Drake‘s new album is titled ‘Scorpion’ and ahead of its arrival, he’s already showing his sting.

The Hip-Hop titan has unleashed  the ‘Duppy Freestyle’ – a diss aimed at Pusha T, who himself slammed Drizzy on ‘Infrared’ – a new song from his freshly released album ‘Daytona.’ He charged the Canadian star with using a ghostwriter.

Clearly unimpressed, Aubrey picks apart the former Clipse member with ferocity and declares that his “demise will be televised.’

But that’s not all. He also had words for Pusha’s G.O.O.D Music comrade and exec producer Kanye West.

Referencing’s Ye’s creative partner Virgil Abloh, Drake rapped:

“I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back ’cus he makes me nervous. I wanna see my brothers flourish to a higher purpose. You n*ggas leeches n’ serpents. I think it’s good that now the teachers are learning.”

As sloppy roll-outs go, few can rival Ashanti‘s “new” single ‘Say Less.’

Released last November, the track’s video arrived six months later in April.

And now, with June in reaching distance, she’s finally pounding the promo pavements in a bid to ignite the song on the charts.

Stopping by FOX‘s Good Day LA with a duo of dancers, the former first lady of the INC served up the cut’s first live performance.

How did she do? Watch below for the answer….

Cruel. Sickening. Nasty.

These are just some of the words to use describe Kanye West‘s decision to license a horrific photo pulled from Whitney Houston’s bedroom after an alleged “episode” and use it to promote Pusha T‘s brand new album.

DJ Mustard may be best known for cranking out some of Urban music’s biggest bangers over the last 5 years, but the 27-year-old hitmaker is showing off his diversity with the EDM-flavored, ‘Anywhere,’ featuring vocals from Pop sensation Nick Jonas.

Reportedly featured on Jonas’ yet-released fourth album, the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Last Year Was Complicated,’ ‘Anywhere’ is said to draw inspiration from the Drake‘s and The Weeknd‘s of the music world (per the singer himself).

Ahead of joining forces to perform the tune live at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards (June 18), look inside to see what Nick & Mustard cooked up:

While her lengthy catalog of hits had already seen her leave her nearest competitors, Madonna and Rihanna, in her rearview as it related to top 40 placements overall, Taylor Swift‘s latest hit – ‘Delicate’ – has only helped cement the distance.

A slow burner in comparison to the success of its ‘Reputation’ predecessors, the Max Martin-produced cut leaped to #36 this week and, in the process, gave the pop princess her 56th top 40 entry.

A historic feat, look for details below:

For the few who needed reminder that Janet Jackson still had “it” (even at 52-years-old), that notice was served at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards when the pop icon popped, locked, and dropped it all across the MGM Grand Garden Arena stage in Las Vegas on May 20 (click here if you missed it).

And, while the showing may have drawn its lowest viewership this decade (click here for ratings), those who did view the spectacle – namely Jackson performing a medley of her top hits – had no problem extending their praise for the singer to social media, streaming outlets, and digital sales forums.

Gospel superstar Kim Burrell came under fire at the top of 2017 for a sermon many deemed ‘hateful’ and ‘homophobic.’  The backlash not only saw many of her industry friends distance themselves, but also saw her lose many-an-endorsement including a television show, radio show, and denied entry to award shows for her reported anti-LGBT stance (click here to read on that).

None of the aforementioned dominated headlines as much as her unceremonious disinviting from the ‘Ellen’ show after fans of the program called for the cancellation of her appearance alongside Pharrell Williams in support of the soundtrack to the film ‘Hidden Figures’ (Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer).  While most of last year and the earlier parts of 2018 saw her ‘hidden’ – keeping quite the low profile since the public damning – the songstress re-emerged recently to assure her faithful followers she was never in ‘hiding,’ but was instead ‘getting rich.’

Going on to namedrop Degeneres in a fiery sermon, look below to hear Burrell sound off on her critics and clap back at those who’ve implied her career is over:
