With a career spanning almost twenty years, Lil Kim is undoubtedly one of Rap’s more popular living legends.

Yes, while recent years have seen her ‘mainstream’ appeal fall prey to irrelevancy, there is no denying the ‘No Time’ Rapper’s mark on Hip Hop culture and the short but sweet time she enjoyed as Pop’s reigning MC circa 2001.

So now, weeks after confirming the release of new material, That Grape Juice presents…

‘Relighting Lil Kim’

Perhaps in a bid to sully Nicki Minaj‘s public image and soften her own at the same time, iconic diva Mariah Carey arrived at  an ‘American Idol’ photo shoot in Baton Rouge yesterday…with a police escort.

This, following a threat she claims- but vehemently denied by ‘Idol‘ producers and Minaj herself- saw the Rapper threaten to shoot her after getting into a nasty argument on Monday while filming together.

Sure to intensify their already volatile relationship, Mimi’s decision to call the police and discuss the matter with ‘The View’s Barbara Walters is believed to have triggered an obnoxious Twitter rant from the Pepsi front man.

A rant, which saw her spew the following:

I guess it hurts 2 have the producers tell u to ur face that nicki is the best judge we’ve had since simon. Awww, poor u. Keep them lies cmn

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) October 4, 2012

Here’s hoping this year’s talent isn’t overshadowed by this week’s drama.

We also hope Minaj learns to showcase the class and composure she didn’t deliver during last night’s outburst. An outburst, that was both embarrassing for both herself and the brands she depends on to push her cause.

Your thoughts?

Soul-filled singer Miguel has much to smile about this week. For, his hotly anticipated sophomore set ‘Kaleidoscope Dream’ is not  only riding high on iTunes, it’s been also received showers of praise from critics.

During his recent trip to London, That Grape Juice caught up with the eclectic star for a unique chat. Filmed Diary-style enroute to his sell-out show at the Jazz Cafe, we spoke on the new LP, the hyper-sexual lyrics of his contemporaries, his previous “image”, and more.

Hit ‘PLAY’ to watch ‘A Car Ride…With Miguel’.

In a week where tea is pouring faster than Rihanna releases albums, Nicole Scherzinger is next up next.

The former Pussycat Doll is set to feature on the next episode of VH1’s  series ‘Behind The Music’, and in deviating from her usual brand of “PC” Scherzinger is laying it all out on the table. Most notably, her frankness on her time in the Platinum selling group.

Indeed, many would have paid to be a fly on the wall during PCD’s tenure; one which saw six people performing, yet only one  (Scherzinger) singing. It’s a setup which dismayed many who saw ample potential in fellow member Melody Thornton.

Now, after a lengthy silence, the X Factor UK judge is breaking her silence. Peep a preview of ‘Behind The Music: Nicole Scherzinger’ below…

“Shout, shout, let it all out…”

Chris Brown is singing his story loud and proud. For, in light of ample speculation surrounding his personal life, the stage blazer has released a video professing his love for both Rihanna and ex-Karrueche Tran.

Drunk in the back of his car, the professionally edited confessional features a somewhat coherent Brown confirming Rihanna as the reason for his break-up with Tran and that it’s unfair  to put the latter in such a position.

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.

As the release of Leona Lewis‘ third studio album ‘Glassheart’ inches nearer, a full preview of the LP has been mande available.

Several years in the making, the set (due on October 15th) is preceded by singles ‘Collide’ and ‘Trouble’ – which has garnered a largely favourable response.

Does the rest of the album pack heat enough to relight Ms. Lewis’ movement? You be the judge after the jump…

If you thought the drama between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey would soon simmer, think again. For, Young Money Minaj is still at it on Twitter, and has now taken aim with fellow femcee Da Brat – who, as Carey’s friend, is said to have “dissed” her. Only problem, Da Brat claims her supposed comments are fake and that she hasn’t said anything.
