Good news for ‘Bad Habits’ hitmaker Ed Sheeran!

After a lengthy break following the gargantuan success of his third and fourth studio albums, 2017’s ‘Divide’ and 2019’s ‘No.6 Collaborations Project,’ Sheeran burst back onto the music scene with new single ‘Habits’ (released June 25).

Since its unveiling, the song has dominated real-time sales tallies and streaming alike – a combo that’s granted it a handsome debut on the Hot 100.  Although initially predicted to be a contender for the tally’s summit (as we reported here), the premiere position of ‘Bad’ wasn’t bad at all.

Chloe Bailey is continuing to give fans some of her beloved covers.

This time around, Drake‘s ‘Marvin’s Room’ was on the docket to be covered. However, unlike previous covers, she switched some of the lyrics on this one.

On the track, she sings:

“You told me that there’s someone else / you messing with my confidence / How you make me feel unwanted / I’m really trying not to hold a grudge / But you didn’t send me flowers for my birthday and now I’m hurting in the worst way.”

Bailey’s latest cover comes on the heels of her teasing new solo music (as we reported here).

Rapper G Herbo is riding high with the release of his new album ’25’ – which looks set to make an almighty splash on the Billboard 200.

Home to singles ‘Statement,’ ‘Really Like That,’ and ‘Break Yoself,’ the set’s title stems from the MC being 25-years-old at the time of its arrival and the death of a friend a week prior.

That Grape Juice‘s Shar Jossell caught up with the star at the 5th Annual Culture Creators: Innovators & Leaders Awards Brunch, where he opened up about his inspiration and creative process over the last year.

Though legions of viewers took to social media to express their concern over the content of Lil Nas X‘s ‘Call Me By Your Name’ performance at the 2021 BET Awards (which made headlines for featuring a same-sex smooch), Rap media mogul-turned-reality TV star Benzino set the Internet ablaze when he not only suggested the showing wasn’t safe for kids to watch but even went as far as to brand it as ‘satanic’ and ‘irresponsible.’

“That sh*t BET pulled was lame as fuck. It was too uncomfortable, too irresponsible, too forced and too irrelevant to the awards,” he said. “Homie ain’t even hot like that for music anymore anyway. It’s a shame what all this is coming too. I wish I has the backing to bring the Source Awards back.” 

Earning an unceremonious slamming for his now-deleted comments (deemed homophobic by many), word got back to LNX who re-tweeted a story about the 55-year-old’s criticism and said:

“I’m sorry but the thought of n*ggas sitting their kids down in the living room and telling them gay people exist is so hilarious to me,” Lil Nas X wrote in the tweet.

As the backlash against Benzino continued days after the BET Awards, he took to ‘Black News Tonight’ to elaborate with resident anchor Marc Lamont Hill about his true feelings on the controversy.

For many, Tamar Braxton is a polarizing figure in the LGBTQ+ community.

While some praise the GRAMMY-nominated songstress as an ally given her legion of gay fans as well as her adjacency to the culture evidenced by her mannerisms and vernacular, others have alleged her allyship is performative – citing her repeated history of using language that’s been deemed ‘insensitive’ and ‘homophobic.’

The latter was a term pelted the way of the R&B diva just this week as social media users clocked her response to anti-Lil Nas X commentary regarding his controversial BET Awards performance.
