V Magazine spotlights Normani, who they deem “Pop’s new MVP.” 

And we imagine few would disagree.

Since Fifth Harmony‘s” indefinite hiatus” announcement, the 23-year-old has made a number of savvy moves – including inking a solo deal, teaming with some of music’s most notable names, and nabbing a series of hits in the process.

The viral sensation sent the singer’s name into the stratosphere and has set up the firmest of foundations for her hotly anticipated album debut.

As well as posing it up for the publication, the New Orleans native spoke on the LP (due “early 2020”), ‘Motivation,’ and more.

VH1’s refusal to issue a clear statement on its feelings towards Evelyn Lozada‘s colorism/featurism drama has incensed viewers of the show she stars in…‘Basketball Wives.’

‘Basketball Wives‘ royal Evelyn Lozada made headlines earlier this month when she claimed that her feud with co-star OG Chijindu was to blame for the erosion of an endorsement deal she was close to signing.

The deal fell through after the brand learned that Lozada posted an image of a monkey following a Instagram message directed at Ms. Chijindu who is an African woman.

Since then, her message (and the allegedly racist and featurist language she used to berate Chijindu and co-star Cece Gutierrez on camera) has seen thousands take to Twitter to declare that they will pull their support for any company which aligns itself with her.

The latest company who will soon be forced to choose between its profits and relationship with the TV star?

Formally on hand to discuss his role on the WeTV reality series ‘Growing Up Hip Hop: New York,’ the ‘Always on Time’ hitmaker took a little time to shade longtime rival 50 Cent to remind viewers their nearly 2-decade long feud is still alive and well.

As if that wasn’t enough, Rule also weighed in on those pesky rumors his longtime collaborator Ashanti was the real vocalist behind his #1 hit with Jennifer Lopez, 2001’s ‘I’m Real.’

Evelyn Lozada‘s public relations crisis gained a fresh pair of horrid legs this week when YouTubers joined efforts to hold her accountable for what many deem to be anti-black behaviour.

The Reality TV star, who now identifies as Afro-Latina, has seen her brand take a hit following her feud with her ‘Basketball Wives’ costar OG Chijindu. A feud, which has seen Evelyn call the African athlete a monkey and use several racist tropes to mock, degrade and humiliate her.

Unfortunately for her, it has backfired….and an effort to slam claims that she is racist by pointing to her own African heritage was stifled by the resurfacing of the tweet below.

How YouTube’s stars are responding to the drama….and claims that OG has been fired from the series?
