Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o also appears within the inner pages.

For Rihanna‘s new album ‘ANTI,’ it would appear the truth – and not TIDAL – will set it free.

Released Thursday to much chaos (see: early leak), confusion has encased the true commercial performance of the project ever since.

On the one hand, Jay Z‘s streaming claims 400,000 “bought” the LP (beyond the million free downloads it offered), while the RIAA went on to certify the project Platinum after just 24 hours.

However, with a lukewarm launch iTunes (where the album was made available to purchase a day after its TIDAL arrival) and no physical copies in stores (yet), all eyes have been on the first week predictions.

Well, wonder no more. Because, the first ‘ANTI’ sales predictions await below…

Rita Ora hit headlines last December when she sued for her release from longtime label Roc Nation.

As widely reported, the London bred star (who has 5 UK #1’s and  1 US top 5 to her name) has been signed to the Jay Z helmed imprint since 2009 – and after much ado finally looked set to release her first Stateside album early this year.

However, said plans were dashed into disarray after the filing of her suit – which argued that she was essentially self-funding her releases as the label were focussing on other ventures (see: TIDAL, Roc Nation Sports).

In the months since, little else had been divulged, with fans left speculating the status of the case after Ora was immediately removed from the roster page on the Roc site.

Today, though, things seem to have taken an ugly turn…

Trey Songz fans are getting blessed with yet another visual from his November 2015 mixtape ‘To Whom It May Concern.’  After kicking off his new year with a visual for the fan favorite ‘Blessed,’ the R&B crooner is back with  ‘Everybody Say’ (featuring Dave East, DJ Drama, and MikexAngel).

With bad b*tches, gold grillz, and liquor flowing in tow, Songz’ newest visual offering comes as everything except a departure from his standard fare – a truth, we must say, we’re hoping isn’t the case when his next studio LP (‘Tremaine’) hits stores.

Until then…
