Before 2023, only three Black female artists could boast taking home an Academy Award for Best Original Song: Irene Cara (1984) and H.E.R. with Tiara Thomas (2021).
At the Academy Awards on Sunday night (March 12), the historic club was set to welcome Pop diva Rihanna and Nigerian superstar Tems as its newest entrants when an upset blocked the path.

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!
Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.
Now, we give you a front-row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ and your favorite panel shows, TGJ editors – Sam, Rashad, Joe, and Ryan – get real in a very candid way.
Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on…

A$AP Rocky was on hand at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, where his eagerly anticipated documentary ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ received its premiere.
The film chronicles his 2019 arrest and subsequent incarceration in the Swedish capital, as well as the aftermath.
A number of high-profile guests feature in the doc, including the rapper’s girlfriend Rihanna.
Though notoriously private about her romances in recent years, the singer’s union with Rocky was confirmed when the MC declared his love for her in GQ magazine last month. Indeed, he deemed her “the love of my life.”
Naturally then, RiRi’s appearance in the special was a hot topic when ET caught up with him at Tribeca.
His words below…
A$AP Rocky has confirmed the rumors: he is indeed in a relationship with Rihanna.
Full story below…
Has ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker Rihanna found love in fellow fashion leader/Hip Hop bad boy A$AP Rocky?
Although they have kept mum about the official status of their relationship, a recent interview sees them display a chemistry that will certainly send the rumor mill into overdrive.
Teaming to promote Rih’s beauty brand, Fenty Skin, the ‘Cockiness’ duo quizzed each other for ‘GQ’ and ‘Vogue’s ‘Face to Face’ series.
Look inside to see them tackle topics related to self-care, wellness, and more.
Demi Lovato is gearing up for a big reveal tonight. For, she’ll be unleashing new single ‘I Love Me’ and its accompanying video in a mere matter of hours.
Produced by Oak Felder (who also helmed ‘Sorry Not Sorry’), the anthemic track serves as the lead release from Lovato’s upcoming album and arrives after the songbird signalled her return with a powerful performance of ‘Anyone’ at the 2020 GRAMMYs.
Perhaps most notable is that the song is the first traditional single to be launched by Lovato since her 2018 overdose and since sharing that she had battled an eating disorder.
During her 10th appearance on Ellen today she opened up about the latter and seemed to intimate that her previous team fuelled some of her body worries.
On a lighter note, she spilled on wanting to make-out with Rihanna.
All awaits after the jump…
Janet Jackson made a surprise appearance at The Fashion Awards 2019 tonight at London’s Royal Albert Hall. And for commendable reason.
For, the Queen of Pop was on-hand to present Rihanna with the Urban Luxe honor, in commemoration of her strides with her various fashion ventures.
After presenting RiRi with the award, Jackson was spotted mingling with the Bajan beauty backstage, as well Anna Wintour, Edward Enniful, Winnie Harlow, and more.
We’re loving seeing these regal royals in unity!

Rihanna isn’t just a businesswoman. She’s a business, woman.
The diva’s star is shining brighter than ever thanks to the aggressive expansion of her empire via her successful spells in cosmetics, lingerie, and now luxury fashion by way of new LVMH line Fenty.
To launch the latter in the US, RiRi erected a pop-up cocktail store at Webster in New York City last night.
And, if fashion is what the style icon came to sell, she most certainly looked the part.
Stunning in a hot pink ensemble, the Bajan belle mingled with guests – including Lauryn Hill‘s daughter Selah Marley.
