T-Pain‘s latest single, ‘I Like Dat,’ may have been garnering ample buzz since it’s mid-May unveiling (namely for its clever interpolation of Pain’s own 2007 hit ‘Buy U A Drank’), but – as of time reported – that acclaim has yet to translate into a Hot 100 chart placement.

Ahead of the September release of its parent album, the GRAMMY-winner is looking to turn the tide on the Kehlani-assisted tune’s success narrative by hitting the promo trail in its support.

‘Dat’s first live showing came courtesy of a visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last week (June 9).  Look inside to see the action if you missed it when it first aired.

Thanks to the world reopening and the ongoing critical acclaim of her latest album, ‘The Wild Card,’ GRAMMY-winning songstress Ledisi joins the shuffle of artists itching to get back on the road.

The “retroactive cancellation express” has pulled up to Destiny’s Child‘s door.

17 years after the peak of their ‘Destiny Fulfilled’ hit ‘Cater 2 U,’ the trio have learned the song is under scrutiny for lyrics some women deem demeaning while others suggest the Rodney Jerkins-produced track is anti-feminist and anti-progressive in its promotion of subservience.

As news of the unexpected backlash reached the desk of group member/‘Unexpected’ diva Michelle Williams, she took to Instagram to respond.

3LW‘s introductory hit, 2000’s ‘No More (Baby I’ma Do Right),’ may have put Kiely Williams on the map alongside group members Adrienne Bailon and Naturi Naughton, but for Williams the blessing has also come as an enduring curse.

Over the last few years, the song’s resurged in popularity – not because of renewed interest but due to ridicule of her singing (namely the line ‘playa please’).

Fed up with the jokes, the now 34-year-old – hot on the promo trail for her new BET reality show ‘The Encore’ (which premiered June 9) – took to our friends at ET Online recently to combat the longstanding rumor that she has a speech impediment.

Six months after fans of the ‘Power’ universe waved goodbye to the season one finale of ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ – the first spinoff of STARZ’ wildly successful ‘Power’ franchise – it’s follow-up is ready for liftoff.

Set as a prequel of sorts to the ‘Power’ story, ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ follows young a “Kanan Stark” (Mekai Curtis) as he learns the ins and outs of the drug game in New York in the 90’s.  Produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the series stars Omar Epps, Hailey Kilgore, Joey Bada$$, Toby Sandeman, Shanley Caswell, London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Lovie Simone and Quincy Brown alongside others.

Ahead of its premiere on July 18, look inside for its action-packed trailer.

Tory Lanez shows off his acting and dancing chops in the cinematic music video for ‘SKAT,’ his long-awaited new duet with chart-topping rapper DaBaby.

Directed by Christian Breslauer, Lanez swerves in and out of the fast lane in the high octane clip as he cruises in stolen cop cars, saddles up as a cowboy in the wild wild West, and later zooms past his co-star in a flashy race car scene.

As if that wasn’t enough action, Tory finishes with a full on remake of the legendary dance breakdown from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.

Did the rapper do the King of Pop justice?  Watch inside and you tell us:
