Ice Spice continues to heat up the scene with new music. Case in point her new single ‘Deli.’

Unwrapped as part of the expanded deluxe edition of her ‘Like…?’ project, the track’s accompanying video premiered moments ago.

Turning up on the streets of her Bronx hometown, the femcee aptly twerked up a storm in a deli. Because why not?!

‘Deli’ arrives on the heels of the rapper’s Billboard top 10’s – ‘Barbie World’ and ‘Princess Diana’ – both of which featured Nicki Minaj.

Halle Bailey has delivered an emotional performance thanks to her cover of a Billie Eilish song.

Taking to her TikTok account, the songstress used the echo filter to cover ‘What Was I Made For,’ Eilish’s latest release.

Across the song, Bailey delivers incredible vocal acrobatics as she tells the delicate story of the lyrics.

The song is part of the ‘Barbie’ soundtrack and Billie’s version has been met with huge success. It made a top 40 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached the top 10 in the UK.

When it comes to Hip-Hop history stats, few can boast the industry “firsts” that Nicki Minaj can.

As if being the first woman of any genre to own 100 Hot 100 hits wasn’t enough to brag about, Minaj has more top 10 and top 20 hits than any other femcee ever – a record she extended as recently as this month.  In fact, Billboard even crowned the Harajuku Barbie as greatest female Hip-Hop act of all time – a feat that saw her leave the likes of royal forerunners MC Lyte, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, Lil Kim, and others in her rearview.

For the aforementioned reasons and others, Nicki was among the expected names set to line the guest list of Netflix’s highly anticipated ‘Ladies First: A Story of Women In Hip-Hop.’

But, when the special’s official trailer dropped Tuesday (July 25), the rapstress’ fans – affectionately called #Barbz – were none-too-pleased with her absence.

Katy Perry perked the ears of her beloved #KatyCats in April when she teased that she was ‘due for a tour‘ to interact with fans who couldn’t make it to Las Vegas to see her top-selling ‘Play‘ residency.

Doubling down on the notion during a recent chat with ‘People,’ the GRAMMY nominee made clear that she’s never stopped plotting a global jaunt despite not having hit the international tour circuit in over 5 years.

“When I do put out [new] music in a big way, then I want to go around the world and do a big world tour and stuff like that,” Perry shared with the mag in June. “I’m excited for the next interval of music, and I think that that music, obviously, is coming from a really loving space.”

Katy lovers hoping for an official announcement about the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Smile‘ album will have to keep that prayer on pause if new ‘American Idol‘ reports are to be believed, however.

‘ICU,’ the breakout hit of singer-actress Coco Jones, had already proven itself to be one of the year’s biggest R&B hits by the top of summer thanks to the traction it courted for weeks at the height of its popularity.

Going on to win her industry awards (BET Awards, etc.), become her first Gold-certified single at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and her inaugural #1 hit on the genre’s Billboard chart, ‘ICU’ – despite slipping off the Hot 100 entirely by mid-July – was still a force to be reckoned with.

Given an unexpected lifeline by a Justin Timberlake-assisted remix unveiled July 14, the DJ Camper-produced tune’s not only rebounded on the refreshed Pop chart but has landed in a position that marks a career high for the rising songstress.

As its parent film dominates the movie box office, the official ‘Barbie‘ soundtrack is on its way to doing the same on music charts thanks to what’s predicted to be one of the year’s most handsome openings on the Billboard 200.

In addition to singles ‘Dance the Night‘ (Dua Lipa) and ‘Barbie World‘ (Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice), the album’s out-of-the-box success is due in part to the contribution of GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning songstress Billie Eilish (who contributed the hit song ‘What Was I Made For?‘).

Also like Lipa and Minaj, ‘What’ enjoyed top 40 success on the Pop chart – so far peaking at #34 on the coveted count.

In a bid to lift the Finneas-produced tune to even higher Hot 100 heights, Eilish has lifted the lid on a behind the scenes look at the tune’s official music video (which she also directed).

Nene Leakes stepped back into the spotlight for a two-part sit-down interview with Carlos King. 

Renowned for being the breakout star of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ the show’s original anchor has experienced quite the rollercoaster. From serving as a firm fan favorite to sharing the most personal corners of her private life to her well-documented fallout with execs that led to her exit from the show. Nene, for better or worse, has been synonymous with RHOA.

Waxing all sorts of candid on the Reality With The King platform, Nene opened up about feeling like the show is her “baby” having taped its unseen pilot, not initially gelling with the likes of Cynthia Bailey and Phaedra Parks, and feeling like Kenya Moore‘s arrival ushered in a negative change in direction.

Nene also addressed her son’s Bryson drug addiction and his recent arrest.
