Aug 1, 2020
AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles has recently released her star-studded streaming visual album “Black Is King” that features former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and her own family. While many fans applauded the singer for putting black excellency at the front, rapper Noname appeared to be not too thrilled by the film.
The outspoken star took to her Twitter account on Friday, July 31 to share her two cents on the project. “we love an african aesthetic draped in capitalism. hope we remember the blk folks on the continent whose daily lives are impacted by u.s imperialism,” so she wrote to her followers. “if we can uplift the imagery i hope we can uplift those who will never be able to access it. black liberation is a global struggle.”
Noname shaded Beyonce’s ‘Black Is King’ on Twitter.
Almost unsurprisingly, the tweet earned Noname criticism from Beyonce’s fans. “As an African living in Africa I assure you Beyonce’s dedication to collaborating with our talented creatives to come up with beautiful uplifting art is doing more for us than anything you have done,” one replied to her tweet.
Another user questioned, “Would you have liked it if the African looked poor and hungry?? You saw Africans being themselves and being part of an amazing body of art and looking good at that and you called it an aesthetic?? The real Africa is what small huts and torn clothes and hungry looking children?”
Someone else insinuated that Noname might have unresolved feelings towards the “Lemonade” singer in personal level that made the rapper biased in her opinion. “Whatever issue you have with that woman is deeper than capitalism but this bs that you typed is disrespectful asf to the actual African creatives that also worked hard on this film! Get it together!” the person said.
Prior to this, Noname came under fire after she mentioned Beyonce in a political-driven tweet. The tweet, which was shared on June 24, saw the rapper asking people to love political activist Angela Davis as much as they love the wife of Jay-Z. Quoting a tweet featuring “color photos of when Angela Davis spoke behind a four-sided bulletproof glass shield at Madison Square Garden, 29 June 1972,” Noname wrote, “i wish angela got the love beyonce gets.” The tweet has since been deleted.
The post apparently rubbed Beyhives the wrong way and prompted them to attack Noname. Bringing Noname’s feud with J. Cole into the discussion, a fan wrote, “Cole ‘instead of talking down on people who don’t have access to the same information you have, maybe try to educate them instead, but you don’t have to be condescending, we’re all fighting the same fight’ NoName ‘y’all love Beyonce so much but dgaf about Angela Davis LMAOOOOO.’ ”

AceShowbiz – Courteney Cox will reunite with ex David Arquette onscreen after agreeing to reprise her classic horror role in the new “Scream” reboot.
The “Friends” star has been booked to step into the shoes of tenacious reporter Gale Weathers again in the upcoming studio rehashing of the 1996 slasher movie, titled “Scream 5”, led by directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of the filmmaking group Radio Silence.
Cox joins her ex-husband David Arquette in the reboot, with her former spouse revisiting the role of goofy Sheriff Dwight ‘Dewey’ Riley.
Bosses at Spyglass Media Group and Paramount Pictures are relaunching the entire “Scream” franchise, which earned $600 million (£460 million) with four movies that were all directed by late filmmaker Wes Craven, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Other original castmembers like Neve Campbell and Matthew Lillard have yet to be officially announced as part of the reboot. However Lillard, whose Stu Macher character was slain in the original Scream, has recently expressed interest in resurrecting his persona to join the new project.
“I would love to come back,” he told Entertainment Tonight in May (20), noting “conversations are being had.”
The new Scream film will shoot in Wilmington, North Carolina and casting is still ongoing.

The ‘Being Mary Jane’ actress calls out the current ‘America’s Got Talent’ host for his lack of solidarity as she’s entangled in a feud with the producers of the show.
Aug 1, 2020
AceShowbiz – Gabrielle Union has hit out at “America’s Got Talent” host Terry Crews for not supporting her during amid her firing from the NBC show.
The former judge went public with allegations of harassment and discrimination she witnessed and experienced during her time as a judge on the show during season 14.
Throughout the drama, critics of the actress questioned why she faced the alleged racism when she wasn’t the only black person on set, with the star telling Spotify’s “Jemele Hill Is Unbothered” podcast that Crews wasn’t an “ally” during the ordeal.
“People hit me all day long and are like, what’s happening? And the only thing I know for sure is that Terry Crews gets three cheques from NBC,” she shared. “So, I don’t know if being worried about job stability – which listen, we all know that if you speak up about racism and White supremacy, you absolutely can be shown the door. I don’t know if that’s the motivation.”
She continued, “Based on his recent actions, do you really think Terry Crews was an ally, was helpful, was a sounding board? I think Terry Crews is showing us who he is and what he does during times of adversity and it’s not solidarity.”
Back in 2017, at the inception of the #MeToo movement against misconduct in Hollywood, Crews came forward with an allegation of assault, which Union says she supported him through.
“Not to say if I offer you solidarity I expect you to be the getaway driver during a bank robbery – that’s what he made it sound like in one of those series of tweets,” she explained. “If you didn’t have my experience… ‘I believe Gab, I just had a different experience.’ ”
Now, the star is focused on making the network a “more fair and equitable place” to work, will ultimately help people like Crews, she insisted.
