Popular gossip blogger Funky Dineva is no stranger to ruffling feathers on the FOX SOUL talk show ‘Tea G-I-F‘ with his provocative commentary on everything from politics to social issues, entertainment, and more.

Yet, it’s consistently the latter that lands the social media star (born Quentin Latham) in the hot seat – namely with the fan bases of the superstar he’s weighing in on.

Years after being slammed by Beyonce supporters (affectionately called the #Beyhive) for labeling the diva’s daughter Blue Ivy as “ugly,” he’s wielding the same criticism to another Parkwood darling – Chloe Bailey.

See what he said inside that has the ‘Have Mercy‘ hitmaker’s fans showing no mercy on Twitter.

In 2021, Dua Lipa watched her ‘Future Nostalgia‘ hit ‘Levitating‘ live up to its namesake on the Hot 100 when it soared into Billboard history books for becoming the longest-running top 10 hit ever by a female artist.

And while that unprecedented chart triumph got its fair share of laud from fans and admirers alike, there have been a few who have withheld applause – namely those who have attempted to take the GRAMMY winner to court on allegations of copyright infringement.

Just two months after learning the second case of that ilk was dismissed by a U.S. District Judge, another multimillion-dollar claim against the Stephen Kozmeniuk and Stuart Price-produced bop has arisen.

It’s only been four years since Latto burst onto the scene with her major-label debut single, ‘B*tch from Da Souf,’ but in that short time she’s already amassed enough accolades to be considered a frontrunner among modern female rappers.

Having recently seen her name inked alongside Rap’s leading ladies in Netflix’s ode to ‘Women In Hip-Hop,’ the femcee (born Alyssa Stephens) continued her toast to the genre’s 50th anniversary by teaming with legendary rapper Rakim and Sprite Limelight.

Weeks after introducing their updated take on his 1992 classic ‘Don’t Sweat the Technique,’ Rakim and Latto reteamed for the remix’s official music video.

“Tell me when they made it cool to be a hater? / Every year, I’m goin’ bigger, doin’ greater / Got ’em dissing for a spot, I keep it player / Putting on for my city, playing County to Decatur,” she spits on the tune’s revamp.

If you’re looking for a Tinashe fix, the Urban Pop stageblazer has just what it takes to meet your needs.

Coming less than a month after she thrilled fans with ‘Talk to Me Nice,’ the first single from her forthcoming album ‘BB/ANG3L,’ the August 18-released ‘Needs‘ serves as a tasty and equally thrilling successor.

“For BB/ANG3L I was very inspired by the concept of identity,” T said about the follow-up to 2021’s ‘333.’ “Exploring both how I self-identify and also challenging the perceptions of others. I believe how we identify in this world is ultimately our own personal choice; and I’ve enjoyed stripping back layers of aesthetic fluff, smoke & mirrors, and white noise to get down to the core of myself. Who we are at a core level, when we are alone – raw & unfiltered, is what I want this album to reflect.”

Her latest offering under GRAMMY Award-winning producer Ricky Reed’s record label, Nice Life Recording Company, hop inside to get familiar with ‘Needs.’

‘Turning Point’ hitmaker Mario has reached just that in his 21-year career thanks to a new record deal between his imprint, New Citizen, and Epic Records.

Having spent most of the last decade distributing his music independently, the move to Epic marks an epic milestone for the 36-year-old as it’s not only his return to the Sony Music umbrella but also his first major-label deal since 2013.

Promising to use the new partnership to “bring R&B back” (as revealed in a statement announcing the venture), the first fruit of the union comes courtesy of a revamp of his 2022-released single ‘Main One‘ (which originally featured embattled emcee Tory Lanez).

“I know you wanna be the main one / I got a whole list of names on the way / I ain’t f-ckin’ with the same one / Ooh, I love when you drop it down low / But you’re still high maintenance,” he croons on the cut that now features Hip-Hop superstars Tyga and Lil Wayne.

Said to be the first taste of new music set to line the ‘Listening’ follow-up LP due later this year, the tune notably arrives as his first release at new label home Mercury Records.

Accompanied by a futuristic music video, hop inside to get acquainted with ‘Love Like This.’
