As it relates to the embattled Joe Budden, ‘He Is’ singer Brandy says he is…not someone she could see herself dating any time soon.

Shortly before the rapper-turned-media personality was entangled in allegations of sexual misconduct with dogs and domestic abuse (as we reported here), he discussed the possibility of “shooting his shot” at the GRAMMY-winning songstress – revealing to her brother Ray J that he’s long had romantic interest in her.

While Ray gave his blessing, it’s become apparent B-Rocka doesn’t feel the same as revealed by a recent interview.

Despite lifting official and/or animated music videos for every song on the album, slashing its first-week price twice (as we reported here), and embarking on an aggressive promotional tour in its support, music buyers are apparently still scowling at ‘Smile’ – the latest LP from Katy Perry.

The follow-up to her critically and commercially panned ‘Witness’ (2017), ‘Smile’ – released August 28 – is Perry’s first major label effort to charge into chart battle without a Hot 100 top 10 single preceding it.  Garnering modest first-week sales that landed it at #5 on the Billboard 200, its placement made it her first major label effort since her debut (2010’s ‘One of the Boys’) to miss the chart’s top spot.

Its performance in week 2 spelled even worse.  See what we mean inside:

Teyana Taylor has used the music videos of her third official era, ‘The Album,’ to not only demonstrate her prowess as a director but also make some conversation-worthy statements.

Most recently dropping jaws with her sociopolitical clip for song ‘Still’ (which featured her dressed as different victims of police brutality like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd), the R&B sexpot’s now dropping draws in the new music video for the steamy ‘1800-One-Night.’

The self-directed affair sees Taylor providing late night service as a sex operator and seducing her customers to a private room of their call center.

A revamped throwback to the infomercials of yesteryear, look inside to see the action:
