      Eminem Doubles Down on Defiant Attitude to Critics' Attempt to Cancel Him With 'Tone Deaf' Video

      Armed and ready to respond to the new social media campaign that seeks to cancel him over his controversial lyrics, Em releases an animated video for his 2020 song.

      Mar 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Eminem has responded to social media campaign that sought for his cancellation over his controversial lyrics. No stranger to backlash since early of his rising career, instead of dropping a new freestyle or recording a new track, the Grammy Award-winning artist released a music video for his already existing song aptly titled “Tone Deaf”.
      Lifted off his 2020 album “Music to Be Murdered By”, the song reflects his defiant attitude to the cancel culture. “It’s okay not to like my s**t/ Everything’s fine, drink your wine, b***h/ And get offline, quit whinin’, this is just a rhyme, b***h,” he raps on the song.
      Em adds in the chorus, “I can’t understand a word you say (I’m tone-deaf)/ I think this way I prefer to stay (I’m tone-deaf).” He also tweeted, “I won’t stop even when my hair turns grey (I’m tone-deaf)/ ‘Cause they won’t stop until they cancel me,” referencing another line from the track, when announcing the release of the animated video on Friday, March 6.
      The attempt to cancel Em apparently kicked off in February, when a Gen Z TikTok user argued the rapper’s 2010 hit “Love the Way You Lie” glorifies toxic relationships and domestic violence. A user, who has been banned from the video-sharing application, played a snippet of the song and appeared to take issue with the lyric which goes, “If she ever tries to f**king leave again, I’ma tie her/ to the bed and set this house on fire.”

      In the critic’s video, the song plays while someone looks into the camera with the text “Yesssss lets [sic] cancel him” being displayed.
      Em, however, has survived from attempts to cancel him in the past. Throughout his career, he faced backlash for creating far more offensive music than “Love the Way You Lie”. One person even noted that the rapper’s debut single, “My Name Is”, opened with the line, “Hi kids, do you like violence?”
      Em was also heavily criticized when his unreleased song “Things Get Worse” leaked online in 2019. In the said song, he dissed Rihanna, whom he has collaborated with several times, including on “Love the Way You Lie”.
      “I’m not playing, Rihanna, where’d you get the VD at?/ Let me add my two cents/ Of course I side with Chris Brown/ I’d beat a b***h down too/ If she gave my d**k an itch now,” he raps on the controversial song.
      He then apologized to Rih on his song “Zeus” off “Music to Be Murdered By – Side B”, which part of the lyrics goes, “And wholeheartedly, apologies, Rihanna/ For that song that leaked, I’m sorry, Ri/ It wasn’t meant to cause you grief.”

      Diane Warren Has to Wait Until 2022 to Collect Her Polar Music Prize Due to Delay Amid Pandemic

      by

      WENN

      The Songwriters Hall of Famer will be honored at the prestigious Polar Music Prize ceremony along with the 2022 laureates as the event is postponed for the second consecutive year.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Diane Warren will have to wait another year to pick up the prestigious Polar Music Prize as the ceremony has been postponed for the second year in a row.
      The songwriter and Anna Netrebko were named the 2020 laureates, but last year’s event was scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic, and now the rescheduled prizegiving has been bumped to May, 2022, when the two musicians will be honoured alongside the to-be-announced 2022 laureates.
      “Next year is special to us as it will be 30 years since the first presentation of the Polar Music Prize to Sir Paul McCartney and the Baltic States in 1992,” Alfons Karabuda, the chairman of the Polar Music Prize committee says. “We will continue in the very special tradition initiated by the founder of the Prize, the late Stikkan Anderson, but there is no such thing as business as usual with the Polar Music Prize.”

      “No year bears resemblance with the previous ones and 2022 will be no exception. So what can we say about the laureates of 2022? Well, nothing until February 8th, when the announcement will take place in Stockholm.”
      The Polar Music Prize, founded in Sweden by ABBA manager Stig Anderson, is dispersed each year to one artist from the realm of pop and one from the world of classical or jazz music.
      Past recipients included Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Bjork, Sting’ Metallica, Grandmaster Flash, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, and Yo-Yo Ma.

      Mar 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Drake has promised fans “Certified Lover Boy” is “in the pot and coming soon.”
      The “Toosie Slide” hitmaker has given an update on the delayed record and teased it’s “currently being chef’d in every way possible” as he revealed that he’s been cooking up tunes once again with Noel Cadastre and Noah ’40’ Shebib.
      Speaking on OVO Sound Radio, he continued, “I don’t have an exact date, but it’s in the pot and it’s coming soon.”
      This week (end07Mar21) saw the 34-year-old rapper release three news songs on “Scary Hours 2”.

      After teasing a follow-up to his 2018 EP “Scary Hours”, the hip-hop superstar delivered three new tracks on the sequel, “What’s Next”, “Wants and Needs” featuring Lil Baby, and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” with Rick Ross.
      “Certified Lover Boy” was delayed in order for Drake to focus on his recovery from knee surgery.
      The album was originally scheduled for release early this year.
      “I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” he explained to his online devotees on Instagram Story. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021. (sic)”
      While details of the album are still sketchy, the rapper previously said his new music might draw mixed response, just like the reaction he got for his 2016 record. “They hated on Views just like they will CLB (Certified Lover Boy) but it’s music to evolve to,” he said.

      Myleene Klass Blames Hear'Say Messy Breakup for Her Refusal to Reunion

      by

      Instagram

      During an appearance on Sink The Pink’s ‘Pop Tarts’ Instagram Live, the ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant admits to have been approached by ex-bandmate Suzanne Shaw about the get-together.

      Mar 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Myleene Klass didn’t want to reunite with Hear’Say because she resented being the one left to deal with their messy breakup.
      The “Pure and Simple” hitmakers, which also included Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Noel Sullivan and Danny Foster, mark 20 years since they were formed on TV show “Popstars” this year (2021). And though they had been rumored to get back together, the 42-year-old pianist turned down an approach – partly because she was very busy, but also because she’s still unhappy about how things ended.
      Kym quit the group in December 2001 amid rumors of tension between her and Myleene, but failed to tell her bandmates before the news was made public, creating a “bitter” atmosphere.
      And during an appearance on Sink The Pink’s “Pop Tarts” Instagram Live, Myleene explained, “You’ve got to remember though, for me, I feel like I was the last to leave the band as I was the one to turn the lights out in the office.”
      “I had to walk into a massive brand [meeting] and they said, ‘What are we gonna do now? We’ve got half a million Easter eggs and there’s five of you on them’ and I’m 21 years old going, ‘umm.’ ”
      “They want their money back and I’m like, ‘I don’t have it. I assure you I don’t have that money for your half a million pound easter egg deposit.’ Every day there is a member depleting, so I remember having to close down the books on that kind of stuff, shut down the accounts.”

        See also…

      Myleene also revealed Suzanne visited her at home last year to urge her to take part in the reunion, but she wouldn’t change her mind.
      “There was definitely talk last year,” she continued. “Suzie came to my house just to have the discussion. I said, ‘look at the minute, I have so much on.’ ”
      The “Dancing on Ice” contestant recalled how devastated she was when the band, which ultimately replaced Kym with Johnny Shentall, went their separate ways.
      “It’s funny, isn’t it, because it’s 20 years ago. So, if I asked you what happened around the photocopier in the office 20 years ago, you can’t really remember,” she mused. “But, of course, it was sad when it ended because we thought we were going to be bigger than U2. Well, I did. I don’t know what everyone else thought.”
      Despite Myleene’s repeated public refusals to be part of a reunion, Kym recently insisted they will mark the milestone in some way.
      She said, “We’d like to give a little nod to the fact that it’s 20 years. What we’ll do, I have no idea. But we’d like to do something to mark the occasion — we’ll have to wait and see…”

      Bruno Mars Responds to Cultural Appropriation Accusations

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘That’s What I Like’ hitmaker addresses the accusations in an episode of ‘The Breakfast Club’, telling host Charlamagne Tha God that his music ‘comes from love’

      Mar 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – While his music is critically acclaimed, Bruno Mars has faced accusations of cultural appropriation throughout his career. The “Versace on the Floor” singer has finally addressed the matter during his appearance on “The Breakfast Club” interview alongside his Silk Sonic teammate Anderson .Paak.
      “People love to accuse you of being a cultural thief, which I find interesting because you are a person of color,” host Charlamagne Tha God said to the biracial singer. “What would you say to those people?”
      Sharing that he has always given credit to the funk, R&B and pop artists who appeared before him, Bruno responded, “I would say: You can’t look at an interview, you can’t find an interview where I’m not talking about the entertainers that’ve come before me. And the only reason why I’m here is because of James Brown, is because of Prince, [Michael Jackson]–that’s the only reason why I’m here.”

        See also…

      The “24K Magic” artist went on to say, “I’m growing up as a kid, watching Bobby Brown [and] saying, ‘OK, if that’s what it takes to make it, then I’ve got to learn how to do the running man, I’ve got to learn how to do the moon walk.’ That’s it.” Bruno also insisted that “this music comes from love, and if you can’t hear that, then I don’t know what to tell you.”
      He further noted that it was totally normal for musicians to learn something from artists who came before them. “What is the point if us, as musicians, can’t learn from the guys that’ve come before us? What did they do?” he questioned.

      When asked if the criticism made him upset, Bruno said, “It comes with the gig. And there’s real merit to what people are saying about Black entertainers not getting their flowers, and I’m championing with that, I’m with that … I understand, but it’s just Twitter.”

      Instagram

      The pair have launched ‘Leave the Door Open’, their first single as a duo, as they are gearing up for the release of their upcoming debut studio album titled ‘An Evening With Silk Sonic’.

      Mar 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have released Silk Sonic’s first single, “Leave the Door Open”.
      The pair have teamed up to record an album called “An Evening With Silk Sonic”, and the first tune from the record – which also features “special guest host” Bootsy Collins – is out now with a music video, which sees them dripping in pieces from Bruno’s Lacoste x Ricky Regal Collection.

      The “Finesse” singer has just teamed up with Lacoste to launch his new lifestyle brand, Ricky Regal.
      “Inspired by a lust for life and an entrepreneurial Midas touch, the collection bridges Bruno’s enigmatic personality and distinct style with Lacoste’s iconic blend of sport and luxury,” the company said in a statement.

      Teasing the new single and record from his new outfit, Bruno previously tweeted, “We locked in and made an album. The band’s called Silk Sonic. First song drops next Friday 3/5. (sic)”
      Rapper Anderson tweeted, “WE MADE AN ALBUM!! YALL GET THE FIRST SONG NEXT FRIDAY 3/5!! ROCKET EMOJIS AND ALL THAT!!! (sic)”
      The pair are no strangers to working together, after they toured with each other on the 35-year-old singer’s “24K Magic World Tour” in 2017.
      Bruno hasn’t dropped an album since 2016’s “24K Magic”.
      Details of their upcoming collaborative album are still sketchy, but there was speculation that the pair had worked on new material with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers and a member of Disclosure after a video emerged on social media of the quartet at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.

      Elaborating the new direction that his music will take with his next album, the husband of Hailey Baldwin shares, “In a time when there’s so much wrong with this broken planet we all crave healing and justice for humanity.
