The ‘ANTI’ saga continues.

Thanks to a calculated (and commendable) game of sponsored smoke and mirrors, Rihanna‘s latest album hasn’t crashed and burned as some had expected.

However, sales of the LP have aren’t blazing and the addition of physical units (following its digital only arrival) don’t look to be helping the matter.

Ever wonder why Rihanna sounds like she’s sleeping on new single ‘Work’? Well, wonder no more.

Footage from the recording of the Drake track has been rolled out in a bid to build buzz, but instead serves to answer the question we’ve had on our minds since the song dropped two weeks ago.

The 27-year-old, who released the track’s housing album ‘ANTI’ last week, is seen smoking a cigarette and sipping (what looks to be) red wine. A great combo, no doubt, for those famed vocals of hers.

Last night saw Coldplay, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars blaze the Super Bowl Halftime Show with a spirited performance – celebrating the present and past of the annual extravaganza.

The end of the spectacle saw the Chris Martin led ensemble pay homage to previous headliners including James Brown and Michael Jackson.

MJ’s elder sister LaToya Jackson took to social media to show her appreciation but also vent about the absence of sister Janet in the montage.

For many, Beyonce was the Super Bowl‘s MVP.

Indeed her fierce showing during the Pepsi Halftime spectacle has added yet another chapter to her book of stage slayage and was hailed for being the most talked about part of the entire broadcast (the game included).

Yet, for the ‘Formation’ singer, it appears sharing the stage with friend Chris Martin and his band Coldplay was her highlight.

Queen Bey shared said stance with the folk over at Entertainment Tonight, who managed to snag a quick interview.
