Sweet love was the last thing Anita Baker was doling out Tuesday (June 6) when she took to Twitter to set the record straight about her alleged beef with current tourmate Babyface.

The Queen of Quiet Storm caused a royal frenzy among her fans when she responded to critics who called her out about reported primadonna behavior during the ongoing ‘Songstress Tour,’ which allegedly includes blocking the legendary singer-producer from opening for her at the jaunt’s Newark stop at the top of May.

Despite both acts taking to press to clear up the confusion, Baker’s still been on the receiving end of harsh criticism from concertgoers who say she is routinely late to shows and more.

Tired of the hoopla, the 65-year-old hit back at some of the detractors head on. Look inside to see what she said.

Coi Leray may still be enjoying the Hot 100 top 40 run of ‘Players’ (her biggest single to date) long after the tune’s commercial peak, but that hasn’t stopped her from looking to capitalize on that momentum with a follow up.

On April 27, the rising rapstress dropped two tracks – ‘My Body’ and ‘Bops.’ A month later, she’s lifted the lid on the official music video fro the latter.

A braggadocious track, the Trendsetter Studios-directed clip brings Leray’s lyrics to life as she sings the praises of her own career successes so far.

“I pull up, the show stops (uh) / They eyein’ like cyclops (what else?) / And these b-tches mad, they blame it on TikTok (vroom) / And these b-tches mad I got all of these big bops, hold on,” she spits on the Johnny Goldstein-produced cut.

The latest taste of new music set to line her self-titled sophomore album (due June 23), hop inside to peep the ‘Bops’ video.
