It looks like Rita Ora is finally ready to unleash her long awaited second album.

Despite nabbing hit after hit, the the singer’s LP has become somewhat of an enigma amidst label changes, legal drama, new deals, and a slew of endeavours unrelated to music.

Change seems to be around the corner, though.

Katt Williams let the flames rage during an on-air roast at the Frank & Wanda show on Atlanta’s V-103. 

In the house to promote his newest comedy special, the seasoned funnyman sunk his claws into a number of comedians including Tiffany Haddish – suggesting that her success is a fluke and that she is yet to prove herself in a substantial  manner. He also implied that her  attraction to men of the caucasian persuasion that is responsible for her “overnight success.”

The most butt-clenching moment, however, took place during an uber awkward tussle with host Wanda Smith.

Somehow a discussion about the ability to cook saw Smith take a jab at Williams’ hair and arrest record – which he paid back with an avalanche of shade.

All the action after the jump…

The world watched on a-gasp last week when it was announced that rapper Mac Miller died of an apparent drug overdose – aged just 26.

Though respected in his field, star was thrust into mass consciousness upon embarking on a romantic relationship with longtime friend Ariana Grande.

The pair went their separate ways earlier this year and the superstar songbird moved on and became engaged to comedian Pete Davidson.

Still, many have been waiting to hear what she had to say about her former lover.

After sharing an un-captioned image of Mac the day after his demise, Grande has issued an emotional statement expressing her heartache.

Eminem is no stranger to drama, indeed for much of his early career he seemed to actively court it.

However, recent years have seen Slim Shady turn down the volume on the wacky antics and skew more introspective.

For his latest effort ‘Kamikaze,’ though, the 45-year-old opted to clap back at his detractors – including younger rappers Machine Gun Kelly and Tyler The Creator.

In Kelly’s case, that duel has proven beneficial for both – Em for his lyrical lashing and MGK for his response ‘Rap Devil’ (which is currently #1 on US iTunes).

Yet, it’s Marshall’s tussle with Tyler that has received ample backlash.

As widely reported, the Odd Future star came out as bisexual last year; something Em used as ammo in his diss towards the 25-year-old.

And now, after feeling the heat of social media and think-pieces, he’s back-tracking.

Tamar Braxton is renown for her outspokenness, but this time it’s for a wholly serious cause.

The R&B star has been a firm fixture in the headlines over the last year, thanks to the implosion of her marriage to Vince Herbert and more recently due to falling out with WE tv (along with her sisters) over payment for their reality show ‘Braxton Family Values.’

Per reports, the latter – and the infighting it’s caused amongst the family – has seen the clan sit down with Iyanla Vazant for a special intervention.

However, during the taping, Tamar is seen walking out.

When discussing the moment on a soon-to-air episode of The Wendy Williams Show (during which she also confirmed that she served her ex with divorce papers), the singer shocked the audience by revealing that her exit was because the secret abuse she received at the hands of family members was brought up.

Opting to get in front of the matter, she’s issued a statement further elaborating and released a video for the song ‘Prettiest Girl’ (from her ‘Love & War’ album) to celebrate overcoming.

All awaits after the jump…
