Blac Chyna has landed the upper hand in her game of one-upmanship with former boo Rob Kardashian.

As widely reported, the exes became embroiled in a shocking social media exchange last week which saw Rob expose intimate images of the socialite.

Allegedly fearing for her safety, Chyna lawyered up and went to court today to secure a restraining order against Rob as well as an injunction to prevent him releasing what team calls “revenge porn.”

Said requests were granted moments ago and the reality star took to the steps of the courthouse with her attorney to express her gratitude to the judge. Check it out:

The spectacle surrounding all of this defines disgusting. But it’s hardly surprising given the parties involved.

Our thoughts are with their daughter Dream, who is ultimately the only innocent party in the narrative.

JAY-Z is taking his Platinum coated ‘4:44’ album on the road.

Moments ago, the rapper and his team announced the trek’s North American leg, which will be playing to arenas across the US October through December. Named sponsors include TIDAL, Sprint, Puma, and Live Nation  – the latter of whom have a 10-year $200 million touring partnership with the star.

The news comes less than two weeks after the Hip-Hop titan unleashed the LP; a set that is being hailed as his most lyrically rich.

Jay’s dates also arrive after a number of high-profile festival slots this summer – including Made In America and the UK’s V Festival.

K. Michelle’s decision to slide in the center of Joseline Hernandez‘ feud with Mona Scott-Young has spelled hell for her on social media.

Formerly friends on Young’s ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘, Hernandez and Michelle came to digital blows when the latter joined efforts to discredit the former after she accused Young of manipulating disenfranchised women of colour for financial gain.

Hurt by this, Hernandez took to social media to reveal that she was disappointed by K’s move prompting the singer to rock her world by mocking her alleged cocaine addiction.

How social media responded?

Blac Chyna‘s war with the Kardashians is to make its way to ABC today.

There, joined by her lawyer Lisa Bloom, the supposed scammer will bare all on her relationship with Rob Kardashian, her alleged infidelities, how she feels about his decision to expose her nude images and claims that she is a terribly unfit mother.

Her interview will air on ‘Good Morning America‘ as she battles claims that she and the man she is said to have cheated on Rob with are high-priced escorts distributing their cakes and cookies in Hollywood.

Bryson Tiller and SZA have emerged as two of R&B’s most exciting new talents. So who better than each other to team with for a titillating tour?

The pair have today announced the European ‘Set It Off’ trek, which kicks off this Fall.

Journeying through many a major city, the 23-date jaunt is being mounted in support of both act’s’ recent releases.

Tiller’s sophomore album ‘True To Self’ arrived in May and immediately topped the charts, while SZA’s critically praised debut ‘CTRL’ premiered last month at #3.

Smartly building on their overseas popularity, the tour also sees the duo further establish their live portfolio which is where any durable act must thrive in today’s age.

7/7/17 saw Sevyn Streeter‘s star-studded debut album, ‘Girl Disrupted,’ land on shelves in a big way.

The long-awaited project was not only greeted with open ears (and arms) from the singer’s growing legion of fans, but is also welcoming critical acclaim as well – a feat she is undoubtedly hoping will be reflected commercially when the set’s premiere sales week finishes tallying.

To help, Streeter has called upon the help of hip hop heavyweights Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih, and Ty Dolla $ign to assist.  Joining her on ‘Anything U Want’ – a sample of SWV‘s 1992 R&B hit ‘Anything – the cut hears the foursome trade verses back and forth about wooing their love interests with expensive gifts and the like.

 

Definitely one of ‘Disrupted’s standout tracks, ‘Anything U Want’ will reportedly see its video shot next week with a rollout scheduled before the summer’s end.

At a time when Ciara is busy with marriage and motherhood, we salute one of the R&B star’s most bodacious bops. Her 2006 hit ‘Get Up’ is this week’s From The Vault pick.

Helmed by Jazze Pha and featuring rapper Chamillionaire, ‘Up’ was serviced as a promotional single for dance flick ‘Step Up’ starring couple-to-be Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan.

A few months later, the track was also included in the singer’s sophomore effort ‘The Evolution’. It quickly became a hit in the US, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and giving CiCi her seventh Top 10. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as successful in other countries – due to a lack of promotion.

*************

For the song’s visual, a newly-brunette Ci went for an “All Black Everything” approach, with she and her dancers reigning supreme over a dark city. Joseph Kahn directed the video which boasted ample special effects. The film’s leading duo make an appearance too.

*************

We’ll echo this again (and again): Ciara is one of the greatest entertainers of her generation, it’ grating in a way to see her uphill battle to achieve success as easily as she once did. We sincerely hope her next project will be “the one” that finally helps silence the naysayers when it comes to her artistic abilities as well as her chart viability.

The game and lane is Ci’s for the taking. Fingers crossed she plays her cards right.

Keith Powers‘ star is on the rise.

Lauded for his performance in BET’s delivery of the New Edition story, the actor now finds himself standing as one of Hollywood’s more sought-after fresh faces thanks to numbers pulled in by his swelling fan base.

This month, before he rocks theatres by way of ‘Maximum Impact’, the African-American star has been cheered by execs at Awesomeness Films for the part he played in placing $14 million in their pockets.

 

Powers portrays Patrick in the big screen adaptation of Lauren Oliver’s ‘Before I Fall’ and signed on to do so even after learning it was to be armed with a modest budget of $5 million.

This month, thanks to positive word-of-mouth reviews, a leading performance by Zoey Deutch and Power’s bourgeoning box office pull, the movie has generated $14,100,000 worldwide.

Why do you think Powers is so popular?

 

Diana Ross‘ latest live show made its way to Louisiana recently, touching down to woo and wow locals with a new presentation of her hit-kissed discography.

Joined by a live band and stellar supporting vocalists, the entertainer soared through a set list which honoured her time in The Supremes and the brilliant solo career she’s enjoyed since her departure from the group.

When Leona Lewis debuted a decade ago, immediate comparisons were drawn between the songbird and legendary diva Mariah Carey.

Beyond their big voices, Lewis’ early material seemed to echo Carey’s earlier offerings.

In the years since, the Londoner’s narrative has taken on a different path and steered away from the big ballads that defined her astronomical ascend.

Now, it’s looking as though Lewis may be returning to said sound. Because she’s currently logging in studio time with the mighty Walter Afanasieff.

The composer is renown for his work with Mimi, crafting classics such ‘Hero’ and ‘Butterfly.’ He’s also proven so popular amongst’s Carey’s Lamb-base that they’ve been campaigning for a reunion between the two.

For now though, he’s working with Ms. Lewis, who confirmed the news recently on Twitter:

*******

It’s not the first time Lewis and Afanasieff have collaborated (see: ‘Here I Am’). However, the timing of this run is rather noteworthy.

Leona, having not fared as well with the underrated ‘I Am,’ is now tasked with staging a “comeback.” And teaming with a talent as respected as Afanasieff is a smart place to start.

Do you see it for Leona? Let us know below…

Omarion has journeyed to Japan for his latest musical adventure, which he chronicles in the video for new single ‘Word 4 Word.’

Jointly directed by the singer and Deji LaRay, the slick visual is the latest to be lifted from ‘Reasons’ – the crooner’s fifth solo offering.

Though initially set for release almost a month ago (June 16th), its arrival date is now somewhat of a mystery.

Still, O aims to tide folk over with this high-octane clip.

Check it out below…

Easily one of O’s better offerings of late. Sure, his style of choreo feels a touch dated, but kudos to him for pressing on. The song is sonically on par with what’s hot and the visual fits the bill too.

Solid.

Social media is becoming like the WWE Royal Rumble these days. Case in point the ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Instagram’ exchange between Joseline Hernandez and K. Michelle.

As reported, the reality stars and former friends have been trading insults over an issue that ironically wasn’t with one another. [Hernandez has beef with TV exec Mona Scott Young.]

However, that hasn’t stopped the pair from going “there” and beyond. From children to drug use, the draggings have left no stone unturned. And it’s still going on.

Picking up where K left off, Hernandez hit back with…
