Ciara salutes the voices speaking up and out for racial equality on new release ‘Rooted (ft. Ester Dean).’
Arriving on the heels of the mass Black Lives Matter protests, the song and its accompanying video mirror the mantra – celebrating melanin in all its majestic marvel and magic.
Upon the unleashing of the visual moments ago, CiCI revealed that she shot the clip just two days before giving birth to her second son Win Harrison Wilson.

“F*** You” singer Cee Lo Green had fans of Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion saying just that to him after he branded the ladies’ respective expressions of sexuality as ‘desperate’ (as we reported here).
Now, after drawing harsh criticism from the rappers’ fans and supporters for his “misguided” his weigh in, the Gnarls Barkley leader is reeling back the comments.
Taking to social media Wednesday (August 12), Green stated:
“There seems to be a misunderstanding with a quote taken from an interview I did a few days ago while promoting my new project,” he started. “Firstly, I’m an advocate of artistic freedom and expression as well as a fan of Nicki, Cardi & Meagan [sic]. I know most of them personally and consider Cardi & Offset family. Therefore, I would never disrespect them by any means.”
That’s not all he said. Look inside for the full statement:
The City Girls are pounding the promotional pavement in support of their sophomore album ‘City On Lock.’
Devastated by its leak and subsequent rush-release, the duo aren’t deterred and are instead spreading the word.
Today they stopped by The Breakfast Club, where they chopped it up about a range of topics – including the LP, clashing with each other, and the future.

15-time GRAMMY winner Alicia Keys was already among the most-certified R&B artists to debut to this century, but now – thanks to a slew of updates from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) – she’s solidified that placement.
In news sent to press Tuesday (August 11), some of the diva’s biggest hits including ‘Diary,’ ‘You Don’t Know My Name,’ ‘Fallin,’ and ‘Karma,’ and ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ saw their certifications upgraded while newer tunes ‘Underdog,’ ‘In Common,’ and ‘Show Me Love (featuring Miguel)’ all earned their first plaques.

Despite not reaching the top 10 status it was initially predicted to, ASAP Ferg and Nicki Minaj‘s latest duet – ‘Move Ya Hips’ – still made impressive moves on the Hot 100 (as we reported here).
Debuting at #19 on the tally, the Frankie P-produced cut marks the third collaboration between the hit rappers (following ‘Plain Jane’ and ‘Runnin’) and is their highest rung reached on the chart to date.
In a bid to make it their first top 10 hit, the duo (alongside MadeinTYO) have released its cinematic accompanying music video which tells the tale of a fantasy-gone-wrong after a man orders a lady robot online that has the most unfortunate…umm…malfunction.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion made a splash with their raunchy visual for ‘WAP,’ which has the rappers set to top the charts in the coming week.
However, the racy nature of both the song and video (which stand for “Wet A** P***y”) hasn’t thrilled all.
Indeed, as reported, CeeLo Green lambasted the duo (along with other femcees) for their displays of sexuality. And a sect of other males have echoed similar sentiments.
Not one to hold back, Meg addressed the matter and highlighted hypocrisy.

It’s a potent Pop link-up!
BLACKPINK have teamed with singer Selena Gomez for their next musical adventure.

From ‘Borderline’ to the Billboard 200 finish line, it’s now been revealed exactly where Brandy‘s long-awaited seventh album – ‘B7’ – placed in the race to the top of charts.
With its July 31 arrival trumpeted by the Chance the Rapper-assisted ‘Baby Mama,’ the project was delivered as the R&B veteran’s first official studio album since 2012’s critically acclaimed ‘Two Eleven.’
Despite going to Billboard 200 chart battle as the first LP of her career to lack a Hot 100-charting single to precede it, industry analysts still predicted the eOne set was still on track for a top 10 debut thanks to first-week sales of nearly 25,000.
Now, with the final sold copies counted, look inside to see just where she landed on the album hitlist.
Cop a gander at Janelle Monáe!

Ahead of its debut, expect to see much of Monáe across press outlets including a stunning feature in the forthcoming issue of ‘SHAPE’ magazine (set to hit newsstands next month). Inside, the 34-year-old not only flaunts her figure but also dishes on how she prioritizes mental health in the wake of the hottened spotlight on racial and social injustice in America.
A gripping read, look below to see standout quotes from the feature and view the finished product of the accompanying photo shoot:
