Keyshia first hinted that she’s filming for a “Verzuz” episode last week with an Instagram post. Alongside a picture of her in a car, the “Love” singer wrote in the caption, “How are you guys LONG TIME NO HEAR!!! #Versuz BATTLE OTW.”
While the “Love” hitmaker didn’t reveal her opponent, fans speculate that she’s going to have a face-off with Ashanti. The “Rain on Me” singer’s name was brought up after Keyshia appeared to challenge her for a battle back in July. At the time, Keyshia took to the comment section during Snoop Dogg and DMX’s battle. “@Ashanti was good,” she wrote.
One-time rap rivals Jeezy and Gucci Mane broke the series’ record for biggest-ever viewing figures two weeks ago, when over nine million viewers tuned in to watch their VERZUZ battle.
Other stars to take part in the initiative include Nelly and Ludacris, Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco, Alicia Keys and John Legend, DMX and Snoop Dogg, Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight, and Rick Ross and 2 Chainz.

Dec 7, 2020
AceShowbiz – Teyana Taylor shocked fans when she hinted at retirement in an Instagram post on Friday, December 4. Apparently, not only fans but also fellow musicians were surprised by the post with Cardi B showing support for the multi-hyphenate artist.
Taking to her Twitter account to sing Teyana praise on Saturday, the Grammy-winning raptress wrote to her followers, “If you know me then you know Teyana Taylor’s album it’s my favorite of 2020,” referring to Teyana’s “The Album”. “I swear she really got the best album this year.I hate that she feels how she feels cause she sooo talented and the music is soo good.”
When asked about her favorite song of the album, Cardi responded, “Tuh where do I start ……Wake up love,1800,morning,69,killa,…..Lose each other’s had me in my feelings in the beginning of October.” The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker further alluded that it was hard to pick a favorite since it was “just a very good project maaaannn.”

Teyana was among those who were snubbed at the 2021 Grammy nominations. Despite her critically-acclaimed set “The Album”, which was released in June, the “Lose Each Other” hitmaker was left with no nomination for the upcoming award-giving event. In the eyebrow-raising post, Teyana shared a Spotify data about how her music is streamed in 92 countries by 15.2 million listeners.
“Wow, who did that? Y’all did that! Thank you. I ain’t gone front in times of feeling super under appreciated as a artist, receiving little to no real push from the ‘machine’, constantly getting the shorter end of the stick, being overlooked, I mean the list on and on lol..,” she wrote in the caption, befire announcing, “I’m retiring this chapter of my story with the comfort that i can depart with peace of mind seeing that all the hard work & passion put in was indeed loved & supported somewhere in the world!”
Concluding her message, Teyana, who is signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, added, “To all my supporters from day 1 & all my new ones I love you and I thank you for everything & don’t worry y’all know. all hustlers have the understanding that when one door closes another will open…either that or I’m pickin da locks petunia!!! So wassup.”
Back in November, Teyana blasted Recording Academy. “Y’all was better off just saying best MALE R&B ALBUM cause all I see is d**k in this category (sic),” she tweeted.

The ‘After Hours’ star has recorded a Latin remix of his 2019 hit single with Spanish singer Rosalia and released it to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the smash hit.

Dec 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – R&B superstar The Weeknd has given his smash hit “Blinding Lights” a Latin revamp with the help of singer Rosalia to celebrate the song’s one-year anniversary.
The Canadian artist, who was sensationally snubbed in the Grammy Awards nominations last month (Nov20), teased the collaboration by sharing a photo of the pair on Instagram on Thursday (03Dec20), hours before the “Blinding Lights Remix” premiered on Friday.
Rosalia opens the track in Spanish, before switching to English as The Weeknd joins in for the chorus. She changes languages again towards the end of the tune, before The Weeknd closes out the single in English.

The song revamp is sure to boost the popularity of “Blinding Lights”, which was certified platinum in the U.S. in just four months, and was just named Spotify’s most-streamed song globally in 2020.

The song was taken from The Weeknd’s latest studio album “After Hours”. Despite having a commercially and critically lauded album and single, the artist didn’t get any nominations at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
“The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency…,” he blasted the Recording Academy.
He later added, “Collaboratively planning a performance for weeks to not being invited? In my opinion zero nominations = you’re not invited!”
The comment sparked speculation The Weeknd and Grammy bosses clashed over his decision to headline the Super Bowl, but Recording Academy chief Harvey Mason, Jr. insisted that’s not the case.
“To be clear, voting in all categories ended well before The Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl was announced, so in no way could it have affected the nomination process,” the Grammy boss claimed.

The ‘Treat You Better’ hitmaker feels ‘very free’ during the making of his new music as he talks about his latest studio offering called ‘Wonder’, which comes out two years after his self-titled set.

Dec 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – Shawn Mendes has described his new album “Wonder” as his “favourite art” to date.
The 22-year-old singer released his fourth record on Friday (04Dec20) – the follow-up to 2018’s self-titled LP – and he is delighted with how the collection turned out.
“(It is) my favourite art that I’ve ever made in my life,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “I know I really feel like I created an album that feels like freedom. I felt very free just making it. I felt like this is music that I love to listen to, this is music I want to hear, this is music I want to make and it’s gorgeous for that reason.”
The “Stitches” hitmaker collaborated with fellow Canadian pop star Justin Bieber on “Monster”, and revealed the song – which references the flip side to fame – was written three years ago.
“(It was written) when I was actually feeling a lot of (pressure about) who I was in a relationship with and (people) wanting to push me into this box…” he explained.

“Three years later, I actually listen back to it and it makes me think of every single person who has Instagram or Twitter and every single person who is checking their Instagram every five minutes to see if people approve of the last thing they posted.”
“It’s tough, because there is this (societal) pressure that everyone has and is putting on each other, and something that is so true and I don’t think is talked about enough is that the human condition is messy.”
Meanwhile, Shawn admitted he is “pretty mushy” when it comes to his romance with Camila Cabello and uses their love as inspiration for his music.
“I think we are both super sensitive, which creates a lot of sensitivity in our relationship, but we are songwriters, so we are constantly searching for the best topics in life,” he smiled.
“I don’t know, I am pretty mushy… I feel like she would probably say I am much more mushy.”

Gene Simmons and his bandmates are expected to stop by the ‘coldest place on the earth’ during their final tour which is scheduled to kick off next year following delay due to pandemic.

Dec 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – KISS will play “the coldest place on the earth” as part of their 2021 farewell tour.

However, because of the coronavirus pandemic, the rockers are postponing their European shows until June and July 2021, with the 17-date run now due to kick off on 2 June (20) in Antwerp, Belgium.
And Gene, 71, has revealed one of the gigs out of the 150 they are yet to complete will require them to wear their thermals.
Speaking on Los Angeles radio station 95.5 KLOS, the “Heaven’s On Fire” rocker said, “We’ve already booked Europe outdoors. Most of the shows have already sold out. We start in summer.”

“The vaccines are gonna be out there for everybody, oh, by January, February, March at the latest, but we’re gonna be out there a few months after that. And we’ve literally got 150 cities booked.”
He continued, “We’re gonna continue this tour, which we stopped after doing 110 cities. We’ve got another 150 cities to go, and who knows how long, but some of the later ones are gonna be jawdropping.”
“You can’t imagine what we’ve got planned – like, beyond … I said, ‘No. We can really do that?’ They said, ‘Yup. Yup.’ The political people said we can play there. And so there’s gonna be stuff that’s just gonna make you go, ‘That’s the coolest.’ ”
Speaking about the icy location, Gene added, “There’s one place that’s the coldest place on earth.”
“And if you can imagine us playing there with even larger pyro than you’ve ever seen, ’cause there’s nothing around there. But that’s all I’ll say about it.”

The ‘Cotton Candy’ hitmaker pours his heart out and shows his vulnerable side in his newly-released single which is inspired by his relationship with former girlfriend.

Dec 6, 2020
AceShowbiz – YUNGBLUD’s latest song details his “heartbreak” over his split from his ex-girlfriend Halsey.
The “Cotton Candy” hitmaker has admitted his split from the “Without Me” hitmaker – who he briefly dated last year – was his first real “heartbreak” and is the inspiration behind the emotional ballad “Love Song”, which shows a vulnerable side to the otherwise hyperactive rocker.
On the bridge, Yungblud croons, “They will try to pay for me to erase all the memories / But I can’t / But you shine so bright in a spotless mind / Someone gets left behind.”
[embedded content]
In an interview with British newspaper The Sun, Yungblud – real name Dominic Harrison – said, “It was my first heartbreak. It just wasn’t meant to be for us. That doesn’t mean we don’t love each other in some sort of way.”

The musician hailed Halsey “a genius” and insisted their romance was the real deal and by no means just “ammunition” to make the headlines.
He continued, “I have such respect for her as an artist.”
“I think she’s a genius. She taught me a lot and I like to think I taught her a lot as well. It’s very easy to use a Hollywood relationship as ammunition to get you more press or keep you relevant but our love wasn’t that, it was deeper. It was the real thing.”
Yungblud is also proud that the emotional number showcases his versatility as an artist.
He said, “I’ve been labelled bratty but that song shows my vulnerability. I can’t be put into one box.”
“Love Song” is featured on Yungblud’s new album, “Weird!”, which debuted on Friday 4 Dec (20).
