The beef between ‘Love Beats Rhymes’ director RZA and the movie’s star, Azealia Banks, shows no signs of cooling.

As we reported here, the heat was reignited when the rapper took to The Breakfast Club (in promotion of the film) and admitted he did see Russell Crowe spit at Banks during a now infamous Hollywood soiree from last year.  Now, with the increased press, the rapstress has made it known she is NOT here for RZA speaking on her publicly.

Taking to Instagram, she stated:

“RZA has to stop talking about me in the media. Until he is ready to apologize to me publicly he can go back to sucking Russell Crowe’s d*ck for invites to Hollywood parties.

Nobody understands how badly I wanted to die the moment rza LIED and told the world I deserved to be spat. People laugh at me and said I lied. No one understands the amount of pain that came with and after that incident. Just fucking respect me and stop saying me name. @RZA I HOPE YOU DROP DEAD.”

And that’s not all…

It’s been three long years since Toni Braxton released ‘Love, Marriage, & Divorce’ – her collaborative concept album with Babyface.

In the time since, the soulful contralto has focussed on TV ventures and even mulled retirement from music.

Thankfully, the latter never came to fruition and it appears Braxton is about to drop new material.

It’s been an uphill battle for Iggy Azalea in her quest for a comeback hit.

Indeed, despite a smudge of buzz, nothing has “stuck” – a fact fans have been blaming on her team.

Wherever the issue lay, it’s led many to believe her sophomore album ‘Digital Distortion’ will be dead on arrival.

And, according to the rapper herself, that’s exactly what’ll be happening as she confirmed that her label will be releasing no further songs from the project.

The revelation came on Twitter in a series of responses to concerned supporters:

So, in essence, the LP is coming but without any more singles pre-or-post release.

Put simply, it sounds like a literal case of fulfilling a contractual obligation.

In a way we feel for Iggy because the music – love her or loathe her – has not been bad. Indeed, in the case of ‘Switch’ especially, she’s actually been bringing the hotness.

What’s more, the promotion – though seemingly plentiful – rarely felt strategized. Like, why has she been performing songs with no lyric or music video? It’s all rather…odd.

Still, the reality is that the music business is exactly that – a business.

Hence, if the label are not making a return on their investment and don’t foresee that ever happening, then it’s logical why they’d throw the album out without much fanfare.

The lesson for Iggy to chew and swallow is that, as an artist, she has to create her own buzz and likability by any means necessary. Because in today’s climate that’s almost as – if not more – important than the material she’s churning out.

Tonight the world is in a state of shock following what is being reported as terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.

The bomb is said to have gone off in the foyer of the Manchester Arena after the singer performed the last song of the evening on the sold-out stop of her ‘Dangerous Woman World Tour.’

While reps for the 23-year-old have confirmed that she was uninjured, a number fans in attendance are not.

According to police, 19 are confirmed dead and 59 injured.

[UPDATED: Manchester police confirm that the death toll has risen to 22. Fatalities include children.]

The affected were in the process of leaving the venue when the alleged suicide bomber struck.

Moments ago, a clearly shaken Grande released the following statement on Twitter…

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the incident.

Billboard may have honored Madonna tonight as their ‘Woman of the Year’ at this year’s ‘Women in Music’ event, but the Queen of Pop is certainly receiving a royal dragging after her controversial acceptance speech.

The Grammy-winning pop icon is quoted as saying:

“Michael is gone.  Tupac is gone.  Prince is gone. Whitney is gone.  Amy Winehouse is gone. David Bowie.  But, I’m still standing.  I’m one of the lucky ones.”

The statement may have earned an awkward applause at the event, but that damn sure wasn’t the case on Twitter.  See what we mean below:
