Earlier this week Chris Martin of Coldplay announced that Beyonce would appear on his new album ‘A Head Full of Dreams.’
Turns out Bey appears on more than one song and her fans will be surprised at her new sound.
Chris Martin tells London’s Magic Radio:
“She sings on two tracks, yeah. Three, really. But she is just wonderful, as you know, and she was so sweet, and I said, ‘Is there any chance you would come and help us do some, you know, backing vocals?’ That’s how it started, ‘cause we were trying to keep it a secret, but she just sounds so great that I think we faded it up in the mix a bit.”
“And then on one song, ’Hymn For The Weekend,’ I said, ‘Could this be a bit more of a duet?” and we just — she was just so lovely to watch sing. She’s so good, it’s insane.”
“When she’s on the microphone in the studio, you can just tell that this is a person that can choose any color from the palette and do it perfectly, musically. She sounds a bit different, and she was very kind of humble. She didn’t really want, she didn’t ask for anything or say ‘I need my own bit here.’ She was so lovely.”

The beef between rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross goes back for years and last night 50 Cent re-heated the beef. It all started when 50 made a joke body shaming Rick Ross, Rick responded.
Things just kind of spiraled out of control from there.
Then Ross took it to the next level involving 50’s son and that’s when ish got real with 50 up in Ross’ comment section making thinly veiled threats.

K. Michelle sat down with celebrity blogger B. Scott and opened up about her famous curves, revealing she regrets enlarging her rear end.
Check out some snippets:
K. Michelle says her large butt gets her “typecasted” in a negative way: “I have like movies and different things [I’m working on], and I was having a real conversation with Tyrese — we’re really like great friends. I was telling him about my butt, how I hate being typecasted because my bottom is so heavy — not saying I don’t love myself, but…you know.”
On why she regrets the surgery and how it affects her business dealings: “For me, I want my normal shape back . For me, and my career right now, and me doing business — like really being on the frontline in business — I don’t need to have a man looking down at my ass when I’m trying to talk numbers. I don’t need to not be able to get the role. Like, I wanna be in Jurassic Park! Let me be in Jurassic Park! I don’t need to not be able to run through Jurassic Park because my ass is too heavy. Before the dinosaurs come to eat me, I need to be able to go!”
Big butts dont work well with designer dresses: “I can’t wear designer clothes. It’s always a problem when it comes to designers and like when they have to get stuff to fit my body. That’s one thing, I’ve always had a big butt. You can ask anyone in college.”
On why she got butt enhancement surgery in the first place: “I just wanted it. I wanted that shape. That’s the shape that I wanted. I wanted to look like that. I think the older you get you get tired of having to hop into your jeans!”
Her advice to other women who are considering surgery: “I would say if you have the coins to put it in, have the coins to take it out. That’s really what I would [say]. No, really — because it might be a phase! I would tell [other girls], don’t go and do what you see people doing. But, if that’s what you want to do — if that’s the body you want — go get the body you want! Nothing is wrong with it. But, if you won’t want it anymore — you just don’t want it anymore!
August Alsina sat down with ‘The Breakfast Club’ where he spoke about his child hood, family drama including his strained relationship with his mother and suicide. He is dropping his highly anticipated album “This Thing Called Life” on December 11th.
Check out some snippets and take a look at the interview below:
On his female cousin popping off on him in a text and accusing him of killing his brother:
“I posted that to put other people on game to see how it is out here. That’s not a he that’s a SHE. Everybody feel like I should do this and do that for them and they are just angry. I can’t do nothing about that. The people that’s suppose to be here for you, I don’t have that aspect in my life. It’s ROUGH when your own people can talk to you like that.”
On his cousin saying she was going to expose him:
“All that sh*t about exposing me or whatever. It’s nothing you can tell the world about me because they already know. I live my truth so that you can’t use that sh*t against me. This fame sh*t has my family going a whole different f*cked up direction. What they don’t understand, ain’t no coming from that sh*t. The same person texted me back after that message like ‘Oh, we family, we not suppose to hold grudges against each other. And I still love you.’ Man, f*ck you b*tch. I can’t f*ck with you.”
On not having family:
“To be honest, I don’t have no family. I’m my family. It’s just me. I have my brother, but he figuring his life out. I got my nieces, that’s my family.”
On his strained relationship with his mom:
“My mom is a queen for one reason, she gave me life and she raised me. I can never take that away from my mom. We all have issues.”
“My mom is my mom. I don’t expect people to really understand the situation with my mom and her kids. Sometimes we go years, months without talking to her. I applaud my mom for doing all that she has done for us as a parent, but I think that sometimes the mother side gets pushed to the side. I just imagine me having a kid and my kid being an artist and in a song my child sings ‘I try to buy my mama love she don’t appreciate me.’ My reaction isn’t to go online to explain myself to the world. My reaction is…let me see what’s wrong with my child because I’m the parent and you’re the child. I feel like a regular person to my mom, not her son.”
On having suicidal thoughts:
“I have thoughts about that sh*t. I just remember being super, overly depressed. Not knowing how to deal with the sh*t. Not having a mother to talk to, my father is dead. I don’t have anyone out here to teach me sh*t. I’m doing all this on my own. I went through so many surgeries, my mama didn’t even check on a n*gga. I’m damn near dead and losing my vision and you don’t check on your kid? It teached me when I have a child is when I’ll have a family. That’s why I put “Song Cry” out. This is my truth. People can take that as depressing or looking for attention, but I’m just giving you my reality. Everybody else is out here living this fantasy world.”
On if he still feels like he wants to kill himself:
“[Pause] Hmm..I don’t know man. I’m just kind of all over the place. I’m not just out here moping and depressed. We alive. We breathing.”
On talking to Chris Brown about getting therapy:
“I was talking to Chris about it one time. I sat down and did that [therapy] before, it’s just not my thing. I’m not into it. I help myself over time. It just take me a longer time to go through it and figure it out.”
On groping a woman’s breast on stage in Baton Rouge:
“It was the part where I call a lady on stage. To be honest, when I saw the video I didn’t even know, I had no idea that was even happening. I grabbed her titty. She had this sequin dress on and I couldn’t even feel. I talked to her because that’s what media do…make you out to be a monster. She was actually more upset for me because she was a real fan. Don’t try to corrupt my fans. Do I look like a n*gga who pressed to grab a titty? That moment was very innocent.”
On always being sick:
“I’m just a sickly man and I just have to accept that sh*t. I’m good. I been taking care of myself better than before. Not only that, I’m in a better place spiritually and mentally. The last surgery I had was on my sinuses. I basically couldn’t breathe out one side of my nose, so they had to break it.”
“I feel nothing. I don’t feel anything. It’s just whatever with me at this point. I done been through so much sh*t I just have to play the cards how they come.”
On if he was sickly before getting into the industry:
“The industry just amplified it. The industry put my sickness on steroids.”
On doing drugs:
“Let me be clear, I don’t do coke. I don’t snort cocaine.”
On This Thing Called Life album trailer:
“At the end of the day I think that’s when we do the most of our thinking. That’s when my mind races the most. I just wanted to put that reality on wax because I think a lot of people hide from that sh*t. A lot of people are just living a lie and want to make it look good to the world. I’m teaching myself everything!”
