Mo’Nique raised eyebrows yesterday when calling for fans and fellow entertainers to boycott Netflix.

As reported, the comedienne went public with her rally over what she feels to be race and gender bias exercised by the company during negotiations for a comedy special.

A mixed bag of responses greeted her demand, but undeterred she expanded on her stance in a new interview with Sway In The Morning on Shade45.

During the intriguing chat, she goes into deep detail about the exchange between her camp and the streaming giant. She also tied the narrative into her much-publisized falling out with Oprah, Tyler Perry, and Lee Daniels.

Jessie J is currently in China and making her presence felt on popular show ‘Singer 2018.’

The competition pits celebrities against one another in a series of week to week sing-offs.

Tapped as the big “international” acquisition, the 29-year-old has been topping the table on each episode – the latest being no different.

And for good reason.

J blew the roof off the studio with a spirited rendition of Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Have Nothing’ – one that wouldn’t have been amiss during last year’s AMAs. But we digress.

As one of the world’s most recognisable faces Nicki Minaj is undoubtedly highly sought after as a Hip-Hop musician.

Fortunately, thanks to facts and figures obtained by Box Office Mojo, she can now celebrate news that she is just as bankable as an actress.

Camila Cabello‘s ‘Havana,’ Rihanna‘s ‘Needed Me,’ Nicki Minaj‘s ‘No Frauds,’ and Katy Perry‘s ‘Swish Swish,’ are just a few of the credits lining the resume of songwriter Starrah…and one of the reasons she’s being branded by some as “the biggest songwriter in the game right now.”

With such an impressive list of hits to her name, it’s no secret she’s being sought out by many – including Queen of Pop Madonna (who’s reportedly hard at work on her 14th studio album).  Making the reveal earlier this week, some fans of the legendary songstress were thrilled to learn she’s not only working with Starrah, but also reconnecting with ‘Ghosttown’ producer Billboard.  Other fans, well…not so much.

Fielding criticism for “chasing hits” or “making hip hop records,” some of the diva’s followers made no secret of their displeasure of the 59-year-old singer presumably making music that would appeal to younger music buyers.

Never one to mince words, M had enough and took to Instagram to clap back:

Justin Timberlake may not be rustling up the charts with his new music, but he’s certainly rustling feathers.

While promoting new album ‘Man Of The Woods’ on Beats 1 radio, he made a comment about Las Vegas residencies that probably won’t resonate well with fans of former flame Britney Spears.

Mariah Carey is ready to work.

Under her old management regime, the songbird surprised many last year when revealing she’d be focussing on singles instead of albums – despite the latter being something she prided herself on. Especially as a songwriter.

Now, having cleaned house and joined Roc Nation, Mimi is singing another tune.

Reliable word has it that she’s been mapping out the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Me I Am Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse’ and she’s confirmed as much moments ago.

As rap feuds go, few were as intense or as documented as 50 Cent and Ja Rule‘s tussle in the early 00’s.

Ja and Murder Inc had the industry in their palm after a multi-year run of back-to-back smashes. Then 50 emerged with G-Unit, jabs were traded both on wax and in interviews, and the tide quite quickly turned. Legal issues swallowed Ja and co and the rest is history.

Or is it?
