Tamar Braxton has shared fresh thoughts on her feud with Toya Wright in an interview she hopes will build a bridge between them.

Standing as the latest feud with the skilled vocalist has been involved in since her re-emergence as a solo act, her spat with Wright reached new lows when they exchanged insults via social media.

How Braxton feels about it all now?

Watch below…

The ladies once shared a nemesis in K. Michelle who blasted Wright for accusing her of fabricating claims against Wright’s then-lover (and Michelle’s ex) Memphitz.

 

Who do you think is to blame for the drama?

The long-awaited Tupac biopic ‘All Eyez On Me’ finally landed in theaters today after battling years of hurdles – including the departure of not one but two directors.

However, the drama shows no signs of letting up.

Following questionable reviews and box office forecasts , actress Jada Pinkett Smith has hit out at the Benny Boom / LT Hutton production. She’s taken specific issue with the portrayal of her relationship with ‘Pac – someone she was close friends with.

Writing on Twitter moments ago, Smith said:

Forgive me… my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

Pac never read me that poem. I didn’t know that poem existed until it was printed in his book.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

Pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for LA. He had to leave abruptly and it wasn’t to pursue his career.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

I’ve never been to any of Pac’s shows by his request. We never had an argument backstage.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

To @KatGraham and @Dshippjr this is no fault of yours. Thank you for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

Happy birthday Pac, you are cradled in my heart for eternity.
I love you.

— Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) June 16, 2017

Yikes!

Opinion seems pretty divided; some are professing their love, while others are dragging for filth.

Have you seen the movie? If so what did you think? Haven’t watched? Will you? Let us know…

Your thoughts?

Dej Loaf is back and she’s brought a new single with her!

Its name? ‘No Fear‘, produced by Christoph Andersson and released to appease fans still eager to see the rapper top the charts following the release of her breakout bop ‘Try Me‘.

How it fares?

How does it compare?

Listen below…

I know my life can get so crazy but as long as you’re right here
None of the gossip, nothing can stop us
I’m wanna love you with no fears
We can do this thing together
Close your eyes and take my hand
Cause what we have is something special
Baby let’s just take our chance
Baby let’s just take our chance

Katy Perry‘s Big Brother style ‘Witness‘ live stream was a roaring success.

For, though its campaigns singles failed to fly, the stream itself was viewed by 49 million people during its four-day run.

Fuelled by her tell-all therapy session, a conversation on race with Caitlyn Jenner and an analysis of her videography, the stream was launched to serve as an alternative (and perhaps safer) means of promotion following controversy she faced over her alleged use of the N-word.

Jay Z has friends in high-places. A fact highlighted in earnest last night when he became the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.

The mogul was given the most endorsing of introductions by former US President Barack Obama. 

Ever charismatic, he mused on his love for Jigga’s music, their similarities (including having wives more popular than them), and Jay’s immeasurable impact on the music and cultural landscape.

As reported, Jay was not present at the taping yesterday – although many of his team were in the building. This has fuelled growing speculation that wife Beyonce has indeed welcomed their twins – or is about to.

In any case, congratulations!

Trina teams with K. Michelle on sassy new collaboration ‘If It Ain’t Me.’

During a recent press run, the rapstress billed the track as a sister to much loved Kelly Rowland duet ‘Here We Go.’

And sonically it’s clear why.

The piano driven production sees the Queen of Miami trade verses with K on a cut that manages to be both warming and hard-hitting.

Take a listen to the song, which is lifted from the femcee’s long-awaited sixth album, below…

Easily the most radio ready of Trina’s recent efforts. This has Urban chart potential.

Rita Ora appears to have a hit on her hands with new single ‘Your Song.’

The Ed Sheeran production has proven a radio, streaming, and digital sales winner ahead of the arrival of its accompanying video.

It’s on-demand appeal looks set to boom too with the debut of a new acoustic version of the song.

Unwrapped moments ago, the stripped-down incarnation puts the 26-year-old’s vocals at the forefront.

Listen below…

Awesome.

It’s here!

DJ Khaled has hatched the video for ‘Wild Thoughts’ – his hotly anticipated collaboration with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller.

The flavorsome offering is the latest taste of the hitmaker’s 10th studio album ‘Grateful’ – due via Epic Records / Roc Nation on June 23rd.

Khaled co-produced the cut, which samples Santana‘s smash ‘Maria,’ with PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Really though, what are you waiting for? Watch the video for ‘Wild Thoughts,’ directed by Colin Tilley, below…

We like.

With the the names involved, the natural expectation is for a club banger. But this bop bangs in its own way.

The production is lush and the sample was used to exquisite effect. Cute visual too.

It’s not as “instant” as fans of all involved likely anticipated and does sound distinctly “third / fourth single” (which it actually is). But, nonetheless, it’s still radio friendly and could make some noise on the charts.

Jay Z made history tonight when he became the first rapper ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.

Interestingly, the media mogul was not in attendance at the taping of the event (fuelling rumors about the birth of he and Beyonce‘s twins), however he did take to social media to salute all who’ve inspired him.

Renown for shunning social media, Jigga definitely made his rare appearance resonate.

See who he tipped his hat to below…

Barring a few charity and soundtrack efforts, fans of Queen of Country Pop Shania Twain haven’t heard official new music from the diva in over a decade.

Well, that wait came to a much-appreciated end this morning when the Grammy winner dropped ‘Life is About To Get Good’ – the first single from her forthcoming effort, ‘Now.’

Already thrilling fans with news the project – in stores September 29 – will see her partner with the Winter Olympics to give it a huge push, now they can finally hear what the diva’s been cooking up for the last 15 years in ‘Good.’

From ‘Beez in the Trap’ to ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap,’ rappers 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj are showing off their chemistry again with their newest collaboration, ‘Realize.’

One of many big names to join Chainz on his new album (available now via Def Jam), ‘Realize’s reputation precedes it – to say the least – as it houses yet another collection of disses to Minaj’s newest nemesis, Remy Ma.

With stinging lyrics that hear the Harajuku Barbie allege Ma’s husband, rapper Papoose, wrote the bars on the now infamous ‘Shether,’ tuck in to hear this and everything else Minaj had to say in ‘Realize’:

DJ/producer Calvin Harris has assembled an all-star team of bonafide hitmakers to ensure his newest single, ‘Feels,’ has no trouble feeling its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Featuring Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, and Big Sean, the new single – the latest cut from Harris’s forthcoming fifth studio album, ‘Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1’ (June 30) – is a guitar driven, disco-tinged affair that sees its trio of talents show off their stuff in ways we’ve never heard from any of their respective solo efforts.
