Fresh off her appearance at Sunday’s Academy Awards as part of a James Bond theme song tribute, BLACKPINK’s LISA bonded with Jimmy Kimmel over their shared experience of being flown up into the rafters on wires at the Oscars. “It seemed so elegant and graceful, but it’s kind of scary right?” asked Kimmel on Tuesday night’s (March 4) Jimmy Kimmel Live!, recalling the agita (and discomfort) he felt while flying over the stage during one of his hosting stints on the awards show.
“It was really scary,” LISA smiled. “I was like, ‘I’m not comfortable doing this!” The singer said producers repeatedly checked in to make sure she felt good about being lowered to the stage in a harness as she sang Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Live and Let Die” as part of a medley that also had Doja Cat covering Shirley Bassey’s “Diamond Are Forever” and RAYE’s take on Adele’s “Skyfall.” While Kimmel complained about gravity “squeezing everything down” if you know what he means, LISA said she couldn’t really feel her legs.

“Those were the least of my problems,” Kimmel joked.
The BLACKPINK singer also talked about her well-received turn as Mook on the current season of HBO’s The White Lotus, noting that many fans have speculated that because her resort worker character is so sweet on the series she might turn out to be the killer. “Oh… am I supposed to tell you that?” she responded haltingly, with a coquettish glint in her eye. “Legally you should not, but I would appreciate it if you did,” Kimmel said, knowing that his ploy to squeeze some spoilers about the tightly-held plot of the show was going nowhere.
“I think she’s a sweet girl,” LISA said of the character whose name means “pearl” in Thai before Kimmel explained the not-as-nice meaning of the word in America. Kimmel also wondered if during the cast’s regular karaoke sessions on set if the crew or extras freaked out when they saw the K-pop superstar stepping up to the mic. “They don’t care!,” LISA said. “I’m just sitting in the corner of the room cheering them, hyping them up,” she said, explaining that she didn’t sing during the sessions, but was more into dancing.
“I feel weird for me to grab the mic and sing karaoke,” she smiled. “[There’s] a lot of pressure.” As for who was the best karaoke singer in the cast, LISA said for sure it was the lone returning actor from season two: horny masseuse Natasha Rothwell. “Oh, she’s so good!” LISA said.
She also discussed the concept behind her just-released solo album, Alter Ego, explaining that while recording it in Los Angeles she tried her hand at recording songs in a variety of styles, all of which she ended up loving. “That’s why I called this album Alter Ego and [I] have five different characters [on it],” she said of Roxi, Kiki, Sunni, Speedi and the main character, Vixi.
These days, she said, Vixi is the one that is closest to her actual personality, though, like Speedi, she loves to drive fast in her car.

LiAngelo Ball is about to shake up the streets again with another song that can go viral.
His older brother, Lonzo Ball, recently dropped a behind-the-scenes clip of Gelo’s music video, where you see Gelo swerving around the corner, all smooth with it, while GloRilla is vibing out beside him. Yes, GloRilla and Gelo collaboration looks to be on the way. This was not on any of our bingo cards for 2025.
The clip got the internet talking, teasing a track that blends Gelo’s chill flow with GloRilla’s high-energy, in-your-face style. Let’s see how that goes. This collab isn’t out of nowhere, though. Back in January, Lonzo was showing off Gelo’s music to his teammates in the Chicago Bulls locker room, and it looked like the song they were bumping was the same one with GloRilla on it.
The chorus is straight heat, with Gelo spitting, “Baby, can you please shake that a** for me.” That sounds like something straight out of GloRilla’s wheelhouse, right? Glo’s known for her bold bars and unapologetic energy, so it’s the perfect match. Gelo’s been steadily pushing his music, and this collab could be his going 2/2 moment. The first hit being, ‘Tweaker’ whether you like it or not the song made some noise. Following that is this next single.
Lonzo’s been riding for him, and the support from his big bro, along with the growing buzz around this track, is only gonna help take Gelo to the next level. With that catchy hook and the chemistry between Gelo and Glo, this track is set to be a whole vibe, and it might just land Gelo his next big hit. The streets are definitely waiting for this one.
