Dua Lipa has sent fans crazy after she deleted all posts from her Instagram, prompting speculation that she could set to drop her new album imminently. The social media blackout is a typical promotional move for an artist to pull before the release of new music and it's no secret that Dua has an album on the way after the Grammy winner revealed earlier this year that the record was almost finished. We cannot wait.

The band, fronted by Chris Martin, first found themselves in hot water in August when Dave Homles sued them for 'unpaid commission'. However, according to legal papers, the Viva La Vida singers have now rejected his claims and counter-sued for 14 million pounds in damages and claim that their ex-manager allowed tour costs to rise. The band have not spoken out publicly on the legal dispute but are continuing on their Music of the Spheres tour and their next stop in Tokyo in November.

During a recent episode of the Joe Budden Podcast, the former rap artist hit out at the new release, saying that Drake was producing music and rapping for the kids. After the clip was posted on social media, Drizzy left a lengthy comment in response, stating that Joe Budden had failed at music and that he instead makes money from podcasting rather than music. Meanwhile, Drake is on track to bag the number one spot in the UK albums chart, and we don't think the criticism will phase the Canadian rapper.
