“So you think I fell off”

Usher chants the lyrics above in newly surfaced song ‘I Still Got It’.

Needless to say, it’s clear the singer has been staying abreast of the latest chitter-chatter surrounding his position in the music industry.

Featuring rapper Migos, the cut sees the Grammy winner directly address the critique – much of which has hit his career following the scrapping delay of album ‘UR’ after a string of pre-release singles under-performed.

And while the 35-year-old continues to diligently work on the project, he uses this track (which will feature on upcoming Digital Trapstars mixtape, ‘Screens On Lock: 4th Quarter Press’) to air his feelings.

As two of today’s top names in music, Chris Brown and Ariana Grande delighted their respective army of fans when they announced duet ‘Don’t Be Gone Too Long’.

However, confusion set in when the release was suddenly scrapped and the track appeared on Brown’s album ‘X’ without Grande’s vocals.

The situation was rendered all the more puzzling when the earlier shot video for the cut was premiered in a “leaked” capacity shortly.

Clearing up the clutter, 25-year-old Breezy sat down with Extra‘s Mario Lopez recently and revealed the real reason for the switch-up: label drama.

Peep the interview below, which also sees the singer dish on penning Jennifer Lopez’s Billboard hit ‘Booty’

With 30 years of success under her belt, Madonna has undoubtedly mastered the art of longevity. The Pop queen has also established herself as a skilled shade-thrower – just check her receipts.

The alleged latest was printed last night on Instagram and was aimed at Lady GaGa.

As earlier reported, Madge sent social media overdrive when a new leaked song titled ‘Two Steps Behind’ surfaced bearing lyrics that seemed geared at GaGa (who she has publicly labelled “reductive” in the past).

Despite denying the claims, the 56-year-old appears to be back to her tricks.

See what we mean below…
