History has been made today (August 26) and filmmaker Obi Emelonye is at its forefront.

For, his latest movie ‘Black Mail’ has been unleashed and breaks new ground by becoming the biggest ever release of an independently produced and distributed Black Brtish film. It’ll notably be playing in 100 cinemas across the length and breadth of the UK.

The high-octane story centers on an actor who is also a dedicated family man. Targeted by an international criminal operation, his world is rocked when his private life is used as a means of extortion.

Ahead of the film’s release, That Grape Juice caught up with Emelonye, who opened up in earnest about the film, his goals for the future, and much more.

Elton John may already one of the best-selling artists in the history of recorded music, but the 75-year-old ‘Rocket Man’ keeps proving his commercial journey still has miles to go.

After linking with Pop diva Dua Lipa to crank out one of last year’s biggest hits, ‘Cold Heart,’ John is looking to pull a redo with yet another female Pop titan:  Britney Spears.

First reported to be a rework of Elton’s 1971 classic ‘Tiny Dancer,’ the new tune – ‘Hold Me Closer’ – was overseen by GRAMMY-winning producer Andrew Watt.

Over a month after its surprise release, fans of Flo Milli are still enjoying ‘You Still Here, Ho?‘ – her debut studio album.

Having already gifted the video treatment to housed cuts ‘No Face,’ ‘PBC,’ bonus track ‘Roaring 20s,’ and more, the Alabama-born beauty keeps the supportive visuals from the LP rolling, this time bringing the song ‘Big Steppa’ to life.

Hailed by many as a beast on the beat, Flo puts a literal spin on the branding by assuming the role of Godzilla in the ‘Big’ clip – towering over the city’s skyline while spitting some fire bars and rocking designer duds.

Sevyn Streeter may be aiming for a critical and commercial slam dunk with her forthcoming single ’23’ (as we reported here), but the singer-songwriter has already scored with R&B fans thanks to her role as assistant on Dixson‘s newest cut, ‘Cherry Sorbet.’

Rife with sexual innuendoes, the tune sees the duo liken lovers to the sweet treat while trading verses about their special bedroom plans.

“Your legs, your hips, your eyes / My hands, your dirty mind / I love your cherry pie / Seconds for me tonight,” Dixson croons on the sensual track.

The first single from his September 16-due project ‘004DAISY,’ hop inside to hear ‘Cherry’ and peep its accompanying Weird Life-directed music video.

R. Kelly – already serving a 30-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and racketeering – may see his legs shaking for a number of different reasons these days, but the disgraced R&B legend has at least one victory to celebrate this week thanks to Tik Tok.

Azealia Banks and Nicki Minaj may have enjoyed a short-lived truce in 2017, but the former quickly returned to her antics – slamming the ‘Super Freaky Girl’ hitmaker for everything from her stance on vaccines to her appearance, collaborating with 6ix9ine, and so much more in the years that followed their make-up (as we’ve reported in the past).
