Nearly a decade separates diehard fans of Jennifer Lopez (affectionately known as #JLovers) from the diva’s last English-language studio album ‘A.K.A.’ (2014), but the wait for the LP came to a close on Friday (February 16) with the arrival of ‘This Is Me…Now.’

The conceptual follow-up to 2002’s ‘This Is Me…Then,’ ‘Now’ is written and executive produced by Lopez and Rogét Chayed, Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman, and HitBoy.

Kicked off by the dancefloor ready jam ‘Can’t Get Enough‘ and its supercharged remix featuring fellow GRAMMY nominee Latto, ‘Now’ – accompanied by a Prime Video movie of the same name – boasts a total of 13 tracks including its previously released title track which got a live debut aboard ‘SNL.’

Mo’Nique has been trending for a myriad of reasons of late.

First, for unloading on pretty much everyone during her viral visit to Club Shay Shay and then because of remarks her oldest son, Shalon Jackson, made in response.

As reported, Shalon (who is a comedian himself) took to TikTok to address the reasons his mother made public for their estrangement.

In the wake of his video, Mo’Nique and her husband-manager Sidney Hicks (“Daddy”) dropped a video of their own countering Shalon’s claims of the star being an absent mother. There was also the inference that he has mental health issues. Text message exchanges were then shared.

The latter appears to have irked the father of one anew.

For, he’s shared another video response.

Despite multiple setbacks, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign‘s long-awaited duet album ‘Vultures 1‘ finally migrated to digital music services on February 10.

Coming as the first of a three-volume affair, the 16-track project boasts guest appearances from Travis Scott, Chris Brown, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, Future, Playboi Carti, Freddie Gibbs, and more as well as a who’s who of production contributors like Timbaland, 88-Keys, No I.D., and, of course, West himself (to name a few).

The postponement of the LP’s release from January 12 to January 19 and eventually to the week of February 9 put it smack dab beside Usher‘s ‘Coming Home‘ – creating the year’s most exciting musical showdown yet.

And while the latter opus was aided by a Hot 100 top 40 hit (‘Good Good’), an aggressive promotional run, and increased visibility for its performer via the most-watched Super Bowl in history, the joint superpower of Kanye and Ty still seem poised to overpower the R&B singer on the Billboard 200.
