Beyond being one of the most formidable forces in music, Beyonce has cemented herself as an astute entrepreneur.

Heading up the Parkwood Entertainment empire, Queen Bey has established success in a multitude of spheres and shows no signs of slowing.

To shape and steer said charge, she on-boarded Steve Pamon as President/COO of her innovative imprint in 2014.

Beforehand, the Morehouse graduate made a major mark in multinationals such as Time Warner and JP Chase Morgan; with his tenure at the latter aligning him with Bey after he negotiated the company’s sponsorship of her ‘On The Run’ stadium tour.

Since joining forces, the pair haven’t looked back.

Their many achievements has seen Billboard name them both as Executive of the Year in the 2019 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players List.

Head below for insights from Beyonce and Pamon about their approach to business and much more…

When questions about embattled R&B singer R. Kelly are raised you can bet his former protégé, ‘Can’t Raise a Man’ maestra K. Michelle, is never one to shy away from them.

Though the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star came under fire in January for comments some perceived as supportive of the Grammy winning singer-songwriter (despite the backlash that ensued after Lifetime’s scathing ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ documentary), she later clarified the statement and has since stood in solidarity with the accusers.

Recently quizzed again on Nick Cannon‘s Power 106 FM radio show about her thoughts on Kelly’s ongoing legal woes, Michelle emphasized her belief that while he is deserving of the backlash, she can’t help but be concerned about the man she once called friend.  Later comparing his scrutinization to that of King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley‘s, the songstress somewhat implied the treatment Kelly’s endured to date has been unfair.

Katy Perry makes a fresh bid for Pop sovereignty with new release ‘Harleys In Hawaii’ – the video for which was unwrapped moments ago.

The butter-smooth bop sees the singer drive in a more Urban-kissed direction following the roll-out of candy-coated cuts ‘Never Really Over’ and ‘Small Talk’ (which enjoyed varying levels of success).

‘Harleys’ serves as the latest component of a clear comeback effort from the star, who has been attempting to find her footing after 2017’s lukewarmly received ‘Witness.’

Having revealed that she’s veering away from the typical album setup and instead dropping songs as and when, she more recently asserted that an LP would surface when fans wanted. Which, to us, reads as “when I recapture my momentum.”

Will ‘Harleys’ spin her wheels in motion once again? Watch the Manson directed visual below and let us know…
