Big Sean lives up to his name in more ways than one, or so fans thought after getting a peek at a leaked explicit photo that appeared to land on the rapper’s social media.

Much like fellow emcee Nelly before him (as we reported here), Sean (born Sean Anderson) allegedly exposed himself accidentally via a pic that surfaced on the Web and quickly went viral as a result.

In the case of the latter, the hoopla – which set fire to the Twitter Saturday night (February 26) – sent his name to trending status alongside his girlfriend’s, GRAMMY-nominated songstress Jhene Aiko.

As the heat from the hot topic rose, Anderson took to Instagram to confirm the photo was not him.

Spice is renowned for her raunch and dynamite dance moves. However, the Jamaican diva is undeniably versatile and showcases this in earnest on her new single ‘Po-Po.’

The socially conscious track, which features the star’s son Nicho and is housed on her GRAMMY-nominated album ‘Ten,’ sees the Queen of Dancehall wax candid about the justice system.

And she does so with no restraint.

When superstardom is the goal, comprises must be made. And in Normani‘s case, her quest for success in the music industry meant that she missed her prom.

But she needn’t fret. Because her friend and fellow hitmaker Megan Thee Stallion was on hand to help.

In the latest episode of the latter’s original Snapchat series, ‘Off Thee Leash,’ the femcee (who was accompanied by her dog Dior) invited her fellow Texan to the Hot Girl Ranch to put on a prom of their own.

LisaRaye McCoy stopped by The Wendy Williams Show this week for a fun-filled chit-chat.

Chopping it up with guest host Sherri Shepherd, the 54-year-old kept it candid (as always) and waxed honest about mending fences with sister Da Brat – following their much-publicized fall-out.

McCoy opened up about the emotional air-out she had with the rapper the day before her wedding to Jesseca ‘Judy’ Dupart; an encounter she revealed was captured by cameras for WE tv series ‘Brat Loves Judy.’

She also dished on her Emmy-nominated ALL BLK series ‘A House Divided,’ being an enduring sex symbol after starring in ‘The Player’s Club,’ and being ready to remarry.
