When questions about embattled R&B singer R. Kelly are raised you can bet his former protégé, ‘Can’t Raise a Man’ maestra K. Michelle, is never one to shy away from them.

Though the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star came under fire in January for comments some perceived as supportive of the Grammy winning singer-songwriter (despite the backlash that ensued after Lifetime’s scathing ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ documentary), she later clarified the statement and has since stood in solidarity with the accusers.

Recently quizzed again on Nick Cannon‘s Power 106 FM radio show about her thoughts on Kelly’s ongoing legal woes, Michelle emphasized her belief that while he is deserving of the backlash, she can’t help but be concerned about the man she once called friend.  Later comparing his scrutinization to that of King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley‘s, the songstress somewhat implied the treatment Kelly’s endured to date has been unfair.

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:
