Wow, can't believe this! I just read that Donnie klang done an interview with a US Radio station and was asked how things were going with him and Diddy, read what he had to say below.
“I get asked this question a lot and I never really been honest with myself or the fans but I’m going to tell you the truth … its hell working with Diddy, he never really gives you a say dealing with your career - its always what he wants. He is trying to make me something I’m not. He wants me to act Black … I’m not sure why maybe because the majority of the Bad boy family is black. I’m not really sure if this is the place for me anymore, but I’m trying to work through with this and to tell you the truth its really hard to work with Black people in general.
The radio host then replied by:
“Wow you just put it all out there and you made a very strong comment about black people which I’m sure is gonna cost a lot of controversy” .
Donnie answered :
Well I’m being honest”.
Boy I sure hope this isn't true, I've given this guy a lot airplay on my radio show , I'm gonna have to investigate this some more...

Beyonce - I Am Sacha Fierce Album Playback
On Tuesday night I was invited to Beyonce's official album playback at the SonyBMG offices in London, the session was hosted by her pops Matthew Knowles.
First of all he explained the concept behind the album title - 'I Am Sacha Fierce' which is similar to Eminem's Slim Shady alter ego, accept this showed Beyonce to have a shy, vulnerable side but then can turn into energetic, wild diva type character. He also told us on this project Beyonce took full creative control, choosing all the writers, producers and final songs.
She also co-produced the whole album! The interesting thing about this is all of the singles from the album will be double A sides, well this is the plan in the States, I'm not sure if the same thing will be done in the UK. From my first listen to the tracks I wasn't overly excited by what I heard but maybe that will change on my second listen. The album is due out in the UK on 17th November so have a look out for it then.
Track listings are as follows with my rating out of 10:
Disc 1
If I Were A Boy (Produced By Toby Gad)
Halo (Produced By Ryan Tedder) (5/10) This is set be the second single from the album.
Disappear (Produced By Amanda Ghost) (4/10)
Broken Hearted Girl (Produced By Stargate, Written By Babyface) (6/10)
Ave Maria (Produced By Stargate) (4/10)
Satellites (Produced By Amanda Ghost) (5/10)
Disc 2
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) (Produced By Tricky Stewart & The Dream) (6/10)
Radio (Produced By Jim Jonsin) (6/10)
Diva (Produced By Mr Bangladesh, Written By Sean Garrett) (7/10) This one has the potential to be big club banger!
Sweet Dreams (Produced By Jim Jonsin) (5/10)
Video Phone (Produced By Mr Banglasdesh) (5/10)
The Deluxe Edition Disc includes these tracks:
Scared Of Lonely (Produced By Rodney Jerkins)
Smash Into You (Produced By Tricky Stewart & The Dream)
Thats Why You're Beautiful (Produced By Andrew Hey)
Hello (Produced By REO)
Ego (Produced By BlacElivs)

Ciara Ft T Pain - Go Girl (Video)
Love this track, been playing it every week on my BBC Radio 1Xtra RnB Show , I like the fact that Ciara is prepared to take a few risks with her music, if you heard 'High Price Ft Ludacris' you know what I mean.. Lets hope the album 'Fantasy Ride' has more unexpected tunes to come.
