Small talk wouldn’t exactly be the best way to describe the conversation between #KatyCats as they slammed their fave, Katy Perry, for mishandling her latest two singles, ‘Never Really Over’ and ‘Small Talk’ (the first releases from her yet-titled sixth studio album).  While the former initially promised to be a return to chart glory for the 34-year-old with its #15 debut on the Hot 100, the latter – with a #81 peak on the same tally –  never really got off to a fighting start even after its accompanying music video premiered to critical acclaim.

For the tunes to have reached their respective peaks organically suggested, at the very minimum, the buying public was still receptive to what Miss Perry has to offer.  A feat that, if aided with proper promotion – the Cats believe – would give them a much needed boost toward higher peaks and longevity on the charts.  The absence of that awareness building only led their frustration from heated to boiling once it was announced the diva would be taking to television yet again to promote a venture that was unrelated to her new music.

As of time reported, Megan Thee Stallion‘s riding high with not one, but TWO Hot 100 Top 40 hits courtesy of the Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign-assisted, ‘Hot Girl Summer’ (#21), and DaBaby-assisted hit, ‘Cash Sh*t’ (#36).

To give each cut a boost, the 24-year-old’s continuing her trot across the promo trail in their respective supports.  Just two weeks after giving the former its television debut (click here to watch), Stallion – with help from Ty and DaBaby – gave fans another live taste of ‘Summer’ before the season comes to its official close.  Taking to ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ on Thursday (September 12), she also rendered a rendition of ‘Cash’ for good measure.

‘Old Town Road’ star Lil Nas X (born Montero Hill) may have seen his follow-up, ‘Panini,’ gallop to a #16 peak on the Hot 100 (to date), but thanks to the enduring success of the former the 20-year-old had to pump the brakes on its promotion.

That all changed with the 2019 MTV VMAs when Hill took to the stage to unveil a futuristic performance, a theme that transcended to the song’s official music video that premiered just two weeks later (click here to watch).  Now, in a bid to pad the positive impact of the visual on the ‘7’ tune’s Hot 100 commercial performance, Hill’s teamed with rapper DaBaby (born Jonathan Kirk) for a remix.  Taking to Twitter to announce, Hill – who’s earned quite the reputation for being an “internet troll” – said the Kirk-assisted revamp would be the first of 25 the tune received over the life cycle of its promotion.

While we await news on if that’s true or not, look inside to hear what the duo cooked up:

Longtime fans of ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ singer R. Kelly didn’t know what to believe after reports rang out the Grammy winner was a no-show to address charges he’s due to be tried for in Minnesota for “engaging in prostitution with someone under 18” and “soliciting someone for sexual contact.”

Set for a hearing scheduled at Hennepin County Court for 1:30 p.m. on Thursday (September 12), his absence – despite the Minnesota D.A.’s office being fully aware he is currently detained in a Chicago jail where he’s being held for federal sex crimes – sparked the issuance of a bench warrant by the presiding judge.

Needless to say, Kelly’s attorney – Steven Greenberg – is not in favor of the imposed consequence.  Look inside to see his response:

She may nab more headlines for controversy than her music, but even with her surplus of negative publicity it’s hard to diminish the talent of rapstress Azealia Banks.

When not pissing off the masses, the 28-year-old’s dropped isolated singles over the past few years to tide fans over after the release of 2016’s ‘SLAY-Z’ mixtape.  Even going as far as posting the full tracklist to ‘Fantasea II’ – the precursor to her long-awaited sophomore album, ‘Business and Pleasure’ (that’s now due for a 2019 release), Banks has confused fans and news outlets alike about which of her wealth of musical gems are tied to which parent project.

Now, laying that confusion to rest, the Rap diva’s taken to Instagram to announce the release of ‘Yung Rapunxel Pt. II.’  Never the conventionalist, she’s rolled out the project in quite the unique manner.  See what we mean below:
