Fantasia may have stomped her way to critical acclaim after putting her twist on the 803Fresh smash ‘Boots on the Ground (Where Them Fans At)‘ recently, but now she’s undoubtedly looking to cement a footprint on the Billboard charts with the energetic tune.

Two weeks after dropping her official remix of the viral hit, Tasia’s broken out her cowgirl boots for the new edition’s official music video (dropped September 5).

“I’m hanging out till the moon peak like my cheeks hang outta them dukes / When that Sir Davis flowing, I be kicking up dust / Can’t forget about the folding chair / Pop the trunk and grab my Stanley cup,” Fannie wails in the opening verse.

Just ask Kelly Price – the embattled R&B singer currently on the receiving end of massive backlash for singling out Black women during a fiery rant against critics who slammed her appearance at a recent show in Memphis.

As thousands of social media commenters flooded Price’s pages with fresh insults for her stinging take, Shields entered the chat to defend the 9x GRAMMY nominee.

After pressing pause on production of her comeback studio album ‘Love in Real Life,’ singer-rapper Lizzo tided her fans (affectionately called #Lizzbians) over with a mixtape of bangers called ‘My Face Hurts from Smiling.’

And though the SZA and Doja Cat-assisted project failed to impact the Billboard 200 when it was released in June, Liz (born Melissa Jefferson) is looking to give the set another swing at the Billboard bat by unveiling its deluxe edition.

Offering nine new tracks, an easy standout from the September 5-released effort is the Lil Jon-enlisted ‘STFU.’

“Let me remind you, baby, minding your business is free / Let me remind you, baby, touching grass don’t cost a thing / Don’t let me find you, baby, out here chatting shit to me / Yap, yap, yap, yap, who asked you anyway,” she rap-sings over Ricky Reed production.

Bolstered by a prominent sample of Natalie‘s 2005 smash ‘Goin Crazy,’ hop inside to get acquainted with ‘STFU’ courtesy of its official music video directed by Rafael Perez (better known as Rafatoon).
