Janet Jackson has been ordered to rest her vocal chords which has forced her to cancel some of her upcoming tour dates. Get well Janet! One of Janet's former collaborators, Nelly has been embroiled in an Internet feud with an old acquaintance. The guy who goes by @loosecannonslim on IG(Instagram) has been poking fun at Nelly's current boo, all the while posting and showing his admiration for Nelly's ex, Ashanti. I believe this all started when Nelly allegedly dissed the guy's baby Mother or maybe I have the story mixed up. Who knows? But the whole story is crazy nonetheless! Don't you think? And Wale was on "The Breakfast Club" a few days ago and I finally got around to hearing some of the audio to the shocking interview. In addition to airing out his beef with Meek Mill, he went on to make a statement about suicide if he is not successful. Boy! I thought Wale was successful, obviously not successful as a Kanye West but more successful than a B.O.B. What...

Justin Beiber is ready to sue after pics of him in the nude surfaced. B.O.B. is being called out by some groupie girl who says he was using her to make himself more relevant and she had receipts to show it. B.O.B. who had been dating Sevyn Streeter(song: "Don't Kill The Fun") said he is newly single. Just yesterday there was a video of the two cuddled up during an interview. The ratings for "Empire" have gone down again but not by much. The third episode had 13 million viewers. Last week's episode had 13.7 viewers. Not bad. Last night's episode was actually really good by the way. Rihanna revealed the cover art for her new album, "Anti" which still has no release date and its being executive produced by Kanye West. Well that's all for tonight folks! Thanks for reading! :)

Just A Sign appears on B.O .B.'s album St range Clouds available now.

B.O.B. releases his newest video from his album Strange Clouds which was released this May. 

Ray Bands is the newest video from B.O.B. and its one of my favorite songs from his new album Strange Clouds in stores and online now.

J. Cole insists that he and Rihanna did not make a sextape. He never said they didn't have sex though! Ha! He also denies being dropped from Roc Nation. This of course is all on the heels of him releasing his debut album; "Cole World: The Sideline Story" in two weeks; September 27. Like I said I think the album will get pushed back. I think to put a rest to the Roc Nation rumors; J. Cole leaked out the Jay-Z assisted single; "Mr. Nice Watch" which I just heard and its okay. I'm just not instantly moved by most songs but I will have to give this another listen before giving my final verdict. Kreayshawn; responsible for the single; "Gucci Gucci" has been speaking out on her alleged beef with Rick Ross. The rapstress claims the beef is dead and that it was clearly a misunderstanding. Rick Ross got upset when Kreayshawn issued a freestyle calling Rick Ross "fake". I mean I know it wasn't the first time Rick Ross had heard something like t...

VIBE salutes the current crop of singers and rappers who are ruling the Top 40 radio format. Do you agree? Well I guess in order for you to agree you have to listen to Top 40 radio! When I do listen to radio I listen to the Urban formats. But also being a blogger and lover of music, I keep up with these kind of things obviously. On another note I miss the old VIBE magazine where the covers were more outrageous and the stories were better executed. ---------------- Now playing: Nelly Furtado - Do It via FoxyTunes

Music Biz: Kelly Rowland Admits To Being Dropped From Record Label! Despite constant rumors pitting them against one another, the “Grown Woman” says she and Beyoncé have remained friends. “We were always civilized,” she tells Entertainment Weekly. “That’s what I’m most proud of. From the rumors to the lawsuits to false accusations, it was really tough.” Even when legal issues arose with former members LeToya and LaTavia, the two stayed close. “We were strong because we had each other,” she tells the magazine. “There were times when I couldn’t even be strong enough, so I had B. She was the only thing I knew. She was my only friend.” As for the Destiny’s Child reunion that her former manager Mathew Knowles shut down, Kelly says she would be open to it “if the fans wanted it to happen.” Rowland also admits in the article that her former label Columbia Records dropped her and it was not a mutual split as the press release stated. “In all honesty, they let me go. The records th...
