Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan & Stephanie Mills Spill on ‘The Queens Tour’ - Gladys Knight Absent Amid Controversy

Three of R&B’s most revered Queens, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, and Stephanie Mills,  took to their rightful thrones at The Breakfast Club.

The regal trio stopped by the Power 105.1 show to talk the latest leg of ‘The Queens Tour,’ which is powered by the Black Promoters Collective.

Each of the ladies waxed candid about their layered legacies, staying power, and their hot takes on the newer crop of stars in the contemporary music landscape.

Notably absent was Gladys Knight, who has made headlines of late after her son questioned her cognitive abilities as part of claims of elder abuse.

Keeping to the theme (see: keeping it all the way real), the divas didn’t shy away from questions about Knight’s whereabouts.

Young Thug continues to do damage control after leaked audio from a string of phone calls during his stint in jail saw him insult everybody from GloRilla and his ex-girlfriend Mariah the Scientist to industry pals Drake, 21 Savage, Future, Lil Baby, and more.

On Sunday (September 7), Thug took to social media to lend a formal apology to those he offended.

“To everyone involved in this situation,” he wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “I’m sorry this is happening and I hope u guys can forgive me, I’m moving forward with my life – THANK U GOD.”

Just in case someone missed the message, however, he followed on Thursday (September 11) with a musical apology in the form of new song ‘Man, I Miss My Dogs.’

“Drizzy, you my brother / You know I ain’t goin’ against you, I got manners / Everythin’ you did for the rap community, can’t ban you / Never diss you, came to visit me at Cobb County like my kin do / F-ck the jail call, you know the other calls we had,” he rapped over London on Da Track production.

That’s not all he said. Hear the revealing track in full inside.

“I’ll give you everything you ever wanted / You know you can’t lose with me in your life / That’s why I’m rolling the dice, girl / Nobody but us,” he croons over Dre Moon production.

Demi Lovato‘s latest single, ‘Fast,’ may have missed the Hot 100 entirely, but that’s not stopping the 2-time GRAMMY nominee from trumpeting her return to Pop music after abandoning the genre for years to pursue more Rock-leaning efforts.

Her newest swing at bat for Pop charts comes courtesy of the dancefloor-ready ‘Here All Night.’

“Begging for the bass ’til it’s hitting mе right / Sweatin’ on the dance floor under the lights / To get over you / I’ll be here all night / Playing my heart so I don’t start to cry / DJs working late, she’s helping me try  / To get over you / I’ll be here all night,” she sings over an 80’s-inspired, Zhone-produced chorus.
