Kanye West‘s rant about his record contract have attracted widespread attention – including word from producer Hit-Boy.

As reported, Ye bemoaned what he deems unfair terms and he even went as far as to urinate on his own GRAMMY Award.

Now, the ‘N*ggas In Paris’ producer has weighed-in with his take.

And while he slams “slave” deals and unpacks his own predicament, he made a shock revelation about West.

For, he alleges that the MC “told me face to face he stopped picking my beats because I worked with Beyoncé.”

Despite lifting official and/or animated music videos for every song on the album, slashing its first-week price twice (as we reported here), and embarking on an aggressive promotional tour in its support, music buyers are apparently still scowling at ‘Smile’ – the latest LP from Katy Perry.

The follow-up to her critically and commercially panned ‘Witness’ (2017), ‘Smile’ – released August 28 – is Perry’s first major label effort to charge into chart battle without a Hot 100 top 10 single preceding it.  Garnering modest first-week sales that landed it at #5 on the Billboard 200, its placement made it her first major label effort since her debut (2010’s ‘One of the Boys’) to miss the chart’s top spot.

Its performance in week 2 spelled even worse.  See what we mean inside:

Teyana Taylor has used the music videos of her third official era, ‘The Album,’ to not only demonstrate her prowess as a director but also make some conversation-worthy statements.

Most recently dropping jaws with her sociopolitical clip for song ‘Still’ (which featured her dressed as different victims of police brutality like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd), the R&B sexpot’s now dropping draws in the new music video for the steamy ‘1800-One-Night.’

The self-directed affair sees Taylor providing late night service as a sex operator and seducing her customers to a private room of their call center.

A revamped throwback to the infomercials of yesteryear, look inside to see the action:

Cardi B broke the internet last night when news of her shock divorce filing hit the wire.

As reported, the femcee petitioned to end her two year marriage to Migos rapper Offset.

In what has become standard fare since the #VERZUZ platform skyrocketed into popularity, its creators – Timbaland and Swizz Beatz – follow each battle with a reflection on the previous duel and discuss who would be great prospective match-ups for future showdowns.

Such was no different Sunday, September 13 as the culture collectively celebrated revisiting the prized discographies of the latest combatants Gladys Knight and Patti Labelle.

Yet, while the two producers were on the “wind down,” they discussed and later disagreed that longtime friends/collaborators Janet Jackson and Missy Elliott would be a good pairing – with Beatz even insinuating Jackson did not have enough hits to compete.

Needless to say, the suggestion sent the Pop Queen’s fans on the attack – a string of events that led Swizz to social media Tuesday (September 15) to clarify yet double down on his original statement.

‘Any rumor about me, let me dead it’ – a line from Megan Thee Stallion‘s hit ‘Girls in the Hood’ – are words she’s continuing to live by as evidenced by her recent Instagram live posts.

The most recent chat with followers saw her address rumors she physically abused her ex-boyfriend Karim York.  During her talk on the social media platform (which drew in over 60,000 viewers at its height), the award-winning rapstress stated:

“I don’t like when people flat out tell lies,” she barked. “They antagonize me every day online, they pick with me every godd*mn day. They’re always making up stories about me and now I really feel like I’m gonna have to start doing something about it. ‘Cause you b*tches are really crazy.”

The incident in question stems from a mugshot of the femcee that resurfaced online alongside blog reports she had been arrested for beating her then boyfriend after discovering he was having an affair.

The roll out for Sam Smith‘s yet-titled third album has been murky to say the least.

Launched in 2019 on the back of one of the year’s biggest hits, the Normani-assisted ‘Dancing with a Stranger,’ the pending project saw its subsequent singles perform progressively worse leading up to the most recent release, ‘My Oasis’ (which missed the Hot 100 all together).

The latest bid to rescue the era comes in the form of the newly announced, ‘Diamonds.’
