Legendary actor Morgan Freeman has been nabbing headlines for his candor on the topic of race.
The 85-year-old, who rarely does interviews, was more than open when chatting with ‘The Sunday Times’ about concepts he doesn’t like – a chat that led him to discuss his disdain for the terms ‘African American’ and ‘Black History Month.’

Check out SWV!
Coko, LeLee, and Taj are certified R&B icons and have been receiving shine anew thanks to their hit Bravo series ‘SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B.’
Addictive in earnest, the show saw the beloved groups join forces for a co-headlined concert.
With big success and even bigger personalities in the mix, sparks flew and quickly popped off on social media too.
Now that the show is in rearview, SWV is looking forward while also ruminating on their illustrious past.
For, beyond posting it up in a striking shoot lensed by Salvatore Demaio, the trio opened up about their legacy, not getting their dues, ‘The Queens of R&B,’ and their upcoming tour with Jodeci.

Following their 2001 remake of the LaBelle classic ‘Lady Marmalade,’ GRAMMY-winning singers P!nk and Christina Aguilera went from topping charts to being #1 on each other’s sh*tlists – a feud most thought was put to rest in 2017 but was seemingly reignited in 2023 as the former promoted her latest album, February’s ‘Trustfall.‘
Despite “taking responsibility” for her seemingly unintentional role in reheating the beef, Xtina fans (affecionately called #Fighters) weren’t buying that P!nk wasn’t being intentionally shady when she referred to the ‘Fighter‘ singer as ‘not very nice’ and naming ‘Marmalade’ as one of the least favorite music videos shot over her career.
Aguilera remained mum during the height of the reignited drama, but seemingly broke her silence recently when she took to the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast.

Tori Kelly has hit a critical homerun with her latest single, ‘Missin U’ – the first taste of new music the songbird’s hatched since recently flying to new label home Epic Records.
Billed as her most R&B-leaning effort in years, the Tenroc, Jon Bellion, and The Diner-produced cut boasts elements of early 2000’s sounds – a sonic matched by the aesthetic of its time-hopping accompanying music video.
To see how the magic of the latter came to be, Kelly lifted the lid on a behind the scenes look at its creation.

For many, there’s been no escaping the fiery feud between Xscape members Tamika Scott and sister LaTocha Scott.
The deeply personal fallout between singing sisters has been central to the hit Bravo reality show ‘SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B.’
And the drama has drenched social media timelines too – as the ladies, their group members, and the public at large have weighed in the various layers of the beef.
Core to the chaos is Tamika’s televised claim that her sister and her husband (Rocky Bivens) were involved in the stealing of $30,000 worth of her royalties.
In the time since, LaTocha has hit back and labeled her sister a “liar.”
Armed with a stacked collection of “receipts,” Tamika has returned serve in a jaw-dropping video – in which she alleges that she is at the center of a blackmail attempt centered around a sex tape.
She also includes a sit-down with group member Tiny’s mom, who was one to discover the discrepancy with the royalty “missing” payments.

Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.
However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.
This week, we want to highlight cuts from Fall Out Boy, Rosalia & Rauw Alejandro, NCT Dream, and Catie Turner .

Bad Bunny has found himself in some hot water. For, he is now being sued by an ex-girlfriend over the alleged unapproved use of her voice in his songs.
Full story below…
Having already secured the first Hot 100 top 5 placement of his career with The Weeknd and 21 Savage-assisted track, ‘Creepin,’ producer extraordinaire Metro Boomin is hoping the hit song will creep to #1 with its official remix.
Calling on music mogul Diddy (born Sean Combs) to contribute his unmistakable flair to the ‘Heroes & Villains’ track, the addition comes as an apt one as ‘Creepin’ samples Mario Winans‘ 2004 signature hit ‘I Don’t Wanna Know’ (which was released on Combs’ Bad Boy label and features his vocals).
“They ain’t real and they ain’t Puff / Ain’t a place in this world that my feet ain’t touch,” the 53-year-old spits on the ‘Creepin’ revamp. “I got visions that cost millions and make billions / Baby girl, we can make love and make trillions.”

Being one of her generation’s most celebrated vocalists, Tori Kelly is no stranger to heavy demand for new music.
But with four years separating music lovers from a traditional studio album of hers, their high anticipation turned into impatience – a state the GRAMMY-winning songbird addressed cryptically in the last months of 2022 before offering a surprise announcement earlier this year about her next musical offering.
Cue ‘Missin U‘: her debut single for new label home Epic Records.
“I miss that feelin’ you would bring / I miss the way that you would make my sidekick bling and bling / I look at my fingers and think about rings / Yeah, we had a good thing,” she coons on the Jon Bellion-produced tune.
Announced March 8 (as we reported here), ‘Missin’ not only marks Tori’s long-awaited return to R&B but also signals the beginning of an edgier era as alluded to by the once-blonde diva’s dark locks.
Ahead of the arrival of its official music video Friday (March 17) at 11am, hop inside to hear ‘Missin’ in full.
