Azealia's chicken coop T.I. is trying to put a stop to his divorce, a month after Tiny Harris filed. T.I. even put up a cryptic meme on his social media in regards to all the media speculation that has dogged the couple in recent days. What do you think? Should Tiny call off her divorce? Is T.I. going to do right now after 15 years? I personally think she should continue with the divorce proceedings. My friend and I were texting about the impeding divorce and my friend said T.I. is "on the market" and I replied that he was on the "market" when he was married!  Brandy's songwriter, TC; who is or was a huge Brandy fan prior to working with her blasted her on social media yesterday. He made light of how Brandy was allegedly upset at him for taking a picture with Beyoncé. He also went on to say that he was done with Brandy. After a blog posted the tweets, Brandy must of got wind of it and immediately defused the situation. She posted a video of her TC ru...

Drake has a new love interest. There have been pictures floating around of J-Lo and Drake all cozy and now reports are confirming that the two are dating. They've also been reported to be working on music namely for J-Lo's Epic debut album. Of course everyone is up in arms about this relationship but I'm not surprised by it one single bit. What do you think about J-Lo and Drake dating?  Queen Latifah was the victim of car theft when her Mercedes Benz was stolen while she was at a gas station. The whole incident is bizarre to me. Her car was later found with three guys standing around it, however they didn't have anything to do with the crime. You can see Queen Latifah starring in the new FOX TV show, "Star" premiering next month.  Young Thug has been sued for $18,000 dollars for not paying his chauffeur bill. That's all I know about that but it is funny how Young Thug has been in all this trouble lately. Maybe its karma.

Young Thug in trouble. Do you all remember the video that surfaced of Young Thug at an airport dissing the airport employees? The video surfaced like two weeks ago. I don't recall what all the commotion was about but Young Thug's mother was so up in my arms, she had him go back and apologize to the airport employees. Well now Young Thug has went and got himself arrested. Some say its karma for his treatment of the airport employees. Do you believe in karma? Young Thug got arrested a couple of days ago by the way so this isn't exactly up-to-date news but I figured since I had a picture of his album cover, I'd talk about his arrest.  Speaking of Young Thug, he and Future have collaborated and Future shared a snippet of the track on his Snapchat account. Judging on how both rappers release music pretty frequently, we should be hearing this collaboration very soon. Are you here for a Future and Young Thug song?  While I'm on the subject of songs, Remy Ma has ...

Got some tea for you all! So the word on the blogs is that Tiny Harris, T.I.'s wife has filed for divorce. The couple has been married for six years and share 3 kids together. It was reported awhile back that T.I. and Tiny were living under separate roofs. Drama has plagued the relationship in recent months and over the years. Stories of infidelity, open relationships, and social media squabbles would also plague the couple. Most recently, T.I. was upset with Tiny after she was pictured dancing and taking pictures with T.I's nemesis, boxer; Floyd Mayweather. T.I. has been caught with his pants down when it was revealed that he was messing with a one of TazAngel girls(a famous female escort ring and that's putting it nicely). This divorce could get nasty as things normally got nasty between the two when they were together. Sheesh!  Rapper Young Jeezy has gotten engaged over the Holiday weekend. I was surprised because I didn't know he was in a relationship. For s...

Kelly's going down under Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to my readers, followers, and supporters. I hope you all had a fun and safe Holiday. Of course I have some music news for you so here it goes! Kelly Rowland has been tapped to be the fourth judge on Australia's version of "The Voice". In a statement Rowland says "Australia is one of her favorite places". Someone said in the comments of where this story originated from and said Kelly keeps a job and I agree. Kelly stays working! Congrats Kelly!  Speaking of Kelly, R. Kelly is in hot water again, this time for running off with a man's daughter. The daughter in question is 19 years old and has been working with R. Kelly on music. It was a report that surfaced awhile back saying R. Kelly had a 19 year old girlfriend and I take it, this is she. I mean this is not news because we all know that R. Kelly likes young(er) girls. But the father is upset that R. Kelly is messing with his daughter. ...

Mariah's ex in hospital Nick Cannon is in the hospital after a Lupus outbreak. The TV host and ex-husband to Mariah Carey was seen in hospital after pictures surfaced. Cannon stated that he would be spending the holidays in the hospital. There is no word yet if Mariah has taken the kids to see their father. I hope so though since they typically all spend holidays together as a family. Get well Nick! Speaking of Nick, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill are reportedly still together and not broken up as its been indicated on social media. Frankly I'm sick of their squabbles playing out on social media. I know people get so excited at the though of Nicki breaking up with Meek but it looks like its not happening...again. Maybe if you all continue to pray, it will happen one day. Ha!  Big Sean has revealed that he will release a new album, "I Decided" on February 3. His album is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The new song "Moves" is now available to str...

#throwbackpic2014 Word on the street is that Drake and Jennifer Lopez are dating. Drake was recently seen attending J-Lo's concert and he was very into the show based on the video that surfaced. What do you all think about J-Lo and Drake dating?  Speaking of J-Lo, her nemesis; Mariah Carey appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" and she threw more shade at J-Lo insisting she "still doesn't know her". She also threw shade at Demi Lovato for statements she made about Mariah a few months ago. Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus also caught wind of Mariah's legendary shade. It wasn't all shade. Mariah showed love to Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and surprisingly Britney Spears. I know Mariah is known for her shade and that's fine but I'm over the whole Mariah and J-Lo feud.. It seems to me that J-Lo is over it but Mariah is still bitter over the past. If you all don't know that story, Mariah accused her ex; Tommy Motolla, the...

Azealia at it again Azealia Banks is at again but this time for good reason. It seems that Nicki Minaj threw some shade at Azealia via her new video game, "Empire". In the video game, there is a caption between two characters in which one characters asks if they heard the "Fan2Sea" album. The other character replies that the album is "loud" and "annoying". So when I was at work this morning, I get a message from my friend with this long paragraph from Azealia Banks blasting Nicki Minaj and I thought where did this come from? Well it turns out it was from the video game caption that was subtle shade at Azealia Banks' "Fantasea" mixtape that was released a few years back. When I say Azealia went in on Nicki, she went in. She blasted Nicki on everything from her fake booty to losing some weight in her neck. It was so crazy but typical of Azealia. I'm not mad at Azealia this time since Nicki threw shade first. Usually its Azeal...

Beauty is only skin deep Cee Lo Green of NBC's "The Voice" is making headlines after a surveillance video surfaced of him in the studio talking on a phone and it exploding and him dropping to the ground. It's being reported that the phone was one manufactured by Samsung. Samsung has faced harsh criticism in recent months after their Galaxy Note phones began exploding and causing fires. There has been no word yet from Samsung in regards to the incident. No one is sure if the phone he's using was actually a Samsung either. It's all just speculation. I would hate for it to be an Apple phone though. I do hope Cee Lo is okay though. Lil' Kim is back in the spotlight once again for accusations that she bleached her skin. There was a picture of Lil' Kim floating around with VH1 reality TV stars Yandy Smith and Kimbella and an unidentified guy. In the picture, Kim looked really pale or she just had on makeup that resembled that of a geisha. When the pi...

Nicki's new record Nicki Minaj sets a new record! She just scored her 70th Hot 100 hit. This week, her new single, "Black Beatles" debuts at #65 giving Nicki her 70th chart hit. Aretha Franklin holds the distinction of the most Hot 100 hits with 73. Something tells me Nicki Minaj will top Aretha next year. What do you think?  Speaking of Nicki Minaj, another female, rapper Remy Ma has been drawing criticism from some who insists she is throwing shade at Nicki in various raps. One minute Remy is congratulating Nicki then the next it seems Remy is shading her. I personally think its just the name of the game. I think its a friendly competition if anything. But we know Nicki is going to throw a few bars Remy's way very soon. Remy contends if she doesn't say your name then its not about you. But how many rappers actually say that and mean it? What do you think? Do you think Remy is going at Nicki? Remy went on a social media post binge with memes of lyrics and...

The tea is hot! Rick Ross was performing at a concert when he shouted out Kanye and made claims that Kanye's "breakdown" was simply that of a publicity stunt. Could be true? But I still think there is something seriously wrong with Kanye. I see he is walking around with the blond hair looking like Kid Cudi and Frank Ocean but hey whatever makes him happy. Do you think Kanye is faking it until he makes it?  Mary J. Blige has been going through a bitter and very public divorce. Her ex-husband Kendu Issacs apparently has some possessions of Mary's and he refuses to give them back. They include 2 Grammys and 2 Mercedes Benzes. Mary claims that she wants her Grammys back and he can keep one of the Mercedes. It's amazing to me how greedy this man is being when he's the one whose done Mary wrong. Give Mary her shit back Kendu!  Chris Brown has announced that he will be releasing a new single soon called "Party" featuring Usher and Gucci Mane. Chr...

Mariah gets a special visitor Mariah Carey got a special visit from Beyoncé during her Christmas concert at the Beacon Theater in New York. The two posed for photos which later made the social media rounds and a second picture this time with both ladies and their kids. People poked fun at the fact that Beyoncé brought Blue Ivy, her daughter to play with Mariah's kids but won't bring Blue Ivy around North West, Kanye Wests' daughter.  Speaking of Kanye West, the rapper was seen meeting up with president elect Donald Trump at the Trump Tower. The move has shocked everyone and Kanye took to Twitter to express his reasons for meeting Donald Trump. Kanye tweeted that the two talked about violence in Chicago and curriculum among other things. Kanye also hashtagged "#2024" which I'm guessing is the year he plans to run for office as well. If Trump can win the presidential election with no experience, anything is possible from here on out.  I read a headlin...

"Damn" Trina! Trina posted a live video to her Facebook account on the set of her new video "Damn". The video will serve as the first single and video from her upcoming album. Trina said the song will be released on January 6 and it features Canadian singer Tory Lanez who was also present in the live video. The live video was from a club in Philly where Tory is currently touring at. No word on when Trina's new album will start but I am happy that Trina is moving right along and putting out her long awaited follow up to "Amazin" which was released back in 2010 believe it or not.  Rihanna's new single, "Love On The Brain" has just reached the top 20 on the Pop chart and it sets a new record for Rihanna. "Love" becomes Rihanna's 40th top 20 single! Congrats Rihanna! Rihanna was recently nominated for Grammy's and next month will mark her album, "Anti" 1 year anniversary. Can you believe its already been a ...

Trouble in Paradise Based on various social media posts, one of Hip-Hop's premiere couples, Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill may be on the outs. Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have both released cryptic and subliminal posts that seem to take shots at one another. Meek Mill has since deleted his Instagram page before posting a picture of Chanel sandals. Nicki Minaj also posted a picture of a pair of Chanel sandals with Beyoncé song lyrics as her caption. Some feel this may simply be a publicity stunt to drum attention for Nicki's upcoming project. What do you think? Did you all see the posts?  Remember the report that had alleged that Ne-Yo would perform at the upcoming presidential inauguration? Well Ne-Yo has come out and said that the report is untrue. Another singer known for performing at inaugurations, the legendary; Aretha Franklin commented on whether she'd perform if asked and her response was "We'll see." I would call that an interesting response. Then ag...

Ne-Yo Trump. Ne-Yo says he would be down to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration. Formerly he was against Donald Trump but now he is willing to take part in the inauguration. The word is that no A-list artists are willing to perform at the inauguration next year. It's likely because artists are afraid of facing backlash for such thing but clearly Ne-Yo doesn't mind the backlash since he gets it occasionally anyway. What do you all think about Ne-Yo performing at the inauguration?  J. Cole just released his new album, "4 Your Eyez Only" and listeners have noted the similarity one of Cole's songs and one from Bryson Tiller titled, "Exchange". Well the producers of these songs are in a feud over social media. One producer claims he had the original beat which was for Cole first and another producer copied it and gave the similar sounding one to Tiller. I mean this isn't the first time something like this has happened between the producers....

Beyoncé leads Grammy nods The Grammy award nominations were revealed yesterday and Beyoncé, Adele, Drake, and Rihanna scores multiple nominations. Congrats to all the nominees. I could really care less about the Grammys this year or for the last few year to be honest. It's always the same artists getting nominated. I was however glad to see Remy Ma get her first nomination in 11 years and I was also glad to see R&B trio King get a nomination. If you don't know who King is you should look them up. They're a trio based out of L.A. and their debut album is titled, "We Are King". Speaking of Rihanna and Beyoncé, Rihanna had to clear up a post she liked on Instagram of a fan blasting Beyoncé's multiple Grammy wins and how Rihanna should of been nominated for Album of the Year. Rihanna responded after a backlash and said that she simply liked the post without really reading it and added that people shouldn't pit women against each other. People are p...

Happy Birthday to Jay Z Happy Birthday Jay Z! The rapper turns 47 today! Speaking of Jay Z, I wonder what happened to that joint album he and Beyoncé were supposed to be doing? Hey! You never know they may secretly drop it this month. There were rumors that it was dropping this month.  Two artists; J. Cole and Trina have secretly released or revealed projects this month already. Do we think Jay and Bey will? Speaking of albums, Mary J. Blige is supposed to release her new album, "Strength of a Woman" this month and I hope its good. I'm not feeling her new single, "Thick of It". Are you?  Singer Jeremih has been kicked off the Summer's Over tour that he was co-headlining with PartyNextDoor. The two have been at odds for the last week or so and the most bizarre things have been happening since the tour tour. Jeremih reportedly walked off a stage during a performance and said "Fuck y'all" to a crowd(I believe that was apart of this tour). ...

Trina surprises fans. Today is Trina's birthday and she gifted her fans with a new project titled, "Dynasty 6". The project contains 7 songs and was released through Trina's own imprint, Rockstarr Music Group. The project is available on all music streaming services. Will you be checking this out?  50 Cent is not surprised by Kanye West's recent meltdown and hospitalization. The two rappers were once rivals due to the fact that they released albums on the same day years ago. It was more of a friendly rival which benefited both artists at the time. Speaking of Kanye, there are reports that say that Kanye has been on medication and he hasn't been taking it and that led to his recent meltdown. What do you think? Do you think Kanye is medicated or needs to be medicated? We all know now Kanye has been released from the hospital and hopefully he will continue to take care of himself.  VH1 recorded their "Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night" last night...
