For fans of Aaliyah, confirmation of the release of her first posthumous album came as bittersweet news.

Boasting previously unreleased material from the star, the project’s premise- though welcomed by some fans- has also found itself on the wrong end of many a public opinion. Opinions, which suggest her label, BlackGround Records, have gone against the wishes of her immediate family by crafting the LP.

Now, in an interview with Aaliyah‘s uncle and Black Ground CEO Barry Hankerson taken just this morning, he has revealed the singer’s ex fiance Damon Dash is to assist Young Money’s Drake on producing the piece.

Rihanna may have whipped up an impressive buzz for her new single ‘Diamonds‘ last week, but it seems her ‘Navy’ aren’t as sold on the song as they had previously let on.

Reason being?

Well, despite helping the star generate over 2,000 comments on a single article right here on That Grape Juice upon the cut’s release, the fan base failed to purchase enough copies of the song to secure it a Top Ten position in this week’s Hot 100 tally.

A tally, which saw ‘Blow’ star Kesha fare better than ‘We Found Love’ singer with her latest single.

And the fallout continues.

After maintaining a day’s silence following the video which confirmed their feud, American Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have begun to publicly address the drama.

Taking to Twitter moments ago, Minaj appeared to have a meltdown of sorts when speaking on the icon, going as far as to insuinate that she is being racially targeted. The Young Money’s star’s broken silence comes after Carey phoned in The View today to tell Barbara Walters her side of the “story”.

While Beyonce & Rita Ora took the ‘Barclays Center‘ last night in support of Jay Z’s performance at the venue, it seems their lesser rival Rihanna had ulterior motives in play.

For, in what has landed her some much needed media coverage today, she spent another night with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, who was conveniently snapped with his arm around the star, prompting reports they are back together.

Now check out these pics of Riri leaving the Gansevoort Hotel, reportedly followed by Brown ten minutes later who later joined her at the event, which also welcomed ‘Disparate Youth‘ belle Santigold.
