PARTYNEXTDOOR’s new album will be titled “PARTYMOBILE.” We’ve been waiting patiently for the next PARTYNEXTDOOR album (for years might I add…) and finally, the month has come. January 2020. Late last year, the OVO Sound artist announced that he would be releasing his new studio album to start off the fresh decade and, now that we’re in the final week of January, his fans were anticipating a surprise drop on Friday. Unfortunately, that won’t be the case (unless PND is playing us) because he just announced it has been pushed back. There’s some good news attached though. Christopher Polk/Getty...

While we wait to see if that will actually happen...

Unresolved issues. Back in 2009, the New Boyz—Ben J and Legacy—were the talk of the industry. Their debut album Skinny Jeans and a Mic featured their hit single “You’re a Jerk,” and soon everyone was jerkin’ across the globe. The duo later collaborated with the likes of Chris Brown, Ray J, Teairra Mari, Dev, Hot Chelle Rae, and YG, but they couldn’t seem to work through their personal disagreements behind the scenes. Their star was on the rise, but soon, the New Boyz were no more. Years after their departure from the spotlight, Ben J recently sat down with VladTV to discuss highlights...
He pulled a post-and-delete. Two women talking at an event became social media buzz. Roc Nation hosted its annual pre-Grammy Award brunch on Sunday (January 26), and while there was much chatter about who showed up to the exclusive party, somehow a brief exchange between Rihanna and Love & Hip Hop New York star Chrissy Lampkin stole attention. A clip of the two ladies appeared to show Rihanna telling Chrissy that she doesn’t “f*ck” with something, or someone, as they smile and whisper into each other’s ears. For some reason, people began sharing the clip by the thousands, insinuating that Rihanna...
