Hot Boxing, Hospitalizations, and Other Music News This Week

A week of misbehaving artists.

A Week of Waiting - Thank goodness for yet another week filled with music news. Don’t worry, we’ll recap for you. 2016 has already revealed itself to be a great year for new releases by big artists and we got news of another finished album — no, it’s not Frank Ocean’s. No new developments in the Drake vs. Joe Budden story, but Joe goes for a win this week and it doesn’t involve taking a stab at Drake. There wasn’t a plethora of shady moments, but thanks to a pop star, the #TaylorSwiftIsOver party gets extended a little bit. Don’t mind the social media confusion of a Snapchatter or the reappearance of two hip-hop villains. – Jon Reyes(Photo: BET)

What a Week - What have we got for you this week? Lawsuits, hot boxing singers, and Waffle House fights. Seriously, what would we do without these artists? It wasn’t all scandal though. We got to take a look back at some artists and our favorite works from them. Oh, yeah, and Beyoncé was accused of hiring a sweat shop for her clothing line. Check out how that turned out. —Jon Reyes

In case you ever forget, hot-boxing is still a thing and Chris Brown tried to do it on a private plane. Um, he was kicked off. Knowing his temper, it must have not been a pretty sight. -  (Photo: Ian Gavan/Getty Images)

Kehlani performed in Austin this past week and some audience members began chanting her ex’s name, “Kyrie, Kyrie!” They seemed to have forgotten that Kyrie himself told us that he and the singer were already broken up when the “Tweet Heard Round the World” was sent. - (Photo: Rick Kern/WireImage)
