2016 has not been the best year for Grammy-nominated rapstress Iggy Azalea..and it’s not over yet.

After highly publicized feuds with fellow femcee Azealia Banks, ex-fiance Nick Young, rap connoisseurs, and possibly Black America in general, now the ‘Team’ hitmaker has offended a team of animal rights activists who want to see her make a public apology for the photo above.

If rapper M.I.A. wanted to make sure she lived up to her namesake after her final album, released earlier this year, she has done it by infuriating not one, but two of the most dedicated fanbases in music – Beyonce‘s #Beyhive & Rihanna‘s #Navy.

Taking to ‘Q Magazine’ the Brit-bred femcee adds Queen of Pop and ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ co-star Madonna to the mix of her aim:

 “I’m fine with Madonna or Beyonce or Rihanna being ‘inspired’ by my work, but I would like them to then go, ‘Yeah, this immigrant who came out of nowhere influenced us, so maybe not all of them are fucking terrible.”

She continued stating:

 “They go, ‘Yeah, maybe me stealing the stuff says she’s all right. She should be thankful we’re stealing it. Beyonce comes from the school of Michael Jackson-ness. Where the family built an entire world to support you. From when you were a child. I never had that luxury.”

If there’s one thing that’s apparent about Phaedra Parks, it’s that she’s a wordsmith.

Indeed, as anyone who’s watched the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ can attest, the multi-dimensional diva throws shade with dart-like precision.

Just ask cast-mate Kandi Burruss, whose Mom (Mama Joyce) was at the receiving end of a stinging jab.

As the age old adage goes, a problem shared is a problem halved. And for over 20 years, that’s exactly what Mary J. Blige‘s relationship with her fans has been rooted in.

It’s little wonder, then, why the singer is drawing strength from her legion of loyal supporters during her on-going divorce with ex Kendu Issacs.

Today saw the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul visit Good Morning America to promote new single ‘Thick Of It’ and her ‘King & Queen Of Hearts Tour’ with Maxwell.

During her appearance, Mary not only performed, she opened up about the break-up.

All awaits after the jump…

John Legend has unleashed a new jam in the form of ‘Penthouse Floor.’

The funky cut features Chance The Rapper and appears on the 10-time Grammy winner’s 5th studio album ‘Darkness And Light’ (due Dec. 2nd).

Though designed with the dance-floor in mind, the cut manages to pack a potent punch lyrically too.

Legend’s “penthouse” refers to the elusive level of success so many are denied due to prejudice.

Take a listen after the jump…

Watch her soar after the jump…

Frank Ocean and interviews are rarely used in the same sentence. However, an interview is exactly what the reclusive star granted the New York Times recently.

Speaking in support of new album ‘Blonde,’ the crooner made the rare chat count – expanding on topics such as his struggles with fame, feeling isolated by the people around him, record sales, his love life, and much more.

The Queen of Pop is almost ready to… pop!

Pregnant superstar Janet Jackson is reportedly due any day now.

However, that’s not stopping the 50-year-old from running errands in the run-up to her baby’s big arrival.

The ‘Unbreakable’ singer was recently snapped flower shopping in London, where it’s believed she’ll be delivering her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana.

It’s reported that the Qatar-bred billionaire spends a lot of time working in the UK capital, hence his and Janet’s joint decision to station their growing family there presently.

Word on the curb is that, though the shots have surfaced now, they were actually taken on Nov 1st. Could baby Jackson-Al Mana already be here? Knowing how secretive Janet is, it’s not a far fetched notion.

Whatever the case, it’s awesome to see her glowing and gorgeous. See what we mean below…

Its name?

‘The Girl Disrupted Tour.’
