Ms. Grande called off their engagement shortly thereafter.Mr. Davidson attributed their split to Mr. Miller’s death, telling the radio host Charlamagne Tha God in an interview that “I pretty much knew it was over after that.”In December 2018, Mr. Davidson shared a troubling post on Instagram: “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” he wrote.A police officer checked on him at the Manhattan studios of “Saturday Night Live,” where he is a cast member, and NBC contacted the Police Department to say that he was fine, the police said at the time.In the deleted post, he said: “I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so.”Ms. Grande, 27, gained prominence as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon show “Victorious,” which aired from 2010 to 13, but it was her music career that gave her international stardom. Her song “Positions” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200.AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      Taylor Swift Lands Her Second No. 1 Album of the Year With ‘Evermore’

(Another rule change, instituted in August, mandated that physical copies of an album that were sold bundled with a digital version would not count as a physical sale until it shipped to the customer.)“Folklore,” which benefited from such packages, including 17 different physical versions out of the gate, sold 846,000 units in its first week, including 290 million streams and 615,000 copies sold as a full album, compared to 154,500 for “Evermore,” which was only available digitally. “Folklore,” buoyed by the new release and additional deals and versions released in time for the holidays, moved up to No. 3 from No. 11 this week, selling another 133,000 album units.“Evermore” marked Swift’s eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, which she has ruled for nine nonconsecutive weeks across her two titles this year. The K-pop group BTS and the rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again were the only other artists to top the chart with two different albums in 2020.At No. 2 was “Man on the Moon III: The Chosen,” by Kid Cudi, with 144,000 units. Michael Bublé’s “Christmas” was No. 4 and the rapper Jack Harlow’s debut album, “That’s What They All Say,” reached No. 5 in its debut week.AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      Cardi B Reacts to Viral 'WAP' Parody Video About Urging People to Wear Mask

      by

      Titled ‘WAmP’, the hilarious take on the racy song features students from John Hopkins University wearing masks while reciting altered lyrics that go with the message they want to share.

      Dec 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Cardi B is open to any parody of her hit sing “WAP”. The Grammy-winning femcee caught wind of a viral parody from John Hopkins University, which made use of the popular song to urge people to wear face masks amid COVID-19 pandemic.
      Titled “WAmP”, the hilarious take on Cardi’s collaborative song with Megan Thee Stallion featured students from the school wearing masks while reciting altered lyrics that go with the message they wanted to share. “I don’t cook, I don’t clean, but let me tell you that I’ll get a vaccine #WAmP #WearAMaskPlease,” read the lyrics.
      The wife of Offset apparently found the clip funny as she replied, “Sksksksk.” Upon seeing the welcoming response, fans couldn’t help but asking the hip-hop star to collaborate with the university. “Cardi, please collaborate with @JohnsHopkinsSPH to release a special public service version of WAP!” one of her followers begged. Meanwhile, someone said, “This is epic.”

      Cardi B reacted to hilarious ‘WAP’ parody.

      Applauding Cardi for her big influence, someone wrote, “our influence is craaaaaaaazy !!!!!” Also loving the parody, another user said, “YASSS! LOVE IT!”
      Despite the success, Cardi faced criticism for the explicit lyrics for “WAP”. Defending the song, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker said during an interview on Australia’s “The Kyle & Jackie O” show, “The people that the song bothers are usually conservatives or really religious people. But my thing is…I grew up listening to this type of music. To other people it might be vulgar, but to me, it’s almost really normal.”
      Cardi was also aware that the song is not for children, noting that she didn’t want her 2-year-old daughter Kulture, whom she shares with rapper Offset, to listen to it. “Of course I don’t want my child to listen to the song. But, it’s like, it’s for adults!” She also added, “It’s what people want to hear. If people didn’t want to hear it, if they were so afraid to hear it, it wouldn’t be doing so good.”
      Offset recently also stood up for his wife after Snoop Dogg shared his negative review for the song. “I love Snoop, man. [Cardi is] grown,” so the “Ghostface Killers” rapper said. “I don’t get in females business, so Ima just stay at that. I hate when men do that. I don’t do that. I don’t care if a girl woulda said something bad about me. I just don’t get in females business.”

      The ‘Get Lucky’ singer spills on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s ‘Drink Champs’ that the former NSYNC member got most of the songs on his solo debut album after the late King of Pop rejected them.

      Dec 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Pharrell Williams has made a revelation regarding Justin Timberlake’s “Justified”. When making an appearance on “Drink Champs” podcast, the “Get Lucky” singer revealed that the former NSYNC member’s hit solo debut was meant for late King of Pop Michael Jackson.
      When speaking to N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN in the Saturday, December 19 episode of their podcast, the 47-year-old first mentioned that he sent some songs to Michael. “John McClain was his manager at the time. We sent him pretty much all the stuff you guys are hearing on the first ‘Justified’ album — that’s all Michael stuff,” he spilled. “All but one song, they were written for Michael.”
      Pharrell went on to claim that the late pop star was not into the tracks he offered. “John McClain was like, ‘Man, Michael don’t want that s**t! He want the s**t you givin’ Noreaga!’ He was like, ‘Yo, he want that ‘Superthug’,’ ” The Neptunes producer recalled.
      Aside from Michael, Pharrell additionally revealed that Prince also turned down tunes that he wrote. The “Happy” hitmaker shared, “I tried for years to make records for him.” He then added, “My first attempt at making a record with him was ‘Frontin’… I think I wrote a different version a little bit for him. He wasn’t into it.”

      Elsewhere in the chat, the husband of Helen Lasichanh also weighed in on the feud between Drake and Pusha T. “I didn’t wanna see that go that way. That didn’t make me happy,” he pointed out. “I hate to see what him [Pusha] and Drake are going through – or what they went through. I hated to see all of it, every bit of it … it wasn’t good.”

      Pharrell admitted that he would love to see both Drake and Pusha having a collaboration. “It still breaks my heart to this day, because I would’ve loved to have heard those guys on a song together or heard a joint project together. I would’ve loved to see that,” he wished. “By the way, Pusha says Drake’s got bars. When Drake makes something that’s amazing, we talk about it all the time.”

      Artist of the Week: Ava Max

      by

      The ‘Sweet but Psycho’ hitmaker is spreading empowerment message with her inspiring single ‘Kings and Queens’ while taking the throne on Billboard chart and radio airplay.

      Dec 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ava Max is blasting to No. 1 on Billboard music chart with her inspiring single “Kings & Queens”. The pop dance song is not only easy on the ear, but it also carries a wonderful message. She connects with both genders as she toasts men who respect, support, and stand up for their women and celebrates all the brave queens who are “fighting alone.”
      “Female empowerment is very strong in my life and that’s how I am. I’m a very outspoken person and it shows in my music, especially my lyrics and in the album,” she explained in an interview with Billboard.
      The 26-year-old singer/songwriter hit the summit on Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs radio airplay with the empowering single. It marked her first No. 1 song in the music ranking after she reached the second place on the chart last year with her breakout hit “Sweet but Psycho.”
      “Kings & Queens”, which spawned a revamp with Lauv and Saweetie, also took the throne on the Mediabase hot adult contemporary radio chart for second consecutive week while staying at the runner-up position on this week’s Mediabase pop radio airplay chart.

      The song additionally reached No. 13 on Billboard Hot 100 with over 628 million in all-format radio audience and 152 million on-demand U.S. streams. On Adult Contemporary, it climbed to No. 21, joining Ava Max’s new holiday single, “Christmas Without You,” which ranked five spots higher at No. 16 on the chart.
      While the festive anthem is a standalone song, both “Kings & Queens” and “Sweet but Psycho” are featured in Ava Max’s debut studio album “Heaven & Hell”.
      “It resembles everything I’ve gone through,” she explained the title, “and I think everybody goes through heaven and hell in their own ways, like good days, bad days, the yin and the yang you know? Both worlds, it’s never great all the time, so I think that’s why.”
      The album was divided into three sections; Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell. She elaborated, “Heaven is more of energetic, upbeat, and anthemic songs so if you’re feeling very happy, and Hell is more of a moody, sonically darker theme but there are no sad songs on that one, they’re all very bold and strong. I didn’t want any sad songs so they’re pretty much in-your-face anthems.”
