As male R&B singers of the millennium go, few can claim the consistent chart triumphs of EGOT winner John Legend.

Since first lifting his debut studio album, ‘Get Lifted,’ to the top 5 of the Billboard 200 in 2004, the singer-songwriter succeeded that win with a string of hits – watching the five traditional studio efforts that followed (‘Once Again,’ ‘Evolver,’ ‘Love in the Future,’ ‘Darkness & Light,’ and ‘Bigger Love’) enjoy big openings in the tally’s top 20.

And while more of the same was expected with his latest offering, the September 9-released ‘Legend,’ a refreshed print of the Billboard 200 reveals John’s charting trajectory has taken quite the detour.

Although two years have separated fans of John Legend from an official studio album, the wait for a new body of work came to a close Friday (September 9) with the arrival of the EGOT winner’s newest project ‘Legend.’

The first fruit from the singer’s deal with Republic Records (after leaving his label home of 17 years, Columbia), the two-disc affair arrives on digital shelves after support from its critically acclaimed singles ‘Honey’ (featuring Muni Long), ‘Dope’ (featuring JID), and the Saweetie-assisted ‘All She Wanna Do.’

Speaking on the new project, Legend – who is in the middle of the  hotly-selling ‘Love in Las Vegas’ residency at Zappos Theater in Planet Hollywood – revealed:

“Until this point, I’ve never used an aspect of my name as the title of an album. I had to earn that, to live up to it by delivering in the performance and the music. And this is me saying, I’m proud of who I am, I’m confident in the work I’ve done, and I’m just going to declare it.”

Now you can stream the “declaration,” which also features appearances from Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, Jhene Aiko, and more, courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.  Hear it inside:

True to his character on the hit series ‘P-Valley,’ actor J. Alphonse Nicholson – who portrays budding rapper “Lil Murda” – doesn’t take kindly to disparaging remarks about his co-star Nicco Annan (who plays the dramedy’s central character “Uncle Clifford”).

Having wrapped its season 2 on August 14, the controversial STARZ’ show remains a talking point for its exploration of taboo topics including religion and sexuality – chiefly as it relates to subjects of interest to the African American LGBTQ+ community.

Among those recently weighing in on its representation of the latter concept was rapper-turned-Web sensation Plies, who not only said the show’s content “traumatized” him but also took a dig at Nicco’s weight.

Look inside to see just how Nicholson replied to Plies (born Algernod Washington) on behalf of Annan.
