Famed FOX commentator, Bill O’Reilly, is no stranger to controversy as his quips and comments have landed him atop many-a-headline over his career.  However, his most recent jab at Congresswoman Maxine Waters (known well for her anti-President Donald Trump statements), has landed him in some serious hot water.  So much so, some viewers found it to be ‘racist’ and demanded his resignation.

Trey Songz’ 7th album, ‘Tremaine’ (released March 24th), zoomed to #2 on iTunes top 100 albums chart within hours of its release.  Granted, some of the set’s highlights like ‘Animal,’ ‘Song Goes Off,’ and ‘Nobody Else But You’ deserve some credit for their role in assisting, but the feat is undoubtedly due in greater part to his aggressive promo schedule.

Before Trey Songz could even wrap official promotion on his sixth official era, 2014’s ‘Trigga,’ fans had already begun calling for its official follow-up.  In February 2015, the Grammy-nominated crooner whet appetites by not only announcing the album’s title, ‘Tremaine,’ but also promising its content would be a venture away from his standard fare of raunch into more romantic subject matter.

Well, it appears the ‘Heart Attack’ hitmaker has had a change of heart since then. For, upon its unique unveiling via a parodic VH1 reality dating show – ‘Tremaine the Playboy’ – the album’s weekly single releases have been nothing but typical Trey:  bleating about boning bad b-tches, bottles in the club, and neighing over trap beats.

With drama between herself and former friends (and co-stars) as well as headlines alleging domestic violence and a pending divorce, Grammy-nominated songstress Tamar Braxton has seen her last year worth of headlines plagued with more personal issues than professional development.
