Mariah Carey Never Heard Of Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato

(Radio.com) Mariah Carey apparently is not a big fan of today's crop of auto-tuned popstars, saying that she is not familiar with either Demi Lovato or Ariana Grande. Radio.com has the details:

This past summer, Demi Lovato went on a Twitter rant defending her friend Ariana Grande, who was being compared to a cut rate Mariah Carey (via an internet meme).

In the process she had some unkind words for Carey, writing in part "Mariah is a legend and is so talented but constantly disses people. It's nasty the way she treats Jennifer [Lopez]."

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Carey was given the opportunity to respond to those comments, and did, claiming she didn't even know who Lovato was, echoing her famous J. Lo diss.

"I don't know her either and so I wouldn't say anything to her," Carey said. "She should come up, introduce herself to me, say, 'Here's my opinion. What do you think about it?' That's how you handle s�, OK?"

But Carey didn't reserve her shade for Demi, she also claimed to "not know" Ariana. "No, honestly, I'm not familiar. I listen to hip-hop more than I listen to pop music," she said. Check out the full segment here.

Nicki Minaj And Meek Mill Fuel Breakup Speculation

(Radio.com) Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill were vacationing mere weeks ago for her birthday, but it looks as though the couple may have hit a rough patch. A photo Meek posted and then deleted on Instagram page followed by several inspirational quotes they've shared have spouted rumors about a break up.

Meek quickly responded on his own page with different message. "There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness," the post read, but it's his caption that's even more telling. "Happiness the best make up a woman can wear�.show me ya true colors! " he wrote.

The back and forth messages followed a photo of a scantily clad behind Meek posted on Instagram before deleting it. The Boombox grabbed a screenshot, and accompanying the picture, Meek wrote, "Sitting back like ' $avage ' just friends," he wrote. Read more here.

Camila Cabello Speaks Out On Her Exit From Fifth Harmony

(Radio.com) Fifth Harmony's fans learned about Camila Cabello's decision to leave the group when the remaining four members tweeted the news on Sunday (December 18th), but now Cabello has shared her own words about her move.

"The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during tour.

She added that she was disappointed things went down the way they did. "Just like the other girls said in their statement about their plans, I had also planned to continue with my own solo endeavors in the new year but I did not intend to end things with Fifth Harmony this way," she wrote.

CeeLo Apologizes For Fake Exploding Cell Phone Viral Video

(Radio.com) A video clip of CeeLo surfaced over the weekend that depicted the musician revolving in a swivel chair, moments before a cell phone exploded in his face and jettisoned him to the ground, unconscious.

Though the video went viral, CeeLo later appeared on Facebook to confirm what some suspected: The clip was a fake. "I just wanna let everybody know that I am alive. I am well," he said. "Truthfully, I'm really upset that anybody had to be emotionally disturbed by what they saw today."

Many fans (and media outlets) believed the video and feared for CeeLo's life. 2016 was the year of the exploding-Samsung headline, so many presumed he was still using one of the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 phones. But despite the legitimate shock and concern, it was just a publicity stunt to introduce a new musical alter-ego, "Gnarly Davidson."

"It's supposed to set up the new character identity, you know what I'm saying," said Green. "What you saw today was a clip from a smaller video that we were shooting for a new project I'm doing called 'Gnarly Davidson.'" Watch the original and the apology videos here.

Desiigner Recruits Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott For 'Outlet' Video

(Radio.com) Desiigner teamed up with Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott for his latest visual "Outlet." The video blurs the line between music video and commercial, since it arrives via Champs Sports as well as Desiigner's YouTube page, and heavily features the rapper wearing adidas sportswear.

Part of Champs' "We Know Game" series, it pairs hip-hop's big breakout star with football's equally big breakout star. Prescott looks calm and collected when he appears briefly in the beginning and again near the end, but Desiigner brings big energy the entire time. There's hardly one shot where he's not jumping around or jumping in his seat. Besides the classic adidas tracksuit he wears throughout the video, Desiigner even sports a Panda winter mask as a sly nod to his first hit single.

The rapper has been working with adidas and Champs more and more over the course of the fall. When the #MannequinChallenge was at its height, he contributed his own stand still video which heavily featured both brands. Watch the video here.

McGraw posted the video to his Facebook page on Friday (December 16th). In it, the pair stand in a white-tiled bathroom and sing with an acoustic band backing them. The echo from the bathroom's layout brings an added fullness to the harmonies McGraw and Janson fuse together.

Rae Sremmurd Release 'Now That I Know' Video

(Radio.com) After wilding out by the pool in their last video, "Shake It Fast," Rae Sremmurd have slowed things down for their latest visual, "Now That I Know."

The video finds the brothers living what looks to be a fabulous life. There's a huge mansion, fancy cars, styling clothes and beautiful women, but not everything is as it seems. For the majority of the visual, Swae Lee wrestles with a love affair gone wrong. Wearing a white suit, he argues with a girl dressed in a slinky black dress.

His brother, Slim Jimmy, however has found solace in several ladies wearing lingerie. So it may not be the stacked out pool party seen in their last video, but it looks like Slim Jimmy at least isn't wanting for company.

"Now That I Know" appears on SremmLife 2. Next up, the brothers will perform at their second annual Sremmfest in Tupelo, MS. That concert takes place on December 23rd. Watch the video here.
