As moguls go, few have made a mark quite like Diddy.

Establishing booming businesses that have spanned TV, fashion, fragrance, and beverages, the entrepreneur’s most notable success has stemmed from music.

Having set up Bad Boy Records in 1993, Diddy – born Sean Combs – launched the careers of some of the biggest names ever. He notably produced and featured on much of their music too.

As is the case with most success stories, drama has defined the underside of the narrative, with a number of acts from the label’s roster publicly lambasting Diddy with claims of missing royalties and questionable percent splits.

Well, it appears, those complaints are likely to be no more.

Because, in a game-changing deal (aptly revealed on Labor Day), Diddy is reassigning his publishing rights to the Bad Boy roster of artists.

Beyonce‘s ‘Renaissance World Tour’ may already be the highest-grossing tour by a female artist ever, but the seismic show isn’t resting on its game-changing status.

Quite the contrary.

Because Queen Bey pulled out all the stops at the latest stop of the mega-trek in Los Angeles.

Taking residence at the SoFi Stadium for the first of a three-night run, the superstar slayed with seasoned precision in front of a capacity crowd that included a colossal list of celebrities – including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Issa Rae, Sofia Vergara, Keke Palmer, Kelly Rowland, Tyler Perry, and Tracee Ellis-Ross.

As reported, DJ Khaled served as the opener and brought out several guests including Lil Wayne, Offset, 2 Chainz, and Coi Leray.

One of the central moments during an evening of high points was the return of the viral version smash hit ‘Drunk In Love.’ Popularized during the diva’s epic performance in Dubai at the start of the year, it’s seldom been performed on the tour. Thus, rendering its reintroduction all the more magical.

The ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ may be set for a possible reboot, but that won’t be before its latest season climaxes with an explosive reunion.

This Sunday (September 3) brings with it the premiere of the first installment of the two-part season 15 reunion.

Following the unveiling of its trailer, many fans remarked that the Andy Cohen-anchored conclusion of the latest installment of RHOA looks set to be more entertaining than the season itself.

Further credence has been lent to that sentiment with the unwrapping of new sneak peeks.

In one particularly fiery scene, Sheree Whitfield takes aim at Kandi Burruss’ successful restaurant chain Old Lady Gang – intimating that the idea was stolen and that the ATL hot stop has “nasty a** floors.”

Suffice it to say, an “activated” Kandi clapped back thunderously. Verbally squaring up to the She By Sheree peddler, the revered entrepreneur said:

“Let’s not talk about you not paying the guy with the fashions and that’s why the fashions ain’t on that website.”

She went on to add:

“The fashions on your runway…half of them are not on your site. “

Yikes!
