‘Hung Up’ hitmaker Madonna is temporarily hanging up her dancing shoes after sustaining a knee injury while cranking out the hits on the ‘Madame X’ world tour.

Already disappointing fans by postponing its start date due to a series of ‘technical difficulties’ (as we reported here), now the 61-year-old diva is citing physical difficulties as the cause of its latest delay.

Gucci Mane isn’t one to rest on his laurels, as evidenced by the recent announcement of the October 17th due date of his new project, ‘Woptober II’ (the conceptual sequel to his 2016 mixtape, ‘Woptober’).

Coming just 4 months after his June 2019 album, ‘Delusions of Grandeur’ (which was delivered 6 months after the December 2018-released album ‘Evil Genius’), the work-a-holic has teased fans with a lift from the set courtesy of the Megan Thee Stallion-assisted, ‘Big Booty.’

Sampling a 2 Live Crew classic to do their dirty work, listen inside as the two trade verses over their love for big backsides:

Season 45 of ‘SNL’ continues to rock on with a little help from the year’s top hitmakers.

After last week’s gravity-defying performance from newcomer Billie Eilish (as we reported here), this week Taylor Swift upped the ante with live renditions of selections from her latest chart-topping LP, ‘Lover.’ On her fourth visit to the ‘SNL’ stage, Taylor tapped album cuts ‘Lover’ and ‘False God’ to give fans a true taste of what they can expect to see when she headlines this year’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour (click here for dates).

Ahead of that outing, look below to see TayTay do her thing (if you missed the action):

‘Bring ‘Em Out’ hitmaker T.I. brought out the worst in Nicki Minaj fans (affectionately called #Barbz) when he proclaimed the recently retired rapstress did not deserve a slot on the ‘Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All-Time’ tally.

Taking to his podcast, ‘ExpediTIously,’ the 39-year-old waxed honest on his thoughts about Hip Hop’s history-making figures while trying to compile a list of the most noteworthy emcees to ever touch a mic.  When the discussion on women’s impact on the genre came forward, the Grammy-winner was adamant Minaj and Lil Kim – two of the most celebrated female rappers in history – did not both deserve listing in the top 50.

“It’s between Lil’ Kim and Nicki [Minaj],” said T.I. “I don’t think we can have both because they are a direct reflection of one another.”

Ultimately deciding on Kim over the Harajuku Barbie, his selection infuriated a number of the ‘Megatron’ maestra’s fans (who took to Twitter in droves to voice their disapproval).  See the reactions inside:

Much to the dismay of Iggy Azalea (click here to read why), Lizzo logs another frame atop the Hot 100 with her breakout hit, ‘Truth Hurts.’

Placing her that much closer to tying the all-time record for longest running #1 Rap single by a female (currently held by Azalea’s 2014 hit ‘Fancy’), Liz (born Melissa Jefferson) has yet another week of handsome streaming, digital downloads, and radio airplay to thank for the tune’s ongoing domination of the charts.

‘Fyre’-starter Ja Rule was in the hot seat on Sunday’s episode of BRAVO’s ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ (October 6).

Formally on hand to discuss his role on the WeTV reality series ‘Growing Up Hip Hop: New York,’ the ‘Always on Time’ hitmaker took a little time to shade longtime rival 50 Cent to remind viewers their nearly 2-decade long feud is still alive and well.

As if that wasn’t enough, Rule also weighed in on those pesky rumors his longtime collaborator Ashanti was the real vocalist behind his #1 hit with Jennifer Lopez, 2001’s ‘I’m Real.’

Hear him discuss all this and more inside:

Tyler Perry broke new ground this weekend with the opening of his own studios.

Aptly named Tyler Perry Studios, the Atlanta based space is the first operation of its kind to be fully Black owned.

The launch ceremony was attended by a who’s who of Black Hollywood – with one of the most notable guests being Beyonce. 

Clearly moved by Perry’s monumental venture, Queen Bey took to social media to share an impassioned congratulatory message.
