After announcing that he had signed to Drake‘s ‘OVO Sound’ label back in the September of 2014, ‘Tuesday’ rapper ILoveMakonnen has been blasted by the performer’s fans after tweets he published back in 2012 were unearthed today.
Why his next meeting with the ‘Take Care’ rapper may be an awkward one?
Full story below…
In the wake of Danity Kane‘s second (and presumably final) split, some members have charged on together, while other others have re-embarked on their solo journeys.
For the group’s nucleus Dawn Richard, the latter is her chosen path.
The singer is readying her new album ‘Blackheart’ for release on January 15th and, in an interesting nod to her DK days, has called on former bandmate Aundrea Fimbres to join her on the song ‘Phoenix’.
A snippet of the track has surfaced ahead of the project’s arrival. Take a listen below…

10 years…
January 4th marks the 10th anniversary of a club-banger that a decade on still gets the dance-floor ablaze.
Today’s From The Vault pick is the colossal ‘Get Right’ by the ever-fierce Jennifer Lopez.
At a time when the world was growing tired of her media presence following the “Bennifer”episode , Ms. Lopez – with this single – was hoping to right (pun intended) the wrongs caused to her image and reposition herself as an entertainer. Needless to say, it turned out to be just what the career doctor ordered.
Helmed by ‘1 Thing’ maestro Rich Harrison alongside Corey Rooney – with Usher also participating to the song’s development – it was based around an infectious horn riff from the collaboration between James Brown and Maceo and The Macks, ‘Soul Power’.
The diva’s first release in over 18 months, it was met with favorable reviews as well as generous chart positions. Reaching the 12th position of the Billboard Hot 100, it topped both the UK Singles Charts and the World Singles Official Top 100.
Opting to unleash the song and the video the same day (a rarity at the time), it made it near-impossible for folk to disassociate the funky track from its high-octane visual. Francis Lawrence allowed Jen to tap into her acting-skills by portraying a multitude of characters all present at a hyper hip club where ‘Right’ is playing.
Renown for its editorial-looking dance-break (which remains all sorts of epic), indeed it is the kind that makes one feel like the world has stopped and nothing else matters.
The 10 years that separate us from ‘Right”s release have seen Lopez experience career ups and downs; from successful stints on American Idol, to hit singles, to not so successful albums, and a dwindling radio potency.
Still, with a rumored Vegas run on the cards, it seems the ride is anything but over for the Latin beauty and from where we stand, she seems hungrier than she has ever been, which in turn has our appetite for new music from her even more
It will be interesting to see where J.Lo will go next. Wherever she navigates her career, we’re keen to bet that 10 years from now, her star will still be shining bright.
With his plans to release a Destiny’s Child biopic exposed by ‘Sony’ “hackers”, Mathew Knowles has come forward to spill a number of details about the forthcoming big screen release.
Speaking to the ‘Wall Street Journal’, Knowles bared all when quizzed on the project and his current ties to the group’s members who he hopes will reunite to support the project.
Will his plans come to fruition?
