With credibility and commercial value on her side Nicki Minaj remains at the top of Pop and Hip Hop’s chart food chain.

Unimpressed by her winning streak? Fans of the Hip-Hop icon Lil Kim and her former nemesis Remy Ma.

Said fans had hoped the ladies’ collaborative cut ‘Wake Me Up’ would go some way to prove that the gifted ladies were just as chart-worthy as Minaj.

Alas, the song has bombed horribly prompting Nicki’s fans to mock them mercilessly on social media.

Alexandra Burke is amazing on the mic and is proving equally as arresting on the dance-floor.

The Brit-belter, who rose to fame as the winner of The X Factor after performing with Beyonce, is currently competing on the current series of the BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’

Much like the US’ ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ the series sees celebrities battle it out each week in a quest for the coveted ballroom trophy.

Oft commanding an audience of 10 million + each week, the show is renown for being a potent promotional platform and the real “win” tends to be for competitors careers.

With Alex readying new material, it’s smart timing. Especially as she’s slaying!

Alas, those who are “lucky” enough to have survived the horrific journey often find themselves coming face to face with racism dished out via other people of colour.

Today, millions around the world lift their voices to condemn governments who do and say nothing about this injustice via protests taking place in several major cities.

Joining them in their quest to combat the demon that is anti-blackness?

Ms. Campbell.
