It was a great Christmas celebration at VH1’s “Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night” with historic divas, Mariah Carey, Chaka Khan, and Patti LaBelle in the mix along with newcomers Teyana Taylor, Bebe Rexha, Serayah and JoJo.

Taylor performed her rendition of Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” draped in an all-white, shiny onesie and red leather corset.

The celebration marked the first after a four-year hiatus of the event and was hosted at Brooklyn’s King’s Theatre.

“VH1 Divas Holiday: Unsilent Night,” aired tonight with appearances from Mariah Carey, Teyanna Taylor, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Vanessa Williams, JoJo, Bebe Rexha, and others performing classic Christmas songs.

Watch Teyana’s performance of “Santa Baby” below.

Kid Cudi – “Can’t Look In My Eyes” (Unreleased) Feat. Kanye West [AUDIO]

kid-cudi-kanye-west-yeezy-s3

Kid Cudi and Kanye West may not be on speaking terms, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have an unreleased new collaboration.

The leaked single “Can’t Look In My Eyes” seems to be an earlier version of Cudi’s “Too Bad I Have to Destroy You Now.”

Kanye doesn’t appear to be on Cudder’s forthcoming album ‘Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, so naturally you can come to the conclusion this song may be a couple years old.

Last month Cudi called out Ye and Drake on Twitter for marginalizing him and claiming they don’t “give a fuck about me.”

Hopefully the two can patch things up and give us some new music soon. In the meantime listen to “Can’t Look In My Eyes” below.

Kanye West Shares “The Saint Pablo” Tour Dates

pablo

Kanye West dropped the tour dates for his “The Saint Pablo” tour which will kick off in August. Earlier this year Ye teased the possibility of a tour coming.

Kanye West shows are super high energy and if you’ve never experienced one you should definitely make an attempt to snag some up. Tickets went on sale for American Express holders this morning and will go on sale for TIDAL subscribers Thursday at 10 a.m. The general public will be able to buy tickets beginning Saturday morning. Here’s a little of what to expect.

It’ll also be interesting to see who Kanye will be taking on the road with him. One name I’m more than certain will be on the tour is G.O.O.D. Music’s Desiigner after the uber success of his single “Panda” and his signing to the label.

Check all the tour dates out below:

BEYONCE’S LEMONADE GOES PLATINUM

When Beyonce dropped ‘Lemonade’ earlier this year fans everywhere were in a frenzy as the album dropped via an HBO special. The album was officially given a platinum certification earlier this week.

The platinum plaque is the sixth for Beyonce, whom originally released the album exclusively on TIDAL.

‘Lemonade’ encompasses hits “Formation,” “Freedom” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “6 Inch” featuring The Weeknd.

Big ups to Bey on the accomplishment.

FUTURE EARNS FIRST PLATINUM PLAQUE

Beyonce wasn’t the only one to grab a platinum plaque this week, Future snagged up his first platinum certification as well for ‘Dirty Sprite 2.’

Although DS2 got a platinum certification, Future still has never had a platinum which is strange when you consider some of the hits he’s put out.

Bigs ups to Future and the whole FreeBandz team on the accomplishment.

 

BIG SEAN ALBUM COMING

Big Sean announced this week that he will be releasing his follow up album to ‘Dark Sky Paradise’ in a few weeks.

‘Dark Sky Paradise’ was a tremendous success for Sean, who came out and said that his upcoming album is his “best work so far.”

Sean Don also teased the upcoming album earlier this year via Twitter.

Hopefully we see very soon. Sooner than later.

FRENCH MONTANA ALBUM AND DRAKE COLLAB COMING

A few weeks ago a video of French and Drake surfaced on Instagram. The collaboration apparently is a single that will be featured on Frenchie’s upcoming ‘Mac N Cheese 4.’

The expected release for the album is August 19th but you can pre-order it on iTunes HERE.

The album will have 14 tracks and features from Kanye West, Drake, Kodak Black and more to be announced.

Watch the video for “Lockjaw” featuring Kodak Black off ‘Mac N Cheese 4’ below.

DJ KHALED SHOOTS STAR-STUDDED VIDEO

DJ Khaled has been teasing a song with Jay-Z and Future on his SnapChat for a few weeks now.

Well, the single has yet to be released, but apparently the video was already shot with a lot of familiar faces in it.

Can you name everyone in the pic? Hopefully the song drops on Khaled’s next ‘We The Best’ radio show on Apple Music.
