Latto may not have struck the Billboard gold her fans were expecting with her latest single, ‘Lottery,’ but that hasn’t stopped the GRAMMY nominee from rolling the dice on its follow-up ‘Put It On Da Floor.’

Given an unofficial premiere at Coachella last month, the tune’s recorded version dropped shortly and garnered quite the polarizing buzz when some of its lyrics were perceived as disses to fellow rapstress Coi Leray.

“Sh-t around my neck, it cost a arm and leg,” she rapped before adding later, “Smoking on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray / B-tches like to run their mouths but I’m the type to run the fade.”

With that short-lived drama behind her, Big Latto moved forward with the unveiling of the Go Grizzly-produced cut’s official music video.

Much like fellow powerhouse divas Mariah Carey, Sade, Anita Baker, Celine Dion, Patti LaBelle, and Dionne Warwick, Queen of Funk Chaka Khan is used to being royally snubbed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame despite being one of the most influential female artists of her genre.

Having burst onto the scene in the early 70’s as part of the Funk group Rufus, Khan’s five-decade career boasts 10 GRAMMY wins, over 70 million records sold, and several R&B classics to her name like ‘Sweet Thing,’ ‘Through the Fire,’ ‘I Feel For You,’ and more.

Nevertheless, inclusion in the coveted Rock Hall has been elusive for the diva since she first became eligible as part of Rufus in the late 90s and later in the early 2000s as a solo act.

7 nominations later (four in the group and three solo), the institution has finally granted the ‘Tell Me Something Good’ singer some good news thanks to the announcement of its 2023 class. Details inside.

‘Un-Break My Heart’ has taken on a new meaning for R&B icon Toni Braxton over the years.

The 7-time GRAMMY winner, who has been open about her battles with lupus, microvascular angina, and other health concerns, made headlines in late April when she took to ‘The Today Show’ to reveal she recently had to have a coronary stent placed to prevent a possibly fatal heart attack.

“It (was) put in at a really, really scary moment,” the 55-year-old told the morning talk show, adding that the experience felt “surreal.”

Later on ‘Sherri‘ (May 1), Braxton elaborated on the cardiac episode with surprising details.

“I had a little scare about six months ago,” an emotional Toni started. “Having lupus affects a lot of your vital organs. It’s starting to affect my kidneys. It can affect any organ in your body, but this time it’s affecting my heart,” she revealed before detailing her coronary artery was 80% blocked and having to undergo surgery to avoid a massive heart attack.

A paid spokesperson for Aurinia Pharmaceuticals’ ‘Get Uncomfortable’ campaign (which encourages routine kidney testing for people living with lupus nephritis), look inside to hear more about Toni’s health journey.
