Mathew Knowles and his superstar daughter, Beyoncé, may have severed their professional relationship over the years, but the music business mogul remains one of her biggest fans.

That’s why he doesn’t exactly take it lightly when other artists get compared to the award-winning diva, who boasts being a multi-hyphenate who has excelled in areas of singing, dancing, acting, directing, songwriting, production and more.

During a recent Instagram Live interview with radio personality Leah Henry, Mathew – hot on the promo trail in support of his new podcast – waxed honest when quizzed on his thoughts about rising singer Chloe Bailey, one-half of the GRAMMY-nominated sister duo Chloe x Halle.  As fans know, the pair are considered Bey’s proteges as they are signed to her imprint, Parkwood.

Needless to say, his response sent tongues wagging.  See what we mean inside:

Good is an understatement when describing the radio response to Dua Lipa‘s latest hit, ‘We’re Good.’

Coming as the most added song at Pop radio last week, the Sly-produced cut ascended to #16 on this week’s Pop radio charts thanks to a whopping 30 million impressions.  Translating to a #49 entry on the Hot 100 when streaming and digital downloads were factored in, the Pop bop – thanks to enduring commercial performance and a ‘Titanic’-inspired music video – is showing no signs of sinking on the charts.

Not even a month after unveiling the music video for her critically acclaimed single, ‘Roaring 20s’ (click here to watch), rising rapstress Flo Milli is reaching into her bag of tricks – or should we say backpack of tricks – to show fans what’s next.

Finding inspiration in ‘Back Pack’ – a signature tune from popular Nickelodeon cartoon ‘Dora the Explorer’ – Milli puts an R-rated twist on the children’s favorite.

“This ho think I’m playin’—do I look like a kid? / P-pull out that chopper bitch, let’s make a hit (Huh?) / I’m peepin’ her out, number one on my list (Ayy) / Red beam in the door, when I aim I don’t miss
Don’t open yo’ lip / ‘Cause I just might reach in my (Ohh)…Backpack,” she spits on the Yung Glizzy-produced track.
