It looks like Drake is just getting started with ‘God’s Plan.’
The jam, which was unleashed as part of the ‘Scary Hours’ EP, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and extends its reign today for a second week.
For some artists said success would be enough, but it appears Drizzy is about to flex his promotional muscles.

An benevolent crew made up of some of the most powerful women in music have penned an open letter condemning remarks made by Neil Portnow.
[Women] who want to be musicians, engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level [need] to step up.
The Grammy chief made the comments after last week’s ceremony saw a number of its female nominees miss out on major wins.
He issued this statement after facing fire.
Sunday night, I was asked a question about the lack of female artist representation in certain categories of this year’s Grammy Awards. Regrettably, I used two words, ‘step up,’ that, when taken out of context, do not convey my beliefs and the point I was trying to make. Our industry must recognize that women who dream of careers in music face barriers that men have never faced.
Today, a group of the industry’s power players have stepped up to slam him.

Jennifer Lopez is wasting no time kicking off the promotion for her musical comeback.
The dynamite diva headlined DIRECTV‘s Super Saturday Night Pre-Super Bowl event in Minneapolis and seized the moment to perform new single ‘Us.’
Unleashed earlier this week, the Skrillex production is reportedly about Lopez’s relationship with boo Alex Rodriguez.
She brought the track to life with an explosive production, comprised of dancers, high-octane choreography, and vivacious vigour.
Watch J.Lo get down to her latest jam after the jump…
As we reported here, nearly as week after the 60th annual Grammy Awards aired the show is still very much a hot topic. Initially, viewer complaints harped primarily on the lack of diversity among winners, specifically a poor celebration of nominees that were female and/or people of color. However, once the Grammy president – Neil Portnow – weighed in on the backlash with some interestingly worded remarks the fallout shifted to him directly.
Taking to press, Portnow indicated women needed to ‘step up’ in order to see more inclusion – a statement most believe insinuated he thinks their contributions were less worthy of recognition than their male counterparts. Sending shockwaves throughout the industry, female artists like P!nk, India Arie, Katy Perry, and Vanessa Carlton immediately sprung to action, with the latter even promoting a petition which aims to see him relieved of his leadership position in the Recording Academy.
As if that’s not enough, female executives – including some of Portnow’s own cohorts – are calling for similar action. Details inside:
Justin Timberlake‘s “back to my roots” album ‘Man Of The Woods’ seems set for a big first week bow – thanks to his media machine and the colossal Super Bowl platform.
However, response to the music housed on the LP has been far from endorsing.
Early signs suggested as much based on the lukewarm response to much of the pre-release singles serviced in the weeks preceding.
Yet, it’s the critics reviews that have perhaps been most scathing.
See what we mean after the jump…
For much of last month, Tamar Braxton has laid low in the wake of her messy split and seeming reconciliation with estranged husband Vince Herbert.
However, it’s her hair that’s all sorts of laid on the newest cover of Upscale Magazine.
Ms. She, Me, Her rocks a petite pixie cut a-front of the February 2018 issue of the publication.
Within its pages, the R&B belle talks the pursuit of happiness and facing her own reality – which, needless to say, has been more wild than any show she’s been on.
In any case, the issue is on-stands now and available for download. Head below for another shot and a behind the scenes look at her shoot.
Bruno Mars‘ ’24k Magic‘ may be gearing up to erect another leg!
Potentially joining him on the road? Cardi B!
August Alsina made a triumphant return to London at a packed-to-capacity indigO2 show presented by Musicalize.
It’s been two years since the R&B star hit the capital. And while for most acts said window represents a standard bridge between projects, his was the result of a much more serious reality. For, the New Orleans native has publicly battled a number of life threatening health challenges.
However, there was no let-up in his dynamite dexterity on stage.
Donning a suave red suit (of which little was left by the night’s end), the 25-year-old commanded the crowd with spell-binding precision. And it didn’t require a plethora of production bells and whistles.
Effectively comprised of a mic, a DJ, and two Duracell-powered dancers (who delivered all evening), Alsina’s set placed the focus on his most prized assets: his catalogue and the vehicle that powers it – his voice.
Oft underrated as a vocalist, the singer gifted himself and fans many a moment showcasing the length and breadth of his impressive range. Indeed, performances of jams such as ‘Make It Home,’ ‘I Luv This,’ and ‘Downtown’ were punctuated with adlibs, runs, and outright belts that were evocative of a time when singers really…sang. Ah, the nostalgia.
Naturally, Alsina did indulge the obligatory “R&B pin-up” schtick. Case in point, a topless wipe-down to rapturous applause. But most praise-worthy is his holistic improvement as a performer.
Confident and comfortable, the star organically locked in (and out) of synchronised choreography with his dancers and worked all corners of the stage. He gave a…show; which is a marked improvement from earlier outings.
Despite a spell out of the spotlight, Alsina continues to prove himself to be a compelling artist. One with ample live gravitas. And with new music en route, he clearly has a talent and fanbase that’ll serve him well.
$761 million.
That is how much the black hair industry was worth in 2017.
So, keen to cash in, large retailers like Walmart now they sell the products that keep the industry afloat.
Alas, something has gone terribly wrong.

Despite attending to support her husband Jay-Z, Beyonce dominated headlines over the Grammy weekend by stepping out in ‘Black Panther’ inspired style for several events.
Shortly after, Kim Kardashian uploaded a semi-nude snap online.
What one has to do with the other? Talk that Kim is making a habit of trying to steal Beyonce’s press thunder.
Remember when Beyoncé announced her pregnancy and immediately afterwards, Kim Kardashian announced her twin puppies. Then Beyoncé posted her first pics of the twins and Kim immediately announced she was having another baby. Now this shit with the braids. The bitch is pathetic.

Is it a mere coincidence or is it just me? It seems every time Beyonce & her family are all over the media Kim Kardashian has to whip her tits & ass out.
