Dolly Babe‘s breakthrough hit single ‘Pink Blush‘ may still be enjoying an impressive run as her inaugural print on the Billboard Hot 100, but the Texas-bred rapstress is far from resting on the laurels of that chart triumph.

Capitalizing on the momentum of that viral tune, Dolly’s unleashed its official follow-up: ‘Hittin.’

“B-tch, we hittin’, we hittin’, we hittin’ (F-ck that n–ga) / Uh, lately I been feeling myself, I’m at peace (Woo) / Bougie b-tch, sippin’ ouzo when I’m out in Greece (Bougie) / I don’t beef with b-tches, get ’em gone like Ted Bundy (Done) / Get her friend too since that b-tch think it’s funny (What the f-ck?),” she raps over Mautz Beats production.

Borrowing elements of its predecessor’s catchy formula for success, ‘Hittin’ could be just what the doctor ordered to keep Dolly’s name in the conversation of the year’s breakout Hip-Hop acts.

From where many-a-critic stood, KeKe Palmer was the undoubted winner of the 2026 Halloween celebrity costume showdown when she not only donned Janet Jackson‘s costume from Michael Jackson‘s 1995 ‘Scream‘ music video but she also recreated the history-making visual with her 3-year-old son Leodis.

The now-viral reimagining has garnered over 1 million likes and 13,000 comments, many of which came from fellow celebs and Jackson enthusiasts alike.

No commendation ranked higher than Janet’s herself, however, as the Pop Queen took to Instagram to share the short clip and reveal she “loved it.”

Look inside to see how Palmer responded when she got the news.

KeKe, already on a high from capturing the third EMMY of her career, recently chatted it up with our friends at EXTRA about what Janet’s Halloween recognition meant to her.

“Janet reposting it almost sent me into a tailspin. I’m like ‘not my girl Janet,'” she exclaimed (as seen in the video above).

As if that wasn’t enough, the actress-singer gave Jackson another nod for the difficulty of those iconic dance moves found in the ‘Scream’ video.

“Can I just tell you that at 33-years-old, the legs aren’t what they used to be. When I tell you the next day I could barely move trying to do that damn move that Janet did [in ‘Scream’]? She ain’t no joke! That’s some serious stuff,” Palmer shared.

That’s not all she said.

Kanye West is making history again – this time in Houston, Texas.

Full story below.

The rapper/mogul reportedly attracted approximately 80,000 fans to his Halloween (October 31) concert at Houston’s Reliant Stadium, setting a new record for the highest-attended Rap concert ever at a U.S. stadium.

A nearly three-hour spectacle  that delivered plenty of memorable moments including a career-spanning setlist of classics like ‘Gold Digger,’ ‘Stronger,’ ‘Jesus Walks‘ and ‘Runaway‘ alongside new material from his latest album, ‘Bully,’ the performance also featured surprise appearances from Playboi Carti and West’s daughter, North West.

The star-studded occasion also attracted Drake and Travis Scott, who were spotted watching from the audience.

To celebrate the history-making moment in Texas, State Representative Ron Reynolds presented Ye with a state proclamation recognizing his contributions to music and culture, along with a Global Icon Award.

The former honor is akin to the controversial recognition Chris Brown recently received in the same state.

Ye’s presentation also included receiving a commemorative Texas flag that had been flown over the Texas State Capitol.

The 49-year-old is expected to keep the momentum going with two more shows, including a November 7 date in the Dallas area and a November 21 performance in Phoenix.

Kelly Rowland is among the superstars weighing in on speculation she will be joining JAY-Z as a special guest for his highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime show next year.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the recent Airbnb.org Gala in Hollywood, Rowland was quizzed on the chance Destiny’s Child would reunite during Jay’s upcoming performance at Super Bowl LXI.

Although she didn’t give the most definitive answer, the GRAMMY-winning R&B diva kept any potential plans firmly under wraps.

Offering a playful response, she said:

“That’s none of my business. That’s his performance. That’s none of my business.”

Her comments arrive just days after she reunited with former bandmates Beyonce and Michelle Williams at Jay-Z’s 30th anniversary concert at SoFi Stadium in late October.

Reflecting on that star-studded occasion, Rowland revealed that the trio came together to support their longtime friend, sharing:

“We were there our big brother, Bey’s there for her man.”

Rowland wasn’t the only big name in music recently quizzed about potential inclusion in Jay’s Super Bowl set, however.

While hot on the promo trail for his October 23-released album ‘Muse,’ singer John Legend chatted it up with Fadam Got Da Juice to dish on if he’s been asked to participate in the historic moment.

“[JAY] has not [called me about the Super Bowl]. I’m managed by Roc Nation, full disclosure, so I’m part of the family,” John said laughing before calling the rapper “the GOAT.” “I’ve been part of multiple albums of his, multiple songs of his, and I’m honored I get to rock with him.”

And while there’s still seemingly a chance Legend will get to contribute his award-winning vocals to the big moment, he’s not exactly waiting by the phone.

“I wouldn’t be mad if he said ‘I’m not bringing no guest out,'” John explained.

Jay-Z is set to headline the 2027 halftime show on February 14 at SoFi Stadium in California.

Janet Jackson is set to feature in a new tell-all documentary about Justin Timberlake.

The Pop icons share a complicated history, most notably surrounding their infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Now, more than two decades later, their story is poised to receive renewed attention as Timberlake prepares to lift the lid on his life in a four-part docuseries for Apple TV.

Full story below…

According to Variety, Jackson will feature in the forthcoming tell-all.

The extent of her involvement has not yet been independently confirmed.

The announcement brings fresh focus to the pair’s much-discussed Super Bowl performance, during which Timberlake exposed Jackson’s breast after removing part of her costume.

While Timberlake’s career continued to flourish, Jackson faced significant professional repercussions.

The superstar later confirmed that she had been blacklisted following the incident.

Timberlake publicly apologized to Jackson in 2021.

However, the five-time GRAMMY winner subsequently made clear that she harbored no ill feelings towards him.

Speaking in her self-titled 2022 documentary, she explained:

“Justin and I are very good friends, and we will always be very good friends. We spoke just a few days ago, and he and I have moved on, and it is time for everyone else to do the same.”

Jackson notably explored the incident and its aftermath on her own terms in that documentary, which That Grape Juice covered extensively in an exclusive feature.

With Timberlake now preparing to share his perspective, Jackson’s inclusion adds an intriguing dimension to the forthcoming series.

Pastor Jamal Bryant has unleashed a scathing swipe at Nicki Minaj over her increasingly public support of President Donald Trump.

The outspoken New Birth Missionary Baptist Church leader took aim at the Rap superstar, invoking the racially charged “Aunt Jemima” caricature in his criticism.

And the cutting comparison adds another chapter to the controversy surrounding Minaj’s political pivot.

Full story below…

Bryant’s remarks come as the 43-year-old continues to deepen her ties with the Trump administration.

Indeed, Minaj recently joined the President at an October 25 rally in Michigan, where she reaffirmed her allegiance and declared that she would support him again should he seek another term.

The gathering also saw Trump publicly compliment the rapper’s physique.

Just days later, Minaj became embroiled in a heated exchange with New York Governor Kathy Hochul over her political views.

Bryant, meanwhile, has long been vocal in his criticism of Trump and those supporting his policies.

His use of “Aunt Jemima,” a caricature rooted in racist stereotypes of Black women, makes his latest criticism particularly pointed.

For her part, the ‘Super Bass’ performer has previously insisted that criticism only strengthens her support for the President.

As of writing, Minaj has not issued a verified public response specifically addressing Bryant’s latest remarks.

Kodak Black suffered an alarming onstage collapse during a Halloween concert in Tampa, Florida.

The rapper was performing at the ‘Nightmare on Channelside’ event when he suddenly fell to the stage floor in front of concertgoers.

Footage of the incident has since surfaced online, showing those nearby rushing to his assistance.

Full story below…

The incident unfolded during Kodak’s October 31 appearance at the Benchmark International Arena.

The 29-year-old was among a stacked lineup that included Meek Mill, DaBaby, and Kevin Gates.

However, his performance took an unexpected turn when he appeared to lose his footing and collapsed.

Watch the footage below.

Damn, what REALLY happened? https://t.co/Z3xhrjiExD

— HZN RAP (@hznrap__) November 2, 2026

In the circulating footage, members of his team can be seen gathering around him before he eventually got back to his feet.

The incident reportedly brought his set to an early end.

As of writing, neither Kodak nor his reps have publicly explained what caused the collapse. His current condition has also not been formally addressed.

The concerning moment comes after an eventful year for the Florida native.

In September, the ‘Super Gremlin’ rapper secured a major legal victory when prosecutors declined to pursue a felony drug trafficking case against him.

For now, the circumstances surrounding his Halloween performance remain unclear.

Mariah Carey has officially declared Christmas open, and she’s wasting no time sprinkling a little festive glitter on the season!

Fresh from her annual “It’s Time!” declaration, the diva supreme is adding luxury to the holiday mix by starring in a dazzling new campaign for Gucci.

Indeed, the Queen of Christmas is serving up a glamorous helping of festive cheer in the fashion giant’s latest ‘Gucci Gift’ commercial.

Full story below…

Unwrapped today (November 2), the campaign sees Mimi lending her unmistakable star power to the luxury house’s seasonal celebrations.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Harmony Korine, the visual pairs the songbird with the timeless sounds of her global smash ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You.’

Naturally, the result is a marriage of two festive fixtures: Mariah’s holiday reign and Gucci’s signature glamour.

Check out the commercial:

The campaign forms part of the brand’s annual ‘Gucci Gift’ initiative, which spotlights its luxury gifting collections for the Christmas season.

And the partnership is especially fitting given Mimi’s longstanding love affair with the fashion house. Indeed, per Gucci, the superstar has regularly sported the brand, including during her famous winter outings in Aspen.

For Carey, the unveiling adds another sparkle to an already glittering few days.

On October 30, the five-octave wonder released the 25th anniversary edition of her beloved album ‘Glitter’.

The expanded set features 15 bonus tracks, including rare recordings, unreleased gems, and fresh remixes. The fan-favorite project has also returned to vinyl for the first time since its original release.

Yet, with the Halloween decorations barely packed away, attention has firmly shifted to Carey’s annual Christmas conquest.

And there’s plenty more to unwrap.

As reported, Mimi is preparing to bring her blockbuster ‘Mariah Carey’s Christmastime Tour’ to the UK and Europe.

The festive extravaganza kicks off in Birmingham on November 27 before heading to London’s O2 Arena on November 30 and Manchester’s Co-op Live on December 2.

It marks the legend’s first dedicated UK Christmas tour in nine years.

Between the Gucci glamour, the ‘Glitter’ celebrations, and her forthcoming festive shows, it’s safe to say Mariah season is in full swing.
