The last we’ve heard about Jeremih was the wild incident of him and his entourage causing $700.00 in damage at Fuddruckers. Besides that, his hit single “Don’t Tell Em” has his fans asking for more music. Apparently there has been reason for the delay on his album and the lack of promotion for the single ‘Don’t Tell Em.’ In an interview with Billboard, Jeremih opens up about the delay of his album. The artist exclaimed:”I blame myself… I had a video scheduled. I just didn’t show up to it because of…” he stopped mid sentence, “I’m not going to point my finger at somebody else at this point.” “I stopped caring about being Jeremih over the last few months,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know I have a 2-year-old son. His mom wasn’t allowing me to see him, and it was messing with me. I was internally unbalanced. But I just got out of that trial and I won.” Not only was the artist having issue with his Baby Momma, the record label was also giving him the run around with releasing this album. “[Def Jam] is hesitating and not being on my side,” he said. “I see other artists and how they’re supported. It’s hard when I’m on a roster with Rihanna, Rick Ross and Kanye West.” Hopefully we can get an album from Jeremih sooner than later!
Rihanna has been dropping little hints here and there that she has a new album in the works. However, Dj Skee confirmed that we can indeed look forward to some new RiRi on the way!

She then dropped some more hints during the release of her new fragrance line. “I can’t give you any hints of when it will drop,” she said. “It’s going to be great, that’s all I’m going to tell you and I’m excited about it.” Check out what DJ Skee had to say below. Are you excited for some new RiRi in your speakers?!
In a recent interview with Idolator, the R&B songstress K. Michelle revealed that the title of one the standout songs off of the album will be “Drake Will Love Me.” When Michelle was asked what inspired the bizarre song and title, Michelle said: “The song is about how girls see a photo of Drake or a video and think ‘he would love me if we met.’” Michelle says that Drake has actually heard the track, and that he gave it his seal of approval.
