For some artists brand diversification only serves as a means to a profitable end.
For others, like say the singer Patti LaBelle, it gives them the opportunity to share more of who they are through services and products targeted at the lifestyles of fans who have already purchased their material.
Today, LaBelle’s authentic foray into food has seen her prove that magic happens when the right persons takes a risk and presents the right product to the world.

Janet Jackson has ample cause to jubilate after comeback album ‘Unbreakable’ opened atop of the Billboard 200 this week.
The good news doesn’t stop there for the singer’s supporters, because BMG (the home of Jackson’s newly launched label Rhythm Nation) have revealed that they have a long-term, multi-tier commitment to the project.

Jay Z is in quite the position.
On the one hand, he’s married to one of the industry’s most prolific stars, while on the other he’s helped create the career of her rival.
Of course, the latter refers to Rihanna – whose success (or current lack-thereof) has been the subject of much debate this year.
The campaign for her eighth studio album has been muddied and marred by under-performing singles and endless delays.
Still, in attempting to help his prized project keep up appearances, the Roc Nation mogul has offered his insight to the latest goings on in her career.
Speaking in the starlet’s latest Vanity Fair feature, Jigga muses on the her new record label, Westbury Road (which Roc will distribute), as well as Rih’s recent acquisition of her past and future master recordings. He also offers his stance on the incessant push-backs of ‘R8.’

Fierce feline Nicole Scherzinger rocked the Pop sphere as part of the Pussycat Dolls, yet her solo roars haven’t had much volume.
Indeed, despite a slew of singles since 2007, she’s yet to release an album in the US. And, though achieving a degree of success with her European LP ‘Killer Love’ in 2011, follow-up ‘Big Fat Lie’ was a truthful chart tragedy.
The poor performance of the latter is said to have caused Scherzinger to be culled from the roster at RCA UK, which in turn presented a problem for her Stateside deal with fellow Sony label Epic Records.
Now, after a notable silence, the 37-year-old is hitting back at claims she was “dropped,” yet confirms that she has a new label. Hmm.
