More Beyoncé news: Tonight is the opening night of the Formation tour in Miami. Opener DJ Khaled brought out Future, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, and more. Jay Z was also seen backstage. Are you going to see Beyoncé this go round? And as far as the ongoing rumors of who the "Becky" is in question on Beyoncé's song, her father Mathew Knowles knows all! He said Beyoncé is referring to him and not Jay Z. Oddly enough some people did consider Beyoncé might of been referring to her father in some aspects but I think she is referring to Jay in some songs too. Things that make you go hmmm! Meanwhile Beyoncé is laughing all the way to the bank! In other music news, Tank basically admitted to being bisexual depending on how you take it. He posted a video of him saying, "I like what I like. I'm a nasty motherfucker!". This comes on the heels of a report published by an online blog that Tank was messaging a transgender girl. Tank is currently with Zena Foster. I'm not s...

Nicki Minaj was seen last night during the American Music Awards throwing major shade towards Jennifer Lopez as she danced to Minaj's hit single, "Anaconda". Nicki says her looks weren't meant to be shady but instead it was her looking at her own reflection over the monitors. What do you think? Was Nicki being shady? And speaking of shady Nicki's ex Safaree took to social media to congratulate himself for winning several awards last night that were won by Nicki Minaj. If you recall Safaree is suing Nicki over what he claims is credit for his work on all three of her albums. Speaking of American Music Awards, I didn't watch the whole telecast and that's why you don't see a recap. I usually watch the awards shows but this one was rather boring so I was turning my TV a lot. I did see The Weeknd collect a few awards. Rihanna won. Celine Dion performed. Demi Levato performed. What else happened? Apparently Tank was feeling some kind of way! He went on soc...

Happy New Year my readers. How is everybody? I hope you all have a splendid New Years. I did! I had plenty of drinks, laughs, food, and a damn ole good time. KISS & MAKE UP: Now for the boring stories, YG and DJ Mustard have kissed and made up. The two were squabbling on social media and airing out dirty laundry about unpaid debts and so forth. Some were saying this was simply a publicity stunt. What do you all think or do you even care? I know I didn't care either way. FULL TANK: Congratulations are in order Tank and his lady who just gave birth to a baby boy Zion. Tank recently made the news when he said he was quitting music but later ate his words when he realized he was being ridiculous. REUNITED: Immature is reuniting with the original lineup and we will have to see how that goes down. Based on recent ill-fated reunions between groups lets keep our fingers crossed. You all enjoy yourselves and each other. Till next time!

Tank was arrested for failing to obey an officer. The singer songwriter was pulled over after being spotted on his cell phone while driving which is illegal in California. When stopped he refused to provide his license and registration and was booked soon thereafter. Hmm looks like Tank found himself in the tank! Speaking of being in the tank, Syleena Johnson(of R&B Divas Atlanta ) and her husband are just two of the newest couples to appear on WE's Marriage Boot Camp . The show in its second season details the stormy relationships between famed celebrity couples and the demons they face. I've only watched the show one time and I fell asleep on it. I actually saw it while I was visiting my sister because where I'm from, we don't have WE TV. Another thing I saw was that Fantasia's baby daddy wants full custody of their 13 year old child. First of all, let me say I didn't realize Fantasia's daughter was 13. I figured she was like 7 or 8 for some reason. I...

I know I know! I'm a little LATE on some of this news though but better late than never I guess. So here it is: TINY DANCER: The BET Awards '14 were two nights ago but they are still the talk of the town. And there are still stories being reported about things that went down on the red carpet and beyond. One story that is being reported is that while on the red carpet, Tiny was being interviewed and Floyd Mayweather reached out to her and she rejected and walked away. Clearly Floyd was clearly kicking up dirt and being the asshole he's been portraying himself to be. Tiny & T.I. were seated together in the front row at the BET Awards of course so they could catch every action and reaction. The couple seemed all smiles but they walked the red carpet separately. MAD TANK: Tank is mad at the BET Awards for not receiving the coveted(ha!) Best Group award. Instead the award went to Young Money who some say aren't actually a group. I disagree. They are a group. They'v...

Any news is good news.  So people are still reeling from the video footage of Solange allegedly attacking Jay Z. Well now news comes from E! and other media outlets saying that Solange has deleted every picture of Beyoncé on her Instagram except one. Why one? No one knows but obviously the picture means something to Solange. What went wrong between Jay Z and Solange? No one knows! The Standard Hotel, where the surveillance video was captured sent out a statement saying their investigating(yeah right!). We all know that siblings fall out and whatever the underlying issue is I'm sure it will be resolved in time. There is speculation as to what really happened. There is word that Solange had a heated exchange earlier in the evening with Rachael Roy. So was Solange drunk, wilding out or did Jay Z say something that was foul and offended Solange? Maybe one day we'll find out. If anyone will come forward and say anything its Solange. Don't expect Jay Z or Beyoncé to speak on...

2 Chainz has announced his new album title! Due September 10 B.O.A.T.S II: Me Time will feature the Pharrell-assisted first single Feds Watching . Speaking of watching there was a video that leaked(that I should of posted) of 2 Chainz getting robbed on the street. The robbery in question was the same robbery that 2 Chainz took to Twitter to deny. I think it was that denial that led to the surveillance video being leaked. I can't say I blame him for running when the guy approached him with a gun. I mean what would you do? Luckily he got away as did many of his entourage. In other Hip Hop music news...Kanye West is likely having the best week ever. His girlfriend Kim Kardashian gave birth yesterday to a 5lb baby girl. TMZ broke the story as did several other media outlets that Kim K. was in labor. Moments later it was being reported that the reality TV star had given birth. Like a true scholar Kanye West cancelled his L.A. promotion he had set for his new album Yeezuz which brings me...

Admire appears on Omarion's recently released EP Care Package.

It's one thing for artists to serenade us while their in their bathrooms but Tank takes it a step further by singing and showering.  It looks like Tank might be getting a little desperate to get his most recent album off the store shelves. 

Ciara will release Boy Outta Here featuring Rick Ross. It is being touted as the new single from her upcoming album One Woman Army due in stores this October. What happened to Sweat you ask? It is beyond me. Did they even give the song a chance is what I want to know? Elle Varner will release her debut album Perfectly Imperfect on August 7. The album features the hit single Refill . The singer has been making the rounds on BET most notably where she first caught acclaim. Speaking of BET during the BET Awards Preshow festivities Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank aka TGT announced their long awaited collaborative effort being distributed by Atlantic Records. The trio plans to tour together on the Shirts Off tour. Tyrese added the disclaimer that "ladies only" are welcome to the event.

Following his role in The Preacher's Kid and Lifetime's The Protector, Tank will make a guest appearance during the second season kicking off May 28. "I didn't kiss nobody. Somebody's gonna give me a kiss," Tank told Sister 2 Sister when speaking of the guest role.

While Tank has "Single Ladies" in the bag, he is looking forward to more roles and a tour in support of the soon to be released album "This Is How I Feel." "Since we have the time and we have everything working in our favor on the music side, I'mma take this time and take full advantage of everything.

Tank is crying out on the new song and video for; "Underrated". It's from his mixtape; "Diary Of A Madman" that was released last year. Tank may feel "underrated" in the sense that he hasn't had lots of chart success but I beg to differ on the whole "underrated" debacle. Tank is a noted songwriter and producer who has won many accolades. He has written and produced songs for a variety of artists including Ashanti(alleged), Kelly Rowland, Jamie Foxx, Pleasure P, and many more.
