Beyonce made quite the splash tonight at Marlins Park as she touched down to kick off the long-awaited ‘Formation’ World Tour.

The trek, designed to support her latest studio effort, ‘Lemonade’ (featuring the hit tune ‘Formation‘), launched in Miami as scheduled despite controversy surrounding the tour’s security detail (as reported here).  With listed pit stops in every corner of North America and Europe before a close in Spain in August, the 305’s #Beyhive can boast first dibs on the diva’s first outing since 2014’s hotly-selling ‘On the Run’ tour (with husband Jay Z).

If the (trending) Twitter response and accompanying clips are anything to go by, this show may be her best yet.

Iggy Azalea may just be the only one on her team, as she’s asserted via her latest single.

For, after garnering very little support from followers for her stance on the offensiveness of the term “Becky” (in reference to Beyonce‘s new song ‘Sorry’) yesterday, the rapstress has now taken to Twitter to clarify her thoughts on the hot topic.

Clapping back at reports she believe the Queen Bey is “racist” for her use of the word, Azalea schools her followers on the history of “Becky” and so much more.  Get into her latest rant below:

Despite an impressive debut sales week from Beyonce‘s highly anticipated 6th album ‘Lemonade,’ pop icon Prince will still see a purple reign over next week’s refreshed Billboard album charts.

As reported here, his albums ‘The Very Best of Prince’ and ‘Purple Rain’ are #1 and #2 this week respectively based on sales amassed in less than 24 hours.  With continued coverage of circumstances surrounding his untimely passing taking over television and radio airwaves, nostalgic fans have run to digital and brick and mortar record stores to pay homage to the fallen singer/songwriter.

Some of their purchasing power, as we previously reported, will be reflected in the updated Billboard 200. Get the details below:

Mariah Carey has collaborated in some form or fashion with nearly every top diva in music history (see: Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Patti Labelle, etc.).  Now, it appears the 5 octave diva is looking to add another name to the list – Beyonce.

Sending their faithful fan groups (#Lambs and #Beyhive respectively) aflutter when the two were spotted at a charity event together earlier this year, that frenzy was recently sent into overdrive when entertainment reporter Joel Bazile recently lifted a tidbit of info from famed music video director and choreographer Diane Martel‘s private Instagram account suggesting something major is in the works.

Following a 9-week stint at #1 with ‘Work,’ Rihanna finally vacated the top spot of the Hot 100.

Thus far, the release of subsequent efforts have proved relatively futile – a reality many blame on the catabolizing success of the Drake assisted number.

Kelly Rowland has had enough.

The Destiny’s Child diva turned solo star is currently on the promotional run for new BET show ‘Chasing Destiny,’ which is naturally what she’s keen to chat about.

Sadly, it’s a memo an interviewer at WGN news didn’t download properly. Because, in the wake of the release of bandmate Beyonce’s new album, most of the questions levied were ‘Lemonade’ flavoured.

Watch how Rowland firmly and fiercely shuts it down after the jump…
