Doechii is back with some new music.

Having first premiered her new song on via a ‘Colors Live Show,’ she has now officially shared her track ‘Stressed.’

Across the track, she dynamically delivers the lines:

“I must be lost in my regrets / I must be down, I must be stressed / I’ve got like thirteen years of age / That I ain’t still got off my chest / It must be so much more to life / If I had diamonds and bouguettes [sic] / I must be stupid, f***in’ shady / Must be down, I must be stressed.”

The new song follows the release of her EP ‘She/Her/Black Bitch’ earlier this year.

Kanye West has sparked fresh controversy and once again it centers on racial discourse.

Fresh from offending many with comments deemed anti-Semitic, the rapper shared a shocking take on one of the cases at the heart of the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement: the murder of George Floyd.

As of writing, former Police officer Derek Chauvin is sitting in prison convicted of killing the unarmed Black man – whose neck he knelt on for over 9 minutes.

For Kanye, though, that wasn’t the reason for Floyd’s death.

Megan Thee Stallion pulled double duty on Saturday Night Live this evening.

The talk of the week was undoubtedly the social media smackdown between Latto and her “former idol” Nicki Minaj!

What started as a discussion around “industry politics” and the recently kicked off GRAMMY voting process that saw Minaj’s #1 hit, ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ booted from Rap categories to Pop turned into a virtual brawl between the two rappers with major disses flying both ways (as we reported extensively).

As their respective fan groups continue to duke it out on the Web, some industry figures – like CHIKA and now Amber Rose – are throwing their two cents in on the matter.

While CHIKA took aim at Minaj and her “annoying” fans (affectionately called Barbz), Rose is taking more of a Switzerland route by encouraging peace between the dueling divas.  Look inside to see what the model-actress had to say.
