Twitter is still alight with roasting Rich Homie Quan after his less-than-stellar rendition of Notorious B.I.G.’s verse from Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s ‘Get Money’ with Lil’ Kim at VH1’s ‘Hip Hop Honors’ (see the performances here).

Originally some thought he was opting out of the song’s more provocative lyrics for the sake of TV, but further review proved homeboy just flubbed majorly.  After a serious backlash ensued (and is still ongoing), RHQ took to Instagram to offer an apology and his take on what happened.

By most counts, Britney Spears is a Pop icon. However, as she learned with the release of 2013’s ‘Britney Jean,’ she is not exempt from falling foul of public favor.

Hoping to turn the tide, she’s been working an album of new music – and it seems she’s ready to unveil.

As reported, she’s uniquely tying-in the release of her latest fragrance ‘Private Show’ with a song of the same name.

All roads lead to July 29th for Fantasia.

The soul-filled songbird will hatch her fifth studio album ‘The Definition Of…’ on said date – much to the joy of her fervent supporters.

It’s been three years since the release of preceding effort ‘Side Effects Of You,’ during which time the North Carolina native has been touring Stateside.

With songs such of ‘So Blue’ and official lead single ‘Sleeping With The One I Love’ in public domain, what else awaits on the LP? Are there any features?

After spending the latter half of the noughties garnering more misses than hits on the Billboard Hot 100, Jennifer Lopez‘s musical career hit a homerun in the early ’10s courtesy of the RedOne-produced ‘On the Floor.’  With the assistance of rapper PitBull, Lopez’s return to dominance and prominence spelled of much promise until fans were greeted with a number of rehashes of the J.Lo/Pitbull formula over the four years that followed.

The absence of ‘On the Floor’s catchiness and magical flair proved an impotent punch for its successors as all of them failed to come anywhere near its chart performance.  But, while she was hitting a number of sour notes on the Hot 100, Jenny’s star was proving itself hotter than ever thanks to ‘American Idol,’ a hit scripted series ‘Shades of Blue,’ and a hotly-selling Vegas residency.

The reignition of overall public interest in “Jennifer Lopez: the star” may have acted as the catalyst for the triple threat diva to try her hand yet again at her ailing music career.  Tapping an unused number from hitmaking newcomer Meghan Trainor and producer extraordinaire Dr. Luke, the trio birthed ‘Ain’t Your Mama’:  the first official single from Jenny’s 9th album…
