Chloe Bailey divided her fans when she took to press earlier this week to announce her new song, ‘How Does It Feel,’ will come as a duet with Chris Brown that arrives February 24.

While some rejoiced at the news of the high-profile features, others expressed disappointment of Bailey’s decision to collaborate with the R&B bad boy given his reported history with women.

Among the latter is former 3LW star Kiely Williams – a singer-actress who is no stranger to making headlines for her outspokenness.

When she set her sights on Brown recently, however, he wasted no time clapping back.  Look inside to see the fiery commentary.

It’s often claimed that time and circumstance can heal wounds. However, the reality is that sometimes it makes matters worse. Case in point the raging rift between Migos stars Quavo and Offset. 

The pair have been at odds for months and a series of social media unfollowings as well as the mounting of a duo effort between Quavo and Takeoff left the group’s future in doubt.

Tragically, a more permanent change in the dynamic was cemented when Takeoff was killed in a Houston shooting on November 1.

In the time since, both Quavo and Offset have paid tribute to their fallen bandmate – but have been noticeably quiet about the status of their own relationship.

Unfortunately, it looks like the flames of fury are still raging between the surviving members of the group and erupted in a major way at last night’s GRAMMY Awards.

Adrienne Bailon-Houghton is getting super candid about her roller coaster journey to motherhood.

As reported, the media maven welcomed her first child – a baby boy named Ever James – with her husband Israel Houghton last year.

At the time, the singer and former host of The Real shared that her newborn entered the world via gestational surrogate.

Now, during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Bailon-Houghton is opening up the more.

Speaking frankly, she unpacks how her quest to become a mom took six years, “8 IVF cycles,” and “multiple miscarriages.”

It was after being informed by her doctors that she was on her last fertilized embryo that surrogacy was suggested and she and her partner proceeded down that path.

As for why she’s opening up, the former 3LW and Cheetah Girls performer says that fertility issues are rarely discussed publicly but she’s found many women share that they’ve experienced them in private conversations.
