It’s that time of year again.

Hailed as one of the most important days on the Pop music calendar, all eyes are on who is up for coveted honors at the show’s 38th instalment. Especially with MTV soldiering on with gender-neutral categories.

Kendrick Lamar, Jack Harlow, and Lil Nas X lead with a whopping 7 nominations each, while Doja Cat and Harry Styles follow with six apiece. Also scoring major looks are the likes of Adele, Megan Thee Stallion, and more. But what about the rest of the list?

The promo trail is seeing quite its fair share of Lizzo as the ‘About Damn Time’ hitmaker is blazing a path in support of her sophomore major label release ‘Special.’

Already forecasted to land in the top 10 of next week’s Billboard 200 (as we reported here), Liz is putting in work to push the set to even higher heights on the tally.

In addition to rocking live TV performances, radio interviews, and more, the GRAMMY winner’s also gracing the pages of a number of print outlets – most recently making headlines for a stunning spread in ‘ELLE UK.’

When not shining in the mag’s feature article with talk about body positivity and her impact on the music industry, the singer-songwriter was filmed behind the scenes talking about breaking beauty records and more on the ‘ELLE UK’ video segment ‘Ask Me Anything.’

Look inside to see her surprising response to being quizzed about a fantasy remake of the iconic 2001 rendition of the timeless classic ‘Lady Marmalade.’

SZA fans have been salivating for her new song ‘Shirt’ ever since the singer teased the track on social media last year.

And the anticipation has only grown as time has passed.

Tonight (July 9) at London’s Wireless Festival 2022 in Finsbury Park, SZA poured fuel on the flames of excitement by confirming that her ‘Kiss Me More’ collaborator Doja Cat has been enlisted as a feature on the final version of the song.

Watch the moment the news was announced below…

This week may have seen Doja Cat‘s ‘Planet Her’ hit single ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’ get into the top 40 for the first time (marking the 12th visit of her career to the chart territory), but she may be well on her way to nabbing her 13th if the ongoing success of ‘Vegas’ is any indication.

The tune, which serves as the lead single from the forthcoming soundtrack of the eponymous Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann, was released at the top of May and has already clawed its way to a #56 peak on the Hot 100 (as of time reported). Buoyed by a thick interpolation of Presley’s hit ‘Hound Dog’ (which was originally performed by Big Mama Thornton in 1952), ‘Vegas’ was further brought to notoriety with a sizzling music video that was released at the top of June.

Now, after helping push the song to its current Hot 100 height, Doja is hoping to send it even higher by inviting viewers into a behind the scenes look at the Child-directed action of the clip.  See it inside.

Doja Cat entered the 64th annual GRAMMY Awards tied with R&B songstress H.E.R. for title of the night’s most-nominated female act.

Yet, that industry recognition still isn’t enough to keep the rapstress from hanging up her mic – if an explosive rant on Twitter recently is anything to judge by.

While walking the event’s red carpet Sunday night (April 3), Doja addressed the rumors she’d soon be pressing the STOP button on her whirlwind career while also giving a huge shout out to her idol, Nicki Minaj, as well as rising femcee Doechii.

Doja Cat dominated the Billboard charts in 2021 (and well into 2022) with hits found aboard her third studio album, ‘Planet Her.’

For that reason and more, it’s only fitting the Rap diva was bestowed the PowerHouse Award at the 2022 Billboard Women in Music event Wednesday night (March 2).

Presented the honor by fellow stage blazer Normani, Cat not only made headlines for delivering an impassioned acceptance speech and stunning performance of her song ‘Alone,’ but also for sending her fans – affectionately called #Kittens – into a frenzy with reports she may be gearing up to share studio time with the former Fifth Harmony star.

COVID-19 continues to ravage the entertainment industry.

Case in point, Doja Cat is once again forced to cancel an appearance due to the virus.

More details below…

Doja Cat may already be clawing toward the release of the music video for her next ‘Planet Her’ single ‘Get Into It (Yuh),’  but her faithful fans (affectionately called #Kittens) shouldn’t think that means she’s abandoned promo for its predecessor, ‘Woman.’

Released just last month, the Child-directed clip – which stars Teyana Taylor and is inspired by Michael Jackson‘s classic ‘Remember the Time’ visual – may have come as the fourth cut to get the video treatment from ‘Planet’ but it landed as one of Doja’s most critically acclaimed ever.

In a bid to get that critical acclaim to be reflected commercially as ‘Woman’ boasts the lowest peak among all the set’s singles to date (#52 on the Hot 100), Cat and team are unveiling a peek at the behind the scenes action of the clip’s creation.

See how it all unfolded inside:

Doja Cat is continuing to invite the masses to ‘Planet Her.’

Arriving on the heels of the whimsical ‘Woman’ visual, the clip is touted as “coming soon.”

Prior to its landing, the intergalactic themed vid has been teased by way of a slick, cinematic trailer.
