Last month, ‘The Heist’ performer Macklemore made headlines when issued an apology to rival Kendrick Lamar, doing so via a text he later went on to publish here.

What he apologised for? Beating him at the 56th annual Grammy awards, dominating categories many believed would be ‘owned’ by the ‘Poetic’ rapper.

Unfortunately, the pair’s mutual rival Drake hasn’t taken too kindly to the apology, billing it ‘weak’, ‘cheap’ and calculated during a recent interview with Wenner‘s ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine.

If there’s one thing to be learned from Mariah Carey‘s promotional run this morning, it’s that the icon should avoid live interviews…wherever and whenever she can.

For, after being showered with praise and love after the release of new single ‘You’re Mine’,  the star’s entitled and at times irritating personality saw her rain on her parade when she arrived at ‘The Breakfast Club‘ to promote the aforementioned hit.

It was there, seemingly under the influence of alcohol, the star revealed just how ‘out of it’ she really is when quizzed on a number of hot topics…including Beyonce –whom she stresses that she is a fan of- and her smash hit single Drunk in Love.’

A seemingly ‘boozed up’ Mariah Carey touched down at ‘The Breakfast Club’ this morning, hitting the thriving radio outlet to promote her brand new single, ‘You’re Mine’ and the March release of its supporting album.

Alas, as is often the case with Mariah interviews, it didn’t take long for the conversation to take a ‘shady’ turn- straying away from the ‘agreed-upon’ topic of discussion, and landing on Nicki Minaj territory and her supposed tardiness to the ‘American Idol’ set during the pair’s time on the show last year.

On May 6th 2014, Mariah Carey will grace the world of music with a brand new studio album- marking her fourteenth effort since the birth of her self-titled debut in 1990.

So, in a bid to win over the general public’s support before the album drops, the ‘Butterfly’ spread her promotional wings this morning, landing at a number of different radio formats to push the project.

Her latest stop? ‘The Breakfast Club’, where she answered on questions on the new release, her contemporaries and that feud with Rap songbird Nicki Minaj.

She may not have breathed a word about it at the time, but legal documents published today have revealed the Pop vixen Rihanna suffered a bankruptcy scare in 2008, brought on by a supposedly incompetent accountant.

The wait is over.

Mariah Carey‘s eagerly anticipated new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’ debuted literally seconds ago.

Produced by hitmaker Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, the blazing ballad is the latest song to be lifted from the diva’s 14th studio album (which arrives on May 6th).

Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jenkins is to thank for Mariah Carey‘s latest offering today, the hit-maker responsible for building the song bird’s brand new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’, pulled from her forthcoming studio LP.

Now, as its original version continues to attract rave reviews and reignite interest in its supporting album, Carey goes the extra mile by sending its remix to the world minutes later.

This reworked version, featuring R&B chart regular Trey Songz (who does away with the Hip Hop cliches that threaten to cheapen his sound), joina Mariah on a romantic- and hopefully chart-dominating- journey.

It’s here!

Ashanti‘s video for ‘I Got It’ featuring the “bawse” Rick Ross was unwrapped moments ago on BET’s 106 & Park.

The high-octane clip is the latest visual to be rolled out in support of the singer’s fifth studio album ‘Braveheart’ – which finally lands in stores on March 4th.

Much ado has been made about the project, but can its latest clip salvage matters ahead of release? You be the judge after the jump…

The Carters are in a sharing mood.

Over the the course of their union, Beyonce and Jay-Z have made it routine to rarely speak about their private life. However, recent times have seen the power couple appease the masses by showing and sharing their activity rather than speaking about it.

The latest insight into the ‘Drunk In Love’ duo’s world came courtesy of King B, who moments ago posted new snaps of her family on vacation in the Dominican Republic on Instagram.

A brief break of sorts, the holiday comes one week before Bey’s ‘Mrs Carter Show Tour’ reconvenes and, if reports are to be believed, one week before she hits the stage at the 2014 BRIT Awards.

Work hard, play hard, ay?

Kelly Rowland turned 33 today.

The R&B songbird celebrated in style by stopping by ABC staple The View this morning.

Naturally, Barabra, Whoopi, Sherri and co didn’t hold back with their questions, quizzing the Grammy winner on her recent engagement, fitness secrets, and the X Factor USA‘s recent cancellation.

The latter was particular interesting as Rowland has remained relatively mum about the end of the show, which she joined last year as a judge- quickly becoming one of the most popular panelists.

What did Ms. Kelly have to say about everything? Find out below…

Has Frank Ocean been blacklisted by ‘Black’ music?

If an opinion T-Pain is anything to go by, the answer- rather unfortunately- is yes. Indeed, in a recent interview with DJ Vlad, the ‘Go Girl’ rapper has revealed that numerous Hip Hop staples have decided to cut all ties with Ocean…because of his supposed sexual orientation.
