Ariana Grande continues her all-out push for new album ‘My Everything’.

The aggressive campaign for the budding diva’s sophomore LP counts the cover of Marie Claire‘s October issue as its latest stop.

It goes without saying that the 21-year-old has been everywhere of late. And while such media saturation runs risk of jarring the masses, we’re all for Ms. Grande’s unashamed bid to bolt to the top. Her talent is entirely deserving.

“Mustard on the beat!”

Unless one has been living under a rock for the past year, the chances of having jammed to a song with that tag are sky high.

Indeed, beyond being infectious club hits, tracks such as ‘2 On’ by Tinashe, T-Pain’s ‘Up Down’ and ‘No Mediocre’ courtesy of T.I. and Iggy Azalea all have a common denominator: DJ Mustard.

Recently, That Grape Juice caught up with the super-producer whose first album ’10 Summers’ was released exclusively through Google Play and is now also available in-stores.

Join us after the jump where we quiz the hitmaker on his album and the reasoning behind its roll-out as well as his rise to the top of the charts, he also spills the beans on his work Jay-Z and Rita Ora and of course he updates us on his work with superstar Rihanna.

Funnyman Nick Cannon was certainly not in a laughing mood earlier today as he went on a Twitter rant slamming critics of the status of his marriage to pop icon Mariah Carey.

With rampant reports that the duo are well on their way to divorce court, Cannon took to social media to clear up rumors that the “battle” between them has turned nasty.  While his rant never conclusively confirmed or denied the rumors, he certainly set the record straight.

Read his fiery statements below:

In today’s 360 era, artists are tasked with being larger than life and more than music. This a memo Pop force Lady GaGa has chewed and digested.

Indeed, beyond her songs, Mother Monster has built quite the brand portfolio – making a name for herself in the touring, technological, and beauty arenas. The latter is set to get a boost later this year when the star’s newest fragrance arrives.

Announced moments ago (packaged with the Steven Klein shot promo pic above), the scent has been christened ‘Eau De GaGa’ and marks the singer’s first foray into the unisex market.

Speaking on the perfume’s concept, the 28-year-old said:

“It’s inspired by the adventurous woman and the man who loves her.

I wanted it to be a timeless, elegant, luxurious bottle, something that would last forever. This is just EAU DE GAGA no.1

The base consists of sparkling water, lime, leather. 3 things I use everyday. A very clean expensive scent”

GaGa’s first fragrance effort, ‘The Fame’, has sold over 30 million bottles worldwide.
