Roc Nation priori Rita Ora continues her flood of the media scape.

The talented singer, who was recently announced as a coach on The Voice UK, heats up the double cover of Teen Vogue‘s November 2014 issue.

Sporting DKNY (which she serves as a spokesmodel for), the ‘Black Widow’ belter looks all sorts of lush in the shoot, which serves as a prelude to the arrival of new music. As reported, Ora’s hotly anticipated sophomore album (which’ll also dub as her US debut arrives early next year).

Problem.

That’s exactly what Remy Ma is posing for rappers – both male and female.

The lyricist, who has been hot on the promo trail since being released from prison this Summer, brought all sorts of heat to the BET Hip-Hop Awards 2014 Cypher.

Paired with her husband and fellow wordsmith Papoose, the Remy rocked the mic in a way that has us super excited for her new material.

Hip Hop icon Snoop Dogg has been slammed for his continued targeting of ‘Murda Bizness‘ rapper Iggy Azalea this evening, taking to ‘Instagram’ to mock and berate her for responding to a remark he made about her earlier this week.

What any of this has to do with “ghost writers” and Nicki Minaj?

With the look, the sound, and the moves in abundance, if ever there was a pop perusal for today’s “total package,” Jessie J would be that with a bow on top.

Now, with three years separating U.S. fans from a new album from the powerhouse vocalist, it seems that anticipation to unwrap unheard music from said “package” has reached feverish pitch.  Evidence of such not only lies with the high performance of lead single ‘Bang Bang’ (featuring Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj) on the Billboard Hot 100, but also the acclaim that followed with ‘Burning Up’ (ft. 2 Chainz) and the album’s title track.

Her introductory set, ‘Who You Are,’ narrowly missed the Billboard 200 back in 2011 with a modest 34,000 sold its first week.  Now that fans across the pond know who she is, will we see ‘Sweet Talker’ burning up the charts next week?

Uh oh!  We told you guys this was guaranteed to get messy.

After pop songstress Ke$ha rocked the net this morning by unveiling news of a lawsuit against longtime music collaborator/producer Dr. Luke alleging sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, the hitmaking producer was forced to field off a few attacks of his own via social media.

Tired of the punishment, it appears he is looking to save his name by clapping back at the ‘Die Young’ diva.  Citing defamation of character and extortion, he claims that all of Ke$ha’s allegations are false and are ultimately a ploy to get out of her contract.

Ke$ha said it best herself:  this sh*t’s about to blow.  Read his statement below and tell us who you believe:

Christina Aguilera is heading back to ‘The Voice’!

After putting her work on the show on hold to commit to mommy duties, the ‘Mi Reflejo‘ singer is to return to the NBC singing contest, before the release of her Urban-kissed new album.

Her return to the series for its eighth season will mark the first time she has worked on it alongside Pharrell Williams, who joined the series to replace the axed CeeLo Green, and will see her reclaim her position from singer Gwen Stefani, with whom she shares a manager.

‘Blow’ beauty Ke$ha has blown headlines into a whirlwind this morning with reports that she is suing longtime music mentor/producer Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery.

While the past year has seen the singer in headlines for everything but music (see: eating disorder, rehab, etc), her mom – Patricia Serbert – launched a campaign of sorts against the hitmaking producer claiming that it was his fault her daughter’s life was so troublesome.

Now, in a lawsuit obtained by multiple media outlets, it looks like Ke$ha is ready to substantiate those claims.

Remy Ma is back and better than ever, if her ongoing promotional trek is anything to judge by.

After a six year stint in prison, the Grammy nominated rapstress is hot on the promo trail in support of her new mixtape ‘I’m Around’ to keep hungry fans satiated until her forthcoming LP is finished.

Chatting it up this morning with ‘Queen of All Media’ Wendy Williams, Remy ran over hot topics like marriage to fellow rapper Papoose, friendship with Keyshia Cole, and reported beef with Nicki Minaj.

What juicy tidbits did she spill? It all awaits below:

With K. Michelle‘s new single ‘Love ‘Em All’ flying the flag for her forthcoming sophomore album, That Grape Juice caught up with the outspoken star who readily dished on the project and the plans she’s put in place to see it soar.

Ever-candid, the soulful chanteuse revealed a unique strategy that will see her pair the LP with out-of-the-box visuals and work different songs at different genre formats – including Country. She also waxed honest about her upcoming VH1 reality show ‘K. Michelle: My Life’ (which kicks off next month)

That isn’t all, though. For, true to form, Michelle served up LOL’s aplenty – particularly when detailing her issues with Lil Kim and Elle Varner, the latter of whom she appeared open to burying the hatchet with.

Never a dull moment with K Michelle. Check out our exclusive interview above!

Ashanti may have just celebrated her birthday yesterday, but it appears the once crowned ‘princess of Hip Hop & R&B’ is the one giving out the presents.

Was it worth the wait?  See Ashanti up her sexy below and tell us:

Zero damns when given by rapper Snoop Dogg recently, when he took to ‘Instagram’ to mock ‘Fancy’ lyricist Iggy Azalea.

Slamming her with this pic after she told a photographer that she hoped he contracted the deadly Ebola virus, Dogg‘s fans soon learned that the usually sweet Azalea is anything but when disrespected, blasting the rapper for his supposedly duplicitous nature.

Unfortunately for her, Dogg has now clapped back at her clap back today, revealing that he wishes she would take aim at him again.

Why the babe from down under may not want it with the West Coast hit maker?
