Diddy has long established a global footprint as one of music’s most revered maestros.

It’s a legacy that was celebrated in earnest at the superstar’s ‘One Night Only’ show in London with the UK Rap icon, Giggs.

The live extravaganza was housed at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire last night (November 7) and uniquely blended the power pair’s potent hit list.

Ever the showman, Diddy did not disappoint. Armed with his trademark charisma, the Bad Boy founder blazed the stage with hits such as ‘Mo Money, More Problems,’ ‘Last Night,’ and ‘I Don’t Wanna Know.’ A well-received spotlight was shone on material from his recently released project, ‘The Love Album: Off The Grid’ too.

The multihyphenate also sprung surprise guests on the sold-out crowd such as his son King Combs, Lojay, and Shyne – the latter of whom blew the roof off the building with a rousing rendition of ‘Bonnie-n-Shyne.’

Elsewhere, Giggs commanded with seasoned ease – electrifying with the likes of ‘Whippin Excursion’ and ‘Talking The Hardest.’

Together the duo also delivered the debut live showing of their collaboration ‘Mandem.’

Proceeds from ticket sales for ‘One Night Only’ were donated to two important charities benefitting the Black British community: Sickle Cell Society and Black Minds Matter.

Timbaland is in a remorseful mood.

The producer is renowned for trending at the top of the charts with his lengthy list of hits. However, he found himself trending on social media yesterday after igniting a firestorm with remarks about Britney Spears.

Timbo’s longtime personal and professional relationship with Spears’ ex, Justin Timberlake, saw the music maestro quizzed about the revelations her book ‘The Woman in Me’ poured out about their relationship.

Without hesitation, the 51-year-old told the interviewer and shocked onlookers that Timberlake ought to have a “muzzle” on Spears.

Muzzles, as widely known, are often reserved for wild, uncontrollable animals.

Suffice it to say, Spears’ fans hit back thunderously and appear to have caused a change in sentiment.

Via starring roles or as the mastermind behind the scenes, Tyler Perry has been one of the most consistent commercial performers on the big and small screens over the last 20 years thanks to everything from the ‘Madea‘ film franchise to TV ratings champs like ‘The Haves & Have Nots,’ ‘Sistas,’ ‘House of Payne,’ and more.

And while his comedies, dramas, and everything in between have left some audiences clamoring for more, that level of exposure hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism – a topic the media mogul tackles in earnest in the forthcoming Prime Video documentary ‘Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story.’

Often the brunt of scrutiny for work some argue doesn’t always portray African Americans in the best light, Tyler refutes the notion in the gripping tell-all film and reiterated his stance during a recent interview with ‘CBS Mornings.’
