The emergence of multiple lawsuits since her catapult to the top of charts is showing Cardi B there are many prices to fame.

Just a week after the world learned her former manager, Klenord Raphael, sued her for $10 million (click here to read more on that), news is indicating a previous headline-grabbing lawsuit – filed to the tune of $5 million – will be moving forward despite the rapstress’s legal teams attempt to stop it.

In this case, the plaintiff – Kevin Brophy Jr – claims Cardi used his likeness without his permission and, in the process, put him in a “submissive and embarrassing position.”  Details inside:

Although Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted commended Kanye West‘s importance to the fashion brand, calling the controversial rapper  a “fantastic creator” and “a very important part of [Adidas] strategy,” that has not stopped detractors from calling for his dismissal.

The call comes as part of an ongoing backlash after the Grammy-winner took to TMZ to claim African Americans’ endurance of 400 years of slavery was “a choice” (click here to read more on that). And, while commenters from all walks of life have slammed his declaration, Adidas have declared they are sticking by the embattled star during this trying time.

“We’re not going to comment or speculate on every single comment that our external creators are making..and that’s where I’m going to leave it,” Rorsted said during an interview with Bloomberg TV on Thursday (May 3).

There are over 16,000 signees of a petition who don’t share Rorsted’s stance.  Details inside:

Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.

So, as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’  allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.

This week we’re turning the lens to ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World’ – the lead single from pop icon Prince‘s ‘The Beautiful Experience.’  Released in 1994, the tune – one of the first efforts under his signature symbol (and unpronounceable) moniker and title ‘Artist Formerly Known as Prince’ – ‘World’ is considered the release that solidified his ability to remain a commercially viable act despite the name change and lack of major label support (as it was released “independently”).

Going on to be his first and only #1 in the United Kingdom, the song also fared well Stateside as it eventually went Gold and peaked at #3 (where it was found this week 24 years ago).   It was his last antemortem top 10 hit.

Look inside to see who joined The Purple One on the Hot 100 this week in 1994:

Christina Aguilera is freeing herself from restriction, restraint, and regret on new album ‘Liberation.’

Due June 15th via RCA, the hotly anticipated set (which features production from Kanye West, MNEK, Julia Michaels, and Anderson .Paak) marks Xtina’s first body of work since 2012’s ‘Lotus.’

Rooted in soulful sounds and hard-hitting Hip-Hop beats, the LP is billed as a strip-back of the glossy varnish. Instead, it’s touted as a true return to artistic expression for the superstar songbird.

And she echoes as much in a new promotional video for the album.

Christened ‘Where’s Maria’ (the latter of which is the diva’s middle name), the digital short follows the 37-year-old as she explains the rooting of the ‘Accelerate’ led project and why it’s so important for her.

She also also features previews of new songs – including rumored “main” single ‘Fall In Line.’

P!nk‘s ‘Beautiful Trauma’ world tour, which kicked off March 1 in Phoenix, has already proven itself quite the box office draw.  With its first set of dates reeling in figures superior to that of its predecessor’s firsts, 2013’s ‘The Truth About Love Tour,’ the trek – designed to support her latest #1 album, ‘Beautiful Trauma’ – is undoubtedly off to a beautiful start.

Although the first leg of dates include stops in North America, New Zealand, and Australia and is set to close after a multi-night stint in Auckland, North American fans who complained ‘what about us’ after not seeing their cities listed in the initial batch of stops will be pleased to know there’s still hope.

Announcing 37 additional dates next year across North America, the 2019 leg of the ‘Beautiful Trauma’ tour will see her touch down in New Orleans, Nashville, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping at Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 21, 2019.  Look inside to see if she’ll be stomping to your town next year:
