As I suspected Beyoncé reportedly gave birth to twin babies earlier in the week. The babies however remain hospitalized because of a "minor issue". Congrats to Beyoncé and family and hope her babies have a speedy recovery. So in the never ending saga between Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj, both ladies performed at a concert in ATL(Atlanta) with Remy Ma taking the stage first and Nicki Minaj later on. A video surfaced of Remy performing "Lean Back" and Nicki performing "No Frauds" among other songs. Many speculated that since both women were on the same bill, they were likely to clash with one another but Remy confirmed that by the time Nicki performed, she was long gone. Remy took to her social media this morning poking fun at the situation and Nicki as well. I like both ladies as I've said before but I feel that Nicki is the one that is keeping this feud alive. The only reason why Remy keeps saying things is because Nicki keeps throwing shots at Remy on va...

So Trina posted a picture on her Instagram with Ariane(who is one of the cast members of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta"). Ariane is not a regular cast member but a "friend of" who makes occasional guest spots on the show. Well once K. Michelle saw the picture of Trina and Ariane, she warned Trina to watch out for Ariane. K. Michelle is referring to when Ariane said that K. Michelle left her standing outside with no ride. This was seen in the last season of the show and K. Michelle disputed the claims and has been upset ever since. In other news, there was a mysterious sign floating around in L.A. and some other major other cities. The sign read "4:44" and many thought it eluded to Jay Z releasing a new album or that was the time Beyoncé is rumored to give birth. Well it turns out that everyone was wrong as the sign pertained to a movie that will be on Jay Z's Tidal and Sprint. I'm not sure why people always think that Jay Z and Beyoncé posting sign...

I saw on Twitter that Beyoncé's team sent a letter to a fan who ran a website selling unauthorized merchandise. The fan who is allegedly said to be very young pleaded with Beyoncé and her team to not pursue legal action. I believe her team was simply telling her to stop selling the merchandise but she could still have her fan site. The reason being is Beyoncé's name is trademarked so if you are going to use her name(for say like a clothing design where her name appears), you have to get permission. Now who you go through to do all that, I don't know but because I'm not in the business of designing clothes. So Remy Ma was caught throwing shade at Nicki Minaj via a Instagram post posted by DJ Clue(that's a name I haven't heard in awhile). The event is for Nicki Minaj's homecoming celebration and in the comments there was a screen shot of Remy Ma saying "home going" and if you all know what "home going" mean, its another name for dying. Ba...

Beyoncé had a push party(baby shower) yesterday with several friends and family by her side. Beyoncé's due date and sex of her twins are unknown has seen much speculation. Nicki Minaj will be opening tonight's Billboard Music Awards with what is being labeled a "epic 9 minute performance". Nicki will perform a medley of her hits and I'm sure "No Frauds" will be included for good measure. :) Drake is also said to be performing among others. The Billboard Music Awards air tonight at 8 P.M. EST(Eastern Standard Time) on ABC(I believe). Snoop Dogg says he's putting out a gospel album. Why? I don't know. But hey if it makes you money then so be it. Busta Rhymes just celebrated his 45th birthday. Our 90s rappers are getting old! Speaking of Busta, he hasn't put out new music in awhile that I'm aware of. You can hear him spit some bars on Faith Evans' "The King & I" album which is currently #1 on iTunes R&B chart. Go Fait...

Beyoncé is releasing "How To Make Lemonade" a box set of her hit album which contains a 600 book with a vinyl album. The box set retails for $300. While the price tag is ridiculous I do commend Beyoncé for always creating memorabilia for her fans to cherish for years down the road unlike other artists. Iggy Azalea is gearing up to release her new single, "Switch". It comes on the heels of her single, "Mo Bounce" which came and went faster than a meteor. Good luck to her! An Xscape biopic is in the works for the Atlanta quartet and apparently Jermaine Dupri and the group are butting heads. I don't know the whole story but its funny because when Xscape mentioned they were reuniting I didn't hear a peep from JD. Now that all these offers are on the table from Mona Scott Young and others, JD must want a piece of the piece as well. Janet Jackson has announced that she will be heading back out on the road after cancelling her tour last year to have a b...

Beyoncé has reached a 100 million followers on Instagram and is the 4th person to do so. Beyoncé recently made an appearance out with her cousin during a birthday party. In other music news, sides are being chose once again when it comes to the feud between Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj. Reality TV stars Premadonna and Tommie("Love & Hip Hop Atlanta") have dogged Remy's former friend, Rah Ali for jumping ship to Nicki Minaj. Rah and Nicki claim to have been friends prior to the falling out between Remy and Nicki. Rah makes an appearance in Nicki's video for "No Frauds" which debuted earlier today. So whose side are you on? Nicki or Remy? While you all decide on that, Chris Brown's ex; Karrueche is being blasted by Brown's lawyer. He claims that Karrueche is simply using Brown's name in the press to garner attention and has yet to serve Brown with the restraining order. Karrueche's own people shot back denying the claims.

Some music news for you all today! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Beyoncé is being eyed for the new "The Lion King" movie. Mary J. Blige says she did not ask for her vocals to be removed from Faith Evans' debut album contrary to rumors. Faith Evans was on "The Breakfast Club" awhile back and said she received a call that Mary wanted her vocals removed from the song and Faith never knew why. Mary went on to say that she liked the duet and always wondered why her vocals her removed. Tamar Braxton recently revealed on "Braxton Family Values" that she suffered a miscarriage amidst her firing from "The Real" and all the other drama with her sisters. Drake's "More Life" album is slated to be the #1 album for a second week in a row.

Beyoncé is out Hey all! There is a lot of music news and I'm going to try my best to cover everything in this one post. So Beyoncé has officially dropped out of headlining Coachcella. In a statement, it was revealed that Beyoncé will instead headline in 2018. Let's just hope she's not pregnant with triplets by then.  Future just released his second new album in a week,"Hendrxx". The album features Rihanna and The Weeknd. Just last week, Future released his self-titled album which is slated to be the #1 album next week.  Omarion is allegedly the guy in a video that is making the rounds. The video features a male waving his genitals in a helicopter motion. Omarion has yet to speak on the video and if it is him or not.  Nicki Minaj has everyone talking when she was featured on two recently released new singles. She is said to be taking shots at Remy Ma on "Swalla" a collaboration with Jason DeRulo and Ty Dolla Sign and "Make Love" w...

So..the Grammys were Sunday and I watched bits and pieces of the telecast. The Grammys were on the same time as "RHOA" so that had my attention. I did see Chance The Rapper win for Best New Artist. I saw the tail end of Beyoncé's performance which had everyone talking...of course. As for the winners, Beyoncé won for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Adele won in the major categories like Album Of the Year etc. I would say Rihanna was the best dressed and she gave 0 fucks in the audience as she was seen blowing kisses to Beyoncé and drinking from a flask. I do admire that about Rihanna that she is so badass and she give 0 fucks. Other winners included Drake for "Hotline Bling" and Solange for "Cranes In the Sky". Sunday saw the release of several of Prince's catalog released to several streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Princes' catalog was previously already available on Tidal music. I was glad to hear this because I could fi...

Ever since Nicki Minaj left Meek Mill, she has been reuniting and mending fences with some of her adversaries. Nicki was recently seen flicked up with Gucci Mane and a week ago she reunited with Drake after a very public battle that involved Meek Mill. Now I'm wondering if Nicki Minaj is going to make up with Lil' Kim? I mean might as well. Their feud is so old now anyway and it seems like Lil' Kim is open to forgiving everyone but Foxy Brown.  Beyoncé is being sued for $20 million dollars for using an authorized sample of a song from deceased artist, Messy Mya. The song in question is Beyoncé's huge hit, "Formation" which is now nominated for a Grammy. Speaking of the Grammy's, it has been announced that there will be a tribute for Prince and George Michael. Will you be watching?  In other news... Christina Aguilera is putting the finishing touches on her new album.  Soulja Boy claims he is going to be a father. Trey Songz has a new reality ...

The show must go on. Sorry guys for the lack of updates. I've had a very busy social life. Now I'm back with some info you might of read about already or not. But here goes... Days after announcing her pregnancy to the world, Beyoncé is still slated to perform at Coachcella this April in L.A. The word is that she will be having two special guests performing with her as well. One of those guests may very well be her husband, Jay Z. But who else could it be? Thoughts?  Nicki Minaj has accused designer Gisueppe(sp) Zanotti of racism after she made claims online that he hasn't returned her calls after reaching out to him. She lamented about how the Zanotti used several references to Minaj without the proper credit or something to that effect. I was reading bits and pieces of the tweets as they made the blog rounds a few days ago and Nicki looks ridiculous in this whole thing. I would be worried about my mansion that just got robbed. And speaking of that, ex-boyfriend; ...

"Babies" R Us Beyoncé broke the Internet today when she announced that she is pregnant with twins. This will be the second and third child for Beyoncé and husband Jay Z. The due date of the twins have no been revealed but judging from the picture Beyoncé seems to be a few months along. Beyoncé was all set to perform at this year's Coachcella festivities and I'm not sure how that is going to work out now. Now back to your regularly scheduled program!  After he breakup with Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj as reunited with her and he ex's nemesis; Drake along with Lil' Wayne. The trio has been rumored to work on a project so maybe this will be what they have in the works. Stay tuned! 

Single again. What's wrong with these celebrities? We're only 8 days into the new year and these celebrities are behaving more wilder than ever. It all makes for some very entertaining stories but also some very annoying moments. Sorry for the lack of updates. Sometimes I'm so busy doing nothing that I forget to provide you all with an update. Thanks for the support and continuing to visit and read my blog! While Mariah Carey is still blaming everyone for her fiasco of a performance 9 days ago, Nicki Minaj is now a single woman. The rapper announced the news a few days ago on Twitter. Ex-boyfriend, Meek Mill wasted no time throwing shade at Nicki poking fun at a pair of shoes she wore back in Ciara's video a few years back. The shade was very stale!  Chris Brown's crazy ass was thrown out of a gym after getting into a heated argument with the gym manager. While I thought he was in there training for his fake fight with Soulja Boy, he was actually with frien...

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...

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...

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...

The tea is hot! Days after his rant and meltdown during his St. Pablo Tour, Kanye West has abruptly cancelled his tour and is now hospitalized. Reports are describing the hospitalization as a "health and safety concern". Many are saying that Kanye is dealing with a lot personally and professionally. He called out friends; Beyoncé and Jay Z for being disloyal and claiming that Beyoncé informed MTV that she would not perform if they didn't award her Video of the Year. He has also been dealing with the fallout from his wife; Kim K. who suffered from her robbery overseas. Many shunned Kanye after abruptly ending his concert mid set and after he made claims that he would've voted for Donald Trump. Hopefully Kanye gets the rest and help he needs. He is certainly going through a lot and I can imagine its not easy especially being someone in the spotlight.  Speaking of Kanye West, Ray J still has some things to get off his chest as he's released a new song dissing...

Don't come for Bey Kanye West has ignited a storm of controversy during his most recent concert. During a break from the music Kanye made claims that MTV's Video Music Awards is rigged citing that was the reasoning for Beyoncé win for "Formation". MTV quickly shot back denying the claims saying that Beyoncé won fair and square due to the controversy behind the video and the cinematography. If that wasn't enough Kanye ended his concert early leaving many fans chanting "Fuck Kanye West!" I'm starting to think that people shouldn't even waste their money going to see Kanye at this point if he's going to abandon his set early. However it may still be worth the price of admission to simply attend and see what he is going to say or do for that matter. On a lighter note, he did bring out Kid Cudi; who called out Kanye months ago. It was possibly the best moment of the concert. Of course all the name calling and accusations that Kanye made last ...

VH1 Divas Mariah Carey is gearing up to headline a Christmas special of VH1's "VH1 Divas". The show will be recorded on December 2 and will air on December 5 on VH1. There is no word on whether any other divas will perform or if it will just be Mariah. Imagine that! Speaking of Mariah, her ex, Nick Cannon is said to have fathered a child with his ex and if that's not enough he was seen on a date with another ex, Christina Milian. What happened to him and Chili? It looks like Nick Cannon is juggling a lot of women. I guess he is a "Gigolo" like he rapped on his hit song of the same name.  Lil' Wayne says "fk(fuck) ya" to T.I. after T.I. posted a lengthy message to Wayne after the whole Black Lives Matter interview fiasco. I saw the message but honestly it was too long to read and frankly I could care less about what T.I. has to say. I just wanna see him naked! Haha!  We all know Sevyn Streeter right? She's had a couple of hit song...

Dammn baby. The name of Janet Jackson's unborn child is said to named after her late brother, the legendary Michael Jackson. As for Janet's due date, its rumored to be sometime this month. If the recent pics of her is any indication on how far along she is, I would say November sounds about right. Did you all see the wacky interview Lil' Wayne did when he was asked about Black Lives Matter? Well no I didn't see it either. I just read excerpts from the interview. But the comments Lil' Wayne made offended a lot of people and now he is apologizing. Rember Tinashe? She had the hit single, "2 On" a few years ago. She has released a few songs in recent months namely "Company" and "Party Favors". Well now Tinashe is releasing her new mixtape, "Nightride" tonight at midnight. I'm not sure if its going to be on iTunes or for free download. Will you be checking it out? People were outraged when Beyoncé performed at the...
