Mariah Carey Reportedly Quit Roc Nation After A Big Fight With Jay-Z (And She Has Responded To That Rumor)
If you look under the “artists section” of Roc Nation’s website, you’ll find Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Megan Thee Stallion, Van Jones (????), and crooning stream of used douche water Robin Thicke. But your eyeballs will not be hit with a wave of wet unicorn farts (read: rainbow glitter) from reading the name Mariah Carey since Mimi has been scrubbed from the site. And The Sun claims that’s because Roc Nation is now 1000% less glittery since Mariah Carey has reportedly dumped them as her management company after she and their founder, Jay-Z, got into a verbal tussle over her career. Or at least The Sun claims she busted out of there after fighting with Jay-Z about her career, but she could’ve also shit-canned Roc Nation after she strolled into the meeting to find dreadful fluorescent lighting, burnt champagne, and caviar that isn’t Petrossian Beluga. That’s reason enough!
Tina Turner Will Finally Be Inducted Into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
Tina Turner is 81 years old and has been performing professionally since she was 17. Lady is a legend. This is why my gob was officially smacked when it was announced Tina would be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. How wasn’t she in there already? They literally call her “the Queen of Rock n’ Roll”! Now, teeechnically she was inducted as one half of Ike & Tina in 1991, but having to share the honor with your abusive ex-husband isn’t the same thing. So it’s about goddamn time.
Kanye West Says He Won’t Release New Music Until Sony And Universal Release Him From His Contract
For those keeping track, Donda: With Child is still undelivered when by this point, Kanye West should already be thinking about getting on a waiting list if he wants it to get into a good preschool. But I get it, Kanye’s been very, very, very busy. Not only is he running a [insert adjective of your choice] presidential campaign, according to a slew of recent tweets, he’s also Moses, Nat Turner, and “the 2nd richest black man in America” who is tirelessly working to free his people. His “people” being exclusive to any other rich Black man in America. So you’ll have to excuse him if his album won’t be out until Sony and Universal release him from his contract and Drake apologizes to him for, I don’t know, being richer than him I guess. Folks, as usual, it’s a mess.
8-Year-Old Blue Ivy Carter Just Won An NAACP Image Award
If you needed a reminder that you are doing nothing with your life, cultural icon Blue Ivy Carter just won an NAACP Image award, adding another highlight to her resume (that also includes, in bold font, being the daughter of Jay Z and Beyonce). Well, it wasn’t an award for shadiest side-eye, or best example of public civility and manners, it was for SONGWRITING AND SINGING!
Adele And Adele’s Body Went To Oscar Parties
STOP THE PRESSES! Adele went to a fancy Oscars after-party hosted by Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary. And people had a lot to say about her skinnier body. Again.
Jay-Z Denies That He Was Making A Political Statement By Sitting During The National Anthem
Hear ye! Hear ye! Jay-Z needs to clear something up! At the Super Bowl on Sunday, Jay-Z and Beyoncé sat during Demi Lovato‘s performance of The National Anthem. Many rolled their eyes at Jay-Z’s empty gesture since he previously said that “we” were past kneeling. Well, listen up, Jay-Z and his family were in no way, shape or form protesting police brutality and making a statement about the atrocities black people face in America. They were NOT. Do not get it twisted. They were only thinking of the capitalist venture of which they were a part of. That’s it! Jay-Z spoke at Columbia University and let the world know that he only cares about the Super Bowl! Okay?!
