Two weeks ago, ‘Take Care’ Rapper Drake found himself in the centre of controversy, following a nasty brawl with ‘Fortune’ star Chris Brown at New York’s W.i.P club.

Billed as the fight’s ‘fire starter’ following reports he started the altercation, Drake has kept mum on the matter despite remarks made by Brown by way of Twitter.

Now, quadruple Platinum MC Nicki Minaj has spoken openly of the drama during an interview with Tim Westwood TV.

Her remarks below…

Her voice may be akin to that of a drowning goat’s, but when it comes to her look- very few can top the force that is Rihanna.

Stepping out of London’s ‘Corinthia’ Hotel, the ‘Man Down‘ singer looked considerably healthier than she did nights ago at Radio 1’s ‘Hackney Weekend‘, at which she performed an entire set.

On her way to shoot her fashion based Reality TV series for Sky Living, she signed autographs for members of her ‘Navy’, some of whom had waited hours outside the hotel to see her.

As fans well know, Hip Hop Soul Queen Mary J. Blige caused a royal uproar when she teamed with Burger King for the unveiling of their crispy chicken wraps.  Unwrapping what was then a very unexpected backlash, the singer immediately went into damage control – claiming the burger monarch did not portray her in the light she expected.

Now, to clear the air, ‘I’m Going Down’ diva has taken to radio queen Angie Martinez to dish on what really went down with she and the King of Whoppers.

Making her rounds in support of the new Tom Cruise-led musical ‘Rock of Ages’, get into what Mary had to say about the heat that followed that crispy commercial and more after the jump:

Despite being one of Hip Hop’s more monumental figures in the 90s, recent years have seen Foxy Brown‘s star burn out.

Opting to lead a quieter life following several run ins with the law, today will see the MC secure the attention never afforded to Rap punchline Lil Kim, whose feud with the Rapper almost cost Brown her life.

Now watch as Ms. ‘Il Na Na’ suffers a wardrobe malfunction during a rare performance. A performance, we’d say marks her lowest point yet.

Since erupting onto the scene during last year’s X Factor, multi-talented Mancunian Misha B has remained a fixture on the lips of many. A trend which looks set to continue as the 20 year old gears up to release her debut single ‘Home Run’ on July 15th.

We caught up with the budding star last week, chatting it up with her about her hotly anticipated album, working with Missy Elliott, “that” incident on the X Factor, Kelly Rowland‘s departure from the show, and a whole lot more.

As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to…and answer them Misha does.

Fans of VH1’s ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘ have a lot to look forward to this season.

Well- at least for those into ‘the drama’.

Kicking off last Monday, a preview of upcoming episodes hinted at an explosive feud between cast members Lil Scrappy and record producer Stevie J, prompting Scrappy to address the spat with MTV’s Rap Fix this week.

He explained:

Like I told him, you can walk off, you don’t gotta disrespect no female (referring to the fellow cast member/mother of his child Erica) 

If you really wanna do something, ask her where her man at and tell him you wanna throw hands, you wanna take the fade, and I would’ve been happy to do that. He didn’t even ask — he didn’t know who she was. All he knew is she was a part of the situation and he wanted to pop off.

Keyshia Cole is on her way back to music!

Yes, in what can only generate a buzz for her forthcoming LP ‘Woman To Woman‘, the belter was snapped on the set of   her latest video ‘Enough Of No Love’, the first single to come in aid of the album.

To be released before the project’s Fall release, Keyshia is reportedly set to unveil the clip before the launch of her new BET reality TV show ‘Keyshia Cole: Family First‘, also in support of the project.

With so much riding on this project, its success really could make or break her considering the unfortunate sales of its predecessor.

However, with BET on board, we can’t wait to see just what Cole serves this time around by way of sound and promo.
