‘Shut Up’ hitmaker Trick Daddy is being told by Twitter and Instagram users to follow his own advice after an unflattering, misogynistic IG rant saw the 2000’s rapper suggest black women “tighten up” or else they will become “useless” when compared to their Latina and Caucasian counterparts.

Filmed from his car, the dirty shirt-donning divo’s commentary did not go long unnoticed before fueling a fiery Twitter response.

Trick may love the kids, but if the video below is anything to judge by, the sistas ain’t getting much of it from him:

JoJo definitely received some mad love from audience members during her concert stop in Corpus Christi recently.

The singer, still on the promo trail for and celebrating the release of her third studio album, ‘Mad Love,’ took to the “Sparkling City” to shed light on her love for the late Queen of Tejano Music Selena Quintanilla.  Toasting to life and legacy of the ‘Bidi Bidi Bom Bom’ belter, Jo – accompanied by an acoustic guitar and an energetic crowd – tackled one of Quintanilla’s greatest hits – ‘Dreaming of You.’

Tuck in below to see if she did the tune justice:

“Everybody’s invited to this party we’re about to throw – don’t be the guy left out!”

Those were the words of a certain Bruno Mars during a new promotional interview for new album ’24k Magic.’

Due in stores November 18th, the LP is preceded at retail by its title track, which has thus far peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With a slew of TV spots lined up, such as the AMAs, EMAs, and The X Factor this Sunday, the funky production is almost certainly set to climb even higher.

Surprisingly, despite this, the crooner insists this cycle is not about singles success.

Hinting that his current release is merely an “invitation” to the main attraction (aka the album as a whole), Mars explained to host Carson Daly that the he wants the set to be consumed whole. In all its turnt up glory.

Head below to watch the entire chat, during which Bruno muses on whether his Super Bowl collaborator Beyonce will appear on his record.

It’s no secret that rap has had its share of high profile beefs over the years. From lyrical jabs on on baby mamas and kids to finances, girlfriends, and sexual tendencies, rappers usually leave no stone unturned when trying to “one-up” their opponents.

But, let Twitter tell it, the beef between Grammy winning rappers Drake and Kid Cudi may have seen the former take it a step too far when he dropped a line about the latter’s mental status.

Indeed, Cudi’s self-check in to a facility for help with ongoing issues with drugs and depression was highly publicized earlier this month.  The move was given a fresh douse of gasoline when Drizzy, via his recently unveiled song, ‘Two Birds, One Stone,’ took a jab at Cudi’s reportedly life-threatening condition.

Twitter was not pleased:
