It’s a good week to be Mary J. Blige.

As if being part of a historic, Hip Hop collective at this week’s Super Bowl Halftime Show wasn’t enough (February 13), her new album, ‘Good Morning Gorgeous,‘ is set to rise to the top of R&B charts next week – a feat outshined only by the critical acclaim it’s being given.

But, just as the diva reiterated her request for no more drama during her stunning Super Bowl set, drama is exactly what ensued after the showing as some viewers complained the content was too provocative.

Taking to ‘Ebro in the Morning’ Wednesday (February 16), the Queen of Hip Hop Soul weighed in on the hoopla.  Look inside to see what she said:

R&B icon Maxwell is no stranger to using his music to set the mood for lovers, and this Valentine’s Day was no exception.

Azealia Banks‘ love-hate relationship with Kanye West has been well documented over the years, so it’s no surprise she’d be among the many weighing in on the demise of his short romantic relationship with Julia Fox as he pursues reconciliation with his ex, Kim Kardashian.

For some, however, the ‘Ice Princess’ performer may have taken it a step too far when she – with no provocation – took aim at Fox and the actress-model’s 1-year-old son by referring to her as a ‘sex worker’ and him as a ‘crack baby.’

From its dramatic key changes to its horn-filled instrumentation, Beyoncé‘s ‘4’ hit ‘Love On Top’ has frequently found itself atop the favorite song list of her beloved fans (affectionately called the #Beyhive) since its 2011 arrival.

That praise and adoration continues over a decade later, as evidenced by a Valentine’s Day-inspired Billboard article that ranked the top 50 love songs of the 21st century.

And while her signature, JAY Z-assisted hit ‘Crazy In Love’ (2003) was listed among the picks, it was ‘Top’ that ultimately took the top spot.

‘Heartless’ hitmaker Kanye West is proving he doesn’t live up to his 2008 hit.

The GRAMMY winner, who has made headlines over the last few days for a string of harassing texts to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new beau Pete Davidson, particularly stunned his followers on Valentine’s Day (February 14) when he hurled insults at Pete and suggested physical harm was headed the comic’s way.

His retraction of that statement came after a whirlwind of negative press, with many slamming the 44-year-old music mogul for his threatening action.

Heeding the advisement of insiders on his team, West took to Instagram Tuesday (February 15) to reveal he is ‘learning’ better ways to communicate.

Camila Cabello continues to tease new music.

Case in point, the former Fifth Harmony member has once more taken to social media to tease new music.

The new song is more pop-influenced than the Latin roots of her most recent tunes and teases. Across the song, she can be heard singing:

“House in the hill was a house of cards / blink and the fairytale falls apart / sorry didn’t mean to get so dark.”

While it is unconfirmed, the song appears as though it is about her breakup with fellow singer Shawn Mendes, from whom she split with last year. It is also unclear of it will be on her upcoming ‘Familia’ album, which already contains the previously released ‘Don’t Go Yet.’

Check out the new tune below…
