From defending daughter Beyonce to weighing in on hot social topics, Tina Knowles is no stranger to making headlines for her fiery opinion – a quality that’s landed her in the news cycle again.

This time, the businesswoman-actress-philanthropist has taken aim at superstore Target for being the latest in a slew of major corporations to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to avoid facing intense scrutiny from the Trump administration and its conservative supporters.

Much like Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Kendrick Lamar before her, Mary J. Blige‘s inaugural Super Bowl Halftime Show performance came as an ensemble.

With Kendrick suiting up to tackle the headlining gig by his lonesome on February 9, however, MJB has revealed she too is eyeing a chance to shine on the NFL stage solo.

Central Cee‘s debut album ‘Can’t Rush Greatness’ isn’t just heating up the streaming scene, it’s heating up beef with fellow UK rapper Aitch.

The MC mentioned the Mancunian on the track ‘5 Star’ when he rapped:

“I felt like a pr*ck when I went to the BRITs they gave the award to a guy called Aitch.”

Suffice it to say, Aitch didn’t hold back and promptly dropped a scathing diss titled ‘A Guy Called?’

On the track, he slammed Cench’s lyrical ability, branded him all style and no substance, and sent verbal missiles about his rival’s relationship with ex-girlfriend Madeline Argy.

Take a listen to the clapback:

Future bares his soul in the music video for the touching ‘Lost My Dog.’

“Lookin’ at his texts, he was battlin’ with depression/ I should’ve seen the signs as soon as I received the message, yeah,” he raps over ATL Jacob production.

The deeply personal visual sees the rapper (born Nayvadius Wilburn) reminisces over the loss of a friend who reportedly overdosed on fentanyl.

Directed by Henri Alexander Levy, the black-and-white clip is the latest tune from Future’s last Billboard 200-topping album ‘Mixtape Pluto‘ to get the video treatment.

With moviegoers and Academy voters, ‘Wicked‘ is popular indeed.

Defying gravity with a whopping 10 nominations (including Best Picture) at this year’s ceremony, the Jon M. Chu-nominated film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical is going into the 2025 Academy Awards as the most-nominated film.

What’s more, leading co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress OSCARs respectively – a feat that comes as a career-first for the GRAMMY-winning latter diva.

After promising to “raise hell” if Grande didn’t get nominated, Erivo (now a three-time nominee) rightfully praised the Pop songstress for her induction into the nominees’ club.

After revving three back-to-back top 40 hits on the Hot 100 across 2023-24 (‘Greedy,’ ‘Exes,’ and ‘It’s Ok I’m Ok’), Tate McRae missed the mark with her last single ‘2 Hands‘ which couldn’t quite get a grip on the chart region as it peaked at #41.

To make up for the single’s nonperformance, McRae – gearing up to launch her next album ‘So Close to What‘ – is giving fans another taste of what the LP is set to serve via its new single ‘Sports Car.’

“I think you know what this is / I think you wanna, uh / No, you ain’t got no Mrs.​ / Oh, but you got a sports car / We can uh-uh in it / While you drive it real far,” she sings on the Ryan Tedder-produced cut.

Accompanying the tune’s Friday (January 24) arrival with an abstract performance music video, hop inside to get acquainted with ‘Sports Car.’

Travis Scott‘s ‘4×4‘ may easily be the week’s most highly anticipated release, especially after teasing the cut aboard WWE’s ‘Raw’ and even debuting it via a life performance atop Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium at Monday’s College Football Playoffs (January 20).

Produced by Tay Keith, the bass-buoyed new cut will act as a charity single to support communities coping with the devastating effects of the Los Angeles County wildfires.

“Four-by-four, I tint my windows up, yeah (Windows up) / Damn, my bro, he did it, one-and-done (One-and–, one-and-done), yeah / Out my closet, that shit none-of-none (None-of-none), yeah / That’s a vibe, that’s a one-of-one (Vibe), yeah,” he rapped.
