    [embedded content]

    Prior to the release of the visuals, the ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker shares the inspiration behind the clip, including Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ music video and ‘The Matrix’.
    Feb 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lil Nas X and Nas have released a thrilling music video for “Rodeo”. Less than a month after debuting the remix at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, the “Old Town Road” hitmaker and the “Street Dreams” rapper are treating their devotees with the promo that is jammed-packed with pop culture references.
    Unleashed on Thursday, February 6, the clip opens with Lil Nas picking up a phone call in a neon green phone booth. A voice can be heard saying, “Remember me? I want to play a game?” Before he manages to leave the booth, he gets bitten in the neck and soon transforms into a vampire. Stumbling through a suburb, he shows off his dance moves while people around him try to keep him away.
    It is not until the 20-year-old embraces his transformation, complete with black leather jumpsuit, dramatic spikes and blinged-out fangs, that his collaborator Nas makes his appearance. Channeling Laurence Fishburne’s Morpheus, the 46-year-old MC offers the “Panini” spitter an option between red and blue pills. Near the end of the video, a group of assassins show up and try to shoot him down.
    One day prior to the video release, Lil Nas shared with his Instagram and Twitter followers where he drew inspiration for the visuals of his latest track. On both social media page, he posted a scene capture from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett’s “Vampire in Brooklyn”, Sarah Michelle Gellar’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and Keanu Reeves’ “The Matrix”.

    Through Twitter, Nas X has also set the record straight about his original collaborator of the track, Cardi B. Shooting down speculations of feud between the two of them, he stressed, “I didn’t ‘kick’ cardi off of rodeo. she couldn’t do the video.” He added, “we cool tho.”

    Christian Guy to Sue NFL Over J.Lo and Shakira's Dangerous Halftime Show at Super Bowl

    Ohio native Dave Daubenmire states in a Facebook video that he’s forced to turn off the halftime show because he doesn’t want to ‘let that spirit in my house’ is angered about the crotch shots.
    Feb 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez and Shakira undeniably stunned many people with their amazing performance during the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in Miami on Sunday, February 2. However, the set was apparently too hot to handle for some people including Christian activist Dave Daubenmire.
    During his “Pass the Salt” podcast, Daubenmire blasted the 15-minute dance routines which were filled with “crotches and pole dancing” that kept him “from getting into the kingdom of heaven.” He revealed that he was planning to sue the NFL, Pepsi and his local cable company.
    The Ohio native said that he was forced to turn off the halftime show because he didn’t want to “let that spirit in my house” was angered about the crotch shots. Sharing in a Facebook video, he asked for a lawyer to help him file a lawsuit for “pandering pornography” and “contributing to the delinquency of a minor.”
    “I tuned in to watch a football game. I didn’t tune in to watch a porn show,” said Daubenmire. He then made very creepy analogy about having “attractive” daughters and how he can’t bring them to their school to pole dance and twerk.
    “I think we ought to sue. Would that halftime show, would that have been rated PG? Were there any warnings that your 12-year-old son — whose hormones are just starting to operate — was there any warning that what he was going to see might cause him to get sexually excited?” he continued.
    “Could I go into a courtroom and say, ‘Viewing what you put on that screen put me in danger of hellfire?’ ” he said. “Are we going to protect our children or not?”
    “Could the court say, ‘That doesn’t apply here because the right to [produce] porn overrides your right to [not] watch it?’ Yeah, well, you didn’t tell me I was gonna watch it! You just brought it into my living room. You didn’t tell me there were gonna be crotch shots! That’s discriminatory against the value I have in my house. You can’t just do that. I wanna sue them for about $867 trillion,” he went on sharing.

    Kicking off the set was Shakira, who belted out one of her classics. “She Wolf”, before launching into portions of “Empire”, “Whenever Wherever” and “Hips Don’t Lie” among other bangers. J. Lo followed suit, performing “Jenny from the Block”, “Get Right” and “On the Floor”. The two Latin superstars ended their nearly 15-minute performance by performing together, with Shakira delivering a portion of her another hit “Waka Waka”.

    WENN/PNP/Avalon

    In one of his tweets, the rapper tells the Grammy-winning singer to ‘stop putting us on such a high pedestal because you feel we should or shouldn’t do something.’
    Feb 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Styles P has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Billie Eilish’s recent comment about hip-hop music. The rapper went on a rant against the Grammy-winning songstress after she claimed that a lot of rappers are lying in their songs, prompting him to question why should she care about hip-hop when she’s not even a rapper.
    In one of his tweets, Styles admitted Billie had a point in her comments, but he had another reason why he didn’t take her comments well. “Who is Billie eilish ? Why the f**k do we care what she thinks ?? And she is sorta Of right but she don’t get the culture nor is she part of it so why do we give a f**k ?” he wrote. “How or why is her opinion important to us ?”

    He elaborated in a separate tweet, “Rappers can say whatever the f**k the (sic) want and pretty much all rappers lie .. if you don’t like it the (sic) Don’t listen and mind your damn business..” Spices also pointed out that “rappers are human and eat s**t and bleed and cry just like you . Stop putting us on such a high pedestal because you feel we should or shouldn’t do something . Grow up.”

    In another tweet, Spices admitted to lying in a lot of rhymes. However, “those lies got me to be able to live nice and do nice s**t .. if you don’t like something don’t listen to it.”

    His post soon garnered attention as some came to attack him, but Spices stood by his comments and hit back at them. “Why are rappers held up to a standard no one else is ? Is Martin Scorsese and Bobby D living that life ?? Is Sylvester Stallone out here shooting shot up like in rambo ? No!!! And why does she care if she ain’t a rapper,” he told one of his followers.
    On the other hand, Billie still remains tight-lips.

    Taylor Swift Joins Forces With First Female-Led Music Publishing Company in New Universal Deal

    WENN/Adriana M. Barraza

    Extending her partnership with the Universal Music family, the ‘Lover’ singer expresses her appreciation for the opportunity to work with ‘advocate for women’s empowerment’ Jody Gerson.
    Feb 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift has signed a new deal with Universal Music Publishing Group executives as her feud with former label bosses rumbles on.
    The 30-year-old singer has inked an exclusive global publishing agreement with Universal heavyweight Lucian Grainge and his company, cementing her place as one of the group’s biggest acquisitions following her departure from Big Machine – the label she signed with when she was a teenager.
    “I’m proud to extend my partnership with Lucian Grainge and the Universal Music family by signing with UMPG, and for the opportunity to work with Jody Gerson, the first woman to run a major music publishing company,” Swift said in a press release. “Jody is an advocate for women’s empowerment and one of the most-respected and accomplished industry leaders.”

    Gerson, the chairman and CEO of UMPG, added: “We are honored to welcome Taylor Swift to UMPG. Using her power and voice to create a better world, Taylor’s honest and brave songwriting continues to be an inspiration to countless fans. We look forward to further amplifying Taylor’s voice and songs across the globe.”

    Swift’s new deal will mean she will continue to work with Troy Tomlinson, the chairman and CEO of UMPG Nashville, calling him “an amazing part of my team for over half my life and a passionate torchbearer for songwriters.”
    Tomlinson adds, “I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Taylor since she was 14-years-old, and she still amazes me daily. The true definition of a multigenerational artist and songwriter, Taylor’s songs, vision and unwavering determination have always been an inspiration. I am so happy and so proud to continue representing Taylor and her music, and I am confident that UMPG will be the best, most creative partner in providing unparalleled opportunities for her songs.”
    According to a UMPG press release, the new deal “strengthens the partnership between Swift and the Universal Music family”. The singer already has a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group and its offshoot, Republic Records, for her recorded music.
    The agreement comes as Taylor continues to battle Big Machine’s Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta over the rights to her past work.
    Borchetta sold Big Machine to Braun last year (19) without consulting Swift or offering her the chance to buy back her hit recordings. She has since announced plans to re-record her pre-Universal albums.

    The ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker says she doesn’t care and has no plan to address the controversy surrounding her problematic Rosa Parks lyrics in new song called ‘Yikes’.
    Feb 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Nicki Minaj doesn’t care about controversy surrounding her new song “Yikes”. She is accused of disrespecting the late civil rights icon Rosa Parks, but she has no plan to explain herself.
    On February 3, one day before what would have been Parks’ birthday, she released a snippet of the song featuring lyrics, “All you b**ches Rosa Parks / Uh oh, get your a** up.”
    Sources connected to the “Pink Friday” rapper previously claimed she meant no disrespect to the activist who defiantly stayed seated when asked to relinquish her seat to a white passenger in 1954. The sources additionally said the timing was just an unlucky coincidence.
    However, Nicki denied ever making such comments. “Never said this,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Had no clue anyone was mad. Don’t care. #Yikes.”

    Nicki Minaj doens’t care about controversy surrounding her new song
    Her remarks added fuels to the criticisms. “You know it’s sad when the black people don’t even care about the black people in black history month,” one lamented. Another commented, “One minute she claim to be a victim, next she don’t care?” One other added, “Maam we don’t care either that you cried abt getting yo a** beaten. #YIKES.”
    Meanwhile, a different individual brought up her brother’s legal woes, “I mean was else do you expect from a rape apologist? The bar was already low so I’m not shocked by anything this woman does anymore. Ignoring her is free.”
    Her fans were quick to jump in her defense. One said, “Everybody so sensitive now. Nicki Minaj Rosa park lyric not that outrageous.” Another claimed, “It doesn’t matter,,y’all will always still be mad with her.”

    Selena Gomez Admits to Cringing Over Her Previous Music

    WENN/Dave Bedrosian

    During an interview with Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas, the former Disney darling also confesses to feeling scared that her new album ‘Rare’ could have ‘completely flopped.’
    Feb 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Selena Gomez is impartial when it comes to her style of music in the beginning of her career. Fronting the Spring 2020 issue of Dazed, the “Lose You to Love Me” hitmaker answered a series of questions from her famous colleagues, and shared her thoughts on the one thing that made her cringe when she looked back at her career.
    In response to the question thrown by music producer Finneas, the 27-year-old songstress candidly admitted, “My style of music and my style in general. It was just not a great combination.” She added, “I’m proud of all the music I released, of course, but it was just such a different time that sometimes when I hear it, I’m like, ‘Oh no!’ ”
    The older brother of Billie Eilish has also quizzed the ex-girlfriend of Justin Bieber, “As a musician who has now been performing professionally for over a decade, what is one thing you look back on in your early career and love?” To which, she simply pointed out, “I would say that (I love) my innocence.”
    Elsewhere in the interview, the Alex Russo of “Wizards of Waverly Place” weighed in on the scariest part of releasing an album after four years. “That no one would like it and my career as a singer would be over,” she confessed. “I genuinely thought that. I worked so, so hard on this album.”
    “It could have come out and completely flopped, and then it’s like, well, where do you go from here? I would have questioned everything because I doubt myself and that’s where I would have ended up – in a spiral,” Gomez confided. “So I’m glad that it’s doing well. But I did everything I could to make it as personal and real (as possible).”
    When Bad Bunny brought up her Latin root and asked if she feels like she represents Latinos, the “Come & Get It” singer responded, “One thousand per cent.” She explained, “I’m always very vocal about my background, as far as me talking about immigration, and my grandparents having to come across the border illegally.”
    “I wouldn’t have been born (otherwise). I have such an appreciation for my last name,” she continued on. “I’ve re-released a lot of music in Spanish as well, and that’s something that’s gonna happen a bit more. So there’s a lot more I would love to do because I don’t take it lightly, I’m very honored.”
