    Katy Perry Says 2017 Album Flop Sent Her to Weeklong Therapy as She Struggled With Depression

    People Magazine/Brooke Nipar

    The ‘Roar’ singer reveals she went to therapist to help her survive the ‘darkest’ years of her life amid depression following the lukewarm reception of her album ‘Witness’.
    Aug 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Katy Perry went on a gruelling weeklong therapy retreat as a part of her “mental and spiritual journey” back from depression.
    The pregnant pop superstar was forced to cancel her planned destination wedding to fiance Orlando Bloom and push back the release of her sixth studio album “Smile”, out later this month (Aug20). due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    In an interview with People magazine, the “Firework” hitmaker admitted that undergoing intense therapy has helped her to survive the “darkest” years of her life, and left her well-equipped to handle unexpected challenges.
    “Having a great partner, having a sound mind, continuing to do the work, I’m not as flinchable,” explains the star, who has been open about her battle with depression, sparked by the flop of her 2017 album Witness”. “I’m not untouchable or invincible, but it’s a little bit more like water off a duck’s back.”
    Now Perry insists, ahead of the release of “Smile”, she is “full of resilience, full of joy and love.”
    “After being on a rocket ship and just going straight up, it was just a small change in the trajectory, but it felt seismic,” says Perry, who also pressed pause on her romance with Bloom during her mental health battle. “It’s been two-and-a-half years of trying to find my footing. It’s so easy for me to work, work, work and avoid, but I had to go on a mental and spiritual journey.”

    Perry compared her lowest moments to a “nightmare,” adding, “You feel like you’re being attacked, and you can’t wake up.”
    The singer credited the Hoffman Process (a weeklong personal-development retreat that helps participants dig into negative behaviours conditioned from childhood) – for helping her to be able “to take the wheel back.”
    “It got me out of this desperate loop of being the best pop star ever,” she insists. “I just really want to be a human being and have the dimension of life.”
    “I get to live life, and I get to bring life into the world. Finding the gratitude in this pain has been a real journey, but the outcome is worth it.”

    Report: Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's 'Wap' Music Video to Feature Kylie Jenner

    WENN

    Not only the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star, but the visuals allegedly will also see a number of stars like Sukihana, Rubi Rose and Mulatto making appearances.
    Aug 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – More details about Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s highly-anticipated single have surfaced online. It’s now being reported that the accompanying music video will feature none other than Kylie Jenner.
    Not only the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, but the visuals allegedly will also see a number of stars like Sukihana, Rubi Rose and Mulatto making appearances. Reports additionally suggested that the music video was filmed one week prior to Kylie’s infamous pool party where Megan got shot in both feet.
    Both “Wap” and its music video are expected to be released on Friday, August 7.
    Cardi announced the single earlier this week, revealing the artwork that saw her and Megan posing with their backs facing each other. In addition to that, the female rappers sported matching hairstyles and gold earrings as both of them covered their private parts with their hands and stuck their tongues out. News of the single drew fans wild to the point that it crashed Cardi’s website.
    “Wap” is expected to serve as the first single off Cardi’s upcoming sophomore album. Even though she has yet to give more details about the effort like its tracklist and title, the Grammy winner previously said that the album is expected to hit the stores this year.
    In an interview with Forbes, Cardi admitted to being “a little bit stressful” while working on the upcoming project because she felt the need to make it better than her debut album “Invasion of Privacy”. She said, “I was never the type of person that worried about the success of music, but the pressure that people put on you when it comes to it, it gives you this pressure. And then, on top of that, I feel like music is changing.”
    She continued, “So I feel like I’m not really sure what people are looking for. But I’m just going to have fun in the studio and do what I like to do, and make what I would like to hear. I’m not worried about anybody else but myself.”

    The Weeknd Hints at Juice WRLD Collaboration

    WENN

    The Blinding Lights’ hitmaker has seemingly announced a posthumous collaboration with the late rapper following the release of the latter’s album ‘Legends Never Die’.
    Aug 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Weeknd has taken to social media to hint that a new collaboration with the late rapper Juice WRLD is on the way.
    The R&B superstar tweeted, “XO + 999 Thursday Night” on Tuesday (4Aug20), with “XO” representing himself and “999” a moniker the late rapper used extensively as part of his brand.
    Fans on Twitter also played detective and discovered an old tweet of Juice WRLD’s from late last year, where he theorised that a collaboration between him and The Weeknd would be successful.
    “Me and The Weeknd would make a diamond record…” the old tweet, from September 2019 reads.
    Juice WRLD, real name Jarad Anthony Higgins, died age 21, following a seizure on a private jet from Los Angeles to Chicago, Illinois last December. An autopsy found toxic levels of oxycodone and codeine present in his system.
    His first posthumous album, “Legends Never Die”, went to number one in the U.K. and U.S. last month – becoming the most successful posthumous album in two decades in America.

    6ix9ine Goes Off on Charlie Sloth for Saying He Can't Rap

    Instagram

    It all starts after the rainbow-haired rapper sends the British radio dj a private message asking him to let him be the guest in an episode of ‘Fire in the Booth’ show.
    Aug 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tekashi69 a.k.a. 6ix9ine is confident that he’s a good rapper, so he won’t let it slide if he finds anyone questioning his ability. Most recently, British radio DJ Charlie Sloth did the exact thing and ended up getting blasted by the rainbow-haired hip-hop star. However, instead of hitting back in the same manner, he used this chance to troll him.
    Sloth took to Instagram to share a screenshot of his private message with Tekashi, in which the latter asked him if he could let him be the guest star in the next episode of “Fire in the Booth”. In response, the TV presenter said, “Sorry fire in the booth is only for people that can RAP,” completely thrashing Tekashi’s skills.
    Not one to remain silent after being roasted like that, the “Trollz” rapper went off, “F**k you u fat p***y.” Sloth clearly did not let Tekashi’s attack get to him because he then replied, “Bless up splinter,” along with a crying-laughing emoji.

    Sloth was clearly not the only one laughing here, because a lot of people in the comment section left the same emojis while praising him for roasting Tekashi. Someone even suggested, “You should have put him on the show and said this live to him during the show.” Meanwhile, an individual called him the “goat” for telling Tekashi that.
    “Hahahahahaha! You are a solid platinum G!” another person wrote, as someone said, “I don’t know u but you got my respect for this one, we need more grown people like this, blessing.” On the other hand, an online user commented, “That’s how all DJ’s should treat him. You get more salutes that many out here.” There was also one person who said, “You the man. That kid a skitted hair [rat] he doesn’t deserve any light.”
