Fifth Harmony have landed the biggest hit of their blossoming career with ‘Work From Home.’

A smash on most corners of the planet, the track has been performing especially well in the UK where it has thus far peaked at #2.

Seizing on the cut’s popularity in the region (and perhaps hoping to give it the push into the top spot), the Epic Records quintet stopped by BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge today to perform the track acoustically.

Well, that didn’t take long.

Chris Brown has hit back at Tinashe following her comments about about his conduct towards her and Kehlani.

As widely reported, C. Breezy was pummelled by the press after claiming Kehlani’s suicide attempt was a publicity play. In the immediate aftermath, he was unfollowed on Twitter by a number of artists – including Tinashe, who he has just collaborated with on her single ‘Player.’

His response at the time? To shade the careers of all.

Now, after his label-mate voiced her view on the matter (in a rather politically correct manner), Brown wasted no time clapping back.

See what we mean below…

Last week ‘Run It’ singer Chris Brown saw his name running across headlines for all the wrong reasons again.  Indeed, shortly after slamming R&B songstress Kehlani‘s widely reported suicide attempt as “attention seeking,” the Grammy winning beau only brought more negative attention to himself for going off on former collaborators Zendaya and Tinashe for allegedly unfollowing him on social media because of those comments.

Now, T is clapping back.  Lending her two cents on the whole “beef” between she and her ‘Player’ co-star, tuck in below to hear her thoughts:

Ke$ha was dealt a devastating blow in a New York courtroom moments ago.

The Pop star’s entire case against Dr. Luke and Sony Music has been thrown out after a judge disagreed with her claims that she is a “slave” to the hitmaker.

Prior to now, the singer tried to get an emergency order giving her the right to get out of her Sony contract on grounds Dr. Luke allegedly raped her and that the label was tormenting her by holding her to the deal.

As widely reported, that argument was rejected in February.

Find out what the other components of the fuller case were and why it was not upheld below…
