Grammy-winning songstress Michelle Williams (born Tenitra M. Williams) has had enough!

The Destiny’s Child diva has been on the receiving end of vicious criticism since the 71st Primetime Emmys aired Sunday night (September 22) for an impassioned speech delivered about gender and race equality in the entertainment industry.  The problem?  She didn’t even attend the ceremony!

Instead, it was acclaimed actress Michelle Williams who – despite being a television and film veteran of 20+ years – was on hand to receive her very first Emmy.  Her plea for better wages for actresses may have garnered applause from most, but there were certainly a sect who disagreed and took to Twitter in droves to share their disapproval.

Don’t call it a flop!

After weeks of ample teasing, September 13 saw ‘Don’t Call Me Angel’ – the lead single from the Ariana Grande-curated soundtrack of the 2019 ‘Charlie’s Angels’ reboot – take flight on digital and streaming platforms.  Aided by a high octane, Hannah Lux Davis-directed music video, the song soared to the top of iTunes sales charts just hours after its premiere (a success that was mirrored on Spotify charts as well).

By the end of its inaugural tracking week, Billboard reported:

“The song starts at No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart, with 26,000 downloads sold, and No. 11 on Streaming Songs, with 26.3 million U.S. streams, in the week ending Sept. 19, according to Nielsen Music. It also drew 7.5 million airplay audience impressions in the week ending Sept. 22…”

The handsome combo of streaming, digital downloads, and radio airplay helped lift the tune to a #13 debut.  A promising start, look inside to see who joins the trio in the top 25 on this week’s edition of the TGJ Chart Check:

Khia‘s feud with the rapper Trina has been giving a fresh pair of arms and legs now that she is at war with her cousin…the aspiring celebrity Bobby Lytes.

In a video which is now the highest trending topic on Twitter, the ‘So Excited’ rapper attacked her new nemesis with the cruel suggestion that his body is deteriorating as a result of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and mocked his attempts to garner publicity for himself by harassing Lil Nas X at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

I have a problem with Bobby Lytes being a racially ambiguous black man and on Instagram calling a black woman an animal.
