    The representative of the rapper also shares that ‘T.I.’s legal team and media partners are already moving Expeditiously to block this unauthorized use of his song ‘Whatever You Like’.
    May 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – T.I. has spoken out after President Donald Trump used his song “Whatever You Like” to attack his political enemy, Joe Biden. Through a statement issued by his representative, the rapper made it known that he never gave POTUS consent to use his art for his campaign.
    “Trump and his team (out of desperation for his campaign) have circulated a campaign video post throughout social media that includes the unauthorized use of T.I.’s song ‘Whatever You Like’, along with edited images of him and Joe Biden. The video distorts lyrics from his #1 charting song by misrepresenting the lyrics through text language and distortion of his recorded voice,” the representative for the rapper revealed.
    “It goes without saying, that T.I. would not in any way ever support the divisive policies and destructive propaganda of Trump. The people of our country deserve far better than this,” the rep continued saying. “Be clear, he does not authorize it or consent to the use of his song to falsely suggest any endorsement of President Trump or to attack Joe Biden. It is sad, but expected, that this President would stoop so low to use his property without authority to manipulate the community.”
    Concluding the statement, the rep shared that “T.I.’s legal team and media partners are already moving Expeditiously to block this unauthorized use and set the record straight in no uncertain terms.”
    The song was featured on Trump’s official Snapchat account as his team posted slideshow of images of Biden with T.I.’s song playing in the background. However, instead of its original lyrics, “I want yo’ body, need yo’ body/ Long as you got me you won’t need nobody,” Trump’s clip has T.I. saying, “I don’t want Joe Biden, need Joe Biden/ As long as you got me you won’t need Joe Biden.”
    The move was criticized by social media users as one remarked, “Wheww the desperation.” Some others predicted it’s only a matter of time before Tip slammed Trump for the unauthorized use of his song. “T.I. Bout to turn his vernacular up [100]…dictionary in hand!” one wrote. Another commented, “I need @troubleman31 to come through with a strongly worded cease and desists! Expeditiously.”

    Teyana Taylor Joins Class of 2020 in New Music Video as She Missed Out Her Own Graduation

    The ‘We Got Love’ singer helps cheer up this year’s graduates in her newly-premiered ‘Made It’ music video because she never celebrated her own graduation.
    May 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Teyana Taylor was determined to celebrate the class of 2020 in her new “Made It” video after homeschooling meant she missed out on her own graduation.
    The 29-year-old singer dropped the surprise new track last week, with the accompanying video showing her congratulating graduates via a Zoom call and celebrating on the stage in a mortarboard cap and gown.

    And in an interview with MSNBC, Teyana explained the motivation for the video, admitting that she’s always been bothered by the fact she never had a graduation of her own.
    “I didn’t get the chance to graduate and I wasn’t even going through a pandemic, I was home schooled, so when it was time for me to graduate I was literally in Starbucks when I got my cap and gown,” she said. “So I knew how it felt to not feel celebrated, or to not walk across the stage.”
    “Imagine going through a pandemic where you can’t even leave the house, you can’t even graduate in Starbucks if that was an option. So I wanted to do something for the class of 2020.”
    She added, “It was just about celebrating them and letting them know that no pandemic can dim the light, you made it. Especially putting in all those years of hard work and then to not be able to physically celebrate that – I know it’s a lot.”
    Teyana also revealed that while she’s “not bitter” about missing out on life at high school, she obtained a new outlook when she gave birth to her daughter Junie, who is now four.
    “It bothered me even more once I had my daughter because it was like, I can’t even tell you what to do, how to do it, how to get you ready for prom,” she sighed. “You know, those special moments that we want as teenagers and young adults and different things like that. So I missed out on a lot of those things.”
    “It’s just that, especially as a female, you want to experience those things you see on TV.”

    Instagram

    Dalton Gomez makes a cameo appearance in the hilarious skit wherein the ‘7 Rings’ hitmaker and collaborator Lady GaGa take on the roles of meteorologists for the Weather Channel.
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande’s boyfriend Dalton Gomez proved his commitment to the singer as he made a cameo appearance in her and Lady GaGa’s hilarious new “Rain On Me” promo.
    In a skit to promote their new collaboration, GaGa and Ariana take on the roles of meteorologists for the Weather Channel, with the “Poker Face” star standing under an umbrella protecting herself from the downpour as she comments: “It was beautiful just yesterday, but oh wow, how things have changed. Today it is pouring rain, we are soaking wet. While some are complaining of the recent downpour, we would like to celebrate the rain. Live from Beverly Hills is Ariana Grande with more to report.”
    “Thanks, GaGa. ‘Rain on me’, tsunami,” Ariana then quips. “Water like misery, but the people are still going.”
    “So true, Ariana,” GaGa replies. “The world is up in a massive act of kindness to celebrate the rain the world so desperately needs to quench the thirst of the Earth. Are we thirsty or what?.”
    “Oh, we are thirsty indeed,” Ariana jokes, as the camera pans out to reveal Dalton spraying water on her umbrella with a hose. “It’ll be raining all summer but we’ll surely be dancing when it does.”
    GaGa’s rain was also manmade, with an assistant wearing a face mask tasked with showering her with water.

    It’s not the first time Dalton has made a cameo in one of Ariana’s videos – the real estate agent first appeared in the music video for his girlfriend’s collaboration with Justin Bieber, “Stuck With U”.

    Donald Trump's Campaign Team Uses T.I.'s Song to Attack Joe Biden

    WENN/FayesVision

    A post on the president’s official Snapchat account features Tip’s ‘Whatever You Like’ with parts of its lyrics being swtiched to diss the Democratic presidential candidate.
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Donald Trump is once again risking himself of getting hit with allegation of illegal use of an artist’s work to attack his political enemy, Joe Biden. In a sly move likely to appeal to young demographic, the president’s reelection campaign team has repurposed T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” as a diss song aimed at the Democratic presidential candidate.
    On Trump’s official Snapchat account, his team posted slideshow of images of Biden with T.I.’s song playing in the background. However, instead of its original lyrics, “I want yo’ body, need yo’ body/ Long as you got me you won’t need nobody,” Trump’s clip has T.I. saying, “I don’t want Joe Biden, need Joe Biden/ As long as you got me you won’t need Joe Biden.”
    T.I. has not publicly responded to Trump’s use of his song, but it’s safe to say that he won’t be happy about it. The rapper previously made public of his disapproval of the president when he was elected into the office in 2016.
    “Donald Trump, this message is for you. My name is Clifford ‘T.I.P.” Harris,” the Atlanta rapper said in a clip posted on Instagram at the time. “I say this as nonviolently but unapologetically as possible. F**k you and f**k what you stand for. Nobody who support me will support you.”

    Last September, he also spoke against what Trump stands for while criticizing conservative figure Candace Owens’ support for the president. “When you say ‘Make America Great Again,’ which period are we talking about?” he said. “The period when women couldn’t vote, the period when we were hanging from trees, or the crack era? Which period in America are you trying to make America like again?”
    Meanwhile, social media users have called out Trump and his team for the use of T.I.’s song, with one remarking, “Wheww the desperation.” Some others predicted it’s only a matter of time before Tip slammed Trump for the unauthorized use of his song.
    “T.I. Bout to turn his vernacular up [100]…dictionary in hand!” one wrote. Another commented, “I need @troubleman31 to come through with a strongly worded cease and desists! Expeditiously.”

    Megan Thee Stallion Scores First No. 1 Single on Billboard Hot 100 With Beyonce Collaboration

    Instagram

    Toppling Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s hit ‘Stuck With U’, ‘Savage’ has also helped the ‘Formation’ singer to join the list of 21 acts who have scored seven or more number ones.
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion has landed her first U.S. number one with a little help from Beyonce Knowles.
    The pair’s “Savage” collaboration has rebounded from five to one to topple Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s hit “Stuck With U”.
    The song also earns Beyonce a spot in an exclusive Billboard Hot 100 club – she is among only 21 acts who have scored seven or more number ones. She also ties Mariah Carey as the only artist to have landed chart-toppers in each of the last three decades.

    Megan and Beyonce’s success continues a run of number ones for artists and guests, which began with Travis Scott (II) and Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts”, which debuted at the top on 9 May. Doja Cat’s collaboration with Nicki Minaj also hit the summit a week later, before they were replaced by Grande and Bieber.

    Doja Cat’s “Say So” holds at two on the new chart, while The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” rebounds from four to three, DaBaby’s “Rockstar”, featuring Roddy Ricch, is at four, and Drake’s “Toosie Slide” rises a spot to round out the top five.
    The remainder of the top 10 is: “Life is Good” by Future, featuring Drake, Roddy Ricch’s “The Box”, Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now”, “Intentions” by Justin Bieber, and Post Malone’s “Circles”, which extends its top 10-run record to 38 weeks.

    Instagram

    A fan attempts to assure them that they both can be good rappers without putting down each other, but Coi responds, ‘I reached out to her !! I f***ed with her !! Never said anything bad about her.’
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rico Nasty and Coi Leray were involved in an online argument on Twitter. It looked like the beef started after Coi provoked Rico by saying that she looked better and made “BETTER MUSIC” than her.
    “when you see me Just make sure you keep that same energy… I showed you love but you just can’t deal with that I MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN YOU , I LOOK BETTER THAN YOU, I DRESS BETTER THAN YOU , and never in my life I JOCKED your style,” Coi wrote on Monday, May 25 on the blue bird app. Quote-retweeting the post, Rico said, “I haven’t laughed this hard since idk when .

    “Make better music .. lemme see ya streams and YouTube views . Have u went gold or platinum THEEF**K U ARE FAMOUS BC YOU SUCK A MEAN D**K WITH THEM BIG A** TEETH,” Rico clapped back in a separate post. “Don’t come over here making this s**t about me . I was minding my business . Tryna get s**t RITE with MY FRIEND.”
    Not stopping there, Rico continued, “All y’all can suck my d**k.” Referring to a make-up artist that became friends with Coi after falling out with Rico, the latter added, “U wanna be cool with Scott so bad . I know so much s**t about u and I don’t even kno ur a** . Keep my name out of your mouth . On god.”
    When Coi reminded Rico that she’s “been out here for 5 years plus,” Rico responded, “Lmaoaooooa 5 years plus .. b***h my son not even 5 yet …. CUT THE S**T … 4 years baby gworl sold out ALL MY OWN TOURS over seas and USA … what’s up?”

    Rico Nasty and Coi Leray were beefing on Twitter.
    She went on tweeting, “WHAT HAVE U DONE ?????! WHAT HAVE U SOLD OUT BY YOURSELF????? AINT U FROM NEW YORK ???? Every show I’ve ever had out there has been SOLD OUT . I’m not doing this. Now go drop a single with this promo and it BETTER BE GOOD.”
    A fan then attempted to assure them that they both can be good rappers without putting down each other. In response to that, Coi wrote, “I reached out to her !! I f***ed with her !! Never said anything bad about her but the way she speaking on me is WACK … saying I ‘take her style’ B***H .huh?”
    Rico has yet to comment on Coi’s claim about her reaching out to her.
