Both Rita Ora and Cardi B have enjoyed ample success in 2017 and now they’re teaming up to continue their winning streak in the New Year.

That Grape Juice has the EXCLUSIVE scoop on their confirmed collaboration.

This week’s From The Vault was unanimously agreed to be a necessity.

Mariah Carey’s roof raising rendition of ‘Joy To The World’ is our festive selection.

A popular Christmas carol, ‘Joy’ was included in Mariah’s seasonal album ‘Merry Christmas.’ Her take on the track was self-arranged alongside former partner in rhyme Walter Afanasieff and stands as one of the LP’s standout jams.

Mimi’s unparalleled ability to raise the roof makes it a true tour de force, and with her Christmas shine intensifying through time, it should continue to spread the festive spirit in every home for more decades to come.

We joyfully salute Mariah, especially during this season. Her latest releases may have left the masses unmoved, but we’re glad that at least once a year (at the very least), people are reminded of her other-worldly talent.

Salute to the Queen of Christmas and wishing all of you an amazing holiday.

Your thoughts?

Chris Brown is on his Santa game proper.

For, fresh from releasing a whopping 57 songs as part of his ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon’ project, he’s gifted fans yet another song.

Christened ‘Him Or Me,’ the cut finds Chris lamenting over a love gone wrong after his lady strayed into the arms of another.

When announcing the track, he said:

People don’t really know how much this is a passion and purpose for me to create and express emotion. I put out music because you accept whatever gift I may have… BUT THE GIFT IS ONLY CREATED BY YOU!

Issa Rae is on a roll!

The actress/all-round creative has enjoyed a wealth of success with HBO smash ‘Insecure;’  so much so that the network haven’t just re-upped — they’ve three-up’ed.

Indeed, as reported this week, Rae is developing three new shows for the channel – including a dating comedy centered around a bisexual Black male.

The California native stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss her various ventures.

She also opened up about her Golden Globes nomination, a hilarious interaction with Michelle Obama, and a whole lot more.

LaTavia Roberson has been through quite the roller-coaster – both professionally and personally.

The Destiny’s Child alum has been rebuilding after being ousted from the group by their then manager Mathew Knowles.

It hasn’t been plain sailing though and the 36-year-old has experienced a series of hurdles along the way. One of which was a devastating miscarriage at 6 months pregnant.

Ever a resilient, Roberson is pressing on and stopped by Sister Circle to talk about her journey.

In a candid chat with hosts Syleena Johnson and Quad Webb-Lunceford, she discussed her hardships (including a more recent miscarriage this year), missing the sisterhood she shared with DC, her current thoughts on Mathew, and much more.

Azealia Banks is in a remorseful mood.

The unpredictable rapper has slammed many an artist with reckless abandon – ultimately leading to the burning of countless bridges.

While at one time it appeared a collaboration between the two was nigh (anyone remember ‘Ratchet’?), recent times have seen Banks brandish Bey a “thief” following the release of ‘Lemonade.’

What does she have to say now? Find out below…
