      Meanwhile, after multiple clarifications, the ‘Born to Die’ singer is constantly trying to explain her true intentions with her controversial remarks as she is accused of racism.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Doja Cat might be the only one musician whom Lana Del Rey mentioned in her controversial Instagram post that publicly reacted to it. Fans noticed that the “Say So” hitmaker wrote a cryptic message on her Twitter account before quickly deleting it, prompting fans to assume that it was her response to Lana’s anti-feminist rant.
      The said tweet read, “Gang sunk that dunker.” The post wasn’t up for too long since Doja removed it immediately. The singer, however, wrote part of the phrase in another tweet on Friday, May 22, saying, “Gang ______________. (Complete it).” Additionally, she changed her Twitter handle to “GANG?”.

      Doja Cat wrote a cryptic message.

      Doja went with cryptic tweet and Twitter name
      Fans, however, were struggling to decipher the meaning of Doja’s tweet. According to a fan, “gang, meaning a friend and in this place referencing Lana. So Lana sunk, as in she landed, and dunker meaning the point trying to get across, (Imagine dunker meaning truth bomb). So Lana’s points were made.” Should this interpretation be true, Doja is definitely in team Lana.
      Meanwhile, Lana is constantly trying to explain her true intentions with her remarks as she is accused of racism. After multiple clarifications, the “Born to Die” singer posted on Friday on her Instagram account “a couple of final notes on my ‘controversial post’ that’s not controversial at all.”
      “Despite the feedback I’ve heard from several people that I mentioned in a complimentary way, whether it be [Ariana Grande] or Doja Cat – I want to say that I remain firm in my clarity and stance in that what I was writing about was the importance of self advocacy for the more delicate and often dismissed, softer female personality, and that there does have to be room for that type in what will inevitably become a new wave/3rd wave of feminism that is rapidly approaching. Watch!” she added.
      “Perhaps I could’ve given more context to my post by mentioning the title of the second book that would be out next March called ‘behind the iron gates- insights from an institution’,” she continued. “I’m sorry that the folks who I can only assume are super trump/pence supporters or hyper liberalism or flip-flopping headline grabbing critics can’t read and want to make it a race war, when in fact the issue was with *female critics and *female alternative artists who are dissociated from their own fragility and sexuality and berate more sexually liberated artists like muself and the women i mentioned.”
      “My aim and my messages are clear. That I have control of my own story. If the women I mentioned don’t wanna be associated with me that’s absolutely fine by me,” Lana concluded.

      Prior to this, Lana insisted that she mentioned Nicki Minaj, Beyonce Knowles, Camila Cabello, Kehlani, Doja and Ariana in her original post out of admiration. “To be clear because I knowwwwww you love to twist things. I f***ing love these singers and know them. #that is why I mentioned them I would also like to have some of the same freedom of expression without judgment of hysteria,” she explained. “the singers I mentioned are my favorite singers. so if you want to try and make a bone to pick out of that like you always do be my guest.”

      Halsey Calls New Album a Love Letter to Her Bipolar Disorder

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Without Me’ singer says she made peace with her mental illness during the making of her third studio album appropriately called ‘Manic’ which was released in January.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Halsey has opened up about accepting her bipolar disorder in a new YouTube series for Mental Health Awareness Month, May 2020.
      The “Without Me” singer took part in the Artist Spotlight Stories with psychologist Snehi Kapur and discussed finally making peace with herself after being diagnosed in her teens and experiencing drastic moodswings.
      “In the process of making this album, I had to make peace with this manic version of myself,” she said of recording her latest release, Manic, which reached listeners in January, noting the album is a “love letter” to bipolar disorder.
      Halsey, who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for a 17-day stay after attempting suicide at the aged of 17, moved on to discuss the difficult social problems she’s had to navigate while managing her own mental health. “I think that our culture, in a way, has an obsession and a distaste for the ‘crazy woman,’ ” she said. “We love her but we also weaponise that word against her… The way that they (media) can take the narrative away from you after you’ve chosen to share it is what’s one of the most terrifying parts.”
      Halsey is also often puzzled by fans who insist she doesn’t look like someone with mental health struggles. “They see a young woman who’s achieving all of these goals,” she explained.

      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rapper Iggy Azalea has confirmed she is recording a new album in Los Angeles following reports of becoming a new mum.
      The “Fancy” hitmaker is rumoured to have welcomed her first child with MC boyfriend Playboi Carti at the end of April 2020 and although she has yet to comment on the baby hearsay, the star has verified she is in the studio working on her third LP.
      Iggy wrote in response to a fan on Twitter who inquired if she was in Los Angeles, California recording an album, “Yes & Yes.”
      The Australian star released her sophomore effort “In My Defense” last year to poor critical reviews and low sales, with the album debuting at number 50 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.
      DJ Akademiks was the first to publicly acknowledge rumours of Iggy becoming a mother on May 1 when he told his Instagram followers, “Talked to some ppl (people)… allegedly this is true. Congrats to #playboicarti and #iggyazalea if it is.”
      Neither Iggy nor Playboi have commented on the baby news. Azalea continues to post images of herself on her Instagram account donning clothing that bares her trim belly, suggesting pushback on talks of parenthood.

      Tegan and Sara Would Rather Be Called 'Sell-Out' Than Do 'Free' Gig on Social Media

      by

      WENN

      Sara Quin says she and her sister and bandmate Tegan refuse to follow the livestream trend and do free concerts only to generate money for social media.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tegan and Sara rocker Sara Quin won’t be joining the new livestream gig trend as she doesn’t want to work for social media platforms for free.
      The Canadian musician and her sister and bandmate Tegan have been keeping in touch with fans during the Covid-19 pandemic by broadcasting insights into their lives as a weekly show, “Where Does the Good Grow?”, on Instagram Live.
      However, Sara says fans can’t expect any livestream concerts as she objects to generating money for social media sites by performing on their platforms.
      “My hesitation is that it’s a form of labour we do for free that is generating money for Instagram and Facebook and Twitch,” the musician tells The Guardian newspaper. “I know it’s not cool to be a sell-out and to say you need money and you want your fans to pay for things, but I feel as artists we need to be comfortable being transparent about that.”
      The “Closer” hitmaker went on to say that while she is fine with others using the internet to perform, it’s not for her.
      “I’m inspired by people doing livestreams and making content, but I don’t feel inspired to do it, because I hate playing concerts to people holding up their cellphones, and I don’t want to play a concert to my cellphone,” the 39-year-old explains.
      Sara also complains that global restrictions on concerts due to the pandemic have “f**ked* the band’s “ecosystem” by putting their team out of work, and complained about the rates artists receive from streaming services.
      “Instead of asking consumers to solve the problem, the industry needs to have a reckoning about the way we value music, and that needs to be platform-wide,” she adds.

      WENN

      Prior to pursuing his music career, the Migos rapper was a football star at Berkmar High School for nearly 10 years ago, but he decided to drop out of school just months before his graduation.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Quavo is finally a proud high school graduate. The Migos member, who previously choose his music dreams over academics, took to his Instagram account on Thursday, May 21 to share with his followers that he had earned his high school diploma.
      Alongside a set of high school graduation photos, the 29-year-old Grammy winner bragged about his newly-accomplished milestone. “Finally Can Say I Graduated High School Class Of QUARANTINE 2020,” so he captioned the pictures. “Now What College Should I Go To?”
      As a musician, there’s no better way to celebrate his graduation other than with the release of a new song. “And To Celebrate We Gonna Drop SMASH TONIGHT BERKMAR HIGH NAWFSIDE BABY,” so Huncho announced, referring to his new song “Need It” featuring his Migos teammates Offset and Takeoff as well as YoungBoy Never Broke Again a.k.a.

      6ix9ine Reportedly Teaming Up With Nicki Minaj for Next Song

      by

      Instagram

      Report of his supposed collaboration with the ‘Anaconda’ raptress comes after the ‘Gooba’ hitmaker claimed that he’s going to ‘break the internet’ with his upcoming music video.
      May 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – 6ix9ine’s recent claim to “break the internet” with his upcoming music might not be an exaggeration. The “FEFE” hitmaker is reported to be prepping a collaboration with one of today’s top hip-hop artists, Nicki Minaj, while he’s serving home confinement.
      According to MTO News, the top secret project is done, with the “Starships” raptress having “already recorded her part” in Los Angeles and “Tekashi did his part” in New York. A source reportedly close to the Trinidad and Tobago-born femcee additionally tells the site that Nicki is traveling to New York to film a video for the new song this coming weekend.
      Should the report of the Nicki duet be true, it will mark 6ix9ine’s first collaboration with any artist since his early release from prison due to the coronavirus pandemic. The “Anaconda” hitmaker, meanwhile, recently earned her first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with Doja Cat’s “Say So (Remix)” which features her.
      Earlier on Thursday, May 21, 6ix9ine told his fans that he intended to cause an even bigger stir with his next music video, following the release of his first post-prison song, “Gooba”. The 24-year-old star posted on Instagram along with a picture of him holding two kittens, “NEXT VIDEO WILL BREAK THE INTERNET IM PUSHING IT BACK TILL NEXT FRIDAY MAY 29TH.”
      “Gooba” 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. He, however, was not pleased with the song’s chart performance, accusing Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Billboard of chart manipulation after the two singers’ duet “Stuck With U” reached No. 1 and his debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending May 23.
      Ariana and Justin have denied the allegation, with Billboard responding to the rapper’s “six credit cards” claim. “Billboard and Nielsen Music/MRC Data conducts audits on all sales reported with access to purchase-level detail, and works with data partners to recognize excessive bulk purchases and remove those units from the final sales total. All titles this week, as in every week, were put under the same scrutiny,” Billboard stated.
