Unwrapped less than a month after his sophomore LP, ‘King of R&B,’ debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 (click here to read), look inside for your first listen to ‘Christmas in Decatur’:

Just two weeks after nabbing a ratings winner with Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Merry Liddle Christmas,’ Lifetime struck TV gold again with another Platinum-selling R&B diva:  Ashanti.

As we reported here, the Grammy winner played double duty as she not only led the cast of ‘A Christmas Winter Song’ – one of the channel’s whopping 30 holiday films this season – but was also credited as a producer. Also starring Stan Shaw, Sashani Nichole, and many other familiar faces, ‘Song’ – which premiered on the women’s network on December 14 – went to ratings battle against some of cable’s top rated news, sports, and reality programming.

Viewers who tuned into Julianne and Derek Hough‘s NBC Christmas special, ‘Holidays with the Houghs,’ were given a dose of R&B stage blazer Ciara as she was on hand to perform a crunk mashup of yuletide classics (December 16).

Kicking the showing off with ‘Winter Wonderland,’ the Grammy winner – donning a red leather mini coat and matching thigh-high boots – pushed the performance into high gear when she launched into a bass-heavy remix of ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’ and more.

Even interpolating sonic and dance elements of her 2018 platinum hit, ‘Level Up,’ into the routine, look inside to see Cici show ’em how it’s done if you missed any of the action.

When Cardi B says she’s about her sh(money), she isn’t joking.

This year saw the Bronx bred beauty branch out into the TV arena when she signed on to judge Netflix talent-search ‘Rhythm + Flow.’

During the press run for the show, which also featured T.I. and Chance The Rapper as panelists, the femcee playfully touted her pay-packet as one of the key incentives for her joining.

Once a formidable duo, Jay-Z and Kanye West found themselves at opposite ends – both personally and professionally. The latter of which saw Ye’ break-away from HOV’s TIDAL streaming service in 2017 and mull legal action over (alleged) unpaid royalties.

What’s more, the controversial MC took aim at Jay and wife Beyonce publicly during a concert meltdown; bemoaning The Carters skipping his media circus wedding to Kim Kardashian and the lack of interaction between their children — amongst other grievances.

Unsurprisingly, sans a few not-so-coy-clack-back lyrics on Jigga’s 2017 track ‘Kill Jay-Z’ – there’s been a palpable muteness from both parties about the other since.

That is until now.

As reported, the pair were spotted interacting at Diddy’s 50th birthday bash. And according to a new report, they mended fences before then.
