Chris Brown‘s being branded a ‘colorist’ after defending problematic lyrics from his new song, ‘Need a Stack’ (found aboard his recently released ‘Indigo’ album).

As the LP is reportedly dusting the competition in the race for the top of next week’s charts (as we reported here), its content – namely ‘Stack’ (which features longtime collaborators Lil Wayne and Joyner Lucas) – has earned a stack of negative criticism from fans upset with the line:

“Only wanna f**k the black b*tches with the nice hair,” he sings.

After Twitter users brought attention to the lyric, the hoopla eventually reached the desk of Breezy.  His responses caused more commotion than the line.  See what we mean inside:

‘Fresh Az I’m Iz’ emcee Bow Wow (born Shad Moss) has stepped into a fresh batch controversy thanks to accusations of domestic violence wielded by ex-girlfriends Erica Mena and Kiyomi Leslie.

The ladies – who have reportedly developed a friendship recently – took Moss to task on social media for abuse they allegedly suffered at his hands.  Leslie, who originally reported her miscarriage was due to stress, rocked headlines last week when she said it was actually due to the rapper punching her in the stomach.

Mena chimed in on the tweets and dropped bombshells of her own. See the action inside:

Pride month was chock full of Madonna, just the way we are sure her legion of LGBT fans would like it.

Topping the charts with her 14th studio album, ‘Madame X’ (released June 14), the Queen of Pop ended the month with a rocking performance during New York City’s Pride Island 2019 (June 30).

Lending a 20 minute set, the diva may have opened with her classic, dance floor groove ‘Vogue,’ but from there she rendered live performances of her politically charged tunes ‘God Control’ and ‘I Rise’ (both found on ‘Madame X’) and also a rare live performance of her equally political 2003 hit, ‘American Life.’

“Fifty years, people,” she said. “Fifty years of celebrating. Fifty years of revolution. Fifty years of freedom fighting. Fifty years of putting up with discrimination, hatred and indifference. Fifty years of blood, sweat and tears. Fifty years of not bowing down to fear. We have been on this journey together, and I am so proud and honored to share this historical evening with you.”

With a whopping 13 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Lil Nas X‘s ‘Old Town Road’ is unquestionably the year’s biggest hit.  Lauded for its experimental fusion of Country and Trap genres, the song’s also earned applause for being one of few hit, mainstream Rap numbers devoid of explicit references to sex, drugs, or violence.

Yet, after the 20-year-old took to Twitter on World Pride Day (June 30) to end speculation about his sexuality (click here to read more on that), congratulatory comments were rivaled only by ridicule from those who asserted the horse referred to in ‘Road’ was a metaphor for gay sex.
