Oh boy is exactly what spectators were saying once they copped a gander at the Instagram tussle between rapper Cam’ron and comedian Faizon Love earlier this week.

It all started when Love accused JAY-Z of being fake and fabricating his drug-dealing past.  Once Cam got wind of the funnyman’s comments, he came to his former Roc-a-fella friend’s defense. What ensued afterward was an all-out war.

Tuesday (July 28), the Television Academy announced its highly anticipated Primetime EMMY nominations for its 72nd annual ceremony (as we reported here).  Easily its most diverse crew of nominees to date, the list made history for being the most inclusive of acts of color in the event’s history.

In recent times, he’s ditched the surname and has gone solely by Jaden.

This week brings with it the eagerly-awaited return of Brandy, who will unleash her seventh studio album ‘B7’ on Friday July 31st.

The ‘Baby Mama’ led LP looks set to quench the thirst of fans, who last hit play on a project by the GRAMMY-winner in 2012.

Ever candid, the Vocal Bible has been open about the hurdles and hardships faced in the eight years that followed the critically-acclaimed ‘Two Eleven.’ With one of the most notable being the fall-out with her former record label; a legal wrangle that left her unable to release music for an excruciating spell of time.

With that drama in rearview, last year saw the songbird hatch liberation anthem ‘Freedom Rings’ to trumpet her comeback.

Now, she’s taking flight to new creative heights on her latest body of work.

Comprised of 15-tracks, ‘B7’ sees Brandy – for the first time in her illustrious career – cowrite on every song featured.

Shaped by hitmakers such as DJ Camper, Hit-Boy, and the late and loved LaShawn Daniels, ‘B7’ is an effort B-Rocka bills as her most personal offering yet.

That Grape Juice was privy to an early listen of the entire album and echo said sentiments.

Kanye West is backtracking.

The rapper made headlines the world over when he threw jabs at wife Kim Kardashian in a shocking Twitter rant.

In unpacking his desire for a divorce, he likened his life to a real life mirroring of the movie ‘Get Out,’ implied Kardashian had extramarital relations with rapper Meek Mill, and labelled her Mom Kris Jenner “Kris Jong-Un.”

Also, in a preceding South Carolina rally for his US presidential campaign, Ye claimed his wife had initially wanted an abortion upon falling pregnant with their first child North.

Many waited with bated breath for Kardashian’s response. Yet, when it materialized, it centered more on the need for understanding – given West’s bipolar disorder.

Now, the MC is pivoting from his initial stance and has issued a public apology to his wife.

As the #FreeBritney social media campaign continues to pick up steam thanks to the attention brought to Britney Spears‘ latest conservatorship hearing on July 22 (which was ultimately postponed due to hackers interrupting the virtual Zoom meeting), people closest to the legal matter are speaking out – namely the GRAMMY winner’s siblings.

First, her younger sister Jamie Lynn made headlines this week as she praised the singer for being a ‘badass, unstoppable woman,’ but was careful to avoid making comments about her mental health.

Now, their brother – Bryan Spears – is weighing in and dishing on how the family is dealing with the media hoopla surrounding the conservatorship.
