After lending one of the night’s most talked about performances at the 56th annual Grammy® awards, Katy Perry‘s ‘Dark Horse’ continues to gallop to the top of charts with co-star Juicy J at the helm.

Now, the chart’s current champion Pitbull – whose tune ‘Timber’ (ft. Ke$ha) has a tight grip on Billboard Hot 100’s #1 spot, takes to ‘Horse’ to offer a spicy, unofficial remix to the number.

He may be inadvertently helping ‘Horse’ overtake his own tune on Billboard, but from the sounds of things, he doesn’t mind. Weigh in:  does Pitbull outdo Juicy J? Get into it and tell us:

Not since her debut era has Grammy-nominated rapstress Nicki Minaj seen her name listed as “feature artist” on so many songs at one time.  While her faithful Barbz await news on her forthcoming LP, their tastes of Minaj’s music are coming as accompaniment to some of today’s top rap numbers (i.e. Chris Brown‘s ‘Love More’, Nelly‘s ‘Get Like Me’,  YG’s “My N***a” and more).

Usually offering the most memorable contribution to what ever song she find’s feature, the ‘Va Va Voom’ vixen continues her tradition of track domination with a bossy and glossy remix to Young Thug’s “Danny Glover”.

‘Top Back’ rapper T.I. is clapping back at doomsayers who have ignited rumors that he and wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris are headed for splitsville.

Indeed, despite three successful series depicting themselves as very present lovebirds on VH1’s ‘T. I. & Tiny:  The Family Hustle’, rumors have swirled the net that Tip and the former Xscape singer are looking to escape their marriage after just three years (and 13 years overall of romance).

Well, this appears not so if his Instagram rant moments ago is anything to judge by.  Tuck in below to read the rapper’s fiery words and learn more about his forthcoming album produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Pharrell:

The song instantly became a #Vine regular upon its debut and put up-and-coming rapper YG on the map.  Now, the ‘Toot It & Boot It’ star enlists the help of rap’s A-list to assist with the remix of his top 20 hit ‘My N****’.

Last year saw Tamar Braxton break out in a major way. After becoming a household name in the reality TV arena, the youngest of the Braxton clan would go on to carve out a successful career in music – thanks largely to her album ‘Love And War’.

To celebrate the set’s recent Grammy nomination, the vocal powerhouse performed a special acoustic set at PEOPLE magazine’s pre-Grammy party.

For all its potential, Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ LP has been marred by a brand of “messiness” few thought possible.

Indeed, the project has yielded just one video (last August’s ‘Applause’), has barely been promoted beyond its November release, and has subsequently delivered sub-par sales. Add to this the departure of the star’s manager at  the most pivotal point of its cycle and an already muddy situation quickly becomes mucky.

It appears, however, that Mother Monster is looking to clean-up.

Notably silent of late, the outspoken star took to her website, LittleMonsters.com, to post the shot above and update fans on what they can expect in the coming weeks and months.

GaGa, in her words, below…

Sunday night’s Grammy Awards were not short on controversy. Indeed, between Macklemore‘s multiple wins, Kendrick Lamar‘s shut-out, and Beyonce‘s racy display, the show continues to dominate headlines two days removed.

It’s a trend that looks set to continue – courtesy of soulful singer India.Arie.

The 38-year-old has penned an “open letter” relaying her frustration with the lack of Grammy love directed towards Hip-Hop and R&B artists; something she suggests is soaked in racism.

There exists a trend in the industry that sees gifted singers sadly benched in favour of models who can breath to a beat. Unfortunate? Yes. However, it arguably allows for a deeper appreciation of those that are still carrying the torch for talent. Case, point, Fantasia.

The vocal powerhouse continues to earn praise aplenty for her ever-consistent catalogue and unmatchable stage showings.

This weekend saw her demonstrate the latter at Clive Davis’ Annual Pre-Grammy Gala, where she tore the roof off LAs the Beverly Center with a super-charged performance of ‘Stormy Weather’ (lifted from te Broadway production she recently starred in, ‘After Midnight’).

Hollywood hardman Vin Diesel earned such status by headlining action flicks such as ‘Fast & Furious’ and ‘Riddick’. Yet, recent times have seen the actor flaunt a more playful side.

Ladies and gentleman, we present Vin Diesel like you’ve never seen him before…

Almost two months have passed since Beyonce bulldozed the competition with her new self-titled album. And, still, the blockbuster set continue to fly off shelves. It’s a feat that is even more remarkable due to the limited  promo the singer has embarked on in support of the project.

The first stop? All Access.

Listen below as the 32-year-old dishes on the recording of new singles ‘Drunk In Love’ and ‘XO’.
