Well, that didn’t last long.

Nicki Minaj made headlines worldwide today after “revealing” that she had cooked up new music with Adele.

And while many scratched their heads at the pairing (given their vastly different sounds), excitement seemed to be the primary response that greeted the news.

It’s short-lived, though. Because Onika has confirmed that there in fact is no such collaboration on the cards.

Katy Perry makes a fresh bid for Pop sovereignty with new release ‘Harleys In Hawaii’ – the video for which was unwrapped moments ago.

The butter-smooth bop sees the singer drive in a more Urban-kissed direction following the roll-out of candy-coated cuts ‘Never Really Over’ and ‘Small Talk’ (which enjoyed varying levels of success).

‘Harleys’ serves as the latest component of a clear comeback effort from the star, who has been attempting to find her footing after 2017’s lukewarmly received ‘Witness.’

Having revealed that she’s veering away from the typical album setup and instead dropping songs as and when, she more recently asserted that an LP would surface when fans wanted. Which, to us, reads as “when I recapture my momentum.”

Will ‘Harleys’ spin her wheels in motion once again? Watch the Manson directed visual below and let us know…

Missy Elliott gave a class in ‘ICONOLOGY’ this summer, when she released an EP of the same name.

The set was the first body of work from the femcee in 14 years and was rolled out as a bridge to her long-awaited comeback album.

Still, Elliott – a new inductee into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame – isn’t giving the project the laxed treatment.

Because, fresh from serving up the scorching visual for lead offering ‘Throw It Back,’ she’s gearing up to drop another – this time for ‘DripDemeanor.’

To drum up buzz ahead of its debut, she unwrapped an eclectic cover – snapped by Derek Blanks.

‘Supahood’ serves as the first cut from K. Michelle‘s fourth studio album, ‘All Monsters Are Human,’ to be gifted the video treatment.

Premiering less than a month ago, the fiery cut sees Michelle tap femcees Kash Doll and City Girls star Yung Miami to assist and trade verses about their love for men from the streets.  A conceptual departure for the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star (who in the past has gotten flack for her anti-male perspective), ‘Supahood’ – via its video that doubles down on her oft avoided pro-men stance –  shines as a foretaste to the gems set to line ‘Monsters.’

Curious to see what the trio cooked up? It awaits inside:

November 22nd brings with it the hotly anticipated arrival of ‘Blue Story’ – Rapman‘s cinematic debut.

The Paramount Pictures UK and BBC Films production is the online sensation’s premiere outing on the big screen, following the viral success of ‘Shiro’s Story.’ 

Anchored a stellar cast that includes Stephen Odubola, Micheal Ward (‘Top Boy’), and Kadeem Ramsey (‘Sex Education’), the film tells the tragic tale of a friendship between Timmy and Marco, two young boys from opposing areas.

Rather than celebrate the gang life the flick spotlights, ‘Blue’s director asserts that his aim is to drive home the consequences attached to following such a path.

Ahead of the film’s theatrical debut, check out an exclusive featurette – which includes insights from Rapman and the cast…
