Are B2K on the brink of a comeback?

Three members of the former teen group were snapped laughing it up in Los Angeles this week.

Omarion shared the shot on Instagram, which ignited ample discussion on his page. Perusal of the comments suggests fans would readily welcome a reunion of the ‘Post To Be’ singer with J-Boog and Lil Fizz – who along with with fellow member Raz B – went their separate ways in 2004.

Naturally, the absence of Raz set tongues a’wagging. However, we imagine the “tapes” he’s making these days may not align well with his former bandmates individual or collective brands.

It may have debuted at the 251,000 mark in the US, but Nicki Minaj‘s ‘The Pinkprint’ has failed to soar as high in international skies this week, moving less than 45,000 units outside of her domestic market.

Though doing very little to shake her status as the world’s highest selling female rapper, global sales of her new album were so low that she failed to crack the Top Ten in Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland and Germany, where it debuted at #69.

Fortunately, it wasn’t all bad news for the performer.

Why the entertainer has good reason to celebrate her run on the ‘Billboard Hot 100’?

Cop a gander of Tinashe!

The R&B newcomer heated up the Summer months with the blazing hot ‘2 On’ and closes out the year with a classy cool shoot for Interview magazine.

Striking, the feature comes as quite the coup for the 21-year-old’s campaign for debut album ‘Aquarius’.

Check out more snap and quotes below…

STYLE OF MUSIC: It’s rooted in a place of R&B, but I like to avoid categories because I want to be able to evolve as an artist and for people not to expect the same thing from me all the time. I suppose it’s some grey area in R&B land.

AQUARIUS: This year has been a crazy year for me and my life has totally changed. People look at me differently. I can’t really go places anymore without getting noticed. I’m playing shows, multiple times a week. I’m touring. I’m going overseas. It’s a big difference. It’s awesome.

THE NICEST PERSON I’VE WORKED WITH: One of them is Boi-1da from Toronto. He’s really nice, really great guy. Another one is Stuart Matthewman of Sade. He had a lot of interesting stories to share. He told me about touring the world with the group Sade and performing in Rio.

WRITER’S BLOCK: Do I get writer’s block? Absolutely. That’s the creative process. It’s a process; you never know what’s going to happen. There’s no step-by-step way to write a song. I’m really very selective about who I play my music to in the early stages. I’m a huge perfectionist. I don’t like people to make judgments before it’s at its full potential, so I’m pretty secretive. I don’t even let my family hear it.

I’VE MADE IT MOMENT: There are small moments, but I always have really high expectations so I continue to push for the next level. I think one of the best moments this year was when I turned on my local radio station and I heard my song and then I turned it to the next local station I listen to and I heard my song. Then I turned to a third local station I listen to and I heard my song. That was really crazy.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN ASK FOR… As an artist is that people enjoy the music.

SWITCHING MEDIUMS: I have videos of me singing songs at age one, age two. I think music was always my biggest passion; I was just looking for when I could pursue that full time. I took a step back, when I was about 16, from acting to focus on music. I wanted people to know I was taking it really seriously and to think of me as a music artist first and foremost.

CONFIDENCE: Because everybody always encouraged me to sing I assumed that I wasn’t bad at it. It felt like it was obvious what I was going to pursue. I thought I was good for as long as I can remember.

ENTRY INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY: My dad was a theater actor so he had an agent and he brought me into his agency when I was maybe four years old. That was how I started. I started modeling and it progressed from there. My parents always took me to my auditions and all the places I needed to go to—they drove me around everywhere. They’re extremely supportive, my biggest fans, so I’m really thankful for that.

FIRST FILM: I was in my first movie when I was five. I just loved to entertain and put on a show. I really fell in love with acting at an early age. I always had a great time on set. I knew I was doing something professional, I think. It taught me about professionalism at a really early age and how to conduct myself in the entertainment industry and those types of environments.
