Producer Deputy is etching both his name and sound into the minds of the masses – thanks largely to the commercial and Pop cultural success of Rihanna‘s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money.’

Together with songwriter Bibi, the Roc Nation talent crafted the hit on everyone’s lips – and is gearing up to bake even more blazing numbers for RiRi.

Speaking to That Grape Juice while in London recently, the rising star relived his journey and revealed that he’s also worked on new music for Beyonce and Alicia Keys.

Who else are you working with at the moment— here in London and home in the US?

Deputy: Out here, I’m working with the artist Ray right now. Met with Dizzee Rascal earlier during the visit. Tinie Tempah, Nick Brewer.

Over in the US—Zendaya, Keke Palmer, Beyonce, and Alicia Keys.

So, you’re not going to say Beyonce’s name and we’re not going to kind of hone in on that. Tell us a little bit about what it’s been like working with her?

Deputy: I actually don’t know. I did a record, and for the people who heard it, thought it was really a dope Beyonce record—so, we got it over to her and she liked it.

The whole ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ experience has opened a lot of doors. It’s also taught me to not overthink things anymore. You know, once I do the record and I decide to just leave it alone and just let things happen, right? And then if they happen, they happen, and if they don’t, I just keep it moving—work on to the next project.

Is Beyonce gearing up to collaborate with Hip-Hop icons Bone Thugs-n-Harmony? The group used the social media platform Instagram to announce that she had reached out to them but were careful not to reveal what for.

"Hey YALL!!!!!! Just found out Beyoncé wanna work with the band ...... Y'all hit her up and tell the QUEEN of RnB we ready ..... Love to Eminem for his shout out recently as well.... This shit is beginning to cook again y'all!!!! #goodnews #heymamaimadeit #nuffsaid #bster #bizzybone #bonethugsnharmony"

Remember where you heard it first!

Australian firm Elenberg Fraser has won planning approval for a 226-metre-high Melbourne skyscraper that will feature a curvaceous form taken from a music video by Beyoncé.

The new Premiere Tower at 134 Spencer Street will boast a series of curves and bulges designed to make it as structurally efficient as possible, but that also reference one of Beyoncé's music videos.

The shape is an homage to the undulating fabric-wrapped bodies of dancers in the singer's music video for Ghost – a song from her self-titled 2013 album, which was originally published as one half of track called Haunted but released as a stand-alone music video.

"For those more on the art than science side, we will reveal that the form does pay homage to something more aesthetic – we're going to trust you've seen the music video for Beyoncé's Ghost," said the Melbourne-based studio.

The 68-storey structure, which was approved by planning officials in May, will be located at the west end of the city's central business district. It will contain 660 apartments, as well as a 160-room hotel.

Parametric modelling – a type of computer-aided design that allows complex shapes to be created in response to data constraints – was used to develop the unique form, which will swell in and out at various points around the facade.

Beyonce received one nomination for the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards:

CHIME FOR CHANGE and Global Citizen are proud to announce a long-term partnership to build a global campaign that will create change for girls and women around the world. Global Citizen’s community of people wants to learn about the critical issues facing women, and to take action in support of them.

Gender equality is fundamental to Global Citizen’s long-term objective of ending extreme poverty by 2030. Women account for half of the world’s population, but three-fifths of those in extreme poverty. Women also perform two-thirds of the world’s working hours, yet earn only ten per cent of the world’s income, and own less than one per cent of the world’s property.

This partnership will provide CHIME FOR CHANGE a global platform – GlobalCitizen.org – to engage millions of people around the world by educating and encouraging them to take meaningful action in support of girls and women. Together, these two groups will aim to achieve measurable outcomes for girls’ and women’s issues, leveraging the combination of their powerful platforms, communities, partners and influence.

In addition, Gucci and CHIME FOR CHANGE will serve as Presenting Partners at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival on the Great Lawn in Central Park on September 26 in New York City.

We got an exclusive tip that Beyonce is going to perform at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival, which will be held on September 26 on the Great Lawn in New York City. The singer will perform alongside Ed Sheeran, Coldplay and Pearl Jam. The news is supposed to be announced on Thursday so we'll have to wait until then for the official confirmation.

Is Beyonce readying another major music moment?

According to hitmaker Mike WiLL Made It, not only is the answer yes but it may be arriving sooner rather than later.

During yesterday’s one-off 106 & Park BET Awards special, the producer was quizzed about his upcoming projects and within the course of his response, he name checked Bey. Watch a video here.

Will’s catalogue of hits include Rihanna‘s ‘Pour It Up’ and Ciara‘s ‘Body Party.’

No word on what exactly it’s for. Yet, with many a source touting the existence of a joint album between Beyonce and hubby Jay Z, could they have called on the hard-hitting Mike to craft cuts for the project? Time will tell!

The winners of the 2015 BET Awards were announced yesterday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Out of four nominations, Beyonce won three awards!

Beyoncé and the Weeknd will headline the lineup for Jay Z's fourth annual Budweiser Made in America festival, which will return to Philadelphia the Labor Day weekend of September 5th. Also on board to perform at the fest are J. Cole, De La Soul, Axwell & Ingrosso, Nick Jonas, Bassnectar, Big Sean, Earl Sweatshirt, Meek Mill, Banks, Vic Mensa, Santigold and more. A ticket pre-sale for the festival starts Thursday, June 25th at 10:00 am EDT at www.ticketmaster.com. The general public can purchase their tickets on Monday, June 29th at 12:00 p.m. EDT.

This is the first year that the Made in America fest doesn't have a rock act in a headlining slot. While all genres of music are represented, the 2015 lineup leans heavily on hip-hop and R&B. However, plenty of rockers will still take the stage at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, including Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Metric, Waxahatchee and Strands of Oak.

The Made in America performance marks Beyoncé's second time headlining her husband's festival; she previously appeared at the 2013 fest. Other acts performing at the 2015 fest are A-Trak, Action Bronson, Fabolous, DJ Mustard, G-Eazy, Flatbush Zombies, Duke Dumont, Halsey and Ryan Hemsworth. Check out the Made in America site for the complete lineup.

After two years in Philadelphia, the Made in America festival went bi-coastal in 2014, adding a Los Angeles event for the same weekend as the annual Philly get-together. However, the fest failed to have a similar impact on the West Coast as it does in the East and plans for a follow-up MIA LA fest were scrapped earlier this month.

Madonna announced on Twitter that Beyonce will appear in her music video for "Bitch I'm Madonna" featuring Nicki Minaj!

Want to study Beyoncé this fall? We don’t blame you. The Department of Drama and Speech Communication at the University of Waterloo is offering a course focused entirely on the mega superstar, entitled Gender and Performance (DRAMA 282).

Perhaps it is the mutability of her voice, the impenetrability of her image, the careful choreography of her public persona and the astute manipulation of audio, visual and audio-video mediums that position Beyoncé as one of the most influential performers of the 21st century. Eponymously titled, the “Beyoncé” album is a vexing articulation of contemporary mainstream feminism that has captivated audiences worldwide.

The course will be offered in Fall 2015 to all students and has no prerequisites. Students will analyze videos from Beyoncé’s most recent album, use feminist and critical race theories to reflect on the artist’s work and create their own artistic responses.

Instructor Professor Naila Keleta-Mae says that “whether or not feminist scholars, activists or artists agree with Beyoncé’s discourse, her influence on popular culture is undeniable. I would argue that it would be negligent for those of us interested in gender studies to dismiss the album ‘Beyoncé’ or its principal artist.”

Don’t let the course name fool you; this class is all about Beyoncé. “I'm over being a pop star. I don't wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic.” - Beyoncé

Beyonce has moved her touring business from ICM Partners to CAA, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned. She will remain with ICM for acting.

The superstar would be an instant signature client for any agency, and her partial departure is a blow for ICM, whose music department is one of its strengths. Her 2014 On the Run stadium tour with husband Jay Z grossed more than $100 million in ticket sales over 19 North American dates.

Beyonce initially came to ICM in 2006 from – ironically – CAA, when she followed her longtime motion picture talent agent Andrea Nelson Meigs.
