Letting the cat out of the bag on the morning and daytime series respectively, Jackson revealed she would not only be extending her critically and commercially acclaimed ‘Together Again World Tour’ well into the summer but also would be performing “new music” and other “surprises.”

Quavo wasted little time clapping back at Chris Brown for a diss found on the latter’s latest project ’11:11 [Deluxe]’ released on Thursday (April 11).

The 35-song effort houses the headline-grabbing track ‘Freak‘ (featuring Lil Wayne and Tee Grizzley) in which Brown aims at the former Migos frontman for his rumored romantic relationship with the singer’s ex/EMMY-winning actress Karrueche Tran.

“Now f-ckin’ my old b-tches ain’t gon’ make us equal / Sipping that 1942 cause I don’t do no Cuervo Freak b-tch, she like Casamigos, not the Migos,” Chris rapped on the controversial cut.

Qua tapped producers Atake, Sluzyyy, and JW Lucas to craft the beat of his clap back.

“You did the b-tch wrong and now the b-tch gone, she posted with a thug / Call the b-tch phone, she won’t come home, don’t beat her up,” he raps on the new song’s hook.

Zayn has long let the music do the talking since setting sail on his solo journey.

Indeed, the former One Direction star has stuck to delivering his material in recorded form than performing it live. The rationale for which he has been open about in the past.

However, with a album comes new perspective.

Because Zayn has unwrapped a live performance of ‘Alienated’ – the latest offering to be served up from his fourth studio LP ‘Room Under the Stairs’ (which is due on May 17 via Mercury).

Speaking on the release, the star said:

“‘Alienated’ was the first song I wrote for the album, so it kind of set the tone for the whole project – it shaped the way I  wanted  to  approach  the  sound  of  my  own  voice, the styling of the guitars and the overall sonic direction.”
