Today, Minaj has taken to Twitter to expose what she believes are unscrupulous efforts he has made to derail her career, relationship, reputation…and pockets.

Just two months ago the twosome clashed online over a ‘business failure,’ they’re back at it with McCall calling out his Grammy-winning foe over ‘stealing from him.’

Another day, another L for rapstress Azealia Banks.

The ‘ATM Jam’ diva, known more for cashing in on publicity for her sharp Twitter rants than her deserving music, strikes again – this time lashing out against ‘Pillow Talk’ wailer Zayn Malik.

Indeed, after slamming the former One Direction singer’s new video ‘Like I Would’ for copying images & scenes from her previous efforts, he quickly clapped back (and his fans along with him).  But, before that beef could cool, the rapstress was embroiled in another tussle – this time with teenage Disney star Skai Jackson.

Did you miss any of the action?  It’s all inside:

With just a month away from the release of his sophomore solo album ‘Last Year Was Complicated,’ you can expect to see much of hitmaking heartthrob Nick Jonas on your screen and newsstands in the coming weeks.

After lending an electrifying performance his latest hit ‘Close’ to ‘Ellen’ this week, fans can now find the ‘Jealous’ crooner taking to the LGBT-publication OUT magazine where he serves as the June/July 2016 coverboy.

The rate Rihanna has set and/or broken Hot 100 records in her short, yet accomplished career is literally astounding.

Just three months after we reported the ‘We Found Love‘ singer found her name beside pop icons Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson for number of top 10 hits amassed over their respective careers, it appears now, thanks to her new single ‘This Is What You Came For’ with Calvin Harris, Ri leaves them both in the rearview.

Not even a month after his controversial spat with legendary rap group N.W.A. over their inclusion in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2016 class of inductees, KISS member Gene Simmons has now ruffled the feathers of fans of another legendary act:  Prince.

The late singer, whose sudden and mysterious death in April continues to dominate headlines, has earned many a tribute from fellow celebs and admirers alike.  However, much to the anger of the ‘Purple One’s beloved fan group, the recent stinging comments the aging rocker don’t exactly fall in the category of admiration.

Indeed, despite the absence of an official report on what caused the ‘Purple Rain’ maestro’s demise, Simmons seems sure it was related to drugs and alcohol.  See his damning words below:
