“The show must go on,” so DaBaby is finding ways to laugh through the controversy.

The embattled rapper is still very much on the receiving end of professional and personal backlash for rendering homophobic remarks about ‘men who suck d*ck in parking lots’ and people living with HIV last month (as previously reported).

But, after delivering multiple apologies (to no avail), the GRAMMY nominee recently deleted his final formal statement on the matter from his social media before taking a few days to cool off.

Now, he’s back and appears to be taking the ‘cancelation’ in stride. See what we mean inside:

As extensively reported on That Grape Juice, The Weeknd‘s gargantuan hit – 2019’s ‘Blinding Lights’ – was already etched in Hot 100 history books as it holds the records for the most weeks spent in the chart’s top 5, top 10, top 20, and top 40 respectively.

Now, just two months after the ‘After Hours’ cut became the longest-charting song ever by a solo artist, it now reigns as the achievement’s sole recordholder among all acts.

Beyond a consistent delivery of bops, one thing you can always count on Iggy Azalea for is brazenness.

Having repeatedly used her platform over the years to publicly address private and professional woes, Azalea’s never been one to shy away from tough topics – a stance she’s reiterating during her promo run for her third and final studio album, ‘End of An Era’ (available for streaming now).

In addition to waxing honest about her reason for hanging up her mic (as we reported here), the 31-year-old is opening up about the hardships that came with the creation of ‘Era.’

Taking to ‘The Zach Sang Show’ recently to dish, look inside to hear her detail why she thinks no ‘major artist’ would attach themselves to a song on the project’s tracklist.

Alongside the long-awaited premiere of the Aretha Franklin biopic, the Jennifer Hudson-led ‘Respect,’ came its equally anticipated soundtrack (as we reported here).

An 18-track affair, the project sees Hudson tackle some of Franklin’s most prized hits – including ‘Think,’ ‘I Say a Little Prayer,’ ‘Ain’t No Way,’ and, of course, ‘Respect.’  Yet, the effort’s bid for an Original Song Academy Award comes courtesy of the Gospel-tinged ‘Here I Am (Singing My Way Home).’

Dropped the same day as its parent project (August 13), the black-and-white clip sees Hudson revisit The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church – the very location Aretha recorded her iconic ‘Amazing Grace’ album in 1972.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper‘s ‘A Star Is Born’ may have found love from critics and fans alike; however, Barbra Streisand is not one of them.

During her appearance on the Australian talk show ‘The Sunday Project,’ the GRAMMY-winner slammed the remake and went as far as to say it was “the wrong idea.”

Dua Lipa‘s ‘Levitating’ is simply the sleeper hit no one saw coming.

The song’s original edition, and later a Madonna & Missy Elliott-led remix, made little noise on the charts upon their respective summer 2020 introductions (as we reported here), but now – a year after ‘Levitating’ was officially serviced to radio as a single – the Lipa bop is one week shy of holding the record for longest running top 10 female-led hit in the Hot 100’s 63-year history!

Usher saved the best to last at the concluding concert of the first leg of his Las Vegas residency.

The stage blazer has been rocking The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with classics from his iconic catalog, but it appears the star is keeping to his promise of dropping new music.

Or, at least, teasing it.

Because while waving goodbye at the penultimate show (for now), Mr. Raymond played a snippet of an incoming jam.
