Kelly Rowland has had enough.

The Destiny’s Child diva turned solo star is currently on the promotional run for new BET show ‘Chasing Destiny,’ which is naturally what she’s keen to chat about.

Sadly, it’s a memo an interviewer at WGN news didn’t download properly. Because, in the wake of the release of bandmate Beyonce’s new album, most of the questions levied were ‘Lemonade’ flavoured.

Watch how Rowland firmly and fiercely shuts it down after the jump…

Almost one week has passed since the untimely death of music icon Prince – aged just 57.

As the world continues to process the profound loss, soulful crooner D’Angelo is the latest name to honor the trailblazing legend.

On the most recent episode of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ the singer was joined by Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum‘s cover band Princess to perform ‘Sometimes It Snows In April.’

Watch their sombre yet soothing showing after the jump…

Conveniently coinciding with the release of her new video, ‘The Big Beat,’ fans of Azealia Banks may lend the rapstress a collective side-eye for the timeliness of her ‘anti-Lemonade'(Beyonce) rant last night.  But, after a quick view of the visual – the latest release lifted from her ‘Slay-Z’ mixtape – we’re certain that pause will turn to praise.

Indeed, living up to the title of its parent project, the ‘Beat’ is 3 minutes and 56 seconds of pure house hop slayage – something Banks is accustomed to delivering.

Ariana Grande is still hot on the promo trail in support of her forthcoming 3rd studio LP ‘Dangerous Woman.’

As the album’s title track clings to the top 20 on the Hot 100, you can expect to see the pop princess pop up on your television and radio to continue her quest to return it to its former top 10 glory.  Her latest stop came on last night’s ‘Fallon’ where she not only delivered a dynamo performance of the tune, but also gave an interview where she dished on its parent project (in stores May 20), her modeling dog (Toulouse), and so much more.

After an impressive 9 consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100, Rihanna‘s 14th #1 single – ‘Work’ – has finally taken a bow from the tally’s perch.  Dethroned by Desiigner‘s ‘Panda,’ the song’s 9 frame reign fell just one week short of matching her personal best (see:  2011’s ‘We Found Love’ which was on top for 10 consecutive weeks).

However, fans shouldn’t worry for too long.  For, as ‘Work’ works its way down the charts, the swift ascension of its successor, ‘Needed Me,’ may see Rih back on top before she knows it.  Until then, check out this week’s full chart check – singles edition:

It looks like Azealia Banks isn’t the only rapstress in trouble for sharing her opinion on some aspect of Beyonce‘s sixth album ‘Lemonade.’

Once dodging Twitter attack for “cultural misappropriation” and referring to herself as a “runaway slave master,” Aussie rapstress Iggy Azalea is now finding herself on the opposite end of the heated “racism” argument – now pointing the finger at terms she deems racially offensive.  Joining the conversation as the #Beyhive continue their search to pinpoint the “Becky” referred to in Bey’s controversial tune, ‘Sorry,’ Iggy Iggz weighed in on the term’s usage all together.  After she asserted its offensiveness, the #Beyhive weighed in to give her…well…even more reasons to be offended.

It’s safe to say, like arch nemesis Banks, Iggy should’ve kept her word when she promised to leave Twitter:

Given the send off a music royal of his stature deserves, Prince – who passed away unexpectedly last week (April 21) – has jumped to the top of the Billboard album charts with his ‘greatest hits’ project.

Also occupying the #2 spot with his magnum opus ‘Purple Rain,’ Prince’s reign over the Billboard 200 is all the more impressive considering the lack of streaming availability afforded his projects.  In other words, if it was as widely available as its nearest competitors, the damage he would’ve done to charts this week would almost be unfathomable.

Alas, with a whopping 179,000 and 69,000 equivalent albums moved respectively (all on the last day of tallying last week), the sets hop over the week’s previously projected competitors for #1 & #2 – Rihanna‘s ‘Anti’ and Sturgill Simpson‘s ‘Sailor’s Guide To Earth’ – for the wins.

Leave it to Prince to go out on top.  Tuck in below to check out this week’s full chart check:
