Ridden with jealousy, scandal, and betrayal, multi-platinum singer-songwriter and former ‘World of Dance’ judge Ne-Yo is set to show viewers the real world of dance with the season 3 return of the STARZ’s drama ‘Step Up.’

Ahead of its October 16 launch, the lid’s been lifted on the show’s high octane trailer – full of jaw-dropping moments and clues about what the future holds for the talented cast after season 2’s cliffhanger ending.

And while some expected an even worse fate for ‘Sorry’ given its limited promotion, industry analysts have wielded surprising news about the project’s commercial performance as it’s expected to premiere on charts as the best-selling new Hip-Hop project of the week!

Kanye West is no stranger to rendering controversial comments over his career, but this week’s load of explosive statements may have seen the GRAMMY winner even outdo himself.

Already embroiled in backlash for the unveiling of his Yeezy custom ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirts, the ‘Gold Digger’ star dug the hole deeper when he took to Instagram to double down on the apparel’s purpose – even slamming the Black Lives Matter movement along the way.

Thursday night (October 6), Ye reiterated his stance via an appearance on Fox News’ ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight.‘

When not raising eyebrows for his discussion about the shirts, he got people talking for his critiques of Lizzo and the body-positive movement, slamming his ‘Christian’ ex-wife Kim Kardashian, and so much more.

British vocal trio FLO have drummed up buzz on a global scale and they’re wasting no time massaging their momentum.

Songbirds Jorja, Stella, and Renee nested on stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live for what served as their first US televised performance.

With the trio’s breakthrough bop ‘Cardboard Box’ going all sorts of viral, they aptly delivered a live rendition of the melodic number.

Backed by a full band, the ladies took vocal flight with the track – which serves as the centerpiece of their introductory EP, ‘The Lead.’

This time last year UK music duo Right Said Fred was celebrating Rap superstar Drake for bringing their 90’s signature hit, ‘I’m Too Sexy,’ to a new generation via his ‘Certified Lover Boy’ #1 smash ‘Way 2 Sexy.’

That same elation wasn’t exactly extended to another one of music’s biggest names recently, however.

With Migos seemingly behind them for good, Quavo and Takeoff are looking to take off as a duo – as evidenced by the absence of Offset on the new album, ‘Only Built for Infinity Links.’

Released Friday (October 7), the 18-track set – preceded by housed tunes ‘Big Stunna,’ ‘Us vs. Them,‘ and the Gold-certified ‘Hotel Lobby’ – features Summer Walker, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Birdman, Young Thug, Gunna, and more.

And while there are quite a few numbers on the project that are getting fans talking, it seems none are doing so quite like ‘Messy,’ which is believed to contain disses to Yung Miami of the City Girls and Quavo’s ex, Saweetie.

“I said, “Caresha please” ’cause she too messy/ B***h f**k my dawg behind my back, but I ain’t stressin’/ You wanted the gang, you shoulda just said it, we would have blessed it/ Now shit got messy,” Quavo raps on the tune in seeming reference to Saweetie’s recent visit to Miami’s podcast, ‘Caresha Please.’

That’s not all he said.  Look inside to stream ‘Messy’ and its parent album courtesy of Apple Music.
