When on the air, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ was both a ratings smash and a cultural phenomenon.

In the years since its initial run, the Tyra Banks-helmed series has been scrutinized – almost on a monthly basis – through a contemporary lens.

The less than endorsing claims have been plentiful and have included accounts from contestants on the long-running show.

One person that isn’t here for the critique, though, is season 3 winner Eva Marcille. 

Since triumphing on the 2004 installment of the UPN series, she went on to enjoy a multi-dimensional career in the limelight – racking up modeling, acting, TV, and hosting gigs.

And she’s not feeling the derogatory claims about ANTM from others who haven’t demonstrated the same work ethic.

A dream come true for many-a-female Rap fan, DreamDoll, Kash Doll, and Rubi Rose have joined forces to turn up and turn out the viral TikTok tune, ‘Throw It Back (ABOW).’

Undoubtedly a twerktastic affair, ‘ABOW’ – which first gained notoriety courtesy of rising rapper ShantiiP – has become somewhat of a female anthem thanks to its response across social media outlets.

“He told me throw it back / ABOW (YOP, ABOW) / So I sit this motherf*cker on his lap / ABOW (YOP, YOP, YOP) / Boy come and make this a** fat (YOP, YOP) / And no we can’t talk if you ain’t spending racks (YOP, YOP, YOP, Racks) / And yes I’m Ms. Nasty from the back / (YOP, ABOW),” raps Shantii on the blazing track.

Serving girl power to the umpteenth power, look inside for your first listen to the revamped ‘ABOW.’

Post Malone‘s new album ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’ may be shining as the top contender for the top of next week’s Billboard 200, but the figures expected to accompany the LP’s journey there are modest to say the least (compared to its predecessors).

In a bid to change the tide, Posty – after delivering visuals for the set’s housed tunes ‘Cooped Up’ and ‘One Right Now’ – is giving yet another gem from the project the video treatment, ‘Insane.’

Living up to its title, the clip sees the shirtless 26-year-old show off his wacky personality poolside while breaking into some seriously goofy dance moves.
