After scooching to critical acclaim in 2023 with her final R&B album, the ‘Scooch‘-led ‘I’m the Problem,’ singer-reality star K. Michelle is continuing to gift fan favorite cuts from the project accompanying music videos before fully launching her Country career.

Having already lifted a string of visuals for the LP’s housed songs like ‘Wherever the D May Land,’ ‘Same Damn Show,’ ‘Hurt Sh-t,’ ‘Tennessee,’ and ‘You,’ the award-winning songstress is back with yet another clip – this time affording the warmly received ‘This Man‘ the visual treatment.

“What do you do when the man that you love don’t love you? / There’s no words or no phrase to make you feel like I do / You just abandoned my heart like I wasn’t worth a damn / You didn’t want me from the start, you showed me that by loving her,” she croons on the Cassius Jay-produced tune.

Doja Cat started the week with news she made Billboard history thanks to ‘Scarlet‘ hits ‘Agora Hills’ and ‘Paint the Town Red,’ but – if the reaction to her two newest songs are any indication – she may be well on her way to repeating the record-setting feat.

Tapped for ‘The Book of Clarence’ soundtrack, Cat contributed the Jeymes Samuel, Kodak Black and Adekunle Gold-assisted ‘JEEZU‘ to the star-studded album that also features names like JAY-Z, D’Angelo, and Lil Wayne on its roster. The musical project hit digital shelves on Friday (January 12) – the same day as its parent film.

Elsewhere, Doja joined forces with fellow GRAMMY-winning rapper 21 Savage as the guest on his song ‘n.h.i.e.’  

Found aboard his latest effort, ‘American Dream,’ the opus (like ‘Clarence’) is also attached to a movie – a biographical venture of the same name that chronicles Savage’s rise to fame.

Despite having a pretty quiet 2023 as he’s baking the follow-up to his 2021 debut studio album, ‘Montero,’ rapper-singer Lil Nas X is still managing to piss off the conservatives.

Having already caused uproar in the past for everything from selling “Satan shoes” to delivering racy award show performances, music videos deemed sacrilegious, and more, the chart-topping hitmaker (born Montero Hill) seems to always find a way to get on the group’s bad side.

Beyond most recently being the subject of admonishment from celebrities and critics alike for claiming he’s entering his “Christian era,” he’s also landed in the sights of the American Family Association (AFA).
