Quando Rondo Shuts Down Instagram and Twitter After Accused of Lying About Canceled Show
Instagram
The ‘I Remember’ rapper deactivates his social media accounts after people notice that the evidence he shares to support his claim about being forced to call off his concert by police is dated January 2018.
Nov 30, 2020
AceShowbiz – Quando Rondo has gone social media silent following his canceled show fiasco. The rapper has deactivated his Instagram and Twitter accounts after he was accused of lying about police canceling his show.
The 21-year-old star was scheduled to perform in Georgia on Sunday, November 29. However, he called off the gig at the last minute after the Mayor of Georgia and the police department forced him to do so.
It was said that authorities canceled the show because they believed that Lil Durk and his crew might turn up at the concert, possibly to retaliate for the murder of King Von. Beef between Quando and Durk has been boiling since the former was reportedly involved in the shooting of King Von.
Quando took to Instagram Live on the day of the concert to inform his fans about the cancellation. In the video, he was seen leaving the venue after he got a call that the show had been canceled. He wore what appeared to be a bulletproof vest as saying, “I’ve been walking out, vest on all type of crazy.”He also shared security footage of himself and his crew allegedly entering the club where he was set to perform that night to prove his claim. The darkly-lit screengrab sees Quando having a conversation with a promoter before the concert shut down.

He captioned it, “Macon Show. This Is The Footage From Them Canceling The Show !! If You Listen To This Promoter He Clearly Said We Was There Early !!! Bu Ight.”
Many were not buying it though, as they pointed out that the date on his video evidence was for January 1, 2018. After people questioned the validity of the evidence, the “Motivation” emcee has subsequently deactivated his social media accounts.
Meanwhile, Quando’s pal has blamed 600Breezy for the show’s cancellation, claiming that Breezy reached out to the mayor to call off the performance.
Breezy has been firing shots at Quando on social media after King Von’s death, with the former challenging the latter to come to Chicago to perform his new song “End of Story”. Breezy additionally wrote on Twitter, “A whole hoe out chea,” seemingly directed at Quando.
Quando himself has declared himself not guilty in the fatal shooting of King Von. In his new song “End of Story”, he claimed that whatever happened was in self-defense.You can share this post!

Artist of the Week: Morgan Wallen
Straight off his CMA big win as New Artist of the Year, the ‘More Than My Hometown’ crooner is ascending the country music charts with two of his new singles.
Nov 30, 2020
AceShowbiz – Hot on the heels of his big win as the best New Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, Morgan Wallen is climbing up the charts with two of his new singles. “Somebody’s Problem” has risen to the second position on the U.S. Apple Music chart while “Still Goin Down” has reached the third place.
Both songs are expected to continue their ascend if the singer’s chart history is any indication – he topped country single charts with his two previous singles “More Than My Hometown” and “7 Summers”. All those tracks were taken from his upcoming sophomore effort called “Dangerous: The Double Album”.See also…
The new album is due to came out in January next year. It features a collaboration with fellow country star Chris Stapleton and includes a country version of “Heartless”, Wallen’s previous collaboration with Diplo, which has been certified triple platinum for selling more than three million units in sales and streams.
Wallen offers 30 songs in his latest studio offering. “The ‘double album’ idea started off as just a joke between me and my manager because we had accumulated so many songs over the past couple of years,” he explained. “Then quarantine hit, and we realized it might actually be possible to have enough time to make it happen.”
While the CMA award was a big celebration for Wallen, it has also inspired him to work harder as he knows it’s only the beginning of his journey to make his mark in the industry. Describing the win as “a kick in the rear toward the top,” he said, “I’ve had a lot of really good things happen this year, and a lot of things I wouldn’t consider good, but I’d put this at the top of the good list for sure.”You can share this post!

Halsey Accuses Grammys of Accepting Bribes in Response to 2021 Nomination Snub
Instagram
The ‘Without Me’ singer says Grammy nominations are about knowing the right people with the right handshakes as she responds to her lack of nominations.
Nov 30, 2020
AceShowbiz – Halsey has weighed in on the drama surrounding the 2021 Grammy nominations.
The star, who released her acclaimed album “Manic” in early 2020, failed to pick up any nods in the shortlist, which was announced earlier this week (ends27Nov20).
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the “Nightmare” singer addressed the situation, writing, “I’ve been thinking and wanted to choose my words carefully because a lot of people have extended sympathy and apology to me since the Grammy nominations (sic).”See also…
“The Grammys are an elusive process,” she explained. “It can often be about behind the scenes private performances, knowing the right people, campaigning through the grapevine, with the right handshakes and ‘bribes’ that can be just ambiguous enough to pass as ‘not-bribes.’
“And if you get that far, it’s about committing to exclusive TV performances and making sure you help the Academy make their millions in advertising. Perhaps sometimes it is (!!) but it’s not always about the music or quality or culture.”
Halsey went on to mention The Weeknd, who labelled the Recording Academy “corrupt” after also missing out on the nominations, despite landing critical and commercial success with album “After Hours” and one of the biggest-selling songs of 2020, “Blinding Lights”.
“@theweeknd deserves better, and Manic did too. Perhaps it’s unbecoming of me to say so but I can’t care anymore,” Halsey concluded. “While I am THRILLED for my talented friends who were recognized this year, I am hoping for more transparency and reform. But I’m sure this post will blacklist me anyway.”You can share this post!
