It’s almost time for Bruno Mars fans!

The funk connoisseur will hope to make it rain and reign on the charts with new album ’24k Magic,’ which arrives in stores tomorrow.

Since blazing back onto the scene with the LP’s title track last month, Bruno and co have been on an aggressive promotional push. One which has seen them hit many a stage in many a country.

It’s also seen him pose a-front of a number of publications – the latest being NME. Peep the cover above.

With more high-profile promo slots ahead (including this Sunday’s AMAs), all eyes will be on Mars’ sales come next week.

Pending then, watch him action below…

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.”

 Needless to say, the backlash was so heavy it prompted the ‘Paper Planes’ rapstress to offer a clapback:

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…
