      The ‘Stoner’ rapper would love to hit the stage in a rap-off against the ‘Lollipop’ hitmaker for Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’s popular online music battle series.

      Dec 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Young Thug wants to see a “Verzuz” battle between himself and Lil Wayne.
      Timbaland and Swizz Beatz their Covid-busting online initiative earlier this year (20), setting up rap battles between stars including Snoop Dogg and DMX, and Jill Scott and Erykah Badu.
      Now Young Thug has thrown his hat into the ring, insisting a Verzuz battle with Lil Wayne would be fantastic to watch.

      During an interview on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Young Thug said, “It would probably have to be like (Lil Wayne). Because you got to think – we got to talk about influence. We got to talk about everything. We got to talk about everything. It’s not just about no rap.”
      “You got to understand, as rappers, as hip-hop artists, you can only go so far. I always just focused on the next level.”
      Young Thug also reflected on when his beef with Wayne started – recalling that his peer ignored him the first time they met.
      Meanwhile, 50 Cent thought it would be more interesting to see Lil Wayne battle it out with his former protege Drake. “I think because of the momentum, the best thing would be Lil Wayne versus Drake,” the “Get Rich or Die Tryin” star said in a recent interview before explaining, “because it’s two styles, two different styles in the same period so it will be entertaining enough to watch both of them.”

      by

      Instagram

      In a snippet from Clubhouse, the ‘Money Keep Coming’ emcee alludeds that late singer Michael Jackson is the only one musician who deserved the title of a universal artist.

      Dec 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – YK Osiris is another star who catches the heat over his alleged controversial remarks on Clubhouse. An audio clip from the app featured the “Leave Me on Read” dissing fellow rap stars Drake and Lil Wayne, alluding that they aren’t popular outside the United States.
      In the snippet, Osiris could be heard telling the other Clubhouse members, “A lot of people don’t know Drake or Wayne, I promise you that.” He then insisting, “My brother, a lot of people don’t [know them].”
      Osiris later alluded that Michael Jackson was the only one musician who deserved the title of a universal artist. “You can do that with Michael Jackson,” he stated, before adding, “Some people don’t know [Drake and Wayne], I’m telling you that.”
      Prior to Osiris, Mulatto was criticized online for allegedly saying that colorism wasn’t real. While it was uknown what exactly Mulatto said on the app, some Internet users slammed the B***h From Da Souf” raptress on Twitter. “So Mulatto said that colorism doesn’t exist but goes by Mulatto…am I understanding correctly?” one critic wrote. Another person added, “Mulatto digging herself in a bigger hole than she thinks.”

      However, Mulatto immediately set the record straight. Denying ever saying such things, the hip-hop star cleared the air in a tweet, “I WOULD NEVER SAY NO S**t LIKE COLORISM DOESN’T EXIST!” In another tweet, she went on to urge, “Please stop with the false narrative!”
      Back to Osiris, the rapper had his and Toosi’s outdoor party in Jacksonville, Florida ruined. The planned outdoor concert, which took place at Sk8 City Fun Zone in the Regency Square Mall on Sunday night, December 27, was shut down before it even started after multiple shots erupted.
      “Last night at my show in Jacksonville, Florida I got maced for no reason at all along with several of my fans (young fans),” Toosii shared on Instagram alongside of a video showing the chaotic moment from the event. “They shut it down because of capacity so I went outside to greet everyone and this is what happened. I love y’all and f**k them i’ll be back.”
      A rep for Excelsior Security Agency (ESA), which handles security for Jacksonville, Fla.’s Regency Court Plaza and Sk8 City Fun Zone, shared that they were notified of “shots fired” near the concert location when they were doing traffic control for the event. Later, the Jacksonville’s Sheriff’s Office filed an incident report about the shooting. While no one was injured in the incident, police reportedly found five bullet casings in the mall’s parking lot.

      Toosii Gets Maced by Police After Shooting Erupts at His Concert With YK Osiris

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Dreams’ rapper claims on Instagram that he got pepper sprayed ‘for no reason at all’ while greeting his fans after his Jacksonville show with the ‘Worth It’ spitter was shut down.

      Dec 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – A party hosted by Toosii and YK Osiris in Jacksonville, Florida has taken a turn for the worse. The two rappers were attempting to throw an outdoor concert for their fans at Sk8 City Fun Zone in the Regency Square Mall on Sunday night, December 27, but it was shut down even before it began.
      To make matter worse, Toossii claimed he got pepper sprayed by police when he was greeting his fans on the street. Taking to his Instagram page, the North Carolina rapper, who was born Nau’Jour Grainger, shared a video of the incident.
      In the clip, Toosii and Osiris can be seen getting on top of a car to engage with fans, who were cheering for them, before things turned chaotic. One of the rappers was jumping off the hood of the car, apparently after getting maced by police.
      “Last night at my show in Jacksonville, Florida I got maced for no reason at all along with several of my fans (young fans),” Toosii claimed in the caption. “They shut it down because of capacity so I went outside to greet everyone and this is what happened. I love y’all and f**k them i’ll be back.”

      According to a report from Action News Jax, the concert was shut down after shooting erupted near the location of the show. Thousands of mostly teenage concertgoers had gathered at Sk8 City Fun Zone when multiple shots were fired.
      A rep for Excelsior Security Agency (ESA), which handles security for Jacksonville, Fla.’s Regency Court Plaza and Sk8 City Fun Zone, said they were doing traffic control for the event when they were notified of “shots fired” near the concert location. The Jacksonville’s Sheriff’s Office filed an incident report about the shooting.
      At 8:30 P.M. EST, the City of Jacksonville Fire Marshal’s Office came to the concert’s location and closed down the parking lot. At 9:15 P.M., the Fire Marshal had the event shut down because of “more than one violation.”
      “Chaos. People running around everywhere,” an eyewitness recalled the situation that night. “After that, the crowd dispersed. Then police came out with AR’s.”
      Luckily, no one was injured in the incident, but police did find five bullet casings in the mall’s parking lot. Witnesses said two people were handcuffed and placed in the back of the squad car, although it is unclear if the two people were involved in the shooting or charged in the incident.

      Young Thug Dragged on Twitter After Claiming to Have More 'Stadium Anthems' Than Jay-Z

      by

      WENN/https://www.beyonce.com//Apega

      The ‘Stoner’ rapper is trending on the blue bird app for shading the ‘Run This Town’ spitter though he quickly retracts his comment and acknowledges that Hova probably has more than 50 stadium-worthy songs.

      Dec 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Young Thug has made himself a sort of public enemy after dissing one of the biggest hip-hop stars in the late 20th to early 21st century. The Atlanta native has caught a lot of flak from Twitter users after questioning Jay-Z’s music catalog.
      Appearing in a Monday, December 28 episode of Gillie Da Kid’s “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Thugger was bragging about having 30 or 40 stadium-worthy anthems. He then compared his songs to Jigga’s, saying, “Jay-Z ain’t got 30 songs like that.”
      Gillie disagreed, saying of Hova, “He got a lot, though.” Apparently realizing he said something wrong, Thug quickly backtracked on his remark as he acknowledged, “I’m just saying like, I know he do, he probably got 50 of them b***hes.”
      “I’m not literally saying him,” the 29-year-old went on clarifying. “I’m saying n***as who you thinking … I seen n***as like, ‘Damn, they don’t know this song?’ I’m so scared to get boo’ed, I don’t even perform songs they won’t know.”

      With a career that has spanned over two decades and 13 studio albums, Jay-Z has a bunch of Billboard hits and has sold over 29,179,000 studio albums as of December 2014. Meanwhile, Thug has released one solo studio album, three EPs and 19 mixtapes.

      While Thug quickly backtracked on his comment, the damage has been done. Jay-Z’s fans won’t let it pass and has been dragging the “Go Crazy” spitter on Twitter, making his name trending on the blue bird app for the wrong reason.
      “25 years of rapping and Jay-Z don’t have 30 songs that a stadium knows and Young Thug does? Bruh…..cmon,” freelance journalist Keith Nelson Jr. reacted to Thug’s remark. Another noted, “First he disrespected 3 Stacks & now he’s dissing Jay-Z saying he doesn’t have 30 songs like that. Young Thug took a bad audience not knowing Jay’s s**t & is using it to further divide youth & elders. We don’t need this negativity separating 2 artists with hella fans & influence.”
      “Did Young Thug compare his ignorant a** to Jay Z??” a third user slammed Thugger. Another told Thug to focus on making music instead, “Young Thug needs to just stop talking on legends and focus on releasing PUNK.”
      A fifth commenter added, “Young Thug needs to pipe down. I was born in 1998 and can rap more Jay Z songs Woman shrugging these new generation rappers think to highly of themselves Rolling on the floor laughing nigga Jay-Z entire albums have no skips tf.”
      “what does he gain from slandering Jay like are you dumb??” a baffled user asked. Another commented, “Young thug got JAY Z CONFUSED! Lmao n******a WHET,” while someone else quipped, “I’m here tryna figure out if I know 30 young thug songs much less 30 Jay Z songs.”
      There were a few, however, who agreed with Thug’s initial comment. “He is not lying tho and this is not him saying he is better than jay z it’s just the truth…..NO ONE KNOWS 30 JAY Z SONGS BY HEART,” one explained. Another argued, “Young Thug ain’t lie tho, Lls the only Jay Z song I know is the story of OJ.”

      Dec 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nile Rodgers hasn’t ruled out a duet with Dua Lipa.
      Despite the “Don’t Start Now” hitmaker turning down the music legend’s contributions on her latest album, “Future Nostalgia”, the “Le Freak” hitmaker says his door is always open for a collaboration with the pop megastar.
      He told British newspaper The Sun, “That’s up to her. We got along great, we really liked each other.”
      “She can call me any time – I’m down.”

      Although the pair spent time in the studio together in 2019, Dua decided she wanted to make the arrangements for her LP more futuristic instead of retro disco.
      She explained at the time, “I think I just needed a bit more of a future element in terms of production. The production we did together was amazing, but took it into beautiful disco and Chic. It needed to be more current.”
      Dua recently broke online live-stream records with her Studio 2054 virtual concert, which pulled in over five million viewers, including over 1.9 million unique log-ins from China, 95,000 from India and over 263,200 tickets sold on regular ticketing platforms. The total is said to be a record for a paid live-stream, according to Variety.
      The extravaganza featured guest appearances from Sir Elton John, Kylie Minogue, FKA twigs, and more.
      Dua Lipa also receives multiple nominations at the upcoming 2021 Grammy Awards. Her album is up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album while her single “Don’t Start Now” is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

      Rapper Chika Defends Grammys Amid 2021 Nomination Controversy

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Project Power’ star who gets a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist insists, ‘They’re always going to miss somebody,’ in response to the 2021 nomination controversy.

      Dec 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rapper Chika reflected on the exclusion of artists from awards shows like the Grammys insisting, “they’re always going to miss somebody.”
      The “Project Power” star received a best new artist nomination for the awards in November (20). However, artists such as The Weeknd and Ellie Goulding spoke out after being overlooked. However, the 23-year-old insisted it’s just “the nature of awards.”
      “People generally feel like the Grammys don’t really understand hip-hop, that they vote in people without knowing what’s going on,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “How did you feel about the Grammys before your nomination? And how do you feel about it after seeing this year’s nominees? Absolutely the same before and after.”

        See also…

      She continued, “I’ve had those moments of being a fan and not seeing someone who I think deserves it be nominated. I fully understand the frustration and confusion when it comes to people being like, ‘yo, they don’t ever get it right.’ I also think that people think that the Grammys is for white people who are like, ‘All right, give us the songs. Now let’s begin.’ That’s not how it works.”
      “There are people who work on these songs and who are in the industry who are given the opportunity to nominate people based on how the year is reflected. With that being so subjective because it’s art, they’re always going to miss somebody. It’s the nature of awards.”
      The “My Power” hitmaker insisted that whether she wins or loses, she’ll still feel like “I already won,” no matter what happens on the day.
      “Even with me getting this nomination, I celebrated the way it felt, because who knows what’s going to happen the day I show up? I’m not going home sad though, because I already won. That’s the way I want people to look at things.”

      6ix9ine Accuses Lil Durk of Using King Von to Boost Album Sales

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘FEFE’ hitmaker has since been called out for being ‘mad disrespectful’ over his comment on Durk’s new album while also dissing the late ‘Crazy Story’ rapper.

      Dec 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tekashi69 a.k.a. 6ix9ine is once again using King Von to troll Lil Durk. Reviving his feud with the founder of the Only the Family record label, the Brooklyn-born artist has accused the latter of using the late rapper to boost the sales of his latest album.
      It all began when DJ Akademiks, who is known for being friends with 6ix9ine, reported on Durk’s “The Voice” projected first week sales. “Lil Durk ‘The Voice’ is on pace to sell 55K this week,” so the post on Akademiks’ Instagram page read, along with an artwork of the mixtape which features a picture of Durk and Von sitting side-by-side.
      Paying tribute to the late rapper, Durk wrote on the cover art, “Long Live Grandson.” He was referring to Von’s nickname “Grandson”, which is said to be related to David Barksdale, the founder of the Black Disciples which Von was allegedly a member of.
      Not impressed by the number Durk garnered for his new album, 6ix9ine weighed in on it, “Used Von name for sales. Is NOT blackballed has all industry support. 55k and his man was caught in 4K.” The “TROLLZ” rapper added, “#KingVon REST IN PISS.”

      It didn’t take long for 6ix9ine to catch flak over his distasteful comment about Von. Replying to his comment on Akademiks’ post, one clapped back at him, “so mad u sold 20k first week and 80% of ur sales were bundles and ain’t ur biological dad get caught lackin outside of a 711 while u was beating ur baby mama lol.”
      Another called 6ix9ine “a lame,” while a third user called him out for being “mad disrespectful.” Another warned him, “wow n***az goona eat yu,” while someone else launched a threat not only to the rapper, but also to his child and baby mama, “can’t wait for the day they kill you, you baby moms and your kid.”
      This isn’t the first time 6ix9ine used Von to troll Durk. Back in November, he responded to Durk’s tribute to his artist, “Nuski now von AND you still rapping go pick up a gun.” The 24-year-old added five rolling on the floor laughing emojis.
