Chris Brown‘s sleeper hit, ‘Under the Influence,’ continues to awaken renewed interest from the masses thanks to an impressive response at R&B radio and social media.

Originally found aboard his 2019 chart-topping album, ‘Indigo,’ ‘Influence’ didn’t truly begin gaining steam until users at TikTok took it to viral status – a feat that led it to top real-time sales tallies around the world.

Stateside, the song helped Chris make history by making him the first R&B singer to nap over 50 top 40 hits.  And, if peruse of the updated Billboard Hot 100 is anything to judge by, the tune’s victory lap is far from over.

Controversy be damned, Tory Lanez‘ dedicated fans come through again for the embattled rapper.

Unlike his music industry buddy DaBaby, who is experiencing some of the worst commercial activity of his career courtesy of his latest album, ‘Baby on Baby 2,’ Lanez – currently under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for his reported role in shooting Megan Thee Stallion and assaulting R&B singer August Alsina – has driven his latest project into the top 10 of the refreshed Billboard 200 despite minimal promotion during its rollout week.

In news her fans (affectionately called #Azaleans) didn’t exactly fancy, ‘Fancy’ femcee Iggy Azalea has found herself on the receiving end of staunch criticism from her own supporters after they learned embattled Hip-Hop hitmaker Tory Lanez is set to executive produce her next album.

Her first project since announcing her retirement from the music industry last year, the news update about yet-titled LP came from Lanez himself just a week after Azalea bought him a cake to celebrate the release of his seventh studio album, ‘Sorry 4 What?’

And while he seemed thrilled about the opportunity to work with Iggy, who is also rumored to be his girlfriend, her dedicated fans didn’t exactly share the sentiment.

Look inside to see some of the stinging comments.

Tory Lanez may be embroiled in controversy for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion and reportedly assaulting R&B singer August Alsina, but his dedicated fan base didn’t let the noise get in the way of them streaming his seventh studio album, ‘Sorry 4 What.’

Released September 30, the 20-track set – which features Yoko Gold, A Boogie With a Hoodie, and more – came as his first studio effort since 2021’s ‘Alone at Prom,’ which entered the Billboard 200 at #59 (his lowest charting for an LP yet).

And while some expected an even worse fate for ‘Sorry’ given its limited promotion, industry analysts have wielded surprising news about the project’s commercial performance as it’s expected to premiere on charts as the best-selling new Hip-Hop project of the week!

Yet, her swings at bat to recreate that magic for herself were a miss with her first two projects (studio albums ‘Jukebox’ and ‘Coloured’ released in 2009 and 2018 respectively).

Once branded as Muni Long, however, the 33-year-old has been earning long overdue critical acclaim for her efforts under the moniker – a journey that reached a new climax this week as she landed her first top 40 hit.

Jada Pinkett Smith believes it’s a low down dirty shame how her words regarding her sex life with Academy Award-nominated husband Will Smith have been twisted to vilify her.

As fans of her EMMY-winning Facebook Watch series, ‘Red Table Talk,’ know, the 50-year-old dished with her Academy Award-winning friend Gwyneth Paltrow about the challenges of maintaining a long-term marriage – especially related to the bedroom.

“The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey. We started in this at a very young age, 22 years old… I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.’ That’s a huge pitfall.”

After viewers took to social media in droves to slam Pinkett-Smith for what many are calling ‘yet another attempt to embarrass Will’ (following last year’s “entanglement” scandal), she’s taken to Twitter to clap back.  See it inside:
