    Donald Trump's Campaign Team Uses T.I.'s Song to Attack Joe Biden

    WENN/FayesVision

    A post on the president’s official Snapchat account features Tip’s ‘Whatever You Like’ with parts of its lyrics being swtiched to diss the Democratic presidential candidate.
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Donald Trump is once again risking himself of getting hit with allegation of illegal use of an artist’s work to attack his political enemy, Joe Biden. In a sly move likely to appeal to young demographic, the president’s reelection campaign team has repurposed T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” as a diss song aimed at the Democratic presidential candidate.
    On Trump’s official Snapchat account, his team posted slideshow of images of Biden with T.I.’s song playing in the background. However, instead of its original lyrics, “I want yo’ body, need yo’ body/ Long as you got me you won’t need nobody,” Trump’s clip has T.I. saying, “I don’t want Joe Biden, need Joe Biden/ As long as you got me you won’t need Joe Biden.”
    T.I. has not publicly responded to Trump’s use of his song, but it’s safe to say that he won’t be happy about it. The rapper previously made public of his disapproval of the president when he was elected into the office in 2016.
    “Donald Trump, this message is for you. My name is Clifford ‘T.I.P.” Harris,” the Atlanta rapper said in a clip posted on Instagram at the time. “I say this as nonviolently but unapologetically as possible. F**k you and f**k what you stand for. Nobody who support me will support you.”

    Last September, he also spoke against what Trump stands for while criticizing conservative figure Candace Owens’ support for the president. “When you say ‘Make America Great Again,’ which period are we talking about?” he said. “The period when women couldn’t vote, the period when we were hanging from trees, or the crack era? Which period in America are you trying to make America like again?”
    Meanwhile, social media users have called out Trump and his team for the use of T.I.’s song, with one remarking, “Wheww the desperation.” Some others predicted it’s only a matter of time before Tip slammed Trump for the unauthorized use of his song.
    “T.I. Bout to turn his vernacular up [100]…dictionary in hand!” one wrote. Another commented, “I need @troubleman31 to come through with a strongly worded cease and desists! Expeditiously.”

    Megan Thee Stallion Scores First No. 1 Single on Billboard Hot 100 With Beyonce Collaboration

    Instagram

    Toppling Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s hit ‘Stuck With U’, ‘Savage’ has also helped the ‘Formation’ singer to join the list of 21 acts who have scored seven or more number ones.
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion has landed her first U.S. number one with a little help from Beyonce Knowles.
    The pair’s “Savage” collaboration has rebounded from five to one to topple Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s hit “Stuck With U”.
    The song also earns Beyonce a spot in an exclusive Billboard Hot 100 club – she is among only 21 acts who have scored seven or more number ones. She also ties Mariah Carey as the only artist to have landed chart-toppers in each of the last three decades.

    Megan and Beyonce’s success continues a run of number ones for artists and guests, which began with Travis Scott (II) and Kid Cudi’s “The Scotts”, which debuted at the top on 9 May. Doja Cat’s collaboration with Nicki Minaj also hit the summit a week later, before they were replaced by Grande and Bieber.

    Doja Cat’s “Say So” holds at two on the new chart, while The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” rebounds from four to three, DaBaby’s “Rockstar”, featuring Roddy Ricch, is at four, and Drake’s “Toosie Slide” rises a spot to round out the top five.
    The remainder of the top 10 is: “Life is Good” by Future, featuring Drake, Roddy Ricch’s “The Box”, Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now”, “Intentions” by Justin Bieber, and Post Malone’s “Circles”, which extends its top 10-run record to 38 weeks.

    Instagram

    A fan attempts to assure them that they both can be good rappers without putting down each other, but Coi responds, ‘I reached out to her !! I f***ed with her !! Never said anything bad about her.’
    May 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rico Nasty and Coi Leray were involved in an online argument on Twitter. It looked like the beef started after Coi provoked Rico by saying that she looked better and made “BETTER MUSIC” than her.
    “when you see me Just make sure you keep that same energy… I showed you love but you just can’t deal with that I MAKE BETTER MUSIC THAN YOU , I LOOK BETTER THAN YOU, I DRESS BETTER THAN YOU , and never in my life I JOCKED your style,” Coi wrote on Monday, May 25 on the blue bird app. Quote-retweeting the post, Rico said, “I haven’t laughed this hard since idk when . I could hear ur lisp through this . Shut up d**k eater.”
    “Make better music .. lemme see ya streams and YouTube views . Have u went gold or platinum THEEF**K U ARE FAMOUS BC YOU SUCK A MEAN D**K WITH THEM BIG A** TEETH,” Rico clapped back in a separate post. “Don’t come over here making this s**t about me . I was minding my business . Tryna get s**t RITE with MY FRIEND.”
    Not stopping there, Rico continued, “All y’all can suck my d**k.” Referring to a make-up artist that became friends with Coi after falling out with Rico, the latter added, “U wanna be cool with Scott so bad . I know so much s**t about u and I don’t even kno ur a** . Keep my name out of your mouth . On god.”
    When Coi reminded Rico that she’s “been out here for 5 years plus,” Rico responded, “Lmaoaooooa 5 years plus .. b***h my son not even 5 yet …. CUT THE S**T … 4 years baby gworl sold out ALL MY OWN TOURS over seas and USA … what’s up?”

    Rico Nasty and Coi Leray were beefing on Twitter.
    She went on tweeting, “WHAT HAVE U DONE ?????! WHAT HAVE U SOLD OUT BY YOURSELF????? AINT U FROM NEW YORK ???? Every show I’ve ever had out there has been SOLD OUT . I’m not doing this. Now go drop a single with this promo and it BETTER BE GOOD.”
    A fan then attempted to assure them that they both can be good rappers without putting down each other. In response to that, Coi wrote, “I reached out to her !! I f***ed with her !! Never said anything bad about her but the way she speaking on me is WACK … saying I ‘take her style’ B***H .huh?”
    Rico has yet to comment on Coi’s claim about her reaching out to her.

    Taylor Swift Fans Share Conspiracy Theories About Mysterious 'Look What You Made Me Do' Cover

    Instagram

    Swifties believe that the cryptic cover, which appears in the latest episode of ‘Killing Eve’ and is sung by previously unknown band Jack Leopards and The Dolphin Club, is her way to get back at Scooter Braun.
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift may be quietly getting her revenge at Scooter Braun. Following the debut of a cryptic cover of her 2017 hit “Look What You Made Me Do”, her fans are speculating that there’s a conspiracy behind the song that appeared in the latest episode of “Killing Eve”.
    The country-turned-pop superstar took to Twitter on Sunday, May 24 to share the cover of her song. “VERY STOKED about this cover of lwymmd on @KillingEve by Jack leopards & the dolphin club!!” so she wrote along with a 30-second opening credits of the hit TV series.
    The dark, moody take on the single off “Reputation” is performed by previously unknown band Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Club, but Swifties think that there’s more behind it. Fans are convinced that Taylor’s brother Austin is providing the male vocal tracks on the song.
    According to CNN, Taylor had asked “Killing Eve” creator/producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge if her brother could sing on the show’s soundtrack when the two met up at the Golden Globes earlier this year. Some speculators also claimed that Austin once used “The Dolphin Club” as his Twitter display name. Additionally, the single cover appears to be based on a photograph of Austin as a little boy wearing a dolphin club T-shirt.
    Another theory pointed out that Jack Antonoff, a co-writer of the original version of “Look What You Made Me Do”, is listed in the credits as a producer, along with Nils Sjoberg. Fans may remember that Taylor used the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg when she co-wrote her then-boyfriend Calvin Harris’ song “This Is What You Came For” featuring Rihanna.
    All of these theories suggest that the cover may come from Taylor herself. Fans think that she’s keeping it a secret to outsmart Scooter Braun, following their feud due to his purchase of the master recordings of her first six albums when he acquired Taylor’s former label Big Machine last year.
    At the time, the 30-year-old singer/songwriter said she felt “sad and grossed out” by the news and called the situation “the worst-case scenario.” She later also accused Scooter and Big Machine of trying to block her from performing her old songs at the American Music Awards and in her Netflix documentary “Miss Americana”.

    Mel C Keen to Get Back on Stage With Spice Girls After Sharing Thoughts on 'Spiceworld' Tracks

    Instagram

    The Sporty Spice takes a trip down memory lane during the premiere episode of the Track By Track podcast, revealing that ‘Too Much’ remains one of her ‘absolute favourite Spice Girls songs.’
    May 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Pop star Mel C (Melanie C) is keeping her “fingers crossed” for future “Spice Girls reunion shows after taking a trip down memory lane to revisit the band’s 1997 album “Spiceworld”.
    The singer re-listened to the tunes from the girl group’s second studio release for the Track By Track podcast, on which artists are invited to share their memories about old projects on air.
    The episode premiered on Monday (May 25), when Mel C decided to share her thoughts on each tune with fans on Twitter, too.
    During the chat, the Brit revealed “Too Much” remains one of her “absolute favourite Spice Girls songs”, while “Do It” is “probably the Spice Girls song with (the) most difficult lyrics to remember.”
    Mel C also expressed her love for “Denying”, and confessed she was always convinced bandmate Geri Halliwell – now Horner – would trip up whenever they performed the track live onstage: “The funny thing with ‘Denying’ is all it makes me think about is when Geri used to roller-skate on to the stage in the original tour in 1998,” she recalled, “and me, just waiting for her to fall off stage one night, but she never did miraculously!”
    Meanwhile, she advised followers to check out the blooper reel for the “Never Give Up on the Good Times” dance from their “Spice World” movie.
    “It still is probably the biggest mess-up I’ve made on choreography which caused the girls huge laughs and is one great bloopers (reel) you can see online, which is definitely worth a watch,” she tweeted.
    Mel went on to admit hearing “Viva Forever” is always “bittersweet” as it reminds her of the time Geri quit the group.
    “#VivaForever… what a beautiful song! So many magical memories being on stage looking out across those audiences, performing this song,” she began, before adding, “This was the song we released when Geri left the band back in 1998, so always makes me think of that…”
    Referencing last year’s (19) comeback gigs across the U.K. and Ireland, she continued, “It will always be a special song and it was lovely to get back on stage and be able to perform it with Geri.”

    And Mel hasn’t given up hope of hitting the road with the Spice Girls once more, post-coronavirus.
    Wrapping up the Twitter session, she concluded, “I’ve absolutely loved listening to the ‘Spiceworld’ album, it’s made me feel very nostalgic and I’d love to get back on stage with the girls and perform for you all again. So fingers crossed we can do that at some point in the near future!”

    Collecting the Breakthrough award, the star said: “As an artist, we don’t get recognised, a lot of the time as songwriter, but as an artist that does write my music, I want to say thank you.”

    “Dance Monkey” topped the charts in more than 30 countries, including a record-setting 24-week run atop Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart and 11 weeks at the summit of the U.K.’s singles rundown – the most by a solo female artist.

    Sia Furler’s “Cheap Thrills” won the Most Performed Australian Work Overseas trophy for the third consecutive year.
    The APRAs, run by Australian performing rights organisation APRA AMCOS, were originally slated to take place on 28 April at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, but plans for the ceremony were scuppered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
    Instead, Monday’s virtual event was emceed by rapper Briggs and featured special performances curated by musical director Kate Miller-Heidke.
