Miley Cyrus earned praise and critque in equal measure when she traded her traditional pop rooting for a faux-edgy take on Urban.

Indeed, out went the girl next door and in came the grills, Mike-Will collaborations, and cringey attempts at twerking. Case in point…

Well, after a period of reflection (brought on perhaps by the lukewarm response to her 2015 “mixtape” ‘Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz’), Cyrus is re-branding.

She poses it up in a number of demure shots for Billboard Magazine, who she opened up to about her new direction.

Stripping things back, she appears to have ditched the plethora of Urban super-producers found on ‘Bangerz’ and ‘Petz.’ Instead, she’s written most of her as yet untitled new album herself, with producer-writer Oren Yoel.

Billboard describes the sound as acoustic, folky, and rootsy with occasional lean towards epic Pop.

The masses will get a taste of new Miley when her single ‘Malibu’ lands next week (May 11th).

************

We’re all for the change. It was necessary.

Her antics were becoming a farce and the level of cultural appropriation was unavoidably offensive.

She has an interesting voice, so hopefully this go round she pairs it with content that doesn’t feel like it was ripped from ‘Hip-Hop 101 For Beginners.’

New video alert!

Sailing away from her feud with Nicki Minaj with her eyes on a summer smash is Remy Ma!

Who she’s teamed up with now? A$AP Ferg, who welcomes her to his cut ‘East Coast‘!

And it’s 0-1, now, run it up
Got my face beat, hair done it up
I go bad on ‘em, drop bags on ’em
Got a tab, bitch; tell ’em run it up
I spaz on ’em, I gun ’em up
Said I’m too smart, gotta dumb it up
Dead in the middle of Little Italy
They ain’t know Remy really could just Pun it up
On IG, you thumb it up
But in real life, you bum it up
You don’t own nothin’, you so frontin’
You Joe Budden, you pump it up
See, these hoes be luckin’ up
Try to be down, they suckin’ up
I go nuts, I mean pecan
Turn the beat on and I **** it up
The bar’s low, I brung it up
And y’all hoes just stunk it up
I been one, you been done
You been shoulda just hung it up
You was hatin’ when I was comin’ up
You fake bitch, you need to woman up
You a wack bitch, you a rat bitch
And I’m that bitch, just to sum it up

Aaron Hernandez murdered Odin Lloyd because he discovered that the athlete was gay.

For thousands of sporting fans across the globe the position above has found itself at the forefront of their worlds following Hernandez’ suicide last week and now, as they seek answers, news has surfaced which claims to support it.

Before his death, Hernandez penned three suicide notes.

One of them, according to reports, was sent to a man named Kyle Kennedy.

Aaron’s legal camp denied this allegation (and the rumours of a romance between the friends that came attached to it) but now find themselves forced to put out a fire ignited by Kennedy’s attorneys.

My client is obviously saddened by the loss of his friend, Aaron Hernandez.A letter was left to my client but neither I, nor my client, have seen the letter. We will be requesting that the letter be turned over to my client as soon as possible.

Now, with hopes of concealing the content of the letter, Aaron’s team have now attempted to block an order made by a judge which would see all three letters delivered to their respective recipients.

Problematic, as Kennedy would then be free to release his, and confirm (or deny) that it was romantic.

Hernandez’s lawyer Jose Baez had this to say about it:

Rumours of letters to a gay lover, in or out of prison, are false.These are malicious leaks used to tarnish somebody who is dead.

The iconic athlete Mike Tyson and the rising chart force that is Migos have teamed up with GQ to create an epic treat for their respective fans.

As part of the publication’s May 2017 issue, the group visited Tyson’s grand home for a conversation which saw them discuss their bourgeoning stardom, their issues with Sean Kingston and much much more.

Watch below…

I ain’t get the opportunity to get coached into being a star. I came straight into this ****. The whole ‘Versace’ ****, I wasn’t in the video. I missed out on all that. I came home as a star. I had a lot of money. I was wilding, I was being young, I was just living and experiencing life, though. So I ain’t got no regrets. You got to grow up and mature when you see you’ve got something going for real.

Fantastic.

Migos’ new album ‘Culture’ debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and has spawned the hit single ‘Bad and Boujee’ which recently crossed sales of 600,000 units in the same market.

In a developing story, it has been announced that actor and comedian Charlie Murphy has died at the age of 57.

According to his manager, the eldest brother of Eddie Murphy was suffering from Leukaemia and passed this morning in hospital where he was undergoing chemotherapy.

Though renown for his connection to his superstar sibling, Charlie enjoyed much success of his own – as a popular stand-up act and also with roles on ‘The Chapelle Show,’ ‘The Boondocks’ and ‘Are We There Yet.’

He also co-wrote some of his brother’s movies such as ‘Norbit’ and recently toured with Cedric the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley Eddie Griffin, and George Lopez on ‘The Comedy Get Down.’

Murphy is survived by three children, two of which were with his wife Tisha – who died in 2009 after battling cervical cancer.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Murphy family.

Christina Aguilera fans are hungry for new music, not Oreos. And they’re making it oh so clear.

As reported, Xtina has been tapped by the cookie company to front a series of commercials.

Yet, when she took to Twitter to plug the latest – the replies were less than endorsing from her fanbase.

@xtina Christina: I should release new music, it’s been 5 years

Christina to Christina: No, tease them & eat Oreos instead. pic.twitter.com/nr9rX2lg37

@xtina WE WANT MUSIC, NOT OREOS!!

@xtina At this point, It’s disgusting how disrespectful you are to us.

@xtina LITERALLY WHERE DO U FIND THE NERVE???

— Ronan (@strippedcarey) April 6, 2017

@xtina Girl, you’ve been dead ass ignoring your fans for years now and a lot of us are sick of it. It is just plain disrespectful.

— ❁A (@aguileraarmy) April 6, 2017

@xtina WOULD YOU JUST TELL US “HEY I QUIT SINGING A LONG TIME AGO. I WON’T BE RELEASING ANYTHING”? WE WOULD FUCKING APPRECIATE IT pic.twitter.com/H21gmYVQr0

*******************

Scathing.

Given Xtina’s countless promises of new music and general lack of communication with fans, it’s little surprise that they are riled up.

Her last album ‘Lotus’ dropped five years ago and despite birthing the bop of life (‘Your Body’) was a colossal flop. Hence, she simply does not have the luxury of behaving like she has been.

Yes, greatness takes time. So on and so forth. But…no.

That said, the very fact they are angry oddly has its benefits  because it means there’s still folk out there that care. Indifference is the ultimate career death knell.

Fingers crossed Christina comes through sooner rather than later. If not, there may be a riot. Ki.

Did you miss B-Rocka rocking the pages of Fashion Bomb Daily?

If you did, allow us to introduce to you the slamming editorial spread featuring the Grammy winning R&B diva. Delivered in celebration of International Womens Day, the feature show Brandy showing off her most fashion forward looks yet while dishing on strength, motherhood, and, of course, new music.

Speaking of the latter, the singer told FBD:

“The music is definitely happening. I have been fighting for freedom for a while as an artist. That why it’s taken me so long. I’m very very excited for my new songs. These are songs that are a raw truth about a particular phase in my life that I just had to confront. This is going to be some of the best work I’ve ever done. Because I know who I am.

Yes! And, while we salivate at the thought of what she’ll be serving up (hopefully soon), get into her amazing photo shoot with FBD inside:
