By way of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God has become a cornerstone of Black pop culture.

And while he’s more than made a name for himself, he’s consistently given props to Wendy Williams for giving him his start back in her radio days.

However, as of 2010, the pair have been estranged – a reality Charlamagne has long blamed on Williams’ soon-to-be ex-husband Kevin Hunter. A man he insists has a sinister vendetta against him.

Now, after almost a decade, Hunter’s excommunication has reunited the former radio team.

It’s hard to believe this week marks 5 years since August Alsina exploded onto the R&B music scene with his debut album, 2014’s ‘Testimony.’ Since that point, the now-26-year-old may have seen the heights of fame and, conversely, experienced dizzying personal lows, but his resilience (he says) is best evidenced in his push to release new music.

The latest comes in the form of the music video for ‘Footsteps.’  A heartfelt number, the funeral-inspired visual is believed by fans to be a nod to the loss of his sister (who passed away from cancer) and his current responsibility as her children’s legal guardian.

Controversy – even inadvertent brands of it – still sells records.  Ask Lil Nas X: the 20-year-old singer/rapper who recently burst onto the scene thanks to a controversial call from Billboard that initially excluded his Country-tinged Hip Hop song – ‘Old Town Road’ – from riding onto Country charts.

Once the decision was reversed (thanks to harsh criticism from a number of supporters who slammed Billboard for making such a rule in the first place), last week saw the Billy Ray Cyrus-assisted tune shoot to the top of the Hot 100 (as we reported here).  Retaining the spot for a second run this week, the retention came on the heels of some jaw dropping streaming figures.

Billboard reports:

“Road” rockets by 207%, from 46.6 million U.S. streams to 143 million, shattering the record for the most in a week. “Road” also roars by 454% to 124,000 downloads sold…That’s the biggest weekly total since Drake’s “God’s Plan” debuted with 127,000 sold (Feb. 3, 2018).
