Megan Thee Stallion named Gymshark's first celebrity ambassador. 1 week ago October 15, 2026 Megan Thee Stallion has been named Gymshark's first celebrity ambassador, joining the athletic apparel brand's global Athlete program through a multi-year partnership. Announced Tuesday, October 13, the collaboration introduces the Houston rapper as the face of the "Megan Does Gym" campaign, which encourages women to incorporate fitness into their everyday lives. The partnership comes as Megan continues sharing her fitness journey with fans, regularly documenting her workouts and progress on social media. For the campaign, she trains alongside women from Gymshark's fitness community, incorporating weightlifting, Pilates and her signature "Stallion Kicks" into the promotional visuals. "Fitness has become such an important part of my life, so I'm really excited to partner with Gymshark," Megan said in a statement. The Grammy-winning rapper also spoke about the benefits of exercise for physical and mental health, encouraging people to find routines that work for them and remain consistent with their training. Gymshark founder and CEO Ben Francis also welcomed Megan to the brand in a LinkedIn post, explaining that the company wanted its first celebrity partnership to reflect its commitment to fitness rather than simply working with a recognizable name. "I didn't want us to partner with someone just because of their name," he wrote, adding that Megan's dedication to training made her a natural fit for the company. Alongside the campaign, Gymshark has introduced a selection of Megan's favorite workout apparel through its website, where fans can shop pieces featured in the promotional visuals. The partnership also includes an upcoming release of red SoftSense shorts, scheduled to launch October 22.

Snoh Aalegra announces 'Legendary Love' album, shares new single 'I Love You' 9 hours ago October 22, 2026 Max Montgomery Snoh Aalegra has announced her fourth studio album, Legendary Love, arriving November 13 via Stem. The 13-track project will mark her first full-length release in five years, following 2021's Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies. Along with the announcement Wednesday (Oct. 21), Aalegra released her new single "I Love You" and an accompanying music video. The new record features Nile Rodgers on guitar and Raphael Saadiq on bass. Aalegra co-wrote the song with longtime collaborator Joel Compass and co-produced it alongside Compass and Josh Grant. The single also arrived with a performance video directed by Alfred Marroquín. Legendary Love was written and recorded over two and a half years, with the project inspired by a personal connection that never fully developed. Aalegra said the experience influenced both her music and her understanding of love. "I don't think the greatest love stories are measured by how long they last. They're measured by who they ask you to become," she said in a statement. She also explained that working on the album brought her back to the R&B music she grew up listening to. In addition to Rodgers and Saadiq, Aalegra worked with several producers and songwriters throughout the project, including Babyface, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Daniel Caesar, Dahi and Mustafa. The announcement follows the October 14 release of "Karma," which marked Aalegra's first official single since 2023. As previously reported by miixtapechiick.com, she previewed an unreleased song titled "Run Free" earlier this month while launching ALegendaryLove.com. At the time, the website hinted at another album, but Aalegra had not confirmed its title or release date. Legendary Love serves as the follow-up to Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies, which featured appearances from Tyler, The Creator and James Fauntleroy. The album is available to pre-save ahead of its November 13 release.
