There seems to be a new musical endeavor in the works for singer, songwriter, and actress Halle Bailey as she was captured in a picture amongst R&B legends such as Johntá Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Jermaine Dupri. On their separate Instagram accounts, the three songwriters accompanying Bailey make note of their first day “in the lab.”

The quartet makes for a high caliber production team. Considering the advancements that the producers have made in R&B with household names like Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Usher and more, many followers are already expecting nothing short of virtuosity. 

Halle has also been teasing some new music on her TikTok while she vacationed in the Maldives. With clips of her cycling and dancing through the islands, she sings “I know you always [leave] but baby follow me, any type of day I’ll give you what you need.” The teaser gives the impression of a serene love song. 

Johntá took to Twitter to attest that Halle’s “pen game is crazy” which is consistent with the previous projects that she and her sister, Chloe Bailey have written and produced from their debut and sophomore albums, respectively titled “The Kids Are Alright” and “Ungodly Hour.” 

With a film as iconic as ‘The Little Mermaid‘ and an upcoming project backed by certified music moguls, Halle Bailey’s growing résumé only suggests future greatness.

Earlier this month, tensions between BIA and Cardi B appeared to be building.

The alleged feud came when Cardi B released her “Like What (freestyle),” sampling Missy Elliott‘s 1999 single, “She’s A Bi**h.” This prompted BIA to address the matter on X (formerly known as Twitter), highlighting similarities to her own track, “I’m That B***h,” featuring Timbaland, which also sampled the same record.

The feud progressed when Cardi B previewed her new record, “Enough (Miami),” which fans think draws parallel to BIA’s 2023 ‘REALLY HER‘ EP single, “Fallback.” The visual to Cardi’s new record also similarly looks like BIA’s “Millions.”


Ahead of the record’s release, Cardi responded on X, teasing, “B**ches make a fool of themselves every single time [crying face emoji] .. ima show ya something when I release this song tho [winking face emoji].”


Their relationship wasn’t always strained. In 2021, Cardi’s breakout hit “Bodak Yellow” achieved diamond certification, which prompted BIA to express admiration on social media. “If you’re not inspired you’re not paying attention,” she acknowledged. “You can at least be a fan of someone’s work ethic, growth, and contributions. & I’ve been writing for 10 years, what she’s accomplished is NOT EASY.”

Addressing rumors of a rift, BIA clarified, “Sweetie, I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. I’ve never met Cardi, we’ve never had a conversation. Like, I don’t have no issues with her, it’s all love, but I don’t know her. Y’all do too much on this app, I don’t know her in real life.”

She ended with, “Ask me about somebody I know. Ask me about somebody I’ve met in real life, not online.”

Within his reflection, Kanye, of course took the opportunity to address certain grievances, calling out Drake for what he perceived as an untimely move by including Lil Durk at the beginning of the Vultures rollout. Drake recently brought along Lil Durk into the closing dates of his tour, It’s All a Blur – Big as the What?, alongside J. Cole.

“And it’s f**k Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

Durk is featured on the title track of Vultures with Ye and Ty Dolla Sign.

Ye also took the opportunity to once again, Adidas, as well as the U.K. outlet, Daily Mail, and Hailey Bieber.

“F**k Adidas and everybody who works there,” he wrote. “F**k everybody at the fashion houses that sided with Gabby and Hailey Bieber.”
