Cardi B is not sweating her lack of nominations for the 2021 GRAMMYs.

In fact, the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper revealed on Instagram Live the reason as to why ‘WAP’ did not appear on the nominations list and it was intentional.

Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue have teamed up for dance-inducing performance.

The pair took the stage together at Lipa’s ‘Studio 2054’ virtual concert and it was everything and more. They performed ‘Real Groove’ from Minogue’s ‘Disco’ album that was released earlier this year (stream it here).

Both Lipa and Minogue performed in a club setting, where they were joined by people dancing to the track. Both singers even got in on the fun, as they took to dancing on top of table.

Minogue has been just one of many guests who are set to appear on ‘Studio 2054.’ Miley Cyrus, Elton John, and FKA twigs are among some of the other guests (as we reported here).

After a slew of critically and commercially acclaimed biopics of some of music history’s most game-changing female acts (i.e. Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, Britney Spears, Clark Sisters, and more), Lifetime sent Hip Hop fans into a frenzy with the announcement female Rap pioneers Salt-N-Pepa would be next to see their story told via the women’s network.

What’s more, the Mario Van Peebles-directed project would be executive produced by group members Cheryl ‘Salt’ James and Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton as well as by fellow Rap royal Queen Latifah (among others).

Chronicling their rise in the male-dominated Hip Hop industry, the movie will also put a lens on how the music business put a strain on their personal lives, friendship, and more.

Jason Derulo has every intention on riding the Tik Tok wave until the wheels fall off – and we don’t blame him one bit.

If any one can stand as a posterchild on the power social media platform wields it would be Derulo – a truth underscored by the mega-success of his Hot 100 chart-topping single, ‘Savage Love.’

Now, the hitmaker is hoping to hop on another Tik Tok trend (the Tampa Beat) to boost the profile of his newest effort, ‘Love Not War.’

See the song’s official video (in partnership with Nuka) below:

VH1’s ‘I Love New York’ – a spinoff of the network’s wildly popular reality dating series ‘Flavor of Love’ – launched Tiffany “New York” Pollard into an enduring love affair with TV viewers over its two-season run across 2007-2008.

Boosting her to not only become one of the most popular reality stars of the 2000’s, the series’ success made it the parent project to a few spinoffs of its own.

Her status in the reality TV show halls of history may have been the catalyst behind network execs wanting to lift the starlet to a new generation of viewers via the November 23-aired ‘I Love New York: Reunited.’

Doja Cat continues to claw to new personal bests thanks to strides made on the Billboard charts as well as with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

In November alone, Cat not only learned she’d earned her second top 40 hit and highest Hot 100 debut courtesy of her Ariana Grande duet, ‘Motive’ (click here to read more), but also that her breakthrough, sophomore album – ‘Hot Pink’ – had spent an entire year on the Billboard 200 (click here to read more).

As if that’s not enough to celebrate, now the RIAA’s unveiled a slew of new certifications with the rising rapstress’ name affixed a-front them.

‘Hitman’ hitmaker Kelly Rowland is hitting many-a-major TV and talk outlet in support of her forthcoming EP, ‘K’ (due December 4), and new movie, ‘Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding’ (premiering November 28).

In addition to virtually visiting the likes of ‘Access Hollywood,’ ‘Tamron Hall Show’ (click here to watch), ‘Good Morning America’ (click here to watch), and more, the GRAMMY winner also took to ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ to dish on her latest endeavors.

Fans of Rowland know she and Drew not only have an ongoing relationship due to their involvement with the charitable organization BABY2BABY, but are also famously linked because of their roles in the blockbuster 2000 movie adaptation of ‘Charlie’s Angels’ (starring Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu).

Look inside to hear them stroll down memory lane and revisit how Rowland’s group, Destiny’s Child, birthed the chart-topping megahit, ‘Independent Women.’

It’s been over two years since Mya dropped the critical knockout ‘T.K.O.’ – her eighth studio album – but that hasn’t stopped the R&B treasure from uncovering gems from her growing discography.

Easily one of the genre’s most consistent deliverers, the singer-songwriter has not only kept consumers fed with a steady stream of singles and accompanying music videos for songs from that project but also a couple of standalone releases as well.

The latter’s distribution has only increased calls for the follow-up to ‘T.K.O.,’ which may very well be on its way as indicated by new single – ‘I’ma Do It.’

“If I wan’ twerk… I’ma do it / Go to work… I’ma do it / Get myself a couple hours on the low… I’ma do it / Wanna lean… I’ma do it, be a freak… I’ma do it / Keep the money and the mug on mean… I’ma do it,” she sings on the MyGuyMars and Mike & Keys-produced track.

With Diamond certified hit ‘Stay With Me,’ 7x Platinum hit ‘I’m Not the Only One,’ and more, ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ singer Sam Smith is no stranger to clocking Hot 100 hits by their lonesome.

Still hot on the promo trail for their latest Billboard 200 top 5 album, ‘Love Goes,’ Smith was recently spotted on Canadian news dishing about the project, its singles, and so much more.

When quizzed on what fellow performers they’d love to duet with, the GRAMMY winner gave a couple of surprising answers including Beyoncé and Canadian Pop icon Celine Dion.
