    Ceraadi Calls Out Saweetie and Doja Cat for Copying Their 'BFF' Song for 'Best Friend'

    Instagram

    Saweetie responds to the RnB hip-hop duo’s post on Instagram about the alleged plariagism with what seems to be a sarcastic comment, prompting applause from Instagram users.

    Jan 7, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The music video of Saweetie and Doja Cat’s upcoming collaborative track “Best Friend” has yet to be officially released, but it has already caused controversy. On Wednesday, January 6, a Doja Cat stan account shared a sneak peek at the visuals and R&B hip-hop duo Ceraardi thought that it looked and sounded like their track “BFF”.
    Taking to their Instagram account, the group shared a side-by-side comparison picture from their music video and Doja & Saweetie’s visuals for the new track. The group highlighted some similar scenes including those featuring the twosome riding a car and dancing in front of their car.
    Ceraadi also attached some screenshot of tweets that backed up their accusations. “that new saweetie and doja looks fun but i can’t help but think of ceraadi’s song they just dropped last year…,” one tweet read. “look up BFF by ceraadi very similar sounds. that’s all imma say,” another person said, while someone else responded, “wow, just watched it, the beat is kinda similar + the aesthetic…”

    Captioning the post, Ceraadi left several emojis and tagged both Saweetie and Doja. Saweetie apparently noticed the tag and responded in the comment section, “Omg we’ll totallyyyy add you in the credz! MY IDOLS.” However, judging by the emojis that she attached at the end of her reply, it was likely that the “Back to the Streets” raptress was just being sarcastic.

    Fans applauded Saweetie for her epic response as one said, “It’s the sarcasm for me.” Another reply read, “It’s the ‘we’ll TOTALLY add you to the credits’ for me TOP SHADEEEEEE.” One other user noted that Ceraadi wasn’t the first one to do the concept, writing, “Nicki and Lauren did this in good form.” Similarly, one person commented, “Seen this concept plenty of times they will be alright.”
    While “Best Friend” is said to be released this week, the track was released prematurely on Apple Music last December. That prompted the “My Type” femcee to put her label WBR on blast. “I am extremely disappointed in my label WBR for prematurely releasing a single I was so excited about,” she wrote on Twitter on December 4, 2020. “I feel disrespected. I’m hands on with ALL of my creative & had such a dope rollout for ‘best friends.’ The thirst for clout & $ is real & it overrides the artists’ art.”
    In another tweet, Saweetie continued, “We put so much work into the visual & we shot for days for this super cinematic girl anthem. And for this to happen? wow….” She also revealed in a follow-up tweet that they uploaded the incorrect version, saying, “The wrong version at that smh. Like wtf???”

    The Weeknd's Fans Convinced He Takes a Jab at Ex Bella Hadid in 'Save Your Tears' Music Video

    Instagram

    Theories about him taking a low-key dig at his model ex-girlfriend emerge among his devotees after the ‘Blinding Lights’ singer flaunts a new dramatic look in ‘Save Your Tears’ music video.

    Jan 7, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The Weeknd’s fans were convinced that his latest song has something to do with Bella Hadid. Shortly after the “Blinding Lights” singer flaunted a new dramatic look in the music video of “Save Your Tears”, his online devotees came up with theories that he took a jab at his ex-girlfriend using the faux facial enhancements.
    The 30-year-old, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, dropped the music video on Tuesday, January 5. In the clip, he could be seen with a thinned and crooked nose, bloated cheeks and puffed-up lips all the while sporting visible scars. Many on Twitter have since suggested that his new look was a reference to his ex’s rumored plastic surgery.
    One user threw in the speculation by stating, “IS THE WEEKND TRYING TO LOOK LIKE BELLA HADID BC I CAN SEE IT.” Another chimed in, “With the nose job and cheekbones is the Weeknd mocking Bella Hadid.” A third echoed, “I think The Weeknd is shading Bella Hadid, look at the nose and the lips and the pout lol, plastic!”
    The shading theories did not stop there. More came forward with other kinds of likeness. One tweeted, “the weeknd is definitely bashing bella hadid with the whole plastic surgery themes.” Someone else pointed out, “I’m sure he’s mocking Bella Hadid cause she always says she had nothing done.”

    The Weeknd’s fans believed that he took a jab at Bella Hadid in ‘Save Your Tears’ music video.
    Bella herself shut down rumors about her going under the knife back in June 2018. “People think I got all this surgery or did this or that, and you know what, we can do a scan of my face, darling… I’m scared of putting fillers into my lips,” she told InStyle at that time. “I wouldn’t want to mess up my face.”
    While some people claimed The Weeknd threw shade at the younger sister of Gigi Hadid in “Save Your Tears”, others believed that the song is about his other ex, Selena Gomez. They claimed to hear him whisper Selena’s name in the middle of the track. Despite the swirling speculations, the Canadian crooner has yet to dish on the inspiration behind his song.
    The Weeknd began dating Bella in 2015. The two initially broke up in 2016. However, they got back together in 2017 following his 10-month romance with Selena. They ultimately called it quits in 2019.

    SAG Bosses Not Happy as New Grammy Date Clashes With Their Awards

    Instagram

    The officials at the Screen Actors Guild are ‘extremely disappointed’ after The Recording Academy announces the Grammy 2021 will take place on the same day as the SAG Awards.

    Jan 7, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Bosses at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) have been left “extremely disappointed” after it was announced the Grammy Awards would take place on 14 March (21) due to the Covid-19 pandemic – the same day as the SAG Awards.
    Due to a surge in the number of coronavirus cases around the world, Grammy bosses made the decision to move the ceremony from 31 January to March. However, the new date means the awards will take place on the same day as the SAG Awards – which is considered to be one of the foremost awards ceremonies in the film industry.
    Reacting to the clash, officials from SAG-AFTRA (The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) said in a statement, “We are extremely disappointed to hear of the conflicting date, 14 March, announced today for this year’s Grammy Awards telecast.”

    “We announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July (20) with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organisations throughout the industry.”
    The statement continued to reveal that bosses at the actors union are already in discussions with Recording Academy officials – who run the Grammy Awards – about the clash.
    “In an environment that is increasingly challenging for televised awards programs, we also have a mutual interest in successfully showcasing the artistry and talent of our respective memberships,” they continued.
    “We are in contact with the Recording Academy and will continue to work with our sister organisations to find ways to make this year’s awards season as successful as possible.”

    Megan Thee Stallion Shades Tory Lanez and DaBaby's Upcoming Collab, Tory Responds

    Instagram

    The Canadian rapper shares on his Instagram account that he’s preparing to release a new song with the ‘Suge’ rapper, who collaborates with the raptress on numerous songs, much to his fans’ excitement.

    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Tory Lanez surprised his fans by announcing his upcoming collaboration with DaBaby. The Canadian rapper shared on Instagram on Monday, January 5 that he’s preparing to release a new song with the “Suge” rapper, much to his fans’ excitement.
    “@dababy X TORY LANEZ …… SONG + VISUALS ON THE WAY …. #2021Umbrella …drop a [umbrella emoji] in the comments if you ready for this !” Tory wrote on his page. He also shared a picture of him and DaBaby playing pastors in black attire with the “Quarantine Radio” host holding what seemed to be a bible.

    While fans were psyched for the team-up, one particular person wasn’t too impressed over the news. Megan Thee Stallion, who collaborated with DaBaby on numerous songs, including “NASTY” alongside Ashanti as well as “Cry Baby” and “Cash S**t” off her new album “Good News”, sounded off about the new collab.

    Seemingly throwing shade at Tory and her collaborator, Megan wrote a cryptic message on her Twitter account, “nice try,” alongside three laughing-and-crying emojis. When one of her followers replied, “f**k dababy all 2021,” the “Savage” hitmaker responded, “That s**t was old and not cleared. CRYBABY VIDEO dropping soon.”

    Some fans also criticized DaBaby for his disloyality toward Megan. “Da Baby working w/ Tory Lamez is why black women be saying that we’re weak and embarrassing,” one tweeted. Someone added, “So Da baby collaborating with tory lanez…. dude who shot his home girl?!”
    “megan and da baby collabed TWICE and this baby back b***h wanna collab with tory bowling lanez??? see…that don’t sit right,” another person chimed in. Alluding that he saw that coming, a person noted, “Y’all acting surprised that Da Baby is working wit Tory Lanez like he wasn’t punching b*****s in the face all summer.”
    Tory appeared to catch wind of the drama and responded in a post on his Twitter page. “Hurt people Hurt people …. don’t let that go over your head,” he wrote to his followers.

    The Weeknd's 'New Face' in 'Save Your Tears' Music Video Shocks Fans

    [embedded content]

    Continuing the narrative of his ‘After Hours’ visuals, the ‘Blinding Lights’ crooner reveals what’s really going on underneath the bandages that covered his face at the 2020 American Music Awards last November.

    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The Weeknd has kicked off the new year with something a little extra. The Canadian singer released a music video for his single “Save Your Tears” on Tuesday, January 5, shocking fans with his “new face.”
    Continuing the narrative of his “After Hours” visuals, the three-time Grammy Award-winning artist unveils what was really going on underneath the bandages that he sported on his face at the 2020 American Music Awards last November. He debuts faux facial enhancements gone wrong in the new clip as he belts out the song at a creepy masquerade show where all the guests are masked up.
    The “Can’t Feel My Face” crooner displays a thinned and crooked nose, bloated cheeks, puffed-up lips and surgery scars as part of the disturbing alterations to his face. “But then you saw me, caught you by surprise,” he sings in the song, perfectly reflecting the reactions of his fans after watching the video.

      See also…

    “Why does The Weeknd look like that in the Save Your Tears music video!?! I don’t like it,” a horrified fan commented. Another quipped, “i bet he really cant feel his face now,” referencing to his 2018 hit “Can’t Feel My Face”.
    “Thanks for the nightmares,” another shocked fan reacted. “What in the jigsaw f**k is this!!!” read a fourth comment, while another said, “I refuse to believe he wanted to look like the vampire from Brooklyn when he was dying.”
    The Weeknd has not explained the idea behind his “Save Your Tears” music video, but he followed up the video release with a behind-the-scenes selfie, giving a close-up look at his exaggerated new look, which was seemingly achieved with prosthetic. He left it captionless, as one cheeky user called him “HANDSOME SQUIDWARD” in the comment section.

    The Weeknd previously sported a bloodied face in “Blinding Lights” music video and had his decapitated head reattached onto another man’s body in the even gorier “Too Late” clip. Both songs and “Save Your Tears” are all lifted off his fourth studio album “After Hours”, which debuted atop Billboard 200 in March 2020.

    Cardi B Defends Herself After Turning Off 'WAP' When She's Joined by Daughter Kulture

    Instagram

    The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker insists her music is for adults only when she’s called hypocrite after turning off her raunchy song when her little daughter joins her.

    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Cardi B has defended her decision not to let her two-year-old daughter listen to her controversial 2020 hit “WAP”.
    Trolls took aim at the rapper after a video of her turning off the raunchy track as Kulture entered the room went viral over the weekend (03Jan21).
    Some suggested there was a double standard at play and Cardi should not have released the track she recorded with Megan Thee Stallion if she wasn’t comfortable putting it on around the house.
    Cardi B took to social media on Monday (04Jan21) to fire back at critics and defend her parenting choices.

    “Ya needs to stop with this already…!” she posted. “I don’t make music for kids I make music for adults. Parents are responsible on what their children listen too or see… I’m a very sexual person but not around my child just like every other parent should be (sic).”
    The former erotic dancer added, “There’s moms who are strippers. Pop pussy, twerk all night for entertainment does that mean they do it around their kids (sic)? No! Stop makin this a debate. (It’s) pretty much common sense.”
    Cardi B defended “WAP” numerous times in the past against criticism over the explicit lyrics.
    “I want to show people that you can do positive things, but you can also be yourself. I’m a very sexual person. I love sex, and I like to rap about it. I like to do it,” she said in an interview. “I admire my husband’s penis. I love p***y, and I love my body, and I want to be able to express that. I’m just a naughty girl, and I’m not hurting nobody because I love my p***y and want to rap about it.”

    Grammys 2021 Gets Delayed Amid Pandemic

    The officials at The Recording Academy have reportedly eying a new date in March after they originally planned to hold the annual Grammy Awards at the end of January.

    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Recording Academy officials are reportedly hitting pause on plans to celebrate the 2021 Grammy Awards in person later this month (Jan21) due to a spike in COVID-19 cases.
    Music’s big night was set to take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on 31 January, but with coronavirus cases continuing to rise at alarming rates, organisers are now having second thoughts.
    Sources tell Rolling Stone the event is set to be postponed, with executives eyeing a new date in March.
    Grammy bosses had already decided against having an audience in attendance for the prizegiving, insisting only presenters and performers could be in the building for the show, with nominees expected to appear virtually.
    Recording Academy chiefs have yet to issue a formal statement about the date change.

    Comedian Trevor Noah had previously been announced as host of the big event although it is currently unclear if he will still be able to serve as emcee for a rescheduled show.
    The Recording Academy landed in hot water this year soon after the 2021 nominations were announced.
    The Weeknd called the organization “corrupt” as he didn’t get any nominations despite his latest album “After Hours” being deemed one of the biggest hits of the year. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency,” he said. “Collaboratively planning a performance for weeks to not being invited? In my opinion zero nominations = you’re not invited! (sic).”
    Halsey also criticized The Recording Academy. She insinuated that the Grammy officials took bribes. Teyana Taylor was furious as well for being overlooked this year.
    Meanwhile, Drake suggested it is a “great time for somebody to start something new.” He said, “I think we should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by the disconnect between impactful music and these awards and just accept that what once was the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to the artists that exist now and the ones that come after.”

    SZA Not Mad About Grammy Losses

    Cosmopolitan Magazine/Djeneba Aduayom

    The ‘CTRL’ singer insists she held no grudges against the Recording Academy although she never won a Grammy despite getting numerous nominations in the past.

    Jan 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Singer SZA insists she’s not “mad” at losing out on a total of nine Grammy Awards in the last two years.
    In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the “Hit Different” hitmaker, real name Solana Imani Rowe, confessed she has no negative feelings after being nominated nine times at the 2018 and 2019 Grammys, and going home empty-handed.
    “I’m just a girl from the ‘burbs. I never had dreams of being nominated for a Grammy,” she tells Cosmopolitan for its February issue. “I thought I was going to be a gymnast and a f**king business accountant somewhere. Or working at Nike corporate or some s**t in Portland. Who knows, but something that involved a power suit. So it’s not a heavy burden.”

    The 30-year-old singer, who was nominated for best new artist in 2018, and for several songs on her critically acclaimed debut album “Ctrl” – lost the former prize to Alessia Cara – causing uproar among her fans and widespread criticism of the Grammys.
    “Once you’ve been nominated and lost, you’re very much free because you’re not concerned,” she continues. “I passed that threshold years ago – it’s an old energy to me. Why would I be mad?”
    SZA, who released track “Good Days” in December (20), also opened up what fans can expect from her new album.
    “This album is going to be the s**t that made me feel something in my…here and in here,” she told the outlet, signalling to her stomach and heart. “That’s what’s going to go on the album. I’m making all different types of s**t every day from different places in my spirit.”
