It’s been a week of woes for Usher.
Prior to now, the singer had been relatively scandal free. A feat in itself given the length of his 20 year career.
However, that all changed when reports hit the wire that he paid $1.1 million to a woman in 2012 after allegedly infecting her with herpes.
Now, another woman has come forward with similar claims about the married star.
Full story below…
Not even a premature leak could stop diehard Lana Del Rey fans from lusting after her fifth studio album, ‘Lust for Life.’
Boasting an impressive guest list, featuring the likes of A$AP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, The Weeknd, and more, the set – officially released today – is already earning a number of thumbs up from critics across the board. If a peek at iTunes’ pop charts is anything to judge by, fans are in agreement with the acclaim.
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 week we’ll unlock ‘Unfaithful,’ the second single from Rihanna‘s second album, ‘A Girl Like Me’ (click here to read our ode to the project). Produced by Stargate, the Ne-Yo-penned tune made its way onto charts the same week her song ‘SOS,’ the first of her 14 chart-toppers, hit #1 on the Hot 100. At the rate ‘Unfaithful’ accelerated to the top 10, it almost seemed Rih was due for a repeat at the top (but this week in 2006 saw those dreams dashed when the song peaked and stalled at #6).
Her third of 31 top 10 singles, ‘Unfaithful’ eventually went on to triple platinum status and remains a fan favorite among her ballads. Tuck in below to relive the tune and see who joined Rih in the top 25 this week 11 years ago:
Roc Nation‘s rising star Justine Skye builds on the buzz generated by her ‘8 Ounces’ EP with the release of new single ‘Back For More.’
Jeremih joins the singer on the flavoursome track, which is lifted from her debut album.
Speaking on the song’s theme, the Brooklyn bred belle explained:
“Hitmaka and AyoNKeyz sent the song over and it spoke volumes to what was really going on with me.
I’m pretty sure we’ve all had a situation where a certain ex or person finds their way back in your life. I’ve realized that it’s not about dwelling over it and overthinking.”

JAY-Z is keeping the ‘4:44’ content a’coming.
Continuing his weekly video roll-out, Jigga uncaged the visual for ‘Kill Jay Z’ moments ago.
The raw cut sees the Hip-Hop icon wax honest about his flaws with a flow that is being hailed as one of his most acclaimed.

Joseline Hernandez has had enough.
The reality star saw her feud with ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ creator Mona Scott Young spill onto social media and eventually back onto the show’s finale.
As seen on the climax of the VH1 series, Hernandez “quit” and a history of her “problematic” behaviour was broadcast.
Irked by this, the 29-year-old stopped by The Breakfast Club today to tell her side of the story.
Renown for her fiery persona, the star showed an altogether more demure side when she broke down in tears over her depiction.
Remarkably though, she appeared open to the idea of joining the much rumored (and clearly “happening”) ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Miami.’ Especially now that she has lives there again.
Watch Joseline talk about a whole lot after the jump…
As they eye glory with their respective new albums, Ne-Yo and Miguel have learned that their wives have joined forces with Nelly‘s other half to build a reality tv show.
Its name?
‘Married to Hip Hop.’
The series, which will impact the world via E!, will follow the lives of several women with romantic ties to Urban music as they juggle life, love, conflicts and budding businesses.
Reports also indicate that Tank’s lover has also signed up to star in the series alongside Asiah Collins, the mother of Kid Ink‘s offspring and Blac Chyna‘s former friend and current foe Heather Sanders.
SZA is seizing her moment.
Riding high following the release of her critically acclaimed debut ‘CTRL,’ the TDE wonder hit the stage on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Joined by rapper Travis Scott, the 26-year-old delivered a spirited rendition of ‘Love Galore’ – which we’ve had on replay here at TGJ for months. Literally.
Watch SZA both sizzle and soar after the jump…
After enduring horrendous levels of violence, Nicole Brown freed herself from her husband O.J Simpson by filing for divorce in the February of 1992.
Two years later, she and her good friend Ron Goldman were stabbed to death at her home in Brentwood, California.
After a lengthy trial, Simpson was acquitted of their deaths but was found liable for them in civil court and this, much to his horror, meant he was obligated to pay the families of the deceased a sum of $33.5 million.
The problem?
He’s still yet to cover this debt and is now under pressure to cough up the cash now that he has been granted parole and is expected to be released from prison after serving time for an unrelated crime.
David Cook, a lawyer representing Goldman’s heartbroken family, revealed:
I have a difficult job. My job is to collect on his civil judgment and not let the flame of Ron Goldman’s memory go out. He has one of the world’s three most recognizable names right now — his, the guy sitting in the White House and Vladimir Putin.When you have a name brand like this, you’re going to monetize it.
Cook hopes Simpson’s quest to capitalise on his latest case will force him to deliver the money he owes to the relatives of his alleged victims.
He had this to say before yesterdays’ announcement:
The good news for Mr. Simpson is he’s [probably] going to get out of jail. The bad news is I’m in pretty good health.
Bad news for Chinese Justin Bieber fans.
The Beijing’s Culture Bureau have officially issued a ban to the singer, preventing him from both visiting and performing on Chinese shores.

It’s been a while since Nicki Minaj treated fans to a music video befitting of her Queen of Rap title.
Fortunately, it now appears that the Hip-Hop titan is taking her visual game to the next level by creating what is set to be one of the year’s hottest moments with help from her pal Blac Chyna.
Fans of the rapper will remember Chyna played Minaj’s double in 2010’s visual for Kanye West’s ‘Monster’ and now, seven years later, the ladies have reunited for Yo Gotti’s ‘Rake it Up.’
How?
Watch below…
Raven returns!
The much hyped revival of ‘That’s So Raven’ airs later today on the Disney Channel, however the network have embraced today’s digital age by debuting the first episode online – in full.
Christened ‘Raven’s Home,’ the show is set several years after the original series and reunites two “besties” who are now navigating through life as mothers and divorcees.
Raven-Symone reprises her lead role as Raven Baxer, while Anneliese van der Pol is back as Chelsea Daniels. The duo are joined by Issac Ryan Brown as Booker, Jason Maybaum as Levi, Sky Katz as Tess, and Navia Ziraili Robinson as Nia.
Symone also serves as executive producer (ca-ching!).
So what are you waiting for? Nostalgia awaits below…
