Collaborations have proven themselves a winning formula for rising rapstress Doja Cat.

After watching her three biggest hits – ‘Juicy,’ ‘Like That,’ and ‘Say So’ – lifted to chart prominence thanks to help from Tyga, Gucci Mane, and Nicki Minaj respectively, Cat’s looking to pounce on even more duets in the future (as revealed in a recent interview with Fat Joe).

Barely a week after stunning fans with her role as assistant on the remix to Chloe x Halle‘s hit ‘Do It’ as well as Ozuna‘s ‘Del Mar’ (click here to listen), Doja – who’s already completed her third album – revealed who made her 2020 collaborator wishlist.

Boasting names like Minaj, Ariana Grande, SZA, and more, look inside to find out who else made her personal fantasy draft.

6ix9ine‘s not unaware of the running joke about his status as a ‘snitch’ – a predicament he waxed honest about in a recent interview with FOX 5 New York.

Hot on the promo trail for his sophomore album, ‘Tattletales’ (click here to stream), the project’s title serves as his attempt to hit back at enduring ridicule he’s suffered since cooperating with federal agents to uncover the alleged illegal practices of his former Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods associates.

Said cooperation helped encourage his own release from jail (alongside being “high risk” for COVID-19 as we reported here).  The hit rapper followed his prison run by going into a 4-month stint on home incarceration under the GPS supervision of a probation officer.

Throughout the ordeal, 6ix9ine says he suffered a number of mental health challenges including a depression that led him to suicide contemplation.

Look inside to hear him tell his story and how he overcame it all:

‘Reminisce’ singer Mary J. Blige took to ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen‘ recently to stroll down memory lane for the BRAVO talk show’s segment, ‘Reminisce on Your Sis.’

The GRAMMY-winning diva – hot on the promo trail for her new hit STARZ series ‘Power Book II’ – reflected on her experiences with everyone from Beyonce and Whitney Houston to Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, and more.

When quizzed on her longtime friend Lil Kim, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul launched into a royal praise session – referring to the Queen Bee as a ‘trailblazer.’  Randomly, Cohen took his line of questioning a bit further to ask how Blige felt about Diana Ross jiggling the rapper’s boob at the 1999 MTV VMAs.

Look inside to hear just how Mary sounded off:

Months after first quizzing EDM trio Major Lazer on the status of ‘Oh My Gawd’ – their long-teased collaboration with Nicki Minaj – the rap diva’s fans were saying OMG when the hitmakers confirmed the Harajuku Barbie-assisted cut would drop September 10 (as we reported here).

Keeping their word, the dancehall-tinged tune – which reportedly houses elements of classics from Baby Cham and Black Uhuru – arrived on streaming outlets Thursday and also counts Mr. Eazi and Nigerian music star K4mo among its collaborators.

Serving as the official first single from Eazi’s October-due EP ‘Something Else,’ look inside to see the dance video ahead of its official video’s arrival soon.

M.I.A. is back and she is taking ctrl.

The British rapper brings back her rebellious spirit for the track, where she raps:

“Yeah, first female singer on the black list / If you want the truth I wonder why the points missed / World town intelligence, I’m here for justice.“

The song will not appear on her upcoming studio album. She told her fans:

“This is not a song from M.I.A’s upcoming highly anticipated IIIIIIth LP. It was made for the HERE + NOW, TODAY.” 

This is the second taste of new music from 45-year-old this year. Previously, she released the song ‘OHMNI W202091’ in March.
