Azealia Banks may have squandered most of her opportunities by talking too much, but that hasn’t stopped her.
And, given her past antics, why would it? Especially given that she’s just dropped a new music video.
Nonetheless, we digress.
With social media weighing in on Kanye West’s recent dramas, Banks joined in. And quickly took a left to share an “interesting” story about her time working on a Rihanna album. A process she says literally saw her starved by the Bajan belle.
Her words below…
Kendrick Lamar has been criticised for threatening to pull his music from Spotify after it pulled its playlist support from the likes of R. Kelly and XXXTentacion…both accused of assaulting women and girls.
Full story below…
Kelly Clarkson sure knows how to keep busy.
For, fresh from hosting and performing at the Billboard Music Awards last week (and wrapping up the current season of The Voice), the songbird took vocal flight today at the Indy 500.
There, the original American Idol performed the US National Anthem – the ‘Star Spangled Banner.’
Blessed with the uncanny ability to sing any and every thing with poise, precision, and power, Clarkson knocked it out of the park.
Watch her rousing performance after the jump…
The net may still be singing his praises after that jaw-dropping Pusha T & Kanye West diss (click here if you missed that), but Drake is moving on to other things. Back to his emo-inspired jams, specifically, the 6 God has dropped ‘I’m Upset.’
“Thankful for the women that I know / Can’t go 50/50 with no ho,” he raps in the chorus of the stinging track. Ready to hear the latest drop ahead of his new album, ‘Scorpion’?
Look for it inside:
In a realm where Cher, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and more major musical maestras over 40 are redefining what it means to be an “aging pop star,” Gwen Stefani suggests her age is the reason her career is nearing the “end of its journey.”
The ‘Hollaback Girl’ hitmaker – whose last studio album, ‘This Is What the Truth Feels Like,’ debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in 2016 (despite its singles’ lack of impact on the Hot 100) – is gearing up for a highly anticipated Vegas residency at the Zappos Theater at the Planet Hollywood Resort set for kick off next month (click here to read more about that). Ahead of the show’s debut, Stefani took to press to not only dish on the endeavor but also talk about its perfect timing due to her duties of being a mom and…umm…her age bringing her career to a close.
Sparking rumors of retirement almost instantly, read her words inside:
R&B maestro Maxwell is renown for his elusiveness, shunning the limelight when not in music mode.
Well, it looks like another return is nigh.

The flavoursome sound of AfroBeats is drumming up buzz on a global scale; a buzz that packs too much volume to be ignored.
Celebrating the seismic movement is the AfroRepublik festival, which is taking place London’s iconic O2 Arena.
A sold-out extravaganza, the line-up features a who’s who of the AfroBeats scene including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Not3s, Mr Eazi, and more.
With the out of the gate success of its inaugural instalment, the festival is already confirmed for a huge return next year.
Pending then, watch the 2018 AfroRepublik extravaganza live here on That Grape Juice!
A superteam of Hip Hop acts joined forces to help rapper YG deliver the banging anthem, ‘Big Bank.’

Get into it below:
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 want to replay ‘I Know What You Want’ – the 2003 duet from Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey. The second single from Rhymes’ 2002 project, ‘It Ain’t Safe No More,’ the tune – released in March 2003 – was a much-needed hit for the rapper and the then-ailing songstress as it peaked at #3 on the Hot 100 (where it was found this week that year). For Busta, the song helped revive interest in its parent album as ‘I Know What You Want’s single predecessor, ‘Make It Clap,’ failed to make much noise on the Hot 100 (peaking at #46). For Carey, the sales and radio performance of ‘Want’ came as a return to form after a particularly low period in her career following the commercial failures of albums ‘Glitter’ and ‘Charmbracelet’ respectively.
The ‘Butterfly’ singer would later soar back even higher heights on the charts in the years that followed, but Rhymes couldn’t exactly sing the same tune. Though he scored two top 10 hits betwen 2005-2012 thanks to his co-starring role on the Pussycat Dolls’ signature hit, ‘Don’tcha,’ and Chris Brown‘s comeback ‘Look at Me Now’ respectively, ‘Want’ became Busta’s last Hot 100 top 10 entry as a leading act to date.
Look inside to relive the Rick Rock-produced cut and see who joined them in the top 25 this week 15 years ago:
‘Empire’ may have wrapped its fourth season Wednesday (May 23), but Jussie Smollett is busier the ever.
The 34-year-old actor/producer/singer is putting that latter hat into high gear in support of his long-awaited debut album, ‘Sum of My Music.’ With a world tour underway (click here to see dates), Smollett – alongside Stateside supporting act June’s Diary – took to ‘The Real’ recently to not only dish on the venture but also give prospective concertgoers a taste of what to expect.
Look inside to see them perform ‘Hurt People’ from ‘Sum of My Music’:
