Roc is on a roll.
…Roc Nation that is, doing what eagles do: soar–and obviously much too busy to fly down and answer the jabs of fighter Adrien Broner, and flexes of DJ FunkmasterFlex.
Other Side of the Fame just put you up on the fact that Rihanna‘s new album “R8” is rumored to be dropping in FebruaRIH–-via her own imprint under the Roc Nation label and distribution.
First out the gate was the surprise single she dropped FourFiveSeconds featuring Paul McCartney and label mate Kanye West [under her very own Westbury Road imprint].
Kanye’s wing-gating, we’ll have you know.
This upcoming Thursday, he will be copping a squad on the couches of the Ellen Degeneres Show to talk about his upcoming (slash) long awaited album y’all!
That’s all we got right now but too, Sam Smith will be a guest on that day.
OSF reported to you, today, that (aside from Sam’s much deserved accolades), the British singer-songwriter
*in my Brit accent*
…got’tim’self in a bit’of’a legal spat with veteran rocker Tom Petty. Smith was ordered to fork over some of those royalty duckets he earned for his hot chart-topping smash Stay With Me.
It was found that Smith’s song sounded enough like Petty’s such that Petty paws should be hen-pecked with a percentage of some of that paper generated for the sales of [the song].
Will Sam discuss what, or how that happened on with Ellen?
I dunno.
I guess you, like me, will have to watch!
In the meantime, scroll up to the OSF big screen to check out what happened the last time Kanye copped a squad with Ellen (November 2013).
