‘We Found Love’ producer Calvin Harris may have seen global success with the hit song with its performer Rihanna, but now seems to have developed a hatred of their Roc Nation label mate Rita Ora.

For, weeks after the singer faced unproven claims that she cheated on the producer with ‘I Would’ singer Justin Bieber, she has now learned that he has blocked her from performing the #1 single he penned for her while they were together.

The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards received a major boost yesterday when it was announced that Beyonce would be receiving the night’s top honor – the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award – and performing.

For many, confirmation of the latter is most exciting due to King B’s position as one of modern music’s most prolific performers.

What’s more, given the scant promotion for her surprise album, the news brings with it the titillating reality a major televised showcase from the star is just two weeks away (August 24th). Indeed, if the showing from Justin Timberlake (who received the honor last year) is anything to go by, Bey could very well be prepping a 15-minute-plus blockbuster.

So, naturally, it begs the question: what should she perform?

For an artist of her caliber (who is still commercially on-top), there are so many considerations. Should it be a career retrospective? Or should she focus squarely on her self-titled set? Should there be guests or a strictly solo affair?

Winning.

Say what you may about Iggy Azalea, but that’s exactly what the femcee is doing. Winning.

After a steady grind, the Australian-bred rapper found global success with breakout smash ‘Fancy’ and looks set to replicate with follow-up ‘Black Widow (ft. Rita Ora)’.

Beyond the charts, the 23-year-old has also become a magnet for endorsement deals, festivals, and more recently touring agents; a fact which has evoked cheers from some corners and critique from others.

Whatever folk’s stance, it’s clear her star is on the rise – especially after an intriguing new article from Billboard on her meteoric ascent and plans for the future.

The piece potently sews together quotes from Azalea’s label, Def Jam, touring agents, and branding consultants about the roadmap for her career this year. A map, sources close to her camp say is set to lead the performer to a $5 Million pay day by the end of 2014.
