The vocalist Tory Lanez has been arrested for gun and drugs-related charges.

While in Florida yesterday, the Brownstone-sampling singer was arrested in Florida’s Broward County when he was allegedly caught in possession of a concealed weapon and at least twenty grams of marijuana.

There’s more.

For, he was also locked up for failing to register a motor vehicle, driving without a drivers license and the failing to show proof of car insurance.

He was released after he posted a $1000 bond.

Katy Perry has scored a major coup in her comeback campaign.

The Platinum blonde bombshell has landed her first ever Vogue magazine cover.

Sporting an array of edgy looks, the Pop superstar’s shoot arrives on the heels of recent single ‘Chained To The Rhythm.’

The track didn’t bulldoze the competition as perhaps intended, but with huge promotional spots like this, it’s clear there’s a plan in place for future releases – including her upcoming album.

Hard to believe it’s been nearly 18 years since Sammie broke onto the scene with his tune, ‘I Like It.’

Since then, the R&B singer has had a musical reincarnation or two, but the identity and label changes never got in the way of the Floridian crooner’s devotion to the genre.  Such is evidenced again in his latest release, ‘Better.’

The second offering from his November 2016-released ‘I’m Him’ EP, the bop may be one of many tapping into the “trap-soul” movement (reminiscent of and popularized by Bryson Tiller‘s ‘Don’t’), but Sammie’s ‘Better’ – let us tell it – lives up to its title in a number of ways.

Cop a gander of Fifth Harmony!

The Pop quad channel retro glam in the newest issue of Galore magazine.

Drawing on inspiration from the 70s, 90s, and 00’s, the ladies stun in the eclectic shoot.

It arrives ahead of their much anticipated return to the charts following their headline-grabbing split from Camila Cabello.

In a recent interview, the group revealed that they have been given much more creative control on the follow up to 2016’s sophomore set ‘7/27.’

We’re buzzed to hear it; hopefully it arrives soon after member Normani‘s current stint on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’

Nicki Minaj‘s flood of the airwaves continues.

This time it’s by way of Major Lazer‘s flavorsome new single ‘Run Up’ which also features PARTYNEXTDOOR. 

With the song wracking up over 200 million streams since its debut, its Paul, Luc, Martin directed video arrives right on time.

Speaking on the concept of the clip, which was unveiled moments ago, the trio say:

“The idea was to laugh at ourselves and at the unconditional love we bear to our smartphones. Humor and absurdity came naturally in our speech because our will was not to accuse someone or something but just exaggerate it to foster reflection.”

Decent vid for a decent song.

Check out Rita Ora!

The Pop stunner is gearing up to release her long-awaited new album and graces the pages of Shape Magazine‘s May issue ahead of its arrival.

Striking a number of stellar poses, the former America’s Next Top Model host proves she herself knows how to slay a photoshoot.

Speaking about embracing her own look, the 26-year-old says she loves her body because she has “meat on her bones.”

She goes on to elaborate about changes she’s made to facilitate a healthier lifestyle:

“I’ve been the girl on tour who eats when she can and goes along when the band wants to go out all the time. But you just can’t keep that up. You start thinking, ‘I miss feeling good! This past year, I’ve really been on my game by eating right and going to the gym. As a result, I’m focused now, and I get a lot more done.”

Check out the gorgeous snaps, shot by Arthur Belebeau, below. And look out for Rita’s lead single, which drops imminently.

Brandy is baking new music and is offering up an early taste.

It’s been five years since the Vocal Bible released her ‘Two Eleven’ album and it’s been an uphill battle to produce a follow-up. Principally due to a much publisized legal tussle with her former record label.

With that drama in reported rearview, it’s all systems go for the roll-out of fresh material.

No word yet on the status of the as yet untitled set, but B-Rocka has taken to Instagram to share a snippet of what’s cooking.

Captioning the clip ‘Patterns,’ she teased with the following…

Powerhouse pop vocalist Adele says hello to yet another stunning record on the Billboard charts.

As if dominating charts with her latest album, ’25,’ in ways no other artist has this decade wasn’t enough, the singer/songwriter is leaving her female competitors in the dust yet again with the set’s predecessor, ’21.’

The 2011 album, best known for its Grammy-winning cut, ‘Rolling in the Deep,’ has rolled past legendary singer/songwriter, Carole King, for a jaw-dropping accomplishment among female artists. Tuck inside for details and see this week’s refreshed Billboard 200:
