‘Empire’ may have wrapped its fourth season Wednesday (May 23), but Jussie Smollett is busier the ever.

The 34-year-old actor/producer/singer is putting that latter hat into high gear in support of his long-awaited debut album, ‘Sum of My Music.’  With a world tour underway (click here to see dates), Smollett – alongside Stateside supporting act June’s Diary – took to ‘The Real’ recently to not only dish on the venture but also give prospective concertgoers a taste of what to expect.

Drake‘s new album is titled ‘Scorpion’ and ahead of its arrival, he’s already showing his sting.

The Hip-Hop titan has unleashed  the ‘Duppy Freestyle’ – a diss aimed at Pusha T, who himself slammed Drizzy on ‘Infrared’ – a new song from his freshly released album ‘Daytona.’ He charged the Canadian star with using a ghostwriter.

Clearly unimpressed, Aubrey picks apart the former Clipse member with ferocity and declares that his “demise will be televised.’

But that’s not all. He also had words for Pusha’s G.O.O.D Music comrade and exec producer Kanye West.

Referencing’s Ye’s creative partner Virgil Abloh, Drake rapped:

“I could never have a Virgil in my circle and hold him back ’cus he makes me nervous. I wanna see my brothers flourish to a higher purpose. You n*ggas leeches n’ serpents. I think it’s good that now the teachers are learning.”

What are you waiting for? Listen to ‘Duppy Freestyle’ in full below…

As sloppy roll-outs go, few can rival Ashanti‘s “new” single ‘Say Less.’

Stopping by FOX‘s Good Day LA with a duo of dancers, the former first lady of the INC served up the cut’s first live performance.

How did she do? Watch below for the answer….

In 2017, the respected attorney Phaedra Parks was asked not to reprise her role in the hit series ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ after it emerged that she was behind claims that her co-star Kandi Burruss had joked about assaulting their mutual friend Porsha Williams.

Hidden from viewers was a deeper layer of the story which saw Carlos King, one of its producers, named as the man who allegedly used Parks and Porsha to weave the lie into the show’s storyline in a bid to hurt Burruss who he was said to be feuding with.

Now it appears that this fact has lifted some of the weight Parks was forced to carry alone and seen her return to the series.

Reportedly featured on Jonas’ yet-released fourth album, the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Last Year Was Complicated,’ ‘Anywhere’ is said to draw inspiration from the Drake‘s and The Weeknd‘s of the music world (per the singer himself).
