Sister duo Chloe x Halle aren’t letting lockdown halt the push for new single ‘Do It.’

The Parkwood pair took front-stage center on MTV Prom-Athon, a special mounted in support of 2020 graduates (who, given the current circumstance, aren’t able to have graduation ceremonies).

Lifted from sophomore album ‘Ungodly Hour,’ the track has garnered ample traction thanks to its scorching video and a viral dance that’s taken off on TikTok.

Watch them add a fresh dimension to the song with their soulful showing below…

Barely a month after Nicki Minaj fans, affectionately called #Barbz, launched the #DojaCatisOverParty after the ‘Say So’ hitmaker referred to the fan group as ‘scum’ (click here to read more on that), the hashtag has been relaunched – this time due to resurfaced footage that seeks to prove the 24-year-old (born Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini) discriminates against Black people.

Its arrival is rather ironic as it comes just a day after Cat clapped back at Lana Del Rey for comments she made that many deemed racist (click here to read more).  Now, both acts face cancellation. Yikes!

As we reported here, seasoned actress Meagan Good has been subjected to months of murmurs surrounding her alleged practice of skin bleaching – a tactic of using creams or surgical procedures to lighten one’s complexion.

Although she took to social media over the weekend to silence critics who have long accused her of engaging in the practice, the response to her explanation incited elaboration – as delivered via a recent interview with ‘Where is the Buzz TV’ (May 21).

There, Good detailed her recovery process after what she says was an encounter with a falsely-reported licensed aesthetician gone wrong.

Hype around Chris Brown and Young Thug‘s joint offering, the ‘Slime & B’ mixtape, came and went in a blink.

Released on the R&B singer’s 31st birthday (May 5), the 13-song set may have featured appearances from Hip-Hop heavyweights Gunna, Future, Too $hort, E-40, and more, but the absence of traditional promotion (as well as its unconventional Tuesday release) led to an abysmal #55 debut on the Billboard 200 – the lowest premiere of any Brown effort to date.

Although its inaugural positioning was powered by sales of approximately 13,000 SPS, the project fared better on the refreshed Billboard 200 as it enjoyed its first full tracking week.

Look inside to see just how many units it sold in week 2 and where it landed as a result:

With her forthcoming LP, ‘The Album,’ slated for a June release (as we reported here), Teyana Taylor is moving full speed ahead in its support by unveiling not one, but two songs from its tracklist.

Titled ‘Made It’ and ‘Bare Wit Me,’ the pair of bops have been given the video treatment under the directorial helm of Taylor herself.  As the former clip stands as an ode to the graduating Class of 2020 (who were deprived of a formal commencement this year due to the pandemic), the Janet Jackson-inspired latter combines elements of the Pop icon’s classic ‘Alright’ and ‘I Get So Lonely’ videos.

Tapping her basketballer husband Iman Shumpert to co-star, look inside for sexy ‘Bare’ and more inside:

Kesha‘s fourth album, ‘High Road,’ may be her first to lack a top 40 single to its credit, but that hasn’t stopped the GRAMMY-nominee from pressing forward in its promotion.

Having announced the cancellation of its supporting tour earlier this month (as we reported here), K’s kept her promotional jaunts to benefit specials and talk TV – her latest appearance coming courtesy of Tuesday’s episode of ‘Ellen’ (May 19).

Treating viewers to a stripped-back rendition of ‘Little Bit of Love,’ look inside to see her give the Nate Ruess, Wrabel and Stint-written cut the live treatment from the comfort of her home.

Migos keeps the heat a-coming to prepare fans for their reunion album, a project tentatively titled ‘Culture III.’

After Lana Del Rey called out Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Kehlani Doja Cat, and more for ‘wearing no clothes’ and ‘singing about f*cking’ in an open letter to address double standards she faces, she managed to piss off almost every major stan base in music simultaneously (click here to read more).

Needless to say, she endured a merciless dragging as a result – namely from the fan bases of Minaj (#Barbz) and Bey (#Beyhive) who asserted Del Rey’s comments were race-driven due to the dearth of White Pop divas listed in her rant.

As the hoopla continued to dominate headlines, the ‘Born to Die’ diva is looking to dead it by slamming accusations of racism.
