Azealia Banks is hoping Cardi B‘s run at the top comes to an end soon.
Vocal about the fact that she’s yet to be impressed by what her fellow New Yorker has to offer musically, today brought with it a fresh diss from the ‘212‘ star.
Why?
Find out below…
August Alsina made a triumphant return to London at a packed-to-capacity indigO2 show presented by Musicalize.
It’s been two years since the R&B star hit the capital. And while for most acts said window represents a standard bridge between projects, his was the result of a much more serious reality. For, the New Orleans native has publicly battled a number of life threatening health challenges.
However, there was no let-up in his dynamite dexterity on stage.
Donning a suave red suit (of which little was left by the night’s end), the 25-year-old commanded the crowd with spell-binding precision. And it didn’t require a plethora of production bells and whistles.
Effectively comprised of a mic, a DJ, and two Duracell-powered dancers (who delivered all evening), Alsina’s set placed the focus on his most prized assets: his catalogue and the vehicle that powers it – his voice.
Oft underrated as a vocalist, the singer gifted himself and fans many a moment showcasing the length and breadth of his impressive range. Indeed, performances of jams such as ‘Make It Home,’ ‘I Luv This,’ and ‘Downtown’ were punctuated with adlibs, runs, and outright belts that were evocative of a time when singers really…sang. Ah, the nostalgia.
Naturally, Alsina did indulge the obligatory “R&B pin-up” schtick. Case in point, a topless wipe-down to rapturous applause. But most praise-worthy is his holistic improvement as a performer.
Confident and comfortable, the star organically locked in (and out) of synchronised choreography with his dancers and worked all corners of the stage. He gave a…show; which is a marked improvement from earlier outings.
Despite a spell out of the spotlight, Alsina continues to prove himself to be a compelling artist. One with ample live gravitas. And with new music en route, he clearly has a talent and fanbase that’ll serve him well.
Los Angeles last night played host to the world premiere of Marvel‘s hotly anticipated blockbuster ‘Black Panther.’
Due in theaters February 16th, the film – which is anchored by Chadwick Boseman and features a star-studded cast – is tipped to become one of the biggest box office successes of all-time. And that’s just based on pre-sale tickets.
A few weeks remain until the masses will be able to see the movie epic, but its cast offered an elaborate preview of the spectacle ahead at the premiere.
Posing it up on the elaborate purple carpet were the likes of Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. Jordan, Daniel Kaluuya, director Ryan Coogler, and Angela Bassett.
Other familiar faces in attendance included Usher, Donald Glover, Janelle Monae, and Yara Shahidi.

Details on the monumental moves being made by Shonda Rhimes and her peers to slice abuse out of the industry below…
Her name is Tommy Genesis.
Unfortunately, despite making promising waves as a musician this year, this artist is set to receive the most publicity she has scored to date for all the wrong reasons.
How so? Theft.
someone ruined it for me… so now i’m going to ruin it for you: the flow/cadence/concept of Bartier Cardi is a direct rip off of a song called “Tommy” by a female rapper named Tommy Genesis

For the wrestler-turned-actor, real name Dwayne Johnson, is the latest name to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
Rocky was watched on by pregnant partner Lauren Hashian, their daughter Jasmine Lia, his mom, and former wife turned business partner Dany Garcia.

Chris Brown just sprung a surprise on fans; an early Christmas gift of sorts.
The R&B rule-breaker is once again living up said billing by releasing more new songs from his still-new project ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon.’
Christened “Deluxe Edition: Cuffing Season,” the project adds 12 tracks to the already beefy 45 cuts on the original. Which now makes a total of 57.
Joining the 28-year-old on the project (which is out now) are the likes of Ella Mai and Solo Lucci.
There remains open conversation about quality over quantity, but one does have to salute Chris for – at the very least – hooking his fans up on consistent basis.
Take a listen to ‘Heartbreak On A Full Moon Deluxe Edition: Cuffing Season – 12 Days Of Christmas’ below…
Grammy winning diva Fantasia Barrino is one of 15 prized champions from ‘American Idol’s storied decade-and-a-half long reign over the reality singing competition format.
The juggernaut show, which said goodbye to airwaves in 2016, was barely gone a year before reports began swirling of a reboot. Now that the reboot has been confirmed for a March 11, 2018 launch (with judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan onboard), some have begun taking to press to express their concern about just how successful a reprise of the series would be so soon given its significant ratings decline in its later years.
On a recent pit stop to Andy Cohen‘s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ (BRAVO), Barrino became one of those skeptics. Quizzed by a caller on her thoughts on the show’s swift return, Fannie weighed in on that hot topic, the new judges, and more.
