Oh boy is exactly what spectators were saying once they copped a gander at the Instagram tussle between rapper Cam’ron and comedian Faizon Love earlier this week.

It all started when Love accused JAY-Z of being fake and fabricating his drug-dealing past.  Once Cam got wind of the funnyman’s comments, he came to his former Roc-a-fella friend’s defense. What ensued afterward was an all-out war.

Suggesting she came in contact with coronavirus from a ‘Postmates order,’ the 24-year-old spoke candidly about her symptoms but was quick to assure her followers she was fine now.

First thrilling Tinashe fans with a remix to her ‘Songs For You’ tune ‘Hopscotch’ (click here to hear it), R&B duo THEY. followed that with a reunion with the stage-blazing diva for their song, ‘Play Fight.’

To say Sam Smith‘s third era has been a rollercoaster would be an understatement.

Despite kicking it off with one of 2019’s biggest songs, the Normani-assisted ‘Dancing with a Stranger,’ the GRAMMY-winner followed in 2020 with a string of moderately successful Hot 100 hits to precede the previously June 5-slated LP ‘To Die For’ – then  temporarily shelved it all together (as we reported here).

Now, it appears the 28-year-old is recharged and ready to serve hungry fans news on the revamped era.
