BET should have thought twice before opening up their doors to Lil Kim again.

For, after turning a blind eye to a jab she poked at them last summer, today saw the network invite the Queen Bee on their ‘106&Park,‘ to promote her new single and discuss the 15th anniversary of Biggie Smalls‘ death.

However, in what has dampened in what should have been a ‘picture perfect’ promo stint, Kim has hit out at the show’s host, Rocsi Diaz– labeling her ‘disrespectful’.

Another day, another Rihanna criticism.

Indeed, just days after Annie Lennox suggested the model wasn’t doing enough to speak out against domestic violence, today saw Brit Pop Royal Will Young weigh in on her and oft polarizing cause.

Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige graced the ‘Idol’ stage moments ago with her regal talent, lending a live rendition of the Rick Ross-assisted cut ‘Why’.  Lifted from her latest album ‘My Life 2’, Blige guested tonight and last night’s Whitney Houston/Stevie Wonder themed episode of the hit reality talent show, coaching the superstar hopefuls in their performances of ‘I Will Always Love You’, ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’, ‘Superstition’, and more.

After imparting advice last night, the R&B vet took to the stage tonight to show ’em how it’s done.  Get into the action below:

Lana Del Rey is by far the most polarizing artist to debut within the last ten years. After receiving bad press/reviews for ‘Born To Die’ and its subsequent live performances the 25-year-old threatened to never record another song again.

Now after the LP’s breakaway chart success and cult-like appeal, Del Rey is singing a much different tune–she’s punching back at the critics who claim she’s nothing more than a manufactured act with no artistic credibility.

Wherever The Game goes controversy and mayhem are soon to follow, just check his track record. This time is no different as he’s been called to the carpet for allegedly spitting on a female fan at a concert event in Australia.

As reported earlier, the West Coast rapper got into a heated exchange between himself and other party goers which resulted in his saliva being flung across the room in their direction. Receipts? It was all caught on tape.

Commencing ‘damage control’ The Game has issued an official statement explaining the situation in which he claims his actions were justified. We cannot make this up folks.

R&B belle Ashanti seems to be playing Santa today; for after revealing the title and tentative tracklist for her sixth studio album,  ‘Braveheart’, the singer has followed with its official cover.

Between the braid and blue lipstick, it seems Ms. Douglas really channelled the LP’s title. No shade.

That said, we’re rooting for former INC star. Sadly stepping up her game when the majority turned their attention to the Beyonce‘s and Rihanna‘s of the world, she’s had an increasing uphill battle as of late; something I’m not sure her independent “situation” with Written Entertainment alleviates. I mean, for yours truly, there are some acts who are better suited to a major label situation – Ashanti being one of them.

Indeed, unlike many an unsigned act, Ja Rule‘s one-time comrade has enjoyed the dizzy heights of fame and has a talent that – if backed properly – could go toe to toe with the major label divas. However, now in a predicament which sees her trying to triangulate the financing, A&R, and promotion for her project alone, things are looking messy at best. Current single ‘The Woman You Love’ is doing all of nothing on the charts and  prospects aren’t looking great. That said, all it takes is that one hit. Here’s hoping ‘Braveheart’ is packing the heat when it hits stores on April 17th.

Fantasia and R.Kelly were both scheduled to perform at the Blake Hotel to a sold out crowd of r&b lovers, however, things didn’t quite go as planned.

Whether she likes it or not, Lil Kim‘s ‘feud’ with fellow Rapper Nicki Minaj has tarnished her public image in ways her fans can’t even begin to imagine.

For, before launching an attack on the ‘pink lady’ back in 2010, many regarded Kim as Hip Hop royalty- revered and respected for her contributions to her genre.

Today- in the eyes of many- she’s a jealous has-been, unable to move on from being rejected by Minaj’s label, Young Money.

Now, serial hit maker/Reality TV royal Kandi Burruss has weighed in on the situation, on Andy Cohen‘s ‘Watch What Happens Live‘.
