Britney Spears has largely avoided a return to the music scene following her emancipation from the conservatorship that governed her personal and professional life for 13 years.

Indeed, sans a well-received collaboration with Elton John, the Pop force has been vocal about her desire for an indefinite break from the industry.

As such, it surprised many when ‘Mind Your Business,’ a “new” collaboration with will.i.am, sprung up this summer. Even more perplexing was Spears’ total ignoring of the track.

Ultimately, unlike the pair’s previous chart-topping duet ‘Scream & Shout,’ the song failed to ignite on the charts – missing the Billboard Hot 100 entirely.

And while the release is seemingly in rearview for all, it didn’t stop the Black Eyed Peas frontman from being quizzed about it during an appearance on This Morning while in London promoting his judging stint on the new season of The Voice UK.

During the chat, he shared an interesting information nugget; one that is sure to raise eyebrows and add a further layer of confusion about why ‘Mind Your Business’ was released.

When JAY-Z gives an interview, the world stops and listens.

A rare sight, the GRAMMY-winning music mogul took to ‘CBS Mornings’ recently to celebrate the new ‘Book of HOV’ exhibit at the Brooklyn Library that toasts to his history-making, three-decade career.

When not reflecting on his rags-to-riches journey and his albums that helped reshaped Hip-Hop, the 53-year-old emcee opened up about his wife Beyonce‘s record-breaking ‘Renaissance Tour,’ proud moments as a father to their daughter Blue Ivy, and so much more.

Virtual shots continue to ring out between DJ Akademiks and rapper Saucy Santana over the former’s disparaging remarks about Yung Miami.

No stranger to ruffling the feathers of female rappers having slammed the likes of Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion over the years, he recently took aim at the City Girls star by accusing her of perpetuating homophobia due to her friendship with Saucy, slamming the low album sales of ‘RAW,’ and even suggested she had no talent and was a “one-trick pony.”

Once Santana (born Rashad Spain) entered the chat, Akademiks went on record to clarify he has no beef with the LGBTQ+ community overall but with Spain specifically.

“Me and you couldn’t even have a conversation,” Akademiks said in a slur-laden speech. “You’re a cocks*cker n***a. We don’t talk to n****s like you.”

Calling on Saucy to “pull up to his headquarters” (suggesting he was ready to get into a physical altercation), the ‘Booty‘ hitmaker bounced to social media to render a fiery clap back.

Khia, the self-proclaimed “motormouf,” is keeping her engine hot and running with disses hurled toward new nemeses Sexyy Red and Sukihana.

What started as a rant on her popular YouTube series, ‘Gag Order,’ dissing critics for comparing her to the relative newcomers has turned into an all-out war.

After Suki threatened to “knock her out” for the inflammatory commentary, Khia hit back with a fiery response suggesting the ‘Eating‘ rapstress was suffering from brain damage due to a untreated syphilis.

In a more recent clip, the 46-year-old took aim at Red for calling her a ‘washed up hag.’

Drake‘s domination of Billboard last week thanks to his latest album, ‘For All the Dogs,’ was just the tip of the iceberg of history-making success he achieved this month.

Beyond becoming the first act to amass over 75 Hot 100 top 10 hits, collect over 300 entries on the chart, and have the most #1 debuts (9 total), he tied King of Pop Michael Jackson‘s record for most #1 hits among males overall.

On the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) side of the fence, the wins were unprecedented as well.

Set to stream on Paramount+, the latest edition of the film franchise – which also stars Lil Rel Howery, Kamaia Fairburn, Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg, Alex R. Hibbert, Fabrizio Guido, Elizabeth Hinkler, Emily Hinkler, Anabel Graetz, and Carmen Electra – sees its dynamic duo battling the “powers that be” after their beloved restaurant is bought out by a corporation.

Just a day after Flavor Flav‘s U.S. national anthem performance left NBA fans confused and concerned, MLB fans were floored by a stunning rendition of the historic tune rendered by Jordin Sparks.
