Vivica A. Fox may have spent the weekend topping headlines for her reignited beef with ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kenya Moore (who Fox’s branded a ‘toxic trick’), but the week kicked off with her in full promo mode in support of her April 3rd-released book, ‘Everyday I’m Hustling.’

Part self-help/part-memoir, the page-turner courted controversy weeks before its arrival on shelves as previews indicated Fox detailed some of her bedroom activity with former beau, rapper 50 Cent. The latest in the two’s ongoing rivalry, the news led 50 to clap back via Instagram (click here to read that).

Undeterred, this week saw Fox not only continue to openly discuss the content in her book related to 50, but also assure fans the beef between them has actually subsided (despite headlines suggesting otherwise).

Fans of 7-time Grammy winner Toni Braxton (affectionately called ‘Toni’s Tigers’) had an 8 year wait between the singer’s last solo outing, 2010’s ‘Pulse,’ and her most recent effort, ‘Sex & Cigarettes.’

‘Cigarettes,’ which hit shelves March 23rd, was preceded by the critically acclaimed Urban AC cuts ‘Deadwood’ and ‘Long As I Live’ and was greeted with generally positive reviews.  Unfortunately, that fanfare was not reflected commercially as – just a day after its release – industry analysts predicted the set would not shift more than 18,000 units SPS its first week of availability.

Moreover, with minimal television, print, or radio support to change the tide, the ‘Breathe Again’ beauty’s 8th LP proved them right.  Tuck inside to see how many units the project sold and where it landed on this week’s Billboard 200:

Azealia Banks‘ venom has spared few and ironically has poisoned her once promising prospects.

Despite this, the talented femcee continues to drag any and everyone – including fellow rapstress Cardi B.

Over the last year, Banks has branded the Bronx star “an illiterate untalented rat“ and a “poor man’s Nicki Minaj” amongst other jabs.

And while Cardi has generally remained mum, she appears to have made her feelings on bleaching endorser Banks clear.

Today brought with it news rap star Fabolous was officially charged with assaulting longtime girlfriend Emily Bustamante.  Reportedly facing up to 10 years and thousands of dollars in fines if convicted on counts of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats (both in the third degree),  the 40-year-old Grammy nominee learned of the charges just a week after turning himself in for the alleged abuse.

Like we reported here, Fab has been subject of widespread ridicule and criticism on social media after the story broke he “knocked Bustamante’s teeth out.”

Now, as the news continues to dominate headlines many fans and fellow artists alike are distancing from the ‘Holla Back’ hitmaker.  Those who have publicly expressed support for him (in one way or the other), on the other hand, have been met with swift judgment from online communities.  Case in point?  Lil Kim & Lil Mo…
