If you (like us) are still seething for missing Trinidad’s annual Carnival Festival, the sizzling outfits donned by the Queen Bee Lil Kim, Ashanti, Mya, and more will undoubtedly only add to that envy.

Taking to the streets in their traditional Carnival garb, each of the ladies reminded us that they’ve only gotten better with age.  While Ashanti took to the island nation to help Machel Montano rock the stage with their latest joint single, “The Road,” the likes of Mya, Kim, and TLC’s Chilli were on hand to film scenes for their forthcoming VH1 series, ‘Girls Crew’ (click here to read more).

As one of the U.K’s highest-selling Urban Pop acts, Jamelia has enjoyed a long and fruitful career fuelled by fans who now support her business endeavours outside of music.

Michael B. Jordan kicked off 2018 with a ‘Black Panther’ sized bang and is closing it on an equally notable level.

For, just weeks before his boxing blockbuster ‘Creed 2’ hits the big screen, he’s been named a GQ Man Of The Year.

Aptly, he’s nabbed one of four covers for the publication’s December issue and poses it up for a stylish winter-themed shoot.

It’s his accompanying interview feature, though, that best captures the actor’s journey, drive, and goals for the future.

Head below, where the 31-year-old discusses race, dating, and wanting a narrative that isn’t defined by color.

As the music landscape continues to shape-shift, so too are the talent platforms trumpeting the stars of tomorrow.

Case in point Rak-Su and their stint on The X Factor 2017.

The eclectic quad, comprised of Miles, Ashley, Jamaal, and Mustafa, found instant favor on the ITV show thanks to their original flair and self-penned tracks – many of which topped iTunes week in and week out.

Their popularity carried them to winner status, thus rendering them the second band in the show’s 15 year history to snag the title and the first to do so on the back of their own material.

Currently hard at work on their debut album (due later this year), we caught up with group members Miles and Ashley to discuss their journey so far, taster single ‘Pyro Ting,’ touring with Little Mix, and much more.

‘Orange Is The New Black’ returns to Netflix on July 27th!

Now in its sixth season, the popular prison drama will uncage new episodes after a slightly longer stint off-screen.

And upon its comeback, it’s all new everything for the ladies of Litchfield. For, as viewers of last season’s finale saw, the famed prison is no more.

After a riot gone-wrong, the inmates were removed from their dwelling and seemingly split and sent to different destinations.

While fans will have wait to see the fates of Taystee (Danielle Brookes), Piper (Taylor Schilling), and Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba), Netflix have unleashed a first look trailer that shows that there’s a heavy dose of drama incoming.
