Earlier this year, the rapper did a freestyle to vent his frustrations over police brutality against African-American suspects following George Floyd’s death. “For 400 years you had your knees on our necks/ A garden of evil with no seeds of respect/ In America’s mirror all she sees is regret/ Instead of letting blood live they begging for blood let,” he spat.
Meanwhile, the star, who hosted Grammys several times in the past, blasted Kanye West for peeing on the Golden Gramophone. “With all due respect, I think Kanye should just–maybe he should just piss in a Yeezy,” he said. “Look, now don’t get me wrong, there have been some foul things that have happened to some artists around the Grammys; they are not without flaw. But piss on one those f**king space shoes or something.”

Nov 8, 2020
AceShowbiz – Sam Smith has named Halsey, Robyn, and Ben Platt as their biggest LGBTQ+ influences.
The star is hosting a takeover of Spotify’s popular playlist “Out Now: Unlike Any Other”, which celebrates tracks loved by LGBTQ+ fans globally and will give them the chance to listen to some of the top tracks by queer artists that have inspired Sam’s latest hit album, “Love Goes”.
Speaking about their biggest inspirations, Sam, who came out as gender non-binary last year (19), reveals Halsey among their biggest muses, admitting the song 929 “really just made me want to push myself as well and be as honest and authentic as I could be.”
“I was blown away by her honesty and just how confessional and beautiful the song was,” Sam explains, before also heaping praise on Robyn’s hit “Be Mine”.

“She’s my favourite artist in the world, honestly,” gushes the hitmaker. “I will forever be trying to write songs as good as Robyn’s songs. There is an upliftingness to Be Mine, which is part of the whole dance and cry genre.”
And of Ben Platt’s “Ease My Mind”, Sam adds, “I got to see Ben Platt sing this song in a tiny little bar, and hearing his voice live and in person like that was unbelievable and I love how authentic he has remained through his album.”
You can tune into Sam’s “Out Now: Unlike Any Other” playlist on Spotify now.
“Love Goes” was released in late October. It’s Sam Smith’s third studio album, following 2017’s “The Thrill of It All”.
“The last two years have been the most experimental time of my life, personally but also musically,” the singer explained. “Every time I went to the studio I promised myself I would shoot for the stars and have no limitations. The result has been so magical and so therapeutic and FUN.”

The remaining three Little Mix stars will appear on Saturday’s finale and are expected to go ahead with the hosting gig for Sunday’s EMAs.

While he was “absolutely gutted” by the delay, Ramsey said, “Let’s be honest, I think if it was me they would just find another presenter and do the show anyway. See you all next week. Crossed fingers.”

The ‘Black Is King’ star has decided to ditch her plan for 2021 tour due to the ongoing health crisis and use her time to return to studio for her next studio installment instead.

Nov 8, 2020
AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles will reportedly put her focus on livestream concerts after pulling the plug on a planned 2021 tour.
According to The Sun, the “Diva” hitmaker planned a global trek for next year but, as the pandemic continues, she’s decided to scrap her plans and join the ranks of artists that will perform through livestreams.
“Beyonce and her team are currently mapping out a plan to create a virtual live show to showcase her new music in 2021, now that she can’t tour because of Covid,” a source explained.
“Following the success she had with (2016 album) Lemonade, and the Disney film Black Is King, she started writing and recording feel-good tracks inspired by new artists like Dua Lipa and The Shindellas,” they shared, adding, “She’s ready to dance again.”

As she continues work on her new album, Beyonce also plans to promote it with “a virtual show that fans can watch at home,” according to the insider, who went on tell the publication the star “has made it clear she’s prepared to pull out all the stops to make it a real spectacle.”
Stars including Billie Eilish, Kylie Minogue, Stormzy, Niall Horan, and Lewis Capaldi are among those who have resorted to putting on virtual concerts amid the Covid-19 crisis.
Late last month, Beyonce caused frenzy among his loyal fans after saying she wanted to “slow down” from music following pandemic.
“I truly cherish this time with my family, and my new goal is to slow down and shed stressful things from my life,” she told British Vogue. “I came into the music industry at 15 years old and grew up with the world watching, and I have put out projects nonstop.”
“It’s been heavy and hectic,” she added. “I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how. Now, I’ve decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy.”

The ‘Chop Suey’ band fronted by Serj Tankian get political as they release two new songs in a bid to raise awareness of the conflict in their home country Armenia.

Nov 7, 2020
AceShowbiz – Heavy metal rockers System of a Down have released their first new music since 2005 in a bid to raise awareness of the conflict in Armenia.
The Armenian-American band, led by frontman Serj Tankian, have three U.S. number one albums to their name but have been inactive for more than a decade.
In a surprise move on Friday (06Nov20), the group dropped two tracks, “Protect the Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz”, in solidarity with Armenians under fire from Azerbaijani, and Turkish forces during the lopsided conflict.

A statement on the “Chop Suey” hitmakers’ website reads. “We as System Of A Down have just released new music for the first time in 15 years.”

“The time to do this is now, as together, the four of us have something extremely important to say as a unified voice. These two songs, ‘Protect The Land’ and ‘Genocidal Humanoidz’ both speak of a dire and serious war being perpetrated upon our cultural homelands of Artsakh and Armenia.”
[embedded content]
“We’re proud to share these songs with you and hope you enjoy listening to them. Further, we encourage you to read on to learn more about their origins and once you do, hope you are inspired to speak out about the horrific injustices and human rights violations occurring there now.”
They went on to urge fans to speak up for and donate for those affected by “crimes against humanity” that have allegedly occurred during a conflict that began over the summer.
The songs are available to purchase on their Bandcamp website – with all royalties going to the Armenia Fund – which is providing much needed supplies to those in need.

“I actually had this song blessed by Stevie Nicks, because there is a kind of a nod to Edge of Seventeen in this song,” she said. “So, I actually reached out to her directly about, ‘this song, it has your spirit, your magic.’ I actually wrote this whole kind of message about, you know, ‘the kind of artist I want to be is the kind of artist that you’ve been for me, like I just hope that I can be that for other people.’ When I’ve felt lonely, Stevie Nicks has been there for me, whether she’s known it or not.”
Sharing the song on her Twitter page on Thursday (05Nov20), Miley wrote, “@StevieNicks has always been my idol & an inspiration. It’s an honour to now call her my friend and collaborator. Edge Of Midnight (Midnight Sky Remix) out everywhere!”
