Bang bang. Rihanna drops yet another killer video. Still sizzling off last month’s hot and steamy “Kiss It Better” clip, RiRi gets armed and dangerous in the video for her latest ANTI single, the DJ Mustard-produced “Needed Me.”

The visuals match the slapper’s strong message of independence. “Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage?” Rihanna confidently asks. “Fuck ya white horse and ya carriage.”

Meanwhile, RiRi struts in all her confident glory, draped in see-through lingerie with a gun in her hand. She slays her way through the clip, riding motorcycles through streets and making her way through a strip club where she finally comes face to face with her target before leaving him in a pool of blood.

Looks can kill in this thrilling video, showing Rihanna is not to be messed with. Watch the lethal clip below.

VIDEO: N.W.A INDUCTED INTO ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME BY KENDRICK LAMAR

From the streets of Compton to the Rock Hall, N.W.A continues to make history. The legendary rap crew was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday (Apr. 8).

All living members of the group, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC Ren, as well as Eazy-E’s mother, were on hand for the induction ceremony at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, which was filled with compelling moments, including a poignant speech from Ice Cube about why the “World’s Most Dangerous Group” belongs in the Rock Hall despite what naysayers like Gene Simmons say.

“Are we rock and roll?” Cube asked. “I say, you goddamn right we rock and roll. Rock and roll is not an instrument. Rock and roll is not even a style of music. Rock and roll is a spirit. It’s a spirit that’s been going since the blues, jazz, bebop, soul, R&B, rock and roll, heavy metal, punk rock, and yes, hip-hop. What connects us all is that spirit. Rock and roll is not conforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and in life. That is rock and roll and that is us.”

As promised, Kendrick Lamar was also on hand to welcome the group to the legendary Hall. The Compton MC, who’s worked closely with Dr. Dre throughout his career, explained how N.W.A redefined the term “gangster.”

The 31st Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which also includes Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, Chicago, Steve Miller, and Bert Berns, will air April 30 on HBO.

Watch Kendrick’s introduction and see more highlights from N.W.A’s speeches below.

“Being gangster symbolizes a hustle that you can change your reality,” explained K-Dot. “The true meaning of gangster, being able to show what it takes to be the world’s biggest music group. Being gangster is forming iconic labels: Ruthless Records, Death Row, Aftermath Records. Being gangster is breaking out to become a movie star, a movie producer, and having your own son play you as a retrospect to your career, Straight Outta Compton.

DR. DRE ON N.W.A’S IMPACT: “This is proof to all the kids out there, growing up in places similar to Compton, that anything is possible…This is a great honor. I really appreciate it. I’ve always dreamed about this. Thank you so much.”

ICE CUBE ON EAZY-E: “We love Eazy. We miss him. I think about him all the time because he was such a smart businessman and he knew the pulse of the people. We gon’ miss Eazy-E…I hope we all remember him forever.”

SNEAK PEEK: POWER SEASON 3

Season 3 finds James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) as the owner of new nightclubs, out of the drug game, and in a rekindled relationship with his first love, Angela (Lela Loren)—the AUSA sworn to bring him to justice. But just as they begin to believe James’ past criminal persona of “Ghost” may finally be behind them, both are forced to face the consequences of running from a life from which no one gets away clean—especially with the fate of Kanan (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), and the motives of Lobos (Enrique Murciano) remaining a mystery. 

James’ estranged best friend Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) has just reunited with his newly returned love, Holly, but he must attempt the insurmountable task to not only rebuild Lobos’ devastated drug organization, but to kill Ghost—turning brother against brother. Check out the trailer inside.


With her marriage to James in shambles, Tasha (Naturi Naughton) adapts to life without her husband by her side. She’ll find new purpose with old skills while trying to protect her children from the repercussions of life in the drug game and Ghost’s fateful past decisions.

He’s on the verge of having everything he’s ever wanted, but will this new phase of James St. Patrick’s life end before it begins with old sins and the specter of “Ghost” coming back to haunt him? Be careful what you wish for.

“Power” premieres in July on Starz with ten hour-long episodes third season. Courtney A. Kemp serves as the Creator, Showrunner and Executive Producer of “Power.” Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Mark Canton, Randell Emmett and Gary Lennon serve as Executive Producers on “Power.”

UNBREAKABLE JANET JACKSON SORTA. ? ANNOUNCES SHE'S PREGNANT!

Janet Jackson shocked her fans by posting a video on Instagram.com this morning to announce she is postponing her tour in order to start a family with her husband, Wissam al Mana.

Apparently the 49-year-old pop icon is joining the ranks of female stars who are having babies later in life.

Since having sex doesn’t require postponing a world tour, we are left to assume that Jackson is undergoing in vitro fertilization to get pregnant.

The IVF process makes pregnancy possible for wealthy women, such as celebrities, who could not have children in their 40s or 50s.

Currently the IVF process is mainly available to women who are financially well off. Insurance only covers fertility treatments in about 15 states.

Congrats to Ms. Jackson!

BRANDY SUES RECORD LABEL FOR BLOCKING HER RIGHT TO RECORD NEW MUSIC

Brandy is taking her record label to court. The R&B songstress has filed suit against Chameleon Entertainment Group for $1 million, claiming that the New York-based label refused to let her drop new material as a way to get her to sign a deal with Epic Records.

In the suit, the 37-year-old says that Chameleon owner-CEO Breyon Prescott forced her to sign with Epic and release music through Chameleon, so he can double his profit.

According to Courthouse News Service, she is asking for $1 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, for intentional interference with contract, interference with business relations, and business law violations.

“Prescott owns and operates defendant Chameleon and is employed full time by Epic Records and head of urban A&R,” reads the complaint. “The new recording and distribution deal that he is trying to force Norwood to sign is with Epic, which allows him to ‘double dip’: if Prescott can force Norwood to sign the new deal, he will profit both as an owner of Chameleon and through bonuses and other benefits he will get from Epic.”

The suit also calls this “a blatantly unlawful attempt to bully Norwood into signing a new recording and distribution agreement containing terms far worse than her current agreement” and that “defendants have made clear through their actions and words that, unless Norwood capitulates and signs this terrible deal, she will remain ‘trapped’ with a label that won’t let her record or release music.”

The “Boy Is Mine” singer signed with Chameleon in 2011 before releasing her 2012 album Two Eleven through the imprint. According to the AP, the deal gave Chameleon the option to release four more Brandy albums, but the label refused to allow her to record a new project.

Since then, Brandy has terminated her Chameleon contract and now wants a judge to rule that the terms are void.

While she pursues legal action, Brandy released a new single called “Beggin & Pleadin” through her own imprint, Slayana Records, in January.
