    Megan Thee Stallion Still Stunned by Grammy Victories as She Calls Her Win With Beyonce 'Epic'

    CBS

    The ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker still ‘can’t believe’ she won three Golden Gramophones, including sharing a Best Rap Performance honour with Beyonce Knowles.

    Mar 16, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion is in shock after the star picked up three Grammy Awards on Sunday (14Mar21) night.
    The 26-year-old singer admitted it “feels amazing” to have scooped Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song – the latter two for her “Savage” remix with Beyonce – as well as performing with Cardi B.
    She told Entertainment Tonight, “I couldn’t believe I was here when I got here and I can’t believe I’m leaving here with three of these.”
    Megan also admitted it was an “epic moment” for her to go on stage holding hands with Beyonce to accept their Best Rap Performance honour.

    She said, “It was such an epic moment. Beyonce is just a treasure to everybody in Houston, pretty sure everybody in the world, but specifically where we are from we just absolutely love Beyonce. And to have her just seal the deal for me, it’s like a pat on the back like, ‘I am proud of you girl.’ ”
    That win allowed Beyonce to tie with Alison Krauss for the most Grammys awarded to a female artist, with 27, and she went on to break the record later in the evening after winning Best R&B Song for “Black Parade”, and Megan was thrilled by the achievement.
    She said, “It’s important, being a Black woman entertainer and Black woman in general. We are here, we here to stay, we gonna stay over.”
    As well as her wins, Megan joined Cardi B on stage for a performance of their hit single “WAP” – which followed her collaborator’s rendition of “Up” – before singing her own tracks “Body” and “Savage”, and she admitted they had been working on the segment for a long time.
    She said, “We spent so many weeks, I think it was a whole month preparing for this performance, and to see it all come together, I am so happy.”

    Beyonce Not Performing at Grammys Despite Leading Nominations

    Instagram

    The Recording Academy confirms the ‘Formation’ hitmaker is not among the musical guests at the upcoming Grammy Awards, calling her absence ‘unfortunate.’

    Mar 14, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Beyonce will not perform at the 2021 Grammy Awards despite receiving nine nominations.
    Although the 39-year-old star has been nominated for nine awards at the ceremony – which will take place in Los Angeles on Sunday (14Mar21), Beyonce will not be among the performers, Recording Academy interim chief executive Harvey Mason Jr has confirmed.
    He told The Los Angeles Times, “It’s unfortunate, because she’s such a big part of the Recording Academy. We absolutely wish we had her onstage.”
    Asked whether viewers might find it strange that Beyonce will not perform, producer Ben Winston admitted, “They might.”
    Meanwhile, Ben also revealed that the In Memoriam segment will be extended to 12 minutes and feature several artists paying tribute to musicians including John Prine, who died last April from COVID-19.

    Meanwhile, The Weeknd recently revealed that he won’t have anything to do with The Grammys in the future, after previously calling the awards “corrupt.”
    He said, “Because of the secret committees I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys.”
    And he previously said, “The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency…”
    The Grammy Awards this coming weekend is expected to be opened by Harry Styles.
    The announcement came after former One Direction Bandmate Zayn Malik cursed out the Recording Academy. “F**k the grammys and everyone associated,” he vented his anger on Twitter in a surprise post. “Unless you shake hands and send gifts, there’s no nomination considerations. Next year I’ll send you a basket of confectionary.”

    Beyonce's Mother Defends Jay-Z as He's Called 'Sellout' for Producing Super Bowl Halftime Show

    WENN/Instagram

    Tina Knowles-Lawson has come to her son-in-law’s defense as he faces criticisms for being in charge of the Super Bowl LV halftime show headlined by The Weeknd.

    Feb 24, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson has praised her son-in-law Jay-Z, calling the rapper a “true man” in a gushing open letter.
    Tina shared the letter to Instagram after it was announced that the “Empire State of Mind” star had sold 50 per cent of his champagne brand, Armand de Brignac, to luxury goods company LVMH’s Moet Hennessy.
    “Jay I salute you and your Latest venture … You are a bad ass brother and I hope that you continue to pave the way for others like you have in the past!!” Tina wrote. “And I have seen such extreme kindness and generosity so many times that people don’t even know anything about! You are a true man who has admitted publicly when you’ve made mistakes in a very brave and classy way! You have in turn influenced the Culture of Young Black Men. You are a Bad Ass brother. I love you so much!!”
    Tina also referenced the way that Jay, who shares three children with wife Beyonce, and his record label Roc Nation had helped curate the Super Bowl LV entertainment.

    “Everyone was psyched about it! Each person that performed Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R. and The Weekend all slaying their performances and making Black Excellence shine and us all proud,” she continued. “I could not help but remember when J took on being in charge of the Entertainment at the Super Bowl, and saying that things would never change unless we had someone on the inside that could make decisions. Someone at the top.”
    Despite the fact that he was called “a sellout” for the Super Bowl commitment, Jay “kept it moving” – with Tina commenting, “One thing that I’ve noticed about Jay is that he doesn’t let what people say bully him into not doing the things that he knows are right.”

    Beyonce’s Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams was among those commenting on Tina’s post, using red heart emojis to express her love of the letter.

    Beyonce Knowles' Daughter Gets Her First Ever Grammy Nomination for 'Brown Skin Girl'

    https://www.beyonce.com/

    Weeks after announcing the prestigious awards’ 2021 nominees, Recording Academy adds Blue Ivy Carter in the coveted list alongside Nigerian singer Wizkid who is also featured on the song.

    Dec 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles’s eight-year-old daughter has officially been credited as a Grammy Award nominee for her contributions to the R&B superstar’s “Brown Skin Girl” video.
    The promo will compete for the Best Music Video prize at the 31 January (21) ceremony, but when the nominations were originally announced last month, Blue Ivy Carter’s name was not mentioned on the shortlist, despite featuring on the tune and in the accompanying visuals.
    [embedded content]
    However, that has since been corrected by Recording Academy bosses, who have updated the shortlist on their website to recognise the youngster’s work.

    Nigerian singer Wizkid, who, like Blue, appears on both the track and in the video, is also a new addition to the Grammy credits for “Brown Skin Girl”, although fellow artist SAINt JHN, whose vocals are featured on “Brown Skin Girl”, is not included as a nominee in the update, reports The Associated Press.
    All three, along with Beyonce and her rap mogul husband Jay-Z, are credited among the co-writers on “Brown Skin Girl”.
    The Grammy Award for Best Music Video is traditionally presented to the main artist and any featured guests on the winning song, in addition to the promo director and producer.
    Blue is Beyonce and Jay-Z’s eldest child, and the kid already boasts BET and NAACP Image awards for lending her vocals to “Brown Skin Girl”. The video for the track was released in July as part of Beyonce’s “Black Is King” visual album.
    The hip-hop supercouple also shares three-year-old twins Sir and Rumi.

    Dolly Parton Always Hopes Beyonce Would Cover 'Jolene' Someday

    WENN/Ivan Nikolov

    Aside from talking about her dream rendition of her 1974 tune, the country legend claims one of her proudest moments was Whitney Houston’s 1992 take on her song ‘I Will Always Love You’.

    Dec 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dolly Parton wants Beyonce Knowles to cover her hit “Jolene”.
    So many artists have re-recorded the country queen’s hits, making her a stash of cash over the years, and the 1974 tune is a favourite, but Dolly dreams of one more big hit with the track.
    “Jolene has been recorded more than any other song that I have ever written,” she tells The Big Issue. “It has been recorded worldwide over 400 times in lots of different languages by lots of different bands.”
    “The White Stripes did a wonderful job of it, and many other people. But nobody’s ever had a really big hit record on it. I’ve always hoped somebody might do someday, someone like Beyonce.”

      See also…

    Meanwhile, one of Dolly’s proudest moments was the reaction to the late Whitney Houston’s 1992 take on her song “I Will Always Love You”.
    “I had a number one with ‘I Will Always Love You’ twice – once in the 70s, then I did it in the movie ‘The Best Little Whorehouse’ in Texas, and had another number one in the 80s. And then Whitney did it and it was considered one of the greatest love songs of all time. Still to this day I take a lot of pride in that.”
    The 74-year-old made a joke about her and her marriage to Carl Thomas during her appearance in the Wednesday, December 2 episode of “Table Manners” podcast. “My husband and I have been together for 57 years and married for 54, and I’m sick of him and I’m sure he’s sick of me,” she quipped to English singer Jessie Ware and her mom.
    Elsewhere in the chat, the “9 to 5” hitmaker additionally opened up about her weaknesses. When asked about her love for food, she lightheartedly confessed, “My weaknesses have always been men, sex and food and not necessarily in that order.”
