Lady Gaga has a ‘Million Reasons’ to be elated this week, following the chart-topping success of new album ‘Joanne.’

Now, its success has seen Team Gaga seize on the moment and make an interesting switch.

Man this Kid Cudi vs. Drake beef is turning into the royal rumble!

In case you’ve been under a rock, the whole issue was reignited earlier this week when Drizzy dropped four new tunes – one of which, titled ‘Two Birds, One Stone,’ housed a diss aimed at Cudi’s current mental condition due to previously perceived shade from the ‘Day & Night’ hitmaker. After social media and news outlets went all the way in on Drake for his insensitivity, Cudi, currently undergoing treatment at a rehab facility for his highly publicized bout with depression, took to Twitter to clap back:

After the false alarm that was 2015’s ‘LA Love,’ Fergie finally rang the alarm on news surrounding her long-awaited sophomore album, ‘Double Dutchess.’  Rumored to have been completed as early as March 2016, social media-lifted photos and unconfirmed reports started to get wheels spinning that some official release from the set was nigh.

Though the rumors began to cool by the end of spring, they were given a fresh douse of heat when the singer’s husband, actor Josh Duhamel, went on record stating the project would arrive by Mid-June.  With refreshed excitement over the album – 10 years in the making – Fergie Ferg finally took to Instagram to began teasing it herself via snippets for songs ‘Hungry’ and ‘M.I.L.F. $.’

The latter – a critical polarizer – would be gifted a full fledge roll-out with star-studded video to boot.  Initial response signaled that maybe, just maybe, the world really was ready for a new Fergie album:
