It looks like ‘Look At Me Now’ singer Chris Brown is on a rampage.

After slamming former collaborator Kevin McCall and presidential candidate Donald Trump in fiery social media rants over the last two days, now the Grammy winning beau has reignited beef with former girlfriend/actress Karrueche Tran.

Yes, despite recently making a plea to reunite with the burgeoning starlet on his latest single ‘Back To Sleep,’ it appears now the 26-year-old is back to his old ways – ridiculing Tran and, of course, calling her every name in the book.

After a string of professional and personal successes over the last year, ‘So High’ hitmaker John Legend has been just that – riding high on award wins, chart-topping hits, and more.

Now, as if forthcoming fatherhood wasn’t enough to sing about, the Grammy & Academy Award winning crooner can boast delivering record ratings for WGN America as his new show, ‘Underground’ (starring Jurnee Smollett-Bell), drew in a whopping 2.5 million with its Wednesday night premiere.

Taking to AOL in a recent interview, Legend weighed in on the controversy surrounding the show as well as racial tension in the U.S. today (ripping into Donald Trump‘s ‘racist rhetoric’).  When quizzed on his new album, however, the singer delighted fans with news they should expect the project in late 2016.

Tuck in to hear his thoughts on ‘surprise’ album releases, a la ‘Beyonce,’ and if his 5th album will be unveiled with a similar rollout:

After dominating the Billboard 200 for 10 non-consecutive weeks with her massive comeback album ’25,‘Hello’ hitmaker Adele bids farewell to the top spot once more this week.

Ousted by alternative band/fellow Brits The 1975, it should be noted her abdication was fairly narrow given the group’s new album only sold 25,000 more copies than hers its first week (this week marks ’25’s 15th week).

But, those hoping for her return to the top soon will have to wait yet another week as, we reported here, ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ beau Kendrick Lamar‘s latest album, ‘untitled. unmastered,’ is set to be the master of next week’s refreshed chart.

Until then, tuck in below to check out this week’s occupants of the Billboard 200’s top 25:

‘Underground,’ a pre-Civil War-based series centered around a group of Georgia plantation slaves who embark on a 600-mile trek to freedom via the Underground Railroad, has been colored with controversy since its 2015 announcement.

Executive produced by Grammy & Academy Award winning singer John Legend, the WGN America program (starring Jurnee Smollett-Bell) has seen its fair share of criticism as some argue it supports the notion the only noteworthy roles available for black actors are those based on slavery or some dark area of the African Americans’ past in the America.

But, despite ongoing skepticism, the show – which made its premiere last night – set viewership records for its network home.  Get the details below:

‘Back To Sleep’ singer Chris Brown is back on the attack just a day after slamming former ‘Strip’ collaborator Kevin McCall.

This time with his sights on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, the Grammy winning beau took to Instagram to wield a lengthy, yet fiery weigh in on the potential Republican nominee and recent reports of people (of color mainly) getting attacked at political rallies in his support.

Dropping no shortage of F-bombs and claims of racism and cultural misappropriation along the way, tuck in below to get into the not-so-kid-friendly read lent by Brown:
