Your thoughts?

As rap beefs go, few were as spicy as Drake and Meek Mill’s 2015 duel over ghostwriting accusations.

Indeed, who could forget the oh so personal jabs of Drizzy’s ‘Back To Back’ and ‘Charged Up’? Or the lukewarm response that greeted Meek’s eventual response ‘Wanna Know’?

Well, it seems the stars themselves are putting the drama in the past.

Because on the Boston stop of the ‘Aubrey and the Three Migos Tour’ at TD Garden, Drake brought out his former foe for a surprise showing of ‘Dreams & Nightmares.’

More from the moving moment, which the duo say they hope will serve as an example, below…  (more…)

The Harper’s Bazaar ‘New York Fashion Week‘ party saw the Hip-Hop superstar Cardi B clash with her peer Nicki Minaj this weekend.

Separated by security, the ladies now find themselves dominating headlines fuelled by footage captured on the night.

Quite interestingly, the first batch of videos that hit the net failed to capture the entire story.

Because? A new video unlocked today seems to dispel claims that the injury Cardi sustained wasn’t handed to her by one of Minaj’s guards…but by Minaj herself.

Kanye West and Jay Z dropped one of the most critically acclaimed LPs of the decade with their collaborative chart-topping effort, ‘Watch the Throne’ (2011).

Featuring the hits ‘No Church in the Wild’ and ‘N*ggas in Paris,’ the platinum-selling set garnered Grammy nods galore and remains a fan favorite among the duo’s prized discographies.

A tough act to follow, ‘Watch’ – given its success and the reported friction between West and Jay over recent years – was expected to be a one-time deal.  But, if a recent statement from the controversial emcee is anything to go by, fans may be granted a follow-up to the project sooner than expected…

Having already made a splash on music charts with early 2000’s hits ‘Just A Friend,’ ‘Crying Out For Me,’ and ‘Let Me Love You,’ it looks like Grammy-nominated R&B singer Mario is looking to make just as big of a splash on the small screen as the newest recurring cast member of FOX’s ‘Empire.’

Normani nabbed her first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with her first solo offering ‘Love Lies’ alongside Khalid.

The Fifth Harmony star isn’t resting on her laurels, though. For, she’s just unleashed a new acoustic performance of the hit ‘Love, Simon’ track.

Arriving at an opportune time, its release gifts the song added streaming points which could very well see it climb even higher in coming weeks.

Check out the live offering, presented in partnership with Honda, below…

MNEK is ready for his close-up.

Since his early teens, the singer-songwriter has established himself as the go-to guy for infectious, provocative Pop that pushes the envelope. Indeed, despite being just 23-years old, his resumé includes the likes of Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, and Kylie Minogue.

Now, though, is all about the British-Nigerian’s own music. For, his long-awaited album debut ‘Language’ has finally arrived.

An eclectic collection of blazing bops, the set features solo singles ‘Tongue’ and ‘Correct,’ as well Hailee Steinfeld collaboration ‘Colour.’

The aftermath of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj‘s Fashion Week fallout is flowing in thick and fast. 

For, just moments after news and clips of the altercation surfaced, Cardi has issued a statement. And it makes for a rivetting read, especially as she clearly echoes earlier suggestion that her daughter Kulture‘s name was mentioned as a prerequisite to the drama.

Head below for Cardi’s account below…
