is.

This jolly gal eventually refined her spaghetti arms and won the Mirrorball trophy on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" back in 2010, which would come to no surprise for most, considering her hungry eyes for always wanting to be noticed.

Known for her curly, brown hair ... this little girl with braids can still be seen today rockin' those pigtails, and she's in her early 60s!

Can you guess who she is?

UFC's Mackenzie Dern Bikini Twerk Sesh ... w/ Hot Brazilian Singer!

TANNING AND TWERKING

Work hard, Twerk harder!

Here's UFC star Mackenzie Dern blowing off some steam on a boat in Mexico -- dancing her ass off with a pretty famous Brazilian singer!

Hey, it's Cinco de Mayo -- why not enjoy yourself, right?!

Mackenzie is coming off a dominant victory over Nina Nunes at "UFC on ABC" back in April ... extending her win streak to 4 in a row!

The 28-year-old is the #5 ranked UFC strawweight becoming a legitimate title threat ... with sites set on challenging Rose Namajunas for the belt one day.

But, for now, she's earned the right to party -- and she's doing just that on a boat in Cancun with her friend Lexa!

FYI, 26-year-old Lexa is pretty huge in Brazil -- she even had her own reality show on MTV a few years back.

Mackenzie is married to Brazilian surfer Wesley Santos. They have one daughter together. But, neither Wes nor the kid seem to be on this trip, which appears to be a fun girls' getaway!

So ... enjoy the time off (and don't forget to hydrate!).

Dallas Restaurant Owner Biz is Good After Twerking Controversy ... I'm Not Changing a Thing

REAL TALK

The old adage "There's no such thing as bad publicity" is ringing true for TRUE Kitchen + Kocktails ... because all's very well after its recent twerking controversy.

The Dallas restaurant's owner, Kevin Kelley, tells TMZ ... the joint's been inundated with requests to dine there since he gained some notoriety for his anti-twerking speech earlier this week.

He says TRUE's been a reservation-only business since they opened 5 months ago, and they're all booked up now for the foreseeable future. More importantly, Kelley says sales have remained strong in wake of what went down ... and he has no plans to change anything up.

The owner tells us ... "I'm glad the public has had a chance to decide what they do and don’t want in their restaurants. The effect on our restaurant has been overwhelmingly positive."

He adds that former Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant's been a supporter, and says ... "We’ve received an outpouring of support that we did not anticipate online and in person. This lets us know the public believes in our vision for the restaurant and they will support a concept working to fill a void in our communities."

KEEP IT "CLASSY"
TMZ.com

In case you missed it ... Kelley received both praise and backlash for his stance against twerking in his restaurant, and doubled down -- it's just something he doesn't want at his establishment.

It's not the only thing about TRUE that has sparked disagreement. The latest controversy is over the restaurant's dress code, but once again ... we urge you to take a look and judge for yourself.

TAKIN' IT OFF
TMZ.com

DiMarco's got a 3 and a half week gig with the bare-chested studs, where he'll be the first deaf Chippendales dancer ever. Pretty cool!

Even cooler ... the vet Chippendales dancers are all learning sign language, which will be incorporated into the show.

Octomom The STRIPPER Pics

Octomom Nadya Suleman stripped down Friday night like it was her job ... because it was ... and TMZ has obtained the pics to prove it.

After months of anticipation, Octo finally had her first gig as a stripper and hit the stage at Playhouse Gentleman's Club in Hallandale, FL for TWO WHOLE DANCES!!!

Even though her time on stage was short, the mother of 14 went all out -- using costumes, props and we're guessing a gym ... cause girl didn't look half-bad.

Octo went with a couple classic stripper numbers -- dancing as a leather-clad dominatrix (set to Rihanna's song "S&M") and then a naughty, lollipop sucking school girl.

Looks like she's already a pro. Yay?
