Bow Wow is putting those retirement plans on pause with hopes fans will be pressing play on his new song ‘Use Me‘ with Chris Brown.

“It’s been nearly a decade since I dropped a full project, and to still be going strong twenty-five years after my debut is a blessing,” said Bow about the new song dropped on Friday (March 28). “Getting back in the studio with Chris [Brown] feels like a full-circle moment. Every time we connect, we create something special.”

The longtime collaborators have delivered multiple Urban music favorites over the last 20 years including ‘Run It (Remix)’ and ‘Shortie Like Mine,’ but ‘Use’ comes as their first joint effort since 2010’s ‘Ain’t Thinkin Bout You.’

“I’ll let you use me, yeah / Use me, yeah / You’re so sexy, won’t you come bless me? Quit playin’ / Do what you wanna do with me, do your thing, baby,” Brown croons over production from Hitmaka and Go Grizzly.

Tamar Braxton stopped by The Breakfast Club to promote her new cooking show. And while there, she served up a spicy response to her beef with Kandi Burruss.

The pair made headlines this week when the booked and busy Burruss was quizzed about unsavory public remarks Braxton had made about her Old Lady Gang restaurant.

Brushing off the comments, the former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star said she wouldn’t play at the “circus” with “clowns.”

Now, Tamar has clapped back.

As the age-old adage goes: “all publicity is good publicity.”

Just ask Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa, who are leaning all the way in to the drama-drenched headlines of the last few weeks.

Jess unquestionably lit the match when she took to social media to vent her frustrations about her role on ‘The Breakfast Club’ and the rationale for LoRosa (who onboarded during her maternity) still being in the mix upon her return.

As the masses watched and weighed in, further fuel was poured on the fire when the ladies (alongside co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy) hashed out their differences live on air the next day.

With the melée seemingly in the rearview and LoRosa landing her own podcast, the show appears to be moving forward as a four-piece.

Playing up the headlines, the ladies have dropped ‘The Job Is Mine’ – a hilarious take on Brandy and Monica‘s ‘The Boy Is Mine.’

Watch after the jump…
