    Ozzy Osbourne's Son Compares Him to The Beatles and Rolling Stones Legends

    Instagram

    Jack Osbourne ranks his rocker father, the Black Sabbath frontman, ‘among the Paul McCartneys and Mick Jaggers of the world’ in terms of his career success.
    May 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jack Osbourne had nothing but praise for his rocker dad’s musical legacy in a new interview about his career success.
    The former Black Sabbath frontman gets candid about his long struggle with substance abuse, trouble with the law, Parkinson’s battle, and marital issues with his manager wife Sharon in new documentary “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne”.
    Son Jack is among those close to the star who features in the programme and, speaking to Collider ahead of the release this summer 2020, Jack acclaimed him as being “among the Paul McCartneys and Mick Jaggers of the world” in terms of his career success.
    He explained, “It’s a very small class of people. When you look at his peers, which he wouldn’t consider his peers ’cause he just doesn’t think that way…”
    “He would never consider himself to be in that group, but he is, and it’s a dwindling group of entertainer,” Jack gushed. “But yet, there’s a relatability to my dad, and I’m not sure everyone can necessarily relate to some of the world’s most famous, known recording artists.”
    Jack – one of Ozzy and Sharon’s three kids, along with sisters Kelly and Aimee – also said that he hopes that the documentary will show people that Ozzy “isn’t just a one-dimensional figure, if they ever thought that he was.”
    “There are many aspects to him, and this is a good look at that. Because of the persona that people have seen my father as, it’s always, ‘What’s wrong with him?’ But I think this documentary rephrases it as, ‘What happened to him?’ ” he shared.
    “My dad has had a very fortunate life, but it’s been filled with a lot of turmoil, some of it self-inflicted and some completely out of his hands. (The documentary) is an interesting look at that.”
    “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne” is set to premiere on U.S. network A&E.

    Fat Joe Advises DMX to Call Off Rap Battle With Eminem

    WENN

    Weighing on the possible VERZUZ battle between the two rap stars, the ‘What’s Luv?’ rapper shares his belief that the ‘X Gon’ Give It to Ya’ hitmaker will lose to his ‘Lean Back’ collaborator.
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fat Joe has urged fellow rapper DMX to rethink his upcoming rap battle with Eminem – because there’s no way he can win.
    Producer N.O.R.E. recently let it slip that VERZUZ battle series bosses Timbaland and Swizz Beatz were setting up a battle royale between Slim Shady and DMX, during which the two hip-hop icons will go head-to-head with a selection of their biggest hits.
    But as the world awaits the rap battle for the ages, Eminem’s “Lean Back” collaborator Fat Joe is urging DMX to call it off or taste a crushing defeat.
    “I don’t think nobody can f**k with Eminem,” Joe told Drink Champs podcast stars Lenny S, DJ EFN, and N.O.R.E. “DMX got the biggest hits in the world, one of the greatest rappers of all time. Legendary, iconic, superhero. And everything I’m saying is understating, he’s bigger than that.”
    “But there’ something about that white boy (Eminem) and his fans.”
    And to prove his point, Fat Joe recalled the work Eminem put in on the “Lean Back” track, revealing, “He sent me that same verse 30 different times, saying it with a different tone, lighter tone… he wouldn’t make up his mind. 30 different takes and verses… The same verse…! Different flows… This dude is such a perfectionist.”

    Meanwhile, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer have been confirmed as the latest stars to battle via VERZUZ on Instagram Live this weekend, May 23.
    “MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 5/23 @grunggaadzilla vs @kingbeenieman… Sound Clash edition. You ready?!? #VERZUZ,” a post on the rap battle venture’s website reads.

    The two dancehall giants have a real-life rivalry, which hit a peak when Beenie Man married Bounty Killa’s former lover, Michelle Downer (D’Angel). They have since played down the feud and last year (19) shared a stage at the 2019 Reggae Sumfest.

    WENN/Judy Eddy

    In a separate Twitter post, the ‘FOX Soul’ host criticizes those who try to justify the bully, writing, ‘So yall can justify trying to scare a little 15 year old black girl.’
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Claudia Jordan learns how dangerous it is to get involved first hand with Nicki Minaj’s fans. The TV personality shared on her Twitter account that after making some critical remarks about the Trinidadian rapper in a recent episode of the interactive TV show “FOX Soul”, the Barbz started threatening her family members.
    “WOW now the Barbz have gone too far. Threatening to ‘BEAT HER’ my 69 year old mother & now harassing my 15 year old niece?” Claudie wrote on Wednesday, May 20. “At the end of the day what will this accomplish but keep your karma bad & get you bought up on charges? WE stay protected-KNOW THIS. #OverATalkShowConvo smh.”

    Claudia Jordan claimed that Nicki Minaj’s harassed her family.
    In a separate post, she went on to criticize those who try to justify the bully. “So yall can justify trying to scare a little 15 year old black girl- like times aint challenging enough without you barbz being so ridiculous. I hope yall feel good about yourselves. But then again you have to be brainless & soul less to think that is cool or funny. Way to go!” Claudia tweeted.
    In response to her posts, a fan told her that “they are going to be on your neck for life. I’ve been apart of the fan base from the start once you pick a fight the grudge is held on to for life.” The fan continued, “I don’t support any threats but I’m sad you don’t see the issue with what you said. Did you hear what Tamar Braxton said?” referring to when Tamar said, “You can’t get too involved in the Barbz and the Queen Bees.”
    “Oh so now you want to play the victim LOL okay,” another fan wrote. One fan of Nicki, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, then warned Claudia, “Keep Onika name out ya mouth next time sis!!”
    Claudia angered the Barbz with her recent remarks on “Fox Soul” where she discussed comparison between Nicki and Lil’ Kim made by Usher. “Why are they mad at saying Lil’ Kim paved the way? She did!…What’s wrong with that?…I don’t know why the fans are getting so mad at Usher,” said Claudia.
    Usher sparked an online debate regarding the two rappers after he said that “Nicki is a product of Kim” during an episode of “Verzuz” with Swizz Beatz on Sunday, May 17. His remark quickly gained reactions from social media users as Swizz alerted Usher, “You already trending on Twitter right now, by the way.” He went on enthusing, “This is the ‘Verzuz’ effect, king. I see you trending on Twitter! This is special, this is fun.”

Can’t wait for you to see @thehighnotefilm on May 29!”

    Tracee released “Love Myself” on May 14. During an online streaming that gathered the likes of her mother and other friends, including Michelle Obama, Janelle Monae, Lena Waithe, Sarah Paulson and Kerry Washington, she confessed that she dreamed to be a singer when she was a child, but her fear got the best of her.
    “This movie I get to sing and my mom who’s on [the live] is Diana Ross and whether consciously or unconsciously as a kid I took that dream of mine to be a singer and I hid it. I hid it away,” she explained. “I got so scared to sing that it became this dream that I was afraid of and at 47 years old, I faced that dream.”
    To be made available through VOD platforms on May 29, “The High Note” is directed by Nisha Ganatra, and is written by Flora Greeson. It will see Tracee starring opposite Dakota Johnson, who portrays Davis’s overworked personal assistant who despite being stuck running errands, still aspires to be a music producer.

    “We love you and can’t thank you enough for being on this journey with us! Thank you for understanding. Stay safe, Rascal Flatts”.

    The now-scrapped tour had been due to kick off in June, and wrap in Nashville, Tennessee in October.

    Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox Make Out in Steamy Music Video Amid Hookup Rumors

    The rapper and the ‘Transformers’ actress have added fuel to their hookup rumors as they’re playing a couple in a steamy music video for his new single ‘Bloody Valentine’.
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are fuelling romance rumours by playing lovers in the rapper/rocker’s new video.
    Kelly released the promo for “Bloody Valentine” on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 and introduced the “Transformers” star as his twisted onscreen girlfriend amid reports the pair is dating for real following Megan’s split from her husband, Brian Austin Green.
    The video begins with Kelly waking to find his lover has bound him. She then tapes his mouth shut and dances around his house in her sleepwear, miming the words to his song while tormenting him and kissing his neck. At one point Fox shares a sauna room with Kelly as the hitmaker sings, “I can’t hide how I feel about you.” She also electrocutes her rumoured boyfriend by dropping a hairdryer in a bath he’s taking.
    The promo ends with the ungagged Kelly and Fox almost locking lips.

    Rumours of a romance began circulating last week when the couple was photographed together in Los Angeles, and Green addressed the story while confirming he and his wife of seven years had split during his podcast on Monday, revealing he has yet to meet Kelly, real name Colson Baker.
    “She met this guy, Colson, on set,” the actor said. “I’ve never met him. Megan and I have talked about him. They’re just friends at this point.”
    But Brian was keen to make it clear that his estranged wife’s relationship with the rapper was not behind their split.
    “I don’t want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way,” he added.
    Fox and Kelly, who will also star in upcoming movie “Midnight in the Switchgrass”, have yet to respond to rumours of a romance.

    Iggy Azalea Calls Azealia Banks 'Dumb' for Threatening to Get Her Song Removed

    Instagram

    The ‘Black Widow’ raptress responds after the ‘212’ hitmaker announces that she has trademarked ‘p***ypop’ and taunts the Aussie star, ‘positively will come after her for using one of my Brand Names.’
    May 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Iggy Azalea is not letting Azealia Banks’ mean-spirited posts ruin her mood. The Australian star, who is reported to have recently welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Playboi Carti, has responded after her longtime nemesis claimed to have trademarked the word “p***ypop” and threatened to get Iggy’s song “P***y” removed.
    Instead of getting worked up, the 29-year-old raptress doesn’t seem to be bothered by Azealia’s threat. “Actually that’s not the way copy right works,” she posted on Twitter on Tuesday, May 19 after learning of the New York City’s artist’s announcement. “I don’t sell soap names that so it doesn’t matter. That’s not even how trademark works.” Calling out Azealia, she added, “The girls are dumb. Move on.”
    Iggy went on arguing why Azealia’s threat misfired, “Also my track list is P***y Pop not ‘p***ypop’. It isn’t even the word she has trademarked.” She went on telling her fans to stop worrying about this, writing, “Please stop feeding into this type of dumb s**t & ignore her I hate seeing you guys get upset or worried about nonsense.”
    Earlier on the same day, Azealia took to her Instagram Stories to announce, “I officially own the trademarks for P***YPOP & BUSSYBOY. Today is an excellent day.” Taunting her nemesis, she added in the post, “@thenewclassic I would have your team remove ‘P***ypop’ before things get ugly.”
    “Definitely have proof of usage prior to her song release as well as a slew of disparaging tweets from her about my company. Absolutely, positively will come after her for using one of my Brand Names,” she went on claiming, before making her point, “Can’t make a song called ‘Doritos’ if the CEO of Doritos does not approve of usage. I do not approve of usage.”

    Many have since slammed Azealia for her petty move, with one commenting, “She gotta be embarrassed at this point . Bc I am for her.” Another called her out, “She’s soo bitter sheesh,” while some others called her “miserable” and “toxic.”
    Someone else slammed her as “mentally ill,” while a fan of Iggy warned her to “leave iggy alone. F**k.” Fed up with her bitterness, one other complained, “Azealia really gotta grow up, this behavior is so tired and boring at this point.”
