      Lil Durk's Fan Blames Phoenix Venue for Lack of 'Safety Measures' After Being Injured at Smurkchella

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Laugh Now Cry Later’ spitter, whose recent concert ended abruptly after supposed gunfire was heard, takes to social media to speak up about the incident.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      One of Lil Durk’s fans could not hide her disappointment after being injured at his recent concert. Tahjee Gray, who suffered a bloody leg injury during an abrupt end of Smurkchella, blamed Phoenix’s Celebrity Theatre for lack of “safety measures.”

      “My anger isn’t toward Durk. My issue is with the establishment and putting thousands of people at risk,” the 23-year-old New Jersey native told The Shade Room. “My injury is the least of my concerns. My concern is that there were no safety measures at all… [They] weren’t taken at all… There was no order.”

      Gray said that she and her best friend went to Phoenix instead of Miami with hopes that it would be a safer choice. However, upon her arrival, she alleged that the lines at the entrance were already chaotic and securities did not even check attendees’ bags nor scan their tickets. “That was my first red flag,” she pointed out.

      Gray recalled that the Saturday, April 17 concert was great until the people heard loud noises during the last performance. It prompted her and more than 10,000 people to panic and run in different directions. She noted that she fell a few times while trying to leave the theatre and noticed her leg was bleeding due to a large gash.

      Although police assumed that her cut was a graze from a bullet, Gray was not sure what the source of her cut was. She then got treated at a nearby hospital and received seven stitches on it. “It was a lot going on. We didn’t stay around to see what was happening,” she stated, adding that she is considering taking legal action against the venue.

      Contrary to Gray’s statement, Smurkchella insisted there was no woman being grazed by a bullet and stressed that no one needed paramedic attention. The show’s organizers also claimed to TMZ that it was just a microphone dropping on the ground that made a loud noise many believed to be gunshots.

      Lil Durk responded to reports of gunshots at Smurkchella.

      Lil Durk doubled down on his statement.

      After TMZ’s article was reposted by DJ Akademiks on his Instagram Account, Durk took to the comment section to write, “They make up stories when you lit.” The MC then shared a screenshot of the YouTuber’s post on Instagram Story, writing, “Stop trying to stop the voice and make up bad rumors.”

      Lil Durk's Arizona Concert Marred by False Reports of Gunshot Drama

      by

      Instagram

      While it was initially suggested that the April 17 gig was cut short by gunfire, Smurkchella organizers insist that a loud noise from dropped microphone led to the misunderstanding.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Rapper Lil Durk’s Saturday night, April 17 concert in Arizona was cut short following false reports of gunshot fire.

      Durk was performing at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix when 10,000 fans heard what they thought was gunfire and scrambled for the exits.

      At least one fan also told police arriving at the scene she was hit by a bullet, but event organizers insist there were no gunshots and a dropped microphone was behind the drama, adding reports of a woman claiming she was grazed by a bullet are false.

      A few fans suffered non-life-threatening injuries while attempting to flee the venue, according to TMZ.

      On Sunday, April 18, Smurkchella organizers issued a statement via its official Instagram account. “10K people showed up and got the opportunity to see the hottest artist in the game perform! 4 black men did that don’t allow negative media propaganda and rhetoric to mislead you! There was no shootings inside of @smurkchella,” it declared.

      “Yes, some things did go unplanned ! It’s a concert, the first concert on the heels of a pandemic,” the statement continued. “We tried to get more security [sic], for weeks because we knew what was on the horizon! We were ensured prior that security [sic] was in place and would have everything under control so we could enjoy the show safe and responsible, but somethings were out of our control!”

      “People were excited, nonetheless, it was a great experience that did not get shut down or end early! You got the chance to see @lildurk @coileray @poohshiesty perform their biggest songs together for the first time all on one stage! That’s history!!!!!!!!! Thank you to everybody that’s reached out and showed love support and appreciation!”

      Black Rob, Rapper Known for His Hit Single ‘Whoa!,’ Dies at 52

      by

      A star for Bad Boy Records after the Notorious B.I.G.’s death, the rapper had a husky, seen-it-all voice even as a young man.Robert Ross, the rapper known as Black Rob, whose husky, seen-it-all voice powered turn-of-the-millennium hits like “Whoa!” and “Can I Live” for Bad Boy Records, died on Saturday at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. He was 52.The cause was cardiac arrest, said Mark Curry, a friend and one-time Bad Boy artist, who added that Mr. Ross had numerous health issues in recent years, including diabetes, lupus, kidney failure and multiple strokes.Mr. Ross had been undergoing dialysis and was discharged from Piedmont Atlanta Hospital this month, Mr. Curry said. In a video that was posted online and spread across the hip-hop world, Mr. Ross detailed his ailments and recent struggles with homelessness.“He didn’t have a home, but he always had us,” said Mr. Curry, who called Mr. Ross “a true poet.” He added: “He’s known for telling stories and his music described his life. You can feel it.”Last week, Mr. Curry, along with the producer Mike Zombie, began promoting a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Mr. Ross — “to help him find a home, pay for medical help and stability during these trying times,” the campaign’s description said. The fund-raiser collected about half of its $50,000 goal.Mr. Ross, who was born in Harlem, N.Y., began rapping around the age of 11, influenced by local artists like Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh, whom he credited for helping to develop his storytelling prowess. He also internalized the essence of his musically ascendant neighborhood, citing its “pick-me-up kinda sound.”“It’s like, ‘Oh, it’s got a little flavor, I could dance to this’ — you’re gonna talk about a little bit of money, a little bit of drugs,” Mr. Ross said in a 2013 interview. “We were the flashiest.”Best known for the hard-hitting 2000 single “Whoa!”, which reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a string of electric guest verses on songs by Mase, 112 and Total, Mr. Ross could sound both motivated and weathered even as a young man.Thrust into more of a leading role after the murder of his Bad Boy label mate, the Notorious B.I.G., in March 1997, the rapper became another fast-burning star under the imprimatur of the budding hip-hop mogul Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, by the end of the 1990s.Mr. Ross’s debut album, the fittingly named “Life Story,” was released by Bad Boy in 2000, when he was 31. Already, he had spent more than a decade of his life in and out of juvenile detention, jail and prison, and the music reflected that.“It’s hell,” the rapper said at the time of his past. “Once they get their teeth on you, they keep biting, until they feel like, ‘Let’s throw away the key on this cat.’”“Life Story” featured intricate street tales of stickups, shootouts and the family struggles that could lead to such things, and it reached No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, eventually becoming platinum.Five years later, “The Black Rob Report,” the rapper’s second album, failed to find the same success, in part because Mr. Ross was back in prison, having failed to report to sentencing for a 2004 larceny charge. His career never recovered.“Bad Boy left me for dead,” Mr. Ross said upon his release from prison in 2010. Two subsequent independent releases on different labels foundered.Mr. Ross is survived by his mother, Cynthia; four siblings; nine children; and five grandchildren.Many people on social media offered condolences for Mr. Ross, including Diddy, the entrepreneur Daymond John and the rappers Missy Elliott, L.L. Cool J, GZA and Styles P.On Twitter, L.L. Cool J described Mr. Ross as a storyteller, gentleman and an M.C.Ms. Elliott lamented that the death of Mr. Ross closely followed that of another New York rapper, Earl Simmons, known as DMX, who died this month.“It’s hard finding the words to say when someone passes away,” Ms. Elliott said on Twitter. “I am Praying for both of their families for healing.” More

      Lil Nas X Hoping for 'Montero' Remix With Rihanna and Bad Bunny

      by

      WENN/Facebook

      The ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker is eyeing the ‘Diamonds’ singer and the ‘Dakiti’ star for a revamped version of his new hit single ‘Montero (Call Me by Your Name)’.

      Apr 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Lil Nas X wants to recruit Rihanna and Bad Bunny for a remix of his U.S. chart-topping hit “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)”.

      The “Old Town Road” rapper is keen to get the “Diamonds” hitmaker and the Latin hip-hop star on a new cut of his mega-hit.

      Speaking to Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp, the 22-year-old star said, when asked who’d like to team up with for a remix, “Rihanna and Bad Bunny.”

      And when he turned away, Roman suggested, “It makes me feel like this may already be in the pipeline,” to which he replied, “I wish!”

      He added, “What if I ask for it? I don’t want to jinx it.”

      The song ruled the charts and, at the same time, sparked backlash from conservative groups due to the steamy music video. But Lil Nas X was unbothered as he fired back, “I spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the s**t y’all preached would happen to me because i was gay. so i hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.”

      According to reports, the controversial video, which features the rapper performing a seductive dance with the devil, disappeared from Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube in some territories across the world.

      In response, the rapper turned to adult website. “Since call me by your name is no longer working on many streaming services i will be uploading the audio to pornhub at 3pm est,” he announced on Twitter. “Not even joking. everybody stream call me by your name hard today because it may no longer be available tomorrow and there’s nothing i can really do about it. thanks for all the support tho!”

      Nancy Wilson Announces Eddie Van Halen Tribute Song

      by

      Instagram/WENN

      The Heart star pays homage to the late Van Halen rocker by dedicating one of the new tracks in her debut solo studio album ‘You and Me’ to the iconic musician.

      Apr 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Heart star Nancy Wilson has paid the ultimate tribute to late rocker Eddie Van Halen by releasing a new instrumental track dedicated to her friend.

      “4 Edward” will appear on her upcoming debut solo album, “You and Me”, which is scheduled for release next month (May21).

      Releasing the new tribute track on Friday (16Apr21), Nancy said, “When Heart toured with Van Halen, I asked Eddie why he never played acoustic guitar. His response: ‘I don’t have one.’ ”

      “I gave Eddie one of mine, and he immediately wrote a song on it that stole my heart. After he passed, it hit me so hard I felt it was time to pay tribute to him.”

        See also…

      In a recent radio interview, Wilson revealed she loved drinking with Eddie and his bandmate brother, Alex.

      “You’d go down to the bar and the Van Halen brothers, they won the prize of just how to be totally raucous and totally out of control and drunk,” she said. “They’d just be yelling and cavorting all over the room and all over each other, and fisticuffs would bust out, and then, two seconds later, they’d be hugging: ‘I love you, man.’ ”

      “They were out of control. They were the first ones to ever introduce us to the kamikaze – the vodka with lime, or whatever.”

      Mary Wilson's Never-Heard-Before Music Set for Release

      by

      Instagram

      An unreleased music which has never been heard before from the late Supremes star is confirmed to be on the way, more than two months after she passed away.

      Apr 18, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Previously unheard music from Mary Wilson is set for release.

      The former Supremes star – who died in February at the age of 76 – had a large collection of unreleased music when she died and there are plans in place to share it with the world, according to Bruce Resnikoff, President/CEO of Universal Music Enterprises.

      He told Variety, “I made that commitment to her the last time we spoke, less than two weeks before Mary passed.”

      “Mary cared about three things. First and foremost, about the artist community, which is why she was so involved in supporting legislation helpful to fellow artists, songwriters and producers such as the Truth in Music Act. She was interested in talking about the Supremes, and we always got around to talking about her solo music. She wanted to release it, but, she wanted to make sure that it was the right time.”

        See also…

      And he revealed that Mary was eager for younger fans to hear her music.

      He said, “Look, her solo career has been overlooked and underappreciated, to some extent. Those Gus Dudgeon songs alone? He’s a legend and these songs were meant to show a different side to Mary. So, what Mary and I agreed on, from the beginning, was that The Supremes were but one aspect of her life, one where she was a member of a seminal group, a full-time legislative advocate for the rights of creatives and fans – maybe more so than any other artist I have ever worked with – and a truly great solo artist.”

      “She wanted younger audiences to get and experience that.”

      Further details about the release plans have yet to be confirmed.
