Diddy has climbed the mountain top of both pop culture and entrepreneurship – but that hasn’t stopped his hustle.

With well over 20 years of success to his name, the man with many names is now looking beyond personal success. He wants to make a renewed impact.

The media mogul covers the April 2018 issue of GQ and besides posing it up for a dapper shoot, he seizes the feature to delve into his plans to take “black excellence” to the next level. Plans which include developing a groundbreaking new app.

Chris Brown has a serious problem.

What it is? The polarising nature of his legacy.

For, while some commend him for maintaining his position as one of the world’s biggest stars, many cite his declining pure sales and quality of his new material as grounds for their refusal to name him one of the greats.

Worrying, as he now finds himself forced to look on as Beyonce, Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Drake elevated to heights his critics believe he will never reach.

You can tell Chris Brown writes his own music. 1. Bc it’s repetitive 2. It’s basic. He’s not living up to his potential, and he had chances to do so, but being rich since an early teen kinda hinders your growth as person. Or so I’ve heard.

Now, the critical mass has launched a scathing attack on his art after he took to Twitter to reveal that he’d like to tour with the first three artists mentioned above.

Why?

The public’s estimation of Chris’ career below…

Lmao Chris brown really has been making the same cheap ass music for years. I always felt like I was alone in that

Mathew Knowles is keen to address how the treatment of black women historically has led to their erasure (or lightening) in Pop culture.

How he’s doing it? With a new book named ‘Racism: From the Eyes of a Child’ in which he bares all on how his difficult childhood informed his view on black women and the direction he encouraged Beyonce to go in as she sought superstardom.

His latest promotional stop? ‘Good Morning Britain.’

‘Love & Hip-Hop’s Miami branch has proven to be one of the most popular instalments of the franchise.

Launched this year, the show has put a fresh spin on the format with its diverse cast and culturally relevant storylines.

One of the narratives that has engaged viewers most is the love triangle between rapper Bobby Lytes, Jeffrey, and Malik. 

To illuminate the matter as well as his rising popularity, Lytes stopped by The Breakfast Club for a super candid interview.

Chopping it up with Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee, he spoke on being a gay MC, his love life, being celibate, countering stereotypes, and much more.

Watch after the jump…

Talk about news we didn’t see coming!

A recent interview with legendary songwriter/producer Quincy Jones sees the 84-year-old in serious “IDGAF” mode, name-dropping a number of his famous past collaborators and nemeses in a tell-all sitdown with our friends at Vulture.

On hand to promote a forthcoming CBS special and Netflix deal, Jones was quizzed on his thoughts on everyone from Oprah and Donald Trump to Paul McCartney and, of course, his most famous collaborator, Michael Jackson.

Just months after winning an unpaid royalties lawsuit against the King of Pop’s estate (click here to read more), the information he shared was jaw-dropping to say the least. See highlights inside:

Stefflon Don scorched the scene with ‘Hurtin’ Me’ and is making moves to ensure the year ahead is just as blazing.

She kicked off the year pounding the pavement with a run of US promo stops; and with the all-star remix of ‘Hurtin’ Me’ picking up steam alongside the recent news that she will be joining G-Eazy on the UK leg of his tour, and staging her own, 2018 is looking to be a momentous year for the British-Jamaica starlet.

That Grape Juice caught up with the ‘16 Shots’ rapper at Spotify’s #WhoWeBe in Alexandra Palace where she reflected on newfound success, those pesky Nicki Minaj comparisons and her plans for world domination.

It’s no question Justin Timberlake will occupy the top spot on next week’s Billboard 200 with his next album, ‘Man of the Woods.’  What’s of concern to his faithful followers, however, is the report the set is on track to move his lowest first week numbers to date.

As we reported here, the set – released February 2 – was initially predicted to move 315-325,000 its first week.  However, as the projection was rendered before his show-stopping Super Bowl Halftime show, many assumed the figure would increase drastically after the highly rated showing.

That assumption, as Billboard is reporting, has proven itself false.  Details inside:

Katy Perry has always been quite outspoken on a range of topics – and it turns out that extends to the state of her career.

Well documented is the dismal dip that derailed her once-unstoppable train of success.  And, in doing away with the “pretend it never happened” approach most Pop stars opt for, Perry has revealed that she’s more than aware of her predicament following the commercial tanking of her ‘Witness’ album.

Here’s what she had to say when speaking on her current status in an interview with Glamour magazine:

Kylie Minogue is back and she’s dusting off her ‘Dancing’ shoes for her like-titled new single.

Lifted from her 13th studio album ‘Golden,’ the track sets the sonic tone for the LP – which was largely recorded in Nashville and boasts embedded Country influences.

Still, Pop is the name of Kylie’s game and she’ll be aiming to remind the masses of her status as one of the genre’s most iconic divas – after her brief tenure with Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation didn’t yield the desired results (see: 2014’s ‘Kiss Me Once’).

As she two-steps her way to the April 6th release of ‘Golden,’ check out Kylie in action below…
