  • SAINt JHN Calls Off Video Shoot and Donates the Money for Black Lives Matter Cause

    Instagram

    The ‘Roses’ rapper has decided to cancel his music video shoot and use the money meant for the project to support the activists protesting racial injustice.
    Jun 5, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rising hip-hop star SAINt JHN has ditched plans to film a music video for his new collaboration with rapper Future in favour of using the budget to support the Black Lives Matter movement.
    The pair had been due to get together to shoot a promo for the remix of Saint Jhn’s breakout hit “Roses”, but the Brooklyn, New York native reveals he decided the money would be better served helping to bail out activists arrested during ongoing U.S.-wide demonstrations following the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who was killed at the hands of a white police officer on May 25, 2020.
    In a notepad post on Instagram, Saint Jhn explains he managed to convince Hitco Entertainment co-founder Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid to boost his budget from $60,000 to $100,000 and allow him to use the funds as he pleased – and the music mogul obliged.
    “I asked him to give me the video budget and don’t ask what I’m gonna do with it. He agreed. That’s legendary s**t,” Saint Jhn wrote. “We should never be afraid to do the right thing!”
    He went on to reveal he was bumping the donation up to $125,000 and splitting it between a bail out organisation and “black owned businesses affected right now.”
    “I don’t got no speeches, I ain’t a speech n**ga (sic),” the 33 year old declared in the accompanying caption. “People are hurt and I feel them, period.”
    Saint Jhn joins the likes of The Weeknd, Chrissy Teigen, Steve Carell, and Seth Rogen to pledge donations to bail out protesters.

    Sharing the uplifting number amid civil unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s death, the ‘Homesick’ crooner announces that all proceeds will benefit the Boys And Girls Clubs of America.
    Jun 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kane Brown has come out with an uplifting song in the midst of the Black Lives Matter protests. On Thursday, June 4, the “What Ifs” hitmaker released “Worldwide Beautiful” with the hope that it could bring people together during these difficult times in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
    In an Instagram announcement he made hours prior to the release, the 26-year-old crooner explained that he had been holding onto this song produced by Dann Huff for a year. He added that all proceeds will go to the Boys and Girls Club of America to advocate for justice and equality for the millions of youth.
    In the chorus of the song, the American Music Awards winner sings about seeing past each other’s skin color. “You’re missing every color/ If you’re only seeing black and white/ Tell me how you’re gonna change your mind/ If your heart’s unmovable,” he croons. “We ain’t that different from each other/ From one to another, I look around/ And see worldwide beautiful.”
    “Worldwide Beautiful” came out hot on the heels of Brown’s new single “Cool Again”. It is expected to be included on the “Homesick” singer’s upcoming album.
    Brown has previously talked about the song. During an interview with Billboard in November 2019, the father of one teased, “I got a song called ‘Worldwide Beautiful’ – this is also my tour name.” He elaborated, “It’s a song about meaning. It brings up color, that I’m really excited about. I’m really excited to show it to the world.”
    In regards to the protests over the death of George Floyd that have taken over the country, Brown first shared his thought on Twitter. “We will never see peace in this world until we ALL see each other as PEOPLE,” he tweeted. “We will never understand each other when you have people on 2 different sides. We have to become 1 to be at peace.”

    The “Lose It” singer later shared a capture of the tweet on his Instagram account. Along with it, he wrote, “I’ve been trying to think of how to say this as easy as possible and not be bashed because of the different sides. I hate confrontation but this is the truth whether you wanna Believe it or not.” He added, “any questions I’ll answer as many as I can.”

  • 6ix9ine Pushes Back Release of New Song Again Out of Respect for George Floyd Protests

    Instagram

    The ‘Gooba’ rapper’s new single along with its music video, which was originally slated to arrive on May 22, is now rescheduled for June 12 in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.
    Jun 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tekashi69 a.k.a. 6ix9ine is honoring the Black Lives Matter movement by postponing the release of his new song. The rapper has announced that his new single, which was originally slated to arrive on May 22, has been pushed back to Friday, June 12 out of respect for the nationwide protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
    The New York City artist took to his Instagram page on Wednesday, June 3 to announce the delay. “Music video will be pushed back again to June 12th,” he wrote on a plain black background, adding, “Out of respect for what we are going through right now.”
    He added in the caption, “It’s not the time for a music video right now with everything going on in the world. It will be extremely selfish,” before assuring fans that it will finally arrive “JUNE 12TH NEXT FRIDAY.”

    The track had been previously postponed twice. In late May, he announced that the song was pushed back another week to this coming Friday, June 5. At that time, he explained that the reason of the delay was simply because the music video was not ready yet.
    As with his previous release, details of the new song are still kept under wraps. 6ix9ine has not announced the new single, though he has opened a contest to let fan decide the title of the song. It’s additionally reported that the song will feature Nicki Minaj.
    “I’m hearing that @6ix9ine has a new track with @NICKIMINAJ coming out soon – Let us wait,” Power 105.1 radio jock Honey German tweeted last month. The “Anaconda” hitmaker reportedly flew to New York to film the music video at 6ix9ine’s home.
    Meanwhile, the “FEFE” hitmaker has been boasting that his new song will break the internet. “NEXT VIDEO WILL BREAK THE INTERNET IM PUSHING IT BACK TILL NEXT FRIDAY MAY 29TH,” he posted on Instagram before postponing the song for the second time.
    6ix9ine’s first post-prison song “Gooba” debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending May 23 and its music video broke Eminem’s YouTube record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour period after it was released on May 8.
