Two fans of rapper Kanye West were asked to perform a miracle on themselves yesterday evening, when the performer ordered them to get up and dance at his most recent show in Melbourne, Australia.

What miracles have anything to do with this? They were in wheelchairs.

It’s finally here!  The Queen Bee of Rap Lil’ Kim is back and ready to reclaim her throne with ‘Hardcore 2:  The Mixtape.’

Teasing fans with drops like that of her newly risen Jadakiss-assisted single ‘Real Slick,’ the highly anticipated mix tape comes as the rap potentate’s first full body of work since 2011’s ‘Black Friday.’  Originally scheduled to drop tonight at 9:11 pm, the demand for the digital album was so great that it temporarily shutdown Kim’s site – sending fans into an uproar over the extended wait.

Now that the wait is over, did she deliver a critical masterpiece worthy of being pegged the sequel to her classic 1996 debut ‘Hardcore?’

Take your first listen to ‘Hardcore 2’ and tell us below:

Drama.

It’s an undoubtedly a constant in the life of the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ cast – both on and off screen.

Case in point, Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks.

Nida, who was sentenced to eight years in prison for money laundering and fraud, was due to turn himself in to begin his stint today. However, according to TMZ, things took an ultra dramatic turn.

New wig, new album?

Rihanna has been noticeably quiet of late, which is hardly surprising given the wealth of competition on the charts at present.

However, it appears Ms. Fenty is readying a return to the spotlight if her new shoot for Tush magazine is anything to go by.

Surprisingly clothed, the model played up her strongest attribute by striking many a fierce pose in the tribal-themed feature.

The look, which is somewhat consistent with her edgy editorial lensed for W Magazine recently, has many speculating about the direction of her upcoming eighth album – which fans have tentatively tagged ‘#R8’.

Realistically, we doubt ol’RiRi even knows herself. After all, it’s not as if she has much of a hand in the musical side of her career.

We just hope she comes on her vocal game proper. Because neither the Candyman or Freddy Krueger were a patch on the horror that was her voice during  The Monster Tour last month.

Anyway…peep more pics below…

Swedish photographer Camilla Akrans is to thank for Katy Perry‘s spread in October’s Harper’s Bazaar, capturing the ‘Teenage Dreamer’ for snaps that accompany a tell-all interview.

What she discussed? Her relationship woes, on which she shared:

What I’ve learned is that if you don’t have the foundation of self-love first, you really have nowhere to pull love from to give it away. I had to learn about taking care of myself before I could take care of others.

Usher may have brought a screeching halt to the release of his new album, but that hasn’t stopped his hustle. Likely because most pre-release promo is booked in months in advance, but we digress…

The R&B superstar appears a-front of Fault Magazine‘s newest issue, posing for a striking cover and inside shot too.

Mr Raymond also opened up to the mag about his new music, upcoming Sugar Ray Leonard movie, and more.

K. Michelle is a busy belle these days.

Having recently concluded a one-season stint on ‘Love & Hip-Hop New York’ after finding fame on the Atlanta series, the songbird garnered praise aplenty last month for turning her debut album ‘Rebellious Soul’ into a televised musical for VH1.

And with a new LP on the horizon, the singer looks set to have quite the promotional vehicle in the form of her upcoming new reality show ‘K. Michelle: My Life’ – which begins airing in November.

So, with Q4 upon us, what better time than the present to unwrap the project’s leading single?

K clearly concurs because today saw her reveal the title of the track, ‘Love ‘Em All’, and a preview of it too.

Take a listen below…

Usher is pumping the breaks.

The R&B crooner had been set to release his new album, his first since 2012’s ‘Looking 4 Myself’, this year. However, in a new interview with Billboard, the Grammy winner has confirmed that the set “isn’t scheduled anymore”. A very creative way, clearly, of saying that the LP has been pushed back.

Nick Jonas may have bagged a critically acclaimed hit with ‘Jealous’, but it would seem the Disney-sensation turned Miguel-inspired maestro is anything but satisfied with the cut’s success so far.

For, as to ensure the new era of his career does far more than launch the aforementioned single, Jonas took to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to promote the self-titled body of work!

There, he revealed that the project will feature the ‘Dirty Gold‘ rapper Angel Haze!

His announcement below!
