Beyonce may be adjusting to life with twins Rumi and Sir Carter after giving birth last month, but it doesn’t appear like her career activity will be slowing anytime soon.
Indeed, per a new report, the superstar singer is readying a major project centered around her blockbuster ‘Formation World Tour.’

When news of ‘The Real Sidechicks Of Charlotte’ hit social media, many – including Rihanna – wondered whether it was a spoof.
Well, as it turns out, ratchet has reached an all new low. Because the show is very real.
Today, all seven members of the cast stopped by The Breakfast Club to dish on the concept of the series – as did its creator.
In trademark fashion, the hosts held nothing back and roasted the ladies like a Thanksgiving turkey. Charlamagne and guest Lil Duval poked especially hard.
Watch it all unfold below…
Welcome back to TGJ Replay!
Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.
This week, on its 25th birthday (July 28), we’ll ring up Mary J. Blige‘s debut album – ‘What’s the 411?’

Kendrick Lamar just sprung a surprise on fans – the video for ‘LOYALTY’ featuring Rihanna.
The track has emerged as a fan favourite from his double Platinum ‘DAMN’ album and looks set to cement said status with the arrival of its cinematic visual.
Acclaimed director Dave Meyers takes the helm of the clip and delivers in earnest.
By no means a run of the mill collaboration, both K.Dot and RiRi commit to the narrative which casts them as lovers.
Check it out below…
Readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.
So, just as our retrospective features ‘From the Vault’ and ‘TGJ Replay’ allow us the chance to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday of one artist, our newest feature Chart Rewind – a variation of our current Retro Rewind assay – accedes salutes to an entire era of music history.
This time we’ll highlight ‘Sometimes’ – the second single from Britney Spears‘ 1999 debut album, ‘Baby One More Time.’ With big shoes to fill given the mega-success of its chart-topping, platinum predecessor ‘Baby One More Time’ (the song), ‘Sometimes’ came as a mid-tempo groove that, like most of its parent album, borrowed elements of Eurodance and Europop in its composition. Not exactly an out of the box success like ‘Baby,’ ‘Sometimes’ went on to eventually nab top 30 status before being halted at #21 on the Hot 100.
This week 18 years ago the tune maintained its #21 peak. Tuck in below to see if you can spot any familiar faces who joined the Southern belle in the top 25 this week in 1999:
Up until now R. Kelly has only responded to his latest scandal via a rep.
But R&B’s self-declared Pied Piper is finally ready to speak up and out.
As widely reported, the 50-year-old formed the focus of a major exposé by BuzzFeed, whose investigative piece alleged that he’s running a sex cult comprised of young women.
Undeterred, the episode hasn’t halted the singer’s touring efforts. In fact, some reports suggest ticket sales have actually surged.
Still plugging away, Kelly’s clap-back took place during a promotional push for East Coast dates.
His words await below…
Ne-Yo is back.
The R&B crooner has unwrapped the video for ‘Another Love Song’ – the lead single from his seventh studio album ‘Good Man.’
A markedly “Ne-Yo” affair, the quirky visual sees the singer-songwriter dancing up a storm during a brief break from a date.
In an era where male singers are increasingly skewing more rapper with their everything, it’s great to see this performing gentleman stick to his formula.
Peep the video Darren Craig directed vid below…
SZA‘s reign as Contemporary R&B’s new Queen continues this year with the success of her single ‘Love Galore.’
Sales of her debut set ‘CTRL’ have been extremely modest but this stands as a far cry from its single ‘Galore’ which is making monumental moves for the entertainer on a financial front.
How so?
‘Galore’ earned a handsome $39,334 in the last week thanks to $34,476 generated from streams and $4,858 picked up from pure sales in the United States alone.
An impeccable feat, the cut’s digital run will spell good news for her label Top Dawg Entertainment who saw its parent album impact the Billboard 200 with sales of 25,000 units and undoubtedly have their sights set on its follow-up.

As September nears, so too does the start of the infamous Q4.
That tried and true window where campaigns are kicked off with a view to capitalise on the generous buying climate of the Holidays. Promotional platforms are plentiful and the potential for revenue maximisation is a very real reality for record labels.
It’s also a time during which fans begin to raise hopeful eyebrows at their faves who’ve promised new projects but have yet to deliver.
Historically, it’s proven that many of these LPs don’t arrive on time – or even at all.
However, we can only wait with bated breath. While we do, grab some tea and biscuits and join us below as we countdown 5 albums we want to see before the year’s end!
The star-maker that is Tyra Banks was all smiles when she joined Seth Meyers for a fun-filled conversation on his late-night show hours ago.
Why she was there? To give fans an update on her life as she soars on ‘America’s Got Talent‘ as a host, readies the next season of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and raises a child with her partner and creative collaborator Erik Asla.
Watch below…
Want more on her return to ‘Top Model‘?
As a solo act and as a member of the chart-topping musical group Danity Kane, Dawn Richard has already proven herself quite the talent on the dancing, singing, and songwriting fronts. Now, the much-lauded songstress is looking to see some of that critical acclaim aimed at her theatrical endeavors.
After years of smaller roles a-front a few television and movie ventures, Richard’s been cast as the lead in Jean Claude LaMarre‘s erotic-romance thriller, ‘Kinky.’ The film, reminiscent of ’50 Shades of Grey,’ will see her share top billing with Robert Ri’Chard and also features a supporting cast of acting vets Vivica A. Fox, Darrin Henson, and more.
Reunited and it feels so good!
As we reported here, just four months ago Miami’s dynamic rap duo – Trina and Trick Daddy – not only announced plans to reunite, but to birth an entire duet album.
Now, just weeks after the Diamond Princess announced the title and release date of her long-awaited new solo venture, the twosome have unveiled ‘Smooth Sailing.’ Believed to be the first official cut from their forthcoming joint project, tuck in below to hear the latest from Slip-N-Slide:
