Miley Cyrus has grown tired of being persona non grata in the hip-hop world.

Overnight, Cyrus became…

Nickelodeon alum-turned-rapper-turned-country singer, Miley Cyrus has taken sides in the ongoing cold war between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

And guess who the culture soldiers see coming this way? Miley Cyrus, the former Nickelodeon star who transformed into a…

After singer Miley Cyrus reached adulthood, she traded in her bubblegum pop for risque rap.

Miley Cyrus was on point when she stuck her neck out and called the mass murderers in Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, Texas, “White male terrorists.” And she even sliced off a piece of Donald Trump’s flamboyant wig when the 45th commander in chief continued to regurgitate the same old tired explanation – mental illness –…

If Miley Cyrus keeps this up, she won’t have any friends on either side of the racial divide. Cyrus had already been soundly bashed for allegedly appropriating rap and Black culture for her self-aggrandizement, but that has hardly deterred her from speaking out. Monday, the singer had the courage to say what even the president…

White culture vultures have plundered the treasure trove of Black music for decades in order to ignite their careers, undergo an image transformation or to resuscitate careers on a downward spiral.

Miley Cyrus has finally returned from her exploration of Black culture. It was an exploration that occurred three years after Cyrus, at age 17, told a reporter that she had “never heard a Jay Z song,” because she did not listen to pop music. But Cyrus was given a pass on her Jay Z slight…

Miley Cyrus has just responded to the intense blowback she got for saying she’s not as attuned to hip-hop music as she once was.

Mike Will Made It has praised Beyoncé for “empowering her people” and he is thrilled to have worked on “Formation” with her.

Rapper Iggy Azalea recently saved her basketball superstar fiancé Nick Young from getting a botched tat. She posted the picture to her Twitter of her beau at a tattoo parlor with the words “Born Reble” sketched out.

The 2016 Sundance Film Festival was a win for African American talent with Nate Parker’s interpretation of Nat Turner’s revolt leading the charge.

City, and are also known as Rock City, debuted their biographical “rockumentary” titled, What Dreams are Made Of for a packed house at the…

Whether Nicki Minaj intended to or not, she rivaled Kanye West’s jaw-dropping MTV VMA dust up with Taylor Swift this past weekend when she infamously blasted VMA host Miley Cyrus for criticizing her in a recent interview. Since then, fans have been debating about whether the shocking onstage diss from Minaj was real or faked,…

The 2015 VMAs have come and gone, but not without some of the typical fireworks often associated with MTV’s signature night. But instead of boring you with extended prose on the cultural significance of Nicki Minaj’s ability to twerk, or the virtues of Taylor Swift’s existence on Earth, it would probably be best for us to…

Miley Cyrus just couldn’t leave well enough alone last week when she criticized Nicki Minaj for comments she made months ago about MTV’s alleged racist practices when it comes to snubbing Black women with MTV VMA nominations.
