Sexyy Red and Chief Keef have thrown fans for a loop for the past year or so, but a new interview saw her speak on their bond more honestly. Sexyy Red and Chief Keef have so much collaborative chemistry that they apparently have a joint album on the way, but fans are still wondering if there's more to it than that. Moreover, following some social media jabs back and forth with King Von's sister Kayla B, many are speculating as to whether or not the two rappers are a romantic item. Kayla and Sexyy joked about sharing the Chicago legend and, while many thought their clash was legitimate, it seems like there's a good chance it was all joking or all for show.

The Midwestern balladeer continues to impress. Tinashe has once again been having a stellar stretch in her career. In 2023, the Lexington, Kentucky native put out a handful of addicting singles, those being sexually charged "Needs" and the pulsing "Talk To Me Nice". Both went onto be promotional release for her eventual sixth album, BB/ANG3L. Easily one of her most consistent and concise records to date, it's laid the groundwork for what she's set out to do in 2024. Sure, the project was just seven cuts and 20 minutes, but sometimes, less is more. Fast forward to April 12 and Tinashe would go onto to drop her most viral single since 2014's "2 On" with "Nasty". The track has received some backlash, as most popular songs do.

YG enlists a stacked roster for the third "JUST RE'D UP". YG has been in quite the mix-up over the past couple of days. Reportedly, a neighbor called the police as they were worried about loud noises coming from inside his and his girlfriend (?) Saweetie's home. When authorities arrived, they quickly separated the two after an intense shouting match that thankfully didn't involve any hands being thrown. Since then, fans are skeptical on how their relationship will move forward. However, YG doesn't seem all that bothered after shutting down rumors and dropping his new album, JUST RE'D UP 3.

The Dallas native is back with his first release of the year with the hope for a project coming soon. Yella Beezy is ironically back with a new single featuring Lil Wayne called "Hit". We say ironically because late last month, the Dallas, Texas rapper was accused of assault by four men after a Chris Brown tour stop in Fort Worth. They claim they were invited to a VIP experience and that the R&B singer ordered his entourage, as well as Yella Beezy, to settle things physically over old beef. As it stands, it seems that the lawsuit still has the possibility of going through, as there have been no further updates since the 26th. In terms of much these two artists are being sued for, it's a healthy $50 million.

USHER made a lot of fans upset, but they may want to walk back their frustrations. USHER had fans in an uproar yesterday over his surprise postponement of the inaugural show for his Past Present Future tour. He did so just hours before he was supposed to hit the stage in Atlanta, Georgia. The R&B superstar sent a few painful paragraphs to explain the reason for this. "For my 30-plus year career, 100% of my blood, sweat and tears has gone into putting on the best performance and creating a memorable experience for my fans. I have every intention of doing that for this tour as well. Which is why I have to postpone tonight’s show and reschedule it for a later date to give my body a second to rest and heal".

Sean Don and Uncle Al are back. Big Sean has been one of the biggest leak victims this year, especially since it has affected the release of his upcoming album. Better Me Than You was slated to hit DSPs last Friday, August 9. Now, we should be receiving the new body work hopefully by the end of the month. If not then, we could also be looking at an early September date as well. The Detroit MC has been handling all of this very well given the circumstances, which you have to commend him for. He revealed he's in the process of planning some shows immediately after the album drops, so he's really trying to give fans a lot during this album rollout. In the meantime, though, Big Sean is tiding fans over with "Together Forever", which brings the single total to four.
