Already serving a 30-year prison sentence after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking, R. Kelly is currently on trial for a separate set of federal charges of child pornography and obstruction of justice.

But as he braces himself for the potential bad news to come from that courtroom showdown, one of his alleged former sex abuse victims – Joycelyn Savage – is doubling down on her news that she went half on a baby with the disgraced R&B lgend.

On the promo trail in support of her recently released memoir, ‘Love and Joy of Robert,’ Savage dropped jaws when she admitted she’s not only engaged to Kelly but that the two are expecting a child.

He quickly shut down the report via a rep (as we reported here), but – as revealed via a recent chat with ‘Entertainment Tonight’ – Savage is adamant she’s telling the truth.

As he gears up for the release of his sophomore solo project, the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Father of 4,’ former Migos star Offset has been making his presence felt as of late as a supporting act on songs like ‘Big 14’ (with Moneybagg Yo and Trippie Redd) as well as ‘New to You’ with Calvin Harris, Tinashe, and Normani.

With new song ‘54321,’ produced by Baby Keem, the 30-year-old takes center stage again.

“Thug Life on me like I’m Tupac Shakur (Thug) / Thirty-five K for the seats on the floor (Racks) / Yes, I’m the wave, you don’t gotta shore (Hah) / Starin’ at me, but I don’t want the whore (No) / Skrrt, almost had crashed the ‘Rari (Skrrt) / Jump off the top of the rope like Jeff Hardy (Go),” he raps on the braggadocious track.

Those who thought turning 64-years-old (August 16) would slow Madonna down have another thing coming.

Controversial as ever, the Queen of Pop popped, locked, and dropped inside the pages ‘Paper’ magazine in a racy shoot – lensed by famed photographer Ricardo Gomes – that saw her tongue kissing models, licking their nipples, and so much more.

Interviewed by fellow music royal Nile Rodgers (Chic leader and mastermind behind Madge’s Diamond-selling, 1984 studio album ‘Like a Virgin’), the diva dished on her new greatest hits compilation project ‘Finally Enough Love’ and strolled down memory lane with Nile to discuss their musical history and more.

Just a day before her 30th birthday (August 20), Demi Lovato unleashes her eighth studio album:  ‘HOLY FVCK.’

Abandoning the Pop sounds that have sent her soaring to the top of Pop charts multiple times since her 2008 debut LP ‘Don’t Forget,’ Lovato is hoping her faithful fans don’t forget her first true musical love was Rock music.

Christening ‘HOLY’ as a return to form of sorts, the new project sees Demi dabble in Punk and harder Rock sounds via its lead singles ‘Substance’ and ‘Skin of My Teeth’ – both of which found homes in the top 40 of the Billboard Rock Charts.

Despite coming as her first project to hit shelves without a Hot 100-charting single to its credit, critics have already begun branding the effort her best yet.
