Lauryn Hill has angered her faithful Nashville fans again after cancelling yet another appearance in the Music City.

The Grammy winner, due to be joined by rappers Dave East and Big Boi last night (October 11) on her “The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill 20th Anniversary Tour” stop in Tennessee, rescheduled the visit from August 5th citing technical problems at the time.  Fast forward to today, excited supporters of the songstress report they stood in line for hours to not only find out Hill wouldn’t be joining them, but that she was not even in the city.

Outrage ensued and the former Fugees-frontwoman took to Twitter to offer an official apology for standing up her Nashville fans for the second time in just two months.  Read her statement and the responses inside:

Christina Aguilera‘s been letting it all out of the bag since she’s been in promo mode for ‘The Liberation Tour,’ her first trek in a decade developed in support of her 6th studio effort, ‘Liberation.’

Already turning heads for her recent comments about that infamous 2003 MTV VMA kiss with Britney Spears and Madonna that had her feeling left out (click here to read), now her stroll down memory lane has her reflecting on another injustice in her career:  the failure of her fourth album, ‘Bionic.’

Featuring the moderate top 30 hit, ‘Not Myself Tonight,’ and its critically acclaimed follow-up, ‘You Lost Me,’ the project was undone by rumors of plagiarism of and feuding with then-rising pop star Lady Gaga as well as other “sabotage” Xtina believes was the doing of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Taking to “Radio Andy” (hosted by Andy Cohen), hear what Miss Aguilera had to say about the incident:

Despite having two EPs under her belt, singer/songwriter Ella Mai didn’t experience her true breakout until her third EP – 2017’s ‘Ready’ – unleashed the top 5 bop, ‘Boo’d Up.’  Since then, things have only been looking up for the Brit-born beauty as the cut’s follow-up single, ‘Trip,’ is taking a similar trip up the Hot 100’s ladder (much like its predecessor).

Now, fans awaiting more from the 23-year-old can finally get their hands on her long-awaited debut LP.  As we reported here, the self-titled project features appearances from Grammy winners Chris Brown and John Legend as well as fellow rising R&B songstress H.E.R.

Usher mysteriously teased his return earlier today and has followed through with the release of brand new project, ‘A.’

The 8-track collection, which is named after his hometown of Atlanta and was executive produced by Zaytoven, is the star’s first effort since 2016’s ‘Hard II Love’ and the first since he became embroiled in a seismic herpes scandal.

Looking to turn the tide, he serves up a set that skillfully sews his trademark brand of butter-smooth R&B with hard(er) hitting songs that place him in the thick of today’s Hip-Hop dominated climate. What’s more, he paired the project with features from fellow Atlantan star Future and more giving a nod throughout to ATL culture.

Really though, what are you waiting for? New Ush after the jump…
