Though it’s done little to tarnish her public persona in the eyes of the general public, Pop belle Rihanna has made quite the habit of using social media to mock- and in some cases bully- many a public figure.

One of these, being ‘Overdose’ sensation Ciara, whom she launched a lengthy ‘Instagram assault‘ on upon the release of her #1 single ‘Body Party’ earlier this year.

Now, after taking a seemingly unprovoked aim at Adidas ambassador Teyana Taylor this week, the ‘We Found Love‘ performer has seen thousands of web users from across the globe lend their support to her and victims of domestic violence, after a remark Taylor made pertaining the star’s abusive past.

Support, that now sings to the tune of a petition launched to see Taylor’s contract with Adidas terminated, generating more support with every passing hour.

Set for release on September 17th, Rockstar Games‘ ‘Grand Theft Auto 5′ no doubt marks one of the hottest- if not the hottest- video game releases of the year.

The above fact, set to see the project’s sales sing to the tune of $1 Billion….in its first month of release!

On course to outperform its predecessor GTA 4, the four weeks between September 17th and October 17th will see it draw in the mind blowing retail sales figure, according to Robert W. Baird  analyst Colin Sebastian, who shares in a note penned to investors:

“Given the significantly higher installed base of relevant console platforms at launch, greater sales concentration among the top video game franchises, and unprecedented pent up demand, we expect GTA 5 to outpace GTA 4 sales, and generate roughly $1 billion in retail sales during the first month.”

New project alert!

After earning critical acclaim with last year’s ‘Two Eleven’, it appears Brandy is wasting no time cooking up its follow-up.

Taking to Twitter today, The Vocal Bible shared a shot of herself in the studio with hitmaker Mike Will. As many know, the pair teamed up for fan-favourite ‘Do You Know’ – which was a contender for ‘Eleven’s mythical third single.

Clearly elated at the prospect of conjuring up something even better with Will, B-Rocka wrote:

@mikewillmadeit and me! #studio #studio #studio ryanpress215 where you at? Thank you for reconnecting us

There are no if’s, but’s, or maybe’s when it comes to how seriously Beyonce takes her craft. However, in a hilarious new clip, the industry’s top stage blazer shows that she’s able to laugh at herself when things go awry. 

While performing set-closer ‘Halo’ at the Montreal stop of ‘The Mrs. Carter Show’ last night, the diva’s luscious locks became entangled in her trademark wind-machine. What followed was a vocally on-point, yet super “static” rendition of the track.

Check out the fan-footage below, where King B’s Instragram response also awaits…

Fact not fiction; Tank, Ginuwine, and Tyrese are three of R&B’s most gifted vocalists.

However, the trio  – who collectively go by TGT– wowed for all the wrong reasons while promoting new single ‘I Need’ on WLNY’s ‘The Couch’ yesterday.

This is usually the part where we prelude what you’re about to see after the jump. However, this (quite literally) must be seen to be believed…

Tomorrow marks the release of Jay-Z‘s eagerly anticipated new album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’. Unprecedented to say the least, the project’s roll-out (which sees the LP arrive as a free app first) has attracted both praise and critique; a trajectory likely to continue throughout its unorthodox campaign.

In line with the latter, the Roc Nation mogul unveiled the project’s official cover merely moments ago. Check it out above and sound off below…

She was minding her own business….gearing up for the launch of her brand new album.

Then BAM! Out of nowhere came former pal Rihanna, sending a barrage of subtle jabs her way. Unfortunately, despite taking the high road in the situation and sending prayers her way, Ciara found herself facing more unprovoked fire from the ‘Love Song’ singer last night.

Stop whatever you’re doing and watch J.Cole‘s brand new video for the single ‘Power Trip’.

Packing a storyline that falls into the ‘unpredictable’ category and an execution that us thinking ‘VMA’ nod, the clip stands as one of favorite to hit the scene this year.

Think we’re exaggerating?

Guess who’s dropping this summer?!

That’s right, weeks after her new single ‘Body Party’ debuted with a sweet 18,000 units sold first week, ‘Overdose’ darling Ciara has confirmed the release date for her new album, ‘One Woman Army‘ (cue Praise dance).

Confirming the date with the ever hilarious ‘Q Deezy‘, her interview with the radio staple also saw her speak openly on her feelings toward toward ‘Love Song‘ vocalist Future and question a number of unprovoked jabs aimed her way by ‘No Love Allowed’ singer(?) Rihanna.
