If there’s anything more talked about than Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake‘s 2004 Super Bowl performance, it’s the aftermath.

And in recent years much of the critique has fallen at the feet of JT, who has been slammed for leaving the legend out to dry by pressing on with his career unscathed while making no mention of the forces at play that impacted Jackson’s trajectory.

So loud has the backlash been of late that in February Timberlake issued a public apology to the Pop queen and cited racism and sexism as variables his privilege ensured he wasn’t affected by.

And while the diva may have scored a hit with ‘Feedback,’ she didn’t offer JT anything of the sort following his declaration.

Now, his manager has allegedly weighed in.

For, the GRAMMY nominee has just released a new song called ‘Brazil’ after unveiling her most recent collaboration with Tyga called ‘Sip It’ (stream it here).

On the track, she raps about her extravagant lifestyle, the amount of money she makes, and how she always stays one step ahead of the competition.

“I’m showing my cards how I play with a King / Heard they was sleeping, I’m breaking the dream / Closing the deal while you making a meal / Superstar status i stay in the Hills / Five hundred thousands to play in some heels / Festival season I’m out in Brazil.“

A 2-year wait for a new musical body of work came to an end for Lana Del Rey fans March 19 with the arrival of her seventh studio album, ‘Chemtrails Over the Country Club.’

The follow-up to ‘Norman F-cking Rockwell!,’ ‘Club’ was undoubtedly released to the pressure of undoing the commercial misstep that was its predecessor given that the 2019 project – despite a #3 premiere on the Billboard 200 – was accompanied by her lowest first-week sales and lowest premiere charting position at the time.

Worry may have set in by March 19 that ‘Club’ was set to follow suit as it entered chart battle as her first studio album to be released without a Hot 100 charting single to precede it.

A truth eventually underscored by the set’s forecasted first-week sales, look inside to see how the inaugural sales performance of ‘Club’ ultimately stacked against industry analyst predictions.
