In addition to courting some of Hollywood’s brightest music, movie, and sports stars, Macy’s annual Thanksgiving parade has become the holiday’s biggest event thanks to its inclusion of some of the nation’s most impressive high school bands and, of course, the larger-than-life floats.

This year being no different, Cher, Jon Batiste, David Foster and Katharine McPhee, En Vogue, Pentatonix, Chicago, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Brandy were among the chart-topping artists on hand to provide entertainment at Thursday’s showing (November 23).

With just weeks to go before the global release of ‘Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce,’ Queen Bey has shared a brand new look at the hotly anticipated flick.

And it comes bearing surprises.

As reported, the AMC-helmed movie will spotlight the historic ‘Renaissance World Tour’ – which shattered records.

Beyond spotlighting the megastar’s unparalleled gravitas as a performer, a freshly unwrapped trailer confirms that the Houston reunion of Destiny’s Child members – Bey, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams – with DC originals LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson will feature in the film.

‘Renaissance’ hits the big screen worldwide on December 1.

In April, Hip-Hop fans were stunned when Coi Leray took aim at Latto (born Alyssa Stephens) for lyrics found in the latter’s song ‘Put It On Da Floor’ that were perceived as subliminal disses.

And though she later walked back the initial clap back by suggesting she may have “overreacted,” Coi made it clear she didn’t appreciate being mentioned in any seemingly derogatory fashion – a stance she reiterated recently when she took to ‘The Angie Martinez Show.’

“Nobody should be mentioning my body,” she told Martinez. “As Black women in the industry, the only way that the world is gonna go round the way we want it to is if we come together,” she relayed before suggesting Latto’s statement could have negatively influenced young girls’ perception of acceptable body image.

Stephens may have cleared up the confusion at the time by telling Leray she “loved her body,” but during a recent session with our friends at ‘XXL’ she went on to express how some issues (like Rap beefs) just get blown out of proportion because of overzealous fans.

Via his first official release since 2022’s ‘Donda 2,’ rapper-mogul Kanye West is ready to tackle Billboard charts again with the Ty Dolla $ign and Bump J-assisted ‘Vultures.’

Co-produced by Chords, West, and $ign, the new bop sees Yeezy raise eyebrows with some direct reflections on some of the controversial statements he made last year about Jewish people.

“How I’m anti-Semitic? / I just f-cked a Jewish b-tch / I just f-cked Scooter’s b-tch and we ran up like Olympics,” the 46-year-old rapped.

And while its original (leaked) incarnation reportedly featured fellow chart-topping rapper Lil Durk, the official version of ‘Vultures’ that hit digital streaming outlets does not list him as a contributor.

Look inside to see how he seems to have responded to the omission.

“Baby, go open a Bible/ ‘Causе God knows that sin is a cycle/ Lied to my face, it’s your hobby/ Boy, you fine as hell for a psycho,” the GRAMMY nominee contributes to the updated cut.
