    Sep 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lupe Fiasco sparked chatters among social media users due to his recent comment. Taking to his Twitter account over the weekend, the hip-hop musician claimed that he is a better lyricist than Kendrick Lamar and that made a lot of people convinced that he has a beef with the Grammy winner.
    It all started after Lupe quote tweeted a post asking if he or Kendrick is the better lyricist. In an answer to the question, he simply said, “Lupe but…” He deleted the post afterward, though it still caught attention because both his name and Kendrick trended on the micro-blogging site as some people assumed that Lupe wanted to ignite beef with Kendrick.
    For instance, one person compared their relationship to those of Drake and Kanye West as s/he said, “Kendrick is to Lupe Fiasco what Drake is to Kanye West…” Meanwhile, another person accused Lupe of being jealous of Kendrick. Someone else commented, “This is a weird beef. They both have very similar fan bases. I think Lupe is a bit jealous of Kendrick’s longevity.”

With that said do think I he’s a good lyricist? Yes. Do I think he’s the best lyricist? No. Do I think it’s lyricists that are better than him? Yes. Is he a better artist than me? Yes,” he said.

    “Is he a better lyricist than me? No. Does he make better songs than me? Yes. Did I think control was ridicule? No. Am I jealous of Kdot? No. Did I personally give him his props in chicago on stage as the next nigga to take the crown? YES. Is It on camera? Yes. Did I mean it? Yes,” he continued, before urging others not to pin them against each other.

      However, some other outlets begged to differ, with Complex taking to its official Twitter account to compare the two stars’ songs using information from both Billboard and the RIAA.
      Apr 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – French Montana received backlash after he claimed that he would “outshine” Kendrick Lamar at festival stage because he had more hits. However, the statement may not be entirely baseless as the entire crew at Hot 97 listed the two rapper’s bangers with French being declared as the winner.
      For the graphic, Peter Rosenberg represented Kendrick, while Kast One played French’s hit songs. With 6-4 decision, the “Coke Boys” rapper was named the winner. Catching wind of the satisfying results, French quickly took to his Twitter account to brag about it.
      “I GUEST IM NOT CRAZY AFTER ALL,” so he wrote on the blue bird app. “FRENCH MONTANA VS KENDRICK LAMAR HOT 97 TOUGHEST CRITICS SCORE 6-4 FRENCH MONTANA WINS WATCH FOR YOURSELF ! ITS GOOD TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF TO ALL YOU UNDERDOGS OUT THERE . WE JUST TALKING HITS NOTHING ELSE BY THE WAY.”

      French Montana reacted to his victory.
      However, some other outlets begged to differ. Complex took to its official Twitter account to compare the two stars’ songs using information from both #Billboard and the #RIAA. Unlike Hot 97, Kendrick beat French with more hits, hot 100 entries and multi-platinum certified hits. “Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don’t lie. We ran the numbers of Kendrick Lamar vs French Montana,” the account wrote in the caption.
      French, however, insisted that “them numbers all lies.” He added in a comment, “U missing 20 more platinum plaques.”
      Akadmiks also had the same results. He wrote on Instagram, “Here is the accurate side by comparison Plaque for plaque. ALL RIAA pulled info.” Once again, French jumped to the comment section to set the record straight, saying, “Most of kendricks features Too ! I never compared myself I just stood up for myself . we all now know kendrick one of the goats.”

      French sparked controversy with his remarks in a recent interview with Complex News where he said, “I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits.”
      He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”

      Despite the explanation, fans on Twitter continue to come at the ‘Unforgettable’ hitmaker with one fan noting to French that Kendrick’s ‘main focus isn’t making hits.’
      Apr 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – French Montana is setting the record straight. In a recent interview with Complex News, the rapper discussed his success in the hip-hop industry, insinuating that he would easily beat anyone including Kendrick Lamar. The statements earned him some hate comments, but French refused to change his mind in their favor.
      “I could go against anybody,” he said during the said interview. “You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits.”
      He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
      As soon as the video of the interview hit the web, some users started to clown French for it. The “Welcome to the Party” spitter caught wind of it, and took to his Twitter account to share more insight into his opinion on the matter.
      “IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!” French insisted. “I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE.”
      Assuring that there’s no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, “I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! set it up.”

      Despite the explanation, fans continued to come at French. To someone who noted that Kendrick’s “main focus isn’t making hits,” French responded, “My point exactly! He is a different artist. I was just sayin, I’ll win that part. He is gonna win everything else but give me mines lol.”
      “I was talking about hits, we can go neck to neck,” French wrote. “Not taking nothing away from him, just standing for myself.”

      AceShowbiz – Kendrick Lamar will join Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift at Glastonbury if festival bosses can avoid a coronavirus cancellation.
      The rapper has been added as the event’s third headliner, while Dua Lipa, the Pet Shop Boys, Suzanne Vega, Gilberto Gil, Sinead O’Connor, the Manic Street Preachers, Happy Mondays, and Mabel have also been named as performers, who will join the likes of Diana Ross, Supergrass and Lana Del Rey at Worthy Farm in Somerset in June.
      Announcing the updated bill for the 50th anniversary of the beloved festival, organiser Emily Eavis revealed she had her “fingers firmly crossed” the event will go ahead.
      “As things stand we are still working hard to deliver our 50th anniversary festival in June and we are very proud of the bill that we have put together over the last year or so,” she said.
      “No one has a crystal ball to see exactly where we will all be 15 weeks from now, but we are keeping our fingers firmly crossed that it will be here at Worthy Farm for the greatest show on Earth!”

      The coronavirus outbreak has already affected several tours and festivals, with acts like The Who, BTS (Bangtan Boys), Miley Cyrus, the Zac Brown Band, Kiss, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Queen, and Madonna cancelling or postponing shows, while the SXSW, Coachella, Stagecoach, and Ultra Music festivals in the U.S. have been scrapped or rescheduled. Austria’s Snowbombing 2020 has also been called off due to the pandemic, as has the Country To Country festival, which was due to take place in England, Scotland and Ireland this weekend.
