Just two weeks before sending R&B lovers into a frenzy with news she recruited Brandy and Monica for a supercharged remix of her latest single ‘The Boy is Mine‘ (a nod to their 1998 megahit of the same name), Ariana Grande tapped the music vets as well as ‘You‘ star Penn Badgley to appear as guests in the tune’s official music video.

Loosely inspired by the story of DC Comics favorite Catwoman, the Christian Breslauer-directed clip continues the vein of cinematic themes that’s accompanied the last two music videos of Grande’s ‘Eternal Sunshine‘ era – ‘Yes, And?‘ and ‘We Can’t Be Friends.’

Easily a standout in her prized videography, Ariana invited her beloved fans (affectionately called #Arianators) to peek on the other side of the lens to see how all of the visual’s magic came to be.

A day of fun, food, and music turned into mayhem in Chicago over the weekend after rowdy attendees of the 2024 Vegandale Festival turned their beef into a full-on brawl.

Although boasting performances from Rap hitmakers like 2 Chainz, NLE Choppa, Jadakiss, Fabolous, and more, it was the set of 2x GRAMMY nominee Saweetie that saw the unfortunate series of events pop off and escalate into an unexpected and uncoordinated evacuation of the premises.

With his new album ‘Faith of a Mustard Seed’ being readied for a July 26 delivery, Mustard has put his foot on the gas in promotion of the forthcoming effort.

Beyond his most recent slew of headline-grabbing interviews, the latest tread in that stead comes courtesy of the official music video for ‘Parking Lot’ – the project’s latest single.

“Keisha got a G5 body / Teach her not to ride that stick like a ‘Rari,” he raps on the Travis Scott-featured cut. “Tina walk around with a back like a Hummer / Dropped out of school to get the bag and go dumber / Was at med school, now the meds make her number.”

Co-produced by Mustard, Scott, Keanu Beats, Nic Nac, and Farmer, the delectable new tune – unveiled Friday (June 21) – was brought to life by a hypnotic accompanying music video.

It’s been over 8 years since Rihanna reigned over Billboard charts with her last studio album, ‘Anti,’ but the exhausting wait for new music from the singer-turned-beauty-mogul has led her beloved fans (affectionately called #TheNavy) to cling to her hits of yesteryear.

So much so, 4 of her biggest hits – ‘Needed Me,’ ‘Stay,’ ‘Umbrella,’ and ‘Work’ – worked their way across the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) threshold for Diamond certification on May 31. “Diamond” denotes sales equivalence of 10 million in the United States.

Bringing her career collection of Diamond-certified songs to 6, the sum made her the vocalist with the most overall number of hits certified as high in the 71-year history of the RIAA.

And while Rih’s reign in the organization’s log didn’t seem poised to let up any time soon, not even three weeks went by before The Weeknd (born Abel Tesfaye) snatched the title.
