Sans the ‘white wash’ make up, the Rap beauty was pictured next to her collaborator shortly before the final product reaches their respective fan bases, and weeks after she released her latest cosmetic venture, ‘Viva Glam Nicki 2’ via MAC.

Many may only know her for her portrayal of R&B diva Brandy‘s mother on the hit series ‘Moesha’, but most know that actress Sheryl Lee Ralph prints her name atop a resume of accolades and accomplishments that only seems to grow as each year passes.

Accented by the Jamaica bred beauty’s philanthropic efforts, now Ralph’s newest effort will see her join ‘Dreamgirl’ progeny Jennifer Hudson aboard NBC’s hit musical drama ‘Smash’.

As the music industry waits with bated breath for Beyonce‘s new single, brand partners Pepsi have unveiled another promotional shot of the singer.
The image, which tributes artist Andy Wahol, is the latest snap to surface ahead of the drink’s giant’s full-on media blitz in support of King B’s 5th studio album (due in April).
With a stated view to ensure the project is the Grammy winner’s “biggest yet”, the multi-national are sponsoring ‘The Mrs Carter Show’ world tour, funding music videos, and are (from next month) issuing special edition cans and bottles with the singer’s image on them…
Needless to say, with $50 million being leveraged towards the project, it’s smart guessing that Pepsi Bey will feature prominently on many a Forbes list this year. More power to her.
In the more immediate, though, can we get the single already?! Or at least an announcement of its pending arrival. Kai.
Icon.

The snap above could not be more fitting for the succeeding story as the last month has seen New York-bred beauty Azealia Banks serve (and be served) a seemingly neverending platter of beef.
