For Kanye West, it’s one down and much more to come.

The rapper’s G.O.O.D Music imprint issued his long-awaited album ‘Ye’ last week and, while critical response is mixed, its sales seem healthy.

Next up is West’s joint album with Kid Cudi‘Kids See Ghosts.’

Due in stores this Friday (June 8th), the set’s official cover has been unwrapped.

Rihanna is ready for a movie moment.

This week brings with it the Stateside release of ‘Ocean’s 8,’ which RiRi stars in alongside Kate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, and Awkwafina.

To celebrate its arrival, the cast assembled in New York for an elaborate premiere event.

All eyes were on the Bajan belle, who has been interestingly quite low-profile in recent months (sans the promotion for her many entrepreneurial ventures such as Fenty Beauty).

Word on the curb is that the star is hard at work on two new albums, which may explain her relative downtime.

Still, with Ocean’s set to swim into theaters on June 8th, some are wondering whether it also dubs as the official start of Rih season?

As we await the answer, peep more from last night’s premiere below…

Most notably thanks to comments she made about Kanye West.

As widely reported, the rapper has been a staple in the headlines after a series of worrying comments.

Well, Issa clapped back in the most “Issa” way possible. And with Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian in the audience.

Detractors who thought a little controversy would stand in the way of Kanye West and the top of the Billboard 200 were sadly mistaken.

In fact, West’s latest opus – ‘Ye’ (in stores now) – was already on track to best the competition and land the Grammy-winner his 8th consecutive chart-topper overall (7th as a solo artist) as industry analysts suggested the set would shift nearly 190k SPS by the end of its first full tracking week (click here to read more about that).

Now, thanks to an impressive streaming surge, the album is on track to cross the 200k threshold by the week’s end.  Curious to see just how high ‘Ye’ is set to soar?  Look inside: (more…)

Rita Ora is brushing off the backlash and pressing on with promotion for new single ‘Girls.’

The track, which features Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX, received critique from some corners of the LGBTQ community due to its lyrical lean.

Speaking about the clip during a recent radio interview, the 27-year-old revealed that the clip was filmed in multiple cities and features she and her guests celebrating women from different eras.
