Sexyy headlined the summer’s biggest hip-hop tour, the “Sexyy 4 President Tour,” and made waves internationally with a festival run. She also launched entrepreneurial ventures with Ed Hardy and her lifestyle and cosmetics line, Northside Princess. Her accolades include winning “Best Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist” at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards, alongside nominations for “Album of the Year” and “Song of the Year.” With new music and projects on the horizon in 2025, Sexyy Red continues her meteoric rise as one of hip-hop’s most exciting and unapologetic voices.
ABOUT BRUNO MARS:
Fifteen-time GRAMMY® Award winner and thirty-three-time GRAMMY Award nominee Bruno Mars is a celebrated singer, songwriter, producer, and musician who is one of the best-selling artists of all time and now continuously the number-one most listened-to artist on Spotify. With recent hits like “APT.” with ROSÉ and “Die With A Smile” with Lady Gaga—the latter earning him two nominations for “Song Of The Year” and “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards—Mars has celebrated another extraordinary year in music. Among his robust list of accolades, some of which include “Album of the Year” for 24K Magic at the 60th Annual GRAMMY® Awards and “Record of The Year” for Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open” at the 64th Annual GRAMMY® Awards, Mars has held the number one global song for more weeks than any artist in 2024 with both “APT.” and “Die With A Smile.”
Global icons ROSÉ and Bruno Mars have released a new single “APT.” A note from ROSÉ going into detail about the song’s conception: “‘APT.’ is actually my favorite Korean drinking game that I play with my friends back home. It’s so simple, puts a smile on your face, and breaks the ice at any party,” ROSÉ explains. “One night in the studio I taught my crew how to play the game. Everyone was fascinated, especially when I started the chant, so we played around with it and I said we should make a song out of it… and after Bruno joined the track, the rest became history!”
Absolutely addicted to this tune!!
Here’s a quick explanation how the Drinking Game works for those who don’t know!
