Kaput! Ke$ha‘s performance at this Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards has been axed – it has been confirmed.

The reason?

Dr. Luke‘s label, to who she is still signed (despite a very public legal battle) has opposed the showing – which was reportedly set to be a controversial reply to her current drama.

British Beyonce fans are drinking up new album ‘Lemonade’ by the gallon.

A chart-topper upon its release almost one month ago, the visual LP has in recent weeks had to take a step back to make room at #1 for Drake’s ‘VIEWS.’

Yet, based on current data, Queen Bey’s only view come next week will be atop of the Official UK Album Chart.

Four long years have passed since Christina Aguilera launched her ‘Lotus’ LP.

That album neither blossomed nor bloomed and in time since she has focussed on her role on The Voice and motherhood.

Promises of music have been plentiful, yet there’s been no definitive word on a timeline. Until today.

Former flames turned feuding thorns.

The fall-out from Ciara and Future‘s relationship has played out all sorts of publicly and today was no different.

Currently engaged in defamation battle, after Ci filed a lawsuit and the rapper lodged a countersuit, the two were at loggerheads over something different – custody of their two-year-old son.

After seeing its lead single ‘Team’ tank and fail to crack the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 (peaking at #42), Grammy-nominated rapstress Iggy Azalea has gone back to the drawing board for her official sophomore album ‘Digital Distortion.’

Coming as the follow-up to 2014’s ‘The New Classic,’ ‘Distorion’ has seen its campaign clouded and preceded by drama (see:  engagement woes, allegations of cultural misappropriation, more) and has had an undoubted uphill battle since its announcement.  But, as revealed on Twitter recently, the saucy Aussie is vowing to press forward with a reworked edition of the set with hopes of generating a better response from the buying public.

Tinashe‘s sophomore album may have been titled ‘Joyride’ – yet the journey to its release has been anything but.

The follow-up to her 2014 debut ‘Aquarius’ has been teased since late last Summer. Yet, almost a year on, it’s still missing in action.

To complicate matters, the 23-year-old singer has not only revealed that she feels the album is done, she embarked on and completed an American tour in support of the project – which, of course, is still not out. Muddying the waters even more is the fact that the LP has thus far spawned several songs including ‘Player (ft. Chris Brown)’ and ‘Party Favors.’

In recent months, the rising star has maintained a silence of sorts. However, it’s becoming clear she hasn’t been relaxing. She’s been working with super-producer Timbaland.
