1) PAY ME
It looks as though exhausting Auto-Tune has finally paid off for T-Pain. The Rapper-Ternt-Sanga is said to be receiving royalties from the Bad Boy himself, Diddy. According to XXL, Diddy’s upcoming album will be entirely sung using Pain’s signature sound and Diddy will also credit him by giving him royalties on the album. Speaking excitedly about the project, T-Pain said ‘Diddy actually gave me royalties on this album just for using Auto-Tune. He signed the contract and everything. If I can do that with Diddy, somebody else better be signing something. It’s Diddy. He didn’t have to involve me at all. … I’m writing and producing on his album, and he gave me extra royalties on top of that for using something I just brought back’.

1) COVER GIRL
Keyshia Cole landed the cover of this month’s Billboard magazine. The soulful songstress spoke about the new series of her BET reality show, a possible movie chronicling the events of her life thus far and of course her first love, music. When speaking on her third studio album A Different Me, due out on December 16th, she said ‘The first two albums were more ... painful. It's a different me this time: a young woman who's still growing and finding myself, exploring life through different routes musically and in other areas. I wrote more about other people's situations than my own. I'm moving forward’.
