After lengthy spell away from music, Kelly Rowland has been feeding fans with fresh material of late.

Last December brought with it hard-hitting buzz cut ‘Kelly,’ while this month saw the star team with beauty brand Dove for hair anthem ‘Crown.’

And there’s more on the way.

Because Ms. Kelly has teamed up with one of the UK’s most exciting new names – RAY BLK.

Good things come to those who wait it seems.

For, after a serial delay, February 22nd brought with it the long-awaited arrival of Offset‘s debut solo album, ‘Father of 4’ (click here to stream).  Lined with high profile features from the likes of Cardi B, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, J. Cole, Quavo, and more, the set zoomed to #2 on iTunes sales charts just hours after its unveiling (blocked from the top by Lady Gaga‘s ‘A Star is Born’ soundtrack).

Yet, its saving grace – much like the solo efforts of his Migos brothers Quavo and Takeoff – has come from the streaming realm.  So much so, industry analysts predict the project will outpace the competition (including Gaga and her post-Academy Award acclaim) for next week’s top spot on the Billboard 200.

To ensure such, Offset has unveiled a cinematic video for the album’s tune, ‘Quarter Milli.’  Tapping Gucci Mane to assist, the clip – set in the 1920s – sees the duo as old school gangsters who’ve band together to pull of a bank heist before jetting off into the sunset with a quarter milli in cash.

Look inside to see the visual:

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing some of R. Kelly‘s child abuse survivors, has revealed that the performer has violated his bail conditions by visiting the same McDonalds he used to frequent to target African-American children.

Khia  has hit out at the entertainer Billy Porter because she feels he needs to “dress like a man.”

The performer made headlines when he attended this year’s Oscars in what some described as a gender-fluid fit and has now been urged by Khia to wear clothes she believes are befitting of men.

Do you agree with her?

That’s why society has a problem with this. If your back is as wide as the Incredible Hulk I don’t want to see you in a ball gown.

R. Kelly is facing quite the legal battle after being charged with 10 counts of sexual abuse.

And with the former chart-topper’s finances in disarray, the struggle was all sorts of real to pay the 10% due on his $1 million bail to secure his release.

Well, that change moments ago. Because, the R&B singer has made payment — after three days in custody.

Thanks to powerfully positive #MuteRKelly campaign the singer, who is accused of raping several African-American children, is strapped for cash and is therefore unable to post bail.

Hoping to rescue him from the cold cell he is being held in? A group of his fans who are frantically trying to raise money for him.

From ridicule to full on condemnation, ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett has seen the general public go from an outpouring of support to an outpouring of outrage following his arrest for allegedly staging his highly publicized hate attack.

Ahead of his official trial (if it gets that far), the 36-year-old’s undoubtedly already been convicted in the “court of public opinion” – a truth his co-star, Terrence Howard, isn’t exactly fond of.  Howard, who plays Smollett’s father on the hit FOX series, recently took to Instagram to show support for the embattled actor and was met with a fiery backlash for doing so…

Steve Harvey has been labelled a sell-out and a “lowly coon” by critics who detest his suggestion that black entertainers should prioritise money over integrity when handling business.

This, a suggestion he offered the beloved actress Mo’Nique when she made her way to his successful talk show to discuss the inequality she faces as an Oscar-winning black woman in Hollywood.

Steve Harvey is such a coon it’s embarrassing

‘Bust Down Thotiana’ beauty Cardi B is the latest to come down on Jussie Smollett for the drama caused by his alleged attack.

As critics continue to weigh in on news that the ‘Empire’ actor/singer not only staged but also planned and paid the attackers to commit the assault (as we reported here), Cardi took to social media to weigh in on the hoop-la.  Expressing disappointment for the media circus surrounding the event, the Grammy-winner also tried to remain objective during her rant:

‘Until he say it out his mouth that it was fake and the shit was staged, I don’t want to completely blame him, because somebody I was talking to they said police in Chicago are racists. So they might probably try to frame him and make him look like he’s a liar. But if he’s not, than bro you fucked up, for real. Like, why would you do that?’
