Tyla has finally addressed claims that she lifted the idea for ‘Chanel’ from Yung Miami, and the star appears keen to cool the conversation rather than reignite it.

Amid the promotional run for her newly released sophomore album ‘A*POP,’ the South African singer joined Quen Blackwell on ‘Feeding Starving Celebrities,’ where she was bluntly asked whether she “stole” the song from Caresha.

Her answer was emphatic, but also surprisingly understanding of Miami’s position.

Cop a gander at Lil Kim!

The Rap icon turned heads at the Rookie Kids Presents Amazon Kids Back-to-School fashion show in New York City.

Aptly, the 52-year-old was accompanied by her own daughter, Royal Reign.

Together, mother and her 12-year-old styled and profiled on the red carpet, in a sighting that has social media buzzing for a myriad of reasons. Much of the chatter appears to center on the rapper’s recognizability.

Ne-Yo may have seen his inaugural Country album ‘Highway 79‘ ride right into critical acclaim for its innovative mix of Country, R&B, and Pop, but the serial hitmaker still managed to miss the Billboard 200 with its debut – a career-first for him.

With hopes of turning its success narrative around, the celebrated singer-songwriter is shining another spotlight on some of the LP’s content: namely the fan-favorite single ‘Dance Right Now.’

“We could waste time on all that we don’t know / Or we could dance right now / And worry about the rest after the bar shuts down / I think it might be best if we just / Skip all the details we don’t need to figure out,” he sings on the Daniel Breland-co-penned track.
