    Saweetie Appears to Call Quavo 'Narcissist' in New Song Following Dramatic Split

    WENN/Apega

    Prior to this, Quavo seemingly dissed the ‘Icy Girl’ raptress in a snippet of an unreleased track in which the Migos rapper appeared to talk about the Bentley that he gave to Saweetie back in December 2020.

    Apr 17, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Saweetie seemingly is clapping back at ex-boyfriend Quavo. The 27-year-old musician appeared to diss the Migos rapper in a new track which was included in her new EP “Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1”. Titled “See Saw”, the song features Saweetie rapping about a man who hurts her.

    “How you figure, ain’t the woman that you thought/ You was humpin’ thots, f**kin’ narcissist you just mad you got caught,” she spits her fiery bars. Meanwhile, Sacramento-based songstress Kendra Jae joins her in the hot new song, taking the vocals on the tune.

    Prior to this, Quavo was accused of dissing the “Icy Girl” raptress in a snippet of an unreleased track. In the audio, which surfaced online earlier this month, the Athens-born artist rhymed, “Skrtttt Skrtttt takin back dat Bentley/ F**d dem h**s now I gotta act stingy/ new Huncho & Petro otw.” Fans believed that he was likely referring to the Bentley that he gave his then-girlfriend as a gift in December 2020.

    After the pair called it quits in February, words were Quavo took back the lavish car. “Quavo’s no dummy – the Bentley wasn’t in her name,” a source told MTO News at the time. “He’s not being petty or anything, but she’s on Twitter talking s**t. So he took back the car… He got that s**t.” However, the reports were later debunked as TMZ claimed that the 29-year-old emcee neither leased the car in his name nor ended the lease early.

    While it did seem messy, the uglier part of their breakup was when a video surfaced online in March, featuring the then-couple having a physical altercation in an elevator. The “Best Friend” raptress seemingly lashed out at the “Congratulations” spitter as they grappled over a Call of Duty case.

    Of the footage, Saweetie said that “this unfortunate incident happened a year ago.” She continued, “While we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement, there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship and we have both since moved on. I kindly ask that everyone respect my privacy during this time.”

    Quavo also released his own statement in which he denied physically abused the raptress. “We had an unfortunate situation almost a year ago that we both learned and moved on from,” he told TMZ. “I haven’t physically abused Saweetie and have real gratitude for what we did share overall.”

    Dressed in a risque orange bra and matching sparkly thong, the Grammy-winning raptress flaunts her impressive pole dancing and twerking skills along with other dancers in the “Movie” music video. She and her co-stars appear to have so much fun as they drink expensive liquor and take shots. The clip also displays her and the Only the Family founder throwing money around the dance floor.

    Megan has since gained praise from her online devotees. Taking to the YouTube comments section, one individual gushed, “Megan DOES NOT disappoint. Never has. She always serves.” Another user raved, “What we needed to get us through the day! Megan and Cardi should open up a strip joint, call it WAP.” A third chimed in, “Why Megan slay every music video?”

    “Movie” is the fourth single from Megan’s debut album “Good News” to have its music video. It followed “Cry Baby” featuring DaBaby, “Body” and “Don’t Stop”, in which she collaborated with Young Thug. “Good News” itself was released in November 2020.

    Megan’s new music video came after it was unveiled that her and Cardi B’s raunchy performance at Grammy Awards generated more than 1,000 complaints to the Federal Communications Commission. Many of the complainants dubbed their March 14 performance “disgusting” and likened it to “pornography.”

    Despite the complaints, Megan managed to take home three awards that night. She won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for “Savage Remix”, featuring Beyonce Knowles, as well as Best New Artist.

    Instagram

    Just days before the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards is being held in Nashville, Tennessee, the ‘I Hope You’re Happy Now’ collaborators learn that they have snagged one trophy.

    Apr 16, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Carly Pearce and Lee Brice will be heading to Sunday’s (April 18) ACM Awards as winners after scoring the Music Event of the Year trophy for their hit “I Hope You’re Happy Now”.

    The stars, who will perform the tune during the prizegiving, learned they were winners on Thursday, April 15 and Brice can’t wait to get up onstage and sing after a positive COVID-19 test forced him to pull out of a set with Carly at the CMA Awards in November 2020.

    Both Carly and Lee have taken to their respective Instagram accounts to share the moment they were informed they won the prize. “SURPRISE!!!! Is this even real life? This song continues to show me that all of my country music dreams are coming true,” the 30-year-old singer wrote in accompaniment of her post.

    The “Every Little Thing” singer continued expressing her appreciation in the same caption, “Thank you @acmawards @leebrice & all of YOUUU for making ‘I Hope You’re Happy Now’ this year’s Music Event of the Year!!” She added, “Can’t wait to perform it Sunday night.”

    Carly’s collaborator Lee, in the meantime, wrote in his own post, “I’m over the moon on winning this award but especially happy for @carlypearce! This is her story, her song and I am honored to be a part of it.”

    “Seeing this from the very beginning from her prospective to now winning awards is full circle and humbling but rewarding,” the 41-year-old crooner went on to say. “Tune in to watch us perform live this Sunday at the @acmawards on @cbstv and @paramountplus.”

    The pair joins Kane Brown, Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett among the ACM Awards’ early winners – Brown scored the Video of the Year honor for his “Worldwide Beautiful” promo on Wednesday, and Allen and Barrett were unveiled as the New Male and New Female Artist of the Year, respectively, last week, April 8.

    Van Morrison to Stage His First-Ever Online Concert in Celebration of Double Album Release

    WENN/Joel Ginsburg

    Just one day after ‘Latest Record Project: Volume 1’ hits retailers, the ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ singer will take over England’s Real World Studios for the special livestream performance.

    Apr 16, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Singer/songwriter Van Morrison will finally join the livestreaming trend by staging his first-ever online show to celebrate the launch of his new double album.

    The “Brown Eyed Girl” star will take over England’s Real World Studios for the special performance on May 8, just a day after “Latest Record Project: Volume 1” hits retailers, and he will be treating viewers to a mixed set of fan favorites and brand new tunes.

    The ticketed event will stream at 3 P.M. ET on Nugs.net.

    About the gig, Morrison took to his social media accounts to share the excitement. “We are delighted to announce that Van Morrison has partnered with @nugsnet for his first-ever virtual performance to celebrate the release of his new album ‘Latest Record Project Volume 1’ out May 7th,” he posted on Instagram.

      See also…

    “This livestream event filmed at the legendary Real World Studios in England will showcase eagerly-awaited new music, alongside classic tracks from Van’s catalogue,” he continued. His third tweet read, “Beginning today, fans can pre-order on http://nugs.net and then tune in LIVE on Saturday May 8th, 2021 at 3:00PM ET / 8:00PM BST.”

    The news of Van Morrison’s first virtual gig emerges three months after he threatened legal action against lawmakers who introduced a six-week lockdown across his native Northern Ireland in January amid the spread of COVID-19.

    The musician, who denounced COVID lockdowns in song last year (2020), instructed his legal representatives to commence judicial review proceedings, arguing the ban against playing live music in indoor licensed venues was unsustainable in law and not based on credible scientific or medical evidence.

    He also accused politicians of taking away people’s freedom, while alleging experts were making up facts to justify the restrictions.

    Fyre Festival Ticket Holders Awarded Settlement Payout in Class Action Lawsuit

    YouTube

    The music goers who purchased tickets to the disastrous Bahamian music festival are due to receive settlement money as they win in class action lawsuit against the organizers.

    Apr 16, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Fyre Festival ticket holders have been awarded over $7,200 (£5,200) in a class action settlement.

    Trustees have reached a settlement with 277 people who attended the disastrous 2017 Bahamian event, awarding each of them $7,220 pay-outs. The settlement was filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court – Southern District of New York on Tuesday (13Apr21).

    “It’s a small but significant step for ticket holders who were defrauded and had their lives up ended as a result of the fraudulent conduct by (Fyre founder) Billy McFarland,” Ben Meiselas, the lead attorney for the class-action, tells Billboard.

    Meiselas went on to admit that not all ticket holders will receive the full sum as there are multiple creditors involved in the bankruptcy case, but added, “There will be monetary relief in some form or fashion pending approval.”

    The news of the settlement comes a month after McFarland finally confessed to lying to investors in an unauthorised phone interview from prison, which landed him in solitary confinement.

    He told “Dumpster Fyre” podcast host Jordan Harbinger he “knowingly lied” to those backing the ill-conceived music event on the Bahaman island of Great Exuma to raise money for the festival.

    McFarland, who is currently serving a six-year sentence at the Federal Correction Institution in Elkton, Ohio after pleading guilty to multiple counts of fraud in 2017, told Harbinger, “The crime was inexcusably lying about the status of the company to get the money I thought I needed for the festival.”

    The Fyre Festival was billed as a luxury music festival with Blink-182 and Ja Rule among the acts set to appear, but the event turned out to be an unmitigated disaster, with music fans and thrill seekers, who paid thousands to attend, left stranded without proper accommodation or amenities.

    McFarland also admitted he lied to himself, convinced he could pull the festival off. “I legitimately thought the festival was going to be executed,” he said.

    AceShowbiz –
    Little Big Town star Phillip Sweet has been forced to sit out the group’s 2021 ACM Awards performance after testing positive for COVID-19.

    His bandmates, Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook, and Kimberly Schlapman, insist he is recovering, but not well enough to be out in public.
