T.I. almost came to blows with a fan during a show last night.
For while the rapper was feeling the love and adulation from the crowd, one overexcited male fan copped a feel of something else: T.I’s butt.
Needless to say, the star – who recently hit headlines for seemingly endorsing a homophobic rant – was none too impressed.

After all, her fifth album ‘Joanne’ just hit stores and the 30-year-old promised material for the Bradley Cooper flick.
Now, a new report, has folk thinking otherwise.

Eclectic Pop force Ed Sheeran has unleashed the video for for ‘Castle On The Hill.’
The hit is lifted from the crooner’s third album ‘÷’ (pronounced ‘divide’), which arrives via Atlantic Records on March 3rd.
Debuting within the top 10 of charts the globe over, the cut’s biggest competition has ironically come from Sheeran’s own ‘Shape Of You’ – which hit #1 in the US and UK.
For ‘Castle’s’ visual, home – quite literally – is where the heart is. The British singer shot the story-driven clip in his town of Framlingham.

‘Express Yourself’ singer Madonna has made a career of doing just that, often to the tune of controversy and backlash. Yesterday, however, her outspokenness reportedly got her in hot water with the U.S. government after the pop icon took to the anti-Donald Trump “Women’s March on Washington” to voice her displeasure with the sitting president. Taking the mic, Madge stated:
“Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged,” she said. “Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know this won’t change anything.”
The fiery quote, according to some outlets, allegedly aroused interest of investigation from the Secret Service for violent threats to the President (a report that has yet to be substantiated). Regardless, Madonna took to Instagram to ease worry of fans who feared their fave singer may be going on an unexpected tour soon…of a prison.

From The Vault is back this week with an R&B classic which certainly stood the test of time. Today’s pick is Usher‘s ‘Burn.’
The second piece of one of Pop’s most immaculate trifectas, ‘Burn’ followed monster hit ‘Yeah!’ and preceded #1 ‘Confessions (Part II).’ All three were lifted from the diamond-certified ‘Confessions’ LP, which was released in 2004.
Produced Usher’s right hand man Jermaine Dupri, the track reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 where it reigned for 8 non-consecutive weeks – replacing ‘Yeah!’.
The definition of a worldwide smash, the cut also peaked at #1 in the UK, reached the second place of the Australian tally, and climbed to #11 in Germany.

Jake Nava was the director selected to bring the fiery song to life and he opted for a sensuous yet dramatic visual. The clip showcases Usher and his love interest drifting apart before he drives away for a dance solo on the street.

Unfortunately Mr Raymond’s latest effort ‘Hard II Love’ found itself being exactly that commercially.
Sure it didn’t have a huge single akin to ‘Burn’ to propel it to the top of the charts, but one would think Usher’s name alone should be enough to do so.
It goes to show that “hit singles” are still a necessity in today’s “new rules” obsessed industry. Rather than trying to “out edgy” one another, we wish more artists would realize that made-for-radio (or Apple Music) doesn’t equate to inferior quality, superficial depth or lack of authenticity. Such songs, much like Usher’s ‘Confessions’ singles proved, serve as a powerful vehicle to drive to album success too.
Food for thought.
Brit bred rapper Lady Leshurr brings the heat in the video for ‘Unleshed 2.’
Serviced amidst huge buzz for her debut album, the song sees the wordsmith vent about the drawbacks of life following her rise to prominence with last year’s ‘Queen’s Speech 4.’
Showcasing a variety of layers, the release (which forms part of a series) highlights why the versatile femcee is attracting attention from the likes of Timbaland – who is confirmed to be producing on her LP.
Kelly Rowland looks set to bring the tempo with her long-awaited new album.
The Destiny’s Child graduate turned solo Grammy winner has yet to release a body of work since 2013’s ‘Talk A Good Game.’ In the time since, she’s gotten married and had her son Titan Jewell. She’s also turned her attention to a slew of other projects in the TV, cosmetic, and literary arenas.
Music is still in the mix, she assures.
Speaking in a new interview, Rowland revealed that her upcoming material aims to dominate the dance-floor.

Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Pink are just a few of the names that joined millions across the globe in solidarity for the Women’s March.
Purposefully timed to take place the day after Donald Trump‘s inauguration as US President, the rallies sought to celebrate womanhood and remind of the glaring inequalities that are still a reality. The latter being a core focus of the campaign given Trump’s sexually charged and degrading comments about women.
Beyond lending their name to the cause, the ladies rolled up their sleeves and took part.
Head below to see how…
‘Nobody Knows Me Better’ gospel singer Vicki Yohe should’ve known better than to so avidly announce her support of President Trump and his policies over the weekend.
On the same day a record 2.9 million women marched worldwide to convey a message of complete disapproval for the recently inaugurated businessman, Yohe – a white gospel singer with a strong Black following – took to Twitter to salute the ‘Apprentice’ star and ended up getting schooled by some angry followers in the process.
In fact, the dragging was so merciless she turned her timeline off to protect it from further harassment. See it inside:
