    Joss Stone Is Jealous of Sia and She Explains Why

    WENN

    The ‘You Had Me’ hitmaker envies the ‘Chandelier’ hitmaker for being able to hide her face, explaining that she too wanted anonymity when she first signed her record deal.

    Dec 31, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Joss Stone wanted to be a virtual act like Gorillaz to protect her privacy.
    The “You Had Me” hitmaker – who also admitted she is “jealous” of Sia for retaining her anonymity by usually appearing with a wig covering her face – signed a record deal aged 14, and asked the label boss if her music videos could be animated like the cartoon “Clint Eastwood” band, which features real-life musicians Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett, and Remi Kabaka Jr.
    She told the Castaway podcast, “I said to Steve Greenberg, who signed me when I was 14, ‘Steve, if we’re gonna do music videos, can we just do a cartoon like the Gorillaz so nobody knows what I look like?’ ”
    “And he said, ‘I didn’t sign you to hide you’… How jealous am I of Sia?”

    Joss, now 33, also opened up on the dangers of fame, after two men planned to rob and kill her in 2011.
    “If you put yourself out there in that way then guess what?” she added. “They’re gonna know what you look like and they might follow you and try to kill you, and they might call you all the names under the sun. Or they might fall in love with you and buy you flowers and turn up.”
    In terms of her music career, Joss’ most recent releases include 2020 singles “Lean On Me” and “Walk With Me”, although she hasn’t released a full length album since “Water for Your Soul” in 2015.
    However, in October (20) the “Super Duper Love” singer confirmed she and her partner Cody are expecting their first baby together.
    Announcing her pregnancy, she said at the time, “Guess what? I am going to have a little baby, too! I am so excited to talk to you (influencer Ella Mills; her guest) because I don’t know many pregnant women. I am week 17 and I just stopped being sick all the time.”

    Matt Sorum Unveils How Lars Ulrich Played a Part in Him Landing Guns N' Roses Gig

    WENN/Brian To

    When celebrating the Metallica co-founder’s birthday, the former drummer of the Axl Rose-fronted band opens up about how their longtime friendship led to the former giving Slash his phone number.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rocker Lars Ulrich is responsible for helping Matt Sorum land his gig as Guns N’ Roses’ drummer after passing his number on to Slash.
    Sorum shared the interesting piece of music history with fans over the weekend (December 26) as he celebrated the Metallica star’s birthday with a gushing tribute about their longtime friendship.
    “We met when (Sorum’s old band) The Cult opened the ‘Justice For All’ (Metallica) tour and spent many nights on the road together living the life of rock ‘n’ roll,” he wrote of the 1989 trek. “The Cult did close to six months on that tour and the adventures were insane, and are still with me to this day.”

    “After that we remained close,” Sorum continued. “Lars was the one that gave Slash my phone number to get in GNR. Of course, the Epic GNR / Metallica stadium tour (of 1992) was legendary. Besides all of the musical accolades, most importantly he has always been there as a friend.”
    Sorum joined The Cult in 1989, and replaced drummer Steven Adler in the Guns N’ Roses line-up in 1990, until his exit in 1997.
    Recalling his first concert as Guns N’ Roses drummer which took place in January 1991 at the Rock In Rio festival in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Sorum recalled in October of this year, “I’ve never rehearsed with the guy. We’re gonna do it live in front of a hundred and forty thousand people, plus on television. And I’m freaking out before the show. I’m looking around, and I’m, like, ‘Hey, does anyone know what the setlist is? I’d like to check out the setlist.’ And Slash [Guns N’ Roses guitarist] goes, ‘We don’t use a setlist.’ And I’m, like, ‘What?’ So I got no information about what’s gonna go down.”

    Khia Dragged for Mocking Mariah Carey's Signature High Notes

    Instagram

    In a new episode of her online ‘Gag Order’ series, the ‘My Neck, My Back (Lick It)’ hitmaker, who was born Khia Shamone Chambers, is seen trying to mimicking Mariah’s signature high note.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Khia is making headlines for yet another controversial remark. This time, it is because she’s attacking Grammy Award-winning songstress Mariah Carey as she makes fun of her recent singing ability.
    In a new episode of her online “Gag Order” series, Khia, who was born Khia Shamone Chambers, was seen trying to mimicking Mariah’s signature high note. The Philadephia-born artist went on to joke that Mariah is no longer able to reach those notes despite trying.
    “I said Mariah girl…Ms. Mariah girl,” she said mockingly. “Then I’m like, tap that ear girl, tap that ear, the mic is right girl it’s them notes!” she added, before singing Mariah’s 90s hit “Make It Happen” and “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.

    While Mariah has yet to respond to the shade, some fans jumped into her defense. Slamming Khia, one person wrote, “Girl shut up already, Mariah does that because of feedback in her ear. Learn about music and singing live.” Another fan added, “It was no truth what she said , if you did your research last couple Mariah has been slaying vocally . Most talking s**t never been to her concerts.”
    “What she need to is focus on bashing them people of Love and Hip Hop and try to get another hit so she can get out that imitation a** RV van before she fix her mouth to come for the Queen of the Charts that she ain’t been on in decades…,” one person suggested. Meanwhile, another user claimed that this was the “reason why Janet Jackson never worked with Khia again… She simply has no respect for the legends.”
    Prior to this, Khia was under fire for accusing Tamar Braxton of faking her suicide attempt or as she called it, faking her “death.” In the Monday, August 3 episode of “Gag Order”, the “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” hitmaker claimed that the “Braxton Family Values” star faked her “death” to get released of her contract with We TV. Additionally, Khia blasted the Braxton family, “who never gives back to the community but always wants out support.”

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chris Brown is proud of his music regardless what people say. The “No Guidance” hitmaker took to his Instagram Stories on Monday, December 28 to defend his works from critics, saying that no one could do what he did.
    “Say what you want, but when it come(sic) to what I do, you can’t do it,” the 31-year-old R&B singer wrote on the photo-sharing site. He went on alluding that he didn’t need an approval to feel satisfied with his wown music.
    “Approval ain’t s**t when you make real music for the people!!! No cocky s**t, but I’ve been proving myself and providing some sort of comfort for my fans’ emotions,” he continued writing. “If you think I’m in this studio on some bulls**t, every second of my life, [then] you are out of your rabbit a** mind!”
    The musician claimed that he would continue to grind, saying, “Ima keep working overtime because thats what it takes !!! No hate but I respect all the young n****s trying to follow they dream. I hate on no music and no struggle there is room for sunstance, growth.”

    That kind of mentality is probably the reason why Chris has a long-lasting career in music. Last month, Breezy celebrated the 20th anniversary of his career in the R&B and hip-hop game. His close friend Kanye West even sent him an expensive gift to commemorate the longevity in his career by giving him a $120,000 Yeezy Sherp truck.

    “Congratulations to Chris Brown on 20 years in the game,” the “Gold Digger” rapper wrote to Chris in the gift card. “You’ve overcome so many hurdles and obstacles. You deserve the recognition for all the hard work you’ve put in – Yeezy.”

    Now Young Thug has thrown his hat into the ring, insisting a Verzuz battle with Lil Wayne would be fantastic to watch.

    During an interview on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Young Thug said, “It would probably have to be like (Lil Wayne). Because you got to think – we got to talk about influence. We got to talk about everything. We got to talk about everything. It’s not just about no rap.”
    “You got to understand, as rappers, as hip-hop artists, you can only go so far. I always just focused on the next level.”
    Young Thug also reflected on when his beef with Wayne started – recalling that his peer ignored him the first time they met.
    Meanwhile, 50 Cent thought it would be more interesting to see Lil Wayne battle it out with his former protege Drake. “I think because of the momentum, the best thing would be Lil Wayne versus Drake,” the “Get Rich or Die Tryin” star said in a recent interview before explaining, “because it’s two styles, two different styles in the same period so it will be entertaining enough to watch both of them.”

I love y’all and f**k them i’ll be back.”
