Little Mix, in many ways, have remixed the “girl band” narrative.

Having won The X Factor in 2011, the Pop quad have amassed eight-years of non-stop success – seemingly growing more potent by the project.

Their trajectory deviates from the tried and true story of such collectives, which – by now – would have seen the ladies dabble in solo careers, reality shows, and indefinite hiatuses. None of which has been the case.

With 2019 underway and latest album ‘LM5’ still in promo cycle, the Little Mix have their eyes on cementing themselves Stateside.

In the wake of the shocking abuse allegations levied in Lifetime’s ‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ the singer has been slammed left and right. Indeed, on an almost daily basis, both the public and his peers have been condemning the fallen 52-year-old.

However, he appears to have found an ally of sorts in the form of rapper French Montana.

TMZ caught up with the MC last night and quizzed him about the topic on everyone’s lips and his words will no doubt surprise many.

For, while stopping short of giving the star an outright endorsement, French claimed Kelly has long made clear who his is lyrically and that he should “be allowed to enjoy his legacy.”

He also seemed to imply that the “take down” was the result of a higher agenda and drew connections to Michael Jackson – this, despite the latter being cleared of all charges.

To say Tekashi 6ix9ine has dedicated fans would be an understatement.

Despite the rapper’s RAP sheet including mention of gang-related offenses, sexual misconduct with a child, and recent racketeering charges that led to his arrest and current imprisonment, projects raised in support of the 22-year-old (born Daniel Hernandez) have only gained steam as his efforts for freedom have been met with roadblocks.

The most headline-grabbing endeavor in Hernandez’s favor came in the form of a petition that seeks to convince a judge to reconsider releasing him on bail.
