      Kanye West's Alleged HIV+ Transgender Ghostwriter Threatens to Expose Him

      Mykki Blanco, who claims to have written Yeezy’s part in Teyana Taylor’s song ‘Hurry’, is dropping an ultimatum to the ‘Follow God’ rapper after he reportedly skipped out on his payment.

      Nov 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – One of Kanye West’s ghostwriters is allegedly ready to go for a public war with the rapper. Mykki Blanco, an HIV positive transgender, is threatening to expose the GOOD Music founder after an alleged financial dispute.
      While the Atlanta-born star has admitted to using ghostwriters in the past, a ghostwriter should remain a secret, hence the term “ghostwriter.” However, according to MTO News, Mykki has launched an ultimatum that he’s going to come forward and tell the world that she’s been writing Kanye’s music because he skipped out on one of his payments.

      Back in July, Mykki made a claim that she wrote Ye’s rap part in Teyana Taylor’s song “Hurry”. The songwriter, who is also a rapper, performance artist, poet and activist for HIV and LGBT issues, tweeted at the time, “I wrote on and co-produced this track as well as writing the verse that Kanye literally raps on ‘Hurry’.”

      “Is that a big accomplishment to write for other artists no,” she added, expressing her displease. Noting that she meant no disrespect to Teyana, the ghostwriter claimed, “The reason I have gone public with this is not to bad mouth @teyanataylor.”
      Kanye’s past ghostwriters included some hip-hop stars who have placed their own names in the music industry, including Drake, Travis Scott (II), Lupe Fiasco and Jay-Z.
      Should the ghostwriter’s allegation be true, it’s another problem that Kanye will be dealing with after he’s sued by workers at his live opera show who allege he didn’t pay their wages. The 43-year-old rapper is accused of owing staff “unpaid wages” and of “failing to pay minimum wage and overtime,” with a lawsuit demanding $1 million in compensation.
      The suit states that the “Gold Digger” hitmaker “failed to properly compensate” dozens of employees, including a number of performers from his show. “Defendants oversaw, controlled and ran the production, and the aggrieved employees worked many hours on the production and were not timely paid for their work, or paid at all,” the documents read.

      Prior to the release, Nicki teased fans about the upcoming collaboration by sharing a throwback picture when she was pregnant with her and husband Kenny Penneth’s baby boy. “#WhatThatSpeedBout THURSDAY NIGHT NBA YOUNG BOY X BARBIE X MIKE WILL,” the self-proclaimed black Barbie wrote on November 3 alongside a picture of herself and YoungBoy on the filming set.

      The new song marks the first song featuring Nicki after she gave birth to her son back in September. While she has yet to reveal the name of her little bundle of joy, she previously treated her Instagram followers to the first picture of her baby. “Happy Anniversary, my love,” she captioned the snap featuring the baby boy’s tiny foot.
      Nicki was very secretive about her pregnancy. After dropping hints numerous times, she only confirmed she was eating for two back in July. The Young Money femcee also gave a brief story about her pregnancy struggles, “While I was in Trinidad earlier this year, I had the worst morning sickness of all time. Didn’t know morning sickness could last all day either.”

      Iggy Azalea Previews New Music in Sultry Video

      Instagram

      The new song, on which the Australian star is rapping about waking up with an ‘attitude,’ most likely will be included in ‘End of an Era’ which is planned to be released sometime in 2021.

      Nov 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Iggy Azalea is serving attitude in her new Instagram post. The “Fancy” hitmaker, who just welcomed her baby boy Onyx earlier this year, has taken to her Instagram account to tease her fans with a snippet from her third upcoming album, “End of an Era”.
      In a new video, the Australian star threw a seductive look at the camera while she was lying on bed in a dim-lit room. The new mom appeared to forgo a top as she went shirtless for the clip.

      Her sexy look aside, fans were excited to hear a little from her new music. She could be heard rapping, “Woke up this morning with a motherf**kin’ attitude/ Woke up this morning with ya baby daddy mad at you/ What? Don’t let him get too comfortable.”

      The song most likely will be included in “End of an Era”, which is planned to be released in 2021. The albu, was initially set to arrive over the summer but it’s getting pushed back to the next year.
      The delay might have something to do with her being pregnant with ex Playboi Carti’s child. The rapper, who first sparked pregnancy rumors in December 2019, was rumored to give birth to her baby in April. She remained mum until she finally broke her silence two months later. “I have a son,” the femcee revealed.
      “I kept waiting for the right time to say something but it feels like the more time passes the more I realize I’m always going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world?” she added. “I want to keep his life private but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret & I love him beyond words.
      In October, Iggy confirmed that she broke up with Playboi as she wrote on Instagram, “You lost a real 1!!! People take loyalty for granted & that’s why I’d rather be alone!!” She later confirmed the breakup in another note, “What I meant last night was that I’m raising my son alone & I’m not in a relationship.”

      Bernie Taupin Gets Candid About His Fear Over His Work in Elton John's 'Jewel Box'

      by

      When talking about the eight-disc set, the longtime collaborator of the ‘Rocket Man’ singer admits he felt fans would find their very early songs an embarrassment.

      Nov 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Bernie Taupin initially fought the release of Elton John’s “Jewel Box” collection because he feared their early songs would be an embarrassment.
      The eight-disc set features 60 previously unheard tracks, stretching all the way back to 1967, and the rocker’s longtime collaborator admits he felt fans would laugh at their first efforts.
      “To see the product of our initial attempts at songwriting 50 years after the fact… it’s a little alarming to reconvene with,” the lyricist tells Rolling Stone. “I wasn’t sure I wanted people to hear these things, to be honest. I thought I might be embarrassed by their naivete, especially the very, very early work.”

        See also…

      “After all, at that time I was really faking it. The whole idea of how to construct a song was foreign to me. The idea of verse/chorus/bridge was big-pants terminology to me. Back then, I was throwing it down on the page. It was brain-to-pencil sort of free-form. It was a gradual process to find my voice. There was a lot of mimicry involved, a lot of purloining from what was currently a hit.”
      “I was floundering and grasping at straws.”
      And Bernie admits the pair’s 1968 song “Regimental Sgt. Zippo”, which appears on the new box set was “an affectionate nod” to The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.
      “Can I honestly say that was a tip of the hat to Sgt. Pepper? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t,” he explains. “But it certainly proved that we were hanging on the coattails of things that were currently popular.”

      Darius Rucker Claims 2020 CMA Awards to Feature Country Music Family in One Room Since COVID-19

      WENN/DJDM

      Set to co-host the big show with Reba McEntire from Nashville, Tennessee on November 11, the ‘Wagon Wheel’ hitmaker reacts to question if the stars would perform in front of real fans.

      Nov 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Singer Darius Rucker has confused fans by suggesting the 2020 Country Music Association Awards will feature a live audience.
      The “Wagon Wheel” hitmaker will co-host the big show with Reba McEntire from Nashville, Tennessee on November 11, when artists including Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Combs will all take the stage at the Music City Center.
      Reports in September indicated there would be no fans at the annual event, due to coronavirus concerns, but during a TV appearance on Wednesday, November 4, Rucker appeared to indicate otherwise.
      Asked if he and his fellow country stars would be performing in front of real devotees, he smiled on America’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan”, “Yeah, we’re really proud.”
      “I’m really excited, just blown away by how the social distancing (will work) and how careful everybody’s being, all the performers will be there, the nominees will be there,” he continued.

      “Everyone will be social distanced and spread out and it will be the first time really the country music family has been (together) in one room all year.”

      Rucker was announced as McEntire’s co-host last month, but the singer feared he was in trouble when he first got the call asking if he’d be interesting in fronting the prizegiving with the country legend, a four-time host.
      “My manager… said, ‘Are you sitting down?’,” he shared. “My first thought was, ‘Oh my goodness… what have I done?’ But it was to do this…, so it was awesome.”
      Rucker is working on delivering “something really special” with McEntire for the big night, a collaboration they are both “really excited about”, while he will be sharing the stage with Lady A (Lady Antebellum), too: “We’re going to do Beers and Sunshine.”
      The CMA Awards will air live at 8 pm ET next Wednesday.

      Nas Thinks Social Media Blows Doja Cat Namedrop Out of Proportion

      by

      Instagram

      Earlier this year, Nas sparked buzz after he appeared to shade Doja on his song ‘Ultra Black, rapping, ‘We goin’ ultra Black, unapologetically black/ The opposite of Doja Cat, Michael Blackson black.’

      Nov 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nas once again addressed his shade at Doja Cat on his song “Ultra Black” of his album “King’s Disease”. The rapper, who previously claimed to not have any hard feelings for the “Say So” hitmaker, said in a new interview that social media was to be blamed for the tension between him and the singer.
      “Well, I’ve been away, so, of course, I mention someone’s name that’s popular and people are gonna talk about it,” Nas told NME on Tuesday, November 3, referring to the song which he released in August. “I hear people do it all the time but no one makes a big deal of it. Maybe it’s because I don’t put out records a lot, so they’re like, ‘Whoa!’ ”
      He went on explaining, “I don’t really know the world that these stars live in anymore. I’m rapping the same way I did when I was on the block, but now there’s a new world and what I say can take off with social media and I can’t do anything about it.”

      Nas sparked buzz after he rapped, “We goin’ ultra Black, unapologetically black/ The opposite of Doja Cat, Michael Blackson black,” on the said song. It prompted fans to think that he’s referencing to the “Moo!” rapper’s past controversy after a video surfaced showing her joining a group chat full of white supremacists.
      Doja, meanwhile, previously said that she couldn’t care less about the diss, alluding that she respects him as an artist she grew up on. “I don’t know, I’m just glad he’s still putting out music, ’cause I love him,” she explained to Fat Joe in a virtual interview when asked how she felt about being addressed by one of her favorite rappers. “I grew up on Nas, so to hear that, I’m like, ‘Damn,’ but also, ‘Damn!’ I f***ing love Nas, thank f***g God he noticed me.”
      “I made jokes about it, but other than that, you will never see me beef with Nas,” she continued. “He might want to beef with me, but you’re not gonna see me beef with Nas. You won’t see me respond.”
      Nas himself also had the same sentiment in his previous interview. “I just really was saying a rhyme that rhymed with ‘ultra black,’ ” Nas explained his lyrics during his appearance on “Power 106” in Los Angeles back in August. “I didn’t even think of it. It’s all love. It was just like, ‘Michael Blackson black’… It’s bars, it’s lines. We play with words.”
