    Niall Horan Channels Ron Burgundy to Reveal 'Heartbreak Weather' Tracklist

    Donning a burgundy suit and pink turtleneck in a similar fashion to Will Ferrell’s character in ‘Anchorman’, the British singer cleverly delivers the song titles off his upcoming album.
    Feb 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Niall Horan has gone quirky for the reveal of the tracklist for “Heartbreak Weather”. On Thursday, February 20, the One Direction member released a special video wherein he channeled Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy from “Anchorman” to unveil the 14 new song titles off his upcoming second solo album.
    In the two-minute clip, the 26-year-old Irish singer donned pink turtleneck under a burgundy suit and transformed into an alter ego named Niall Storm. “Thank you so much for tuning into ‘Heartbreak Weather.’ This crazy little thing they call love isn’t ‘Black And White’ after all, and neither is this crazy little thing they call weather. So be sure to exercise your ‘Dear Patience,’ ” he began.
    The ex-boyfriend of Hailee Steinfeld went on to name another track as he quipped, “Remember, these falling blocks of ice just don’t ‘Bend the Rules,’ they break your windshield, too.” He continued on, “Temperatures will be falling and so will the snow. So expect to see some ‘New Angels’ being made all over the city.”
    Horan’s fake weather report further unveiled such tracks as “Arms of Stranger”, “Everywhere”, “Nice To Meet Ya”, “Put A Little Love On Me”, “Cross Your Mind”, “No Judgement”, “San Francisco” and “Still” are also making it into his new records.

    “Heartbreak Weather” is a follow-up to Horan’s 2017 solo debut, “Flicker”. It is set to be released on March 13. Some of its tracks, “No Judgement”, “Nice to Meet Ya” and “Put a Little Love on Me”, have been previously released, but its title track is suggested to be released on February 28.
    Speaking about how he came up with the LP title, Horan opened up in an interview with iHeart Radio’s Most Requested Live, “Heartbreak Weather was the first thing that I ever wrote down. “When I started, [I was] like, ‘How do I write a break-up album that doesn’t sound sobby throughout, and really selfish?’ So I just wrote down the phrase ‘heartbreak weather,’ I don’t know where it came from…”

    Ne-Yo Says He Doesn't 'Feel Bad' About Crystal Smith Divorce on 'Pinky Ring'

    Recalling the time when his estranged wife returned her wedding ring, the R’n’B singer rhymes on the O.T. Genasis collaboration, ‘I turned it to a pinky ring.’
    Feb 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ne-Yo is opening up about his separation from wife Crystal Smith through his music. Linking up with O.T. Genasis, the R&B singer put out a single entitled “Pinky Ring” that finds him addressing the estranged couple’s divorce.
    Recalling the time when Smith first returned her wedding ring, Ne-Yo sings, “She gave back the wedding ring/ I turned it to a pinky ring.” Despite that, the “Miss Independent” singer doesn’t feel hurt at all as he continues rhyming to the beat, “I do not feel bad/ I gave her everything/ Now it’s on to better things.”
    Elsewhere on the song, he sings, “I’m so sick of love songs, I just caught the flu/ Even when I don’t do no wrong, she think I do/ So I’m about to turn this s**t back into the truth.”

    Prior to the release of the song, Ne-Yo made it clear that “Pinky Ring” is not a diss track against her ex-partner. “The song is about the way I chose to handle the situation, the way I chose to lift myself up and keep moving as we all must do,” he said in an episode of “Private Talk with Alexis Texas” podcast series.
    Ne-Yo confirmed his separation from Smith earlier this month only a few days before their four-year marriage anniversary. “I’s slowly but surely becoming public knowledge that myself and my wife have decided to go ahead and get a divorce,” he said. “She’s got demons just like everybody else, just like me.”
    He added, “We realize that our demons don’t mesh and until both of us get a hold of our personal demons, it’s gonna be just difficult for us to stay married. With that being said, that’s that, that’s the end of that chapter, not the end of the book. Like I said, that’s the mother of my kids and I love her to death. We’re going to be family forever.”

    Rascal Flatts Insist They Still Get Along Despite Decision to Retire

    WENN/Judy Eddy

    Ridden by rumors of discord since his band announced their farewell tour, bassist Jay DeMarcus assures that their upcoming split was not a decision they reached lightly.
    Feb 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Country music stars Rascal Flatts faced a “very tough decision” to retire as a trio because the love they share for one another is stronger than ever.
    Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus recently announced they would be calling it quits as a band after a farewell tour this summer, and the singers are keen to make it clear the upcoming split isn’t due to any in-fighting.
    Asked about the social media rumours during a special Country Music Association event in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, February 19, DeMarcus assured fans, “That’s really not the case. We love each other, probably more now than we ever did when we first started. We just got to this point in the road where it’s forking and we’re entering new seasons of our lives.”
    He added, “This is a decision that we didn’t reach lightly. It was a very tough decision and is going to be a very sad, bittersweet year, but it’s something we think is the best for our lives right now. We still all get along. We didn’t arrive in separate vehicles.”
    The “Here Comes Goodbye” hitmakers are set to begin their final run of shows in June, and they are already dreading the waterworks that will inevitably occur during their last scheduled concert, which will take place in Nashville in October.
    “It’s going to be really, really sad and it’s going to be emotional,” DeMarcus shared. “This time next year when there’s no tour planned and I can’t look over to my right and see my cousin (Gary) and Joe Don standing next to me, it’s going to be (tough)…”
    “This has been the (biggest) part of my life for most of my adult life. So it’s going to be a really sad thing. That’s all I can say.”
    Sharing his thanks to fans for their 20 years of support, Rooney added, “We’ve been one of the fortunate ones to do this for a very long time. It’ll be so bittersweet to play that last note on guitar and hear that last note down low on bass, hear Gary hit the stratosphere.”
    “There’s so much love and so much appreciation for everything we’ve gotten to do. It’s going to be an exciting year. It’s going to be a heavy year. It’s going to be, I think, an amazing journey this year of all the years we’ve been together. And I don’t know how I’m gonna feel (at the final show)… There’s a lot to be thankful for.”

    Snoop Dogg Convinces Lil' Kim Lovers & Friends Festival Is Not a Scam

    Instagram

    Though she initially distanced herself from the inaugural festival, the ‘Lighters Up’ rapper confirms her participation following a direct intervention by the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker.
    Feb 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lil’ Kim has credited hip-hop heavyweight Snoop Dogg for saving the day after initially denying plans to perform at California’s inaugural Lovers & Friends festival.
    Fans were left fearing another Fyre Festival disaster this week (begins February 17) after Kim, along with fellow rappers Ma$e and Twista, distanced themselves from the new gig following the release of the star-studded line-up, headlined by Lauryn Hill, Usher, Ludacris, Lil Jon and TLC.
    According to promoters at events company Goldenvoice – the same firm behind Coachella, Jhene Aiko, Megan Thee Stallion, Summer Walker, Nelly, T-Pain, Sean Paul, Ja Rule, Brandy, Monica, Eve, Ginuwine, Cam’ron and SWV are also billed to take the stage during the one-day bash in Los Angeles on 9 May.
    However, Kim quickly dismissed the claims, sharing the poster on her Instagram Stories timeline and declaring, “This is so fake! I am not a part of this.”

    Fellow rapper Ma$e also used social media to request promoters “pls (please) take my name off of this flyer,” while Twista claimed he wasn’t confirmed because he had yet to receive his advance. “Ain’t no deposit hit my account for this show (sic),” he wrote online.
    “Slow Jamz” hitmaker Twista soon told fans he would now be playing the gig, updating them by posting, “Locked and loaded playin all the hits ya diggg (sic).”
    Now Kim has also cleared up any issues with Goldenvoice officials after an intervention by Snoop, who was revealed to be one of the concert’s promoters and reached out to the “Lighters Up” star himself.
    “Lil’ Kim, get at me on the DM (direct message) so we can get at you about this money (sic),” Snoop wrote.

    It appears he managed to smooth over relations between Kim and event bosses, as she will be in attendance after all.
    “THE CHECK HAS CLEARED,” she declared on Instagram on Thursday (February 20), as she shared the festival poster with followers.
    “Thank uncle @snoopdogg guys cause if it wasn’t for him this would not be happening but y’all know how much I love Cali and Uncle Snoop. See ya’ll May 9th, 2020 @loversandfriendsfest (sic).”

    It’s not yet clear if Ma$e, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ former protege, will also be among the acts performing at the festival following his initial statement.

    Travis Scott Honors Pop Smoke With Snippet of Unreleased Collaboration

    Instagram

    The new snippet follows the ‘Highest in the Room’ rapper and the late hip-hop star’s collaboration ‘Gatti’ that peaked at No. 69 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
    Feb 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Travis Scott (II) has his own way in paying tribute to Pop Smoke. Hours after his “Gatti” collaborator was gunned down in what appears to be a home invasion robbery, the “Highest in the Room” hitmaker honored the slain rapper by sharing a snippet of their unreleased song.
    Taking to Instagram Story on the same day of Smoke’s tragic passing, Scott uploaded a video of him driving while the track, which reportedly supposed to be his second collaboration with the slain rapper, played in the background. Near the 15-second clip, the word “Dior” could be heard being repeated, which might refer to a bonus track in Smoke’s 2019 album “Meet the Woo Vol. 1”.
    [embedded content]
    Scott joined forces with Smoke in 2019 for “Gatti” which is featured on the “Sicko Mode” rapper’s project with his Cactus Jack labelmates Sheck Wes and Don Toliver titled “JACKBOYS”. The track was co-written by Smoke, and peaked at No. 69 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, making it the slain MC’s first entry on the chart.
    [embedded content]
    Smoke was shot and killed on Wednesday, February 19, morning. The 20-year-old rapper, whose real name is Bashar Barakah Jackson, was at his home in the Hollywood Hills, California when two intruders broke into the property wearing masks and hoodies. They reportedly fired multiple shots before fleeing on foot.
    It is still unclear whether the “Welcome to the Party” spitter knew the shooters, but he was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood. The suspects remain free and have not been identified yet, although police have arrested and released one man.
    Since news of Smoke’s tragic passing broke out, other hip hop artists have taken to social media to mourn the loss. Nicki Minaj shared a photo of the young rapper with a caption that read, “The Bible tells us that jealousy is as cruel as the grave. Unbelievable. Rest In Peace, Pop.” 50 Cent, in the meantime, wrote in his tribute, “R.I.P to my man Pop Smoke, No sympathy for winners. God bless him.”
    Snoop Dogg put out a clip of their performance together. “Young tycoon gone2soon had a blast wit ya,” he wrote alongside the video. “c u when I get there.” Chance the Rapper, on the other hand, tweeted, “Rest Up Pop Smoke, you were too young. God Bless and comfort your family. What a crazy trajectory you were on man smh.”

    Model Broderick Hunter Calls Iggy Azalea 'Black Queen of Rap' and Internet Is Confused

    Instagram

    Taking to his Twitter account, the 29-year-old model says, ‘Just wanna let y’all know Iggy Azalea was the black Queen of rap we deserved but y’all let her slip through the cracks.’
    Feb 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Broderick Hunter made some confusing comments on Wednesday, February 19. The model successfully got a lot of his Twitter followers baffled when he took to the bird site to heap praises for Iggy Azalea and even call her the “black queen of rap.”
    Alongside a GIF of a black man getting into a car while laughing, Broderick wrote, “Before I hit these meetings, just wanna let y’all know Iggy Azalea was the black Queen of rap we deserved but y’all let her slip through the cracks. We’ll save that for a later conversation.”

    Broderick Hunter praised Iggy Azalea.
    Though there’s a chance that he might be trolling, people were still sent to confusion the moment they read his post. “Broderick, you okay, baby? Everything alright at home?” someone asked, while another commented, “Ew. After all these years of lusting after you I’m finally disappointed.” One other refused to believe Broderick made the comment himself as saying, “I really hope someone hacked your Twitter because this ain’t it baby.”
    “It’s too early for this man… Save this when west coast twitter is up too… we need all the help with this one,” a different person wrote. “None of this tweet makes sense to me. Am I not getting the sarcasm???” another seemed confused, as someone else reminded him, “It’s Black history month. Have some respect on our name.”
    There were also people who thought that he might be mistaking Azealia Banks for Iggy. “I think you meant to say Azealia Banks sweetheart,” one person said. “Did u mean azealia banks? Cuz none of this added up. Not even the gif,” someone told him, while another echoed, “This is Iggy I think you meant Azealia Banks which she’s talented but won’t get out of her own way so she’s problematic.”
