ariana grande thatgrapejuice mura masa

While rumors of a feud with former tour mate Justin Bieber brew, donut-licking diva Ariana Grande appears to have left a sour taste in the mouth of yet another multi-talented musician.

Indeed, just a year after being slammed for claims of copycatting, now British producer Mura Masa is coming forward with allegations of infringement against the songstress.  Asserting her new song ‘Be Alright,’ the follow-up to her most recent top 10 hit ‘Dangerous Woman’ (from her third album of the same name), is a ‘rip off’ of one of his better known tunes, ‘Firefly,’ the producer got her faithful #Arianators all riled up with his short, but not-so-sweet tweets.

Hear the tunes below and compare:  did Ari jack Masa’s tune?  We await your weigh in…

K. Michelle just may have ‘More Issues Than Vogue,’ as her new album (in stores today) suggests.

Indeed, while it’s been awhile since she has been engrossed in a highly publicized beef (see:  Azealia Banks, Tamar Braxton, SWV’s Coko, Jaguar Wright, and more), now it seems the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ beauty has hopped back to the top of headlines for a very public slamming of fellow R&B powerhouse Kelly Price.

Calling the ‘As We Lay‘ songstress an ‘ugly demon,’ Michelle took to radio today to discuss the details of her not-so-publicized (until now) beef with Price.  While dishing, she also casually mentioned that…umm…Beyonce‘s new album will drop tonight.

Get into (what we hope) is exciting news below:

With stakes high for different reasons per player, tuck in below to tell us:  who are you buying?

Over two months after officially unveiling the tune, K. Michelle finally gifts fans with a visual to accompany her well-received ‘Not A Little Bit.’

Lifted from her tertiary release, ‘More Issues Than Vogue’ (in stores today), the Southern songstress has been hot on the promo trail in support of the project with spot tour dates, endorsement deals galore (including some placements seen in the video), and so much more.

Now, with hopes to amp up buzz around the release, the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart,’ Michelle is hoping a peek at the video for ‘Little Bit’ will make you a little bit more anxious to buy her latest offering.

It definitely did the trick for us.  See it below:

Nick Jonas is back with a new jam.

‘Close’ was uncaged moments ago and serves as the lead release from the crooner’s second studio album ‘Last Year Was Complicated.’

Due June 10th, the set (which features the likes of Big Sean and Ty Dolla $ign) will be the first commercial test of sorts to see if the pin-up can capitalize on the immense success he enjoyed with ‘Jealous’ and its aftermath.

To aid his cause, he has recruited Swedish star Tove Lo for ‘Close.’

Is a bop that’s destined to blow up?! Listen below and let us know…

The day has come for Zayn Malik.

Debut solo album ‘Mind Of Mine’ has marched into stores and is poised to sell north of 200,000 copies.

With today’s streaming age in full effect and on-demand plays now a factor in chart placements, the former One Direction singer is harnessing his power in that realm by unveiling the video for promotional song ‘BeFoUr’ (his spelling not ours).

Grittier than previous efforts ‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘It’s You,’ the visual pays aesthetic homage to his British beginnings.

For many, Kelly Rowland‘s career has been a frustrating one to observe.

Undeniably one of today’s stronger vocalists, a supposed lack of creative direction and all the logistical problems sharing a manager with Beyonce might bring are often cited as two reasons the gifted star was often overlooked at the beginning of her solo journey.

Now, she seeks to carve a new lane for herself via the show ‘Chasing Destiny‘, teaming up with her longtime friend and creative director Frank Gatson to build a group they’ll lead to Destiny’s Child-flavoured glory.

So, to honour of the journey Rowland will pull from to mentor her members, TGJ celebrates her criminally overlooked ‘Simply Deep.’
