Still serving “it” in abundance two decades after delivering her eponymous debut album, R&B songstress Mya is back with the appropriately titled ‘T.K.O.’  Preceded by the bodacious bedroom cuts ‘Ready For Whatever,’ ‘Damage,’ ‘Knock You Out,’ and more, the LP – the follow-up to 2016’s Grammy-nominated ‘Smoove Jones’ – comes as a welcomed and apt entry in the singer’s consistent catalog.

Nearly two years after introducing her faithful fans (affectionately called #Arianators) to the gems found aboard her tertiary album, ‘Dangerous Woman’ (see:  ‘Into You,’ ‘Side to Side’ featuring Nicki Minaj, and many more), Ariana Grande‘s returned with the copiously teased tune, ‘No Tears Left to Cry.’

With claims of “inauthenticity” and “appropriation” aplenty, the center of Iggy Azalea‘s fall from grace has not been centered around poor promotion or musical missteps (as most of her releases BANG), but instead have been concentrated on race and culture.  This idea, the rapstress asserted in a recent sit down with GQ magazine, is not far from her gaze – even if she doesn’t talk about it.

Will her impassioned plea fall on deaf ears?  Read inside and see the stunning photos that accompany the tell-all interview:

“Sorry seems to be the hardest word…”

Self-proclaimed Queen of All Media Wendy Williams has experienced a royal dragging on social media for two days straight after she incorrectly asserted legendary gospel group, The Clark Sisters, did not have a #1 hit and needed to ‘step their game up’ (click here to read more). The all out backlash – enacted by the gospel community and its supporters – lit up the talk show host’s Twitter mentions and even sent the group to #1 on iTunes as a show of support (click here to read more).

Now, as an extension of an olive branch to the ‘You Brought the Sunshine’ singers and their fans, Williams has extended an opportunity for them to appear on her show and perform the song.  Hear it from her lips inside:
