Love is in the air for K. Michelle.

For after settling her feud with Tamar Braxton at the 2015 BET Awards, the soulful songbird revealed EXCLUSIVELY to That Grape Juice that she’s found a new beau in London.

The candid comment came during our chat with the ‘Can’t Raise A Man’ singer at the Atlantic Records / TIDAL BET Awards Afterparty.

Though coy, the star bluntly bared the fact that her British based boyfriend is one of reasons she’s set to relocate to the UK capital for a lengthy spell.

Beyond love, Michelle confirmed to us that the other reason is work. Recording has indeed commenced on her third studio album, which is presently set for a February 2016 release.

Check out the interview above and, as ever, let us know…

For Iggy Azalea, enough is enough.

The ‘Fancy’ femcee has once again found herself at the centre of controversy – this time with her ‘Pretty Girls’ collaborator Britney Spears.

As reported, the Australian bred rapper ignited the internet when she rationalised the underperformance of ”Girls’ as being due to the lack of accompanying performances – a point she was sure to emphasise had nothing to do with her.

Many of Spears’ fans received the comment as “shade” and have since been showering Azalea with all sorts of insults.
