Birdman sent social media bezerk last week when he sat down for all of 90 seconds at The Breakfast Club and took aim at the show’s hosts.

Why?

According to the Cash Money leader, Charlamagne and co had been throwing jabs for the longest and he wanted to put an end to it.

Inviting hosts Ebro and Laura Stylez to his Miami home, he explained his issue and answered direct questions about the gay rumors, beef with Lil Wayne, and more.

Music’s Queen Bey has the world drinking up her sixth studio album ‘Lemonade’ at a feverish rate.

In recent times, the superstar singer has shunned the singles-driven concept and instead opted to push her projects as bodies of work. So much so that 2013’s self titled set was only available to buy whole upon release.

Interestingly, this go round the diva did make each of ‘Lemonade’s 12 songs purchase-able. The results have proven all sorts of fruitful.

See what we mean…

Together with husband Stevie J, the self professed ‘Puerto Rican Princess’ has become a staple on the Atlanta branch of the hit VH1 show.

To promote the latest season, she stopped by The Wendy Williams Show for an interview that was gloriously awkward…the entire way through.

Beyond Wendy’s sprinkles of shade (much of which clearly went over Hernadez’s head), Joseline’s candidness about Stevie’s infidelity, her interactions with The Game and Rick Ross, and rival Mimi Faust made for TV gold.
