During a recent interview with Allure Magazine, Beyonce announced plans to dead her alter persona, whom fans have come to know as Sasha Fierce.


The R&B diva stated that it doesn't mean that fans won't see her perform in the energetic fashion that Fierce trademarked, but rather is a sign of her growth as an artist. Beyonce doesn't have to flip a switch anymore because the two personalities have become one.

Game and 50 Cent haven't spoken in years, but that doesn't mean that a possible collaboration is totally out of the question. The BoomBox caught up with Game, who is currently working on his upcoming release 'The R.E.D. Album,' and with a new outlook on both life and his career, the Compton native explained that when it comes to 50, he's ready to put the past behind him.

Solidifying his comeback, Chris Brown is a frontrunner for the 2011 BET Awards, leading the pack of hip-hop, soul and R&B artists with six nominations, including Best Male R&B Artist.


Last year, Brown stole the show, emerging from his post-Rihanna fallout to perform a medley of Michael Jackson hits in honor of the late pop icon. The performance prompted a turn in the media attention Brown had been receiving up until then, with the focus changing from his 2009 assault on Rihanna, to his teary-eyed rendition of 'Man in the Mirror.'

The Pittsburgh emcee explains the recent slew of collaborations with his peers.


Fans' curiosity continues to grow as Wiz Khalifa released five new tracks via his Twitter account featuring Curren$y and Big Sean: "O.T.T.R.," "Weed Brownies," "Dot Dot Dot," and "Flowers," produced by Big Jerm, and "Proceed," produced by Cardo.

In an interview with MTV, Wiz Khalifa spoke on the tracks, without confirming any plans to release a joint project with his counterparts.
