If you thought Mike Will Made It‘s star faded just as quickly as it’d risen, think again.

The hitmaking producer – who has wielded hits for the likes of Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, and many more – taps his ‘Pour It Up’ co-star Rihanna for the lead single for ‘Ransom 2’ (the follow-up to his 2014 release ‘Ransom‘).

Titled ‘Nothing is Promised,’ the tune bumps over an EarDrummers beat while Rih coos about a number of usual topics (n*ggaz, money, shopping, drinking).  Coming as her latest collabo with a super-producer in just a month (see:  Calvin Harris ‘This Is What You Came For’), it appears the Bajan beauty is on quite the roll while her own solo project ‘Anti,’ still maintains buoyancy in the top 5 of the album charts.

That  Rihanna reign just won’t let up and now you can get into ‘Promised’ below to get a reminder why:

Ciara and Russell Wilson joined forces to celebrate WE Day in Seattle yesterday.

For many, the number 7 signifies perfection; and for R&B siren Ciara it’s the route she’s she’s taking for her next studio album.

All eyes are on the stage blazer’s upcoming project for a number of reasons.

One of the main being that it’ll serve as her first offering after departing Epic Records earlier this year.

There’s no word yet on which label the project will arrive on, but CiCi is beginning to spill on the set. Albeit slowly.

See what we mean…

We’re getting closer and closer to getting our hands on new music from Maxwell.

After sending fans into a frenzy a few weeks ago with the announcement his new album (the second of the ‘blackSUMMERs’night’ trilogy) was due this year, some of those fans may have gone into cardiac arrest after learning the dapper divo will be a headliner at the 2016 Essence Music Festival.

With all signs pointing to proof the R&B crooner’s return was imminent, he took to Instagram over the weekend to silence the rumors by not only giving fans a taste of what to expect from the project’s first single, but also to share news they’ll be hearing it in full…very soon.

Ciara has spent much of the last week in Nigeria, after being in town for a private function.

Before departing, the R&B star took to the streets of Lagos, where she danced it up to some of the region’s top AfroBeats tunes.

Speaking on the experience, Super Ci shared with her 10 million Instagram followers…

#Dancing, Vibing, and Learning #Nigerian Dance In The Streets Of #Lagos! #DolphinEstates. I Couldn’t Leave Without Doing This! The Soul, The Culture, The Passion Here Is Unreal!! Thank You For Opening Up Your Neighborhood To Me and My Dancers and Letting Us Feel Your soul! #Shoki

The R&B chanteuse was set to hit the road on the second leg of her ‘Jackie Tour’ this Spring. However, in a candid message to fans, the ‘I Bet’ belter announced that the trek has been postponed indefinitely.

Why?

Because she’s working on her seventh studio album!

Peep the message below…

Ciara knows how to glide across a stage, but the R&B chanteuse also knows how to command her voice.

The ‘I Bet’ belter highlighted this last night at the NCAA College Football Championship Match where she once again took on the US National Anthem.

Over the years, ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ has been stretched, rolled, curled, and remixed by the likes of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, who in the process have created a new standard of what a rendition of the song “should” sound like.

With that, how did Super Ci fare? Find out below…

Well that didn’t take long.

Ciara is currently the top trending topic on social media following Future‘s scathing Twitte attack on her.

The ‘Dirty Sprite’ rapper alleges the Grammy winning songstress is preventing him from seeing their 20-month old son Future Zahir.

Naturally, the episode is causing debate aplenty, which makes the latest update oh so timely.

Ciara is remaining mum herself, but a “highly placed source” has elaborated on the matter.

See what we mean below…

Ciara sprung a two-tier surprise on fans tonight.

The R&B chanteuse unveiled a duo of new songs; the first being the Dr. Luke produced ‘Oh Baby’ and the second a track titled ‘Special Edition.’

Writing to fans, the 30-year-old gushed:

Hey CSquad Here’s My Gift To You! #SpecialEdition and #OhBaby Happy Holidays! Love CC

It’s presently unknown whether the tracks are attached to the star’s ‘Jackie’ project or whether they’re literally as billed (see: gifts to supporters).

 What is definitive, though, is that both tracks await for your listening pleasure below…
