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.

So this groupie girl is alleging that Drake has got her pregnant and now he is ignoring her. The girl in question has receipts of text conversations with Drake and papers claiming her pregnancy. This could be true and this could also be a bunch of bullshit. Who knows and who cares? In other Drake news, his album, "More Life" has been #1 for 3 weeks. No surprise there! Drake has recently called out a popular spot known as the Madison Club for their mistreatment and racism. The company responded by reaching out to Drake and planning to fix the situation. One situation that will need to be fixed and definitely addressed is allegations of Chris Brown assaulting a photographer. The photographer in question has receipts which includes a bloody lip. We all know Chris Brown is known to fly into a rage from time to time so this is pretty believable. I wonder has Chris posted a video or meme about this? A few days ago someone "hacked" Mary J. Blige's Twitter which inclu...

Nicki Minaj has topped Aretha Franklin as the female with the most Hot 100 hits. Nicki placed three new songs on the chart this week with "No Frauds" leading the pack debuting at the #14. Nicki now has 76 Hot 100 chart entries. 32 of those entries are her as the lead artist and the other 44 are her as the featured artist. Nicki is currently filming the video to "No Frauds" in London. Congrats Nicki!  Model and actor Tyson Beckford was a guest on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" and he was asked about his feud with Chris Brown. Tyson insinuated that Brown was on "drugs"(as its been reported by the media) and suggested he get professional help. I couldn't agree more. Chris hasn't clapped back yet(that I'm aware of) but look out for a clap back sooner than later.  Matt Jordan; hired ex-boyfriend of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star; Kenya Moore called out Kenya in an Instagram rant saying she sold her body to Nige...

Chris Brown has revealed that his new album, "Privacy" will be available next week and its for the "ladies". The album will likely feature the single, "Party" featuring Usher and Gucci Mane. You all looking forward to a new Chris Brown album? Speaking of new album, Drake released his new album; "More Life" on March 18 and it immediately had the Internet buzzing. The album features appearances by Travis Scott, 2 Chainz, Young Thug and more. Jennifer Lopez was rumored to be featured on the album but after her and Drake's supposed falling out, she was replaced with singer Jorja Smith. Jennifer's own song, "If You Had My Love" is sampled on "Teenage Fever" which is one of the album's standouts. In the opening track, "Free Smoke", Drake admits to drunk texting J-Lo. Interesting.  Another new album worth checking out is Rick Ross' "Rather You Than Me" featuring the song "Idols Become...

An old banner. Sorry guys for the lack of updates. I didn't realize a whole week had passed by since my last update. Chris Brown's ex girlfriend has filed a restraining order against him. It is alleged that he has punched her in the stomach and threatened to kill her. Chris Brown has responded to the restraining order by calling it "bullshit". On a much lighter note, he just announced his "Party" tour and his pay per view fight with Soulja Boy has been cancelled.  In other news... Keyshia Cole says she will not be joining "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood". Future's new album is slated to debut at #1 and he is also supposed to release another album this Friday. 

Aww baby!!! There's a lot of little news stories going around, many of them not noteworthy at all but I'll mention some of them just because. So here goes... Waka Flocka Flame is caught up in the groupie mess once again. Some chick is claiming he was cheating. But to be honest I really didn't follow the whole story but by the looks of it, its getting really messy. Don't expect any new music from Ashanti anytime soon and I guess that's okay since she has plenty of hit songs to perform on tour. Ashanti, who is currently on tour with Ja Rule in Australia is about to hit Europe, this time with R&B singer; Joe. The trek stars February 22 in Paris and ends March 4 in Berlin. Get that money Ashanti!  Kelly Price says she will be singing the National Anthem at the boxing fight between Chris Brown and Soulja Boy. I still can't believe this is going to happen but I suppose. Speaking of Chris Brown, he was seen in the same club as his ex, Rihanna. Maybe he ...

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...

Where's the beef? We're only 5 day into 2017 and already the entertainment world has been on fire with various feuds between celebrities, TV networks, and social media sites. Some feuds that erupted at the tail end of 2016 that were brought over into 2017 is also featured on the list. Azealia Banks. vs. Facebook  Facebook reportedly shut down Azealia Banks' Facebook page after she publicly criticized Brazilians. A similar thing happened last year but on Twitter when Banks' went on a racist and homophobic tirade towards singer Zayn Malik(I think that's his last name). Azealia has since rejoined Twitter under another pseudonym and has apologized publicly to Zayn.  Mariah Carey vs. ABC By now we have all heard about the disastrous Mariah Carey performance on ABC during the New Year's Eve festivities. After Mariah's flub, she took to social media stating that "shit happens" but has since blamed ABC for sabotage. ABC shot back and denied the ...

Damn Trina! Trina released a snippet of her new single; "Damn" featuring Tory Lanez tonight on her social media sites. The single will be released on Friday, January 6. Trina shot the video to the single last month in Philadelphia. Based on what I heard of the :25 second snippet, Trina just might have a hit on her hands. It doesn't hurt that she has Tory Lanez on the song who is enjoying a lot of success. One of the reasons why Trina has remained so relevant over the years is not just because she releases music consistently. It is also because she works with a lot of different artists of all spectrums; new, old, and up and coming. She also keeps up with the ever changing trends in music and that doesn't hurt.  So suddenly Chris Brown and Soulja Boy thinks that they are Floyd Mayweather and Pacquio. Chris Brown and Soulja Boy are taking their feud to the boxing ring and 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather are said to have a hand in the match. Personally I think this w...

Baby boy. Hey! I have lots of news today! It just so happens that today is one of those big news days and so early in the year makes it even better. The big news has been Chris Brown acting like a sociopath but Janet Jackson has finally given birth and everyone is talking about that and I think people have finally stopped talking about Mariah and her non-performance. I know I'm tired of hearing about it. Aren't you?  Eissan Al Mana is the name of Janet's first child with her husband Wissam Al Mana. Janet announced early last year that she was cancelling her "Unbreakable" tour to start a family. The move drew much criticism and people weren't kind. Janet did assure fans that once she had her baby she would continue her tour. Just don't count on that to happen right away guys!  Chris Brown has been sparring with Soulja Boy online and now he's turned his sights on his ex-girlfriend; Karrueche Tran after she commented on the back and forth between...

The blame game. Chris Brown is a hot ass mess! I mean what other way can I put it? But before I get into that.. Mariah Carey, her management, and ABC continue to play the blame game after her disastrous New Year's Eve performance. ABC has since shot back and said they wouldn't intentionally sabotage someone's performance. I think Mariah should just own up to her mistake which she has pretty much because she tweeted saying "shit happens". But enough of this story already!  Chris Brown has threatened to kick Soulja Boy's butt after he liked a picture of Brown's ex; Karrueche Tran. I'm so tired of Chris Brown getting upset at anyone and everyone that shows a liking to Karrueche. Whether their intentions are good or not, why choose to care now? You didn't care when you with her as much since you continued to act like a madman and allegedly abuse substances. Just when I thought Chris was over Karrueche, he is not. He has been commenting on all ...

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 ...

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...

Nicki dropping it low. Lil' Mama threw some major shade at Nicki Minaj on Instagram. She posted a picture of Lil' Kim, saying that Kim inspired everyone to wanna wear pink hair before going on to quote Misa Hilton(Diddy's first baby mama) saying "respect the architect". I'm not sure exactly what Lil' Mama has against Nicki Minaj but she has been sending shots her way for awhile. Whether or not Nicki has responded, you'd have to listen closely to any of her latest songs. It's almost like Lil' Mama is asking for Nicki to come at her but I think it would be an interesting battle between the two though. What do you think?  Chris Brown was caught on video at a charity basketball game arguing with someone and police were allegedly called. I'm not sure what all the ruckus was about but Chris really needs to keep himself out of trouble and while he's at it, he needs to gain some weight. He's looking a little frail these days don...

An old banner Chris Brown was reportedly promised a role on "Power" by 50 Cent(who is the executive producer). Apparently Starz, the network is not too fond of Brown and feels that he has major "anger issues". 50, however is fighting to still have Chris play a drug dealer on the show.  Stevie J is said to be going to jail for non-payment of child support. Stevie's non-payment for child support was one of his many storylines for the last season of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta". Ex- wife girlfriend Joseline Hernandez pressured Stevie's baby mother, Mimi Faust to put Stevie on child support and she finally did. Stevie made a farewell bid on social media. Stevie starts his sentencing next week but for how long he is in jail, I'm not sure.  Speaking of Joseline Hernandez, she is one of the many celebrities that will be featured on VH1's reincarnation of "Hollywood Squares", now called "Hip Hop Squares". There is no...

Remy in ATL Remy Ma and Trina will both be performing live in ATL on Saturday, September 3 at Premiere One. If your in the Atlanta area, will you be checking out the ladies? Hopefully we get another Remy Ma and Trina collab, that would sound good right about now. I'm really happy at how Remy has turned her life around and got back on her grind. She is doing really well right now. Her, Fat Joe, and French Montana have a new record out now called, "Cookin", have you heard it?  The big story yesterday was Chris Brown getting arrested for allegedly pulling a gun out on a woman. The woman called the police then called TMZ. The woman, turns out to have quite the extensive criminal record has been blasted on social media by fans and celebrities alike. When I first read about this, I believed her because of Chris' past behavior. Then I realized though something must of taken place for her to make up such a story. Either the hoe ain't get no coke, no dick, or somet...

Azealia in hot water again By now we're all used to the controversial figure that is Azealia Banks. This time people are criticizing the rapper for lightning her skin after various comments she's made in the past. Unfortunately there are many dark skin women who are not comfortable with their looks and a lot of times they feel the need to change their look. I'm not saying that Azealia is not comfortable with her skin color but she has said she wanted to do away with the blemishes and have a more even skin tone. Well it looks like she's accomplished that. In other Azealia Banks news, a demo of a song titled, "Blosson" leaked out which details a lesbian romance. The song was originally set to appear on her "Broke With Expensive Taste" album.  Drake has more reason to celebrate as 2016 has truly been his year. His new album, "Views" has been certified 3x platinum making it the only album so far to be certified with the coveted certific...

Trina circa 2008 Trina has a new phone app via iTunes and it features up-to-date info on her busy touring schedule, up close and personal pictures with celebrities and fans, plus six new songs. Trina also remixed DJ Khaled's new song, "Free" complete with a video that features Trina on a yacht in abevy of revealing bathing suits.  Joseline Hernandez of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" fame has landed herself yet another spin-off with VH1, this time documenting her pregnancy. Joseline revealed on the "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Reunion" that she was pregnant. Joseline has even posted videos of her growing belly as she works out. Stevie J is alleged to be the father of the baby but some feel Young Dro may be the father thanks to a few subtle hints he's posted on social media. Oh and will Joseline will be returning for season 6 of "Love & Hip Hop", the self-proclaimed Puerto Rican princess said "yes!" Will I be watching? Pr...

Lil' Kim was set to perform at tonight's Essence Music Festival but had to pull out due to "unfilled business obligations" her representative said in a statement. However, you can expect to see Lil' Kim front and center when she is honored by VH1 later this month during their "Hip Hop Honors" which airs on July 11. Chris Brown has been kicked out his Ibiza pad that he rented! According to the landlord vomit, knife marks, and urine were all over the pad. The landlord called the cops saying that Brown refused to leave after his check out time. This has been quite the week for Chris Brown who has been sued by Suge Knight. His tour manager alleged that he was punched by Brown. But in typical Brown fashion, he is taking all the nonsense and rumors in stride. It's not hard to believe some of this stuff though given Brown's history as being volatile. What do you all think? Tami Roman of "Basketball Wives" and Amber Rose has come to the defe...

Mariah Carey has been bringing out surprise guests during her stint in Las Vegas. Just last week she brought out John Legend for an intimate lap dance for her hit single, "Touch My Body". Just a few days ago Mariah brought out none other than Blac Chyna which I thought was pretty random. I guess! Who do you think Mariah will bring out next? Congratulations are in order for Jill Scott who got married this weekend! Suge Knight is suing Chris Brown for saying his lack of security is the reason why he got shot 5 times. Chris Brown's ex manager has spoken out and says they quit because Chris was "irrational" and "on drugs". No surprise there! Justin Timberlake faced a backlash after Jesse Williams' BET acceptance speech. He has since apologized for his words which stated "we are all one" or something along those lines. Jesse spoke about the power of Black people and what we represent during his acceptance speech for his Humanitarian award. ...
