Well, that didn’t take long.

As reported, this morning saw Katy Perry tease the “special guest” that’ll be joining her during her 13 minute set at the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2015.

Fast forward to moments ago and the Pop starlet has revealed exactly who will be taking to the stage with her come February 1st.

It seems Azealia Banks isn’t the only entertainer unhappy with Kendrick Lamar this week.

For, joining a long list of critics blasting him for remarks made about Michael Brown’s death is Kid Cudi, who has accused of the rapper of looking down on those he believes he should be helping.

Are they? Aren’t they?

Newly single Nicki Minaj keeps the masses guessing about her rumoured romance with rapper Meek Mill.

The pair were snapped in warm embrace alongside Maybach Music stars Rick Ross and Wale last night, presumably in Philadelphia (as Meek cannot leave the state yet per the terms of his recent release from prison).

With Kid Ink‘s new album ‘Full Speed’ set to race into stores on February 3rd, the rapper re-teams with Chris Brown for the LP’s latest single, ‘Hotel’.

Jay Z celebrated the addition of boxer Andre Brown to his Roc Nation Sports roster last night by chilling with one of his most prized priori’s, Rihanna.

Jigga, who has mentored the singles act since her debut in 2005, was snapped posing it up with the 26-year-old at the 2015 Throne Boxing Fight Night in New York City.

Given the endless delays that have plagued Rih’s eighth studio album, we hope (for her sake) that Jay and his team have cooked up a plan to re-rev buzz in her career.

In any case, peep another pic below…

Uh oh!

We knew it had been far too long since reports of Beyonce‘s beloved #Beyhive zooming in on a target, but as always, there will come at least one subliminal or outright diss to send the group into a frenzy.

The latest offender?  Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.

The former, and possibly future, presidential candidate may have caused quite the stir with his latest book, ‘God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy,’ for its recount of damning moments from his life, but it was the addition of his thoughts on music power couple Jay Z and Beyonce that have probably doomed any securement of “the youth vote” should he run in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

And “handle it” they did.  Read his fiery quotes and some equally hot Twitter responses below:

Disappointing might be one word to describe Kendrick Lamar today, set to surprise some fans with a remark he made on the treatment of ethnic minorities during a recent interview with ‘Billboard.’

I wish somebody would look in our neighbourhood knowing that it’s already a situation, mentally, where it’s f—ed up. What happened to [Michael Brown] should’ve never happened. Never. But when we don’t have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don’t start with just a rally, don’t start from looting — it starts from within.

Accused of suggesting that African-Americans who “don’t have respect” for themselves are deserving of the discrimination they’re said to face, it wasn’t long before Lamar found himself on the receiving end of remarks made by ‘Chips’ rapper Azealia Banks.

What she had to say on Lamar’s comment?

Yesterday saw the ‘Pied Piper of R&B’ R. Kelly ring in his 48th birthday.

In big balla fashion, the Grammy winner hosted a ‘who’s who’ affair of a birthday party in Atlanta, with some of the scene’s biggest socialites in attendance (see: T.I., Keri Hilson, Phaedra Parks, and more).  But, before the party got started, Kelly took to a Big Tigger-hosted V-103 Atlanta segment to share his thoughts on the now-infamous, Wendy Williams’ produced ‘Aaliyah: Princess of R&B’ biopic (aired on Lifetime).

Tuck in below to hear the R&B royal deliver less than a royal review of the critically panned flick and the actor who portrayed him:

Move over Mariah Carey!

For, after news surfaced that the 5 octave songbird is readying a nest on the Vegas strip in late 2015, reports now indicate that the ‘Vision of Love’ diva may be getting an eyeful of former nemesis Jennifer Lopez on that very circuit.

Earlier this week, we reported  Lopez declined her initial offer.  Now, with official numbers going public, it seems the ‘Waiting for Tonight’ singer may be weighing her options:
