Ja Rule
Legendary rapper Ja Rule was in Calgary to perform at the Stampede, and he visited one of the most incredible spots in town.
The music icon, known for hits like âAlways On Time,â âLivinâ It Up,â and âMesmerize,â popped into Major Tom for a meal.
Bryce Vine
Viral sensation, singer, and rapper Bryce Vine was in Calgary to perform at the Stampede, and he visited Bridgette Bar, one of the best restaurants in YYC.
The musician, known for his massive hits like âSour Patch Kids,â âLa La Land,â and âDrew Barrymore,â popped in for a meal with friends.
Chainsmokers and T.I.
@thechainsmokersMy bad T.I. wonât happen again⌠unless?⏠original sound – The Chainsmokers
This strange interaction happened at Calgary’s Please Donât Tell club.
Things got a tad heated for a little bit between the two celebrities, and Chainsmokers’ Andrew Taggart talked about it in a TikTok video he posted.
âT.I. just literally punched me in the face,â Taggart said in a video while sitting in the backseat of a car.
âI gave him a kiss on the cheek. It was totally my fault,â he added.
It seemed like everything cooled off, T.I. let it go, and Taggart had good spirits about the whole situation.
âHe was like, âDonât do that,â I was like, âOkay.â He pushed me off I was like, âMy bad.’ I was like, âOkay, Iâm sorry,â and he was like, âAlright, okay. Weâre good.’â
Taggart had called it the âweirdest interaction ever.â
A Boogie, Flo Rida, and Big Sean
