    Defending himself for making a reference to the helicopter crash that killed the NBA legend in his song, he blames social media users who make ‘a narrative’ against him.

    Feb 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Meek Mill has spoken up after he came under fire for making a reference to Kobe Bryant’s tragic death in his yet-to-be-released song. The Philly rapper made use of his Twitter account defend himself after he became a trending topic on the platform for the wrong reason.
    Showing no remorse for the controversial lyric in his upcoming collaboration with Lil Baby, the “Tupac Back” spitter blamed critics’ “antics” for making “a narrative” against him. “somebody promo a narrative and y’all follow it…. y’all internet antics cannot stop me ….s**t like zombie land or something! Lol,” he wrote on Thursday, February 18.
    The 33-year-old star went on comparing the backlash to “mind control” as he wrote in a separate tweet, “They paying to influence y’all now … its almost like mind control ‘wake up.’ ”

    On Wednesday, a snippet surfaced online of Meek’s song featuring Baby in which he makes a reference to Kobe’s helicopter crash. “And if I ever lack I’m going out with my choppa it be another Kobe/ S**t I can tell they ain’t never know me,” he raps in the snippet.
    Baby also makes a reference to the former Los Angeles Lakers star. “I damn near wanna have a son so I can name him Kobe,” he spits in his part, but it’s Meek’s part which offended social media users to the point they’re dragging the “Ima Boss” emcee.
    “Absolutely not. Wth,” one reacted to the snippet. Another expressed his/her anger on Twitter as writing, “This is f**king disgusting.” A third critic slammed for the “Tupac Back” emcee, “Meek a f**king clown smh.”
    A fourth one agreed, adding, “Nah this ain’t it, at all.” Another reacted in disbelief, “Meek Mill said what about Kobe.. going out with your chopper?!” Someone else called him out for being “disrespectful” with the lyrics, tweeting, “F**k Meek Mill really disrespectful. Idgaf what anyone thinks.”

    Also putting Meek on blast was Wack 100, who previously engaged in a back-and-forth with the rapper over his run-in with Tekashi a.k.a. 6ix9ine. “Some metaphors SHOULD not be used .. Pretenders struggle to pretend when it’s not authentic – 1 man don’t speak for #Philli -Rip #Kobe&GIGI,” the music producer weighed in on the lyric while posting a picture of the late NBA star and his daughter Gianna, who was also killed in the helicopter accident.

    Post Malone Doesn't Hesitate to Say No to Idea of 6ix9ine Collab

    Instagram

    Fans love his response as one of them writes in an Instagram comment that the 25-year-old ‘Hollywood’s Bleeding’ musician is ‘too big for a tekashi feature anyway.’

    Feb 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Post Malone is among the top rappers in current hip-hop music industry. Many rappers might hope to collaborate with the “Hollywood’s Bleeding” musician and he welcomed the idea of working with another musician. However, it didn’t seem to be the case for Tekashi69 (6ix9ine).
    In a video posted by DJ Akademiks, Post could be seen being hounded by paparazzi in West Hollywood earlier this week. When asked about any artists whom he would like to work with in the future, Post responded, “I’ve worked with a lot of different artists…I met Robin Pecknold from Fleet Floxes today, which was one of my favorite bands since middle school.” He added, “And it was really cool to be able to meet him and vibe with him.”
    When one of the reporters asked if he would want to collaborate with the “FEFE” rapper, the 2021 Grammy Awards Album of the Year nominee politely declined, “Would I? Chances are, no.”

    Fans loved his response as one of them wrote in the comment section, “He said no respectfully.” Another fan added, “Post too big for a tekashi feature anyway.” Echoing the sentiment, one user said, “Post Malone too cool.”
    However, someone didn’t seem to buy Post’s words. “he capping. he’s gonna work w him sooner or later lmao,” the person alleged. Defending the “GOOBA” spitter, one person wrote, “69 wouldn’t work with him either.”
    Post has enjoyed a successful life and things are looking great for him this year as well. Despite the success, he never forgets to give back as he handed out a free pair of his custom-designed Crocs from Post Malone x Crocs Duet Max Clog collaboration to every single student at his alma mater Grapevine High School back in December 2020. Grapevine school principal Alex Fingers revealed the donation in a Twitter post that read, “Thank you @PostMalone for always giving back to your community! Your fellow @Grapevine_HS Mustangs are so proud of your success! #ThanksPosty #Posty.”
    Principal Fingers also made the announcement of the “Wow.” rapper’s charitable act through a video. Informing his students, he said, “One of our own Grapevine High School graduate Post Malone has noticed your work and decided to give you guys a little bit of something descending into the holiday season on the right foot.”
    “Post Malone does great and give him back to our community,” the educator continued to rave about the 25-year-old. “He loves Grapevine High School and the community that raised him here, and he wanted to do something to give back to his community that has kind of nurtured him and allowed him to have the levels of success that he’s had.”

    Bella Thorne Denies Dissing Ex-Girlfriend Tana Mongeau in New Song

    Instagram

    The former Disney actress has set the record straight on the online chatters suggesting she took a dig at her former girlfriend in her newly-released single.

    Feb 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Actress/singer Bella Thorne has shot down speculation suggesting her latest song is a dig at her ex-girlfriend Tana Mongeau.
    The “Shake It Up” star split from YouTube personality Mongeau in early 2019 after less than two years together, but the old relationship hit headlines on social media recently following the release of Bella’s track “Stupid F**king B**ch”.
    She also cast a blonde who looked strikingly similar to her ex to co-star in the accompanying music video, as Bella sings lines like, “You wanted me for clout, and I should’ve thrown you out/But I never resist the way you bite your lower lip.”
    She and Mongeau even traded barbs online after the promo dropped in December (20), indicating the track was all about their doomed romance, but pansexual Bella insists that isn’t the case.

    “It’s not (about Mongeau),” she told the New York Post’s Page Six. “The song is about people in your friend groups.”
    She continued, “Everyone kind of goes through this, where a new person comes in and you’re all, like, ‘Yeah, f**k yeah, I love this guy, he’s got great energy…’ and then that person slowly takes over your whole group, gets in there and things start to happen.”
    “You realise, maybe they’re not just friends with you because they’re being friends with you, maybe it’s these ulterior motives.”
    Bella goes on to insist “Stupid F**king B**ch” isn’t about any one particular person. “I just thought the hook is super catchy with ‘stupid f**king b**ch,’ so therefore it sounds like it’s about a female but it’s not really just about a female, it’s about this perspective of people that everyone can really relate to,” she said, before admitting writing about female relationships is “so intriguing.”
    “Whether you’re writing about dating them or f**king them or talking to them or just in general having a conversation with another woman, it’s so interesting,” Bella shared.

    The announcement follows the December release of the new dad’s latest track, “Afterglow”.
    ” ‘Afterglow’ is a song I wrote last year that I wanted to release for you,” he wrote. “It’s not the first single from the next album, it’s just a song I love, and hope you love too. Enjoy! Have a safe and happy festive break and New Year’s. Back to dad land for me now.”

    It marked the first new material from Ed since his 2019 album, “No.6 Collaborations Project”, which featured the likes of Stormzy, Khalid, Cardi B, Chance The Rapper and Eminem.
    In December 2019, the 29-year-old musician announced that he’s taking a break from making music. “Hello all. Gonna go on another break again,” he told his fans and followers on Instagram.
    “The Divide era and tour changed my life in so many ways, but now it’s all over it’s time to go out and see some more of the world,” he explained. “I’ve been a bit non stop since 2017 so I’m just gonna take a breather to travel, write and read. I’ll be off all social media until it’s time to come back.”

    Vince Gill Addresses Morgan Wallen Controversy When Debuting New Song About Racism

    Instagram

    When appearing on ‘CBS This Morning’, the ‘March On’ crooner expresses his disappointment at the ‘7 Summers’ singer since his N-word drama places country music as a target.

    Feb 18, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Vince Gill has debuted a new song about racism in country music after revealing he’s among the artists who have spoken sternly to Morgan Wallen after he was caught using the N-word in a TMZ video.
    The singer’s record deal has been suspended and his music has been pulled from hundreds of radio stations across America following the drama, and Gill admits he knew as soon as the controversy broke that country music would become a target.
    Dropping a snippet of his new track, “March On”, during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday, February 17, Gill said, “It was just disappointing. I knew that everybody was going to massacre country music. And white America, when they make the argument, ‘Well, I hear it (the N-word) in rap music all the time…,’ I go, ‘Have you not been paying attention to the last 300 to 400 years – how that word has been used by the white community?'”
    “It’s derogatory, dismissive and hurtful. It doesn’t have a place.”

      See also…

    In his new song, Gill sings, “We need to cause good trouble/Preach on brothers, sisters stay strong/hearts are changing, march on, march on.”
    [embedded content]
    As well as Gill, Maren Morris and her husband Ryan Hurd have spoken to Wallen, who has apologised for his racist remark and urged fans to stop defending him.
    Morris told CBS, “Morgan is a symptom of a much bigger disease of what our genre is right now,” while her husband, whose song “Heartless” was recorded by Wallen, added, “I don’t want it to seem like we’re piling on Morgan, but there’s no place for that word.”

    Kobe Bryant's Fans Fuming Over Meek Mill's Lyrics Referencing Helicopter Crash

    WENN/Avalon/Instar

    Twitter drags the ‘Tupac Back’ rapper after a snippet surfaces online of his upcoming collaboration with Lil Baby, in which he raps about the late NBA legend.

    Feb 18, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Meek Mill’s attempt to commemorate Kobe Bryant in one of his songs completely falls flat. The Philly rapper has enraged both music fans and devotees of the late NBA legend with lyrics in his yet-to-be-released song.
    On Wednesday, February 17, a snippet surfaced online on a fan page, previewing his upcoming collaboration with Lil Baby. In part of the track, the “Ima Boss” spitter is heard rapping, “And if I ever lack I’m going out with my choppa it be another Kobe/ S**t I can tell they ain’t never know me.”

    Baby also makes a reference to the former Los Angeles Lakers star. “I damn near wanna have a son so I can name him Kobe,” he spits in his part, but it’s Meek’s part which has irritated social media users to the point they’re dragging the 33-year-old star.

    “Absolutely not. Wth,” one reacted to the snippet. Another expressed his/her anger on Twitter as writing, “This is f**king disgusting.” A third critic slammed for the “Tupac Back” emcee, “Meek a f**king clown smh.”
    A fourth one agreed, adding, “Nah this ain’t it, at all.” Another reacted in disbelief, “Meek Mill said what about Kobe.. going out with your chopper?!” Someone else called him out for being “disrespectful” with the lyrics, tweeting, “F**k Meek Mill really disrespectful. Idgaf what anyone thinks.”

    Meek has not responded to the backlash over his song’s snippet. Weeks ago, he teased a collaboration with Baby and Lil Durk, but it’s unclear if the snippet in question is from the same track.
    Kobe died in a helicopter crash that also killed 8 others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, on January 26, 2020. He was 41 years old. On the first anniversary of his passing last month, the NBA barely made any mention about the former professional basketball player’s death, reportedly because they honored his widow Vanessa Bryant’s request for the organization to withhold any tributes to him this year.

    Chris Cornell's Widow Deems Soundgarden Self-Serving and Heartless in Clash Over Stake Buyout

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    Having been at war with Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd since her husband’s 2017 suicide, Vicky Cornell is asking a judge to intervene in their legal battle over buyout price.

    Feb 18, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Chris Cornell’s widow is asking a judge to intervene in her legal battle with his Soundgarden bandmates after she was allegedly offered just $300,000 (£216,000) to buy out her stake in the brand.
    Vicky Cornell has been at war with remaining members Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd ever since her husband’s suicide in 2017, previously suing over the ownership of unfinished songs and allegations of missing royalties.
    Now she is taking them to court again after failing to strike a deal over a buyout price, claiming she was offended by the “ludicrously low” offer of $300,000 for Chris’ share in the group partnership.
    According to court papers obtained by Variety, Vicky initially attempted to buy the trio out of the brand by offering them $4 million (£2.9 million) each, before upping the deal to $7 million (£5 million) apiece – but the rockers refused, and then came back with their counteroffer, based on an independent valuation, the details of which they have declined to provide to her.
    Vicky is refusing to believe the group’s assets are worth so little, and she is now demanding a court-ordered valuation to help settle the financial battle once and for all.

    “This action has been necessitated by the self-serving and heartless actions of the remaining members of the band Soundgarden, who are seeking to rob from their former bandmate, Chris Cornell, his wife, and their minor children, Chris’ legacy and life’s worth, which has made them millions of dollars,” the complaint reads.
    “The band members have knowingly offered only an infinitesimal fraction of the true worth of Chris’ interest in Soundgarden and certain related entities by making a ludicrously low offer. And, they know it… This case relates to, and seeks a judicial valuation of, Chris’ interest in Soundgarden (the band owned by the partnership of the same name) and certain related entities, including SG Recordings, SMF, SG Productions, and LLM (collectively, the Soundgarden Related Entities’).”
    However, it appears she will be in for a fight.
    In response, a representative for Soundgarden tells TMZ, “As requested by the Estate of Chris Cornell and as required by the laws of the State of Washington, the surviving members of Soundgarden submitted to the Cornell Estate four months ago a buy-out offer of the Estate’s interests in Soundgarden calculated by respected music industry valuation expert Gary Cohen.”
    “Since then, the band members have continued to try to settle all disputes with the Cornell Estate and in their several attempts to settle, the band members have elected to offer multiple times more than the amount calculated by Cohen.”
