    The Weeknd Gets Tongues Wagging With Bandaged Appearance at AMAs 2020

    Instagram

    The ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker, who comes to the awards show in a red suit with his head, jaw and nose being covered in bandages, takes home three trophies including the Favorite Album kudo.

    Nov 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Weeknd’s bandaged appearance at Sunday’s (November 22) 2020 American Music Awards caused a stir among fans on Twitter.
    The “Starboy” hitmaker – who won the Soul/R&B prizes for Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Song for “Heartless” and Favorite Album for “After Hours” – sported a red suit and his head, jaw, and nose completely bandaged during the award ceremony.
    It’s a look he’s been developing since hit video for chart-topping hit “Blinding Lights”, but that didn’t stop bemused fans commenting on his unusual appearance on social media.
    “damn, when the weeknd said ‘i can’t feel my face when i’m with you’ he wasn’t joking,” one user wrote, referring to the singer’s hit song “Can’t Feel My Face”, while another quipped, “when the weeknd took the ‘I can’t feel my face’ part to the next lvl. (sic)”

    Fans poked fun at The Weeknd’s ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ in reaction to his unusual AMAs appearance.

    Others were confused and concerned for the star’s wellbeing, asking, “so were all of those bandages on the weeknd’s face for his performance or????”
    “did the weeknd get in a fight or completely reconstruct his face? i cant tell,” posted another, while a further fan asked, “Guys what happened to The Weeknd’s face I’m so confused is he okay.”

    Other fans expressed concern over The Weeknd’s bandaged appearance at AMAs 2020.
    Despite the confusion, the bloody make-up is to raise awareness about drunk driving, and has been played out in the star’s recent music videos, including recent hit “In Your Eyes”.
    In an interview with Esquire, The Weeknd explained his “Blinding Lights” video is about “how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights, but nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely.”
    “I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is.”

    Instagram

    The ‘Woke Up Like This’ rapper gets fans excited after taking his social media accounts to tease new music off his upcoming album ‘Whole Lotta Red’ and debuting a new song on Instagram Live.

    Nov 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans of Playboi Carti are beyond excited after the “Woke Up Like This” spitter took to his social media accounts to tease new music off his upcoming album “Whole Lotta Red”. In one of his tweets on Monday, November 23, Carti revealed that he had officially turned his new project to his label.
    “album.turned in,” so Carti announced in an Instagram post that also featured some fashion-forward photos. He could be seen donning a suit while showing off some freshly-dyed red hair and new piercings.

    Additionally, he appeared to hint that he was talking about his upcoming album “Whole Lotta Red”. Fueling the speculations, the Atlanta rapper later tweeted, “OUt of MY boDY ! WHOLE TAPE.”

    Playboi Carti hinted that he finished his ‘Whole Lotta Red’ album.

    Carti then further raised the excitement as he went on Instagram Live to debut a brand new song. “I’m servin’ that base/ I got me some thots/ They thought I was gay,” he rapped over the bass-heavy tune. The particular lyrics immediately sparked conversations online and it didn’t take long for it to trend on Twitter.
    “Carti really got ‘they thought i was gay’ trending lmaoo,” a fan reacted. Someone else added excitedly, “This n***a in a mesh beater talkin bout ‘they thought I was gay,’ ” noting that it might be “Album of the year.”
    Calling him “the voice of my generation,” another user said, “Carti angsty screaming THEY THOUGHT I WAS GAY into an Instagram live wearing tight jeans and a mesh shirt that matches his dyed red braids.”
    Some fans also believed that Carti’s new album would be a huge hit. “Playboi Carti was just on live and in the song the n***a said ‘I got me sum thots they thought I was gay’ he definitely see da gay vampire jokes,” one wrote, while another person added, “carti saying THEY THOUGHT I WAS GAY could mean this is the biggest comeback of this year.”
    People also brought Iggy Azalea into the conversations. This seemingly had something to do with his tweet earlier that day that read, “i told da bit shut up! My son crying.” Upon seeing the tweet, a fan wished that Carti would somehow incorporate the Australian raptress and Onyx, the two stars’ first child together. “i wanna hear onyx crying in the background and iggy comforting him,” said the fan.

    Jennifer Lopez Accused of Stealing From Beyonce With 2020 AMAs Performance

    The ‘Jenny from the Block’ singer’s short hair, sexy catsuit and chair dance during her set at the American Music Awards draw comparison to Beyonce’s 2014 Grammys performance.

    Nov 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez has created a buzz online following her performance at the 2020 American Music Awards, but not all for a good reason. The singer has been accused of stealing Beyonce Knowles’ concept for her set at the Sunday, November 22 show.
    The “Hustlers” star set the temperature rising with her steamy performance that night as she donned a semi-sheer catsuit while performing “Pa Ti”. Rocking short hair, she also showed sensual chair dance with several backup dancers during her solo set.
    J.Lo was later joined by Maluma to deliver “Lonely”. The 51-year-old actress seduced her collaborator as she hopped on top of a table and got hot and heavy with the 26-year-old Colombian-born singer.
    While many were mesmerized by J.Lo’s performance, Beyhive couldn’t help noticing that the Latina songstress/dancer’s outfit, look and dance were similar to their favorite artist’s at the 2014 Grammy Awards. They soon took Twitter to make the accusation against the “On the Floor” hitmaker.
    [embedded content]
    “jlo wanna be beyonce so bad, the thief striked once again,” one person posted on the blue bird app alongside a side-by-side picture of J.Lo at 2020 AMAs and Bey at 2014 Grammys. Another remarked, “jlo really had beyonce’s grammys 2014 look.”

    “Outfit, hair, dance… but one thing is sure: she CAN’T sing like queen Beyonce. Beyonce is the standard, so I’m not really surprised,” a third user slammed J.Lo. A fourth person insisted, “Before y’all talk about ‘Beyonce didn’t invent dancing on a chair’ let’s not act like J-Lo didn’t have the same outfit, same hairstyle & similar choreography.”
    Some others claimed J.Lo has had a long history of copying other artists’ concepts, with one commenting, “Jennifer has been stealing from black women for years.” Another cheeky user, meanwhile, described J.Lo and Maluma’s set as “beyonce and jay-z performing drunk in love #AMAs2020.”
    There were a few, however, who have come to J.Lo’s defense, with one saying, “She was inspired by King Bey,” instead of stealing from Bey. Another clapped back at the haters, “Everyone is always hating.”
    “JLO has been doing this chair dance for years even performs it in Vegas y’all are so problematic and bored.. they need to let y’all go outside more,” a J.Lo fan claimed. Another person blasted the critics for “reaching.”

    J.Lo herself has not responded to the allegations of her stealing Bey’s concept.

    Artist of the Week: The Kid LAROI

    The former protege of the late Juice WRLD scores his top 3 album on Billboard Hot 200 after he releases a deluxe version of his first commercial mixtape.

    Nov 23, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Juice WRLD would be so proud. His rap protege The Kid LAROI broke into Billboard Hot 200 with his debut commercial mixtape “F*ck Love”. The album gained new steam following the release of the deluxe edition which added seven new tracks.
    The original version featured a collaboration with the late Juice WRLD while the re-release was powered by additional guests like NBA YoungBoy, Marshmello, and Machine Gun Kelly. It made a huge leap from No. 81 to No. 3 on the U.S. albums chart.
    He explained the album title in an interview, “I’m 16 – I’m young as f**k. And I think most teens start going through their girl problems and get their first crush. My experience went a bit south so that’s how I was feeling at the time when I was making songs at the time, so I made a project about it.”

    “I do believe in love. I don’t believe you find it at 16 but I think I believe in it. Before I was popping and I was just living in Australia I had a girlfriend that cheated on me with like four other dudes. I was only 14 but it f**king burned and from that point on I was like ‘f**k love, it doesn’t exist.’ ”
    LAROI did talk about getting sick and tired of love and the struggles that come with it in the song “So Done”. But he showed a different side of relationship in the track “Always Do” as he narrated a couple who always found their way back to each other despite their differences.
    Among the bonus tracks, “So Done” stood out. The Aussie-born and -raised star scored his highest-charting single in his home country as the solo song peaked at No. 7 on ARIA Singles chart. It additionally climbed up to the top 60 on Billboard Hot 100.
    It’s his second top 60 on Hot 100. He previously peaked at No. 52 with “Go” that featured his late mentor Juice WRLD.
