Usher is wowing crowds at his Las Vegas residency and recently treated a host of familiar faces to a close-up view of his widely praised spectacle.

Housed at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the latest show of the concert special was attended by a number of notable stars – including Normani (pictured above with the icon), Kevin Hart, Omarion, Floyd Mayweather, Jill Scott, Tyga, and many more.

Like the thousands in the capacity crowd, they watched as the veteran delivered dynamite performances of hits such as ‘Yeah,’ ‘Confessions,’ and ‘U Remind Me’ from the mega-selling ‘8701’ album – which celebrated its 20th anniversary over the weekend.

Comprised of 11 electrifying tracks, the LP features contributions from mentor Don Jazzy, London, Louddaaa, and Andre Vibez.

Cop a gander of Normani!

The 25-year-old appears on the colorful new cover of Allure Magazine.

Landing on the heels of the launch of ‘Wild Side’ – her scorching new single with Cardi B, the feature sees the star assert her worthiness.

Ironically, while her former group Fifth Harmony cranked out a hit named ‘Worth It,’ the singer opens up about feeling anything but that during her time in the band.

Now, though, armed with an unshakable self-confidence and creative independence, she’s strutting ahead full steam to higher heights.

Beyonce is back and fittingly blazes the cover of Harper’s Bazaar‘s ICON issue.

The stunning feature arrives ahead of the superstar’s 40th birthday on September 4 and in many ways functions as a gift to fans.

For, beyond posing it up for a full-spread lensed by Campbell Addy, the reclusive singer gave a rare interview and left no stone unturned.

Within the feature, she opened up about her life in earnest – personal and professional.

She opened up about purposefully taking a Sade and Prince approach to fame, the private hardships she faced behind the scenes, motherhood, her public perception, IVY PARK, incoming business ventures, and the fact she’s been working on new music for a year and a half.

Of the hotly anticipated material, Queen Bey – who rarely speaks about her music before its release – confirmed: “it’s coming!”

Over its 63-year history, the Billboard Hot 100 has never experienced anything quite like Justin Bieber.

At just 27-years-young, the GRAMMY winner – already over a decade into his career – has amassed an unrivaled number of accolades on the tally which include being the youngest act to amass 100 Hot 100 hits, the only male vocalist to debut atop the tally 4 times, most top 10 debuts among male vocalists, and countless others.

As he ascended to #1 on the tally with his The Kid LAROI-shared hit, ‘Stay,’ this week (as we reported here), Bieber is now being penciled in history books for yet another insane feat!

That changed this week, however, after Dua Lipa‘s ‘Levitating’ rose into the ranks.

DaBaby has tasted sweet success in recent years, but his popularity has been souring of late in the wake of shocking homophobic and anti-HIV comments he made on-stage at Rolling Loud Miami.

As extensively covered here on That Grape Juice, the rapper was slammed in earnest by his peers, dropped from brand campaigns, and eliminated from a growing list of festivals following the remarks.

And while many have rolled their eyes at the defensive tone of his “apologies,” the MC has found support from none other than Nick Cannon.

As reported, the media-maestro stopped by The Breakfast Club this week and during his visit, he was quizzed on DaBaby’s predicament. Largely in light of how he managed to weather his own firestorm after making anti-Semitic comments last year.

Chopping it up with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, Cannon claimed that the situation with DaBaby is a teachable moment of “education” for the star. He went on, however, to slam cancel culture and express disapproval of “mob rule.”
