Bryson Tiller has surged into popularity in the last few months, gaining a bigger fan base. Since then, R&B fans have been dying for a collab between the 23-year-old singer and The Weeknd.
Those anticipating the duet sort of got their wish granted. The Weeknd hopped on a new remix for Tiller’s Trapsoul track “Rambo.”
Earlier this week in Berlin, Germany the pair premiered the song’s live debut for a packed audience.

With the release of her upcoming album ‘Joyride’, Tinashe has been set out to travel for her Joyride World Tour.

But don’t worry Tinashe revealed, “I will be wrapping up the finishing touches on Joyride by the end of May, and will be back on the road shortly thereafter to see all of you. If you know anything about me, you know this was the last thing I would ever want to do.”
Among launching her new fashion label, covering Elle Magazine’s latest issue, and getting ready for her “Formation” World Tour–Beyoncé is in the midst of suing a Texas company by the name of Feyonce Inc.
Bey is suing the company for selling merchandise that uses the name “FEYONCÉ” and sometimes, lyrics from her music.
The “Formation” singer claims the bootlegs cause damage to her brand and the defendants have neglected her requests to stop selling their products, which include: shirts, hoodies, sweaters, and more.
The lawsuit states as follows:
“Defendants adopted Feyonce mark to call to mind Beyoncé and her famous doing. Defendants’ conduct described herein is intentional, fraudulent, malicious, willful, and wanton. Seeking to capitalize on the notoriety of ‘Single Ladies,’ with its famous lines ‘put a ring on it,’ defendants are selling merchandise bearing the ‘FEYONCÉ’ mark — a misspelling of ‘fiancé’ intended to call to mind Beyoncé and her famous song. Some of defendants’ merchandise even beat the lyrics ‘put a ring on it’ further solidifying the connection between Beyoncé and the unauthorized products.”
90’s super star Brandy has been in the music game for decades now. Fans have been waiting for new music, what’s been going on? Well, it isn’t Brandy who’s hesitant about the release of an album.
According to the Fader and EW, Brandy’s recording contract with Chameleon Entertainment is preventing her from releasing any new music. She’s currently waiting for her contract to be dissolved and for a judge to rule it as void. We wish you luck Brandy! We’re waiting on new music.
With the announcement of Beyonce’s new athletic wear line “Ivy Park” on Thursday, fans are excited to have the chance to rock some Bey fashion. This announcement has only heighted all of her fans to be on high-alert as they continue to anticipate the release of her new music. In typical Bey fashion, the artist has yet to release any information. Right now there is speculation that she may drop an album tomorrow April 1st.
Clothing line Lululemon, went to Twitter to accuse Bey of copying their style.
“They do say imitation is the best form of flattery. Maybe Beyonce is so Crazy In Love with our brand, she made her own,” read the tweet that’s been deleted. Fans fired back and the company ended up apologizing.
@OhhhHaiOlivia We’re not throwing punches. Everyone needs a little healthy competition.
Well either way, there’s a good chance she might be dropping that album because as most know, she loves the number four. April, month four. Maybe fans will be blessed with an new album or maybe Beyonce will play an April fools joke on us and make the world wait longer. Fingers are definitely crossed!
300 Entertainment’s Lyor Cohen went to his Snapchat account to reveal some juicy information about new music from Travis Scott and Young Thug.

“I was in the studio yesterday with Travis Scott—he has an album that is going to be a classic… Thug and Travis are gonna finish up Travis’s first single that we’re gonna put pout in the next few days. Yeah, you heard that.”
Can we also expect another collab with Kanye West in Travis’s upcoming album? Or perhaps someone we don’t expect like in his previous album, Rodeo, with Toro y Moi? A collab with Kid Cudi would be the cherry on top to the album. A release date hasn’t been specified.

“Creating this school is a dream come true for me. I want to impact the lives of young people in my community, and build future leaders. The first step is offering access to a quality education, he said. Every young person should have the tools they need to succeed. All our children should be able to pursue their dreams. That is something I can impact with this school.”
The school is already accepting applications, and will begin with enrolling students from grades 6-7, before expanding to grades 6th through 12th.
