As the year draws to its close, we can expect many-a-year-in-review list to surface in salute of the people and moments that made 2022 great.

Among the first and most anticipated (on the global front) to roll out is Hola! USA’s Latina Powerhouse Top 100 – an “annual initiative celebrating the most influential, empowering, and inspiring Latinas.”

Toasting the Latina girls who run the world, the list is comprised of women who contribute to Latin culture and communities Stateside and abroad by using their influence in their respective fields to make lasting impacts.

Printed among the big names who made the cut for this year’s list are powerhouse vocalist Christina Aguilera and chart-topping Pop diva Camila Cabello.

Iggy Azalea is full of surprises.

Barely a year after the GRAMMY nominee dropped jaws for announcing her retirement from the music industry, she updated her dedicated fan base (affectionately called #Azaleans) that she had reversed the decision and ultimately cited improved confidence as the reason she wanted to return to the stage and studio.

Now, just a month after promising she was hard-at-work on a new album and supporting solo tour, it’s been revealed her rumored boyfriend – controversial Canadian rapper Tory Lanez – will helm the project.

DaBaby may have watched his first three albums soar to top 10 glory on the Billboard 200 (with two even topping the tally), but his fourth – the September 23-released ‘Baby on Baby 2’ – doesn’t seem poised to deliver a similar commercial performance.

Cardi B fans, affectionately called #BardiGang, know she doesn’t hesitate to show love to the big hits of other artists.

And while she’s collected many awards for her Rap skills (often to historic measure), the 29-year-old has never been shy about flexing her singing as well – even offering interesting a capella renditions of Beyonce‘s ‘Love on Top’ and ‘Break My Soul,’ Normani‘s ‘Motivation,’ Selena‘s ‘Como La Flor,’ and more over the years.

More recently she took to social media to demonstrate her vocal dexterity by tackling ‘When I See U,’ the signature tune of fellow GRAMMY winner Fantasia.

Once the ‘American Idol’ alum got wind of Cardi’s adventurous take on the 2006 smash, she suggested the two find time to make a new hit of their own.

With adulation received from the likes of Whitney Houston, Beyonce, The Clark Sisters, Kirk Franklin, and some of the biggest names in music over the years, Kim Burrell was easily one of Gospel music’s most revered voices.

That was, until a sermon she preached in late 2016 went viral for featuring language many deemed homophobic.

Leading to an unceremonious fallout (see: dropped from radio and TV shows, slammed by celebrities, uninvited from award shows, etc.), the damage done to the legendary diva’s career has seemed irreparable – a status she waxed honest about on the ‘Tamron Hall Show’ Thursday (September 29).

While dishing with the daytime hostess, Kim not only discussed the backlash from that incident (including behind the scenes drama with her former longtime friend Yolanda Adams) but also defended herself against more recent drama from yet another controversial sermon.

Since officially bursting onto the scene with his 2019 debut studio album, ‘Baby on Baby,’ rapper DaBaby has scored four Billboard 200 top 10 placements (including two chart-toppers).

Seemingly poised at one time to be one of the decade’s best-selling emcee, the embattled emcee’s career trajectory took a downturn after he topped headlines for making what many deemed to be deratogory comments about the LGBTQ+ community and people living with HIV/AIDS.

The backlash not only impacted his brand endorsements and ticket sales, but – if the response to his fourth studio album ‘Baby on Baby 2’ is any indication – it has crept its way into the commercial activity of his musical work as well.

Norman, can you handle this?

Only a star of the magnitude of the legendary Norman Lear, one of television history’s most important writers and producers, can boast reassembling Destiny’s Child.

To celebrate his 100th birthday, the iconic girl group (sans leader Beyonce) lent a rocking tribute by performing ‘Moving On Up’ – the unforgettable theme song to his groundbreaking 70’s sitcom ‘The Jeffersons.’

After sending faithful DC3 fans into a frenzy via a preview, the ABC TV event honoring Lear’s centennial – ‘Norman Lear: 100 Years of Music and Laughter’ – aired Thursday night (September 22) and gave viewers a chance to see Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams strut their stuff like only they can.

‘Talk to Me’ hitmaker Tory Lanez can expect to be talking to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) soon for his role in an alleged attack on R&B singer August Alsina.

As we reported here, Alsina took to the net to say he was assaulted by the “receding haired leprechaun” backstage at a concert over the weekend and uploaded bloodied photos of himself as proof of the altercation.

When news began to circulate about the fight, which is rumored to stem from beef between the performers regarding comments Tory allegedly made about August’s Jada Pinkett-Smith “entanglement,” the Canadian rapper (born Daystar Peterson) took to social media to deny the claims – later doubling down on the assertion via an interview with DJ Akademiks Sunday (September 18).

“I don’t even know what this kid is talking about, brother,” he told DJ before saying, “…I don’t know if he’s doing promo. I don’t know what that n*gga is talking about, brother.”

Not even a day later, video footage surfaced that suggests a story different from that of Lanez’ – a circumstance that’s caught the attention of the LAPD.
